Chapter 188 Thank You, Then?
Simone noticed Ernest’s suspicion, but she didn’t offer an explanation. With an indifferent smile, she said, “It’s up to you to believe it or not.”
She simply wanted to give it a try.
At the same time, she wanted to confirm her own judgment.
This guy knew that he and Jodie didn’t share the same mother, but he didn’t know who their real mother was.
Their father was skilled in dealing with women, allowing one woman to raise another woman’s child.
Simone had seen Melinda before and hadn’t found any signs of her being cursed or bewitched.
This indicated that these women were willing participants.
However, just because the women didn’t have anything strange on them didn’t mean the man didn’t have anything strange.
Ernest couldn’t determine whether Simone had genuinely noticed it or was merely pretending with her indifferent demeanor.
“You’re quite capable, knowing that I can sense the aura on their identification cards and. make them block me in the stairwell.”
He looked at Simone again and asked, “Was it a guess or a calculation?” He continued to observe her eyes and face for any revealing expressions.
Simone was momentarily stunned, then glanced at Skyler and Sean, raising an eyebrow. “You guys told him in such detail?”
Sean looked at Skyler, confirming that Skyler had indeed said those things to Ernest.
Skyler remained calm and smiled slightly, saying to Simone, “I just wanted him to know that you’re very capable. If he wants to make a move on you or plot against you, he’s asking for trouble.
He emphasized, “And let him know that you’re the nemesis of his siblings.”
Simone looked deeply at Skyler and said, “Thank you, then?” She didn’t believe that this did it unintentionally.

She could somewhat guess his intentions.
He leaked her information to Ernest, allowing the latter to pass
it on.
Skyler might be trying to save himself and use her to deal with the people behind him.
Of course, there was also the possibility that he and Ernest were working together.
Skyler still smiled calmly. “There’s no need to be so polite!”
Simone noticed that this guy did not feel an ounce of embarrassment. Knowing that it was about time, she yawned and murmured, “I’m tired. I’m going back.”
Ernest realized that he had successfully intercepted most of the aura.
If Simone left now, all his efforts would be in vain.
So, he looked at Simone and said, “Don’t you want to know why I want to deal with you?”
Simone looked at him meaningfully, “No.”
The man was at a loss for words. He felt that this woman was doing it on purpose. What a cunning woman! He wanted to speak and delay the time, but Simone ignored him.
She got up and greeted Skyler and Sean. “I’m leaving, then. Goodbye!”
Skyler also stood up and said, “I’ll walk you out.”
With a dry smile, Simone didn’t refuse the offer. “Okay!”
The two of them walked out of the room, and Skyler closed the door.
As they walked through the living room towards the front door, Skyler leaned close to Simone’s ear and whispered, “I have no ill intentions toward you.”
Simone looked at him with a smile that wasn’t really there. “Do you think I would believe that?”
Skyler shrugged helplessly. “If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”
He lowered his voice again and said, “We should collaborate if there’s an opportunity.”
Simone smiled. “Let’s talk about it another time.”
She told the two of them how to catch Ernest without worrying about Ernest or the people behind him finding out. /

They were already on the chessboard, and it was impossible to hide forever.
Occasionally showing their might, making the other party wary, and taking the initiative. again wouldn’t be bad.
Skyler opened the door and saw her off. “Goodnight!”
Simone waved her hand. “Goodnight!”
After she left, she saw Leon leaning against the wall, waiting for her.
Simone glanced at him and then looked away, walking toward her own room.
Leon watched her back, his eyes filled with pain.
Skyler also noticed Leon and felt a headache coming on.
The crew members were probably still on their way
He spoke first, “Wait here. Someone will come to pick you up soon.”
Leon’s eyes lit up. “Did Simone contact you?”
Seeing his expression, Skyler sighed. “I got the director’s phone number from her.”
The light in Leon’s eyes instantly dimmed.
Skyler continued, “Leon, your fate with Simone is over. Stop bothering her.”
From the aura between Leon and Simone, it was clear that they repelled each other. It meant that she would never forgive him and reconcile with him.
Leon looked at Skyler coldly. “Why did you get close to Simone? I’ve given up. I won’t compete with you for the Foster Family anymore. Won’t you let me go?”
Leon had wanted to get close to this big brother when they were younger, but the other deliberately kept their distance from him and maintained a gap between them.
Coupled with their mother’s biased favoritism, it made Leon both envious and resentful of this big brother of his, but there was no jealousy or hatred..
After all, they were biological brothers, and he had never thought of going against Skyler… except that he couldn’t accept Skyler reaching out to Simone.
Skyler looked helpless. “I have never done anything to harm you, so why would I need to let you go? Simone and I only have a working relationship. It’s not as complicated as you think. I can’t possibly make a move on my younger brother’s ex–girlfriend, whom he still has feelings
for. I still have some sense of shame, you know?”
Skyler didn’t even know if he could survive now. Love and romance were the last things ont his mind.
“I have something to do, so I won’t invite you in.”
Since Ernest was still inside, he naturally couldn’t ask Leon in, fearing that there might be some issues.
Leon knew Skyler’s temperament. Since he was so certain that he wouldn’t make a move on Simone, then he probably wouldn’t.
He asked somewhat dejectedly, “Do you think I deserve this?”
Skyler walked over and patted his shoulder. “Since you already know, why bother entangling yourself further? Doing this will only make her dislike you more. Just go your separate ways from now on.”
Simone was an important target for those people.,
Since Leon had already cut ties with her, it would be best not to get involved.
Leon clenched his fists, “I want to, but I can’t.” After all, that was the girl he had grown up with and protected since they were young.
In the end, Skyler didn’t know what else to say.
He could only offer some words of comfort. “Just let things unfold naturally. Sometimes, loving someone doesn’t mean you have to possess them.”
It was really difficult for him, a single person who had never experienced love, to console hist heartbroken younger brother.
Upon hearing this, Leon seemed lost in thought.
He softly repeated those words.
After a moment, he looked at Skyler and said, “I understand.”
Skyler was a bit confused. What do you understand?
Leon then said, “I’m leaving.”
After saying that, he actually left, but he appeared lonely and isolated from his retreating figure.
Skyler shook his head. If he had known this would happen today, why did he do it in the first place?
In the end, he also went back to his room.
When Sean saw Skyler enter, she said, “You stay here. I’m going to take a shower.”
Skyler nodded, “Okay!”
After Sean left, Ernest looked at Skyler with a questioning gaze. “Do you know Simone’s true strength?”
The elegant smile on Skyler’s face had vanished. “If even a formidable evil cultivator like you can’t figure it out, how would I know?”
Ernest suddenly asked, “What do you think of Jodie?”
