Amelie was taken aback for a moment. It was not like she hadn’t thought about this question before, but she always felt that the reasons she came up with were too far-fetched.
All this while, she had little to no interaction with Elyse, knowing her only through Leo. Now that she and Leo were divorced, Elyse had no reason to target her anymore.
“Probably because she’s jealous of my talent,” she deduced.
Julia was amused by her response and chuckled. “Well, you’d better be careful then. From now on, all the live streamers on the internet will probably be jealous of your talent. You might even have people trying to assassinate you every day.”
After exchanging a few jokes, they hung up.
Then, Amelie lowered her head and flipped through the official Twitter account of ‘Show Your Love’. As she had expected, the whole of Twitter was in chaos because of her and Elyse’s affair; Their fans were even bickering with each other.
Since Elyse’s fan base was too small, it was not enough to make an impact. They were all attacked by Amelie’s fans whenever they wanted to start an argument. After that, none of them dared leave any comments anymore. Gradually, the whole event turned from argument to discussion.
Everyone expressed their understanding for Amelie to go public with her ‘relationship’, but there was some occasional criticism, saying that she had poor taste and wondering why she chose a fake b*tch like Elyse.
Following that, someone exposed a bunch of Elyse’s indecent behaviors.
The production team loved effects like this. So, they didn’t address these comments. Instead, they released a teaser saying that they’d recruited a male guest and that there would be surprises for the next episode.
The characteristic of the show ‘Show Your Love’ was that they first gathered all the female or male guests and then, through their appearance on the first episode, attracted celebrities or well-known individuals who were interested in these guests to sign up for the show.
Amelie participated in this show purely to mess with Elyse, so she didn’t care about who the male guest on the next episode would be. After only taking a glance at the teaser, she closed it right away.
After calming down, she couldn’t help but think of the question Julia had asked as she propped her chin up.
The next day, she took Bria downstairs to go to school as usual. Since their house wasn’t far from the kindergarten, she decided to walk Bria there.
The morning air was fresh, and Halport, as a model of a civilized city in the country, was green with lush trees and clean water. There were even birds flying around, truly living up to its reputation as a desirable city.
Along the way, Bria bounced and hopped, greeting every street vendor. She was cute and friendly, which made all the vendors like her. In the end, her arms were full of soy milk, croissants, and sandwiches that the vendor gave her.
When Amelie saw Bria carrying a variety of breakfast items in her arms, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Is this a genetic mutation? She wasn’t someone who could talk to anyone. Only when she was on air would she be more relaxed. As for Leo, his quiet personality made it impossible for him to be loved by everyone.
Just as she was immersed in her thoughts, a white car drove past her at a distance of mere inches from her foot, startling her. She quickly pulled Bria to the side, away from the road, and her eyes followed the car instinctively. At this moment, what she saw was a beautiful face full of hatred. Elyse?
Elyse’s car drove off without stopping. At once, Amelie’s gaze turned bloodcurdling.
When Amelie arrived at the kindergarten, she saw Elyse’s car parked on the side of the building, partially covered by the leaves. When the car window was wound down, she could see Elyse’s white clothes and her tightly clenched jaw. Seemingly afraid of being recognized, she was wearing large sunglasses as well.
Amelie didn’t look any further and calmly handed Bria over to the teacher, instructing the teacher to pay close attention to her safety.
