When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 A Supporting Role
Melissa was so angry that she almost vomited blood. “You’re so…”
Before the word “shameless” was uttered, Amelie spoke again, “However, even so, I will not give Bria to you!”
Melissa’s fingers clenched tightly under her sleeves. She did not manage to record anything useful, so she could only stop the recording on her phone. Amelie noticed her small movement but did not expose Melissa. She simply pursed her lips and smiled.
Then, she raised her phone. “Mrs. Alston, even if what happened just now was just Jodie beating Bria to educate her, what about this?”
Immediately, a voice came from the phone.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re here for. My brother brought back that bast*rd and you want her back, right?”
“Bast*rd?”
“Yes, she’s a bast*rd! As long as you gave birth to her, she’s a bast*rd!”
Hearing this conversation, Melissa’s confident expression suddenly collapsed, and her face was unbelievably stiff!
Amelie smiled lightly. “How about that? If I link both situations together, it can become evidence of Jodie’s abuse of Bria whether it is handed over to the reporters or the police.”
She had a smile on her face, but her heart was sour.
What did Bria do wrong? How could she be humiliated by her own aunt like that?
…
When Amelie came out, she had a faint smile on her face. She put a piece of paper into her bag and bent down to pick up Bria. “Bria, let’s go home.”
Seeing Amelie take Bria away, Jodie was anxious and rushed to Melissa. “Mom, why did you let her take the girl away? We can’t let that bast*rd go! If she does, I—”
Before Jodie could finish her words, Melissa slapped her.
“Mom, what do you mean by this?”
Jodie cried out after being unexpectedly hit by Melissa. Melissa’s face was tense, and she glared at Jodie with hatred. “It’s because of you that I was forced by Amelie to write an agreement to give up Bria’s custody! Jodie, it’s your fault!”
Melissa was upset because it was more than just losing a granddaughter. Her high status was being challenged! Due to Jodie’s ignorance, Melissa had to bow down to Amelie! For Melissa, bowing to her ex-daughter-in-law whom she initially did not even want to look at was the ultimate humiliation!
Jodie was in pain and grief. Covering her face, she ran into the room angrily. After entering the room, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She stomped her feet for a while, lifted the pillow, and slammed it non-stop. But after slamming it for a long time, the anger in her heart was still unresolved.
“D*mn bast*rd! D*mn Amelie!”
Thinking of Bria and Amelie’s scheme against her, she felt like her chest was on fire!
Having suffered such a big loss, how could she let it go?
After being angry for a while, she called Carla. “Carla, help me.”
She told Carla all the grievances she had suffered.
“As long as you can help me punish these two severely, I’ll buy you your favorite limited-edition bag!”
Carla was a materialistic woman. Hearing what Jodie said, Carla raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction.
“It’s simple, the best way to punish the two of them is to separate them. For a child, what is more terrifying than being forced to leave her mother? Moreover, Amelie will be in so much pain if she’s separated from her child!”
“I agree that this is the best way, but the point is, she forced my mother to let go of the child’s custody. Now, even my mother does not dare to do anything to her!”
Jodie was agitated for a while as she twisted her pillow and smashed it again.
“You can send me the agreement; maybe I can help you think of a good solution.”
When Jodie heard Carla’s words, she ran out immediately. It just so happened that Melissa went out. Jodie then ran into Melissa’s room and saw the agreement on the table, so she quickly took a few photos and sent them to Carla. Although the limited-edition bags were painfully expensive, Jodie was happy again when she thought that Carla would help her punish Amelie and Bria severely.
On the other side, Carla handed the phone to the person next to her after she answered the phone. The room was dark and only the hard and cold outline of the man could be seen.
“Honey, your tricks are really vicious.” Carla’s tone was delicate. She did not think of the idea just now. It was all written by the man in front of her after listening to Jodie’s words, and then she only read it accordingly. Even the matter of telling Elyse about the married but cheating boss of Starlight Media was his idea. There was a little light near the corner of the man’s lips, and it could be seen that the corners of his lips were raised coldly in an evil manner!
“Like last time,” he said.
His voice was low and deep, with a bit of malice and disdain.
Carla understood that he wanted to send the agreement to Elyse’s mailbox. She did as he said, but then she pouted. “Honey, why do you care so much about Jodie? Do you like her?”
“Do I like her?” The man’s expression was indistinguishable as his eyes emitted a cold light in the darkness.
Then he said something irrelevant, “She’s just a supporting role.”
…
“Leo, are you really giving up Bria?”
In the grand private compartment, Toby and Leo sat opposite each other.
Toby had recently gone to the Alston Residence, and through Mr. Cooper, he knew that Leo had taken Bria away, but also returned Bria to Amelie.
Holding the wine glass, Leo lowered his eyes and drank, his expression indifferent. “I’m not giving up. I’m just letting her take care of the child. Bria is the descendant of the Alston Family!”
This last sentence was enough to show his stance. It was impossible for him to give up Bria.
Ashton, who was sitting on the left of Toby, was unhappy. “Why don’t you just leave the child at Alston Residence? If you do this, you will only get even more involved with that Dillon woman.”
He poured himself more wine with his hand that was wearing a luxury watch, the unwillingness on his face was clear.
“This is exactly what she wants. That woman just wants to be ceaselessly involved with you! You are going to remarry in the future. It’s unfair to your future wife for you to be so involved with her.”
After speaking, his eyes focused on Elyse who was next to Leo. Elyse was holding her phone as if thinking about something. When she met his gaze, she shook her head suddenly as if she just realized what he was saying. “Don’t say that about Miss Dillon. Isn’t she dating the boss of Starlight Media now? He’s so sincere…”
She did not finish her sentence. However, everyone understood. The so-called sincerity of the boss of Starlight Media meant that he would give up his own wife for Amelie!
These words caused Leo to frown suddenly, and his face abruptly darkened.
Ashton snorted disdainfully. “Doesn’t that kind of woman just like men to hang around her? She just wishes every man would throw away his family and career for her and get involved with her!”
“I think you still have a misunderstanding of Miss Dillon.” Elyse’s bright face still showed her disapproval of Ashton. “She actually broke up with Leo quite decidedly. I heard from Jodie that when Miss Dillon took the child away, she asked Mrs. Alston to sign an agreement to permanently renounce the custody of the child.”
Clearly, Elyse had read the email someone sent her just now and did not actually hear it straight from Jodie. She only said this to let Leo feel that she was getting along well with the members of the Alston Family. After she finished speaking, she did not forget to show the screenshot of the agreement. “Look, Jodie just sent it to me.”
Suddenly, a hand intercepted the phone. It was Leo. His long fingers quickly swiped twice on the screen, and his originally unhappy face became even darker. In the next moment, he got up and left.
“Leo!” Ashton called out to him, about to stand up and stop him.
However, Leo had gone far.
Ashton could only stare at Elyse hatefully. “Elyse, what’s wrong with you? Why are you speaking up for that Dillon woman?”
“I’m telling the truth.” Elyse showed a wronged and innocent expression.
“You…” Ashton was deeply distressed and anger rose in his heart, but on seeing Elyse’s aggrieved face, he could not say another word.
As for Toby, he had been watching from the sidelines.
