Chapter 402 Things Are Getting Out Of Hand 

Teresa was so furious that she staggered backward.

They were only trying to do what was best for their daughter by getting rid of that troublemaker so that

th mother and daughter would no longer be estranged. But, their daughter had the audacity to accusethem of forcing her and causing her harm.

Teresa’s face wore a cold expression as she said, “If you don’t get rid of that troublemaker, don’t consiler me your mother anymore.”

Austin chimed in. “Your mother’s decision is also mine. If you continue to interfere with Jodie, I will nolonger recognize you as my daughter, and we won’t welcome you into our family anymore.”

Salma was even more heartbroken. “You are being too harsh. Do you want to see me tormente todeath by insects that what would make you happy? It’s a simple matter that could be resolved, ye youblame everything one”

“To hasn’t done anything to harm you. Why do you have to target her? She’s still my daughter, and Iwon’t give up on her,” she died.

Austin was furious and couldn’t believe he had raised such a daughter. He pointed to the door. “If youcan’t give up, Jodie, then you’re choosing to give up on your family. Go, and don’t come to our homeagain.”

Salma was also furious. Her parents believed in others but not in her. They were so heartless.

Of course, she didn’t really think they meant it. They were just trying to scare and threaten her.

How could they possibly disown their own daughter? she thought.

Even if Simone treated her this way, as long as she apologized afterward, she could still be accepted.After all, they were blood relatives.

Thus, she stubbornly declared, “Fine, I’ll leave.”

“I will prove to you that I do not intend harm to Elbert. I’ll seek a master to lift the curse from him,” sheemphasized further.

With that said, Salma confidently walked out of the room in her high heels.

Staying long would only make things more awkward and uncomfortable for her. Each one of them,without understanding or empathy, continued to force her.

Therefor her father’s words provided her with the much-needed excuse to leave promptly.

At thi nent, they were all worked up, and anything she said would be deemed wrong.

Once the master came to help Elbert lift the curse, her family would likely calm down and forgive her.

Seeing his daughter actually leave, Austin almost fainted from anger.

“Unfilial daughter, such an unfilial daughter. Our Johnston Family cannot tolerate such ughter. Now thatshe’s gone, she better not cry and regret it later.”

He added. There’s no remedy for regret in this world. Even if she regrets it, I won’t recognize her as myda ghter.”

If their daughter continued to behave like this, not only would she bring trouble to the Gray Family, but

might also cause harm to the Johnston Family.

Since Salma chose to give up on them so decisively, Austin wanted her to know that cutting off ties wasnot just an empty threat or talk, but rather, they were serious.

He instructed Nicholas, “Son, as soon as you get home, inform all our relatives that Salma and we, theJohnston Family, have no relation anymore. Also, tell your brother-in-law while you’re at it.”

As for the roject between the Gray Family and Johnston Family, stop it immediately while the lossesare stil manageable.” He added, “If she chooses Jodie, then let her live her life with that adopted daighter

Trom now on.

Since Salma couldn’t listen to the advice of those who truly cared about her and insisted on continuing.she would have to face the consequences herself.

Bridgette and Salma ha good relationship, and the latter hoped that Bridgette would often help her withfamily matters. So, Bridgette gave her husband a meaningful look.

She also stepped in, saying, “Mom and Dad, please calm down. This matter isn’t worth cutting ties. It’snot necessary.”

Oliver added, “Yeah, once you cool off, it won’t be a big deal. There’s no need to make it so tense,dragging my brother-in-law and the Gray Family into it. It’s unnecessary”

As for the project with the Gray Family, he planned to advocate handling it on his own. It couldn’t justcome to a halt.

Austin, however, wasn’t oblivious to their subtle intentions. He sternly stated, “If you continue advocatfor her, with all your scheming, you can leave the Johnston Family. I’ll cut ties with my own sons, andcan take your shares and get lost.”

Oliver was a bit of a slacker, and Bridgette wasn’t very attentive either.

Initially, Austin had hoped that Nicholas’ family would look out for Oliver’s family, but now, it seemedlike it was time to seriously consider the idea of separating the family.

Upon hearin Austin express this sentiment, Oliver and Bridgette immediately had a change ofexpression.

Oliver wa quick to say, ‘Alright, alright, Dad. Whatever makes you happy.”

He ched his tone. “If you want to disown Salma, go ahead; her actions were indeed too much.”

After healing this, Austin grew even more furious.

If Oliver had stood firm and continued supporting his sister, there would have been some humanity left,but with just one threat, he immediately changed his stance. Truly unreliable

Even Bridgette dared not say anything because she was afraid that Austin, in his anger, actually kickthem out. anger from within himself, he wouldn’t be able to get over it.

And then there is Jodie who is always hiding behind the scenes causing mischief. Nicholas wonderedhow his brother-in-law would handle such a situation.

Bridgette, standing on the side, agreed. “Yes, if we’re going to cut ties, let’s do it cleanly. I’ll als informmy family that it’s no longer necessary to cooperate with the Gray Family in the future.”

Whether it was venting anger or seeking revenge, it didn’t matter. There was no need for furtherdealings with the Gray

Upon hearing their word. Titus and his two siblings knew that things had escalated.

What was Mom thinking. Did she really believe that Grandpa and the others were just talking? WhenSimone said she wanted to sever ties before and actually did it, shouldn’t Mom have learned herlesson? But now, she has managed to offend all of her family members on her own, thought Titus.

Aaron feigned a pitiful expression and pleaded, “Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Nicholas, Aunt Bridgette, ifyou decide to sever ties with my mother, please don’t sever ties with us as well.” He added, “We havealso been abandoned by our mother.”

Austin chuckled and said in a reassuring voice, “Don’t worry, I still acknowledge my three grandchildrenas family.”

He then turned to Simone and added, “And Simone, even though you may no longer acknowledge, theJohnston Family will always welcome you.”

Simone smiled without saying anything.

It was evident that the Johnston Family was resolute this time, and it was satisfying to see that Salmahad ruined her own relationship with her family.
