Chapter 266 Can’t Escape, Accept Your Fate
Titus’ words caused Leon’s expression to change, and he fell silent as he poured himself a few more drinks.
Harold spoke up, “Leon used to recklessly indulge in his emotions by relying on Simone’s love. He believed that no matter what he did, Simone would always be his sweetheart and wouldn’t abandon him. So, he acted without restraint. But little did he know that she also had a temper. When she said she didn’t love him, she meant it. And when she turned away, she meant it, too. Leon was dumbfounded, but by the time he realized his mistake, it was too late.”
With each word, Leon’s face grew paler. After listening, Titus agreed, “That’s exactly right. I used to think that Simone was my biological sister and that our bond as a family couldn’t be broken. Furthermore, Simone used to treat us so well, caring so much about us, so I thought she wouldn’t mind. There shouldn’t be any insurmountable obstacles among family members, but in the end, there were. We drove Simone away, and she never came back. So, we, as her brothers, also acted recklessly.”
Weren’t they just like Leon, betting on Simone’s kindness and tolerance? But when they realized their mistake, it was already too late.
Leon took a deep breath. “You’re right; I used to be too self-righteous. He had always thought that he could hold onto the little girl who grew up relying on him.
Whenever he turned around, she would be waiting for him in the same spot, just like when they were children. But this time, he messed up and lost his beloved little girl; she would never wait for him in the same spot again.
He looked at Harold and said, “You analyzed me so well, but what about my sister? Don’t tell me that you think my sister will turn back. Didn’t you also bet on my sister’s past love for you
and hurt her?”
These words wiped the smile off Harold’s face in an instant, and he said in a self-deprecating tone, “Yes, so I’m not a good person, either. We were self-righteous, acted recklessly, and now we’ve become estranged brothers.
Indeed, he had a similar mindset as Leon before, thinking that Gwen cared so much about him and wouldn’t reject him. Alas, it was too late for regrets now.
However, he couldn’t give up, so he felt bitter in his heart. Is it because I spend too much time with you two that I’ve been influenced by you? Otherwise, why did he treat Gwen so badly in the past? He wanted to do good for her but ended up hurting her instead.
Titus and Leon both said to him, ‘Get lost!

Titus was speechless. “Among us, you have always been the most malicious, yet you have the nerve to say that we are the ones who influenced you. I even thought that I was the one influenced by you.”
Leon added, “Exactly, you are the most scheming among us, dripping with malice. To turn the tables like this, you are the most shameless.” He poured a glass of wine for the other two. “But speaking of it, we really are brothers in misfortune, abandoned together. It’s our fault for not knowing how to cherish things. Come, let’s drink. We’re not going home until we’re drunk.”
He raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, then continued to drink without stopping. Since his falling out with Simone, he had developed a liking for using alcohol to numb. himself.
Harold and Titus were also in a bad mood after being criticized, following suit, and drinking. glass after glass. The three of them drank until midnight, and then they were drunkenly escorted away by their respective assistants.
Titus did have a stroke of bad luck. When he was going down the stairs, he slipped and fell down the stairs. His assistant was terrified when he saw him covered in blood and immediately drove him to the hospital.
Halfway there, the car broke down, and they couldn’t find a cab. To make matters worse, there were no cars to flag down on the road. In the end, they had to call 911 to have Titus. taken away.
After falling down the stairs, Titus had sobered up for the most part. In the hospital, his wounds were treated, and he was given a sobering IV drip. When he was fully awake, he realized that his head was cut open and stitched up. One of his hands was also fractured from
the fall.
Titus wanted to curse again and couldn’t stop himself from calling Andrew. No one answered, so he tried video calling, but still no response. He guessed that this jerk was probably feeling guilty and afraid to answer.
Afterward, he asked his assistant to take a few pictures of his miserable state, planning to settle the score with his fourth brother later. Frustrated, he opened the group chat with Luca and Aaron and intentionally initiated a group video call.
The other two, who were sleeping, were awakened by the noise. They checked the time-5 am-and wondered what their second brother was up to. Still, they answered the call one after another and saw Titus’ sorry state. Instantly, they woke up from their drowsiness.
Luca couldn’t help but ask, “Titus, what happened to you?”
Titus answered, “It’s all thanks to you. You were doing perfectly fine. Why did you have to talk to Andrew and tell him that I could ask Simone to draw the talismans? So, he came to me,

but Simone refused to help him, and he snatched my charm.

Luca was shocked. “He snatched your talisman, and then you ended up like this?”
Titus replied, “Of course, isn’t it obvious? Simone said that because my aura was on that. talisman, I protected him from disaster when Andrew took it and put it on himself.” Then, he explained how he fell from the stairs and ended up in this state.
Luca and Aaron were both horrified to hear this, especially Luca because Andrew was staying at his place. He asked, “If our talismans are snatched by Andrew, are we also protecting him
from disaster?”
Titus raised an eyebrow. “What do you think? We are brothers, after all. Otherwise, I won’t bother reminding you.” Somehow, he had a feeling that these two couldn’t escape, either.
Andrew had always been a troublemaker since childhood, and once he tasted the sweetness of his talisman, how would he let his other brothers escape? So, even though he reminded them, he was looking forward to the aftermath of these two.
After all, it was Luca who instigated Andrew to come find him. By reminding them, they would pay more attention to their talismans, making it easier to catch Andrew’s attention and allowing him to snatch them.
Luca was at a loss for words. “I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”
Aaron felt like crying. “I don’t want to participate in the next variety show.” D’mn it, not only did he have to deal with Jodie, but now he also had to watch out for Andrew.
Titus chuckled. “You were so determined to help Jodie secure a spot on the variety show, and now, you want to run away? Dream on.”
Luca added, “That’s right, little brother. You can’t escape, just accept your fate.” If Aaron ran away, Jodie and Andrew would likely come after him. After all, as the youngest, he should bear the responsibility.
Aaron sighed without a word. With brothers like these, he was truly unlucky. The three of them continued their conversation for a while before ending the video call. However, neither of them could sleep.
The next morning, after Aaron finished breakfast, he received a call from Jonah informing hum that the originally scheduled time and location had changed due to some issues. The show had been postponed for half a month, and the location had also been changed to
Cubilis
Upon hearing this change, Aaron felt uneasy. The fact that they postponed the time and changed the location indicated that the person behind Jodic was not ordinary Tentatively he asked if he could withdraw from the next variety show, even at the cost of paying a penalty

Nevertheless, Jonah disagreed and said that unless he was truly unable to participate, he had to fulfill his commitment no matter what. After all, Aaron had agreed to participate in all the variety shows to make Jodie famous; he couldn’t simply break his promise.
Reluctantly, Aaron agreed to continue participating in the next variety show. On the other side, Simone and the others also received a phone call from Jonah, and at noon, Titus was discharged from the hospital and immediately taken by his assistant to the apartment where Simone lived.
