A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 Cold Blooded and Ruthless, It Was Her!

Melissa was startled by the sound and her heart raced as she looked up.

She saw Jodie gripping the handles of the wheelchair while staring at her in disbelief.

Melissa was shocked to her core. She jumped. “How did you get out?”

Jodie was locked up in the room by her, so she couldn’t get out.

She had no intention of answering Melissa and stared at her. “Mom, explain to me. Why did you sell the company’s shares?”

Jodie’s brain was usually slow, but at this moment, she connected the dots in just a moment.

Realizing all of this, she was so shocked that she almost sprung up from the wheelchair. “You used me! You…”

Melissa was also shocked when she heard Jodie say this.

She did use Jodie.

She thought Jodie was stupid enough that she would never figure it out. It turned out she did!

Jodie looked at her mother incredulously and said, “I thought I was cold-blooded, heartless, and inhuman enough, but it turns out that it’s you who’s truly inhuman!”

She couldn’t stop shaking her head and shedding tears. All she could think about was the conversation she overheard between Melissa and a lawyer the other day.

The lawyer said that Leo had transferred all his shares to Amelie, which meant Jodie and Melissa had nothing left.

At that time, she thought it was just a conversation she had eavesdropped on. Now, she realized Melissa had purposely allowed her to overhear it!

Melissa wanted to stir up her hatred and make her take action against her brother!

She was stupid and fell for it!

“How could you? How could you do this?” At this point, Jodie couldn’t even cry.

After Melissa’s fear had dissipated, she finally calmed down.

Jodie is just a fool. She’s easy to deal with, she thought.

Melissa slowly approached her and said, “Jojo, listen to me. I did this for our sake.”

“Stop fooling me!” Even if Jodie was foolish, she still had basic analytical skills.

In this matter, she didn’t get any benefits at all.

“Why would you kill your own son? What did you do? Was it Ashton who called you just now? What did he say that made you so flustered?”

“You don’t have to guess. I didn’t do anything. Jojo, listen to me. Sell your shares and come with me. We won’t have to worry for the rest of our lives.”

Melissa tried to comfort her, but Jodie no longer trusted her. She pushed Melissa away and shouted, “Don’t touch me!”

“If you don’t want to tell me, I’ll ask Ashton myself!”

Jodie said as she pushed her wheelchair toward the door.

A flash of malice flickered in Melissa’s eye before she kicked the wheelchair.

Jodie fell to the ground.

Melissa stepped forward and grabbed her neck. “Listen to me. You better stay put and not ask any questions. Otherwise, you’ll end up in hell with your filthy dad!”

“Filthy dad? My father…”

Jodie was stunned to hear Melissa use such vicious words to insult her father.

After a while, she finally understood what was going on. “You hate… my father.”

“He’s useless! Of course, I hate him!” Melissa had been suppressing her resentment for years. She couldn’t control herself anymore and shouted, “I asked him to fight for the family property, but he wanted to leave it to his brother. What a fool! So, I took matters into my own hands and tampered with his brakes. I only wanted to injure him, but he died because of his bad luck. It’s not my fault!”

Jodie looked at her mother in shock.

She already knew that Melissa was not a good person, but she never expected she could be so malicious.

After my father’s death, the blame naturally fell on my uncle, who had a relationship of interest with my father. Melissa presented a file of evidence. She cried and pleaded with my grandfather, refusing to let my uncle take over the position of the president of Genesis Company. Grandfather also believed her and expelled my uncle’s family from the country.

To make up for Melissa’s loss of her husband, he gave the inheritance of Genesis Company to her. During that incident, Leo also injured his eyes and was sent to a remote area.

After all these years, Melissa did not regret her evil deeds and even blamed Leo for her husband’s death.

Jodie seemed to have become smart suddenly. She exposed all the evil deeds Melissa had done.

Melissa sneered. She didn’t care. “Let me tell you something else. I even brought Ashton in. I had him locate Amelie to test her intentions on the Alstons shares. When I found out she didn’t care, I found a way to get her to give me her shares.”

Leo had originally drafted this contract in an attempt to win back Amelie’s heart. Later, when she went abroad, this matter was dropped. He never mentioned it again and the contract was kept in a safe.

Melissa gave the lawyer a lot of benefits. After she found out about this matter, she asked the lawyer to give the contract to Amelie.

She then took the contract from Amelie to prevent her from tearing it up.

Later, she instigated Jodie to take action against her brother, both to appease Jodie and get Amelie to transfer the shares to her.

Now, this was the last step.

Although Amelie had been avoiding talking about this matter, Melissa still had her confidence in this.
