Chapter 399 Is It Worth It? Simone Had A Straightforward Expression On Her Face
She continued, “Although I don’t like Mrs. Gray, she and Melinda Carver have conspired against me.”
“But I won’t stoop as low as they do to slander and frame others intentionally.”
She truly despised such behavior.
In other words, she wanted Old Mr. Johnston and Old Mrs. Johnston to see their daughter.
Old Mr. Johnston was stunned for a moment, “What? She conspired with Melinda against you?”
Before Simone could speak, Elbert couldn’t help but comment, “Exactly. Auntie Salma has truly lost her mind. Not only did she harm me, but she also didn’t spare her daughter.”
Then, Simone relayed what she had told them before.
After Old Mr. Johnston finished listening, his expression became even more unpleasant.
He knew that his daughter had a stubborn personality, and she was indeed a bit selfish and self-centered.
But he didn’t expect it to have reached this point.
He looked at Simone and sighed. “It’s our fault for not teaching her well.”
“We never expected her to become like this.”
Old Mrs. Johnston angrily said, “That Jodie Gray is not a good person.”
“I called her before and told her not to raise her, to send her away as far as possible.”
“But she didn’t listen, and now she’s causing trouble with Jodie Gray.”
“They used to be really tight with Melinda, but now it has turned out like this.”
I’m speechless about her.”
Their daughter was born into a family like theirs, with the support of the Johnston Family, and her husband also had a sense of responsibility.
Otherwise, they didn’t know what kind of life she would have had.
At this moment, anger and deep disappointment toward their daughter arose within them.
Their daughter had crossed the line by scheming against her precious grandson.
Old Mr. Johnston had a similar thought.
What he wanted most was a peaceful home and harmony between his children.
at had their daughter done? He felt ashamed in front of his granddaughter and grandson.
Upon hearing her grandmother’s complaints, Luca Gray wore a pained expression and said, “Exactly.”
“Grandma, you don’t know. My mom now scolds us daily because of Jodie Gray.”
“She won’t allow us to send Jodie Gray away. Otherwise, she threatens to have us expelled from the Gray Family, to make us leave, and to…” He rambled on, and Titus and Aaron added on from the side.
This made Old Mr. Johnston and Old Mrs. Johnston realize a problem.
Their grandchildren also held a great deal of resentment toward their daughter, and their relationship had become more distant.
If their daughter continued like this, the rift between her and her grandchildren would grow stronger.
They couldn’t understand why it was worth it for the sake of an adopted daughter, especially when she wasn’t even present.
Otherwise, they wanted to see what was happening in her head… or maybe she had been influenced by Jodie? Old Mrs. Johnston comforted her grandchildren. “Your mother has lost her mind, but once we get rid of that Jodie, everything will be fine.”
Titus sighed. “In my mother’s eyes, Jodie is her flesh and blood; we are as worthless as the grass.”
“So, we shouldn’t hold out any hope.”
In saying this, they also wanted Old Mrs. Johnston to deal with their mother correctly and help her regain her clarity.
Old Mrs. Johnston’s face turned ugly as she said, “I’ll have your mother come over right now.”
“No matter what happens today, I will ensure she gets rid of that Jodie.”
“Otherwise, she can forget about recognizing us as her family.”
It was clear that the eldest of the family harbored resentment towards their daughter.
They had decided to sever ties with their daughter.
If it were any other matter, Old Mrs. Johnston could have tried to suppress it or persuade her.
But when it came to her grandchildren, she was furious with her daughter and couldn’t bring herself to do that.
Old Mr. Johnston agreed. “Yes, have her come over now.”
The evidence is right here. She won’t be able to deny it.”
Old Mrs Johnston nodded and then called her daughter.
Te the Gray Family’s house. Salma was sitting there with Jodie, considerately massaging her shoulders.
the incoming call, she didn’t think twice before answering
though, cold and stern, demanding that she go to the hospital
immediately.
She was given half an hour to arrive, or else she would never step foot into the Johnston Family again.
Before she could ask why, the call was abruptly ended.
Salma panicked. “Your grandmother called and told me to go to the hospital right away.”
“I hope they haven’t found out about Albert’s situation.” It was the first time her mother had spoken to her in such a cold tone after all these years.
Jodie thought momentarily and said, “It’s very possible.”
“Mom, don’t worry.”
“If this matter has been exposed, after you go to the hospital, just say that you will find a way to help your fifth cousin break the curse.”
“The master said he could help, so we’ll find a more powerful master from the geomancy association and help your fifth cousin break the curse in a while.”
“As long as it can be lifted, I believe Grandma and the others won’t blame you.”
Their plan required the Johnston Family to discover and learn about this matter.
Then, Salma would introduce the master to the Johnston Family.
That way, they could naturally receive their reward.
Listening to Jodie’s comforting words, Salma’s heart immediately calmed down.
Yes, she wasn’t refusing to save her nephew.
She was temporarily transferring the curse to her nephew’s b*dy, and then she would ask the master to remove it later.
She believed that her family would understand her.
She asked, “Are you going with me?”
Jodie hesitated and replied, “I’d better not go. They might not like to see me there.”
Salma wouldn’t transfer the curse as she introduced the master.
The Johnston Family was not stupid. They would think that she instigated Salma to do it.
if she accompanied them to the hospital, she would be the focal point of the Johnston Family’s wrath.
dence, the wouldn’t go.
thought about it and said. “Okay, then I’ll go alone!
de for Jodie to go as she might end up putting all the blame on her adopted daughter
Both of them had different thoughts.
Jodie took the initiative to usher Salma out, consistently influencing her thinking.
She implied that the master she knew was very powerful.
If Melinda asked the great warlock to deal with Salma again, that master could also handle it.
Jodie took this action out of concern that the Johnston Family might influence Salma and decide to leave and give up on her.
This was motivated by Jodie’s desire to ensure Salma’s safety and the importance of having a supportive daughter.
It was only with Salma’s unwavering determination that she could firmly reject the Johnston Family’s demands.
