Chapter 337 Don’t Mess With Her
“I won’t touch you,” Amelie spoke lightly and calmly. Although there was no imposing manner, Jodie could see a hidden threat in her eyes.
Ignoring Jodie’s caution, Amelie smiled faintly. “However, you are right, Miss Alston. I shouldn’t have any more contact with Mr. Alston. Please tell your brother for me that I’ll leave now, and we should try not to see each other in the future if possible.”
After speaking, she walked out.
Jodie was speechless. What’s going on? Amelie listened to me so obediently? Did the sun rise in the west?
Jodie was confused by Amelie’s move, and even her sunglasses fell off her forehead without her realizing it. “Hmph, she just married the boss of Starlight Media! What’s so great about that?” Jodie immediately scoffed.
Amelie’s attitude had turned into a form of showing off in Jodie’s eyes. But it’s true, she could show off as much as she wants to because she married a first-rate man despite being a divorced woman. Ugh! Meanwhile, the men who approached me are either desperate or want to gain some benefit from our family, whereas the men I like don’t even care to look at me. The more Jodie thought about it, the more jealous she became of Amelie. She pounded the table in anger.
“Leo.” Leo had just come out of the restroom when he was blocked by Melissa.
“Mom, why are you here?” Leo’s face showed obvious displeasure as he spoke with a flat tone.
Melissa tried hard to calm herself down but couldn’t suppress the turmoil in her heart. She spoke with a hint of aggression. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you still in contact with Amelie? Don’t you know she’s already married? You know how bad her reputation is, not to mention your past relationship with her… Leo, listen to my advice and stay away from Amelie! The further the better!”
Melissa felt that even if “Foxy” and Toby were now involved, it was because of Leo’s ties to Amelie. The more she thought about it, the more she despised Amelie. “That woman is obviously not a good person! She might have already hooked up with the boss of Starlight Media before she divorced you. This kind of indecent woman will only bring you trouble! She—”
“She’s not the kind of person you think she is. Don’t say things like that about her again!” Leo interrupted her before Melissa could finish.
Leo’s face became even darker than before, with a coldness that could freeze the air. Melissa felt uneasy after hearing what he said; it was as if he would have been violent toward her if she weren’t his mother. Is Amelie really that important to him? The more Melissa realized this, the more nervous she became.
She couldn’t act recklessly in front of Leo and had to speak slowly and calmly. “I don’t mean anything. I just hope you can stay away from her. In any case, she’s married, and doing this is for her and her family’s own good, right?”
Leo laughed lightly, tilting his head to reveal his sharp jawline. “Don’t you remember? A while ago, you were daydreaming about us being together, and you were even willing to scheme for it to happen.”
“Me?” Melissa looked confused. “How is that possible?”
Although she briefly thought that the two of them could get back together, she absolutely did not purposely scheme for it! Leo didn’t explain himself and just walked past her, leaving the restroom area. In the hallway, Leo quickly scanned the seats, but Amelie was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he saw his sister Jodie stamping her feet and slamming the table, looking very angry.
Frowning, he quickly walked over to her and asked, “Where is she?” His tone was cold and icy.
