Chapter 21
Shattered What Little Love There Was Too afraid to tell Amelie, Mr. Cooper merely pointed at his phone.
“The news.” He then swiftly walked away. “The news?” Amelie hurriedly pulled out her phone and looked at the headlines for the day. Today’s headlines were basically all about Elyse’s computer having been infected by a virus. The contents leaked listed quite a number of dual contracts. However, there was soon a new headline that popped up and swiftly went viral. When Amelie glanced at it, she immediately saw Starlight Media mentioned in the article. She finished reading the article in a few short moments, and what she saw made her gasp. The new headline was related to the leaked emails of Elyse. However, the content was about the mysterious boss of Starlight Media who had secretly been married for four years.
Recently, the boss had been found to have been cheating on his wife with a certain divorcee that went by the surname Dillon. There were no pictures of Starlight Media’s owner, just an outline of a human with a question mark edited over the face. However, the picture of her attached to the article was crystal clear. Thus, was this article the reason Leo disqualified her as a mother and stole Bria from her? The owner of Starlight Media was a mysterious figure.
The moment the article was posted, lots of people clicked in to read it. In fact, the article was so popular that the dual contracts found in Elyse’s email had been forgotten about. Now that Amelie knew what was going on, she found herself speechless. Was there anything more hilarious than being accused of cheating on herself with herself? “Hey, why is there trash standing in front of my home?” shrieked a sharp voice. Jodie had arrived home some time ago.
Dressed in an extremely short dress, she gasped in fake surprise with her mini handbag on her arm. Amelie put away her phone and ignored Jodie.
She thereafter walked away from the Alston Residence. To her surprise, Jodie did not get angry.
Instead, she cackled.
“Your dirty laundry is being aired for the world to see.
Stop pretending to be some virtuous woman!” “Don’t think I do not know why you are here.
My brother brought that b*stard home and you want her back, right?” “B*stard?” Amelie repeated as her sharp gaze bore into Jodie. Jodie was Bria’s aunt.
How could she call Bria a b*stard? “That’s right! She is a b*stard! Anything that crawls out of your womb will always be a b*stard child!” Jodie had flinched for a moment when faced with Amelie’s sharp eyes, but soon gathered the courage to shriek. “Don’t think I do not know your plan to get back together with my brother using that brat,” she continued.
“Also, I know my brother talked to you last night about remarrying you.
It is your fault something this scandalous made the news! Do you know why he believes it to be true? It is because I told him how Starlight Media’s owner set up a charity organization in that brat’s name! That 200 million is proof of your involvement with him!” No wonder. Amelie now thoroughly understood what had happened. No matter how much of a fool Leo was, he would never have easily believed one email. It was all because of Jodie’s interference. “Oh, right.
I was the one who had someone email Elyse about your scandalous affair,” Jodie stated. “Initially, I only wanted her to show the email to Leo.
I did not expect a hacker to leak it to the world.” “Oh, what fun!” Carla was actually the mastermind behind this entire scheme. Nevertheless, Jodie was claiming the credit for it all just so she could infuriate Amelie. “What a pity,” she said.
“Even if you pay us 200 million, you will never get that brat back again!” Jodie’s face shone with visible glee at Amelie’s distress. “Oh, by the way,” she continued, “Starlight Media’s boss is married too.
Say, Amelie, would his wife come looking for you? You have hung her marriage’s dirty laundry out for the world to see.
