Chapter 136

“What?” Amelie turned around and looked at Toby.

“You have a problem with your eye because you went through a cornea transplant to donate your

cornea to Leo. Am I right?” Toby suddenly increased his volume, and there was a tone of certainty in

his voice.

Although Amelie’s cornea transplant was just his suspicion and he didn’t have any proof, he just

believed that she had donated her cornea. The moment he realized that, his heart wrenched sharply,

and he felt a part of him missing: even breathing was difficult for him.

Meanwhile, his eyes were fixed on her face—her left eye, in particular.

Toby was usually gentle and had never shown his assertive side, so it startled Amelie. At this moment,

her mind was in chaos, but she chuckled after a few seconds. “You do know how to make a joke, Mr.

Walsh. If I had donated my cornea to Leo, I would’ve told him ages ago. That way, he wouldn’t have

snubbed me for the whole four years.” With her head tilted, there was a mere smile on her face, and

her eyes looked like they were

staring into space.

Judging from her expression, he was suddenly doubting what he was so sure about a few minutes ago.

“You should stop imagining things. Mr. Walsh.” Amelie tried her best to hide her feelings as she acted

indifferently.

Although she didn’t regret her foolish decision at that time, she wasn’t willing to open up about this

topic anymore. Everything related to Leo had already been set aside.

When Toby noticed that she was talking about it so casually, the pain in his heart was relieved, and his

breathing went back to normal.

He’d rather she hurt her eye from a fall than believe she’d done something so foolish for Leo. It would

be too

tragic for her if that were truly the case.

“Okay.” As he smiled, his exotic and gentle image was restored.

While they were chatting, Amelie’s phone sounded.

She lowered her head and saw a bank message notifying her that she had received a large amount of

money. Instantly, shock paralyzed her since she rarely used that account.

Who on earth would send money to this bank account? Her first thought was whether someone had

stolen her card to conduct some illegal business.

The moment she wanted to call the bank to inquire about it, her phone sounded again with another

message coming in. The message was from Leo. “This is Bria’s living expenses. I will transfer it to you

monthly from

now on Mir child doesn’t need to he fed hu athers’

When she read the message, she was initially startled before she found it hilarious. Does he think that

Starlight Media’s owner is a man?

Without thinking twice, she transferred the money back to him.

In the meantime, Toby looked at her series of actions in silence. Only when she was done with

everything did they walk home together.

When they arrived at the door, Amelie shouted instinctively, “Dad, is lunch ready? I’m hungry.”

However, Steven didn’t stick out his head to answer her as usual. The house was in complete silence

as though no one was home.

Surprised by that, she thought he had gone out to buy some ingredients. When she stepped inside, she

saw that he hadn’t left the house; instead, he was standing in the middle of the living room. His apron

was still around his waist, and he was holding a silicon ladle in his hand with his eyes staring right

ahead.

In front of him was a well-dressed person with an exquisite hairstyle; every strand of hair on the

woman’ head exuded class and grace. Clad in stiletto heels, a strong aura of condescension could be

felt even when she didn’t say a word.

“Mrs. Alston?” The moment Amelie recognized the person there, surprise surged through her.

Meanwhile, Melissa turned around after hearing someone calling her name. When she saw Amelie, her

brows angled unnoticeably with disdain.

“Why are you here?” Amelie asked.

While staying aloof, Melissa didn’t answer the question but looked at Toby.

“Mrs. Alston.” Toby nodded.

“Please go for a stroll outside with my dad, Mr. Walsh,” Amelie said, turning her head to look at him.

Melissa couldn’t have come all the way here just for a visit. She must have something important to say.

She knew that her father held grudges against the Alstons, so she didn’t want to cause a scene here.

Toby understood the assignment as well. He walked toward Steven and said, “Let’s give them some

space, Mr.

Steven.”

Worried, Steven turned around gradually and looked at Amelie.

Seeing that, Amelie walked over and linked arms with him. “Don’t worry, dad. Your daughter won’t be

bullied. You should have a stroll outside and eat something with Mr. Walsh. How about that?” Her voice

was so soft and gentle, and it was laced with a tone of persuasion.

Steven knew that his daughter had her thoughts on everything since she was young, so he didn’t say

much and

Only after Toby and Steven left did Amelie look at Melissa again. “Please get straight to the point, Mrs.

Alston.” She didn’t bother to serve Melissa tea at all.

As soon as Toby left, Melissa didn’t bother keeping her elegant image either. With a judgmental gaze,

she studied the house and snorted contemptuously. “Miss Dillon, you live in this house that belongs to

the owner of Starlight Media and use everything that belongs to him, so why are you still pestering

Toby? Don’t you find that outrageous?”

What? Has she misunderstood my relationship with Toby? Just as Amelie was thinking. Melissa’s voice

resonated again. “I don’t mind if you pester other people, but Toby has an extraordinary status. His

name can’t be tarnished by a woman like you. You should know when to stop, Amelie.”

Although Amelie wasn’t fond of Melissa, she didn’t want to tarnish Toby’s name, so she said with a

smile, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Alston. Mr. Walsh and I are just business partners, but I don’t think you came

all the way here to be nosy about his personal life, right?”

The word ‘nosy blew Melissa’s fuse, making her facial muscles tighten while she appeared disgruntled.

She scoffed to maintain her condescension and elegance before saying calmly. “I’m just giving you a

gentle reminder about Toby. Anyway, I’m here to ask you to stay away from my children. Since you’re

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

divorced, don’t drag them into your life anymore.”

“Your children?” Amelie found Melissa’s attitude of not knowing what was right and wrong pretty

hilarious,

and she laughed out loud. “Do you have too much confidence in your children, or are you just too

egoistic, Mrs. Alston? Do you think everyone in this world wants to have something to do with your

family? What you said just now is exactly what I want to tell you-can you please manage your children

and not let them appear in my life all the time?”

“You b*tch!” Whenever Melissa said something. Amelie would refute it, and her words were getting

more and more outrageous. In the end, Melissa couldn’t take it anymore while she scowled, saying.

“Do you think that I can’t do anything to you with Starlight Media’s owner backing you up?”

“What do you want to do to me, Mrs. Alston?” Amelie threw the question back at her. If it was in the

past, she

would have given in, but it was not necessary now.

Hearing that, Melissa had no comeback. She was so furious that her eyes popped out just like a

goldfish. Condescension was always her image in front of people, for she acted aloof and elegant. She

had no idea a day would come when she would be smoldered with anger like this. If there was a mirror

in front of her at this

moment, she wouldn’t recognize herself.

“If you’re here about your children, I can tell you now that since my divorce, I have never approached

anyone in your family voluntarily. It was your daughter who kept provoking me and even caused a

scene at Starlight Media’s anniversary ceremony. You’d better have your eyes on her, Mrs. Alston, or

else it won’t be just embarrassment that she’ll receive.”

“So, did you upload those videos?” Melissa tried to suppress her emotions to appear less agitated.

She didn’t know that the video of Bria and Jodie had been uploaded and thought that Melissa was

talking about the clip of them dancing, so she chuckled.

However, this chuckle meant admission in Melissa’s eyes. Almost immediately, fury vibrated through

her being. “You’re getting out of line, Amelie! Do you believe that I can strip you of your place in

Starlight

Media?!”

“Strip me of my place?” Amelie found her threat extremely hilarious. The whole of Starlight Media is

mine. Who can strip me of my place?

Just when she wanted to refute, she heard a bang as the door swung open.
