A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 116

Amelie turned around to see an icy look on the gorgeous man’s face. “You have to help me, Leo!” Jodie
clung to Leo with tears in her eyes. However, when she turned around to look at Amelie, there was a
provocative and smug look in Jodie’s eyes. She had intended to pick a fight with Amelie, but she no
longer saw a need to do that since Leo was here.

“Amelie is too much. I’m your sister, yet she still dares to lay her hands on me! She has no regard for
us at all!” Jodie cried. Leo turned around to glare at Amelie, but she simply wore a blank and calm look
on her face. He couldn’t seem to read her expression at all. “Are you sure you want to help Jodie this
time?” Amelie asked.

“Leo’s my brother. Of course, he’ll help me! Do you think he’d be on an outsider’s side instead?” Jodie
was worried that Amelie would reveal why she had been slapped in the first place, so she interrupted
the conversation before Amelie could say anything. Amelie simply sneered and glared at Jodie before
walking up to Leo. “Hit me, then.” She shut her eyes while standing before him with a calm expression.

Did she just tell Leo to hit her? Jodie had prepared all sorts of accusations to target Amelie, but she
hadn’t expected Amelie to give in just like that. She was too stunned to speak for a moment. Leo
pushed Jodie aside as he continued to glare at Amelie. “I don’t hit women. But… what exactly
happened?”

“Who knows?! Amelie just came up and hit me for no reason!” Amelie showed no intention of
explaining the situation, while Jodie was eager to speak up for herself. “Even if you don’t hit women,
you can’t let her get away with this, Leo. Who knows what she might do in the future?!” Jodie cried.

“Let’s check the CCTV, he suggested. Jodie was speechless after that. Is he suggesting we check the
CCTV even though Amelie’s not speaking up for herself? I can’t believe this. “What do you mean, Leo?



Do you not trust me? I’m your sister!” she cried. However, he merely ignored his sister’s protests and
asked for the workers.

enough, the workers came and presented him with the CCTV footage.

The CCTV showed Amelie approaching Jodie. Both women didn’t say much to one another before
Amelie hit Jodie. “Did you see that, Leo?! Amelie was the one who bullied me!” Jodie had been terrified
at first, but she was pleased to find out that the CCTVs hadn’t recorded their conversation. This was
advantageous to her.

“Were you guys talking about Bria?” Leo asked all of a sudden. Jodie had been doing the victory dance
inside her head, but it all abruptly halted when she heard his words. She was lost for words as her mind
instantly went blank, and all she could hear at that moment was the loud ringing sound formed in her
mind due to shock. She stared at Leo with a fearful look on her face. His gaze was still fixed on the two
women on the screen, and he seemed to be reading their lips!

The footage clearly showed both the women’s faces, and it was clear that Jodie had a haughty and
rude expression on her face. He could already guess the contents of the conversation from the words
he read through their lips. “Did you do something to Bria, Jodie?”

“W-Well… I…” She didn’t have the guts to say much else. Leo turned around to glare at his sister at
that point, wearing a fierce look on his face. Jodie had always been terrified of her brother, and now
that he was giving her the hard stare, she panicked and tried to defend herself, “Well, Amelie made me
feel uncomfortable, and she bullied me. I’m only trying to-”

Leo had been making a wild guess at first, but her words had confirmed his suspicions! “She was the
one who bullied you, so you should get back at her, not the kid! Why did you have to hurt the child?
You’re the child’s aunt!” he hissed. Jodie was too terrified to utter a single word after that. She didn’t
even dare to look into his eyes.



“Are things settled now? I can leave, right?” Amelie ignored the tension between the siblings as she
interrupted their conversation in a calm tone. She turned and left after finishing her words. She had just
opened her car door when Leo came after her. “Why didn’t you say anything earlier?”

She stared at him blankly. There wasn’t a hint of emotion in her eyes. “Have you ever trusted a word
that I

said?”

He remained silent at that. An awkward look formed on his face as he found himself guilty as charged.
“Why should I say anything if you’re not going to believe me anyway?” Amelie continued in the same
calm tone. Then, she lowered herself and got into the car. Leo hastily grabbed her arm. “What exactly
happened to Bria?

How is she now?”

When she saw the look of concern on his face, she frowned a little. She was both puzzled and amused.
Elyse isn’t here, so why is he pretending to care? “She’s fine. You don’t have to worry about her, Mr.
Alston.” She pulled her hand away and slammed the car door in his face before driving off.

Leo stumbled backward as the car zoomed past his figure. He knitted his brows as he watched the car
speeding off. A series of flashbacks of the times when he was with Amelie and Bria surfaced in his
mind. Back then, Amelie would never treat him as such. I don’t understand. Why is she being so cold to
me all of a sudden?

Meanwhile, Jodie was glum after she received a huge scolding from Leo. She dragged her feet home
as she thought about what had happened earlier. How dare Amelie hit me and use Leo to get back at
me! I’m going to make her suffer! Leo might be on her side, but Mom is never going to support her! At
that thought, Jodie hastened her footsteps.



When she got home, she found Melissa in the hall. Melissa was dressed in a classy outfit, sipping on
some tea. Her sophisticated gestures made her look especially elegant. When Jodie saw Melissa, she
hurried over while wailing and showed her injured face to Melissa. “Look at this, Mom! That b*tch,
Amelie, hit me! She’s still trying to go for Leo, and she hit me after I lectured her about it! You need to
stand up for me. Leo scolded me because of her today. If this goes on, she will snatch him away again
someday!”

Jodie knew Melissa would be furious to hear that Amelie hadn’t given up on Leo. So, she lied about the
real reason that drove Amelie to hit her and told Melissa a different story instead. She was certain that
her lie would bring Melissa to side with her. As expected, rage formed in Melissa’s eyes as she
slammed her teacup on the table. “Absurd!”

Jodie cheered to herself. She was about to exaggerate the situation further when Melissa held her
hand up and slapped Jodie instead. Smack! The slap made a crisp and loud sound, and Jodie could
feel her ears ringing. She stared at her mother with a look of disbelief. “Did you lose your mind, Mom?
Why did you hit me?”

“I’m losing my mind because you’re making me furious!” Melissa got to her feet and shot her daughter
a fierce glare. Then, she pulled her phone out and tapped on the screen a few times. Soon enough, an
audio clip played from the phone. Jodie was speechless when she heard the audio. “T-This is…”

“This is the recording that Amelie sent to me! She told me she would release this audio clip to the
media if I didn’t discipline my daughter. How could one’s aunt tell others to hurt her niece? If this is
spread to the public, the Alston Family’s reputation will be ruined! Are you trying to test my limits,
Jodie?” Melissa had always pampered her daughter, and she had never spoken to Jodie so fiercely in
the past.

Jodie pressed a palm against her cheek as she sobbed to herself. She felt both embarrassed and sorry
for herself at that moment. However, Melissa only got more frustrated seeing the helpless look on her



daughter’s face. “You know how smart Amelie is, Jodie. Why did you fool around with her? What are
you going to do now that you’ve gotten yourself into this mess?! I must have spoiled you too much-
that’s why you would make such a stupid mistake! You’re grounded from today onward! I want you to
stay home. You’re not allowed to go anywhere!” Melissa hissed.

Jodie sobbed as she ran off to her room. When she thought about all the ways she had been wronged
that day, her fury drove her to shove all her makeup products off the table. “Amelie, you b*tch!” She’s
the one who’s at fault here I simply tried getting back at her, yet she slapped me in the face. She even
got my brother and mother to discipline me. I hate her so much!

The more Jodie thought about it, the more resentful she felt. She was the daughter of a wealthy family-
the precious princess of the Alston Family. How could a worthless pile of trash like Amelie bully her?
“Just you wait, Amelie! After crying for a while more, Jodie finally dried her tears and pulled her phone
out to call a number…
