My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 406

CHAPTER 406 COLD BLOODED AND RUTHLESS, IT WAS HER!

Melissa was startled by the sound and her heart raced as she looked up.

She saw Jodie gripping the handles of the wheelchair while staring at her in disbelief.

Melissa was shocked to her core. She jumped. "How did you get out?"

Jodie was locked up in the room by her, so she couldn’t get out.

She had no intention of answering Melissa and stared at her. "Mom, explain to me. Why did you sell the company’s shares?"

Jodie’s brain was usually slow, but at this moment, she connected the dots in just a moment.

Realizing all of this, she was so shocked that she almost sprung up from the wheelchair. "You used me! You…"

Melissa was also shocked when she heard Jodie say this.

She did use Jodie.

She thought Jodie was stupid enough that she would never figure it out. It turned out she did!

Jodie looked at her mother incredulously and said, "I thought I was cold-blooded, heartless, and inhuman enough, but it turns out that it’s you who’s truly inhuman!"

She couldn’t stop shaking her head and shedding tears. All she could think about was the conversation she overheard between Melissa and a lawyer the other day.

The lawyer said that Leo had transferred all his shares to Amelie, which meant Jodie and Melissa had nothing left.

At that time, she thought it was just a conversation she had eavesdropped on. Now, she realized Melissa had purposely allowed her to overhear it!

Melissa wanted to stir up her hatred and make her take action against her brother!

She was stupid and fell for it!

"How could you? How could you do this?" At this point, Jodie couldn’t even cry.

After Melissa’s fear had dissipated, she finally calmed down.

Jodie is just a fool. She's easy to deal with, she thought.

Melissa slowly approached her and said, "Jojo, listen to me. I did this for our sake."

"Stop fooling me!" Even if Jodie was foolish, she still had basic analytical skills.

In this matter, she didn't get any benefits at all.

"Why would you kill your own son? What did you do? Was it Ashton who called you just now? What did he say that made you so flustered?"

"You don’t have to guess. I didn’t do anything. Jojo, listen to me. Sell your shares and come with me. We won’t have to worry for the rest of our lives."

Melissa tried to comfort her, but Jodie no longer trusted her. She pushed Melissa away and shouted, "Don’t touch me!"

"If you don’t want to tell me, I’ll ask Ashton myself!"

Jodie said as she pushed her wheelchair toward the door.

A flash of malice flickered in Melissa’s eye before she kicked the wheelchair.

Jodie fell to the ground.

Melissa stepped forward and grabbed her neck. "Listen to me. You better stay put and not ask any questions. Otherwise, you’ll end up in hell with your filthy dad!"

"Filthy dad? My father…"

Jodie was stunned to hear Melissa use such vicious words to insult her father.

After a while, she finally understood what was going on. "You hate… my father."

"He's useless! Of course, I hate him!" Melissa had been suppressing her resentment for years. She couldn't control herself anymore and shouted, "I asked him to fight for the family property, but he

wanted to leave it to his brother. What a fool! So, I took matters into my own hands and tampered with his brakes. I only wanted to injure him, but he died because of his bad luck. It’s not my fault!"

Jodie looked at her mother in shock.

She already knew that Melissa was not a good person, but she never expected she could be so malicious.

After my father’s death, the blame naturally fell on my uncle, who had a relationship of interest with my father. Melissa presented a file of evidence. She cried and pleaded with my grandfather, refusing to let my uncle take over the position of the president of Genesis Company. Grandfather also believed her and expelled my uncle’s family from the country.

To make up for Melissa’s loss of her husband, he gave the inheritance of Genesis Company to her. During that incident, Leo also injured his eyes and was sent to a remote area.

After all these years, Melissa did not regret her evil deeds and even blamed Leo for her husband's death.

Jodie seemed to have become smart suddenly. She exposed all the evil deeds Melissa had done.

Melissa sneered. She didn’t care. "Let me tell you something else. I even brought Ashton in. I had him locate Amelie to test her intentions on the Alstons shares. When I found out she didn’t care, I found a way to get her to give me her shares."

Leo had originally drafted this contract in an attempt to win back Amelie’s heart. Later, when she went abroad, this matter was dropped. He never mentioned it again and the contract was kept in a safe.

Melissa gave the lawyer a lot of benefits. After she found out about this matter, she asked the lawyer to give the contract to Amelie.

She then took the contract from Amelie to prevent her from tearing it up.

Later, she instigated Jodie to take action against her brother, both to appease Jodie and get Amelie to transfer the shares to her.

Now, this was the last step.

Although Amelie had been avoiding talking about this matter, Melissa still had her confidence in this.

Listening to her words, Jodie almost vomited blood.

"Do you think I want to be the villain? For so many years, all I’ve ever wanted was to live my life peacefully. They never wanted me to be at peace! I had to fight for myself, step by step!" Melissa was both aggrieved and crazy.

Her grip on Jodie’s neck tightened.

Jodie was unable to breathe. She wanted to push Melissa away but was too weak to do so as her eyes started rolling.

Just then, the door was pushed open with a bang.

Victor and Amelie rushed in!

"Melissa, let her go!" Amelie shouted when she saw what was going on.

Victor kicked Melissa away.

Melissa was thrown to the ground, after which she gasped for air.

Amelie helped Jodie up.

Jodie felt ashamed after looking at Amelie.

Amelie did not have time to deal with Jodie right now. She just looked at Melissa coldly. "We have found evidence of your conspiracy and the incident where Leo’s father was killed. The police are coming. Melissa, you’re done!"

Melissa was dumbfounded.

Her eyes widened as she looked at Amelie in disbelief. She gaped at Amelie and constantly moved her mouth to speak but was unable to say a single word

"If you do something bad, people will inevitably find out about it," Amelie said coldly. She knew what Melissa wanted to ask. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

The light in Melissa’s eyes suddenly disappeared before her body slumped to the floor.

She had been scheming her whole life. Was this the end?

"Take her away first," Amelie said since the police hadn’t arrived yet.

The servants heard the commotion and ran over from the nearby rooms. They were looking at the chaotic scene in confusion.

Victor carried Melissa and walked outside.

Suddenly, Melissa grabbed a rope that was tied to the floor. "Don’t move, or we’ll all die together!"

He paused. His expression changed slightly when he saw what was in her hand.

Amelie looked over in confusion and also saw what was in Melissa’s hand.

"This is a fuse!" Melissa said coldly, her eyes filled with madness. "I predicted this day would come, so I buried a large number of explosives in this house. When I pull the fuse, the house will explode. You will all die with me!"

Even Amelie’s face turned pale with fear.

"Melissa, are you sure you want to do this? You'll just end up in jail if you're arrested by the police. But if you do this, you'll die!" Amelie said.

Melissa sneered. "Jail? What’s the difference between jail and death? Amelie, it’s because of you that I failed. I have nothing left now, so it’s not so bad to drag you down with me!"

With that, she pulled the fuse without hesitation!

Amelie instinctively looked down while Victor closed his eyes and Jodie screamed in terror.

The expected explosion did not occur.

"What’s going on? How could this happen?" After a long while, Melissa exclaimed in disbelief.

Outside the door, there was another loud bang.

Someone walked inside.

"I had the explosives cleared out a long time ago," the man said coldly.

Melissa looked up, and her face became as white as a sheet when she saw him.

"Leony?" Jodie muttered after a while.

Leo walked step by step toward them. He was followed by Eugene, some of his men, and the police.

The police quickly moved in and hauled Melissa up.

Leo walked toward Amelie with a heavy look in his eyes.

It wasn’t until a long time later that Jodie found out Leo had regained his autonomous breathing the day she removed his breathing mask.

He didn’t tell anyone. Instead, he took advantage of this time to investigate many things, including Melissa’s involvement in the death of her husband.

Of course, it also included the incident where she pulled off Leo’s breathing mask.

Leo connected the dots and already anticipated Melissa's plan.

He had specially sent Victor to the house to search it. It didn't take them long to find the explosives.

In fact, the explosives had been removed quietly before Amelie stepped foot into Alston Residence.

Jodie felt ashamed to face her brother again and took the initiative to ask to be sent abroad for studies.

As for Amelie and Leo…

Their relationship was another matter.

It was said that after that incident, Leo refused to take over Genesis and allowed Amelie to manage the company.

Later, Steven and his family returned to take over the management of Genesis.

Leo enjoyed his leisure time and spent all those days with his daughter. Later, the backyard was slowly filled with more and more children…
