Chapter 487 What To Do?
Reuben and Joanne were already living together,
Their wedding was just three months away.
They wanted to prevent Joanne’s pregnancy from becoming too pronounced.
After returning home, Reuben comforted Joanne.
He suggested sending Jodie abroad so that she wouldn’t have to worry.
Joanne thought for a moment, leaning against his chest.
She said. “It wouldn’t be appropriate for someone else to send her away.”
“If your mother finds out, she’ll cause a scene.”
“Or, let me handle it. I’ll arrange for someone to send her abroad
She thought this little troublemaker had it coming, wanting to go abroad. No problem. After all, going to Africa for mining is also considered going abroad.
And that woman, Salma, had publicly mistreated her before and had always opposed our marriage.
She could use this opportunity to vent her anger toward Salma.
Whenever Salma was mentioned, Reuben would get a headache.
He was also afraid and said, ‘Alright. Then, I’ll leave it to you to handle.”
“When the time comes, I’ll have my assistant transfer the money to you.”
That works, too. He didn’t want to see Jodie again.
She smiled and k*ssed him, “Why should we talk about money between us? It’s a small matter. We should be polite to each other. That’s when I’ll get angry.”
Reuben smiled. “Okay. You truly are my supportive partner.”
Joanne may appear arrogant and overbearing to the outside world,
toward him, and that was enough.
As for whom to marry, he didn’t care. The key was usefulness.
but she was gentle and considerate
Being with Joanne, he wouldn’t go out and fool around or have any ambiguous relationships with other
Women.
He would focus on his career, and she would be a good wife
The next day, Joanne took the initiative to visit Jodie’s residence
Looking down at Jodie, she said, “My fiancé wants to send you abroad, so I’ll take care of it
1/5
Jodie’s face was still swollen, and she looked surprised. “How is that possible? Rel for a secretary to send me abroad.”
If this woman were to handle it, it definitely wouldn’t turn out well.
Joanne sneered, “Having me, the supportive partner, handle it is the same.”
“Jodie, let me look in the mirror and see what kind of person I am.”
“Just based on your character, forget about seducing my fiancé. No man would pay attention to you even if you shouted on the street.”
Jodie pursed her l*ps. “I don’t seduce him. Don’t misunderstand.
When in someone else’s house, one has to be humble.
She knew how ruthless Joanne could be.
But Joanne didn’t believe her and said to the few people she brought. “Have a good time with Miss Gray, Then, send her abroad tomorrow.”
Jodie widened her eyes. “What do you want to do? You can’t do this to me.”
Ioanne sneered, “Haven’t you always been lacking a man? I’m just helping you out!
“Don’t pretend to be innocent. Your online activities have been exposed. Everyone knows about it.”
Then, she stood up and said to the male b*dyguards, I’m leaving. You guys take care of it.”
The b*dyguards nodded. “Yes, Miss Joanne.”
After Joanne left, Jodie was dragged into the room.
Photos and videos were taken.
Joanne used them to threaten Jodie, forcing her to stay abroad obediently. Otherwise, she would release them.
Jodie couldn’t find anyone to help her, so she had to endure for now.
Another day passed, and Joanne’s associate sent her to a beautiful country.
In the beautiful country, Joanne’s people called through video.
She deliberately made Reuben watch.
Because of her people and the threats, Jodie could only reluctantly say she was doing well.
In reality, whether she was doing well or not, Reuben didn’t care at all.
But he still pretended to remind her to live a good life in the future.
After Joanne left Reuben’s office, she sent Salma the photos taken of Jodie at prominent buildings in the beautiful country.
9/5
She also mentioned that she was the one who sent Jodie abroad.
The more Salma wanted to harm Jodie, the more Joanne would protect her.
Salma was furious and called Reuben to scold him.
Reuben didn’t indulge his mother. He put the phone aside and continued working.
He wasn’t angry about his fiancée’s actions.”
After all, his mother had gone too far.
Salma realized that her eldest son wasn’t listening to her and angrily hung up the phone.
Then, she called her other sons to complain.
But every time she called, they would find excuses to say they were busy and hang up immediately.
Salma was once again infuriated and ended up in the hospital.
However, because she had been in this state too many times, from Steven to her five sons, no one came to visit her in the hospital.
This made Salma feel lonely and sad, but she could do nothing.
A few days later, Jodie was transferred to Africa
Reuben also noticed something was wrong
Joanne was pregnant, so he didn’t touch her anymore.
But these past few nights, he would always have an urge.
However, when he saw Joanne, he suddenly felt disgusted and lost interest.
Instead, his mind was filled with thoughts of Jodie,
After taking a cold shower and calming down, he would still dream at night, dreaming about Jodie. He wasn’t stupid. He immediately thought of the day when Jodie threw herself at him.
Waking up from that dream again, a strong desire grew in his heart.
He wanted Jodie. He only wanted Jodie Gray.
He suppressed this desire.
Reuben got up and called Titus in the living room.
Titus was awakened in the middle of the night and asked irritably, “What are you doing. Reuben, in the middle of the night?” Reuben asked, “You told me earlier that Freya poisoned Haruld.” Upon hearing this, Titus instantly became adert. “Yes. If it weren’t for Simone helping to break the curse, he would have woken up as a puppet of Freya
He inquired, “Have you been poisoned as well?” He had explicitly called his brother earlier, and although
3/5
he didn’t mention Jodie, he did talk about Harold being poisoned.
It was a brotherly reminder.
But it appeared that this individual had indeed become a venom victim.
Reuben explained his situation. “I suspect that I have also fallen under the venom.”
Titus was taken aback. “Your situation is different from Harold’s.”
“But it’s similar to Leon’s father.”
“He is poisoned and can’t have physical contact with other women, and he will feel nauseous.”
“He can only touch his ex-wife.”
He asked, “So now, besides Jodie, do you not react to anyone else?’ Reuben’s expression changed. “Yes.”
“Well, Reuben. You’re in trouble.”
“If the venom isn’t broken, you might have to live the rest of your life without physical intimacy.”
“Or you’ll end up marrying Jodie? But even if Mom and Dad don’t object, the Belle Family won’t let you off the book.”
“I warned you before. Jodie is not a good person, but you didn’t listen, and now you’re poisoned.”
Reuben’s face darkened when he heard the gloating words coming from his brother on the phone. “Be quiet.
Then, he changed the subject. ‘Can you help me get in touch with Simone and ask her for help?” Titus rolled his eyes. “Don’t you just tell me to be quiet? I can’t.”
“Simone doesn’t even talk to me anymore, so you can contact her yourself.”
group chat
When Luca and the other two saw it, they were speechless. But at the same time, they were looking forward to watching the drama unfold.
After saying that, he hung up and shared the news of Reuben being poisoned in the
Finally, it was Reuben’s turn.

Reuben endured the torment and contacted Simone after arriving at the company in the morning.
Simone had blocked his contact information, so he had to borrow someone else’s phone to call her.
Simone knew it was only a matter of time before Reuben fell victim to the venom.
She directly refused his request for help.
Reuben had no choice but to seek advice from Mr. Foster.
He learned that Simone had helped Mr. Foster break the venom, and he had already returned to normal.
4/5
While he breathed a sigh of relief he also felt a headache.
If Simone wouldn’t help him, what should he do? He regretted even more now that he had been foolish enough to help Jodie.
She was indeed a heartless and cunning person.
