In their room, Simone noticed Keira staring at her. Simone smiled and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?

Keira didn’t hold back. “I never expected to uncover the gossip between you and Leon.” She had suspected something was off with Leon, and now she knew he and Simone had a history.

Simone shrugged off the revelation. “Impulsive decisions from our youth.”

Keira looked at Simone’s nonchalant demeanor and chuckled. “Who hasn’t fallen for a scoundrel in their younger days? It’s all about cutting your losses in time.” Her own past had seen her betrayed by a boyfriend, so she held a particular disdain for individuals like Leon, who, despite having a girlfriend, became involved with other women.

The recording in Simone’s hands would undoubtedly have an impact on Jodie. He wanted to keep. Jodie and Simone in his life, so he even asked Simone to delete the recording. This kind of scoundrel

was the worst.

Simone agreed, nodding. “Exactly, cutting losses in time is the way to go.”

Keira thought for a moment and couldn’t resist asking, “Did you and Aaron ever have a thing?” She noticed the man’s behavior, acting cute and dependent on Simone, which wasn’t typical of friends.

Simone chuckled. “Impossible. He and I are related by blood.” This wouldn’t be a secret for much longer, so she didn’t mind telling Keira in advance. Keira didn’t strike her as someone who would betray her.

Keira’s eyes widened. “What? Are you and Aaron blood–related? You’re siblings?”

Simone nodded. “We used to be.”

Keira was puzzled. “Used to be?”

Simone explained, “Before joining this reality show, I severed all ties with him and our family.”

Keira asked, “Why? It wasn’t because of Jodie, was it?”

Simone hesitated, then replied, “Well, she was a big part of it.”

Keira sought clarification. “So, technically, you and Jodie are sisters?” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Simone shook her head. “No, she was adopted by my parents. I’m their biological child.” She continued, “But I got lost when I was little because of Aaron. It was only a year ago that my family found me. They believed I was somehow encroaching on Jodie’s place upon my return and were not pleased with it. They expected me to make way for her in every aspect, and I just couldn’t tolerate it, so I decided to sever ties with them.”

Keira didn’t expect the situation to be like this. She was appalled. “Your family is being completely

unreasonable.”

It was evident that Jodie had assumed Simone’s identity, yet the family expected Simone to make

amends for it. What was baffling was Aaron’s response, as he had lost his own sister due to his negligence and now showed favoritism toward Jodie, his adopted sister. It was indeed beyond

comprehension.

Simone smiled calmly. “I’ve chosen to pretend there’s no blood relation.”

Keira admired Simone’s open–mindedness. “You have a great attitude.” She was cautious about delving further into Simone’s personal life, sensing that it might be a sensitive topic. Seeing that Simone wasn’t inclined to elaborate, Keira changed the subject. “Simone, you mentioned before that you could read fortunes. Can you do it for me now?”

Simone nodded. “Sure.” She took a look at Keira’s face and then held Keira’s right hand. “Besides matters of the heart, everything else in your life is going smoothly,” she said.

Keira asked in surprise, “You can tell my love life isn’t going well?”

Simone replied, “Yes, from your facial features, you’ve experienced some heartbreak in love. You once had a romantic relationship, but it ended with betrayal from your partner, involving other women. What was once a loving connection has transformed into resentment.” She advised, “Although you’ve broken up, you should still be careful. He’s plotting against you.”

Keira was amazed. “You’re incredible. You got it all right.”

Her ex–boyfriend used to be her agent. He had helped her a lot in her career. Yet, after confirming their relationship, he secretly got involved with other women, more than just one.

He even claimed it was all just for fun when Keira found out. It disgusted her, and though she loved. him deeply, she chose to break up. Nonetheless, she also helped him make a lot of money. Through her family’s connections, she introduced him to many contacts. As a result, she felt no obligation toward him. Nevertheless, following their breakup, he persistently hounded her, which led her to participate in the reality show to escape his continued pursuit.

Keira asked, “You said he’s plotting against me?”

Simone nodded and explained, “Yes, he’s scheming to maximize his gains from your career. That’s why I strongly recommend you approach the company for a new agent.”

Keira hailed from an affluent family with numerous relatives working in the entertainment industry, yielding substantial influence. She was ‘a highly acclaimed and influential singer, making her a valuable .

Her astonishment grew when she realized that Simone had even discerned that her ex–boyfriend was her agent, a facet of her life known to very few.

So, Keira affirmed, “Alright, once I return to the city, I’ll initiate the process for a change. Initially, she had hesitated to sever ties directly, entertaining the notion of a professional relationship. Still, she could no longer tolerate the machinations of her former lover, who now sought to undermine her.

As the two women continued their conversation, their bond strengthened.

The following morning, Simone began her martial arts practice at the early hour of six.

Shortly after, Zac walked out of his room. He was initially taken aback after spotting her poised and graceful movements in the yard. However, he soon leaned against the door, enjoying the view.

Meanwhile, she had already noticed his presence but did not pause in her practice. After finishing her routine, she turned and asked, “Looks good?”

Zac smiled and nodded. “Looks great!” He even gave her a thumbs–up. “Simone, you’re amazing!”

Simone chuckled modestly. “Thank you for the compliment.” She asked, “Why are you up so early?”

He reminded her, “We agreed yesterday that I’d get up early today to help you make pierogi.”

She didn’t expect him to wake up so early to help her prepare pierogi. She said, “Alright. I’ll head to the kitchen to prepare things. Join me after you’ve freshened up.”

He nodded. “Alright.”

Simone washed her hands and went into the kitchen. She started kneading the dough and letting it rise. Zac came in, and she had him mince the meat.

The show’s camera crew followed, beginning the live broadcast and allowing the audience to watch as they made pierogi.

The morning livestream had a moderate audience, with thousands eagerly awaiting the broadcast. Once the camera went live, viewers were greeted by the sight of Simone deeply engrossed in kneading dough while Zac diligently minced meat.

Realizing that the live broadcast was on, she greeted everyone with a friendly smile.

Yesterday, some villagers had delivered meat, so she started cooking with it.

While working, she thoughtfully explained the cooking process, captivating the online viewers. Initially drawn in by the attractive pair in the kitchen, the audience soon found themselves enthralled by Simone’s culinary expertise. Although they had initially tuned in for her looks, they became increasingly engrossed in her instructions on preparing pierogi. In addition to the pierogi, she also prepared a pot of soup.

Meanwhile, Zac, assisting with the preparations, stood to the side, quietly observing Simone. He found her earnest and focused demeanor quite attractive.

Once the pierogi were ready, the others started to wake up and get ready.

As soon as the pierogi were ready, Zac intentionally arranged them on the table in the yard and beckoned Eric and Keira for breakfast. With a gracious gesture, Simone also brought out the pot of soup.

Zac was the first to sample Simone’s culinary creation. “Allow me to be the first to taste Simone’s masterpiece.” He took a bite, savoring the rich and fragrant filling. A satisfied grin spread across his face. “Delicious! These are undoubtedly the best pierogi I’ve ever had!”

Witnessing Zac’s enthusiasm, Eric and Keira eagerly tried the pierogi, their eyes lighting up with delight. “Incredible! These are absolutely amazing!”

When Leon and Aaron returned after freshening up, they saw the three happily enjoying the pierogi.

Wearing a sly grin, Zac deliberately locked eyes with them as he picked up another pierogi and took a bite. With an air of self–assuredness, he remarked, “These are truly exceptional. It’s a shame you can only watch.”

Leon and Aaron exchanged dark glances. They really wanted to punch this guy…
