Chapter 362 It’s All Learned From You
Steven had noticed that his wife was becoming increasingly unreasonable.
However, he didn’t expect that there was such an underlying factor.
He sighed. “No wonder she’s been acting strange lately. It turns out Melinda is behind all of
this.”
Simone spoke honestly, “She was already unhappy with me, so she fell for it.”
Steven suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he knew that what Simone said was true.
His wife took reputation very seriously, especially in front of the Gray Family.
However, due to the continuous incidents that involved their daughter and son, she had become a target of online criticism, which caused her to lose her reputation multiple times.
She had even been reprimanded by his parents in front of other members of the Gray -Family at the old house.
So, he knew that his wife was indeed somewhat resentful and blamed Simone.
It just wasn’t as exaggerated and excessive as it was now.
It seemed that if it weren’t for Melinda’s interference, everything would have passed once his wife had calmed down.
This left him unsure of how to respond.
And it was even more disheartening that Simone knew everything, which caused their relationship to drift further apart.
With recent events, it would be even more difficult for the mother and daughter to repair their relationship.
He changed the subject and said, “Simone, can her condition be resolved?”
Simone shook her head. “This is caused by a spice; it cannot be resolved. If she stays away from Melinda in the future, there will be improvement. By the way, you can have her go to the hospital for a check-up. They should be able to find out that there’s an extra active factor in her body.”
This was also said intentionally to make Steven prevent Salma and Melinda from interacting.
And to make Salma go for a check-up and discover that she had been manipulated so she

could confront them.
Steven nodded. “Okay!”
This time, whether his wife wanted to or not, he couldn’t allow her to have any more contact with Melinda.
That woman was nothing but trouble.
Leon’s reputation became worse after the incident with the Steward Family.
Even the Foster Family shares had dropped in value because of this.
Steven didn’t want to be the next victim.
The car arrived at the entrance of Cubilis.
Simone declined the suggestion of having the two of them accompany her inside, and she and Bailey got out of the car.
After they entered the city, Bailey said to Simone, “Let me take you back to the hotel.”
Simone raised an eyebrow. “Are you afraid that someone behind Jodie will come after me in Cubilis? Or do you want to confirm that you helped Sc*mbag No. 4 break the curse tonight at the hospital? It doesn’t seem like something Melinda would go and visit him tonight. There’s, only one possibility: she was instructed by someone behind the scenes to go to the ward to find out.”
Bailey realized that she was still so clever. “It’s both.”
The reason why Simone was asked to control those two lights today was to let the other investigate.
He discovered that his relationship with Simone was not just an act, but it was genuine.
If he wanted to make a move against Simone in the future, he would have to think twice.

Before, he wasn’t very sure if the opportunity to regain his freedom would fall on Simone, but after they spent this time together, he had a feeling.
That was, she wouldn’t be wrong.
So, whether it was because of her likable personality or her importance, he didn’t want anything to happen to her.
He changed the subject and asked, “When are you leaving?”
O

Simone replied, “The day after tomorrow.”
Tomorrow, I’m looking forward to seeing the showdown between Salma and Melinda; it will be a real spectacle.
Bailey could see what she was thinking, “You!” Then he curiously asked, “How do you watch a play?”
Simone couldn’t help but laugh. “Are Cubilis people also so nosy?”
Bailey confidently said, “Those who come from Cubilis also have to keep up with the latest trends. And it’s not just for fun; if you were stuck in this place for hundreds of years, you would be the same.”
Simone laughed. “Alright, I’ll find you tomorrow, and we can watch the play together.”
She would hack into Salma’s phone and automatically open the live video to watch the live version.
Since Bailey was interested, she would take him along.
Only then did Bailey nod in satisfaction. “Okay, I’ll wait for you!” He walked to the hotel’s
entrance.
Simone said, “Bailey, did you intentionally consume half of Sc*mbag No. 4’s luck?”
Otherwise, with Bailey’s strength, he could break the curse and retrieve the luck from Jodie,
No matter what, he could gather Sc*mbag No. 4’s luck back, but she noticed that he didn’t really protect the luck on its way back.
As a result, the luck scattered all the way, and in the end, only half returned to Sc*mbag No.
Bailey smiled at her. “With your abilities, if you had discovered this, you could have intervened, but you didn’t, did you?”
Simone also smiled. “I don’t like him, so naturally, I won’t bother with such trivial matters.”
Bailey said, “I don’t like him either, so I can’t be bothered.”
So, he intentionally left a loophole and allowed Sc*mbag No. 4 to continue to suffer and be miserable.
Simone
gave him a thumbs up.
“You are quite cunning.”
Bailey raised an eyebrow. “I learned it all from you, Simone.”

Simone retorted, “Nonsense!”
The two of them exchanged a few more words, and Simone returned to the hotel.
Bailey also returned to the courtyard.
After a while, an old man walked to the entrance of the courtyard and knocked on the door.
“Seeking an audience with the Old Master.”
Bailey used his elemental power to change his voice. “I promised not to interfere in your affairs back then, so I won’t interfere. I have also told you before that there will be consequences for doing those things, and I hope you can bear them in the future. Simone is under my protection. Whoever dares to touch her in Cubilis will die.”
Once outside Cubilis, he knew he couldn’t control them anymore.
Finally, he sneered. “Get lost.”
The old man maintained a respectful demeanor on the surface, but he didn’t believe it in his
heart.
If they could live as long as he did, why would they bother doing such things?
As for the consequences, as long as they found a way to avoid them, it would be fine.
They had been living like this for many years and had not seen any retribution, but they could only complain silently in their hearts and did not dare to show any hint of it.
After he confirmed that Bailey had kept his promise, he left with a sense of relief.
At the same time, he dismissed the idea of dealing with Simone in Cubilis.
That troublesome girl continuously thwarted his plans and caused him to face setback after setback.
This time, her actions even resulted in a significant loss of luck and lifespan for him.
Once they were out of Cubilis, he not only needed to obtain what he desired, but he also wanted to make that troublesome girl pay.
Unfortunately, he had been instructed by the Old Master not to kill her for the time being.
He narrowed his eyes, but he could find someone else to do the dirty work.
On the other side.

Steven returned to the hospital room with his son.
Andrew was lying down, while Salma kept complaining next to him about Simone and Aaron’s behavior.
He was already feeling uneasy, and now he felt like he was on the verge of a breakdown.
So, when he saw his biological father enter, it felt like seeing a savior.
