My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386 A Familiar Face but an Unknown Heart

"We won't do anything!"

Julia stayed silent.

How could she just stand by and do nothing when her best friend was being insulted?

"I'm certain it's the Alston Family's doing! I will find them and make them clarify everything right away!"

Over the years, the Alston Family had been the only ones who truly crossed Amelie. After all, they were the ones who knew the truth about what had happened in the past.

"Stay put," Amelie warned sternly. "Even if it was them, confronting them now will only make the accusations seem true to outsiders."

"But…" Amelie's words were like a bucket of cold water, waking Julia up from her heated state of mind.

Julia's anger cooled as Amelie's words sank in. "Those ungrateful jerks," she muttered, still seething over the Alston Family's betrayal.

"Jules, if you care about me, you need to calm down now," Amelie urged. "Our relationship will be public soon, and reporters will be coming. If you can't keep your cool, it will only make things worse."

"Okay." Julia felt sorry for Amelie but had to agree with the latter.

"Don't worry. I won't say anything until you tell me to."

"Thank you."

"You also have to take care of yourself. I-If things get out of hand, don't panic. We'll handle it together," Julia said reassuringly.

Amelie knew Julia was afraid she would be upset and do something stupid, so she reassured the latter, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"What about tonight's live stream?" Julia asked.

"I'll do it," Amelie replied faintly. "If I stop now, they'll think I'm guilty."

"That's true." Julia agreed and didn't try to persuade her further. After giving some more bits of advice, she ended the call.

Meanwhile, Jodie laughed hysterically in a private room at the Prix Bar.

"See? This is the fate of those who dare challenge the Alston Family!"

News spread quickly, and the few topics she had her people prepare already reached the top five of trending news.

Jodie tapped her finger on the screen to open each one and checked the number of likes and comments.

The comments section was already a mess.

'I can't believe Miss Foxy is such a b*tch.'

'I never dreamt of that.'

'It's impossible. Someone must be framing her!'

'Do you know her?'

'Although she doesn't know me, I can tell from her appearance that she wouldn't do such a thing.'

'What has she given you in return for you to defend her like this?'

Although many comments supported Miss Foxy, more people doubted her innocence.

Additionally, Jodie deliberately purchased a group of bots to pose as relatives and servants of the Alston Family. Then, she provided them with intricate details about the situation inside the Alston Residence. This resulted in a significant decline in the number of people who supported Amelie.

Jodie's joy grew as she continued to read, causing her to burst into a fit of non-stop giggles. "Amelie, you believe you defeated me in the past due to your abilities, but that is not the case. I purposely chose not to compete with you and gave you an easy way out. However, since you seem unaware of what's best for you, I see no reason to continue being courteous."

The payback for the humiliation she had previously suffered was finally here, and Jodie couldn't describe how good she felt.

She urgently needed someone to share her joy with at this moment, but she didn't know whom to turn to.

After thinking for a while, she thought of Chandler.

In reality, she looked down on him.

Within the Alston Family, Chandler was considered to be nothing more than a faithful dog. He would eagerly respond to his owner's commands and do whatever the latter requested. However, Jodie saw him as the most reliable and secure choice.

Thinking of this, she dialed Chandler's phone number. "Come over and have a drink with me."

Chandler came over in less than twenty minutes with a soft, pleasing smile.
