Chapter 265 Stop Struggling
Harold and Leon glanced at the messages in the group. Upon reading Simone’s message, they couldn’t help but raise their heads. With sympathetic looks, they turned their gaze
towards Titus.
Harold couldn’t help but comment, “Titus, Andrew is really out to get you! Your first talisman was ruined because of Jodie Gray. You bought a second one, but before you could use it to ward off disasters, it helped him instead.”
Titus’ face darkened. “This isn’t the first time that scoundrel deceived me. Last time, he tried to snatch the bracelet from his hand, and now he took his talisman. He angrily recounted, “I was driving today, and the person in front suddenly braked, causing me to crash into them. That person was particularly difficult to deal with. Not only did I have to pay for the damages, but it also delayed me for a long time. After that, wherever I went, there was traffic. When I got out of the car, I bumped and fell. I even said that today is not going well; it turns out I was helping my fourth brother to ward off bad luck.”
Although Harold knew it was inappropriate to laugh, he couldn’t help but say, “Titus, it’s not Jodie who brought you bad luck, but your brother. It sounds so funny.”
Leon also chuckled. “Titus, you are truly fortunate to have such a brother.”
Titus gave them a disdainful look. “I’ll give you this kind of fortune.” Then, he quickly asked in the group chat, ‘So what should I do? Do I have to get back my previous talisman?’
He didn’t want to help Andrew ward off bad luck. After all, Andrew was the one who caused. all this trouble, and he was innocent.
“There are two options, came Simone’s reply. ‘One is to retrieve your previous charm, and the second is for me to erase the aura on that charm and draw a new one for you.
Titus suggested, “Then, let’s go with the second option. That scumbag definitely won’t return. it to me. Draw a new one for me, and I’ll buy it again.
D*mn it, buying talismans alone had cost him 2.25 million.
Simone: ‘I bought some jade to carve charms, and there’s no time limit for this. As long as don’t get hit, causing the charm to shatter, you can use it indefinitely, and the effect is much better than the previous charms. Would you like to buy one?”

She cut off the path for the mastermind behind buying top-grade jade, fearing that they would have ulterior motives against the Gray Family, Selling talismans and charms to Sembag No. 2 and others could provide some security. It was not that she had any feelings for them, but it was to ensure her own safety. After all, if the mastermind tampered with her bloodline, it could be detrimental to her. At the same time, she could also take advantage of

the few se mbags.
Titus immediately said, ‘I want this kind of protective charm!
Simone asked, ‘Don’t you want to ask about the price?”
He then asked. ‘How much is it?’
She replied. “Three million. Non-negotiable
It didn’t have to be a high-quality jade for those se mbags; a medium-grade one would do. Carving a few pieces of jade worth a few hundred into protective charms and selling them for three million was simply a scam.
When Titus saw the price, his mouth twitched. My sister is really ruthless! He knew that she was intentionally trying to scam him, but he couldn’t refuse. Compared to money and luck, the latter was more important.
Alright, three million it is. I want one. Titus answered. ‘Do I need to come to your place and use my aura to carve it out?
Yes, come tomorrow,’ she replied. ‘I will finish carving it tonight and seal it with your aura tomorrow. And this time, don’t let anyone snatch the protective charm away from you. Otherwise, if you need to buy another one, it will still cost another three million.
The reason for using Titus’ aura to seal the protective charm was to prevent the mastermind from tampering with it. This way, if they tried to harm Titus and the others, she would be able to detect it immediately. Otherwise, a regular protective charm wouldn’t require the use
of an aura.
I definitely won’t let anyone snatch it again. Titus assured. It was worth three million, after all. If Andrew dared to lay a finger on it again, he would beat him to death. ‘T’ll visit you tomorrow, Titus said.
Okay, Simone replied.
Leon noticed that their conversation was about to end and immediately gave Titus a meaningful look. Titus was speechless, but after thinking about it, he still asked, ‘Simone, I saw on the viral news just now that there are rumors about you and Zac. Are you two together?
Simone didn’t expect him to ask this. It’s none of your business whether we are together or not. Simone replied. Instead of meddling in other people’s affairs, you should think abou what to do if you have bad luck tonight
Given Titus personality he wouldn’t care about who she was with. It was very likely that Leon instigated hum to ask and she couldn’t be bothered to deal with them

Titus looked at her words and said nothing. Does that mean that I’ll have bad luck tonight? Will I have bad luck tonight?’ he asked.
‘I don’t know. I’m going to rest. That’s it, Simone replied.
Titus was dumbfounded. It was clear that Simone was not happy, and he glared at Leon, grumbling. “See, you made me offend her.”
Then, he immediately sent a message to the group, saying, ‘Don’t worry, just consider what I said earlier as nonsense. And you should know that I will never meddle in other people’s affairs again.
Simone’s reaction just now was to annoy Leon because she didn’t want him to stare at Titus always and then encourage him to ask this and that. Seeing that Titus admitted his mistake so quickly, she retorted, ‘You will be as unlucky as Andrew would be tonight. Just come and get the charm tomorrow.”
Titus felt like crying because he didn’t want to be unlucky. ‘Can I come and pick up charm tonight?”
She answered, ‘No, you cannot.
the
He replied, fearful of angering Simone and not receiving it tomorrow, ‘Well, then rest well. I will contact you tomorrow.”
Simone read the message but did not respond.
At the bar, Leon lifted his glass and took a few large sips. He knew Simone and understood. her previous statement, which left him feeling awful. Not only did she no longer want him, but she also did not desire his concern.
Observing Leon’s state, Titus remarked, “Leon, I believe you are destined to be with us. So, stop struggling.”
Leon glanced up at him and inquired, “What do you mean by being destined to be with you guys?”
Titus replied, “Being despised and abandoned by Simone, but it’s our fault. We’re the ones who chose Jodie over Simone. It he had known that Jodie was this kind of person, he must have been crazy to have suppressed his sister for her.
Leon pursed his lips and stated, “I did not cling to Jodie Gray.” From the beginning, Simone was always more important to him.
Harold sneered. Leon, you are just a scumbag who is oblivious. No matter the reason, you aided Jodie against Simone. That really happened, didn’t it?”

Leon frowned. “I did not aid Jodie against Simone. It was my mom who asked me to protect. Jodie, so I helped her, but I did not suppress Simone.”
Titus raised an eyebrow. “You kept it a secret from Simone and privately assisted Jodie, and you expected Simone to give up her spot in the variety show for Jodie. Isn’t that suppressing her? When Simone was under attack, I did not see you assisting her with public relations.
I assisted Jodie in attacking Simone and admitted that I was not a good brother. I know I have a problem, which is why Simone abandoned me. Leon, perhaps you have spent too much time with Jodie and turned into a hypocrite?”
He only realized it after learning a hard lesson. When you are wrong, you are wrong. Why bother making so many excuses?
