Chapter 179 Serving Themselves on Her Plate
Leon felt extremely nervous when he witnessed Simone slip during the race and almost get injured. He sensed that something was amiss. After all, he was aware of Simone and Gwen’s. motorcycle skills, which would not lead them to such a basic mistake as slipping.
However, Simone unexpectedly used the slip to drift and secured first place. He had believed she did it intentionally. Little did he expect that it was Jodie and others who targeted Simone. If it were not for Simone’s geomancy ability, she would have been the one in the hospital. According to her, if she had not evaded the attack, her injuries would have been severe.
Jodie was truly trying to harm Simone. This kind of behavior had completely crossed his moral boundaries, leaving him furious.
She pretended to be clueless and shook her head, saying, “I didn’t do it. I didn’t say that I got injured because of Simone. I merely suspected that someone used unnatural means, so my Luca misunderstood.” She vehemently denied, “I didn’t curse Simone; she’s misunderstood.”
Luca was watching the tablet at that moment. When he heard her words, an expression of disbelief appeared. Then, he addressed the camera. “Jo, you were implying that Simone did it. That’s why I came to confront her!”
What did Jo mean? She shifted all the blame onto me!
Jodie, between damage control and Luca, unhesitatingly chose the former. She looked at him. in astonishment. “Luca, I never mentioned Simone’s name from beginning to end. You misunderstood and rushed to confront her. I was lying in bed injured and couldn’t stop you. in time. You said it was Simone who did it to me, so I couldn’t help but suspect. I wanted to know if it was her. She looked pitiful, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. “Luca, you misunderstood me.”
When Luca comes back, I’ll just coax him. For now, he can only bear with it.
He laughed in anger. “So, in the end, it’s all my fault?” He acknowledged his mistake. His error was that he should not have been incited by her and impulsively confronted Simone.
Jodie’s refusal to admit it meant she was guilty. He also remembered her words when she woke up, saying it should not have been her lying there. Did she mean Simone should be the one lying in the hospital, disfigured and with broken limbs, instead?
At that moment, his heart felt as cold as if it had fallen into an ice cave. It was ridiculous that this was his angel stepsister whom he trusted and protected.
Jodie hurriedly said, “I know it’s because Luca cares about me that he misunderstood.” She looked at Simone and apologized, “Simone, we misunderstood you.” She did this just to move past the incident quickly as damage control.
Simone looked at her with a smile. “Is it just a misunderstanding? I’ve sworn that I did not harm you on purpose. Now, it’s your turn. Can you swear that you didn’t curse me?”
Jodie tried to divert the attention, but Simone would not allow it. She wanted Jodie to know that anyone with malicious intentions would suffer the consequences. She instigated Luca to trouble her, so she should be prepared to face the consequences.
Seeing Simone’s unwavering gaze, Jodie secretly resented her. She believed Simone was intentionally doing this. D“mn it, we’re tricked by this woman again. She cried and shook her head to explain, “I didn’t curse you. You misunderstood me.”
Simone raised an eyebrow. “Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, you can prove it by swearing. Don’t just deny; I won’t listen. I believe everyone present and those watching the live stream have the same thoughts. They want to see you swear to prove your innocence.” She deliberately pushed Jodie to the forefront.
She was rendered speechless. These men are getting more unreliable by the day.
He said sternly, “Swear. Why are you looking at me and Aaron?”
