A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 169

“Mr. Dillon, Elie.” Julia and Samuel rushed over.

Unable to catch her breath, Julia quickly grabbed the two. “What happened to Bria? How did she
suddenly disappear?”

Before they could even respond, she turned around and noticed Leo. Her eyes widened in surprise,
and she sounded hostile as she snarled, “What are you doing here, Leo? Is Bria’s disappearance
connected to you in any way? Elie has already divorced you. What more do you want? Give Bria back
to her!”

*

With that, Amelie was on the verge of physically attacking Leo, but Samuel quickly stepped in, grabbing
her by the waist and pulling her back.

At this point, Julia was fuming so hard that she kicked her feet in frustration. “Why can’t I teach him a
lesson? What’s your relationship with him? This sc’mbag keeps hurting Elie, so I must fight him to
death. You must be in cahoots with him since you’re stopping me!”

Julia was so angry that she spoke recklessly. Samuel also knew that she was emotional and could only
try to persuade her by saying. “The most important thing right now is finding Bria. We can talk about
everything else later, okay?”

After hearing those words, Julia finally calmed down and looked at Amelie. Her eyes were filled with
deep worry as tears welled up. “What exactly happened to Bria?”

Amelie explained the situation again.



While furrowing his brows, Samuel asked, “You’re saying that she was sent to the hospital because of
a mild case of food poisoning?”

Amelie nodded her head silently. His lips were pressed into a thin line as a wave of self-blame

filled her heart.

“It’s my fault for not taking good care of her,” Steven said regretfully as well. “If I had been more careful,
this wouldn’t have happened.”

“This is not the time for self-blame,” Samuel chimed in. “Why don’t we think carefully about what
happened before she felt unwell? Don’t overlook any small details, no matter how insignificant they
may seem.”

He was a detective by trade and had a vast network of highly skilled detectives at his disposal. In the
city, he was well-known for being the best in this industry.

At Samuel’s words, Leo, who was standing nearby, perked up his ears. At the same time, he began to
recall every detail of his encounter with Bria.

Amelie looked at Steven again. “Dad, what were you about to say earlier?”

Steven finally spoke. “Well, there was a courier who came by the house last night. Bria thought it was
you and went to answer the door. However, she quickly came back saying that the courier had the
wrong address and already left.”

“I’ve thought about it, and I think it’s just a coincidence.” He hunched his back and rubbed the back of
his head as he continued.

Samuel’s eyes flickered. “Even if it’s a coincidence, we should look into this courier.”



Coincidentally, there were surveillance cameras just outside their home. As such, Amelie pushed
Steven toward Julia and instructed, “Please watch over my dad. I’m going with Samuel to get the
surveillance footage now.”

“Sure thing,” Julia had nothing else to say as she walked over to support Steven. “Mr. Dillon, let’s go
inside and sit down. With Samuel’s abilities, I’m sure we’ll find Bria soon, so don’t worry.

Steven yearned to join them but was hesitant as he feared his slow movements might impede their
progress. Keeping his thoughts to himself, he set off with Julia into the distance.

Meanwhile, Amelie and Samuel exchanged glances and quickly departed from the hospital.

Leo looked at their retreating figures with his darkened eyes and trailed behind them.

Samuel raced all the way home, and in no time, he and Amelie arrived at the doorstep.

Immediately, Amelie pulled up the surveillance footage on her computer. She looked up and noticed
Leo following behind Samuel, causing a warm flicker in her heart.

Without a word, the two bent their heads together, studying the footage with utmost concentration. The
suspect was an expert, having taken great care to cover themselves entirely and even using a large
box to obscure the camera’s view.

However, the more they tried to hide, the more suspicious it appeared.

Samuel suddenly clicked on the mouse and froze the image on a specific frame. Then, he pointed

at the screen,

Amelie realized something amiss and leaned in to take a closer look. In the dim and unclear image, the
courier’s hand was clutching a small bottle, which was precisely aimed at Bria.



Samuel magnified the image. After a moment of recognition, he slammed his hand down and declared,
“Whatever was in that bottle caused Bria’s mild poisoning!”

Amelie took a sharp breath. She couldn’t believe the audacity of the courier to carry out such an

As Leo issued his command, Samuel also activated his information platform and sent out the

courier’s picture.

Next, it was time to wait.

The combined power of the two men was not to be underestimated. In less than half an hour, the
courier was caught. The three of them rushed down the stairs and saw Samuel’s subordinate dragging
the courier out while Leo’s men followed close behind.

Without waiting for anybody to speak, Leo charged forward at an almost imperceptible speed and
booted the courier to the ground with just one foot.

Following that, he stepped on the man’s back with his polished leather shoes. The veins on his neck
bulged while his eyes were pitch-black and sharp, making him a fearsome sight.

“Speak. Where is the child?!”

The courier was kicked until he gasped for air. “I swear, I don’t know! I don’t know!” He coughed

out.

Leo kicked him again with a force that sent the man flying backward like a weightless object. He finally
crashed into a pole and curled up on the ground like a shrimp, unable to regain his composure for
some time.



Leo stepped on his chest forcefully again. “If you don’t tell the truth, I’ll break your ribs one by

one!”

The courier was frightened. His hands were stuck on his chest, and he trembled while shouting, “I don’t
know. The other party only told me to spray some medicine on the child, but I have no idea what it does
or what it’s for.”

“Ah!” Just as he finished speaking, a scream escaped his lips.

Amelie turned to look at Leo. She had known him for a long time, but this was her first time seeing him
acting so mercilessly.

The sound of bones breaking echoed in her ears, making her shiver uncontrollably.

Fearing Leo’s wrath, the courier dropped to his knees and begged for mercy.

Samuel stood by, watching the scene unfold. “He might be telling the truth,” Samuel finally said, his
voice calm and collected.

Only then did Leo stop.

Samuel approached the courier and began to ask more questions, trying to uncover the truth.

200,000. Someone called me and asked me to do this in exchange for clearing my debt. I was
desperate to get rid of the debt and didn’t dare question the person’s motives. The drugs were left in a
dumpster outside the city for me to pick up, and the address was on the bottle. I don’t know who they
are.”

Samuel looked at Leo and told him to send him to the police station, which was silently agreed upon by
Leo.



Before the police arrived, the two of them made arrangements on the phone. Meanwhile, Amelie stood
there calmly, unable to resist glancing at Leo.

She watched his serious expression and the deep furrows in his brow. Then, she looked at the half-
dead courier and felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart. This was the first time she had seen him lose
control and also the first time she felt his presence as Bria’s father.

Just as she was pondering, she noticed Leo’s eyebrows tightening all of a sudden. Moreover, his
temples were tensed to the point of breaking! Then, he abruptly hung up the phone and strode outside.

Amelie realized he must have learned something new and instinctively stepped forward to pull him, but
she heard Samuel saying, “There’s new information!”

She turned to look at Samuel as he ran toward the car. She followed suit and ran after him, getting into
the vehicle as well.
