Chapter 486 Shameless Behavior

Reuben glanced at Jodie’s pitiful appearance and no longer felt sorry for her as he once did. He began

to see her more as a Madam than his sister. Nevertheless, he reluctantly agreed. “Alright. I’ll have a

last meal with you

He implied that she shouldn’t expect him to join her for meals.

After finishing their meal, he arranged for his secretary to send Jodie abroad for a few days. This way,

would be free from her mother’s oppression and wouldn’t have to worry about her immediate future.

Having fulfilled his duty as a brother for so many years, there was no need for any further connection

between them.

Jodie’s eyes lit up with joy. “Thank you, Reuben.” Then, he drove to a high-end restaurant.

Upon arriving, Reuben deliberately chose a table in the corner of the dining hall instead of requesting a

private room. He was afraid that being alone with Jodie in a private room would lead to her bothering

him.

She understood why Reuben avoided a private room, and her resentment grew stronger.

As they ate, she reminisced about the little moments they had shared as siblings.

He listened quietly, occasionally smiling in response.

When Jodie finished speaking, he wiped his mouth and smiled. Jo, a person can’t dwell on memories

their whole life. No matter how beautiful those memories are, you must move forward.”

He was implying that he wasn’t interested in playing emotional games anymore.

Jodie was speechless. This guy is truly shameless.

Suppressing her displeasure, she nodded and smiled. “Reuben is right. After this trip down memory

lane. I will cherish it and never bring it up again.”

She raised her glass. “Reuben, I toast to you.”

She reached into her bag and held a venom with her other hand.

Reuben raised his glass and clinked it with hers.

She was about to take a sip but accidentally knocked over the vase on the table.

The wine glass fell, spilling a lot of red wine on Reuben’s sleeve.

Jodie grabbed a tissue from the table, hurriedly stood up, and sat beside Reuben to help him wipe his

sleeve.

In the process, she pressed her whole body against him. “Reuben, I’m sorry. It is unintentional.“

At the same time, she discreedy placed the venom she was holding onto his neck.

Just then, Joanne rushed in with two bodyguards.

She hurried to the table and grabbed Jodie’s hair, slapping her a few times.

“You shameless woman. You have no shame at all. You tried to seduce my fiance.

She picked up the wine from the table and poured it over Jodie’s head.

Then, she pulled Jodie up from her seat by her hair and dragged her across the floor. pushed Jodie to

the ground and continued to beat and pinch her.

“You slut. When you are part of the Gray Family, you always try to seduce the Gray brothers.”

“You are all over the Gray brothers and even become a trending topic.”

“Now you want to seduce my fiancé, but look at yourself. You’re nothing compared to him.”

“And you look like you could be my fiancé’s mother. How dare you be so shameless?”

She grabbed Jodie’s head, slapping her car and smashing her head against the ground.

Having grown up fighting, Joanne knew how to inflict pain.

She had wanted to hit her back when they were still part of the Gray Family.

She couldn’t stand her constant flirting with the Gray brothers.

When Jodie was with Reuben, she kept a close eye on her to prevent this promiscuous woman from

seducing him

When she heard the report that Jodie had come alone to meet Reuben and that they were having

dinner here, she followed them.

She sat in another corner and observed.

She noticed that her fiancé was reserved, rarely speaking, and keeping his distance.

She was satisfied.

Indeed. When Reuben was with someone, he wouldn’t flirt with another woman.

She hadn’t planned on intervening, but then she saw Jodie deliberately knock over a glass of wine.

She went to help Reuben clean up the wine, but she took advantage of the situation and pressed her

body against him, Joanne couldn’t tolerate it.

This incident allowed her to teach Jodie a lesson and release the anger she had been holding in.

At the same time, she wanted Reuben to see that she wouldn’t tolerate any betrayal.

Jodie was always on edge, so she had no defenses.

She didn’t even have time to react when Joanne slapped her a few times.

Then, she was dragged to the ground and held down. “Ah. What are you doing?” She screamed while

trying to scratch Joanne. “Let go of me. You’re the slut. It is you who use me and plot against my

brother.”

“You deliberately get drunk just to have a relationship with my brother. You practically throw yourself at

him.

“You’re the shameless sluc

But as soon as Jodie made a move, she was caught by the bodyguards Joanne had brought,

Hearing her words, Joanne became even more furious.

This promiscuous woman had always pursued her fiancé, and she would never allow Jodie to succeed.

If Reuben hadn’t been present, she would have used the steak knife on the table to slash her face.

But she could have someone do it later.

Jodie was caught by the bodyguard and mercilessly beaten by Joanne.

She couldn’t break free and couldn’t help but shout. “Reuben, save me.”

Reuben watched coldly for a moment and heard her cries.

Then, he spoke slowly, “Joanne, stop hitting her.”

Joanne, still holding onto Jodie’s hair, looked up at him. “Do you feel sorry for her?” He chuckled and

reached out to fix her disheveled hair.

With a hint of tenderness in his eyes, he said, “I don’t feel sorry for her. I’m just concerned that you’ll

tire yourself out from hitting her, which isn’t good for the child you’re carrying

Reuben was handsome and refined, and his gentle expression melted her heart

She forcefully knocked Jodie’s head a few more times before releasing her and standing up.

She sat next to Reuben, reached out, and held his arm. “Hone She deliberately leaned her head on

Reuben’s shoulder. you’re the best.”

Looking down at Jodie, she asserted her dominance. “You see. My fiancé doesn’t even want to

acknowledge your existence”

She coldly snorted, issuing a warning. “If I catch you harassing him again, I will ensure you regret it.”

Jodie looked up at Joanne with anger, but she also knew she was powerless against this woman.

What surprised and hurt her the most was that Reuben watched her being beaten and expressed

sympathy for Joanne.

He was truly heartless and cruel.

“Reuben, are you just going to stand there and watch her assault me? I am innocent. She falsely

accused

Reuben gazed at her and calmly replied, “We are indeed innocent. Joanne came over to help me clean

my sleeve.”

He didn’t believe that Jodie accidentally knocked over the wine glass just

He had witnessed women employing these tactics in front of their lovers too many times.

Jodie was becoming increasingly despicable, attempting to cling to him using these methods.

His feelings for her had always been that of siblings, never crossing any boundaries.

Now, he was starting to feel a bit annoyed.

She saw Reuben defending Joanne and felt even more bitter and uncomfortable.

This used to be how she was treated.

She looked at Reuben with a wounded expression, not uttering a word but displaying stubbornness.

Reuben observed Jodie, her face bruised and swollen, her makeup smeared with red wine, making her

appear even older, and she found it irritating.

He instructed Joanne, “Have your bodyguard escort her back.”

Joanne was delighted with her fiance’s attitude.

She directed one of the bodyguards. Take her back.

Then, she linked arms with Reuben and departed triumphantly,

Leaving behind Jodie, with clenched fists and a gaze filled with hatred, her head lowered.
