A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Melissa seized Jodie’s arm and expressed her dislike for her daughter’s hot temper. “Get a hold of yourself! I’m the one who wants Foxy to marry your brother, which has nothing to do with her.” She then sat Jodie down on the couch and said, “You need to keep your temper in check and think straight.”

“I have every reason to lose my temper about that,” Jodie responded in frustration, her eyes filled with tears. “Foxy wouldn’t stop getting in my way during the show, yet now, you’re inviting her to be a part of our family. How is that fair?!” Her tears began to roll down her eyes as she complained.

Melissa reacted by helplessly shaking her head, giving a look of disappointment to her daughter, who she thought was too comfortable with her life to deal with any setback. However, she still went on to patiently explain her point, “But you can’t deny the fact that Foxy is indeed an internet celebrity. Now that times are different than before, I have to change my thinking as well. Don’t you think so?” She patted Jodie’s knee and continued her words, “Look. Foxy has over a hundred million followers, and what does that seem to you? A gold mine is what it seems to me. If your brother marries her, we’re going to be even richer and more influential than ever before.”

As a graduate of Mass Communication herself, Jodie quickly understood Melissa’s point, not to mention her desire to become an internet celebrity like Foxy as well. A hundred million followers? I could make several times more than an average office lady ever could in a few months or even a year by just going live every night if I was an internet celebrity with that many followers. That’s not even inclusive of any sales made during those live shows, so if I do that, I could even make billions. That’s right! Mom has a point. Foxy is a mine with unlimited gold in it.

The more she thought about that, the more excited and thrilled she felt about her mother’s suggestion.

“I may be helping Leo, but I’m also giving you a chance to prove your worth at the same time. Haven’t you always wanted to become an internet celebrity? Now is your chance. You could ask her for her guidance and make your dream come true. Even if you can’t be as successful as her in the end, I’m sure you’ll accumulate at least thousands or millions of fans with her help.” Melissa tried to talk some sense into her daughter’s head.

Who says I need Foxy’s help?!

Despite the thought of that, Jodie somehow did not feel as disgusted as she used to before when she heard Foxy’s name from Melissa. Soon, she rolled her eyes sinisterly and began to think that Melissa’s suggestion was not a bad idea. After all, she reckoned she could seize the opportunity to woo Blake while Foxy was busy dating Leo. Then, she would find a chance to ruin Leo and Foxy’s relationship later once she became an item with Blake.

As her ego got the better of her, she did not care how Foxy could strengthen the Alston Family’s influence or help her become an internet celebrity because all she cared about was to have Blake for herself and ruin Foxy’s life.
