A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116

Amelie turned around to see an icy look on the gorgeous man’s face. “You have to help me, Leo!” Jodie clung to Leo with tears in her eyes. However, when she turned around to look at Amelie, there was a provocative and smug look in Jodie’s eyes. She had intended to pick a fight with Amelie, but she no longer saw a need to do that since Leo was here.

“Amelie is too much. I’m your sister, yet she still dares to lay her hands on me! She has no regard for us at all!” Jodie cried. Leo turned around to glare at Amelie, but she simply wore a blank and calm look on her face. He couldn’t seem to read her expression at all. “Are you sure you want to help Jodie this time?” Amelie asked.

“Leo’s my brother. Of course, he’ll help me! Do you think he’d be on an outsider’s side instead?” Jodie was worried that Amelie would reveal why she had been slapped in the first place, so she interrupted the conversation before Amelie could say anything. Amelie simply sneered and glared at Jodie before walking up to Leo. “Hit me, then.” She shut her eyes while standing before him with a calm expression.

Did she just tell Leo to hit her? Jodie had prepared all sorts of accusations to target Amelie, but she hadn’t expected Amelie to give in just like that. She was too stunned to speak for a moment. Leo pushed Jodie aside as he continued to glare at Amelie. “I don’t hit women. But… what exactly happened?”

“Who knows?! Amelie just came up and hit me for no reason!” Amelie showed no intention of explaining the situation, while Jodie was eager to speak up for herself. “Even if you don’t hit women, you can’t let her get away with this, Leo. Who knows what she might do in the future?!” Jodie cried.

“Let’s check the CCTV, he suggested. Jodie was speechless after that. Is he suggesting we check the CCTV even though Amelie’s not speaking up for herself? I can’t believe this. “What do you mean, Leo? Do you not trust me? I’m your sister!” she cried. However, he merely ignored his sister’s protests and asked for the workers.

enough, the workers came and presented him with the CCTV footage.

The CCTV showed Amelie approaching Jodie. Both women didn’t say much to one another before Amelie hit Jodie. “Did you see that, Leo?! Amelie was the one who bullied me!” Jodie had been terrified at first, but she was pleased to find out that the CCTVs hadn’t recorded their conversation. This was advantageous to her.

“Were you guys talking about Bria?” Leo asked all of a sudden. Jodie had been doing the victory dance inside her head, but it all abruptly halted when she heard his words. She was lost for words as her mind instantly went blank, and all she could hear at that moment was the loud ringing sound formed in her mind due to shock. She stared at Leo with a fearful look on her face. His gaze was still fixed on the two women on the screen, and he seemed to be reading their lips!

The footage clearly showed both the women’s faces, and it was clear that Jodie had a haughty and rude expression on her face. He could already guess the contents of the conversation from the words he read through their lips. “Did you do something to Bria, Jodie?”

“W-Well… I…” She didn’t have the guts to say much else. Leo turned around to glare at his sister at that point, wearing a fierce look on his face. Jodie had always been terrified of her brother, and now that he was giving her the hard stare, she panicked and tried to defend herself, “Well, Amelie made me feel uncomfortable, and she bullied me. I’m only trying to-”

Leo had been making a wild guess at first, but her words had confirmed his suspicions! “She was the one who bullied you, so you should get back at her, not the kid! Why did you have to hurt the child? You’re the child’s aunt!” he hissed. Jodie was too terrified to utter a single word after that. She didn’t even dare to look into his eyes.

“Are things settled now? I can leave, right?” Amelie ignored the tension between the siblings as she interrupted their conversation in a calm tone. She turned and left after finishing her words. She had just opened her car door when Leo came after her. “Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”
