My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 259

“Why are you here alone?” Downstairs, Jodie was still angry when she heard someone ask her a question. She irritably looked up and saw who was approaching, then she frowned in disgust. “Get lost!”

Elyse was used to her arrogant attitude and wasn’t surprised by it. In the past, Elyse couldn’t stand it and even fought with Leo because of Jodie’s behavior. As a direct result of that incident, he reprimanded his sister, resulting in Elyse and her developing a negative impression of each other.

Moreover, she had a reason for approaching Jodie, so she didn’t mind her arrogance. She pretended to be friendly and said, “I don’t mean anything else by coming here. It’s late at night, and it’s deserted around here. You’ve never experienced this, so I thought I’d watch for you.” Then, she leaned in and pointed to the top of their heads, speaking in a hushed voice that only they could hear. “Cameras are installed here in advance, and the production team watches our every move. We can’t talk nonsense.”

After hearing those cameras were installed, Jodie suddenly remembered that she was participating in a TV show. So, is the earlier incident in which Blake rejected me captured on camera? She was very concerned about her image and felt embarrassed at the thought of the production team seeing her viciousness. In addition, she felt so humiliated and annoyed that her face turned red. I hate this! I would never have come if I had known it would be on this terrible TV show! Later, she wished she could disappear immediately and return to her comfortable home as if nothing had happened.

Then, Elyse patted her shoulder understandingly and led her to a large tree. Since the tree had so many leaves, Elyse reasoned, nobody would go near it, and the production team wouldn’t bother to install cameras there. After ensuring it was safe, she comforted Jodie with a few words. “It’s fine. The production team will decide what to broadcast regardless of what is captured on camera. Moreover, the Alston Family is a force to be reckoned with. They definitely won’t air any clips that upset you and Leo.”

Soon, Jodie’s complexion improved a little after hearing her words. If those clips were broadcasted, the entire country would see Blake ignoring her, and she would be embarrassed to face people in her social circle in the future. Even if they weren’t aired, she couldn’t be reckless and forget about it. After all, the production team knew, and while they wouldn’t say it out loud, they must be laughing at her in their hearts. She thought about it and felt so upset that her eyes turned red.

“By the way, where’s Blakey?” Elyse asked, pretending to care.

However, Jodie pouted and didn’t respond.

Nevertheless, Elyse pretended not to know Blake had rejected her and praised him. “Blake is a great person. He’s good-looking, talented, has a good personality, and I heard he’s very loyal. He’s impeccable.”

“He hasn’t even been in a relationship yet, so where does his loyalty come from?” Jodie finally responded with a hint of contempt and sarcasm in her words.

Then, Elyse chuckled and covered her mouth. “Yeah, I was talking nonsense. If he was in a relationship, why would he come to participate in this program?”

The seemingly casual remark immediately made Jodie think of Foxy. That horrible woman! She’s always cozying up to Blake for no reason. He obviously came for her! The more Jodie thought about it, the more annoyed she became. So, she picked up a stone from the ground and threw it hard at the tree opposite, causing a loud thud.

Seeing that, Elyse smiled and seemed to not want to disturb Jodie anymore. Thud! She was about to leave when something fell from her hand.

Afterward, Jodie lowered her head to pick up another stone to continue throwing at the tree, and her gaze soon fell on the object. It was Elyse’s phone. Although the phone had no signal, it couldn’t make calls or go online but could still take pictures. There was a photo on the screen, and as the light reflected from it, Jodie’s expression changed visibly when she saw it. She didn’t even bother picking up the stone and instead picked up the phone. Confronting Elyse, she asked, “What does this photo mean?”

Elyse coughed awkwardly and quickly tried to snatch her phone back. “Jojo, pretend you didn’t see it, okay? I saw your brother feeling sentimental, that’s all… So, please don’t tell your brother.”
