There was also trouble her uncle’s house, and her biological mother came to her in tears every day. They cared about her a lot, which made her feel warm inside.

So now she hi
nem, one by one, for being so clueless. After Jodie spoke, Salma became even more furious. She s out her phone and called her four sons. Not only did they refuse to come and have dinner with her, they also mocked and belittled her.
It seemed like it was all her fault. They said they came to have dinner with her wholeheartedly, but she treated them as punching bags. And she kept scolding them, hurting their feelings. Since she insisted on acting this way, they would be the ingrates she said they were. They wouldn’t serve her anymore.
This made Salma so angry that she almost fainted. They really are a bunch of ungrateful people. How car they accuse me of wrongdoing?” They didn’t even want to accompany their biological mother for dinner, yet they had the audacity to claim they were filial.
Then she remembered the proposal her four sons had made. So, she called her eldest son and asked him to come and have dinner with her. During the time she was away from the Gray Family, her husband didn’t contact her proactively and showed no concern for her. Her family also held a grudge against her. When she left the Gray Family, not a single person bothered to show care or offer condolences.
Salma was starting to regret her decision. But she couldn’t bring herself to swallow her pride and make amends, so the situation remained tense. Now that her eldest son was back from his business trip, he might be able to help her return home.
Reuben received call from his biological mother and went to the villa after work. As souras he entered, he saw Jodie, who was full of smiles, welcoming him. “Reuben, you’re here.” Jodie greeted him and politely reached out to take the briefcase he was carrying. “Mom is waiting for you in the dining room.”
Although Re was wary of Jodie, he didn’t hold any grudges. The recent wave of artists switching companies had disgraced him. Not only were the shareholders of Gray Entertainment dissatisfied with but he also heard that there were some executives in the group who had some bad opinions about
One sister was his biological sister, and the other sister was a well-behaved and gente foster sister. He felt that his foster sister was better since at least she was obedient and understood his cues. His biological sister was becoming more and more infuriating.
He responded with a smile. “Alright, I’ll go to the dining room, then.”

aude. Jodie felt relieved as it wasn’t much different from before. She leaned lose to him and whispered. “Mom is not in a good mood. She’s been upset by the other four brothers.” She also slandered the other four around Reuben.
hearing Jodie’s words, Reuben frowned. “These four guys are getting out of hand. How could they say ne sarcastic and mocking things to their own mother? It was too much.
Jodie coquettishly said, “Exactly; luckily, we have you, Reuben.”
As they spoke, the two of them walked into the dining room.
Sanna saw her eldest son, and her attitude immediately improved. She first asked about his well-being and showed concert.

complain about the other four sons and her daughter. Reuben could only comfort rrived, but he didn’t have much time to eat. After soothing his mother, the food had zed that he had come to accompany his mother for a meal for nothing.
Afte fishing the meal, Reuben spent some time with his mother before suggesting that he should return to tray Family. However, Salma insisted that he stay overnight.
Reuben unintentionally caught sight of Jodie’s sparkling eyes and immediately declined his mother’s offer. What if Jodie set her sights on him if he stayed overnight? Although he hadn’t experienced Jodie’s power, the incidents involving his younger brothers were still fresh in his mind. It was better to be cautious and not make any mistakes. And he was genuinely afraid of his mother’s tendency to complain and scold hi brothers like a resentful woman.
Salma now found her eldest son pleasing, and she needed his help, so she didn’t insist. However, Jodie felt a bit disappointed. She wanted to spend more time with her older brother. But she wasn’t in a hurry. If the other four brothers didn’t come to accompany Salma for dinner, it would definitely be her older brother next. She had plenty of opportunities to get closer to him.
In the evening, Jodie received another phone call from her mother. She could only go to Salma’s room, where she first gave her a massage and then said all sorts of flattering words to please her. Just making an excuse to go see a doctor, Jodie managed to squeeze a few hundred thousand out of Salma.
As she walked out ith the card in her hand, the smile on Jodie’s face instantly disappear. After walking for a while, she cldn’t help but mutter under her breath. “After serving for so long, she ly gives me a 1ew hundred thousand. How stingy.”
The debt at hun le’s house required millions. The problem was that her previous money had been swindled, an lie was also tight on funds. She still wanted to go shopping properly. She turned her head and lanced in the direction of Salma’s room, pouting, “Who is this old woman guarding against? She
Leven let me stay on this floor. Hmph, as if I care.”
She was aware that despite Salma’s recent kindness towards her, she remained cautious of her. As a result, she felt irritated and unhappy. However, she still relied heavily on Salma; otherwise, she would take a page out of the other brothers’ book and leave Her Majesty to her own. Feeling distressed, Jodie went upstairs and returned to her own room. Unfortunately, she failed to notice the blinking red dot on a chandelier in
the corner.
Originally, this villa belonged to Nicholas, but Salma gave it to Jodie when she asked for it. Karah used to
