The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 230

Chapter 230 Turning the Tables

Aaron discovered that Jodie had a remarkable talent for acting.

Her teary-eyed performance always came right on cue.

How blind were they in the past to not see through her act? And shouldn’t they be the ones. feeling wronged? After all the years of love and care, it felt like everything was for naught.

What did they do to deserve this? She was taking advantage of their misfortune.

Was she really their sister? In all honesty, she seemed more like an enemy seeking revenge for their father’s death.

Before, he and Luca didn’t want to think of her as so malicious, but now they were. completely hurt by her.

She was just toying with them, making empty promises.

Not only did she not take any real action, but she also wanted to harm them.

Aaron’s expression remained unchanged. “Is this just a game?” Jodie, with a poker face, replied, “Yes, it is.”

She didn’t believe her brothers would find out about the luck-stealing matter.

Aaron smiled. “Since it’s a game, let’s not take it seriously. Haven’t I loved you all these years?” he asked with a deep gaze. “For you, I even cut off ties with my own sister. Isn’t that enough? It was the worst thing he had done, and he deeply regretted it.

Jodie’s expression changed. She didn’t expect Aaron to bring up Simone while they were talking.

Now, she truly felt wronged.

Their years of affection couldn’t even compare to that outsider, Simone. After everyone left, they always talked about Simone and never considered how Jodie would feel. Tears welled up in her eyes as she muttered, “Aaron, I won’t take the blame for this. What does it have to do with me if you drove Simone away and cut off ties with her? I’ve always tried to persuade you not to let her go. I even said I would leave if she left. Now that you’re having conflicts and cutting off ties, why are you blaming me?” Tears streamed down Jodie’s face. “Aaron, your words really hurt me.”

Aaron was at a loss for words. She was truly skilled at turning the tables.

He laughed in frustration. “Yes, you’re the good guy, and we’re all the bad guys. Are you

satisfied now?” Then, he stood up, his face stern, and angrily walked away.

Luca remained silent. When did Aaron become so clever? He just slipped away like that. If I had known, I would have left in anger, too.

But he had the best relationship with Andrew, and he couldn’t bear to see him being deceived by Jodie. Who knows what will happen after his luck is borrowed? Will he continue to be unlucky, or will his lifespan be affected?

Meanwhile, Jodie never expected that Aaron would just leave without saying a word.

This was the first time she had been treated like this by him.

Andrew was also confused. “Is Aaron crazy?” Isn’t it just a game? Why did it escalate to such a serious issue, prompting him to walk away?

Hearing him say this, Jodie threw herself into his arms and sobbed. “Andrew, I feel so wronged and upset. Aaron is in a bad mood, so he takes it out on me. He bullies me,”

Andrew hugged her and comforted her, “Don’t cry. I’ll go teach him a lesson later.”

Seeing the two of them like this, Luca felt his heart breaking. Andrew is such a fool!

After being comforted by Andrew, Jodie stopped crying.

“Andrew, you’re the best. As if in defiance, she said, “Andrew, give me some of your luck and make Aaron furious.”

Originally, she didn’t want to target Andrew, the brother who loved her the most, but there was no other choice. Titus, Luca, and Aaron did not lend her luck, so she reluctantly turned to Andrew.

She wouldn’t ask for too much-just one-third for now.

Andrew didn’t care about this at all, nor did he think about anything else. He smiled and said, “It’s just luck; I-” He was about to say that he would give it to her but was suddenly interrupted by Luca.

Luca saw that Andrew was indeed a fool and had fallen for it. So, he quickly looked at Jodie and said, “Jo, why are you so tanned?” He noticed that Jodie’s tear-stained face was much darker than her usual complexion.

Andrew heard this and instinctively looked at Jodie.

Sure enough, Jo had become darker, and her skin had deteriorated a lot, but he didn’t say it directly

Instead, he tried to console her. “Maybe she got tanned while studying abroad. Her skin condition isn’t that good. Maybe it’s because she injured her hands and feet and didn’t sleep well.”

Jodie stiffened in Andrew’s arms.

Could these two men stop hurting her? Before coming downstairs, she had applied a thick layer of foundation to cover up her skin and the spots on her hands.

She had forgotten about it just now and cried so hard that her makeup had smudged. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

And

SO, she couldn’t wait any longer and said eagerly, “That’s why I feel so unlucky and want my brothers to give me some luck and comfort.

She looked up at Andrew, her eyes filled with expectation as she asked, “Andrew, are you willing?” Andrew nodded, about to speak.

However, at that moment, the etiquette teacher Salma had invited walked in.

She frowned and looked at Jodie. “What are you doing? Hugging and cuddling like this is not appropriate. Even a married couple does not embrace each other in public places like the living room.”

She sternly and seriously said to Jodie, “No wonder your mother asked me to come and teach you. Your behavior is inappropriate. People who know you might think you’re a wealthy heiress, but those who don’t know might think you’re a woman soliciting customers at the door.”

Salma had told her that she didn’t need to worry as long as she could teach Jodie well. She also mentioned that Jodie might lead Andrew and others to engage in some intimate actions.

If she saw that, the etiquette teacher had to sternly stop it, and any form of punishment would be acceptable, but she never expected it to become so intimate.

People like her valued etiquette and could not stand such improper behavior, so her words. became harsh.

The appearance of the etiquette teacher made Jodie quickly wriggle out of Andrew’s

embrace.

After listening to the other party’s words, Jodie was furious.

iler mood was already bad because this annoying woman interrupted something important.

And now, as Jodie was being addressed in such a manner, she grew angry. “What do you mean by a woman soliciting customers? Your words are too harsh!” she retorted.

Andrew chimed in, “Indeed, Jo is the heiress of the Gray Family. Your metaphor is too

offensive.”

The etiquette teacher’s expression turned serious. “You yourselves are not behaving properly, yet, you blame me for speaking harshly?” She walked over and picked up the ruler in her

and

hand.

“I was specifically hired by your mother to teach the young lady etiquette. Not only will I scold you for your improper behavior, but I will also punish you.” With a stern face, she instructed Jodie, “Extend your hand.”

Jodie felt like she was about to go insane.

Ever since Salma had hired this etiquette teacher a few days ago, Jodie’s life had turned into a nightmare.

Every day, the teacher would come and lecture her, expecting her to maintain the demeanor of a wealthy heiress.

It was driving her to the brink of madness.

She had tried to resist, but Salma had threatened to send her back to her original home if she didn’t learn properly.

Although Jodie loved and cherished her birth mother more, it didn’t mean she wanted to return to a home without money or influence.

Besides, she hadn’t even fulfilled her responsibilities, so how could she leave?

She had no choice but to endure it.

Little did she expect that this etiquette teacher would become even stricter.

“Do you wish to strike me?”

At that, the etiquette teacher commented, “No, just discipline. Extend your hand, and I will administer ten strikes with the ruler. Remember, you must not have any physical contact with any man outside.”

Jodie was at a loss for words. Are you from the medieval times or something?
