The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 386 Setting Them Up?

The man who had been guarding Jodie had died.

This time, her biological father arranged for someone else to escort her back to Cebros.

Although she was part of the geomancy association, she was well aware of what had happened in

Cebros.

So, she had already figured out how to reintegrate herself back into the Gray Family.

Before returning to the Gray Family, she had the man check on Steven and her other brothers’

situation.

She found out that Steven was on a business trip with their eldest brother while Salma and the other

four brothers were at home.

With this information, she made herself look haggard and disheveled before returning home.

Jodie came back during lunchtime.

Lately. Salma’s temper had become unpredictable due to the incident with the worms.

Whenever Steven and Reuben were away on business, Salma demanded that her other four sons

have lunch with her every day.

Anyone who didn’t listen or tried to escape would definitely be scolded harshly.

The Gray Family brothers had been avoiding their mother like mice avoiding a cat lately.

This was because Steven had instructed them to appease Salma as much as possible.

It would be troublesome if her mood turned sour and she started causing trouble.

There was no choice but for the four brothers to have lunch at home with their mother every day.

Just as they started eating, the butler brought Jodie in.

Salma and the Gray Family brothers were a bit confused.

And when Jodie saw Salma’s appearance, she was startled.

Her face was covered in red spots, which was quite terrifying-

It was even scarier than when she had been affected by the backlash before.

However, she had mentally prepared herself for this, so she suppressed her fear and disgust.)

She muddenly walked quickly and half-knelt in front of Salma…

She reached out and hugged Salma, crying, “Mom, I missed you so much!” Salma was taken aback

when Jodie hugged her and she became stunned.

, he couldn’t help but he moved

Even in her current state, her adopted daughter not only recognized her but also hugged her without

any disgust.

Meanwhile, her own sons

were not at all considerate.

They had to be forced to have a meal with her.

Because of this, instead of pushing Jodie’s hand away as she had initially planned, she ended up

patting the other’s shoulder.

She asked, “Are you okay at the geomancy association?”

Jodie breathed a sigh of relief and, with a hint of pride in her eyes buried in Salma’s embrace, replied,

“I was controlled by that ancient master. When the curse was lifted at the geomancy association, I went

through a lot of hardships.”

The geomancy association even punished me by locking me up in a water dungeon.”

“It’s all worth it now that he can no longer control me.”

“I can come back and reunite with YOU all.

She rubbed her head against Salma affectionately and dependently, saying, “Mom, when I was locked

up. I thought of you every day.”

“Especially when I think of our childhood when you held me. She began to reminisce about the

kindness Salma had shown her and the beautiful memories they had shared.

It must be said that playing the family card ar Salma’s most vulnerable moment really touched her and

softened her heart.

After all, Jodie had been treated as a biological daughter for many years, always dependent on and

close to

her.

Salma’s plan to have the butler send Jodie away changed as well.

“Who would have thought that the old master would be so evil and use you to harm us.”

She touched Jodie’s head and said. “It’s good that you’re back now.”

Jodie looked up, tears of gratitude filling her eyes. “Mom, you’re really amazing.”

I will take good care of you and be filial to you in the future.”

She knew what Salma wanted to hear the most right now.

After all, Sumone, her biological daughter, was so cold and heartless.

Sure enough Salina’s gaze softened considerably.

Okay, Emm now on, just stay with me.”

She felt yay lonely now and needed someone close to her.

Whether it was parents, siblings, husbands, sons, or daughters, none of them understood her or cared

for

her.

She looked at Jodie and said. “Whatever you lack, let the butler prepare it for you again.”

Jodie hugged Salma’s arm and rubbed against it, saying, “Mom still loves me.”

When the Gray Family’s four brothers saw this display of motherly love and filial piety, they didn’t know

what language to use to express their feelings.

Was their mother so easily deceived? Just a little hug, and she would soften and agree to let Jodie

stay.

She needed Jodie’s sweet words to coax her.

But this was a trap for them… The four brothers had the same idea: Jodie definitely couldn’t stay.

They looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Then Luca. Andrew, and Aaron all looked at Titus at the same time.

They kept blinking at him.

And they gestured with their mouths towards Salma and Jodie, indicating that the second eldest should

go.

Titus rolled his eyes and whispered, “Can’t you guys go yourselves?”

The other three understood each other without speaking and said in unison, “Since the eldest isn’t

here, of course, it’s up to the second eldest.”

Titus. These bestards, they never think of him when there’s something good to do, but when it comes

to being the bad guy, they let him do it

But he was also afraid of Jodie.

So, he looked at Salma with a forced smile and said, “Mom, you haven’t forgotten what Dad said

before. have you?”

Salma’s body stiffened when she heard this.

She naturally knew what he was referring to.

Her husband meant to send Jo away.

She glared at Titus, “How could you all be so heartless? She’s your sister, too.”

don’t you stay at home and spend more time with me? Is that not possible!” Jodie knew right away that

Steven wanted to drive her away.

“Don’t blame me, okay? I promise I will never do that again.”

Titus sneered, “Only a fool would believe that.”

He had seen through Jodie and would not believe in any manipulation

Salma’s expression contorted, feeling deeply offended.

Unable to resist. Andrew retorted, “Indeed, you sapped all my good fortune beforehand.”

“It was you who reaped the benefits, not that ancient master.”

Having endured immense torment and suffering, his mind had now become clear, and he wouldn’t be

deceived again.
