A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 119

“Aah! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Jodie cried.

She clung on tight to Amelie’s arm. Her entire body was trembling in fear while apologies kept streaming out of her mouth.

It was only then that Amelie withdrew her arm and flung her on the area protected by the railing. “Bria is where I draw the line. If you ever dare use her to cause trouble again, you will end up at the bottom of a cliff or a car wheel next time.”

She then walked away, not once looking at Jodie.

As for Jodie, she had been terrified to the core. Her body was shaking non-stop as she hugged herself. When Amelie finally walked out of her sight, she let out a loud wail.

One hour later, Jodie ran into Carla’s home and dragged her out of her bedroom by the hair.

“Damn you! How dare you scheme with Amelie against me! Do you want to die?” Jodie screeched.

She gnashed her teeth. Her face was thoroughly twisted like a crazy woman’s

Unable to move away, Carla’s only option was to cover her head with her hands as she pleaded as hard as she could. “I didn’t do it. I really didn’t. I don’t have her contact details. How could I have schemed with her? Anyway, even if she asks me to do it, I’m not brave enough to go against you.”

Hearing that, Jodie loosened her grip. Still, her face was twisted in anger. “How did she know I was looking for the wife of Starlight Media’s boss? Where did you get the phone number you gave me?”

Carla had long since grown terrified of Jodie’s cruelty. Her heart still quivered in fear as she massaged her aching scalp. “I really don’t know why she knows about that. I paid Julia for that number.”

Jodie was beyond herself in anger when she heard that and reacted by harshly slapping Carla on the head. “Did you evolve from a pig? Amelie and Julia are on the same side. Why would you bribe her assistant? Did you want to die?”

She then raised her hand to slap Carla once more.

At that sight, Carla shrank back as tears streamed down her cheeks. “You were in such a hurry, and I had no idea what to do at all,” she begged. “I could only take the risk. I didn’t know she would lay a trap for me after being paid. I really didn’t know.”

At that moment, she was too scared to tell Jodie she could not afford to pay off Julia and had given her a blank check instead.

Jodie stamped her foot in anger. She thought about the humiliation she suffered on the mountain, the terror she experienced. Her entire being felt as if it had been set on fire; not one part of her felt okay with that experience.
