Chapter 229 Is He More Like A Scapegoat?
Jodie’s sudden, seemingly joking words startled Titus, Luca, and Aaron. Titus also understood why Jodie had previously set the stage and emphasized how unlucky she had been recently. He pretended to be stunned and smiled inexplicably. “My luck is different from yours. Take it; being unlucky won’t do you any good.”
Jodie laughed and said, “Maybe it will be useful. She spoke with a hint of playfulness. “Titus, since you have such good luck, share some with me. Give me some psychological comfort, and maybe I won’t be so unlucky afterward.”
Titus was about to go crazy. Why did Jodie choose him instead of Andrew to take advantage of his good luck? Shouldn’t she be looking for Andrew? Was he more like a scapegoat? He became wary in his heart, and the surprise on his face grew stronger.
He even pointed at himself and uttered, “Do I look like I have such good luck? Jodie, how did you figure that out? I can’t even keep my job lately. I was fired by the company to appease angry netizens, and the stars I managed were given to other agents.” He sighed. “I was hoping to borrow some good luck from someone.”
Simone was right. Jodie was thinking about their luck. Now, she was asking him for luck. Could it be that his luck had reached the point where it could be exploited? But he felt that he had been quite unlucky recently.
Jodie cursed him inwardly for being stingy when she heard him say this. She didn’t let it go. “Then why not give it a try?” She jokingly said, “You give me some of your luck, and I’ll let you share in my good luck. Maybe you’ll be lucky soon.” Sharing a little luck didn’t mean borrowing or giving away too much. But she was planning to take half of Titus’ luck.
This should make up for the weaknesses she had been weakened by before. Titus felt uneasy hearing these words. If it weren’t for Simone’s reminder, he might have agreed without hesitation to Jodie’s words today. The way she looked, it seemed like she was just joking.
Fortunately, that day, he had the idea of watching a show and insisted on going with Harold to find Simone. Otherwise, he didn’t know how much of his luck would have been borrowed today. Titus joked. “That’s impossible. I’ve been having bad luck lately, and you too. Let’s share it. Otherwise, it would be like adding insult to injury.”
He had been playing with his phone all along. So, when Jodie first suggested it, he sent a message asking Harold to call him. He asked him to say that there was something urgent and they needed to meet. Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang. He immediately answered and spoke a few words with Harold After hanging up the phone, he stood up and uttered. “Harold needs me for something I need to leave now Leaving Jodie behind, he gave Luca and Aaron a look that said, “Good luck Then he quickly left

a jerk, running away like that just as the two of them were about to come up with an excuse
to leave as well.
Jodie looked at Luca and said, “Luca, can you share some of your luck with me?” Apart from Titus, Luca had also been distant toward her recently. Even when she had taken the initiative. to apologize to him at the hospital abroad, he still heartlessly refused to visit her. Since Titus had left, it was time to turn to Luca.
Luca was a top singer with a lot of popularity and fans. His luck should be much better than Titus, Luca was speechless. He looked more like a scapegoat than Andrew. He had been. skeptical about borrowing luck before. But now that Jodie was doing this, and it was falling on him, he completely believed it.
If it was just a joke, she shouldn’t have brought it up again after talking to Titus. But she came looking for him after Titus left. He wouldn’t believe it if there wasn’t an intention.
He hesitated for a moment and said, “I’ve been having a rough time lately, too. When I appeared on a variety show before, and because you asked me to go find Simone, I was almost criticized to death by the netizens. I even lost a lot of fans. Just like Titus, I’m having bad luck now.” He added, “I won’t give it to you. Otherwise, if I give you the bad luck and make things worse for you, what should we do?
Jodie was taken aback for a moment, then continued with a considerate smile. “I’m willing to share it with you so you won’t have bad luck anymore.” This time, Luca was smart enough to catch the flaw in her words. She cleverly didn’t say it was bad luck. So, it could only be sharing good luck with him.
He looked at Jodie in shock. “Are you saying that I should share my bad luck with you?” Jodie remained silent. She almost couldn’t hold back her smile and continued with wordplay. “Yes, I’ll share it.” She asked again, “Luca, can you share some of your luck with me?” Luca heard this question again and felt a chilling sensation that was hard to describe.
He looked embarrassed and said, “Then I’ll share my bad luck with you. If you want it, take
it.”
Who the hell wants your bad luck? She coaxed. “Okay. If you say you’re willing, I’ll help you.” As long as Luca said yes, his luck could be borrowed by her. The so-called bad luck naturally wouldn’t transfer to her. It would only be luck. But it had to be his voluntary consent; even unconscious willingness would do.
Luca and Aaron understood when they saw her staring like that. They had to make someone say they were willing This thing had to be agreed upon personally. Otherwise, it probably
wouldn’t take effect
Luca would only be foolish to say he agreed I already said it just now. You can have all the bad luck He only had one thought in his mind to give her bad luck and not luck He didn’t dare to utter words like “willing or agree

Jodie was becoming frustrated. Why was Luca being so stubborn today? Didn’t he used to express
his love for her? Now, he wanted to share all the misfortune with her. Was that fair? It was too much.
Since she couldn’t get anything from Luca anymore, she could only gaze at Aaron. She smiled and said, “Then Aaron, can you share some luck with me?” Aaron was speechless. He couldn’t escape either.
Confused, he looked at her and asked, “Didn’t Luca give it to you? Jodie, what’s bothering you today?” He pretended not to understand and continued, “Why do you always want us to share our luck with you? And you ask each of us individually.”
Jodie had already figured out how to respond to this. She smiled and uttered, “My brothers. are all so good to me. I can’t favor one over the other. So, I have to ask each of you separately.”
“Aaron, didn’t you used to say you loved me the most?” Her eyes filled with grievances.
She looked at him and continued to ask, “I was just joking, and you don’t even want to play along with me? Can you play a game with me?” She had wanted to ask this earlier. He had promised to always cherish and spoil her, so why couldn’t he even say he was willing now?
