Signone was her biological daughter. She was a part of her, and Salma wanted to love her just
much as her other children.
However, due to Jodie’s previous instigation and insinuations, she had mistakenly believed that Simone was wild and unruly.
That was why she wanted to teach her a lesson and make her realize her mistakes.
In fact, when Simone left the Gray Residence, Salma still believed she was simply throwing a tantrum and would return.
But now, she wasn’t so sure solely because Simone’s actions since leaving home not only showed no intention of returning, but she also intentionally caused a rift with her brothers.
Salma had kept up with many clips of this livestream episode. She discovered that her

On the contrary, she was exceptional. Not only was she skilled in geomancy, but she also possessed many other talents and was fluent in foreign languages.
She was even more outstanding than the adoptive daughter that the Gray Family had carefully nurtured.
This made Salma proud but also left her feeling a bit uneasy, especially after learning that her adoptive daughter had conspired against her biological daughter and even personally cursed her. She felt even more uncomfortable.
She really wanted to see Simone and comfort her.
This trip to Slovance provided an opportunity for her.
When Simone saw Salma approaching, she was a bit surprised.
Salma actually came to Slovance for Jodie?! Such an endearing mother and daughter! Judging from how she’s walking toward me now, I can bet my boots that she’s here to find me.
Only. I wonder what her purpose is.

Could it be that she, like Andrea, came to question and blame me?
Since the camera crew turned off the live stream at the hotel to allow guests to relax and viewers to take a break, they weren’t following Simone at this moment.
Salme walked up to Simone and looked at her with gentle eyes. “Simone. I want to talk to
Simone also wanted to know why Salma had come.
If it was about Jodie, she would have no qualms about confronting her.

“Okay!” Zac and the others nodded and left first.
In the elevator, Keira curiously speculated. “Is that woman Simone’s biological mother? Otherwise, she couldn’t think of anyone who would come to find Simone at this period
Since he had seen Salma at a dinner party before. Zac nodded. “Yeah Shes her biological mother.”
This surprised the others.
“Do not tell me she’s here to blame Simone for bullying Jodie. Keira expressed her concern Zac laughed and said. “Do you think Simone would allow herself to get bullied?” Upon hearing that. Keira suddenly smiled. “You’re right Simone isn’t someone who would herself to get bullied. It is I who had gotten the wrong idea.”
She now somewhat understood Simone’s character
Simone will respond with even greater kindness if someone is kind to her
But if someone wants to cause trouble, she won’t show them respect and will settle the grudge on the
spot.
Harry also felt relieved after hearing what Zac said.
In the hotel’s lobby. Simone looked at Salma, who only showed this gentle and kind inale when she had just returned home.
Because of these moments, she later wanted to treat them well, thinking of them as her own family.
Yet, she never thought they would all believe Jodie and assume she was causing trouble under Jodie’s instigation, insinuation, and petty little tricks

Jove, Simone shook her head and turned her down. “There’s nothing for us to talk about
there’s something, just say it here. Otherwise, I will go back to my room and rest.”
She had no interest in having a heart–to–heart talk with Salma.
Il truth be told, she did hope for it when she first returned home in her previous life. But as time went on, her heart grew colder, and she no longer had any expectations.
Salna was taken aback, clearly not expecting Simone to refuse.
She furrowed her brows slightly and elaborated, “I just wanted you to accompany me for dinner. Is that not possible?” Simone looked at her with a half–smile. “Mrs. Gray, we’re not close enough to have dinner together.”
At once. Salma looked at her in disbelief. “I’m your Mom! How are we not close?” Simone you raised an eyebrow and said, “Didn’t we cut ties long ago? Have you aged so much that become so forgetful?” Salma felt a pang in her heart upon hearing these harsh words.
Then, she took a deep breath. “There’s no grudge between a mother and daughter that lasts overnight. We were misled by Jodie’s instigation and insinuation before, which resulted in misunderstandings between us. But now that we know it was a misunderstanding, we want to clear the air with you.”
Simone smiled indifferently and said, “There’s nothing to clear up. Since we’ve already cut our ties, it’s better not to have any further entanglements.”
After that, she bluntly added, “It’s totally unnecessary if you’re here to reconcile with me. I won’t take back my words and the decisions I’ve made. To me, you are merely a stranger now. As long as you don’t actively provoke and bother me, I will pay no attention to you either. But I will make you regret it if you do cause trouble. Just like your sons–I have dealt with each one of them, haven’t I?”
“By saying this, Mrs. Gray, you should be able to understand my attitude, right?” she asked, which caused Salma to feel embarrassed. “Are you really not going to acknowledge us?” Simone chuckled and said, “It’s not that I’m not going to. Instead, we are no longer related.”
Feeling aggrieved, Salma explained, “I admit we had misunderstood you because of Jodie. But I did treat you well, too!” Indeed, she truly wanted to make up for lost time when Simone finally recognized them again.
After all, she and Steven had five sons and only one daughter. Hence, they both treasured

re, à geomancy master told them that Jodie could assist them in locating their biological daughter.
However, their daughter was never found. As a result, Salma transferred all her maternal affection to Jodie.
Having been raised by the Gray Family for over a decade, Jodie had become obedient, sensible, and reliant on them.
When Simone returned to the Gray Residence, Jodie felt insecure and subtly hinted at a
mistreatment.
This led to their increased favoritism toward Jodie.
While Salma loved the adoptive daughter she had raised, she also held love for her biological daughter.
Simone sneered, “Yes, you did treat me well, but haven’t I already repaid you? Moreover, haven’t I paid an even greater price? Do you honestly believe that a small act of kindness can make me indebted to you for life?” She bluntly added, “Why are you so shameless?” She caught a fever not long after she returned to the Gray Residence.
After sending her to the hospital, Salma stayed by her side all night, showing genuine
concern.
At that time, Simone was touched, which prompted her to treat Salma with increasing kindness.
She prepared medicinal meals, provided massages, and reminded her to take her medicine daily.
However, she never expected such caring behavior to be short–lived and easily punctured when compared to Jodie.
