Forgive Us, My Dear Sister

Chapter 57

R team.

Suddenly, an assistant joined the video conference. “Titus, something’s happened. Paparazzi have dug

up Simone’s childhood story. They even exposed the fact that she is the biological daughter of the

Grays. This will become the top trending headline.”

Titus and his team listened in shock. They immediately picked up their phones and checked the

trending topics, and it was exactly as the assistant had described.

‘Simone’s Heiress‘ Identity is Revealed, But…‘

The title naturally piqued the curiosity of netizens.

Those who clicked on it were taken through Simone’s life from childhood. At a young age, she was

kidnapped by human traffickers and almost sold into the mountains to be a child bride. On the way, a

geomancy expert saw through the traffickers‘ plan and saved Simone and a few other kidnapped

children. At that time, Simone was not claimed by her family, so the geomancy expert adopted her and

raised her.

From there, she excelled in academics. Starting from school, she consistently ranked first in her grade.

She even skipped several grades and entered Cebros‘ top university, majoring in geomancy and

metaphysics, becoming the top student in the field.

Her academic achievements, awards, and more were all detailed.

In her senior year, she entered the entertainment industry with excellent academic results. At nineteen,

she was recognized as the missing daughter of the Gray Family. It turned out she was the Gray

Family’s daughter who had gone missing. Aaron and Jodie were actually Grays.

Chapter 57 No More Waiting

In the entertainment industry, they used different names. Jodie was not the biological daughter of the

Gray Family but was adopted by them after Simone went missing.

It turned out that the group of elderly fans had accurately read the physiognomies.

According to common knowledge, Simone seemed to have fallen out with the Gray Family and moved

out. So, the strained relationship between her and Aaron in the live broadcast was explained.

As for deeper secrets, the paparazzi had not uncovered them yet.

The Gray Family had a long–standing legacy and had intentionally kept their affairs under wraps. It was

difficult to unearth any information about them. The paparazzi had only managed to dig up details

through Simone’s history. They were still working tirelessly to uncover more.

In addition to this, a major influencer posted on social media. They shared the screenshot of the

paternity test between Simone and the Gray Family. It was sent to their inbox, and after confirming its

authenticity, they promptly posted it to ride the wave of popularity.

This influencer had strong backing and used an account that often posted major scandals, and they

were not afraid to offend anyone. These revelations quickly went viral online.

Previously, there was no solid evidence regarding the cousin–sibling relationship or the claims that

Simone and Aaron were true siblings. But now, with the paternity test results out, coupled with the

reputation of this influential figure, everyone wholeheartedly believed it.

Aside from being astounded by the enormity of this revelation, many were also captivated by Simone’s

achievements. Most admired her for her resilience in overcoming difficulties with determination.

People sympathized with her predicament and were also curious about what had transpired between

Simone and the Gray Family. Why were she and her biological brother on such strained terms? Was

Simone’s departure from the Gray Family true? Many speculated that the whole situation might have

been instigated by Jodie.

Later in the evening, the video of Aaron and Jodie embracing resurfaced. Many suspected that Jodie

might have orchestrated it. After all, they were not blood–related, and the intimacy shown in the video

led to wild speculations.

Simone’s fans even went through the replays, capturing numerous other clips. From the videos, it was

evident that Jodie often displayed deep affection for Aaron in front of Simone, highlighting the

closeness she shared with Aaron. It seemed like a deliberate jab at her sister’s feelings.

Moreover, earlier in the day, Jodie intentionally injured her hand. People quickly found out the reason

behind it. She was trying to prevent Simone from exposing their relationship.

So, while many sympathized with Simone, there was a growing number of people directing their anger

toward Jodie.

Titus, upon seeing the trending topics, the influencer’s social media, and the various speculations in the

comments section, not to mention the conspiracy theories, had a deeply grim expression.

He hadn’t managed his public relations properly yet, but he was already forced to face such a difficult

situation. I can’t wait any longer. Thus, he called Aaron, instructing him to pass the phone to Leon.

Chapter 57 No More Waiting

Leon, still awake, answered promptly. “I haven’t made up my mind yet.”

Titus recounted the rapid spread of the news online. “We can’t wait any longer. Jo is taking the heat

and being constarily criticized.”

Leon hadn’t expected the paparazzi to uncover this so quickly. Previously, when the Gray Family

brothers and Jodie entered the entertainment industry, they had deliberately kept their relationship and

the fact that they came from the wealthy Gray Family under wraps. The brothers even went out of their

way to avoid discussing it.

So, the paparazzi had not been able to uncover their relationships for a long time. If it hadn’t been for

the previous exposure of Aaron and Jodie traveling alone together, they wouldn’t have willingly

revealed their sibling relationship.

Corporation, with the mighty Gray Corporation as its backbone. Thus, obtaining the Gray Family’s

paternity test was not an easy feat.

Leon couldn’t help but think of Simone.

There was silence on the line for a while. Titus urgently asked, “Have you made up your mind? Don’t

you want Jo to be alright too? Exposing your relationship with Simone won’t have a huge impact on

you. You’re not just a popular actor relying on social media traffic now. Plus, you have the backing of

your family, which is just like the Gray Family.”

With his influential background, Leon was a force to be reckoned with in the industry.

Upon hearing Titus‘ words, Leon was brought back to reality. “But what about Simone?” he retorted.

He hesitated, biting his lip, and countered, “Have you considered the impact our relationship being

exposed will have on her?”

Titus hesitated as well, clearly not having thought about this before. After a moment, he responded,

“Simone has always shown strength. She has endured so much since her youth and can handle it.

However, Jo, who was spoiled by the Gray Family, is sensitive and easily hurt. When the variety show

airs and she discovers the online criticism, I fear she won’t be able to cope. Moreover, it all started with

Simone. If she hadn’t intentionally clashed with Aaron on the show and steered the conversation in a

certain direction, people wouldn’t have been so curious. It was also her so–called geomancer fans that

gave the paparazzi something to dig into. So, let’s end it with her.”

He paused, then added, “I will compensate Simone. After all, she’s my biological sister.”
