After Rebirth She Strikes Back (Simone) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87

In Sumione’s mentory, Cyrus had always been so full of energy. This was the first time she’d ever seen him look so worn out. She frowned and asked, “Why do you look so pale!“

To get back sooner, Cyrus had been working almost around the clock, barely getting any rest. On top of that, he kept having dreams about Simone’s childhood, which left him anxious and on edge

He’d even ended up in the Elt during, so it was no wonder he looked so bad. Not wanting Simone to worry, Cyns forced a smile. “I just didn’t sleep. well last night. It’s nothing serious,” he said.

Simone shot him a look and let out a cold huff. She complained, “How many times have I told you to take care of yourself!” Her tone was awkward. andeven she didn’t realize how much concern was hidden in her words.

That Cyrus caught it right away. He froze for a verond, then his heart filled with joy, and a lot of the exhaustion he’d been carrying seemed to melt

away.

With a smile tugging at his lips and a sparkle in his eyes, he teased. “So you are finally starting t

to care about me. That makes me happy.”

Simone shot back, “1 am not worried about you!” Her eyes went wide, like a cat whose tail had just been stepped on

Eyrus couldn’t help but laugh. He said, “Alright, I must be imagining things. Come home with me now, okay?” After all, he’d come today just to rake

Simone back.

Before Cyrus could finish, a commanding voice rang out from upstairs, saying, “You’re not taking Simonel” Graham came hurrying down the stairs. He thought, If I hadn’t been awake and overheard, Cyrus probably would’ve already whisked Simone away!

Graham shot Cyrus a stern look, clearly annoyed. He said, “Cyrus, you go home by yourself. Simone’s staying here with me?

Cyrus was at a loss for words. He tried again, “Dad, Simone is my daughter. Can’t you be reasonable?” He couldn’t help but think, Dad never used to be like this. Is he just getting more stubborn with age?

Graham said, “She’s still my granddaughter! If you take her, who’s going to play chess with me? Who’ll go fishing with me?” He acted like a stubborn kid

Cyrus rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He said, “Dad, please don’t be so unreasonable” Then he turned to Simone and asked. Simone, do you want to stay at Irwin Mansion or come home with me?”

To Gymus, Simone’s wishes mattered most. He thought. ‘If she wants to stay at Irwin Mansion, that is fine, I can just move in too, if needed.

Simone glanced at Graham, then at Cyrus. Then she said to Cyrus, “I want to go home with you.” She hadn’t been back home in a long time and missed it

The moment Simone said she wanted to go home, Graham fell silent. Still, he grumbled under his breath, “Ungrateful brat. Go on, get out of here”

Then Graham pulled a bank card from his pocket and shoved it into Simone’s hand without giving her a chance to refuse. He said, “The password’s your birthday. Take it and get lost.” With that, he turned his hack and wouldn’t look at Simone.

In the past month, Graham had been pestering Simone to play chess and go fishing with him. Even though Simone always acted a bit reluctant. Graham could tell she was genuinely patient with him. It was something one rarely saw in young people these days.

Getting old meant feeling lonely and wanting company. Simone’s presence brought Graham a warmth and happiness he hadn’t felt in ages. Most importantly, Simone didn’t treat him like some scary ekler, just like a regular grandpa.

Wayne and Winona used to keep Graham company, too, but Graham could always sense they were more afraid of him than anything else.

Whenever they played cheis or went fishing, they’d always be watching Graham’s mood, worried he’d get upset. It felt more like dealing with a boss, jiolite, but never close.

Sunone accepted the bank card. She could feel Graham’s reluctance to let her go. Before leaving, she looked back k at him and said. “Tll come visit

“Go on, get out of here, Grabain said as he waved his hand disarmsively.

The day after she got back, Simone received a text message

Sebastian said. [Ms. Spence, Samuel is willing to give up 30% of the Spence Group’s shares to cover Jonas’s medical bills. But Jonas’s condition has gotten so bad that surgery might mat even be possibile. Only you can handle this. Should we Die the case!|

Chapter 57

Simone thought, “Fifty percent Samuel’s desperate. Without that half, the Spence Group’s done for. Perfect timing Strike while he’s down! She unsirked and quickly replied. Tell him to transfer the shares first.Į

Samuel transferred the shares in Sebastian that same day, and Sebastian handed them over to Simone.

With the shares in hand, Simone and Sebastian headed in the Spence Mansinn flut aftermon

“Simone? What are you doing here?” Samuel asked. He looked genuinely surprised to see

Simione

Sebastian shot Samuel a frosty glance and said, “Hrought her to check on your father. Is that a problem?”

“No problem at all. This way, please” Sammel replied. He assumed Simone was just tagging along with Sebastian and not thinking much of it

soon as Simone stepped inside, a reacup came flying straight at her.

Raymond stored over, grabbed Simone by the collar, and snarled, “Simone, you’ve got some nerve sh

showing up here!”

Sebastian was startled and was about to rush over to pull them apart.

But Samone was faster. She slapped Raymond hard across the face. Her voice was icy as she said, “If you don’t want your grandpa to die, get out of

Simone didn’t hold back k with that slap. Blood trickled from the corner of Raymond’s mouth. Raymond stood there, stunned, not reacting for a long moment.
