Chapter 176 Are You Sure It Was Simone?
Leon couldn’t help but glance at Jodie upon hearing her words. “It shouldn’t be like this; then how should it be?”
Jodie seemed a bit off.
She looked at him and said, “Obviously, it shouldn’t have been me who ended up like this.”
Leon frowned. Then who should have ended up like this?”
Jodie still had some sanity left and resisted the urge to curse Simone.
With teary eyes, she said, “As I was going down the stairs, I suddenly felt dizzy for no reason. The bracelet I was wearing suddenly broke, and I lost control and stepped on the red agate beads. So, I shouldn’t have fallen down the stairs; someone must have tampered with it.”
It is definitely Simone who does this.
She felt her luck being weakened again, and she was disfigured and broke her leg.
She was not going to let Simone get away with it.
Everyone in the live broadcast room knew that Simone practiced geomancy and mystical
arts.
She wanted everyone to know that Simone had harmed her behind her back. No one would dare to have any contact with Simone in the future, or else they could be manipulated at any
time.
Luca was stunned and asked, “Who tampered with it? When you fell down the stairs, I was right beside you. There was no one else!”
He thought Jodie was talking about someone pushing her.
This was exactly what Jodie wanted. “It wasn’t someone pushing me, but someone using unnatural means against me. Now I have a broken head and a broken leg, I can’t continue with the live broadcast, and I can’t stop her anymore. Why won’t she leave me alone? I really didn’t take anything from her!”
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face as if she had collapsed.
Although Jodie didn’t explicitly mention who it was, everyone present understood.
Luca asked in astonishment, “Are you saying that Simone did this to you?”
Only Simone among them would use unnatural means. And she had the biggest conflict with. Jo.
Jodie silently praised Luca in her heart. He had become smart now.
She naturally wouldn’t say it in front of everyone. After all, it was Luca who said it was Simone.
She bit her lip and said, “Luca, I feel so uncomfortable. The bracelet broke, and my face. started hurting again.”
This was not a lie. Her face started hurting again after the bracelet broke.
Now, her whole body was in pain, making her feel the urge to tear Simone apart.
She pretended to be scared again. “What should I do if she continues to do this to me?”
Luca couldn’t help but believe her when he saw her like this.
After all, Simone had used such means on Titus and Jo before, causing their faces and bodies to hurt.
He frowned even deeper. “Do you mean that she used unnatural means to distract you and make you fall down the stairs?”
Jodie didn’t directly answer. She looked at Luca, pretending to be pitiful. “Luca, I’m so scared. I’m scared that I’ll be disfigured, that my broken bones won’t heal. When do you think she will stop tormenting me?”
Luca was furious. “How could she do this?”
Jo did have some faults. But what Simone did was too much. A girl’s face was so important, and Jo’s previous injuries from the fall would definitely leave scars and disfigure her.
Jodie looked at Luca. Her eyes filled with dependence as she cried, “Luca, please make her stop, okay? I’m in so much pain. My face, my forehead, and my whole body hurt. I can’t take it anymore.”
This was the first time Luca had seen Jodie cry so pitifully and helplessly. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll go find her.”
After saying that angrily, he turned around and quickly walked out of the hospital room.
Even Aaron, who was still in a daze, couldn’t stop him in time.
He looked at Jodie with half–belief. “Are you sure it was Simone?” He always felt that Simone wasn’t that malicious.
Although she could be tricky, she would retaliate fiercely if someone provoked her. But she had never actively harmed anyone.
Moreover, Simone had the upper hand in both the previous and current episodes.
She had no reason to harm Jo like this.
Aaron’s skeptical gaze infuriated Jodie.
He actually didn’t believe her now.
Jodie thought, How can I respond to such a direct question? I’ve consistently avoided addressing it in front of Luca.
Leon looked at Jodie with suspicion. “Are you sure it was Simone?”
He also didn’t believe it was Simone. And even if it was Simone, she wouldn’t do it without a
reason.
If it was just to get back at Jodie, she wouldn’t have done something like this on live broadcast.
He knew Simone’s personality well.
After being asked again, Jodic couldn’t deliberately be vague anymore.
She bit her lip and said, “Then who else could it be? She had already tampered with me and Titus before, making my face hurt. The bracelet I wear on my hand is used to suppress this pain.”
She hinted again, “Who knows it would suddenly break, and then I…”
Leon thought for a moment and said, “We’ll know the truth after Luca asks her.”
Aaron also said, “Yes, let’s wait for Luca to ask.”
In his mind, he felt that Luca was too impulsive. They hadn’t fully grasped the facts yet. Despite that, Luca stormed off in anger to find Simone. This would only further exacerbate. the already tense relationship between the siblings.
He asked a staff member, “Can I use your phone to see what’s happening in another live stream room?”
He didn’t want to follow along and join the excitement. Otherwise, Simone might misunderstand and question what he was doing.
But he was very curious about the progress that would follow.
Leon felt the same way. “Yes. Please let us take a look.”
The staff member sought permission from Jonah.
“Jonah said it’s okay.”
There was a television in the ward, and the staff member turned it on.
By using the phone, they projected the live stream onto the television.
At that moment, Luca was just asking the production team about Simone’s whereabouts and was about to go there in the car provided by the team.
Jonah didn’t believe that Simone would harm someone for no reason.
He thought that it was Jodie who fell and couldn’t continue participating in the show. So, she intentionally blamed Simone.
Moreover, when Jodie had the accident, Simone was still waiting for the award ceremony. It was impossible for Simone to know that Jodie was walking down the stairs and tampering with her at that moment, considering the distance between them.
The audience watching the livestream was also perplexed.
of hers, began to express their a
Jodie’s fans, who were fervent supporters in the comments and live chat. They firmly believed that Simone was to blame.
On the other hand, upon witnessing Jodie’s pitiful state and hearing her tearful words, some people started to question the truth.
Consequently, an increasing number of viewers in the live stream room began to believe Jodie’s claims.
It was true that Simone possessed the ability to practice geomancy and mystical arts.
If Jodie’s predicament was indeed intentional, it seemed that Simone was the only one with the means and motive to carry it out.
After all, Simone and Jodie had always been at odds with each other due to family circumstances.
Jodie’s fans even infiltrated Simone’s livestream room, spreading malicious rumors and hurling insults.
The actions of these individuals left the audience in the live stream room bewildered.
Coincidentally, someone had uploaded a video of Jodie’s previous statements on the
internet.
Everyone rushed to watch it, indulging in the tantalizing gossip.
