The Miraculous Simone Gray

Chapter 4 It Utterly Disgusts Me

While filming, Simone rarely initiated contact with the Gray Family and Leon. However, he would still visit her every month, taking care of her as before and denying any connection with Jodie. Nevertheless, the variety show and his affection for another woman left a deep pain in her heart. After completing the film, she returned to Cebros and made the decision to investigate the two of them. A few days after her movie was released, it unexpectedly became a hit, and she even received a nomination for the Best Actress award at a domestic film festival.

The director mentioned that she had a good chance of winning the award, but before she could attend the award ceremony, she and Jodie were kidnapped at the film festival. On that day, the Grays and Leon found them. During the negotiation, the kidnappers demanded that they choose who would be released first while the other would be left behind. Like the Gray Family, Leon chose to rescue Jodie. The family’s decision did not surprise her, but Leon’s choice deeply devastated her; it was truly unexpected. In that moment, she was shocked. Her boyfriend, who had been by her side since childhood, had given up on her for the sake of Jodie. She had only one thought—if she survived, she would sever ties with the Grays and Leon. Unfortunately, just as she was about to take matters into her own hands to save herself, one of the kidnappers, driven to madness, fired a shot at her. As she fell, she heard the Grays and Leon shouting her name, but her heart had already turned cold. Now, with a fresh start, she had cut ties with the Gray Family and naturally had to bid farewell to Leon as well. He did not expect Simone to mention Jodie and make such statements, furrowing his brows. “Nonsense. I don’t have a lover.” Just as he was about to continue speaking, he heard her voice in his ear. “Leon, let’s break up.” He was stunned, thinking he had misheard. “What did you say?” How could she suggest a breakup on her own? She repeated, “I said, let’s break up.” His expression changed slightly. “Take back those words, and I’ll pretend I never heard them.” She rolled her eyes and said, “I’m not seeking your opinion; I’m informing you. We’re breaking up. We’ll have no connection in the future.”

“You were dating me, yet you asked me to give up my place for her and secretly cared for her. You honestly make me sick.” If Leon had been honest with her from the beginning and expressed his feelings for Jodie or admitted that there was something special between them, perhaps the situation would be different. Even if she cared about him, she would not stay with him, let alone cling desperately. However, he had betrayed her before her death, so she genuinely felt repulsed. “Don’t contact me anymore.” After saying this, she hung up the phone. Then, she blocked and deleted all of Leon’s contact information. Meanwhile, Leon only regained his senses upon hearing the busy signal on his phone. He had not expected her to know about his dealings with Jodie behind her back, making the sudden breakup difficult for him to accept. He couldn’t resist it, so he called back, but all he received was a continuous busy signal, indicating that he had been

was not hurt or saddened this time. Simone first called the director to confirm her guest spot, and he gave her a positive response. Then, she searched online for information on how to register an artist studio. Gray Entertainment was one of the top three entertainment companies in the country. With Reuben and Titus aiming to boycott her and in the absence of any benefits, other entertainment companies and agents would indeed be reluctant to sign her due to their influence. However, Simone had already planned for this. If others refused to pick her up, she could simply establish her own studio. Not only could she act as her own agent, but she could also sign and nurture other artists. This way, the artists she signed would become more popular, and she could convert their loyalty into her life force. She called a lawyer she knew for advice. Over the next week, she successfully registered her artist studio, although she had not yet found a location or hired staff. She planned to do those things after finishing the variety show. Next, she went to the production team to sign the contract. As she stepped out, she saw Titus and Aaron, accompanied by Jodie, walking towards her. The three of them were chatting and laughing, but they all paused when they saw Simone. Upon

a renowned emerging genius director, while Aaron was a highly sought-after young male actor. As an A-lister, Aaron took the initiative to join this variety show. Not only would it boost the show’s popularity, but it would also earn him a favor from the Grays. Naturally, the director did not refuse. Previously, the Gray brothers had not taken this approach as they wanted
