The Miraculous Simone Gray novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167 A Bit Ridiculous. 

Luca was taken aback when his younger brother threw his own words back at him. Already in a bad mood, he became even more annoyed. With a stern face, he asked, “You helped Jo just now. Shouldn’t you help me, too?* 

Aaron grinned and replied, “We’re still temporarily estranged, so you should handle it yourself” 

Luca really wanted to drag his dear brother out and give him a beating Looking at the ten glasses of cocktails on the table, he dreaded drinking them, but he also knew that he couldn’t 

avoid them. 

Zac spoke up. “Are you going to drink all ten glasses? Won’t your sister help share the burden?” He originally suggested the drinking bet to set up Leon and Jodie. These two had treated Simone so badly before, especially Jodie, who took everything from Simone and still pretended to be innocent. 

He had unintentionally noticed the resentful and hateful look in Jodie’s eyes when she looked at Simone. It made him wary, and he wanted to find an opportunity after the live broadcast to remind Simone to watch out. Jodie disgusted him, and she acted just like a jackal seeing meat when she was with him. So, he wanted to find a chance to expose her true colors, at least to let everyone see who she really was. 

Who knew that Leon was smart this time and managed to avoid it? On the other hand, Jodie had to maintain her image and hadn’t even drunk a single glass from his trap. It was like digging a pit for nothing, which he found unacceptable. Even if she didn’t end up drinking in the end, he wanted to leave a thorn in Luca’s heart. 

Meanwhile, Jodie didn’t expect Zac to target her. “Why is this guy so lacking in grace? Luca didn’t even say anything yet.” Now, she was caught in a dilemma again and couldn’t help but curse Luca in her heart. Why did he have to drag her into it when he was so confident in the drinking bet? 

Aaron looked at her and saw the refusal and resentment in her eyes, and his heart sank. Luca usually protected her so much, but she didn’t even want to help with taking a few drinks. And now, she was even blaming Luca. Moreover, since she didn’t want to drink, she should have been direct from the beginning, like Leon. Or like him, who found an excuse to refuse and didn’t participate anymore. 

She wanted to maintain the image of a caring and considerate little sister but didn’t want to share the difficulties. The so-called care and thoughtfulness she usually showed turned out to be just empty words, so fake. 

At this moment, his heart was incredibly complicated, and he felt very uncomfortable. She was the younger sister they had spoiled for so many years, but this was getting a bit

ridiculous! 

He said to Luca, Luca, why don’t you let Jo share a few drinks with you?” He didn’t mean to force Jodie to drink but just wanted to see what she would do and let Luca see how “considerate” Jodie, his sister, could be. 

Jodie couldn’t believe it and jerked her head up at Aaron. Although she didn’t expect Aaron to help her, she didn’t expect him to join Zac in trying to set her up. “Did he lose his mind? Is he crazy?” 

Luca glanced at his brother and saw him subtly nodding at him. He didn’t know what Aaron was up to, but he still turned to Jodie and said, “Jo, do you want to have two drinks?” 

Taken aback, she didn’t want to drink at all. Just now, she had witnessed the pain on Luca and Aaron’s faces while drinking the cocktails, especially Luca, who almost spat it out and even drank half a bottle of mineral water afterward. It meant that the drink was horrible. 

After contemplating for a moment, she said, “Luca, of course I’m willing to drink with you. It’s just that I’m on my period, so how about I only drink three glasses?” She believed that Luca, who loved her so much, wouldn’t let her drink during her period. 

Sure enough, Luca suddenly smiled. “It’s okay; it’s just ten glasses of cocktails. I’ll drink it.” Without hesitation, he picked up a glass and drank it all in one gulp. 

Crushed by the most hated and despised person, his biological sister teamed up with someone else to set him up, his brother didn’t help him, and even his beloved foster sister did the same. He was hurt, uncomfortable, and frustrated at the time. Then, he drank another glass, feeling a sense of relief through alcohol. 

Jodie pretended to reach out and pick up a glass of cocktail. “Luca, let me help you with two glasses. 

Luca wasn’t that foolish and realized that she didn’t want to drink. Even though she had picked it up, she didn’t drink it directly but asked him instead. So, he reached out and snatched the drink she had picked up. “No need, I admit defeat and deserve to be punished.” 

Although he hated to admit it, he was indeed slapped and crushed by Harry today. Even without the need to look, he could guess that the online sentiment would change today, and he would probably be criticized. He was willing to accept the consequences of his bet. Otherwise, what else could he do? Arguing or evading would only make him more embarrassed, so he might as well be straightforward. 

He drank nine glasses in a row, and his face turned slightly red, but he wasn’t drunk. Although Zac wanted to set them up, he had emphasized to the waiter to use drinks with low alcohol content. Therefore, even if Luca drank ten glasses in a row, he actually hadn’t consumed the same amount of beer that would easily make him drunk.

Picking up the last glass, Luca was ready to drink when Simone spoke up, “Luca, why don’t you come over and toast to Harry for the last drink? Shouldn’t you apologize after misunderstanding someone and throwing dirt on them? Should he be stepped on because he has a low position and no background? That’s not how it works.” She had to protect her artist: no one should bully them like that anymore. 

Luca’s eyes were bloodshot from embarrassment and anger, and he said reluctantly, “Yes, of course I should toast to Harry.” Standing up and walking to Harry, he fell silent before speaking. Im sorry, I misunderstood earlier.” It was really hard to say. 

grace. 

way 

Simone was really something, forcing her brother to apologize to an outsider. But the she brought it up, if he didn’t apologize, he would appear petty and lacking in Although he didn’t care about the money he made as a singer, he still cherished the glamor of being a top singer. 

Harry could sense that Luca had been coerced by Simone into coming to apologize to him, and tears welled up in his eyes. However, it wasn’t Luca’s apology that moved him, but Simone’s actions. She had gone to great lengths to protect him, making it difficult for him not to be touched. 

Harry didn’t want to pretend that everything was okay or offer forgiveness and reconciliation. Without Simone’s help, he would have been oppressed by Luca and eventually forced out of the music industry.
