Chapter 161

When Amelie had steadied herself, she got out of Toby’s embrace. Then, she turned around and saw

Jodie standing not far away. She wore a mini dress while looking at Amelie in disdain.

To be honest, Amelie didn’t mind Jodie’s words. To her, Jodie was talking nonsense since she was a

brainless woman. However, she couldn’t ignore Leo, who was standing beside Jodie. His gaze was

cold and filled with emotions, seemingly as if accusing her of her actions.

I was going to fall. As Amelie thought about it, she felt upset and discouraged. After all, she realized

that she wasn’t able to ignore Leo’s emotions, even after they had gotten a divorce.

In the meantime, Toby saw them and greeted them. “Hello, Jodie and Leo.” He looked calm and

righteous, seemingly as if Jodie’s words did not affect him.

Leo lowered his eyes the whole time, making him look cold and stern. He had an intimidating presence

around him as he stared at Amelie.

In the morning, he had a bad feeling in his stomach, so he rushed from Quinn Town to Clouson City.

Only then did he discover that Melissa had sued Amelie and tried to take Bria’s custody. When he saw

Amelie, he was going to explain, but he couldn’t make himself do so when he saw her and Toby

hugging together. Hence, he smiled and said harshly, “It looks like Bria isn’t that important to you

either!”

When Amelie heard his words, she was stunned.

Although he did not say whom he was implying, it was clear that he was talking about her! Obviously,

he had misunderstood her being lovey-dovey with Toby and didn’t care about the lawsuit. How ironic of

him to think. that she would not care if the Alston Family took Bria’s custody!

At that moment, her face turned cold, and she had an icy smirk spread against her lips.

It was he who caused this mess. Thus, how can he stand on the righteous side and criticize her?

“Bria is important to me. Moreover, I don’t think you will know how important she is to me if we talk

about this in such a short time. If you are curious, you’ll see it when we are at the court!” Amelie said

coldly with a stubborn look on her face. Then, she lost interest in looking at Leo’s stern expression and

turned to Toby. “I’ll be going, then. I have some things to deal with.” Finally, she turned around and left.

As Leo looked at her figure, his face darkened.

She is nice to Toby, yet she treats me like I am her rivall

walked toward Toby and criticized Amelie.

When Jodie saw that Toby was ignoring her, she felt upset and blamed it on Amelie. “She is such a sl’t!

She’s always hooking up with so many men!” Then, she stormed off.

During the entire debacle, Leo kept silent. Only when Jodie left did he approach Toby. “You can’t be

with Amelie, Toby!”

“Why can’t I?” Toby retorted as he crossed his arms in amusement. He had a thoughtful expression

while he graced Leo with a mirthless smile. “Why do you mind if I want to be with her? Could it be that

you have fallen

in love with her?”

“Are you kidding me? How could I have fallen in love with her?” Leo spat coldly.

Toby narrowed his eyes at his not-so-immediate refusal, and his smile deepened.

You hesitated for a moment there, Leony. I’m sure you don’t even know that you harbor feelings for her,

either.

At that moment, he was suddenly interested in this topic and asked, “How are you going to deal with

this. lawsuit, Leony? Are you going to stop your mother?”

When Leo heard his words, he pursed his lips and stared at Toby with a gloomy gaze. He was never

one to talk

about his feelings to others.

After Toby stared at him for a moment, he stuffed his hands in his pocket and lowered his head. “I

advise you to keep fighting for it.”

As soon as Leo heard his words, he frowned and was quite surprised that Toby would say such things.

After all, considering how Toby cared for Amelie, he would have thought that Toby would tell him to

stop.

Toby looked at Leo’s questioning gaze with a calm expression. Although Leo’s gaze was so oppressive

that it made a person feel rather suffocated, Toby wasn’t affected at all. “Since you don’t like her, I

would advise you to keep going. Only that way will she be disappointed with you. Isn’t that what you

wanted? Still, I’m sure that you will regret it one day.”

At that moment, Leo frowned and stared at Toby intently. After all, Toby’s words were full of

contradictions.

Unfortunately, Toby wasn’t interested in pursuing this matter further as he bid Leo farewell. “I’m leaving.

I still have something to do.”

When Leo returned home, Melissa walked the lawyer to the door. When the trio encountered each

other, Melissa’s face went stark white. On the other hand, Leo was staring at them while an intimidating

presence radiated off him.

The lawyer felt that something was off and quickly left the scene.

Leo’s presence was so intimidating that even Melissa, his own mother, was afraid. She was even

scared that he would ask about the lawyer. Regardless, she knew that worrying about things that might

never happen would increase their chances of happening.

“Mom, are you hiring a lawyer to take over Bria’s custody from Amelie?” Leo asked straightforwardly.

When Melissa heard his words, she felt her heart sink. Although she felt guilty, she quickly regained her

composure. After all, since Leo had known about it, she didn’t feel the need to hide it anymore. Thus,

she nodded and said, “Yes. I know you are unwilling to take Bria’s custody, but I think it’s better if we

took her under our wings.”

Leo had always known what was on Melissa’s mind, so he didn’t have to repeat those hurtful words.

Hence, he pursed his lips and said, “As Bria’s father, I have the right to interfere in this matter. Please

fire the lawyer, Mom.” Then, he walked up the stairs.

Behind him, Melissa was enraged. After Leo disappeared from sight, she quickly dialed Jodie’s

number. “What is going on, Jodie? Didn’t you bring Leo to meet up with Toby and Amelie? Why is he

still the same as before?”

After Leo had left for a moment, Elyse knew he had returned. Hence, she called Melissa early in the

morning,

which awakened her from her beauty sleep. Melissa was worried that Leo would know about this.

Fortunately,

she had hired someone to stalk Amelie, so she knew that Amelie had met up with Toby. Hence, she

told Jodie to find Leo and took him to their meetup by faking like she was trying to have a meal with

him.

“I did take him to meet up with them. Moreover, I even hired someone to push Amelie into Toby’s

embrace. Leo saw it with his own two eyes. I remembered that he was in a bad mood after watching

the scene,” Jodie replied

pitifully.

Melissa’s frown became deeper after hearing Jodie’s words.

Leo had seen it with his own eyes, yet he still insisted on Amelie caring for Bria. Does he not care for

Bria, or does he have feelings for Amelie? I know him. Although he has a cold personality, he won’t

neglect Bria. That

leaves the latter.

When Melissa thought about it, she felt like she was being slapped across the face and felt she was

about to

lose consciousness.

“No! This isn’t happening!” She wouldn’t accept if Amelie returned, especially when she had put in such

efforts into ridding her of the Alston Residence. After all, she was of the mind that only a woman of high

status was

fit to become Leo’s wife!

As Melissa thought of Amelie, who had nothing good going for her, returning to the Alston Family once

more, she felt the last string of her sanity about to snap. Eventually, she began pacing back and forth in

the living room, trying to devise a way to stop this from ever happening.

On the other hand, Jodie didn’t hear her words and hung up the phone since she was not in the mood

to chat.
