Chapter 135 Just Wait and See
When Titus asked this, Harold smiled wryly.
“Do you think I want to take her with me? She is the spy that my father and that woman placed by my side. I can only keep her with me so that I can counterattack at any time.”
His gaze deepened as he added. ‘And I suspect that she herself also has issues. I can only feel at ease if she is kept under my watchful eyes.”
At that, Titus asked, “What kind of issues?”
Harold didn’t answer but asked in return, “Do you think there was something wrong between Jodie and those two masters today?”
Titus thought for a moment before saying, “She kept–asking me for blood, wanting me to choose to resolve it. I think there is something suspicious about that.”
He quickly reacted and questioned, “Are you suggesting that Jodie is connected to those two masters?”
Harold nodded. “There must be a connection.”
“Today, I felt that they were working together, targeting you and Simone. I was just an afterthought.”
His tone deepened as he continued, “Titus, remember one thing–never give your blood to geomancy masters. After giving it away, they can use your blood for curses, poisonous magic, and so on. This time, they want your blood, probably to deal with Simone. Of course, in the future, you might not be able to escape either.”
Titus was astonished and he asked, “You know so much?”
Harold thought for a moment and said, “I almost fell into their trap once, so I have some experience. It’s because we’re close, which is why I’m reminding you. Don’t tell Jodie about these things. Be cautious in general too. Don’t end up helping her after she stabbed you in the back. If it weren’t for me giving you a signal today, you would have definitely given your blood to someone else.”
It was also because the duo had a childhood friendship. Otherwise, Harold wouldn’t bother reminding Titus.
Meanwhile, Titus was speechless. I’m not that stupid.”
Harold sneered, “But you’ve done plenty of foolish things. Before, I thought Jodie was just a plaything kept by you and your brothers. Who would have thought that today I would see the

true colors of you two brothers and realize that you are the ones being played with, eh?”
Titus‘ expression darkened. “Shut it if you’re going to spew nonsense. You’re not any better. Even if you want to keep a spy close, if you like Gwen, just be together. Why bother stringing her along? It serves you right to get beaten.”
Harold sighed. “If I were to confirm my relationship with Gwen, I’m afraid she would be in danger and get implicated.”
Titus smirked. “I see you’re following in Leon’s footsteps.”
Harold raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
Titus bluntly replied. “You got dumped. What else could it mean?”
“Have you ever asked if the other person wants to accept your so–called good intentions or concerns?” He sneered, “Both you and Leon are the same. Now, you’re acting all lovey–dovey, but where were you before? I can’t stand it.”
“Simone and Gwen will definitely not want you guys anymore. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.
This time, Harold’s expression turned dark. “Scram! If you can’t speak properly, then shut up. Just drive the car.”
Titus then drove the car out. “You and Leon are just too self–righteous. Of course, I am too. So, I was taken advantage of by my foster sister and was messed up by my own sister. You guys can’t escape either.”
He sighed again. “We truly are brothers in adversity.”
“Send a message to Leon. Ask him to come out and drown his sorrows in alcohol. Stop pretending to be sentimental!”
Harold sighed. “Believe it or not, if you say that in front of him, he will beat you up.”
Titus suddenly remembered the incident when Leon hit him before. “D*mn! Are we even friends? I won’t call him, then.”
The two of them went straight to the club to drink.
In the cafe, Leon called Gwen.
Gwen answered the call impatiently, “What do you want?” Leon reminded her, “Mom is concerned about the antiques in your possession, so hide them well.”
Gwen was surprised. “Oh, so you’re not acting as her lackey today? I thought you were here to

ask me for something to give to Jodie.”
Leon frowned. “Don’t say such harsh words.”

He sighed again. I’ve also come to terms with it. Let Skyler enjoy that bit of motherly love on his own.”
Now he suddenly felt that his past self was very foolish and even more boring.
Gwen clicked her tongue twice. “You finally realized it. Don’t let Mom sweet–talk you later, and you end up licking her boots again.”
Leon rubbed his temples. “Can we still have a decent conversation?”
Gwen said, “No, we haven’t had a common tongue for a long time.”
She was about to hang up the phone. “Alright, I got it. Thank you for reminding me.”
However, Leon shouted, “Wait! Is Simone next to you? Can you put her on the line?” He looked through the photos of him and Simone when they were together, feeling nostalgic and longing for her.
Just being able to hear her voice now would be good enough.
Gwen was speechless. “Are you crazy? Simone is next to me.”
She then added. “But I won’t help you. And she wouldn’t want to hear your voice either, so please stop bothering her. Go look for Harold and Titus. You three are a bunch of lonely souls.”
Before Leon could say anything else, she hung up.
Leon was furious, his expression turning dark.
My sister is becoming more and more infuriating!
On the other hand, Jodie couldn’t wait for Salma’s mystical tool and called her again, this time more politely urging her.
But Salma never answered the phone.
Finally, she sent her a message, saying that she was called back to the Gray Family mansion and asked her to ask others first.
Jodie was already on the verge of collapsing, and when she saw this message, she even blamed Melinda.

She should have said that earlier!
In the end, she continued to seek help from Salma.
After a long time, Salma finally replied to Jodie’s message.
In fact, there was a geomancy tool in the Gray Family mansion that brought good luck.
But Steven had already warned Salma in advance that if his adopted daughter wanted to borrow it, she shouldn’t even consider going to the old mansion.
Salma was more inclined to heed Steven’s advice, especially since her biological daughter. Jodie, had recently broken up with her boyfriend.
Furthermore, Salma was unhappy with the close relationship between Jodie and her sons.
Therefore, she pretended to inform Jodie that she had inquired about it at the mansion, but they had refused to lend it, leaving her with no other options.
Jodie didn’t suspect anything. She knew that the elderly couple at the mansion never really liked her, so it was expected that they wouldn’t lend it to her.
After contemplating for a moment, she wondered if anyone else might have this item.
Suddenly, she recalled that Gwen had a collection of antiques, so there must be something that could serve as a mystical tool.
Moreover, Gwen was wearing a bracelet that even that person wanted Melinda to have, so it must be superior to the one from the old master.
With this in mind, she called Leon, hoping he could assist her.
However, every time she called, it was always busy, and when she sent a message, she discovered that she had been blocked.
Jodie was deeply hurt by this. She never expected Leon to treat her in such a manner.
She wanted to seek solace in Zac, but she also had feelings for Leon.
Now that he had dared to block her, she decided to complain to Melinda and ensure that he faced the consequences.
Unable to bear it any longer, Jodie finally sent a message to an unknown number.
Little did she know, her phone had already been hacked by Simone.
Every time she made a call or sent a message, Simone would receive a notification.
