The Miraculous Simone Gray novel Chapter 4

While filming, Simone rarely initiated contact with the Gray Family and Leon. However, he would still visit her every month, taking care of her as before and denying any connection with Jodie. Nevertheless, the variety show and his affection for another woman left a deep pain in her heart.

After completing the film, she returned to Cebros and made the decision to investigate the two of them. A few days after her movie was released, it unexpectedly became a hit, and she even received a nomination for the Best Actress award at a domestic film festival.

The director mentioned that she had a good chance of winning the award, but before she could attend the award ceremony, she and Jodie were kidnapped at the film festival.

On that day, the Grays and Leon found them. During the negotiation, the kidnappers demanded that they choose who would be released first while the other would be left behind. Like the Gray Family, Leon chose to rescue Jodie.

The family's decision did not surprise her, but Leon's choice deeply devastated her; it was truly unexpected. In that moment, she was shocked. Her boyfriend, who had been by her side since childhood, had given up on her for the sake of Jodie.

She had only one thought—if she survived, she would sever ties with the Grays and Leon. Unfortunately, just as she was about to take matters into her own hands to save herself, one of the kidnappers, driven to madness, fired a shot at her.

As she fell, she heard the Grays and Leon shouting her name, but her heart had already turned cold. Now, with a fresh start, she had cut ties with the Gray Family and naturally had to bid farewell to Leon as well.

He did not expect Simone to mention Jodie and make such statements, furrowing his brows. "Nonsense. I don't have a lover."

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he heard her voice in his ear. "Leon, let's break up."

He was stunned, thinking he had misheard. "What did you say?" How could she suggest a breakup on her own?

She repeated, "I said, let's break up."

His expression changed slightly. "Take back those words, and I'll pretend I never heard them."

She rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not seeking your opinion; I'm informing you. We're breaking up. We'll have no connection in the future."

Upon hearing her resolute tone, he asked in confusion, "Why?"

She did not mince her words. "Leon, go pursue Jodie if you like her." She scoffed again. "You were dating me, yet you asked me to give up my place for her and secretly cared for her. You honestly make me sick."

If Leon had been honest with her from the beginning and expressed his feelings for Jodie or admitted that there was something special between them, perhaps the situation would be different. Even if she cared about him, she would not stay with him, let alone cling desperately.

However, he had betrayed her before her death, so she genuinely felt repulsed. "Don't contact me anymore." After saying this, she hung up the phone. Then, she blocked and deleted all of Leon's contact information.

Meanwhile, Leon only regained his senses upon hearing the busy signal on his phone. He had not expected her to know about his dealings with Jodie behind her back, making the sudden breakup difficult for him to accept. He couldn't resist it, so he called back, but all he received was a continuous busy signal, indicating that he had been blocked.

He was about to video call Simone when he discovered that he was no longer her friend; she had deleted him. At that moment, he couldn't believe it and felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness. So, he called Jodie to inquire.

When he learned that Simone had chosen to sever ties with the Gray Family because she refused to give up her place for Jodie and had left directly, he was even more shocked.

On the other side, Simone was organizing the belongings she had brought from the Gray Residence and took out her household register. After her master adopted her, he calculated her fate. Then, through connections, she managed to be listed in the household register of a deceased family, ensuring that there would be no trouble later on.

As a result, her household registration only showed herself now. When she returned to the Gray Family, they did not transfer her registration or change her family name on the household register.

She traced her fingertip over the household register while revealing a relieved expression. Her master probably foresaw that there was no true kinship in her life, even though she had blood relatives.

This so-called family was more harmful than beneficial. In that case, she would start over and continue to be an orphan with no living relatives, as stated on her household register.
