The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 109 Shocked
The group sat down at a table opposite Simone and Gwen.
Since Simone and Gwen were sitting in a dark corner and they deliberately sat sideways, the people on that side didn’t notice.
After the group sat down, Jodie and Innocent Lily didn’t sit with the other girls.
Instead, one sat next to Titus, and the other sat next to Harold.
The four of them were sitting on a large couch, with two men in the middle and two women on the sides.
After ordering drinks, Titus and Harold leaned in to chat while Jodie and Innocent Lily poured drinks for them, giving the
impression of two couples.
Simone, with her good hearing, could vaguely hear their conversation.
Sc*mbag No. 2 was discussing investing in web dramas, specifically the new drama of Sc*mbag No. 4, with Useless Rock.
Curious, Simone asked Gwen, “Were Sc*mbag No. 2 and Useless Rock close before?”
She wasn’t very familiar with Harold. When she arrived at Cebros, he went abroad.
Gwen whispered, “Sc*mbag No. 2, Useless Rock, and Leon were all high school classmates. They were a tight–knit trio during
their school days.” She added, “Sc*mbag No. 2 is two years older than us. He dropped out for two years before returning to our
grade.”
That was why she had Sc*mbag No. 2’s contact.
Leon came to Cebros during his first year of high school, but she couldn’t due to her grandfather.
go
back together
Unfortunately, her grandfather passed away during her second year of high school.
At that time, Gwen wanted to stay and be with Simone.

However, with a significant inheritance in her hands, her mother persuaded her grandmother and father to transfer her back to
Cebros for school.
As a result, she ended up in the same class as Leon.
To defy her mother and due to her rebellious ne at the time, she pretended to be a bad student, but behind the scenes, Gwen
actually studied with Simone. So, she had a solid
1/5
foundation.
However, during exams, she would randomly fill in the answers, intentionally maintaining the last–place record.
Every time her mother saw her grades, she would be furious. It wasn’t because she cared about Gwen’s future but because she
felt embarrassed.
After all, both Skyler and Leon were influential figures in school when they were students.
Both of them consistently ranked in the top three of the entire grade.
The other cousins and siblings also had good grades.
Every time the Fosters used Gwen to taunt her mother, she found it quite amusing.
In their year, Harold was a genius student, always ranking first in the whole school. After Gwen transferred, the teacher arranged
her seat next to Harold. He had a cold temperament, and she initially tried to start a conversation, but he was very indifferent.
After that, she ignored him.
Later, she was pursued by a boy outside of school.
She didn’t agree and told him to go away
When the boy’s ex–girlfriend found out, she brought a group of about ten people to confront her.
Gwen was capable of fighting, but there were too many of them. Before she could react, the girl took a brick and smashed it
toward Gwen’s head.

At that time, Harold happened to pass by that alley. So, he swung his backpack and hit the girl, saving Gwen from being hit on
the head.
He also stepped in and beat down several boys who were surrounding her.
Although Harold had a cold temperament, he was good–looking and always a top student.
That day, seeing him fighting in his school uniform, Gwen suddenly found him very hot and had a crush on him. Because of this
incident, she no longer pretended to be a bad student but instead worked hard to catch up with him.
She would often pester him and ask about acadernic matters.
He would sometimes get impatient, but he would still carefully explain the questions to her.
2/5
Other girls saw this and started to seek his help, but he would coldly refuse.
Every month, she would bother him to go out and play.
Harold would act unwilling, but he would always show up at the agreed location.
During the SAT, Gwen worked hard and got into the same college as him. She even listened to his advice and studied
economics and management.
In their third year of college, he finished all the undergraduate courses, obtained all the credits, and received his graduation
certificate through an early examination.
He also got accepted into a prestigious foreign university for his graduate studies.
Before going abroad, he told her that he would start a company overseas in the future and hinted that she could join his
company after graduation.
After he went abroad, they maintained contact.
Whenever she sent him a message, even if his reply came late, there was still a reply.
If Gwen encountered something she didn’t understand in her studies, he would patiently teach her through video calls.

So, after graduating from college, she went abroad to find him and joined his company.
It was then that she discovered Harold had a secretary, Innocent Lily. From the way she looked at him, it was clear that she was
infatuated with him.
She had arguments with him because of Innocent Lily, but he would always say they had no relationship and ask her not to
overthink.
She pursued him and wanted to define their relationship, but he would always change the subject and avoid it.
Because of Innocent Lily, they had many fights.
Before Gwen returned to the country, they had planned to have a meal together, but Innocent Lily suddenly fell ill, so he broke
the appointment to visit her in the hospital.
As a result, they stopped talking.
Seeing Simone decisively break up with Leon, Gwen suddenly felt exhausted.
That was when she decided to let go, stop entangling with him, and return to the country to accompany Simone.
When Gwen and Leon came to Cebros for high school, Simone was still in another city, so she wasn’t very familiar with these
things.
Although they kept in touch, they didn’t mention others much. After all, they didn’t know each other.
After entering the entertainment industry following her graduation from college, Simone was recognized as a member of the Gray
Family.
That was when she found out that Leon and Sc*mbag No. 2 were classmates, and they could be considered childhood friends,
but she didn’t inquire much about their high school days.
She said, “No wonder they seem to have such a good relationship. Useless Rock even wants to invest in Sc*mbag No. 4’s
drama.”
Gwen said, “When we were classmates, I didn’t know he was your brother and would treat you like that. Otherwise, I would have
beaten him up.”

Although Gwen and Leon were classmates with Sc*mbag No. 2, they didn’t return to Cebros until high school.
At that time, the Gray Family had already given up searching for their biological daughter openly, and no one in their circle or the
Fosters mentioned it.
Sc*mbag No. 2 did mention his sister but in an affectionate manner.
So, they were unaware that the sister he referred to was not his biological sibling.
When they were together, they didn’t deliberately inquire or explore each other’s family
matters.
Furthermore, Simone and Sc*mbag No. 2 didn’t resemble each other.
Therefore, they never connected Simone with being the lost daughter of the Gray Family. Later, when they discovered that
Simone was Scmbag No. 2’s sister, they were all surprised. Simone chuckled and said, “It’s alright. I’ll have a chance to beat him
up myself in the future.” While they were conversing, opposite them, Jodie picked up a glass of wine and took a sip. She then
choked, coughing continuously, and her eyes became red.
Titus immediately went over to pat her back.
Jodie took advantage of the situation to lean against him and act spoiled, allowing him to comfort her.
In Titus‘ embrace, Jodie even reached out and hugged his neck, rubbing her face against his chest.
Titus reciprocated by embracing Jodie, comforting her while also using a tissue to wipe the
wine from the corner of her mouth.
Observing this, Gwen exclaimed in surprise while taking photos, “Is the Gray Family raising a daughter, not a daughter–in–law?”
That didn’t seem like the behavior between siblings. When she had a good relationship with Leon in their youth, they never acted
like this.
After they returned to Cebros, their sibling relationship became more strained and distant.
Not to mention hugging, Leon would never pat her head or have a situation where they would link arms at a banquet.

Back in the Gray Residence, Simone was also shocked to see Jodie being so intimate with the five sc*mbags.
“Yeah, Jodie has always been the center of attention.”
Simone also noticed that the reason why the five sc*mbags behaved this way was because Jodie intentionally guided them to
become accustomed to it.
Then Simone’s gaze shifted to Innocent Lily sitting not far from the two. Suddenly, her were filled with astonishment.
