A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 The Child Must Stay

Jodie was cursing loudly but Melissa did not seem to hear it.

From her point of view, Bria had been affected by Amelie in a negative way, and the girl should begin to accept the teachings of the Alston Family.

Anyway, the balcony was equipped with soundproof glass, and it was far away from other buildings, so no matter how much Jodie cursed, she would not be heard by outsiders.

Jodie had found a punching bag and naturally spared no effort.

She even stretched out her hand to poke Bria’s forehead.

“Sure enough.

What Amelie produced is useless!”

Bria glared at her with red eyes.

“Look, look! She’s become rotten due to Amelie’s bad teachings!” Jodie pointed again.

In the past, Bria was timid and afraid.

She never dared to stare at Jodie like this.

Then, Jodie twisted Bria’s ear and pushed her against the wall.

“You’d better stand here for a time-out, or I will starve you to death!”

Leila stood outside the door.

Watching Bria being bullied like this, she could only shake her head and sigh.

Nevertheless, she was just a servant, so what could she do? It was not until she saw that the clock struck eleven that she breathed a sigh of relief and walked over.

“Bria, it’s time to go.”

“Go? Where are you going?” Jodie just finished teaching Bria a lesson, and she finally felt a little better.

Now that Leila was taking Bria away, Jodie was naturally unhappy.

“Mr. Leo called earlier and told me to send Bria to the door at this hour.

Miss Dillon is waiting,” Leila hurriedly mentioned Leo.

Jodie actually did not like children at all and wished Bria could just disappear from her sight.

But suddenly, a toxic plan came to her mind.

Since Amelie treated her like that, she wanted to take revenge.

The highest means of revenge was to inflict pain on the people Amelie cared about the most.

In this case, Bria was the perfect subject.

Thinking of this, Jodie quickly ran to Melissa and tugged on the corner of her mother’s clothes.

“Mom, what is going on with Leo? Bria is the flesh and blood of our Alston Family! How can Amelie take her away?”

At that moment, Melissa’s expression was not pretty.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with his brain.

Isn’t he afraid of gossip when an Alston descendant is sent out into the world like that?”

Although she did not like Bria, reputation was the most important thing.

“Miss Potts, Bria isn’t going anywhere! She will just stay at home!” she ordered.

“This isn’t appropriate.” Leila stopped helplessly and looked at Bria uneasily.

“Miss Dillon is waiting outside.

So, what if she causes trouble?”

“Tell her to come in and I’ll inform her myself.” Melissa spread her body and responded coldly.

Leila had no choice but to walk out empty-handed to find Amelie.

When Amelie followed Leila in, Melissa was leisurely leaning on the couch like a queen, looking elegant.

As for Jodie and Bria, both had disappeared.

“Mrs.

Alston, Miss Dillon is here.” Leila saw that Melissa did not plan to get up, so she could only inform her.

Then, Melissa pointed and gestured for Leila to leave.

Leila glanced at Amelie worriedly, but Amelie nodded her chin gently toward her, mouthing “I’m fine”.

Thus, Leila turned and left.

Melissa finally sat upright, but she did not give Amelie any attention.

She simply held a cup and drank tea by herself.

“Where’s Bria?” Amelie asked, not in the mood to play with Melissa.

Melissa frowned out of dissatisfaction with Amelie’s rudeness.

“Greeting the host is the most basic form of courtesy.”

Ha.
