A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 26

Chapter 26 All the Assets of the Alston Family

There was no trace of fear on Bria’s face.

Her mother told her not to be afraid when encountering difficulties, but to be good at finding solutions.

Last night she was crying and making noise on purpose, and although Leo was annoyed, he still coaxed her patiently, so she did not cause much trouble.

However, today, not only did Jodie do something bad to her, but Melissa also wanted to prevent her mother from taking her away.

Bria did not want to bear it anymore!

“If you don’t let me go, I’ll smash everything in this room!” Without blinking, she smashed the vase in her hands! With a crash, Melissa’s heart also shattered into pieces along with the vase.

It was worth 20 million!

“How presumptuous of you!” she yelled and covered her chest.

“Get her, get her!”

Leila ran to hold Bria back, who struggled hard and broke free.

Jodie was also annoyed by Bria’s behavior, and she rushed over with gritted teeth.

“Little brat! I’m going to kill you!”

Immediately after saying that, she pressed Bria down and shoved her against the wall like a frog.

Bria was pressed so hard that she could not catch her breath, and she coughed for a while.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Then, Jodie raised her hand and slapped Bria.

“Look! Look! I’m being abused!” Bria yelled abruptly.

Stunned by her words, Jodie looked up and saw the phone in Bria’s hand.

On the phone, Jodie’s face suddenly appeared.

At this time, her eyes were round, her teeth were gritted, and her look was fierce!

Is this me?

Jodie did not believe that the vicious person on screen was herself.

“Oh my God, that’s child abuse.”

“Call the police.

Everyone, call the police immediately!”

“F*cking woman, let go of her.”

“Bria, tell us the address, and we’ll come to save you right away!”

Jodie was dazed for a while, and she suddenly came to her senses when she saw the words floating on the screen.

“You… You started a live broadcast?”

At first, she thought that Bria only opened the camera function and planned to snatch the phone away from her.

At this moment, Jodie’s whole body suddenly lost strength, and there was a rumbling in her head.

So, her ugly face just now was not only seen by the Alston Family, but also by people outside?

Taking advantage of her distraction, Bria scooted far away.

She burst into tears while facing the camera and cried, “Mommy, I want Mommy.

Everyone, come and save me! I was locked at home by my grandma and aunt… I’m at…”

Although Melissa was not very familiar with the live broadcast function, she still sensed that something big had happened, so she ran over and grabbed Bria’s phone, turning it off at once! Then, she pressed her chest, panting hard.

Amelie is so evil! She taught Bria such a wicked move after Bria left for only a few days!

In fact, this matter really had nothing to do with Amelie.

The live broadcast account was started by Jamie for Bria, who sang and danced on it when she had nothing to do.

She was smart and cute with an adorable appearance.

Soon after, she managed to gain a large number of fans.

“Fortunately, we did not let this bast*rd tell them the address of our house.” Jodie came back to her senses, feeling thankful for a while.

She looked so hideous just now that she could not even recognize herself, nor could anyone else recognize her.

After rejoicing, she had on wicked look again and rushed toward Bria, screaming, “You little bast*rd! How dare you play this trick! See if I don’t beat you to death!”

As soon as she raised her hand, Mr. Cooper rushed in.

“Something has happened…”

Before he finished speaking, several police officers rushed over quickly, grabbed Jodie’s hand, and held her down!

Both Jodie and Melissa were stunned.

“What is the meaning of this?”

Melissa took a deep breath before she said, “This is my daughter, and that child is my granddaughter.

We are just educating the child.”

“Educate the child? 3000 people just saw Bria being abused!”

Amelie walked out from behind and held up her phone.

Her eyes were red and filled with tears; she was both angry and heartbroken.

She was also in the live broadcast just now and witnessed Jodie hurt Bria with her own eyes!

Amelie approached step by step, her eyes terribly dark.

Jodie felt guilty and wanted to step back.

However, her hands were held behind her and she could not move at all.

Amelie could not control her emotions as she grabbed Jodie’s collar.

“If I slap you, can I say that I’m just educating my former sister-in-law? Abuse is abuse, and it’s against the law no matter what the purpose is!”

If it were not for Leila restraining Amelie from behind, her hand would have fallen on Jodie.

“Miss Dillon, go see the child first.”

Leila knew that Amelie attached great importance to Bria.

At that moment, the former was afraid that Amelie’s impulsiveness would cause trouble and give Melissa an opportunity to take Bria away, so she tried to persuade Amelie.

Only then did Amelie let go of Jodie.

“Mommy.” Bria ran over and plunged into Amelie’s arms.

The way her mother looked at her aunt was terrifying but she knew that her mother wanted to protect her.

Amelie hugged Bria tightly, and when she saw the blue and purple marks on Bria’s little face, she felt so distressed that her heart nearly shattered.

She could no longer let Bria have any connection with the Alston Family.

Seeing that Amelie was about to take Bria away, Melissa quickly stopped her.

“Officers, this is actually a family affair.

Although the child’s aunt acted a little impulsively, it was all because the child was ignorant and broke an expensive vase.

Let us solve this in private.”

The police looked at Melissa and then at Amelie.

After all, it indeed was a family affair.

But if Amelie was not willing to let it go, it would be hard for them to withdraw.

Melissa was aware of that.

Hence, she walked over to Amelie.

“Let’s talk.”

Amelie was reluctant to let go of Bria, so Leila came over.

“I’ll hold Bria for you while you have a good chat with Mrs. Alston.”

Although she heard that Amelie had been getting close to Starlight Media recently, who could tell what would happen in the future? Right now, it was best not to offend the Alston Family.

Amelie knew what Leila was thinking.

She then followed Melissa to the side hall.

“How much is the loss today? I will compensate according to the market value.”

When they arrived at the side hall, Amelie was the first to speak.

Melissa snorted at her, looking at Amelie with eyes filled with reproach.

“Is that how you educate your child? Is it okay for her to just smash things worth tens of thousands without any care in the world? Is it okay for her to expose her own grandmother and aunt like that? Such a child will develop badly and plunge society into chaos! Amelie, the facts show that you don’t know how to raise children at all! Bria will only become worse if she stays with you! Instead of regretting it in the future, it’s better to plan for her now.”

“The plan you’re talking about is to keep her at the Alston Residence, right?” Amelie answered bluntly.

Melissa did not answer, showing her silent agreement.

Then, a sneer floated upon Amelie’s face.

“Bria’s behavior just now was indeed unacceptable, but why did she do it? She was brought in yesterday, but why did she break the vases today and not yesterday? I just saw that she has a lot of blue and purple marks on her body.

She must have been beaten.

What do you expect her to do? Does she really have to obey and do nothing when she is beaten?”

With just a few words, Amelie silenced Melissa.

Melissa frowned and was finally willing to look at Amelie.

This ex-daughter-in-law had completely changed since the divorce.

How could this be?

“What do you mean by being beaten? Jodie is her aunt.

If Bria has done something wrong, she should be educated!”

Melissa quickly continued, “If you had not made a big deal out of it, it would not have been like this! Don’t think that I will give up the custody of Bria just because you instigated Bria to use the live broadcast to force my hand.

That is impossible! Amelie, if you insist on taking Bria away, I will not help you cover up the fact that you’re a bad mother! The boss of Starlight Media is not an ordinary person.

He should care more about children’s education than ordinary people.

Do you think he will want a woman who teaches children to become extremely dangerous individuals as his wife?”

Amelie had to admit that Melissa’s ability to bullsh*t and force people to submit was really brilliant.

If Amelie had really hooked up with a wealthy man, she would definitely be frightened.

“Grandma, don’t blame Mommy! What happened just now was my own idea; it has nothing to do with her!” Bria ran in suddenly, stood in front of Amelie, and blocked Amelie with her small body.

“My teacher taught me that if someone does something unreasonable, even if they’re adults, we have to resist! Grandma, you and Aunt Jodie locked me up and would not let me see my mother; that was unreasonable!”

Seeing Bria’s heart-warming little gesture, Amelie felt relieved for a while.

She lowered herself and patted Bria’s little shoulder.

“Bria, don’t be afraid.

I’ll take you home after talking with your grandmother.

Go and be with Miss Potts for a while.”

Bria was a little worried, but she went out obediently.

“How much do you want to give up Bria’s custody?” Melissa repeated the old trick.

Amelie curved her lips.

“Since you’re so willing to give, Mrs. Alston, I want all of the Alston Family’s assets.”
