A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117

*J-Jodie.” Carla fumbled with the strap of her handbag as she stood before Jodie in the cafe. She was too nervous to even look Jodie in the eye. Ever since Jodie last exposed her for what she did, she no longer had the nerve to show up before Jodie. She was terrified when she first received Jodie’s call earlier that day-she was worried that Jodie wanted to get even with her. Jodie was a calculative and unforgiving woman. She was known for being heartless and cruel in her attempts at revenge.

“Come here. Have some coffee.” To Carla’s surprise, Jodie was not her usual petty self. Instead, she seemed much more generous and welcoming. This only made Carla more fearful than ever. “I-I’m not thirsty. I-I’m sorry. I made a mistake, Jodie. Please…. I hope you don’t hold a grudge against me.” Carla was paralyzed with fear.

“Alright. I’ve completely forgotten about that.” Jodie walked over and pushed Carla down into her seat before placing a cup of coffee in front of her. Thud! The soft noise of the cup landing on the table made Carla jump. She helplessly reached out and held onto the cup of coffee, looking like she was about to cry.

Jodie, on the other hand, wasn’t in the mood to fool around with her. “Previously, you helped Elyse to make a fool out of me, and I was really angry. But now, I’m giving you a chance to set things right,” Jodie uttered while playing with her freshly styled hair. Carla immediately looked up at Jodie when she heard that Jodie was offering her an opportunity.

Jodie tapped her slender and fair fingers on the coffee cup before her. “I previously told you to hunt down the wife of Starlight Media’s boss, didn’t I? I’ll forget about what you did to me if you manage to find her,” she said.

“Huh? Why are you still looking for her?” Carla was stunned. “She already got a divorce with the boss of Starlight Media, so there’s no point in locating her anymore, isn’t it?”

“You don’t need to know the reason. Just locate her!” Jodie growled. Carla knitted her brows upon hearing the other woman’s words. “But Jodie, you know I don’t have many connections. How am I supposed to find her?”

“I don’t care how you’re going to do it. Just know I won’t allow you to stay in Clouson City if you don’t get the job done! I’ll kick your whole family out of the city!” Jodie got to her feet after she finished her sentence. “You should consider what I just said.”

Amelie was in no rush to head home. Instead, she paid a visit to Starlight Media. No one suspected that she was the boss of the place, and they merely assumed that she was there to meet Julia, as they all knew of the relationship between the two women. Julia wasn’t around, but Amelie had the password to her office. After letting herself into the office, she observed the live streams of all the broadcasting studios while waiting for Julia. Soon enough, Julia strutted into the room in formal attire with a short skirt.

When Julia saw Amelie, she flicked her shoulder-length curly hair while flashing a smirk at her friend. “Elie, do you know what I just heard? Your ex-sister-in-law is still searching for the wife of Starlight Media’s boss. She even made Carla cry in a café in public.”

“Is that so?” Amelie froze when she heard whom Jodie was searching for. Julia poured herself a glass of water before taking a seat in front of Amelie. “What do you think she’s trying to do?” she asked.

“What else could it be? She’s obviously trying to come after me,” Amelie replied with a blank look in her eyes. She curled her lips into a thoughtful smirk before she gave Julia a summary of what happened with Bria at school and how things went down with Jodie.
