Chapter 30 Are You Really Sure You Won’t Regret Going Against Him?
“If I hadn’t said those words back then, what would the Alston Family be like?” Amelie stared straight at Leo’s face and cocked her head, a half-smile on her face.
At that time, Genesis Company was preparing to be listed, and the preparation work had been going on for 2 years.
Also, 80% of Genesis Company’s products were endorsed by Elyse.
As Elyse’s two-timing became a reality, the Alstons would suffer direct losses! The company would have no hopes of getting listed, and Leo’s efforts for those 2 years would be in vain! Product sales would decrease at a shocking rate, and Genesis would face an unprecedented financial crisis! Leo would be the one being cheated on, and he would become the joke of the city!
The rasher Amelie’s decisions were back then, the deeper her love for Leo.
He held her gaze for a few seconds.
Those few seconds warmed her heart slightly.
So, he still thought he had the upper hand, didn’t he?
“Stop changing the topic.
Where’s Bria?” Jodie feared that Leo would be convinced by Amelie and proceed to give up on Bria’s custody, so she hastily interrupted.
With that, Jodie walked over to Leo and tugged at him.
“Leo, this woman is very calculating.
Don’t fall into her trap.”
“Yes, Leo.” Melissa walked over as well.
“No matter what happened before, you two are already divorced.
You have to make a decision about the child!”
He averted his gaze from Melissa’s voice.
“Amelie, that’s another topic altogether.
If you want a part of the profit, the Alstons earned back then, get a lawyer to discuss it with me.
Now, I want Bria!” he said.
To him, even if the Alstons profited, it was only an unintentional side effect while Amelie carried out her plan.
“Hah!”
Her heart grew cold once again.
What was wrong with Amelie? Why was she still hoping for a trace of humanity in this cold-blooded and cruel family? Moreover, she was willing to try her best to keep things peaceful for Bria’s sake.
Until now, Leo still thought she was a materialistic woman and was always after his money! Since he thought she loved money, no amount of hard work from her would matter to him.
Why would she waste time on this?
Amelie suppressed the desolation and fury in her heart.
When she raised her head again, there was no longer any emotion on her face.
“Do you really want Bria?” Amelie asked.
Leo’s patience was quickly wearing thin from the constant back-and-forth, and he frowned deeply.
Melissa snorted coldly, wordless ridicule.
Jodie pouted.
“What a load of nonsense!”
“Take your time to answer.
Have a look at this first.”
With that, she lowered her head and dialed a number.
“Come here.”
In under 2 minutes, a car drove in.
Julia stepped out of the car.
“Amelie, what are you bringing Julia here for?” Seeing Julia, Jodie put on a guarded expression.
“Are you playing the old trick? Are you going to spread this incident all over the internet?”
She stayed silent, ignoring Jodie and her words right out.
This made Jodie feel like she was a nobody in front of Amelie and wasn’t even a threat to the latter.
Her expression darkened considerably.
In addition, her words became even crueler.
“I’m telling you, there’s no use even if you broadcast this to the whole world! Bria is a child of the Alston Family, and no one can change that! You’d better stop playing tricks and hand over the child nicely.
Perhaps my brother will give you some money for birthing the child!”
“Hah!”
Julia laughed aloud, without a care in the world.
Jodie, who hadn’t seen much of the world, thought the Alstons were the only wealthy family.
Amelie’s wealth was so great that she couldn’t even spend it all, so why would she go after the Alstons’ meager coins?
However, Jodie refused to back off as she said with increasing viciousness, “Is 2 million enough for you? The boss of Starlight Media is rich, but the money is all his.
You can’t keep asking him for money like a beggar, can you? With this 2 million, you’ll be able to feel some pride and parade around! Then, we can be sure we didn’t mistreat you!”
Julia waited until she was almost done before speaking up.
“Relax, Amy isn’t the only one.
Even Bria doesn’t intend to cause you to worry.”
She took out a piece of paper and waved it at the crowd.
“This is a carte blanche.
