The Miraculous Simone Gray

Chapter 273

Chapter 273 I Reject

Aaron’s face turned pale, feeling both embarrassed and bitter at the same time. When he and the others talked about Simone, he did not think much of it. But now, after listening to the recording, their words were exposed.-

Suddenly, viewing the situation from an outsider’s perspective, he realized how excessive they had been. In front of the people present and the live audience, he looked at her and said, “I’m sorry. We went too far before, and I apologize to you. After you came back, we believed Jodie without verifying the facts and accused you. It was our mistake, and I apologize.”

Simone looked at him coldly and replied, “I reject.”

Rejecting an apology meant not forgiving, so she continued, “If causing harm could be resolved with just an apology, wouldn’t that be a joke?”

Zac added, “Exactly. What’s the use of apologizing now? Simone is done with all of you attention- seekers. She doesn’t care for your apology.”

She nodded. “Precisely.”

In her past life, she might have wanted an apology, but in this life, she neither needed nor cared about it. She never expected that, after going around in circles, her loved ones and ex would not understand.

Only Zac comprehended her and saw through her true feelings. Her gaze fell on the man, with a hint of warmth and a smile in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Leon had been staring at Simone since she played the recording. After listening to the recording, his heart ached. He had no idea she had been mistreated like this in the Gray Family.

She had never spoken ill of her family in front of him or complained. Who would have thought that the reality would be so unbearable? He blamed himself even more for not asking her about these matters more often. Instead, because of his mother’s words, he lost his love and care for her.

What had he done during those days?

No wonder Simone knew about his secret meetings with Jodie and wanted to break up after helping Jodie with the variety show.

He deserved it. He let the girl he had protected for so many years suffer so much. Moreover, he was also one of the people who hurt her. His heart now felt like it was being pricked by countless needles, causing him pain, especially when he saw Simone questioned by Andrew

and Zac immediately stepped forward to protect her.

He also remembered every episode of the show before.

Aaron and Luca questioned Simone, but Zac immediately came out to protect her, not caring about his public image or popularity with the audience.

What did he himself contribute? Before coming to Cebros, he would always be there for her whenever she needed help. Ever since he came here, he had been influenced by others and learned to turn a blind eye to her. He became the kind of person he used to despise.

Then, he noticed that Simone’s gaze toward Zac had a different shine than before. It broke his heart even more, knowing that some things were heading in a direction he did not wish to see. He wanted to say something, but he could not find the words.

up for

Could he blame Aaron and the others? Although he had not gone as far as they did, he had also hurt Simone. So, how could he have the right to blame them? Should he stand Simone as Zac did? But Zac had already taken the lead, and if he came forward now, it would seem fake.

Although he did not want to admit it, he knew Simone did not need his protection now, even if he came forward. After all, when she needed him before, he was nowhere to be seen. What would it mean if he defended her now? He found it laughable.

In the meantime, Aaron was also feeling extremely uncomfortable. Simone, his sister, did not accept their apologies, which meant they had deeply hurt her. She used to be so forgiving and good to all of them.

He pursed his lips and looked at her, saying, “Even though you rejected it, I still want to apologize. I want to make up for the mistakes I made in the past.”

Simone immediately shook her head. “No. I don’t need this. As long as you don’t bother me anymore, I’ll be grateful enough.”

Her words were hurtful, but the people around her did not think she was being unreasonable. Instead, they understood her very well. Simone just wanted some peace. Otherwise, why would she cut off ties with them? Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

At that point, Aaron felt like his heart was being stabbed. Suddenly, he remembered the cute little girl who used to follow him around, a memory that had become bluray. He calmed his emotions and spoke

again, though with some difficulty. “Okay, since this is what you want, I will do as you wish in the future.”

Simone did not need apologies or compensation, she just wanted them to stay away from her. What else could he do?

Andrew, standing in front of everyone, did not know what to say at that moment. Still, he

spoke his mind, “We’re blood-related. Do you need to make such a big deal out of it?”

She stared at him directly and said, “Actually, I do. And besides, I’ll say it again in front of everyone. I’ve severed ties with the Gray Family, including you. So, please don’t talk to me about being blood- related. It just sounds ironic and ridiculous to me.”

She could not understand the thought process of these sc*mbags. Just because we’re family means you can hurt me all you want without being held accountable? Why should that be the case?

Aaron reached out and pulled Andrew aside. “Andrew, please stop saying such foolish things. And stop talking without considering the consequences. The one who was hurt by us is Simone; only her feelings matter the most. Now, you’re standing here as the perpetrator, saying such things. I can’t even listen to it.”

Andrew was stubborn enough to spew such words. What Simone hated the most was them. using “family” to weaponize against her.

Embarrassed to be called out by his younger brother in public, Andrew said, “We didn’t mean to hurt her before. Besides, she might’ve misunderstood us. I thought that since we’re family, we could get along if she could resolve the misunderstanding with Jo.”

He truly did not think he had done anything wrong.

“We didn’t make a mistake in adopting Jo. It was a decision made by our parents. So, Jo is innocent, too. That’s why I wanted Simone not to take it out on her. The conflict between. them is not that big of a deal. Will everything be fine if they both take a step back? Jo took the initiative to greet Simone first. Isn’t that an attempt to reconcile and make amends? Since Simone didn’t respond, I decided to speak up for Jo.”
