Forgive Us, My Dear Sister (The Miraculous Simone Gray)
Chapter 167

Chapter 167 A Bit Ridiculous.

Luca was taken aback when his younger brother threw his own words back at him. Already in a bad

mood, he became even more annoyed. With a stern face, he asked, “You helped Jo just now. Shouldn’t

you help me, too?*

Aaron grinned and replied, “We’re still temporarily estranged, so you should handle it yourself”

Luca really wanted to drag his dear brother out and give him a beating Looking at the ten glasses of

cocktails on the table, he dreaded drinking them, but he also knew that he couldn’t

avoid them.

Zac spoke up. “Are you going to drink all ten glasses? Won’t your sister help share the burden?” He

originally suggested the drinking bet to set up Leon and Jodie. These two had treated Simone so badly

before, especially Jodie, who took everything from Simone and still pretended to be innocent.

He had unintentionally noticed the resentful and hateful look in Jodie’s eyes when she looked at

Simone. It made him wary, and he wanted to find an opportunity after the live broadcast to remind

Simone to watch out. Jodie disgusted him, and she acted just like a jackal seeing meat when she was

with him. So, he wanted to find a chance to expose her true colors, at least to let everyone see who

she really was.

Who knew that Leon was smart this time and managed to avoid it? On the other hand, Jodie had to

maintain her image and hadn’t even drunk a single glass from his trap. It was like digging a pit for

nothing, which he found unacceptable. Even if she didn’t end up drinking in the end, he wanted to leave

a thorn in Luca’s heart.

Meanwhile, Jodie didn’t expect Zac to target her. “Why is this guy so lacking in grace? Luca didn’t even

say anything yet.” Now, she was caught in a dilemma again and couldn’t help but curse Luca in her

heart. Why did he have to drag her into it when he was so confident in the drinking bet?

Aaron looked at her and saw the refusal and resentment in her eyes, and his heart sank. Luca usually

protected her so much, but she didn’t even want to help with taking a few drinks. And now, she was

even blaming Luca. Moreover, since she didn’t want to drink, she should have been direct from the

beginning, like Leon. Or like him, who found an excuse to refuse and didn’t participate anymore.

She wanted to maintain the image of a caring and considerate little sister but didn’t want to share the

difficulties. The so-called care and thoughtfulness she usually showed turned out to be just empty

words, so fake.

At this moment, his heart was incredibly complicated, and he felt very uncomfortable. She was the

younger sister they had spoiled for so many years, but this was getting a bit

ridiculous!

He said to Luca, Luca, why don’t you let Jo share a few drinks with you?” He didn’t mean to force Jodie

to drink but just wanted to see what she would do and let Luca see how “considerate” Jodie, his sister,

could be.

Jodie couldn’t believe it and jerked her head up at Aaron. Although she didn’t expect Aaron to help her,

she didn’t expect him to join Zac in trying to set her up. “Did he lose his mind? Is he crazy?”

Luca glanced at his brother and saw him subtly nodding at him. He didn’t know what Aaron was up to,

but he still turned to Jodie and said, “Jo, do you want to have two drinks?”

Taken aback, she didn’t want to drink at all. Just now, she had witnessed the pain on Luca and Aaron’s

faces while drinking the cocktails, especially Luca, who almost spat it out and even drank half a bottle

of mineral water afterward. It meant that the drink was horrible.

After contemplating for a moment, she said, “Luca, of course I’m willing to drink with you. It’s just that

I’m on my period, so how about I only drink three glasses?” She believed that Luca, who loved her so

much, wouldn’t let her drink during her period.

Sure enough, Luca suddenly smiled. “It’s okay; it’s just ten glasses of cocktails. I’ll drink it.” Without

hesitation, he picked up a glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Crushed by the most hated and despised person, his biological sister teamed up with someone else to

set him up, his brother didn’t help him, and even his beloved foster sister did the same. He was hurt,

uncomfortable, and frustrated at the time. Then, he drank another glass, feeling a sense of relief

through alcohol.

Jodie pretended to reach out and pick up a glass of cocktail. “Luca, let me help you with two glasses.

Luca wasn’t that foolish and realized that she didn’t want to drink. Even though she had picked it up,

she didn’t drink it directly but asked him instead. So, he reached out and snatched the drink she had

picked up. “No need, I admit defeat and deserve to be punished.”

Although he hated to admit it, he was indeed slapped and crushed by Harry today. Even without the

need to look, he could guess that the online sentiment would change today, and he would probably be

criticized. He was willing to accept the consequences of his bet. Otherwise, what else could he do?

Arguing or evading would only make him more embarrassed, so he might as well be straightforward.

He drank nine glasses in a row, and his face turned slightly red, but he wasn’t drunk. Although Zac

wanted to set them up, he had emphasized to the waiter to use drinks with low alcohol content.

Therefore, even if Luca drank ten glasses in a row, he actually hadn’t consumed the same amount of

beer that would easily make him drunk.

Picking up the last glass, Luca was ready to drink when Simone spoke up, “Luca, why don’t you come

over and toast to Harry for the last drink? Shouldn’t you apologize after misunderstanding someone

and throwing dirt on them? Should he be stepped on because he has a low position and no

background? That’s not how it works.” She had to protect her artist: no one should bully them like that

anymore.

Luca’s eyes were bloodshot from embarrassment and anger, and he said reluctantly, “Yes, of course I

should toast to Harry.” Standing up and walking to Harry, he fell silent before speaking. Im sorry, I

misunderstood earlier.” It was really hard to say.

grace.

Simone was really something, forcing her brother to apologize to an outsider. But the she brought it up,

if he didn’t apologize, he would appear petty and lacking in Although he didn’t care about the money he

made as a singer, he still cherished the glamor of being a top singer.

Harry could sense that Luca had been coerced by Simone into coming to apologize to him, and tears

welled up in his eyes. However, it wasn’t Luca’s apology that moved him, but Simone’s actions. She

had gone to great lengths to protect him, making it difficult for him not to be touched.

Harry didn’t want to pretend that everything was okay or offer forgiveness and reconciliation. Without

Simone’s help, he would have been oppressed by Luca and eventually forced out of the music industry.

Simone understood his thoughts and felt the same way. Apologizing didn’t automatically guarantee

forgiveness. Otherwise, all the pain Harry had endured would have been in vain.

Taking a stand for Harry, she looked at Luca seriously and said, “It’s good that you realize you

misunderstood him. I hope you will be more mindful of your words and actions in the future. Otherwise,

it will cause great harm to others and deprive the music industry of a shining star.

Luca gazed deeply at Simone and replied, “Thank you for your guidance, Miss Gray!” Then, he quickly

finished his drink. Without waiting for Harry to say anything, he returned to his original position. He

could see that if Simone spoke up again, it would be in support of Harry.

Harry didn’t want to accept Luca’s apology, so Simone stood in front of him, preventing him from doing

anything he didn’t want to do. Luca couldn’t help but feel heartbroken, and a bitter taste filled his

mouth.

After Luca finished his drink and apologized, Simone and Zac turned away from him. Harry poured a

glass of wine and specifically toasted Simone. Meeting such a manager was the luckiest thing in his

life.

Zac got up and left for a while, then returned with a tray in hand. The tray was filled with various

cocktail ingredients. Seeing him holding these items, Aaron and the others couldn’t

collle cautious. What was this guy up to now? Seeing the guarded looks of the others, Zac was amused

and exasperated.

He mixed three cocktails using the ingredients he had prepared earlier, picked up a glass, and said to

Aaron, “I’m sorry, I lied to you earlier. I didn’t order drinks using your table number, and the drink you’re

having was made by me. I was just joking around, but I didn’t expect you to drink them all. Now, I’ll

have three drinks, too!”
