A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 114

Amelie tilted her head just in time to get away from the slap, but she couldn’t evade the nails. It clawed across her cheeks, leaving a burning wound. Amelie stood still and finally saw who was standing before her. Jodie. “Are you mad, Jodie?” she roared.

Jodie’s eyes were flaring with fury. “I’m mad? Do you know what you just did, you whore? I thought you promised you would never see my brother again! But you just talked to him, didn’t you?”

Wait, what? Oh, oh, this is a misunderstanding. She calmed down and said, “It’s just a chance meeting.”

Jodie sneered. “As if.”

Welp, she doesn’t believe me. No point talking to her then. Amelie stared at the ground. “Fine. Ask your brother then. See what he has to say.”

“You could’ve stalked him for all he knew. And this chance encounter is probably something you’ve tried to pull off for some time now. He doesn’t know that, but I do. There’s no proof that you’re telling the truth.”

How on earth did she even come up with that? Oh, wait. Projection? No need to keep talking, then. She’s just going to twist everything I say to fit her narrative.

Oh, she’s not saying anything. I knew it. Jodie’s face contorted with rage. “So, you’ve chosen the hard way. Fine, one painful lesson coming your way.” She shot Amelie a nasty glare and stormed off into the distance.

Amelie shook her head. She didn’t care about this little episode, but that threat concerned her a little. I have a feeling she’s up to something. But nothing happened for a while, and Amelie put the whole thing behind her.

Finally, Bria healed up, and she said she wanted to go to school.

“You should stay Leo promised he wouldn’t try to take Bria away from you,” Julia said. “Your whole career is built on this land. And living near all the places you need is convenient. Besides, it’s a big city. You can’t run into him unless you want to.”
