A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181

Amelie almost fainted from the foul smell coming from Fernando’s mouth. In that instant, she urgently dodged to the side while quickly pondering upon how she could break free from his clutches. She began to accumulate strength in her hands.

However, before she was able to swing her fist at him, she heard an agonized scream, saw Fernando being thrown out from the side, and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Amelie was utterly dumbstruck by this turn of events. She glanced down at her fist and wondered if it gathered strength and hit Fernando with the aura just like those superhumans in Marvel movies. Then, just as she was lost in her thoughts, she heard him yelling in pain again.

She instinctively looked up and saw a figure standing in front of Fernando, kicking him brutally. The kicks got stronger every time they landed on Fernando’s body till he cried pathetically as he pleaded for mercy.

She had to squint her eyes due to the dim lighting and scrutinize the face of the man who was kicking Fernando. And she could not help but gasp when she saw his face. The man who was kicking Fernando was none other than Leo.

Leo was ruthless, his attacks on Fernando seemed endless, and it didn’t look like he was stopping any time soon. His lips were tightly pressed together like a sharp blade, his eyes emanated immense coldness as if he was the devil, and his face was tense. Finally, Fernando got so beaten up that he no longer had any strength to fight back.

This was the first time she had seen Leo so bloodthirsty and merciless. Of course, she had known him for a long time but did not know that he could fight that well. Leo did not stop kicking Fernando until his nose and face were broken and swollen.

Leo then ordered the bodyguards, who came over after hearing the commotion, to drag Fernando away. It wasn’t until he and the bodyguards faded out of sight that Amelie regained her senses. She felt the need to thank Leo. After all, he helped her escape the situation, even though she knew martial arts and did not need Leo’s help.

“Thank—”

She was just about to thank him when Leo scoffed sarcastically and cut her off, “So, the so-called you-can-support-Bria-yourself is actually via this way?”

“What?” Her heart dropped when she heard him say that, and she looked at him, puzzled. Yet, he remained distant and emanated a cold aura around him. His words were even more piercing and heartless than before.

He then continued, “I don’t care how you want to mess with your life, but my daughter will not live in this environment. So, you should get rid of this dirty lifestyle if you really want to live with her. Otherwise, I will take her away from you!” Finally, he left the scene without a moment of hesitation.

Amelie was still in shock at Leo’s sharp words. She could not comprehend what he was on about, but somehow the puzzlement in her eyes turned into astonishment seconds later. She finally realized that he was mocking her for using her body to make money, and this realization made her enraged. And the angrier she got, the calmer she became.

She stood upright and looked directly at Leo’s back indifferently. “So, do you really think that I have no other way to support myself other than engaging in prostitution?”

Her words managed to make Leo pause for a moment. But instead of replying, he merely continued striding forward. Her heart sank, and she clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles creaked in protest as she stared at his back, which was moving further and further away.

She sneered coldly.

Leo initially planned to get some fresh air and did not expect that he would encounter such an incident. So, his mood got even worse when he returned to the room. He did not say a word as he sat on the couch, looking extremely exhausted. He thought of how Amelie fell into the arms of the man, looking all fragile, and the look on the man’s face, who wanted to devour her.
