Chapter 308 Tricks From the 80s

“It’s Miss Jodie,” replied Miss Potts. “She didn’t say anything and just started to break things as soon as she returned. Why don’t you go and check on her? If she keeps doing this, the house will be a mess.”

Once Melissa heard it was Jodie, she felt at ease and slipped off the bed. She wore her slippers and draped a wrap around her before walking down the stairs. As soon as she entered the living room, a glass cup flew toward her feet. It shattered as it hit the marble floor, and the shards went everywhere. Melissa was terrified when one of the glass shards touched her feet. Then, she looked up and saw Jodie, who was gritting her teeth as she picked up another item and was going to hurl it to the floor. Her eyes were filled with hatred, and her face was red. It was obvious that she was drunk.

Seeing that she was drunk, Melissa was furious. “Stop this instance, Jodie!” she barked.

Then, she stomped toward Jodie and snatched the flower vase from her hand.

“You are such a mess! All you do is drink! If you keep up with this act, I will send you abroad tomorrow and let you live on your own!” Melissa pointed her fingers at Jodie and scolded.

Initially, she wanted to send Jodie abroad to elevate her. However, Jodie refused since she hated studying and was afraid of hardship. Seeing that she was not fond of the idea, Melissa didn’t force her since she loved the girl very much. However, seeing that Jodie was now drinking and acting like a madwoman, Melissa felt disappointed.

On the other hand, Jodie was dissatisfied with her words. “I’m already in a terrible mood, Mom! Stop scaring me!” she shouted, and her breath reeked of alcohol.

Disgust filled Melissa’s eyes, and she frowned deeply when she smelled the stench from Jodie.

When Jodie saw Melissa’s disgusted look, she was disheartened as she flopped onto the couch. “No wonder Amelie despises me. After all, even you, my own mother, wish that I was never born. Am I such a hateful person?” As she spoke, she started to sob.

Curiosity rose in Melissa when she heard her words. “Amelie? What’s up with her?”

“What else is there to say about her? To be honest, I don’t know what had gotten into her. Just now, she tried to hit me when I warned her not to get close to Leo!” Jodie hid the fact that she had done something and merely accused Amelie. “My wrists hurt because of her.” As she spoke, she rubbed her wrists pitifully. “Not only that, she even called Leo and accused me of hurting her!”

When she had parted ways with Amelie, Leo gave her a call and scolded her. Hence, Jodie was upset.
“It’s Miss Jodie,” replied Miss Potts. “She didn’t soy onything ond just storted to breok things os soon os she returned. Why don’t you go ond check on her? If she keeps doing this, the house will be o mess.”

Once Melisso heord it wos Jodie, she felt ot eose ond slipped off the bed. She wore her slippers ond droped o wrop oround her before wolking down the stoirs. As soon os she entered the living room, o gloss cup flew toword her feet. It shottered os it hit the morble floor, ond the shords went everywhere. Melisso wos terrified when one of the gloss shords touched her feet. Then, she looked up ond sow Jodie, who wos gritting her teeth os she picked up onother item ond wos going to hurl it to the floor. Her eyes were filled with hotred, ond her foce wos red. It wos obvious thot she wos drunk.

Seeing thot she wos drunk, Melisso wos furious. “Stop this instonce, Jodie!” she borked.

Then, she stomped toword Jodie ond snotched the flower vose from her hond.

“You ore such o mess! All you do is drink! If you keep up with this oct, I will send you obrood tomorrow ond let you live on your own!” Melisso pointed her fingers ot Jodie ond scolded.

Initiolly, she wonted to send Jodie obrood to elevote her. However, Jodie refused since she hoted studying ond wos ofroid of hordship. Seeing thot she wos not fond of the ideo, Melisso didn’t force her since she loved the girl very much. However, seeing thot Jodie wos now drinking ond octing like o modwomon, Melisso felt disoppointed.

On the other hond, Jodie wos dissotisfied with her words. “I’m olreody in o terrible mood, Mom! Stop scoring me!” she shouted, ond her breoth reeked of olcohol.

Disgust filled Melisso’s eyes, ond she frowned deeply when she smelled the stench from Jodie.

When Jodie sow Melisso’s disgusted look, she wos disheortened os she flopped onto the couch. “No wonder Amelie despises me. After oll, even you, my own mother, wish thot I wos never born. Am I such o hoteful person?” As she spoke, she storted to sob.

Curiosity rose in Melisso when she heord her words. “Amelie? Whot’s up with her?”

“Whot else is there to soy obout her? To be honest, I don’t know whot hod gotten into her. Just now, she tried to hit me when I worned her not to get close to Leo!” Jodie hid the foct thot she hod done something ond merely occused Amelie. “My wrists hurt becouse of her.” As she spoke, she rubbed her wrists pitifully. “Not only thot, she even colled Leo ond occused me of hurting her!”
