Chapter 161 The Devastated Jodie
Rebecca smirked, "Oh, don't worry, nothing will go wrong! I've already arranged everything with the media."
"When reporters spot Olivia and Reuben leaving the hotel tomorrow, you can expect some news stories related to this incident to hit the headlines."
"Solid Proof of Riley-Burke Family Union: Reuben Burke and Olivia Riley's Sweet Date Hints at Good News Ahead..."
Rebecca chuckled, "Once this news gets out, you can bet the stock prices for both families to shoot up. Grab some shares at a bargain tomorrow morning, and in just a few days, you'll have that million-dollar loss back in your pocket, won't you?"
Listening to Rebecca, Victoria found her words increasingly convincing and nodded, "Alright, I'll follow what you've said."
Of course, Victoria wasn't placing complete trust in Rebecca!
She had to take action to ensure her plan's success!
Tomorrow night, she planned to set Max up with a woman using Rebecca's name.
She would then record a video of that scene to show Olivia, hoping it would convince her to give up of Max entirely.
In any case, she wouldn't allow her daughter to align with Curtis's group!
Unaware of Victoria's thoughts, Rebecca stood up and said, "Alright then, let's split up, each handling our own tasks. Make sure to find a way to keep your son, Logan, occupied. Our plans for tomorrow night might get complicated if he's around."
"Got it." Victoria agreed and promptly made a call to the archaeological team.
Soon after, Logan, who had just arrived at Jodie's doorstep in the countryside, received a call from his head.
"Hey Logan, we've made a new discovery here! There's a piece of fragment with oracle bone script on it. Since you're skilled in this area, come and take a look, help us translate."
As soon as Logan heard 'oracle bone script', he was as excited as Leo hearing about 'X-ring Antibodies'. He immediately replied, "Sure, boss. Just wait for me. I'll buy a plane ticket and head back right away."
Ending the call, Logan noticed Jodie and her brother coming out. At first, they were taken aback by his presence. But they then secretly pleased.
"Hey, Logan, what brings you here?" Jodie still appeared weak and wasn't feeling well.
Upon seeing Jodie, Logan's initial excitement waned slightly, "Uh... I need to talk to you."
Jodie and her brother exchanged a glance, both feeling thrilled.
Jodie put on a show of discomfort as she approached Logan and said, "Hey Logan, what's going on?"
Logan glanced at Jodie's brother behind her and irritably said, "The team wants us back as soon as possible. So, I'm here to pick you up. Go grab your luggage, quick."
After speaking, Logan turned and headed back to his car, leaving Jodie standing alone with her hair disheveled in the wind.
What? Back to the archaeological team?
Even if he was here to bring her back, shouldn't he help with her luggage?
Couldn't he notice she was feeling unwell?
While she might have been exaggerating her condition a bit, she truly wasn't feeling well.
After all, the artificial insemination procedure last night left her feeling as though her body had been split open!
Jodie had no choice but to tell her brother, "Can you help me get the luggage down?"
The entire Cook family relied on Jodie, so her brother naturally complied with her request. After loading the luggage into the trunk, Jodie was about to open the passenger seat door.
Logan grabbed the door handle and lifted his chin, "Sit in the back."
Feeling devastated, Jodie felt a pang in her heart.
From the past until now, she often went on business trips with Logan.
But whenever Logan drove his own car, he insisted that she sat in the back, reserving the passenger seat as Adeline's exclusive spot.
Jodie wasn't satisfied, so she opened the door of the passenger seat and coquettishly said, "Hey Logan, I'm feeling a bit carsick today and don't feel like sitting in the back. Can I sit in the front?"
With watery eyes and a pitiful look, she seemed delicate and vulnerable.
Her injured appearance was genuine too.
After all, she had taken off Logan's clothes last night, kissed him all over, and even helped him...
In her mind, that counted as intimate contact between them.
How could Logan possibly refuse her today?
However, in the next instant, Logan's face remained impassive as he said, "No, sit in the back. I promised this seat to Adeline, and I won't let any other woman sit here."
"Even me?" Jodie's jealousy was about to drive her crazy, though her expression was on the verge of tears.
"Yes, even you!" Logan replied firmly and decisively.
Jodie could only begrudgingly move back to the seat at the back. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
After driving for a while, Logan pulled the car over to the side of the road.
Taken aback, Jodie heard Logan started speaking.
"Well, I have a friend. He got drunk last night and ended up sleeping with a woman who wasn't his girlfriend..."
