Forgive Us, My Dear Sister

Chapter 272

Chapter 272 Can You Please Spare Me?

Zac was deeply distressed as he listened to this recording, his heart almost breaking. He had known

beforehand that Simone had been treated unfairly within the Gray Family, but he never expected it to

be this dire.

He was devastated. As a result, he glared at Andrew and Aaron. “Are you even human? Forget about

being her brothers; even strangers wouldn’t be so cruel.” He looked at Andrew sarcastically. “Have all

the books you’ve read over the years gone to waste? Simone fought for the spot herself from Jonah,

but Jodie insisted it was hers. The whole family pressured Simone to give up her spot. Otherwise, it’s

stealing from Jodie. I’ve never heard of such a twisted theory before. And isn’t Simone the rightful

heiress of the Gray Family? Your implication is as if Simone is the adopted daughter, trying to steal the

position of the biological daughter. If that’s the case, why did your family take Simone back? To

acknowledge her and use her as a companion for the adopted daughter, to step on her? All of you have

such malicious intentions. Simone has had-terrible luck to have a family like you.”

Then, he coldly looked at Aaron. “And you. You lost Simone in the first place, yet you

dare to ask Simone to give up her spot for Jodie, colluding with others to suppress Simone and snatch

her resources! And you have the nerve to say she’s being resentful. As she should! If it weren’t for

meeting her master after being abducted by traffickers, she would’ve been sold off to the mountain as a

child bride. How dare you say she’s resentful, using this as an excuse to compete with Jodie for a

favor?”

He angrily continued, “Does Simone even care about Jodie’s so-called favor? She only gave way to

you guys because she once cared about you.” He questioned again, “Think about how much she’s

done for you guys. Don’t you appreciate it? I’ve heard of many things, like her making medicinal meals

for every member of the Gray Family. Luca often had a sore throat, so she

spent over half a year making a throat lozenge that not only soothes but also relieves pain. But during

his last appearance, he unreasonably accused her. I’m afraid those throat lozenges were all wasted.

“Simone accompanied you to practice dancing and was caught by the paparazzi. She was so badly

criticized by your fans, but you, as her brother who lost her, hid and refrained from explaining.

Afterward, you were also photographed having dinner alone with Jodie. As soon as she was criticized,

you immediately stepped forward to clarify the situation.

“This is what we know, but there are still many things we don’t know, right? Simone has everything to

every one of you. She wanted to cherish this hard-won family relationship. But what did that get her? Is

this how you repay her and her efforts? Your so-called compensation is cold violence, suppression,

punishment, and even turning the tables by accusing her of stealing from Jodie.

“You forced her to the point where she couldn’t stay in the family anymore, and she had to cut ties with

you to protect what she fought for.” Then, he continued, “But I’ve also figured something out.

“Whether it’s before or this recording, it all shows one thing. For the sake of Jodie, you Grays can

distort the truth, bully Simone without any reason, and even enjoy gaslighting her. It’s ironic because it Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

was Jodie who wanted to take Simone’s spot. But in your narrative, it became the other way round.”

He deliberately looked at Jonah and asked, “Jonah, were you the one who initially chose Simone as

the regular guest on this show?”

Jonah was initially quite excited and thrilled because of the recording, but after listening to it, he felt a

bit bitter in his heart. Thus, he did not avoid the question at this moment. Instead, he truthfully

answered, “Yes, everyone knows that Simone is a geomancy master. Before the variety show, she

saved my wife. At that time, this show hadn’t been confirmed, and she didn’t ask for any repayment

from me. After it was, I took the initiative to contact her and invited her to be a regular guest because I

wanted to repay this favor.

“As for Jodie, it was her manager, Titus, who came to me with her and Aaron. They said Aaron could

participate in our show without payment. But there was one condition, which was to bring their sister

along. Since Aaron is a popular star, I naturally couldn’t refuse and had agreed.” He did not exaggerate

but simply stated the facts.

Zac said, “Thank you, Jonah, for clarifying things. Then, he looked at Andrew and said, “I just want to

ask. How did Simone precisely snatch Jodie’s spot and resources? Please clarify for everyone.

Otherwise, we won’t understand the logic behind this.”

Andrew’s face turned pale, then red, a mix of embarrassment and anger. Being questioned like this by

Zac, he opened his mouth but did not know what to say. He had spoken without thinking earlier,

impulsively bringing up what they once believed. He intended to ask Simone to stop targeting Jodie

and let her off in this show.

Who would have thought that Simone would release the recording of their conversation from that day?

After listening to the recording, along with Jonah’s words, he could not find any words to retort.

Zac sneered. “What’s the matter? Cat’s got your tongue? You were quite eloquent when you asked

Simone to spare Jodie earlier, weren’t you? Simone was the one who wanted you to spare her.

“From beginning to end, it was you who provoked and accused first, yet you dare to say that Simone

didn’t spare her. In the first episode, Aaron immediately said Simone was wrong and asked her not to

bully Jodie. In the second episode, before the live broadcast started, Luca also angrily confronted

Simone in front of everyone. He accused her because Jodie asked her not to go too far. And now, in

this episode, you’re doing the same thing, immediately shifting the blame onto Simone

“If Simone didn’t have the recording as evidence, she would’ve been wrongfully accused of bullying

and stealing Jode’s resources”

He glanced at Andrew and Aaron. “Did Simone step on your toes or something? Why do you guys hold

some deep grudge against her? Why are you treating her like this?”

At that moment, Simone looked at the brothers and echoed. “That’s what I’d like to know, too. How

strong is your grudge against me that you keep cornering me with every chance you get? You defend

Jodie and come after me for attention. Did I offend you? Did I provoke you? Just like before, our

relationship was already strained; we had already fallen out. I don’t want to pretend and put on a show

for the audience. Now, it’s my fault that I’m impolite”

She appeared helpless and emphasized, “Can I also say, spare me, please? Can’t we have no

connection or involvement? Can’t we just be strangers?”

This time, Zac truly aided her by highlighting all the crucial points from the recording and questioning

them in return.
