The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 477 Shall I Set a Fire? 

After Jodie and Reuben finished speaking, she called her best friend’ Joanne.

This close friend of hers has always had feelings for Reuben.

It was only because Reuben got engaged to Valerie that Joanne was forced to give up.

After Valerie broke off the engagement, Joanne approached Reuben, but he always avoided her.

Neither the Belle Family nor the Gray Family had ever considered a marriage between the two as Joanne’s mother, and Salma had a feud, and both of them were daughters of wealthy families who had never gotten along since childhood.

Even the marriage that was originally supposed to be between Belle Family and Steven was taken away by Salma.

The two families were known to be at odds with each other in their circles.

Just like when Salma was exposed, Sabrina even paid netizens to go online and criticize her.

When something happened to Sabrina’s family before, Salma also betrayed them.

Joanne wanted to be with Reuben, and Sabrina was the first to oppose it,

As his wife almost ended up with Steven back then, Benjamin has always held a grudge against him.

The Belle Family and the Gray Family actually had many complementary industries, and cooperation would be more beneficial than harmful.

But Benjamin resolutely refused to cooperate with the Gray Family, and naturally, Steven would not to do so either. The two of them usually had a very cold relationship

The idea that Reuben gave Jodie was for her to call Sabrina, asking Sabrina to help her hire a lawyer and assist her in the lawsuit.

Sabrina had a nephew who was a great lawyer and was very skilled in handling lawsuits.

As such, Sabrina might be willing to do something that went against Salma.

The relationship between Jodie and Joanne was actually just superficial.

It was because Joanne wanted to get close to Reuben-that was why she became closer to Jodie.

Jodie often boasted in front of Joanne about how much Reuben doted on her.

Joanne was envious of Reuben’s love for Jodie, while Jodie envied and was jealous of Joanne’s status as a wealthy daughter.

The two of them were typical enemies, and they even secretly disliked each other.

Joanne knew that Jodie had gotten into trouble and was kicked out of the Gray Family, so she took pleasure in her misfortune.

Now that she received a plea for help from Jodie, she didn’t want to bother with it.

But when she heard Jodie say that it was Reuben who asked her to find her, she didn’t immediately refuse

After hanging up the phone, Joanne contacted Reuben.

When Reuben saw Joanne’s call, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

He answered the call.

Joanne straightforwardly asked, “Reuben, don’t you want Jodie to go to jail?”

Reuben sighed. “Although I dislike and don’t approve of the things she has done, her biological parents are considered enemies of our family. But she was young at that time and didn’t participate in the events. Plus, that card was indeed given to her by my mother. She has been my sister for so many years, so it’s hard for me to see her go to jail. If she doesn’t have to go to jail this time, it can be considered as fulfilling the last bit of sibling affection between us. After this, there will be no relationship between her and me.”

He didn’t explicitly say that he wanted Joanne’s help, but the implication was clear.

Upon hearing this, Joanne felt delighted.

She had long been disgusted by Reuben’s favoritism towards Jodie, as well as Jodie’s shameless scheming.

Previously, it was Jodie’s disgusting behavior that led to Valerie’s broken engagement.

She actually had a strong aversion to the relationship between Reuben and Jodie.

In fact, when Reuben and Valerie were engaged, Joanne confessed her feelings to him while drunk, hoping to fight for a chance.

But he rejected her and emphasized that he would not betray his fiancée, wishing her to find someone better than him.

However, she had liked him since school and didn’t think anyone could be better than him.

She contacted him several times afterward, but his attitude was always cold in order to avoid suspicion from Valerie.

Although she was hurt, she also felt more devoted to her love for him and envied Valerie.

Because of these things, she had no reason or excuse to get close to him again.

She could only keep that love in her heart.

After he broke off the engagement, she tried to reach out to him again, but his attitude was still cold.

In a fit of anger, she went abroad and only recently returned.

Originally, she was ready to give up and follow her family’s arrangements to get together with another. wealthy young man

But Jodie’s plea for help and Reuben’s attitude suddenly gave her some hope.

Now was a good opportunity to get close to him again, and she wanted to fight for it of especially when Reuben said that he would sever ties with Jodie after this incident.

She would no longer have to be disgusted by their intimate affection, which was really grear.

He was indeed the man she had set her sights on.

Although she disliked Jodie, the fact that he was willing to lend a helping hand at a time like this showed that he had a sense of humanity and strong emotions.

She was just about to say that she could help Jodie, but Reuben changed the topic. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

She didn’t have a chance to say it until the call ended.

But it didn’t matter, as she would help the man she had liked for so many years.

Afterward, she would find a chance to talk to him more about this matter and reconnect with him.

And so, she went to find her biological mother.

Of course, Joanne wouldn’t say that she wanted to help Jodie because of Reuben.

Her mother would definitely oppose it without hesitation.

Instead, she would say that helping Jodie avoid jail time meant humiliating Salma.

This would make Salma unable to vent her anger and cause her to lose her reputation.

Sabrina had a very negative impression of Jodie, especially after all those online rumors that suggested Jodie had a bad character.

Under normal circumstances, Sabrina would never offer any help.

However, Salma was truly the person she disliked the most, and she was willing to do something to retaliate against her.

Hence, Sabrina agreed to help.

With the involvement of the renowned lawyer and considering that Salma had previously authorized Jodie to make multiple money transfers from her card, it became evident that Salma had given her consent.

Furthermore, it can be assumed that Salma received a notification after Jodie completed the transfer.

However, Salma did not report it to the police at that time, implying her tacit approval.

During that period, the two of them shared a close mother-daughter bond.

It was apparent that Salma falsely accused Jodie only after their falling out.

Moreover, Salna failed to provide any evidence of Josie’s card theft.

Consequently, she could only helplessly witness Jodie’s release.

Nevertheless, Salma refused to give up. If this plan failed, she would explore alternative methods to ensure Jodie’s imprisonment.

She firmly believed that Jodie couldn’t escape every time.

Her disdain for Sabrina had reached new heights.

Meanwhile, Simone was aware of Sabrina’s intervention in assisting Jodie

On that particular day, she had dinner with Zac.

Zac brought up the topic and gazed at her, asking. Simone, what if I exacerbate the situation? It doesn’t have to be theft. We can change it to fraud or something else.”

If he took action, it would guarantee Jodie’s long-term incarceration.
