The Miraculous Simone Gray novel Chapter 479

Chapter 479 Are You Not Afraid of Playing With Fire?

Jodie was released and suddenly found herself without a place to go.

She couldn’t turn to the Gray Family, as Salma despised her and would not take her in.

Her biological father had chosen Tina over her and cut ties with her.

Her biological mother was already in prison

Even though she had hired a good lawyer to help her, her mother was sentenced to six years.

During this long period, she didn’t know if her mother would survive until her release.

Later, she learned that it wasn’t just the Gray Family and the Foster Family who had intervened in her mother’s case.

The Turner Family had also taken action, resulting in this outcome.

She had mixed feelings towards Zac.

If it weren’t for Zac’s prestigious background, popularity, successful career, and outstanding looks and temperament, everything would have been in her favor.

She had always dreamed of marrying a man like Zac.

But unfortunately, that scoundrel was drugged by Simone and targeted her.

She had no choice but to give

up

She also didn’t dare to go to her uncle’s house.

When she was in detention, her uncle and aunt had come to see her.

But instead of showing any concern, they only scolded her.

They blamed her for being a jinx, completely ruining their family.

They even wanted to force her to give them money to repay their debts.

Jodie didn’t even have enough money to hire a lawyer, so how could she possibly come up with the money?

After telling the truth, she was scolded harshly again.

If it wasn’t for being in detention, she suspected that her aunt would have hit her.

It was best not to get involved with them now, let alone go live with them.

After thinking it over, the only person she could think of was Reuben.

Now, he was the only one who still cared about her.

And so, Jodie called Reuben

At the moment, Reuben was in his office talking to Titus, trying to convince him to work at another branch of the Gray Group.

When he saw Jodie’s call, he wasn’t surprised.

He answered, “What’s up?” Jodie sweetly said, “Reuben, I’m out.”

Then, she pitifully added. “But I have nowhere to go now, and all the money I had was lost because of Mom. I don’t know what to do. Can I stay with you for a few days? Once I find a job, I’ll leave.”

The truth was that finding a job was never in the cards.

Although Jodie used to be an adopted daughter, she was also a wealthy heiress and had some fame in the entertainment industry.

Working in a random shop would be embarrassing if she was recognized.

Reuben hesitated and said. “It’s not that I don’t want to take you in, but if Mom finds out, neither of us will escape her wrath. How about I give you some money, and you can stay in a hotel? You have a good relationship with Joanne, don’t you? Maybe you can go to her and stay for a few days. It’s thanks to her that you were able to come out this time.”

These words made Titus, who was looking at his phone, look up at Reuben.

The latter met his gaze, his eyes showing little emotion.

Jodie felt uncomfortable on the other side, but she knew she couldn’t refuse.

And so, she obediently said, “Okay, then I’ll stay at a hotel. Reuben, the money you’re giving me… Consider it as a loan. I’ll pay you back when I have money.”

It was impossible to repay the money, but the words sounded good, making it seem like she didn’t want to rely on him.

Reuben smiled. “It’s just a small amount of money. Don’t worry about it. I’m about to have a meeting. Contact me if you need anything in the future.”

Jodie said, “Okay, I won’t bother you then.”

Just after hanging up the phone, she received a text notification that 15 thousand had been added to her account.

Jodie pursed her lips, thinking that Reuben was really stingy.

What can you do with 15 thousandt

But for now, it solved her urgent need, and it also meant that he did care about her.
