My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314 Ruined Reputation

"A-About that…" The manager, who usually spoke sharply, was stuttering. "Someone had taken pictures of you and Foxy entering the same hotel." Since they were all grown up, she didn't need to specify it even more.

Hearing her words, Leo frowned and thought about how adorable Amelie looked when he saw her yesterday. As he thought about it, his expression softened, and he felt something rose in him.

Seeing that he wasn't mad, the manager added, "Foxy had explained your relationship with her in the live stream."

"What did she say? Did she say that she has nothing to do with me?" Leo could only think about this outcome.

After all, ever since they had gotten a divorce, she wished to cut ties between them.

"S-She didn't say that." The manager stammered and looked awkward. "She… She said… Why don't you look for yourself?" As she spoke, she opened the VOD on her phone and gave it to Leo.

In the video, Amelie's masked face was covered by comments. There were all kinds of questions, but it was all surrounded by what happened between her and Leo.

Seeing that her fans were more worried than him, Leo smiled.

In the video, Amelie's voice was clear and confident. She smiled and said, "I'll answer all of your questions with one fact. I entered the room at 7:05PM, while Mr. Alston entered by 9:00PM. However, he left within ten minutes. If your assumptions were correct, he is quite fast." As soon as her words fell, the comments changed. They turned from questions to exclamations. Then, the comments were filled with laughter, sarcasm, and speechless emojis.

Although Amelie had never said anything to clarify herself, everyone understood what had happened.

Amelie also showed them the surveillance camera footage for the open discussion. At this moment, someone in the comments said that Mr. Hampton had made an apology stream, saying that it was a mistake made by the staff. That was why the duo would be in the same room.

'Mr. Alston had gone there with a group of people. If he were to meet up with Foxy, he wouldn't have brought them.'

'That's right. He must have been confused and asked about the situation. That was why he had been in the room for ten minutes. I never understand how anyone can think such absurd things.'

'I worked as a server in that hotel and had served Mr. Alston that day. After he had left the room, he stayed in the hotel's meeting room all night. He was there to work.'

'Foxy is innocent and pure. How can she be mingling with a divorced man? Moreover, this man is quite problematic. I heard he cheated on his ex-wife before they had gotten a divorce.'

'Dang it. This sc*mbag doesn't deserve to be mentioned in front of Foxy!'

Slowly, the comments had changed from discussing what had happened at the hotel to scolding Leo and the Alston Family. Moreover, someone discovered that Leo mistreated his ex-wife, and Melissa made things hard for her. Even Jodie's past was being dug out.

As Leo looked at the comments, he had a grim expression.

"Should we make a statement and deny the relationship between Foxy?" the manager asked.

"No!" replied Leo as he frowned.

"Huh?" The manager was confused as she looked at him questioningly.

However, Leo had already left with a stony expression.

At that moment, the manager looked at Eugene, asking for help.

"Just do as he says." Eugene comforted her.

…

On the other hand, Melissa had watched the stream. At this moment, she was trembling with anger,

"Fools! These dumb*sses!" She cursed loudly and even broke some of the nails she had taken care of.

Not only did Foxy deny her relationship with Leo by telling a joke, but the people even found out how she had mistreated Amelie. How would she be able to go out now?!

She watched the stream at a spa shop. She was still wearing the clothes provided by the shop, and her hair was wrapped in a towel. At that moment, she tore off the towel and scrunched up the face that she had just made treatment on. She looked dull.

"She always acts posh like she is a queen. Never did I expect she would be such a hideous woman."

"She looks like an elegant woman but acts like a mad woman. How embarrassing of her to mistreat her daughter-in-law."

"She doesn't deserve to be defined as someone who came out from a wealthy family!"

"Damn."

A few women who came to the spa shop together were discussing Melissa, raking her through the mud. When Melissa heard those words, she was enraged.

Usually, those women would flatter Melissa. However, now that such a thing had happened, they were talking behind her back! If Melissa didn't care about her reputation anymore, she would have slapped those women.

Even if she didn't do it, she still threw many things on the ground. After that, she still felt angry. Then, she took out her phone and dialed Mr. Hampton's number. "What is the meaning of this? Is this how you repay me after I give you ten percent of the shares? How dare you betray me?"

"Goodness sake, Mrs. Alston. I never meant to betray you. However, if I don't tell the truth, she will report to the police that I worked as a pimp. I am a famous director, Mrs. Alston. I can't live if this were to be spread around. Plus, it happened at your hotel, so you can't escape it." Mr. Hampton had regretted his decision. "If you are unhappy about it, I can give you back the shares." He didn't want to have his life ruined because of a ten percent share. Moreover, he knew that Melissa wasn't humiliated because he had helped Foxy but because news spread around that she had mistreated her daughter-in-law.

Mr. Hampton was innocent. After giving the shares back to Melissa, he immediately hung up the phone, not wanting to talk to her anymore.

Hearing the beeping noise of the other end of the phone, Melissa felt like she was being stabbed in the heart. She was in pain and humiliated.

At that moment, she gripped her phone tightly. Her fingers appeared crooked from the force, looking like the devil's hands.

Just as Melissa was angry, her phone rang. She answered it in annoyance, and Jodie's cries could be heard. "How did this happen, Mom? What does this have anything to do with me? Do you know what they're saying about me? They say I am cold, unreasonable, demanding, and so on! My reputation is ruined! How can I live with these labels on me?!"
