Chapter 206 Arrived Just in Time
After completing their duties for a tourist group, Aaron and his team received their payment for translation services,
Aaron turned to Leon and Tina, suggesting. “Shall we call it a day and go for afternoon tea?” Leon and Tina were somewhat puzzled “Afternoon tea?” Uninterested, they were prepared to decline when Aaron deliberately piqued their interest by saying, “I heard that Simone and the others went to a specialty restaurant for afternoon tea, so Luca and I also want to try it
out.
Upon hearing that Simone and her friends were there, Leon and Tina instantly changed their minds and agreed. “Sure! Let’s go and try it out.”
Tina even smiled and proposed, “We have enough money for afternoon tea if we have a simple dinner tonight and continue staying at the hotel we stayed at last night.”
“Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go,” Leon exclaimed.
Another day, another chance for them to see Simone.
Hence, the four of them hailed a cab and headed to the restaurant.
When they arrived downstairs, Andrew happened to come upstairs. As soon as he entered, he noticed Simone sitting with a group of people, laughing and talking.
As a well–known emerging director, Andrew didn’t want to be caught on live camera.
Therefore, he contacted Jonah and asked him to request the staff to bring Simone over.
Even though Jonah agreed to make the request, he wouldn’t force Simone if she was unwilling to
Afterward, a female staff member approached Simone and whispered something in her ear.
Simone looked up, glanced toward the entrance, and saw Andrew standing there, acting affectedly.
He even took the initiative and waved at her after noticing her gaze.
Simone wasn’t surprised that Andrew showed up.
Among the Gray Brothers, Andrew is the one who dotes on Jodie the most.
He, too, was the one who picked on me the most because of Jodie when I was still acquainted with the Cray Family in the past.

Since Sembag No. 4 has come to find me. I will make him regret it.
Simone approached Andrew and asked coldly. “What do you want with me?” Andrew found Simone’s cold attitude distasteful.
When we lived together in the past, this biological sister of mine gave me the cold shoulder after I lectured her for bullying Jo.
For others, she would prepare medicinal meals, specifically make throat lozenges, and express her concern for their well–being.
But when it came to me, it was merely having medicinal meals with others.
I even had to consider her mood when I asked for a massage.
At first, in an attempt to improve our relationship, I asked her to apply her geomancy knowledge and help me determine the best date to start my movie filming.
But in the end, we argued due to Jo’s situation and parted ways unhappily.
Our relationship had become increasingly strained since then.
“I just want to ask. Why did you treat Jo-” However, Aaron, who rushed over, interrupted before he could finish his sentence.
Aaron swiftly approached Andrew and asked, “Andrew, what are you doing here?”
Meanwhile, Andrew looked at him with a puzzled expression. Didn’t we just talk on the phone? Just as he was about to speak, Aaron put his arm around his shoulder and added, “It’s been a while since we last met. Come on. Let’s go somewhere and talk.
Then, he smiled at Simone. “Please continue with what you’re doing. We won’t bother you.”
Andrew still wanted to say something, but Aaron forcefully dragged him away by the shoulder.
Since Aaron had entered the building first, the cameraman filming the livestream was still behind.

For Simone, she curled her lips when she saw Aaron dragging Andrew away.
varen zure arrived just in time.
Well it doesn’t matter. I have plenty of opportunities in the future to deal with Sc*mbag No. 4.
For that reason, Simone didn’t mind and returned to her original seat.
Andrew, who got dragged to a corner, shook off Aaron.
Looking displeased, he asked, “What are you doing?” Instead of answering him, Aaron pulled Andrew to hide behind a large pot of green plants.
Not only did they avoid Simone and the livestream camera, but they also avoided the cameraman who had just entered.
I’m here to stop you, of course, he whispered.
Andrew was speechless. “Why would you stop me? Are you out of your mind?” Aaron gave him a disdainful look. It’s you who’s out of your mind. Dad asked me to come.”
After hearing what he said, Andrew was shocked. “Dad asked you to come? For real?”
“Well, duh! Do you think I would make up rumors about Dad? And it’s not just Dad; Mom is here as well. They should be landing soon.”
Salma had called Aaron before boarding the plane.
Andrew’s expression changed. “How did Mom and Dad know that I’m here?” Then, he looked at Aaron with suspicion. “Did you and Luca betray me?” Aaron confidently replied, “Of course
NOL
Ha! There is no way I’m going to admit it.
“You went on a vacation to relax the moment Jo got injured and hospitalized. With such coincidental timing, do you seriously think Dad couldn’t figure it out? He even guessed that you would come to bother Simone. So, he instructed me and Luca to come and stop you, no matter what.
Andrew’s expression turned somewhat ghastly. “Dad is quite good at guessing”
Then, he asked, “And Mom? Why is she coming?” Aaron replied, ‘She’s here to bring Jou
and look after her.”

He pulled Andrew and continued, “Let’s go. I’ll take you downstairs. You go to the airport to. pick up Mom and then take her to the hospital to see Jo
was just his younger brother trying to stop him, Andrew would undoubtedly ignore him
and continue to look for Simone.
But because of his parents, he had to dismiss this idea temporarily.
Andrew figured that if he couldn’t talk to her this time, he could always talk to Simone the next time he appeared on the variety show.
Therefore, he followed Aaron downstairs and was pushed into the car by him.
Seeing Andrew leave, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, this guy is gone.
It’s too early for him to face Simone’s wrath now. He should experience it in the next episode of the
pariety show
Judging by how mischievous Andrew is, he probably will suffer even worse than Luca.
Aaron returned upstairs and saw Tina had gone to Simone’s table.
Sitting beside Simone, she looked like an adoring fan who was favored by Simone.
Meanwhile, Leon and Luca, each holding a cup of coffee, glanced over with a hint of resentment in their eyes.
Aaron walked over and sat down. Then, he nodded at Luca, indicating that he had cared for
Andrew.
Just like that, the three of them sat there and sipped their coffee while stealing glances at the
other table.
As they listened to their conversation and laughter, they instantly felt a twinge of envy.
On the other side, Andrew went to the airport and was greeted by Steven’s assistant.
They waited for a while, and Salma emerged with her personal assistant.

red his greeting,
Then, the four of them proceeded to the hospital. In the car, Salma remained silent, which made Andrew anxious.
Once they arrived at the hospital, Jodie immediately put on a pitiful expression upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open.
But when she saw who entered, her expression froze.
What’s my adoptive mother doing here in person? And why is my adoptive father’s assistant accompanying her? Despite thinking of these, Jodie immediately put on a cute and surprised smile. “Mom, why are you here?” Compared to before, Salma’s attitude toward Jodie had become much colder.
She replied, “I heard that you were injured, so I came to bring you back to Corynthea for recovery.”
With a hint of authority, she continued, “It’s too late today. I’ve arranged for the flight tickets tomorrow. We’ll go back together.”
Even though Jodie didn’t really want to go back, she didn’t dare to refuse.
Hence, she could only pretend to be happy and grateful. “Mom, you’re so kind to me. You even specially made this trip to pick me up. I’m so lucky.”
In the past, Salma would have felt sweet and happy upon hearing such words,
But now, she couldn’t feel happy, no matter what.
Still, she forced a smile and said, “I have raised you. Of course, I care about you.”
After spending some time in the ward, Salma claimed to be tired from the journey and returned to the hotel to rest.
She also insisted on taking Andrew with her, leaving only her personal assistant to take care of Jodie.
Simone and the others moved to a different luxury hotel today.
After asking someone to inquire about this information, Salma asked Steven’s assistant to book the same hotel for her.
She specifically even watched the livestream and waited on the lobby couch several minutes. before Simone and the others returned to the hotel.

When she saw Simone and the others enter, Salma adjusted her facial expression to appear friendly and approachable.
Then, she stood up and walked toward Simone
