Chapter 315 They Regret It, Too
Aaron was taken aback when he witnessed Andrew’s behavior.
Was he heavily impacted by Jodie’s provocation? “Andrew, are you alright?”
Enduring the pain, Andrew replied, “I’m not alright. It hurts a lot.”
While Aaron was concerned, he couldn’t help but nag at him. “Aren’t you being too foolish? I’ve warned you all along, but you just didn’t believe me. She borrowed your luck and even forced you to wear a mystical tool that could backfire you, yet you still haven’t learned your lesson.”
If only he had listened to them and distanced themselves from Jodie, this wouldn’t have happened.
During the competition, he could’ve used the excuse of falling off the horse and getting injured to rest, but he insisted on following Jodie’s advice and riding the horse until the end.
“Have you ever considered that this would be the outcome of persisting until the end?”
Andrew forced a bitter smile. “Who could’ve expected something like this?”
“Well, only in this way can I see her cold and heartless nature. Otherwise, no matter how hard you try to persuade me, I wouldn’t have wanted to think poorly of her.”
He still couldn’t comprehend Jodie’s actions to this moment. “Ever since she came to our house, we have treated her so well. I don’t understand why she treats us so cruelly.”
Aaron pondered for a moment. “Maybe it’s because we spoiled her too much and made her believe that our efforts for her are only natural. It has nothing to do with how we raised her because her nature is simply cold and heartless. When we treat her well, she thinks it’s what she deserves, but as soon as we become distant and cold, she feels wronged and blames us.”
After listening to Aaron’s words, Andrew suddenly had an epiphany.
Was that what it was? No wonder when he got injured, Jodie didn’t care about his injuries but instead felt wronged because of his words.
She was blaming him again. He didn’t even know how bad his injuries were, yet she still blamed him. It was simply ridiculous. His care and concern for her over the years only made him look like a clown.

Chapter 315 They Regret It, Too
Aaron didn’t expect Andrew to ask that question.
He thought for a moment before answering, “She would most likely do her best to protect us. Instinctively, she might push us off the horse and bear the burden herself, or maybe she would pull us off the horse together. One thing’s for sure. She definitely wouldn’t use us as a shield. Moreover, I reckon she’d do the same before cutting ties with us even if we did recognize her after she went missing after years.
He continued, “You asked me this question because you were comparing Jodie to Simone in your mind, but in reality, you already have the answer, don’t you?”
Andrew’s smile grew bitter. “Yes.”
He had imagined several possibilities in his mind, but none of them involved Simone doing what Jodie had just done.
“Aaron, I regret it now. I regret treating Simone like I did because of Jodie.”
Since Simone was blood-related to him, and he had shared a bond with Jodie for over a decade, he took Simone for granted and hurt her without hesitation. He deserved to suffer such consequences.
Aaron also wore a bitter smile on his face. “Yes. We both regret it. But what’s the use of regretting? The damage has already been done. Simone will never forgive us. Let me ask you a question. Will you forgive Jodie and treat her as you did before?”
Andrew felt even more distressed upon hearing that question. “No, I won’t. It’s no wonder that Simone treats us this way. In the past, I couldn’t understand why she would cut ties with us, even though we are blood-related; I couldn’t fathom how she no longer treated us as affectionately as before and even started to become cold and cruel to us. But after the earlier events, I finally came to a realization. Only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. It is only now that I understand her choices. Without experiencing others’ suffering, one cannot advise others to be kind. I understand now. It’s just a pity that I understood it too late.”
After saying so much, accompanied by feelings of regret and remorse, Andrew suddenly coughed violently, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth.
His whole b*dy twisted in excruciating pain, and the pain was so unbearable that it could almost take his life.
His affection for Jodie completely vanished at that moment.
The doctor immediately took emergency measures for Andrew and advised him not to speak
anymore.
Aaron, seeing this, stopped talking to him and presented a look of anxiety.
Andrew’s injuries were too severe, and it was unknown if his life was in danger.
In another country. Titus and Luca were dumbfounded when they witnessed what happened at the polo field. They had anticipated that Andrew would have a tough time, but they didn’t expect it to be this tragic.
Luca’s face was filled with mixed emotions as he commented, “Jodie is simply ruthless.”
Only enemies would do such things. How could she treat Andrew, who loved her the most, like this?
Titus was also shocked by Jodie’s ruthlessness. “She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, cunning and heartless.
Once again, he was grateful that he wasn’t on Jodie’s side. Otherwise, he couldn’t imagine the consequences he would face. Judging by Andrew’s reaction, he must have realized his mistake, Luca remarked.
The last sentence Andrew spat indicated that he had completely lost hope in her.
Titus sneered, “If he continues to protect her, then he is beyond redemption.”
After that, the two of them witnessed the scene in the ambulance.
They felt uneasy upon hearing Andrew’s statements because they regretted what they had. done as well.
However, it was too late for regrets. The damage had already been done, and they couldn’t undo Simone’s choices.
It was their own doing, and they had to accept it, no matter how reluctant they were.
Watching Andrew coughing up blood with a pale face and how he contorted in pain, the doctors rushed to provide emergency treatment.
His condition instantly worried the two brothers, so they called Aaron and told him to keep them updated on Andrew’s condition.
Although they had wanted to watch Andrew suffer, they never expected him to end up in such a miserable state.
At that moment, Titus and Luca experienced a newfound disgust toward Jodie. It was a feeling they had never felt before.
Previously, they had only felt disappointed by her true colors and had only wanted to distance themselves from her, but they hadn’t truly considered taking any action toward her
Now, they genuinely loathed her from the depths of their hearts and simply wanted her to leave the house as soon as possible.
Keeping her around would only cause a catastrophe.
In another country, their parents were shocked when they witnessed the scene on the live broadcast
Clearly, they hadn’t expected Jodic to behave in such a manner.
While they were furious, they were also deeply concerned about their son’s injuries.
Steven, who had initially planned to switch off his phone, decided against it.
Instead, he contacted Aaron and requested to be kept updated on Andrew’s condition.
Then, he turned to Salma, whose expression was grim, and said, “I understand that you were hesitant to let go of Jodie before, and you felt relieved since I didn’t insist on sending her away. I even hired a tutor to teach her manners. It was not only for her good but also to prove whether she deserved to be one of us. But after everything that has happened, we can no longer keep such a disaster in our house. I have asked my secretary to book tickets for us to return to Cubilis today. We’ll visit Andrew there.
He was extremely worried about his son’s severe injuries and whether his life was in danger.
On the other hand, Salma’s eyes flickered. Now that her previous thoughts were exposed by her husband, she felt somewhat embarrassed.
This time, Jodie had indeed crossed the line, so she nodded and agreed, “Alright. I will follow your lead. After this reality show shooting is over and she returns to Cebros, I will send her
away.
She didn’t really want to go back to Cubilis because the commotion caused by this incident would surely lead to criticism from her in-laws at Gray Manor. Her friends and acquaintances in their social circle would also bring this up.
However, when her husband mentioned going back, she dared not defy him. Moreover, she was also quite worried about her son’s condition.
