After Simone departed, Salma gazed incor-2-lit
“You can leave now.”
It had become challenging for her to face Jodie, especially knowing that Jodie’s biological parents. conspired to abduct her
daughter and schemed against their family.
From Salma’s expression, Jodie could tell that she was currently disgusted with her.
But she could

more than half of it given to her biological mother.
Before, slid owned properties given by the Gray Family. But after returning from Cubilis, Steven had someone he then away.
If she wantedve, she could only rent a house. But she didn’t have much money left, and she couldn’t afford a luxury house. She
didn’t want to live a miserable life.

Therere, she suddenly knelt in front of Salma and cried. “Mom, please don’t drive me away. You’re only one I have left. I didn’t
even know he was my biological father, and I have no connection with him. I only acknowledged him before because I was afraid
he would harm us. But I have no inte feelings with him at all. In my heart, you are the only farmily I have. Even though you’re not
my biological mother, you mean more to me than my biological mother. I have always treated you as my mother!”
Then she hugged one of Salma’s legs. “Mom, please let me stay and continue to take care of you. I will definitely not go with
him. If he comes back, I will stop him. You heard what he did; I had no knowledge of it. I am an innocent victim. I just want to be
with you and live a good life together.”

She new what Salma wanted to hear.

At this moment, Salma must be wary and afraid of her biological father, and having her by her side would
ring her some comfort.
After all, no one was capable of hurting their own children. So, she offered to protect her.
e emphasized that Salma was her only family and mother, and Salma alway fell for the emotional
tricks.
Sure enough, after hearing Jodie’s words, Salma’s expression softened.
Indeed, Jo was just a kid back then. What her parents did had nothing to do with her.
Salma didn’t know what to do now.
She didn’t dare to continue living in this villa, but she couldn’t bring herself to go back to the Gray Family either.
She needed someone to keep her company, someone who could provide her with some comfort. ?
Especially new that Jodie only had her as family. Jodie would rely on her and listen to her in the future.

However, the uneasiness in her heart remained. She said coldly, “I’ll give year one last chance. You are not

Jodie wiped away her tears and smiled. “Thank you, Mom. From now on, I’ll listen to everything you say.”
The two of them packed up and moved to a large apartment in the city center owned by Salma.
While Jodie was tidying up her room, Salma instructed the two maids who were supposed to accompany them to keep eye on
Jodic.

Meanwhile one drove to the outskirts of the city.
At a high ay service area, she found Bailey sitting and drinking coffee.
She walked ov and asked, “Bailey, did you get rid of the person who was supposed to take you to the ancient tomb?
They had discussed this beforehand. If someone suddenly wanted to divert Bailey’s attention, he would pretend to follow along.
But halfway through, he would find a way to leave and not actually go with them.
After all, Mr. Lewis and the people behind him had always been interested in Bailey’s physique.
If he had gone along, it would have been risky if they had set a trap to deal with him. Even though his strength was formidable,
he couldn’t afford to underestimate the situation.
Bailey nodded. “I used an illusion. He drove himself to the ancient tomb.”
Simon thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go, get in the car and head back
Bailey stood up and said, “Okay.”
his was not an appropriate place to talk.
After getting in the car, Simone asked, “Magnus is the person who diverted your attention. Does that mean I is the mastermind
behind everything?”
Bailey pondered for a moment and replied, “It seems so.”
Simone curiously asked, “Is there any connection between Magnus and Mr. Lewis?”
If Magnus was the mastermind, then her master’s death was likely related to him. So, she didn’t want to address him as her
master anymore.

Bailey replied, “They have a master-disciple relationship. After I woke up, I saw Magnus, Sage, and master. Then, I confirmed
that they were the juniors of my sect. Your master had the highest talent and was the most upright, focusing solely on cultivation.
Afterwards, they all achieved the Divine State. And they had their own opportunities, which allowed them to live inis era. Mr.

Lewis became Magnus disciple alter achieving the Divine State, but his talent was much inferior to the other three. He also liked
to scheme, and a little over a hundred years ago, he became the president. Not long after, Magnus became the vice president,
mainly to protect his disciples. But their relationship as master and disciple is unknow to oders. They don’t have a deep
relationship; it seems like they are just casual acquaintances”

Then he came up with a mod of using luck stealing to convert lifespan. He learned a secret technique and found a loophole to

his lifespan so that he wouldn’t be directly punished by heaven’s laws. At that time, your master and I both opposed it and
wanted to stop him. But Magnus took out the sect leader’s token and ordered us not to interfere. In our sect, we all took an oath

Bailey added, “Now that we’re no longer in Cubilis, I am not considered to be disobeying the sect leader’s orders.
Upon hearing his words, Simone pondered for a moment and said, ‘I see. So, it seems that Magnus is the main culprit.”
She asked, “What about my other master?”

Bailey replied, “I don’t know much about Sage. I have hardly seen him a few times. He rarely visits Cubilis and mostly stays in
his Cloudmist Observatory. So, I am unsure if he and Magnus are collaborating.
