After Simone departed, Salma gazed incor-2-lit

“You can leave now.”

It had become challenging for her to face Jodie, especially knowing that Jodie’s biological parents. conspired to abduct her daughter and schemed against their family.

From Salma’s expression, Jodie could tell that she was currently disgusted with her.

But she could

more than half of it given to her biological mother.

Before, slid owned properties given by the Gray Family. But after returning from Cubilis, Steven had someone he then away.

If she wantedve, she could only rent a house. But she didn’t have much money left, and she couldn’t afford a luxury house. She didn’t want to live a miserable life.

Therere, she suddenly knelt in front of Salma and cried. “Mom, please don’t drive me away. You’re only one I have left. I didn’t even know he was my biological father, and I have no connection with him. I only acknowledged him before because I was afraid he would harm us. But I have no inte feelings with him at all. In my heart, you are the only farmily I have. Even though you’re not my biological mother, you mean more to me than my biological mother. I have always treated you as my mother!”

Then she hugged one of Salma’s legs. “Mom, please let me stay and continue to take care of you. I will definitely not go with him. If he comes back, I will stop him. You heard what he did; I had no knowledge of it. I am an innocent victim. I just want to be with you and live a good life together.”

She new what Salma wanted to hear.

At this moment, Salma must be wary and afraid of her biological father, and having her by her side would

ring her some comfort.

After all, no one was capable of hurting their own children. So, she offered to protect her.

tricks.

Sure enough, after hearing Jodie’s words, Salma’s expression softened.

Indeed, Jo was just a kid back then. What her parents did had nothing to do with her.

Salma didn’t know what to do now.

She didn’t dare to continue living in this villa, but she couldn’t bring herself to go back to the Gray Family either.

She needed someone to keep her company, someone who could provide her with some comfort. ?

Especially new that Jodie only had her as family. Jodie would rely on her and listen to her in the future.

However, the uneasiness in her heart remained. She said coldly, “I’ll give year one last chance. You are not

Jodie wiped away her tears and smiled. “Thank you, Mom. From now on, I’ll listen to everything you say.”

The two of them packed up and moved to a large apartment in the city center owned by Salma.

While Jodie was tidying up her room, Salma instructed the two maids who were supposed to accompany them to keep eye on Jodic.

Meanwhile one drove to the outskirts of the city.

At a high ay service area, she found Bailey sitting and drinking coffee.

She walked ov and asked, “Bailey, did you get rid of the person who was supposed to take you to the ancient tomb?

They had discussed this beforehand. If someone suddenly wanted to divert Bailey’s attention, he would pretend to follow along. But halfway through, he would find a way to leave and not actually go with them.

After all, Mr. Lewis and the people behind him had always been interested in Bailey’s physique.

If he had gone along, it would have been risky if they had set a trap to deal with him. Even though his strength was formidable, he couldn’t afford to underestimate the situation.

Bailey nodded. “I used an illusion. He drove himself to the ancient tomb.”

Simon thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go, get in the car and head back

Bailey stood up and said, “Okay.”

his was not an appropriate place to talk.

After getting in the car, Simone asked, “Magnus is the person who diverted your attention. Does that mean I is the mastermind behind everything?”

Bailey pondered for a moment and replied, “It seems so.”

Simone curiously asked, “Is there any connection between Magnus and Mr. Lewis?”

If Magnus was the mastermind, then her master’s death was likely related to him. So, she didn’t want to address him as her master anymore.

Bailey replied, “They have a master-disciple relationship. After I woke up, I saw Magnus, Sage, and master. Then, I confirmed that they were the juniors of my sect. Your master had the highest talent and was the most upright, focusing solely on cultivation. Afterwards, they all achieved the Divine State. And they had their own opportunities, which allowed them to live inis era. Mr. Lewis became Magnus disciple alter achieving the Divine State, but his talent was much inferior to the other three.

He learned a secret technique and found a loophole to evade heaven’s laws. He had been planning all along, using the method of having children continuously to steal luck and extend his lifespan so that he wouldn’t be directly punished by heaven’s laws. At that time, your master and I both opposed it and wanted to stop him. But Magnus took out the sect leader’s token and ordered us not to interfere. In our sect, we all took an oath before joining that we were not allowed to disobey the sect leader’s orders as long as it didn’t involve risking our own lives. Otherwise, we would face divine punishment. I couldn’t leave Cubilis, but I once encountered someone who was being manipulated by Mr. Lewis, and I tried to warn them.

Bailey added, “Now that we’re no longer in Cubilis, I am not considered to be disobeying the sect leader’s orders. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Upon hearing his words, Simone pondered for a moment and said, ‘I see. So, it seems that Magnus is the main culprit.”

She asked, “What about my other master?”

Bailey replied, “I don’t know much about Sage. I have hardly seen him a few times. He rarely visits Cubilis and mostly stays in his Cloudmist Observatory. So, I am unsure if he and Magnus are collaborating.
