Chapter 223 You Guys Really Have Some Self-Awareness

Leon’s entire understanding was upended when he discovered his own mother’s involvement in suchan act.

With a complicated expression, he questioned, “Does Dad know about this?”

Gwen arched her eyebrows and retorted, “Dad is far more astute than you.”

It was evident she avoided discussing their father’s affairs, anxious that her naive brother mightaccidentally divulge their father’s secrets.

Despite dropping such blatant hints, and their brother should not repeat foolish errors, caution was thekey.

Simone added, “His situation is actually grimmer than yours. He’s the medium siphoning your family’sluck. Initially fated for a short life, he now faces an uncertain future and endures the toll of being amedium intermittently. That level of agony isn’t bearable for an ordinary person.”

Consequently, Skyler aimed to take charge and fight for his own life.

Tina, too, was unwilling to be manipulated and become the exploited one. She needed to discover ameans to break free from this situation. Once the situation was shattered, they could evade the fateorchestrated by that individual and live life on their own terms.

Individuals like Skyler and Tina yearned to steer their destinies.

Conversely, there existed individuals like Jodie and Freya.

Their mindset pondered. Why not appropriate someone else’s luck to enhance our own lives? They didnot aspire to lead ordinary lives with average luck and chased power, wealth, and status.

As they were reluctant to settle for mediocrity yet unready to put in the effort, they could only acquirewithout toiling diligently.

They followed paths meticulously calculated and arranged by those behind them.

Jodie and Freya’s greed, selfishness, and cruelty were in full swing. Hence, they willingly becamepawns in the hands of those manipulating them. Alternatively, the pair could have entirely attempted tobreak free from fate and refrained from causing harm to others for their personal gain.

Ultimately, Jodie and Freya would not meet their end by not stealing Simone and Gwen’s

luck

It all boiled down to their own decisions.

At that moment, Leon’s heart brimmed with conflicting emotions, so he inquired, “Is there still a way torescue him?”

He did not harbor animosity toward Skyler and even sympathized with him.

It became apparent how terrifying his mother’s favoritism was.

She was driving her own son toward a dead end! Whether she was aware of these circumstancesremained unclear.

Simone remarked, “It depends on him.”

If Skyler aimed to salvage himself and break free from this predicament, there was still a chance,provided he had not committed any wrongdoing before.

Should everyone unite and collaborate, hope persisted.

However, hope was futile if he aided the individual in manipulating him to commit malevolent acts.

“Accumulate good deeds, or karma won’t spare you.” She glanced at Titus and added, “The hardshipsyou face now stem from your own past actions. Don’t attribute everything to Jodie and me.”

Had he not aided those two in bullying Fiona, Simone would not have had the leverage to retaliateagainst him.

He would not have faced expulsion from the company, now grappling with the repercussions alone.

Touching his nose, Titus remarked, “I’m not placing blame solely on you guys.”

Acknowledging his numerous past wrongdoings, he could not help but inquire, “Is there still a chancefor me to change and seek redemption?” Previously skeptical about karma, firsthand experiencealtered his belief.

Simone replied, “You haven’t taken a life or caused someone’s death, so there’s room for change. Startanew, endeavor to make amends with those you’ve hurt, and engage in more benevolent actions.”

He comprehended, saying, “I understand.”

Harold patted Titus’ shoulder and remarked, “Mate striving for positive change is crucial for you. Beinga bad person might come naturally, but being good can be challenging.”

Leon chimed in, “Given his history of misdeeds, altering for the better is indeed an uphill battle for him.”

Engaging in benevolent acts came effortlessly to Titus as he was not lacking in wealth. Hewholeheartedly donated yearly or went out of his way to assist others..

His expression darkened. “Get lost.” What kind of friends are they? Portraying me as despicable and

evil.

He sneered. “Do you believe you were a better person than me? Don’t forget we were childhoodfriends.” Gwen clapped in agreement. You’re absolutely right.”

Simone interjected, “You guys really have some self-awareness! Titus and the other two were leftspeechless. This supposed brotherhood and deceptive opposition are equally matched.

Once again, they found themselves embarrassed in front of Simone and Gwen.

Titus glared at Harold and Leon. “You two, keep quiet. I have something to say.”

He turned to ask Simone, “So, how do we get rid of Jodie?” Once doting on Jodie, he found herrepulsive.

Simone arched an eyebrow. “How would I know how you guys can get rid of Jodie? Figure it outyourselves.”

All she could do was offer a reminder.

In situations requiring cooperation, she would collaborate. However, she could not be bothered if it wasnot necessary, and she certainly would not offer such advice.

Should Simone propose expelling Jodie from the Gray Family? Suggesting this might lead to futureblame for meddling in their affairs.

Worse, they might perceive Simone as caring too much about them. Moreover, allowing them toexperience Jodie’s harm firsthand seemed more beneficial

Sembag No 2. Sc*mbag No. 3, and Sc’mbag No. 5, have you guys finally come to your senses?

Titus struggled for words, contemplating how to enlighten himself. However, he sensed Simone’scontinued reluctance to engage with them

Deding not to delve deeper, he refrained from poiling the atmosphere

Be inquired “May I share today’s discussion with the others at home?

Simone pondered belly before responding “Your car inform Mr. Steven Luca, and Aaron

Both had already discerned that Jodie was not as innocent as she appeared.

It was wise to inform them.

Otherwise, they might be caught off guard and fall prey to Jodie’s tricks.

Simone continued, “However, let’s keep this from the others for now.”

Steven maintained rationality regarding Jodie and would not be swayed by her. Salma, Sc*mbag No. 1,and Sc*mbag No. 4 had not directly experienced Jodie’s attacks and schemes.

Thus, it was probable they still held affection for Jodie.

Simone stressed, “Especially Andrew. Please don’t inform him. Trust me, he’ll go straight to Jodie.”

Andrew remained unaware.

Titus concurred, “I agree. Andrew’s capable of such imprudent actions.”

Otherwise, Andrew would not have provoked his mother to the extent she ended up hospitalizedabroad because of Jodie.

Titus remained conflicted. “But if we keep him in the dark, he might fall into Jodie’s trap.”

While playful pranks among brothers were normal and even beneficial for mental and physical health,watching his younger brother fall into a perilous situation was not something he could tolerate.

Simone countered, “Will he not be manipulated by Jodie if you tell? If he were truly smart and rational,he wouldn’t have made a foolish mistake abroad. I heard he plans to join Jodie on the next varietyshow. Instead of stopping him, let him experience being deceived. Perhaps he’ll realize his mistake onhis own. Luca will be betrayed by Jodie on this season’s show. It seems like Jodie is facingconsequences now, right?”

She thoughtfully added, “Pain only registers when it’s felt firsthand, so it’s best to let him experience ithimself. Don’t worry. Your safety won’t be jeopardized until your luck completely runs out.”
