A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 403 A Self-directed Scheme

An hour later, Amelie exited the conference room.

“What is the result? Did you figure out who did it?” Melissa staggered as she approached Amelie and inquired.

Amelie shook her head. “Everyone who came has an alibi, and the surveillance camera in the room was inexplicably broken. Nothing was recorded.”

“Why did it turn out like this?” Melissa appeared very worried.

However, Jodie snorted. “Why not? You’re just trying to shift the blame, Amelie. Others might be ignorant but I’m not. You did this because you covet my brother’s property! You want to kill him, so you came up with such a self-directed scheme!”

“Jodie!” Melissa reminded her and gave her a look to shut her up.

Jodie, of course, was reluctant. “Did I say anything wrong? This is the VIP floor. Who could easily come here and do something bad? Except for Amelie, who else is capable of this? Mom, I warned you not to put too much faith in this woman. She claims she is uninterested in our family property, but she has long coveted it. Who in this world dislikes money?” Jodie sounded aggressive, and she even glared at Amelie. “Furthermore, even if she didn’t do it for the money, she despises Leo because of how he has treated her in the past. Of course, she wants to kill Leo and us to exact revenge!”

Amelie had lost the desire to refute Jodie’s outlandish claims, so she simply let Jodie be.

However, Jodie behaved more outrageously seeing Amelie remain silent. “Mom, look at that. She’s struck speechless. She’s already admitted to it!”

“Zip it!” Melissa gave several warnings whenever Jodie spoke more nonsense, and she even made a gesture as if to slap Jodie.

Consequently, Jodie felt much aggrieved, and she kept pursing her lips. “Just wait and see. I’ll expose her true colors one day!” After that, she snorted and left while pushing her wheelchair forward.
