Chapter 337 Despair
Andrew, let alone Steven, stared at Salma in disbelief.
Had Salma lost her mind? She was actually proposing that Steven should bail out a murderer.
Even if Steven had connections with influential people, they wouldn’t be able to a*sist in this predicament.
Steven gazed at Salma with a level of disappointment he had never experienced before.
“Do you believe Melinda’s words? Simone is our flesh and blood, and you question her based on someone else’s claims?” Salma’s anger flared at this.
I acknowledge she is my biological daughter, but she should also recognize us! You saw it on the live stream; she showed no respect for me.”
“I pleaded with her to help save Andrew, and she mocked me,” she continued. “She simply despises me as her mother and seeks any opportunity to retaliate against me deliberately.”
Steven realized that Salma harbored deep resentment towards Simone and reasoned with her was furile
So, he shifted the topic. “Do you know what happened to Banny? You agreed to let me bail him our
Salma responded. “She told me that Simone set up Banny and got him arrested. She didn’t specify his exact wrongdoings. She added nonchalantly, “Since he was falsely accused and framed, he couldn’t have done anything wrong. You can bail him out.
Steven was taken aback. Salma seemed to be growing more naive, manipulated by Melinda
He took a deep breath and said, “He has committed numerous wrongs, and it’s not Simone who framed. him. With so many people watching the live stream, even if Simone wanted to frame him, she couldn’t have succeeded. Banny not only drugged and imprisoned girls but also trafficked them overseas. Moreover, he was implicated in a murder case.
“All their crimes were broadcasted live, and we witnessed it too. His expression hardened. “You actually want me to bail out someone like that.”
“Are you suggesting that the Gray Family doesn’t have enough problems and wants to actively provide more for the opposing family? I can’t get involved in such a matter. let alone take the lead. Banny brought this upon himself and should face legal consequences,”
Salma was taken aback by these words. “How is that possible? Melinda said it’s not a big deal. Banny was falsely accused!”
His expression grew even grimmer. “You believe whatever she says. Are you a fool?”
This caused Salma’s expression to shift. “She’s my friend. How could I have known that such things were involved? There might be a misunderstanding.”
She asked, “So, what do we do now? You can’t help?”
Steven replied impatiently. “Of course, I can’t help. Adam has better connections than me, but she didint approach him. She came to you. She’s trying to extricate herself from trouble and drag us into it. Don’t

a*sociate with such a person in the future. Otherwise, you won’t even know when she betrays you.”
His aversion towards Melinda had now intensified.

Salma still couldn’t believe that her trusted friend had deceived her. “She said Adam was on a plane and couldn’t be reached by phone. She knew we were in the Cubilis, so she asked for help. Did Banny really do such a thing? Could it be a misunderstanding?
“Honey, I’ve already agreed to help. Why don’t you go and inquire again? If you can help, then help; if you really can’t, then forget it. This way, I can also give Melinda an explanation”
She had already made a promise, and breaking it would be embarra*sing.
Steven was livid. “You are beyond help. If you want to a*sist, go ahead and do it yourself. After all, your family connections are strong. I don’t have the capacity to save a murderer.”
After saying that, he disregarded Salma.
Andrew looked at Salma and said, “Mom, stop creating chaos. Simone isn’t so idle as to deliberately target
you.
He scoffed. This isn’t a TV drama. She doesn’t go after people around you.”
“It’s all because of Melinda. She sent Banny to stir up trouble for Simone intentionally, and that’s how he exposed himself
“You have poor judgment of people. Melinda is not a good person.”
That scoundrel Banny wanted to harm Simone, and now, he was reaping what he had sown
Salma couldn’t see through it, so she was upset by Steven’s words. Now, even Andrew wanted to reprimand her, making her furious.
“Fine. You guys have good judgment, huh?” She looked at Andrew and sneered. Then, you wouldn’t end up in this situation.
Andrew shrugged. I didn’t claim to have good judgment. I didn’t heed other people’s advice. That’s why I ended up in this situation.”
“Mom, please be vigilant. He advised her kindly, “If you don’t want to end up like me, stop doing
However, these words only added fuel to the fire.

Salma glared at him angrily. “You ungrateful child! I was worried about helping you before, but you want
To curse me.”“”
Tm not as foolish as you”
“Now, both you and your father are united against me because of Simone. Just say it directly if you’re dissatisfied. No need to bear around the bush.”
It was impossible to communicate with each other.

If that’s what you think, then there’s nothing we can do,”
Steven sighed. “We’re doing this for your own good. If you don’t listen, don’t regret
it later.”
Yet, Salma refused to listen. She was completely stuck in her own thoughts, believing that Steven and Andrew were all siding with Simone and targeting her.
“If you don’t help, then forget it. Why say so much? Fine. I’ll call my family.
Salma William
longer wanted Steven’s help. Instead, she took out her phone and called her older brother,
After the call connected, she explained the situation
The other side was silent for a few seconds
Then, William asked. “Are you in the hospital?”
Salma was puzzled. Yes. Why?”
He inquired. “Ask Steven to take you to see a psychiatrist.
Only someone with a mental or psychological problem would do something like this.
He really suspected that Salma had a mental issue.
calma was speechless. He had actually suggested she was mentally ill.
“William, it’s you who needs to see a psychiatrist. I’m perfectly fine.” She felt wronged. her eyes welling up with tears. If you’re not willing to a*sist, then forget it. Why do you have to belittle me like this?”
William was at a loss for words. “A reasonable person wouldn’t engage in such behavior. If you’re fine, then. why did you ask me to defend a murderer? When I saw the trending topics and news, I thought that Banny was despicable and hoped he would rot in jail. Someb*dy like him is a threat, and if he were given the death penalty everyone would applaud. How could I possibly defend him?”
He added in an irritated tone, “If you want to harm us, just say it.”
Salma was astonished. “Did he really commit these crimes? But Melinda claimed that Simone framed and falsely accused him!”
Her brother was frustrated. “Are you out of your mind? You don’t believe your own daughter and instead trust Melinda, who has always had a bad reputation.”
I strongly suggest you see a psychiatrist.” He truly couldn’t comprehend Salma’s thought process.
When she pushed away her own biological daughter to raise an adopted daughter, he felt like her mind was malfunctioning. And now, because of the words of an outsider, she doubted Simone even more.
She even wanted to drag their family down with her. It was hopeless.
I can’t help, and no one else in the family will help either. Just stop it.
“That’s it He finished speaking and ended the call.
