Jonah had already spoken to the cameraman beforehand, so when Simone appeared, the cameraman continued to focus on Zac and the others without turning the camera towards her.

As Simone approached Jonah, he asked in a low voice, “Are you Aaron’s cousin?”

Simone immediately realized that the online rumors had been fueled by the despicable efforts of Sembag No. 2 and the hired trolls.

Shaking her head, she replied, “No.”

Jonah understood that someone had paid internet trolls to slander Simone. He informed her about the trending topics circulating online, cautioning her, “The trending topics online are solidifying the false narrative against you. It’s not in your favor. You should think of a way to address this. Once the show ends tomorrow and you’re back, we’ll find a way to clear things up.”

He added, “If necessary. I can help you take down the trending topics.”

Seeing the worry in Jonah’s eyes, Simone felt touched. Not everyone was like the Gray Family or Leon.

Thank you, Jonah, for your concern, but there’s no need to take down the trending topics,” Simone assured him. “Let the rumors spread; the more they talk, the better.”

Simone didn’t explicitly confirm anything on the livestream, and she even let Jodie change the subject. She was sure that Titus wouldn’t sit idly by and would try to stir up trouble, which he did. She deliberately allowed them to continue spreading rumors. Relying solely on the popularity of the variety show wouldn’t be enough

The trending topies from the past two days had caused quite a stir, making things known throughout the entire internet.

When the truth was revealed, that’s when things would get even more interesting.

Seeing Simone in this state. Jonah realized he was worrying too much.

He chuckled. “It seems like you planned this intentionally”

Since Simone wanted the tuation to escalate, he decided to let it be for now. He lowered his voice and asked. “Can you reveal your relationship with Aaron? It will help me prepare for the next episode. Of course, I won’t tell anyone until you’re ready to reveal it yourself

Jonah had always been curious about the true relationship between Simone and the siblings. He wanted to get a taste of this juicy piece of gossip.

Simone didn’t hold back and replied, “We’re biological siblings.”

Jonah’s eyes widened in shock. “Biological siblings? So, you and Jodie are also biological sisters?”

Upon closer reflection. Simone did bear a resemblance to Aaron, but not so much to Jodie. If they were real sisters, with such a public spat on the live broadcast, their private relationship must be very

strained.

Simone shook her head. “She’s adopted while I’m biological. My ex–family favors her more than me, though. They hate me.”

Jonah was once again taken aback. The revelation was even juicier than expected.

“Your family prefers your adopted sister over you, their biological daughter?” He couldn’t fathom it What do you mean by ex–family:

There seemed to be more to the story.

Simone didn’t mince words when it came to the Gray Family and Aaron. She briefly explained her background, “When I was a child. Aaron lost me, and then, before coming on the show, I had already cut ties with them

Jonah listened, processed the information, and nearly let out a curse. “Aaron is truly something else”

It wasn’t hard to see why Simone, with her normally good–natured demeanor, treated Aaron so poorly. Losing a biological sister. only to favor an adopted one upon her return–what kind of logic was that? Doesn’t he feel any guilt in his heart? Doen: he want to make amends for his mistakes?

“You did well to cut ties with them.” Jonah commented, clearly frustrated with Aaron and the Gray Family’s behavior. The Gray Family’s members were no better. They found their biological daughter. only to intentionally let their adopted daughter trample all over her. Something’s seriously wrong with

them.

Simone observed Jonah’s reaction and felt reassured. Most people would probably react like him and be unable to fathom such a situation. She was looking forward to what Aaron and Jodie would face when the truth came out.

“So, since they showed no mercy, they can’t blame me for being ruthless later. Simone stated matter- of–factly. She was mentally preparing Jonah, making it clear that she wouldn’t back down.

After this episode of the show ended, it would be her turn to stir the pot.

Jonah nodded in agreement and support. “You must fight back

If they continued to endure without retaliating, those people would only become more audacious.

He added. “If you need any help, feel free to let me know!

Simone thought for a moment and whispered. “If you want higher viewership for the next episode, focus the camera more on the interactions between Aaron and his sister

Jodie would probably seek comfort from Aaron later after what happened today

Jonah, being astute, immediately understood. He had noticed the physical closeness between Aaron and Jodie before, but he hadn’t thought much of it, thinking it was because they were biological siblings. Now, knowing they weren’t actually blood–related, he realized it was indeed excessively

intimate.

If they captured footage of the siblings hugging or being unusually close, it would be difficult for viewers not to speculate. Once the true nature of their relationship was exposed, more people would eagerly watch the replay and anticipate the next livestream.

Naturally, the trending topics would be dominated by the revelation about Aaron and his sister.

Jonah found Simone cunning, but he liked it. After all, she had been labeled an “ungrateful b*tch” and a “leech” due to the distorted rumors, which were now trending.

He gave Simone a thumbs–up. “Feel free to reach out if you need anything.”

After all, he was grateful to Simone for saving his wife. Beyond gratitude, Simone’s exceptional knowledge of geomancy and her various abilities made her someone worth befriending on a deeper

level.

Simone nodded in acknowledgment. “Alright.”

The two parted ways, and Simone joined the others at the entrance of the courtyard. As she approached, the child that Ross was holding reached out to Simone instead. “Hug me!”

This left Ross speechless. The ungrateful little rascal was willing to abandon his own father at the sight of a pretty lady. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Ross addressed the child, his face stern. “Young man, she’s a girl. You’re a bit too heavy for her to hold all the time.

The child considered this and looked at Simone. Then… I won’t ask her to hold me.”

He then extended his tiny hand. “Let’s hold hands instead.”

Simone had a fondness for children. She reached out and took the child’s small hand. “Alright, let’s hold hands.

Ross‘ wife had intentionally gone to town to buy groceries in the afternoon. Now, she had prepared a table full of dishes, and her mother–in–law had also cooked several of her signature dishes to express gratitude to Simone.

The entire family warmly welcomed Simone.

“I have placed the talisman around his neck. Once the negative energy is expelled from his body, this talisman will continue to serve as a protective charm.”

Upon seeing the talisman hanging around the child’s neck, everyone felt inexplicably reassured.

“Thank you, Miss Gray. We are truly grateful. Ross raised his cup, standing up. “Let’s make a toast. I will have an alcoholic beverage, and you can have a non–alcoholic one.”

Simone raised her paper cup. “No need to be so formal”

As they chatted and enjoyed their meal. little did they know that the geomancer who had been observing Simone create the talisman had recorded a video and shared it in a geomancy group.

It was like a bomb had exploded in the group.
