The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 468 It’s Too Painful

After Salma finished speaking, the three of them quickly adjusted their clothes and hair.

Titus, for the first time, looked at Salma with cold eyes and said, “Mom, why don’t we sever our

relationship as well? You can just live with Jodie. The rest of us are unnecessary.”

Salma was infuriated by his words. “I knew you were the most despicable among the rebellious

children.”

“What are you talking about? Simone and I have already severed our relationship, and during those

lost. years, I indeed did not raise her.

“If she wants to sever the relationship, I’ll accept it.”

“But you are the ones I raised. Why should I sever my relationship with you?” She snorted coldly. “Don’t

even think about it.”

“You are still my son. If you are unfilial, I will expose and sue you.

Thinking of cutting ties. They must be dreaming.

She had lost her pride in the past because of Simone.

And now, seeing Melinda and her children severed their relationship, it became a joke in their circle.

How could she possibly go through it again?

Moreover, why should she give in to these despicable sons? After severing the relationship, they would

have the audacity to not take responsibility for her as their biological mother. She wouldn’t allow that to

happen.

Titus replied, “Fine. If you don’t want to, then forget it.

“But what you have done recently has hurt us.”

“You have a precious adopted daughter by your side. If you need anything in the future, don’t come

looking for me.”

“Of course, when you grow old, I will take care of your elderly needs.”

He said coldly, “But other than that, I won’t bother anymore.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

Luca looked at Salma and said, “Mom, what Titus said is what we think, too.”

“When you reach the age where you need to be taken care of, call me, and I will provide you with a

pension. But don’t contact me for anything else.”

He also left after saying that.

Andrew, sitting in a wheelchair, looked up at Salma. With a hint of mockery, he said, “Mom, I need to

correct something you said earlier.”

“All our expenses from childhood to adulthood were paid by the Gray Family.”

“When we were young, we were mostly taken care of by the housekeepers and servants.”

“So, it’s too much to say that you raised us. But regardless, you are still our biological mother.”

“I will do the same. When you are old and need care, I will provide a pension, but don’t come looking

for me for anything else.”

He was the most angry and heartbroken.

He had been harmed by Jodie, and Salma still stood by Jodie’s side.

Since she chose her adopted daughter over them, her sons, they also didn’t need her.

Salma was so angry that her face turned pale, pointing at him with her hand. “You!”

Aaron looked at Salma, who was about to faint from anger.

After considering it, he decided to swallow the sarcastic words he was about to say.

“Mom, I agree with my brothers.”

“You’re on your own from now on.”

After saying that, he was about to leave.

Andrew, in an annoyed tone, said, “Take me with you. I don’t want to stay here and see my mother’s

cold face and someone else’s grieving appearance.”

He was referring to Jodie, who was kneeling and crying.

Only then did Aaron remember that Andrew was in a wheelchair.

But wasn’t his wheelchair electric? He must have been intentional to say that last sentence.

He turned around and pushed Andrew away.

Seeing Steven and her sons heartlessly leaving. Salma felt dizzy. She sat weakly on the couch.

Jodic felt delighted. If the Gray Family treated like this, then she would be the only one left. Especially

after hearing Steven say that after the divorce, according to the law, Salma would get a fair share of the

property.

If they were to divorce, it would be even more advantageous for her.

She put on a worried expression and said, “Mom, are you okay?” Then she immediately grabbed

Salma’s hand and said, “Should I take you to the hospital?”

Salma shook off Jodie’s hand and angrily said, “Co to the hospital? If someone takes pictures and

spreads it, won’t it be embarrassing? If it weren’t for you, they wouldn’t treat me like this.”

Now, she felt annoyed whenever she saw Jodie.

She regretted her impulsive decision to follow Jodle and live with her.

Otherwise, things wouldn’t have come to this.

Jodie knew very well that Salma regretted it, and she blamed herself for everything.

She knelt in front of Salma and kept crying, apologizing, “Mom, please don’t be angry. It’s not good for

your health. It’s all my fault.”

“If it weren’t for Dad and my brothers wanting to seek justice for Simone and vent their anger on me,

things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”

“I don’t want to burden you. I’ll leave soon.”

“I really miss the days when we were a happy family.”

Then she deliberately suggested, “Mom, why don’t you go find Simone?”

“As long as Simone forgives you, I believe Dad won’t bring up the divorce again.”

Hearing these words, Salma became even more furious. I should beg her for forgiveness?” “I haven’t

done anything wrong. Why should I go find her? If you want to leave, then go.”

“I want to be alone and calm down.”

After saying that, she supported herself and walked back to her bedroom, closing the door.

Lying in bed, Salma couldn’t help but cry

Steven and her sons’ attitude was too hurtful

Jodie’s words kept popping up in her mind.

Yes, they used to be a happy family. Where did all these problems come from?

It was all because of Simone’s return that their family fell apart

Suddenly, she had a thought that if they hadn’t brought Simone back, would things be different now?

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, but she forced herself to stop thinking

about it.

Then she called Old Mrs. Johnston and complained about Steven wanting a divorce and her four sons

saying heartless words.

After leaving the apartment, Steven called Old Mr. Johnston and explained the situation.

So now the Johnston Family already knew about Steven wanting a divorce and the reasons behind it

Therefore, instead of comforting Salma or seeking revenge on Steven, Old Mrs. Johnston scolded her.

She criticized her for taking in the daughter of their enemy, who also had a mischievous nature, and

said she had a problem with her brain.

Finally, Old Mrs. Johnston expressed her belief that it would be best for the marriage to end and then

abruptly ended the call.

She felt deeply disappointed in Salma and no longer wished to have any

Salma, filled with anger, burst into tears once again. Why was everyone blaming her now?

As evening fell, there came a knock on the door, and Jodie entered with a bowl of congee.

She personally served Salma, hoping to case the tension.

After finishing her meal. Salma looked at her coldly and remarked, “Aren’t you supposed to leave? Why

are you still here?” Jodie inwardly cursed, finding Salma to be selfish and heartless.

With tears in her eyes, she explained, “I can’t bear to leave you, so I want to wait until you’re better

before I

go.”

料

A sarcastic smile formed on Salma’s lips. “Do as you please.”

Later that night, Salma pondered the situation and decided to make a compromise.

After all, Steven and her sons were more important than Jodie.

If she were to get a divorce, she would lose her home and become the subject of ridicule. What good

was all that money? Besides, she had her own dowry and was not lacking in funds.

So she took the initiative to call Steven.
