My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Are You Really Sure You Won’t Regret Going Against Him?

“If I hadn’t said those words back then, what would the Alston Family be like?” Amelie stared straight at Leo’s face and cocked her head, a half-smile on her face.

At that time, Genesis Company was preparing to be listed, and the preparation work had been going on for 2 years. Also, 80% of Genesis Company’s products were endorsed by Elyse. As Elyse’s two-timing became a reality, the Alstons would suffer direct losses! The company would have no hopes of getting listed, and Leo’s efforts for those 2 years would be in vain! Product sales would decrease at a shocking rate, and Genesis would face an unprecedented financial crisis! Leo would be the one being cheated on, and he would become the joke of the city!

The rasher Amelie’s decisions were back then, the deeper her love for Leo.

He held her gaze for a few seconds. Those few seconds warmed her heart slightly. So, he still thought he had the upper hand, didn’t he?

“Stop changing the topic. Where’s Bria?” Jodie feared that Leo would be convinced by Amelie and proceed to give up on Bria’s custody, so she hastily interrupted.

With that, Jodie walked over to Leo and tugged at him. “Leo, this woman is very calculating. Don’t fall into her trap.”

“Yes, Leo.” Melissa walked over as well. “No matter what happened before, you two are already divorced. You have to make a decision about the child!”

He averted his gaze from Melissa’s voice.

“Amelie, that’s another topic altogether. If you want a part of the profit, the Alstons earned back then, get a lawyer to discuss it with me. Now, I want Bria!” he said.

To him, even if the Alstons profited, it was only an unintentional side effect while Amelie carried out her plan.

“Hah!”

Her heart grew cold once again.

What was wrong with Amelie? Why was she still hoping for a trace of humanity in this cold-blooded and cruel family? Moreover, she was willing to try her best to keep things peaceful for Bria’s sake. Until now, Leo still thought she was a materialistic woman and was always after his money! Since he thought she loved money, no amount of hard work from her would matter to him. Why would she waste time on this?

Amelie suppressed the desolation and fury in her heart. When she raised her head again, there was no longer any emotion on her face.

“Do you really want Bria?” Amelie asked.

Leo’s patience was quickly wearing thin from the constant back-and-forth, and he frowned deeply.

Melissa snorted coldly, wordless ridicule.

Jodie pouted. “What a load of nonsense!” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Take your time to answer. Have a look at this first.”

With that, she lowered her head and dialed a number. “Come here.”

In under 2 minutes, a car drove in. Julia stepped out of the car.

“Amelie, what are you bringing Julia here for?” Seeing Julia, Jodie put on a guarded expression. “Are you playing the old trick? Are you going to spread this incident all over the internet?”

She stayed silent, ignoring Jodie and her words right out.

This made Jodie feel like she was a nobody in front of Amelie and wasn’t even a threat to the latter. Her expression darkened considerably. In addition, her words became even crueler.

“I’m telling you, there’s no use even if you broadcast this to the whole world! Bria is a child of the Alston Family, and no one can change that! You’d better stop playing tricks and hand over the child nicely. Perhaps my brother will give you some money for birthing the child!”

“Hah!”

Julia laughed aloud, without a care in the world.

Jodie, who hadn’t seen much of the world, thought the Alstons were the only wealthy family. Amelie’s wealth was so great that she couldn’t even spend it all, so why would she go after the Alstons’ meager coins?

However, Jodie refused to back off as she said with increasing viciousness, “Is 2 million enough for you? The boss of Starlight Media is rich, but the money is all his. You can’t keep asking him for money like a beggar, can you? With this 2 million, you’ll be able to feel some pride and parade around! Then, we can be sure we didn’t mistreat you!”

Julia waited until she was almost done before speaking up. “Relax, Amy isn’t the only one. Even Bria doesn’t intend to cause you to worry.”

She took out a piece of paper and waved it at the crowd. “This is a carte blanche. My boss asked me to get a test done for her. See for yourselves!”

“What test?”

The three were stunned. Leo looked at Amelie, perplexed.

Jodie was the first to grab the test reports and read them.

“99.99% DNA match? Biologically related? Brianna Dillon? Who’s that?”

“Brianna Dillon is Bria,” Amelie replied calmly.

Bria’s last name was originally Alston, and it changed to Dillon only recently.

“So… this DNA report is between Bria and the boss of Starlight Media?” Melissa immediately understood the situation and couldn’t control her loud shouts, which exploded like a bomb.

Leo’s gaze constricted, and it turned into a raging fury that pierced through Amelie’s body!

“Yes.” Amelie nodded calmly, ignoring his gaze. “The DNA test was carried out on Bria and the boss of Starlight Media.”

She wasn’t lying. She did take her own hair and Bria’s hair to get their DNAs tested.

“So you made us raise another person’s child for 4 years?” Melissa had never been insulted like this before, and she was so mad that her lips were trembling.

“Mrs. Alston, you should check the facts. Save for sleeping at your house, Bria never used a cent of your family’s money,” Julia reminded her.

Amelie paid for all of Bria’s expenses out of her own pocket. Julia knew that too well. Even so, she had angered the Alstons.

“Amelie, you wretch! How dare you push someone else’s mutt on my brother! And you kept insisting you married for the sake of the Alston Family!” Jodie was so furious that she leaped over to Amelie, trying to tear out the latter’s hair.

Julia blocked her off with a single arm.

“Miss Alston, you are a daughter of a prestigious family, if nothing else. Who would dare marry you if you act like a crazy woman?”

“You!” Jodie was so pissed that her insides were boiling, but she had no choice but to relent.

Julia was competent, and she was bold, too. She might really broadcast Jodie’s antics to the entire country secretly, and it would be over for Jodie then.

Melissa walked over to them, her breaths uneven as her heart thumped. It hurt.

She tried her best to maintain her image as she looked at Julia. “Isn’t the boss of Starlight Media, your boss, being too much of a bully?”

“Oh, how so? Why would others bully you if you hadn’t bullied someone else?” Julia’s words were laced with meaning.

“All in all, Bria has nothing to do with you, Alstons, so stop bothering her!”

With that, Julia tugged at Amelie. “Let’s go.”

“Okay.” She followed her into the car.

When she opened the car door, Julia looked back at Leo with intention. “Mr. Alston, don’t worry. Starlight Media will wholly belong to Bria and Amy in the future, so your 2 or 3 million doesn’t mean much to Amy. Why don’t you use that money to buy some proper clothes for Miss Jodie?”

“Damn you!”

Hearing the mockery in Julia’s words, Jodie was so furious that her face distorted, shouting and screaming. How dare you call me underdressed!

After that, Melissa nudged Leo. “Leo, are we going to let Amelie off for deceiving us like this? There’s also the boss of Starlight Media. There aren’t any grudges between us, so why would he insult us like this?”

“Oh, right.” Julia’s voice sounded again. “Don’t feel too bad about it. When Amy married into your family, she solved a crisis in your family, didn’t she? She’ll forgo the compensation Mr. Alston spoke of. You’re all even now.”

After speaking her piece, she finally lowered her head and got into the car.

The car drove away.

In the rearview mirror, Jodie was still seen in her fury. Melissa’s good image had completely disappeared, and Leo clenched his fists, his expressions unreadable.

Julia glanced worriedly at Amelie. “Making this decision means you’ll make the Alston Family your enemy. Are you really sure you won’t regret that?”
