My Sugar And Your Spice

"Do you have to do this to her? All she did was provoke you. How inhumane of you to break both her legs!" Melissa clenched her fists, causing her manicure to break. However, she didn't notice and continued, "You deliberately took her here and hurt her. Are you showing off? Do you think we are easy to mess with, Amelie?"

Hearing her accusations, Amelie felt speechless and resigned.

"I understand you are upset, Mrs. Alston. However, I must clarify that I have nothing to do with this." As she spoke, she pursed her lips and suppressed her anger, trying to soften her voice. "As you say, the Alston Family isn't one to be messed with. Thus, I'm not that stupid to do anything." Then, she smiled politely and walked away.

Initially, Melissa was going to go and give her another scolding. However, on second thought, she felt that Amelie was right. This is an illegal matter. There is no way Amelie can get away from the law even if she is filthy rich. Moreover, even if she wants to go against Jodie, she won't do it in her place. If that's the case… Who would have done this?

Melissa knew Leo would investigate this matter, so she didn't think much about it. After all, she still had to worry about Jodie.

What will Jodie become in the future? Now that her legs are broken, no man will want to marry her. Jodie's life is ruined. Moreover, I have endured so much and finally can get my happy ending. However, now that this has happened… What will others think about me?

…

On the other hand, Amelie hailed another cab. When she got into the car, she closed her eyes and rested.

The police had called her and said that the river wasn't the first scene where Jodie had been hurt. There was a possibility that someone had moved her there. However, they still hadn't confirmed how they moved Jodie over.

As she recalled the police's words, she rubbed her temples. Questions filled her mind.

Lumaria wasn't a big country, so Jodie had no reason to travel there. Moreover, Leo said she showed up at Lumaria after escaping from the bodyguards. As Amelie thought about it, she had a gut feeling that the mastermind behind it was hoping she would be in contact with the Alston Family again by making this mess. However, she couldn't figure out who would do such a thing.

Just as she was thinking, her phone rang. "Hello?" she answered.

"Hey, Amelie. It's me, Chandler." On the other end of the phone, Chandler's soft voice rang. "I heard that something happened to Jojo at Lumaria. Is she okay? I'm sorry for bothering you at this hour. I was going to visit her, but I was afraid that Leo would be unhappy about it."

Since Amelie was unfamiliar with him, she didn't say much and told him to look for Melissa.
