My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 117

*J-Jodie.” Carla fumbled with the strap of her handbag as she stood before Jodie in the cafe. She was

too nervous to even look Jodie in the eye. Ever since Jodie last exposed her for what she did, she no

longer had the nerve to show up before Jodie. She was terrified when she first received Jodie’s call

earlier that day-she was worried that Jodie wanted to get even with her. Jodie was a calculative and

unforgiving woman. She was known for being heartless and cruel in her attempts at revenge.

“Come here. Have some coffee.” To Carla’s surprise, Jodie was not her usual petty self. Instead, she

seemed much more generous and welcoming. This only made Carla more fearful than ever. “I-I’m not

thirsty. I-I’m sorry. I made a mistake, Jodie. Please…. I hope you don’t hold a grudge against me.”

Carla was paralyzed with fear.

“Alright. I’ve completely forgotten about that.” Jodie walked over and pushed Carla down into her seat

before placing a cup of coffee in front of her. Thud! The soft noise of the cup landing on the table made

Carla jump. She helplessly reached out and held onto the cup of coffee, looking like she was about to

cry.

Jodie, on the other hand, wasn’t in the mood to fool around with her. “Previously, you helped Elyse to

make a fool out of me, and I was really angry. But now, I’m giving you a chance to set things right,”

Jodie uttered while playing with her freshly styled hair. Carla immediately looked up at Jodie when she

heard that Jodie was offering her an opportunity.

Jodie tapped her slender and fair fingers on the coffee cup before her. “I previously told you to hunt

down the wife of Starlight Media’s boss, didn’t I? I’ll forget about what you did to me if you manage to

find her,” she said.

“Huh? Why are you still looking for her?” Carla was stunned. “She already got a divorce with the boss

of Starlight Media, so there’s no point in locating her anymore, isn’t it?”

“You don’t need to know the reason. Just locate her!” Jodie growled. Carla knitted her brows upon

hearing the other woman’s words. “But Jodie, you know I don’t have many connections. How am I

supposed to find her?”

“I don’t care how you’re going to do it. Just know I won’t allow you to stay in Clouson City if you don’t

get the job done! I’ll kick your whole family out of the city!” Jodie got to her feet after she finished her

sentence. “You should consider what I just said.”

Amelie was in no rush to head home. Instead, she paid a visit to Starlight Media. No one suspected

that she was the boss of the place, and they merely assumed that she was there to meet Julia, as they

all knew of the relationship between the two women. Julia wasn’t around, but Amelie had the password

to her office. After letting herself into the office, she observed the live streams of all the broadcasting

studios while waiting for Julia. Soon enough, Julia strutted into the room in formal attire with a short

skirt.

When Julia saw Amelie, she flicked her shoulder-length curly hair while flashing a smirk at her friend.

“Elie, do you know what I just heard? Your ex-sister-in-law is still searching for the wife of Starlight

Media’s boss. She even made Carla cry in a café in public.”

“Is that so?” Amelie froze when she heard whom Jodie was searching for. Julia poured herself a glass

of water before taking a seat in front of Amelie. “What do you think she’s trying to do?” she asked.

“What else could it be? She’s obviously trying to come after me,” Amelie replied with a blank look in her

eyes. She curled her lips into a thoughtful smirk before she gave Julia a summary of what happened

with Bria at school and how things went down with Jodie.

When Julia heard about what Jodie did to Bria, she smacked her palm against the table before leaping

to her feet. “Is Jodie a monster?! Bria is her niece! How could she do that to Bria?!” she cried.

“Jodie never liked Bria, even when we were in the Alston Family. You’ll get used to it.” Amelie didn’t

have any faith in Jodie’s terrible attitude. “Well, she’s definitely going to seek revenge after what you

did. But it’s a shame she’ll never find the lady in question” Julia chuckled to herself when she imagined

the dumb, hopeful look on Jodie’s face.

Amelie licked her lips as a clouded look formed in her eyes. “Since she’s so eager to locate the wife of

Starlight Media’s boss, why don’t we let her succeed in doing so?”

“What do you mean?” Julia’s eyes lit up. “Get Carla to pass this to her.” Amelie tossed a piece of paper

with a phone number to Julia. Julia picked it up and looked at it before laughing. “I’m impressed, Elie! I

can’t believe you thought of such a thing!”

Three days later, the sun hung high up in the sky, and Jodie limped up a hill under the heat. She was

dressed. in a flashy mini-skirt and a pair of high heels-a rare sight to see in that area. The passersby

couldn’t help but send puzzled stares her way. Jodie was hot and exhausted, and her legs hurt so

much that she could no longer feel them. She desperately wanted to sit down and stay in one spot

forever, but she gritted her teeth. and forced herself to move forward when she thought about the

reason she was there.

She fanned herself as she continued moving. “Why would she ask to meet here? Is she crazy?” she

mumbled to herself. Earlier that day, Carla had contacted her and passed her the phone number of the

lady she had. been looking for. After that, Jodie immediately called the number and asked for a

meetup. The person gave her an address, and she had expected to meet in some high-end place.

However, after she rushed over to the location, she found herself at the bottom of a hill and realized

their meeting spot was on the top of the mountain!

There were no roads that allowed cars to drive up the mountain, so Jodie had no choice but to hobble

up the long flight of stairs. She was raised as a wealthy and spoiled child, so she had never gone

through such a torturous experience. She blamed all of this on Amelie, and she figured she would

punish Amelie twice as much after she met Starlight Media’s boss’ wife!

Jodie felt like she was half dead by the time she got to the peak of the mountain. She slumped onto the

ground and tried to catch her breath for a while. When she looked up, she saw a woman standing

beneath a large tree in front of her. The woman’s face was covered, and she had put a pair of

sunglasses on. Event though her dress seemed somewhat exaggerated, Jodie wasn’t too surprised as

it made sense for one to cover herself up when under the blazing sun.

Even though the woman was covered up, Jodie could tell she was a fashionable woman. The woman

had a gorgeous figure, and she gave off an elegant aura. She seems like a charismatic and classy

woman… She has to be the wife of Starlight Media’s boss! Jodie immediately phoned the number she

had gotten earlier, and indeed, the woman was the one who picked up the phone call. Jodie hurried

over to the woman. “Hello, I’m Jodie Alston. I’m the sister of Genesis Company’s boss, Leo.”

She was certain that her introduction would impress the other woman. She’ll probably be nice to me

after this. However, to her surprise, the other woman simply nodded calmly. “Why were you looking for

me, Miss Alston?” she asked flatly. Jodie nearly choked on her words. Her impression of the lady in

front of her went down the drain after that. How dare this b*tch look down on me!

However, when she thought about her intentions, she hastily swallowed all the disdain she felt for the

woman. “There’s something important I’d like to talk to you about. Your husband cheated on you before

you got a divorce, and he even had a child with another woman. I believe you know the woman as well-

it’s Amelie.” Jodie felt pleased with herself as she revealed the truth to the other woman. Did Amelie

think I couldn’t defeat her? If I tell the wife of Starlight Media’s boss that Bria was the product of her

husband’s infidelity, I’m sure she’ll be mad!

The woman’s eyes glinted under her sunglasses. Jodie is so predictable. She’s still using the same old

tactics.
