Chapter 322 Pretending to Be Toby’s Girlfriend

On the other end of the line, Victor cut to the chase and said, "The boss of Starlight Media is

exceptionally well-hidden, and it's very difficult to obtain verified information. However, we've concluded

one thing. The owner's a lady."

"A lady?" A mysterious smile appeared on Leo's lips.

Amelie was using a woman to ward him off? Interesting! The uneasiness in his heart suddenly

disappeared without a trace because of this info.

"We're going back!" After hanging up, he held his head high and strode down the steps.

Eugene hastily got into the car. After starting the car, he said, "It's Old Mr. Walsh's birthday. What shall

we prepare as a birthday gift?"

By 'Old Mr. Walsh', Eugene was referring to Toby's grandfather, Alfred Walsh. The Walshes and the

Alstons were old acquaintances, and the Alstons would attend Alfred's birthday banquet every year.

Leo rubbed between his eyebrows. "I'll choose his birthday present myself."

Knowing that Leo was extremely respectful of Alfred, Eugene sounded his agreement.

Amelie had just ended her live stream when Julia called to inform her about her encounter with Leo

earlier that day.

"That stupid Leo came early in the morning to ask me who the boss of Starlight Media was. Obviously,

he was shaken by the news of your 'marriage'." Julia purposefully avoided mentioning how Leo

threatened her as she criticized Leo.

Amelie listened to her babble on, occasionally giving a few brief responses.

"Say, if he knew that you own Starlight Media, would his jaw drop?" Julia guessed boldly.

"No," Amelie said indifferently.

He had calmly accepted the fact that she was Foxy, so what else could shock him?

"However, there's no need to tell him."

She had decided to cut off all ties with him, so there was no reason for her to reveal her identity. Julia,

however, wanted to reveal all of Amelie's identities and shove them in Leo's face so that Leo would

realize how amazing the person he used to disregard was.

She wanted Leo to regret it even more.

Of course, if Amelie didn't like it, she wouldn't do it. Hence, the two chatted for a while before hanging

up.

Amelie massaged her temples. She was a little surprised that Leo didn't ask her straight away and had

opted to ask Julia instead. While she was thinking, the doorbell rang.

It can't be Leo, can it?

Amelie felt her heart skip a beat as she hesitated for a moment before walking to the door. She didn't

dare open the door. Instead, she checked the electronic surveillance system on the door.

The one standing at the door wasn't Leo but Toby. He was facing the camera while he stood as if he

knew she was looking at him, after which he gave her a charming smile.

His smile, paired with his extremely pleasant-looking face, was enough to swoon any other woman

right away. However, Amelie wasn't interested in Toby's attractive appearance. Even though she was

surprised, she still opened the door. "Why are you here?"

She had just finished talking when Toby grabbed her wrist and led her outside.

"Come with me," he said.

Amelie hadn't had the chance to ask, but Toby was already leading her far away.

She wondered where Toby was taking her. In the end, she was brought to a boutique selling dresses.

The boutique was lavishly decorated, and it had a huge floor space. As soon as they stepped in, they

were met with all sorts of dresses of various designs hanging on the racks.

Amelie could see from the decorations that the dresses here would cost a fortune.

Toby didn't even bat an eye as he pointed at the rows of dresses and said, "Pick whichever dress you

like."

When one of the staff saw that a handsome man had walked in, her eyes immediately lit up as she said

in an extra sweet voice, "Welcome. Our dresses are all designed by famous designers, and there's only

one of each dress available."

"What's this for?" Amelie didn't move as she looked at Toby.

Toby slightly pursed his lips. "It's my grandfather's 80th birthday. He heard that I got a girlfriend, so he

wanted me to introduce my girlfriend to him."

Amelie fell silent. It was only then that she remembered she had promised she would pretend to be

Toby's girlfriend.

"Just give me a call about your grandfather's birthday, and I'll be there. You don't have to make this

extra trip," she said.

She felt that Toby was being a little too serious.

Toby curved his lips into a smile. "I'm asking for your help, so of course, I have to be more sincere."

With that, he took a white dress with extremely obvious curves and held it up toward her. "This one

suits you."

Amelie looked at the dress. The curves were stunning and appropriately placed, and the dress wasn't

too revealing, either. Toby was in white as well, so she felt it would be a little weird if she wore white

too.

"Let's pick another one. Red." She pointed at the bright red dress in the distance.

"My grandfather has very discerning eyes. If you want to wear red, he will notice that something is

wrong right away," he reminded by saying.

Amelie fell silent. In the end, she had no choice but to wear white.

"Oh, right, Foxy is the one you're dating. Would it be weird if I wore a mask there?"

Essentially, she simply didn't want to go.

Toby smiled his refreshing smile. "Don't worry. My grandfather is a modern man. The birthday banquet

tonight is themed after masquerades and cosplays, so you won't stand out by wearing a mask."

"All right." Seeing that she couldn't escape, Amelie could only nod in submission.

After purchasing the dress, Amelie went to get her hair done. It wasn't until 6.00PM that she got into

Toby's car and headed for Clouson City.

The journey took one hour, so it was exactly 7.00PM by the time they arrived at the Walsh Residence.

The Walshes had quite a prominent status in Clouson City, and Alfred's birthday banquet was a major

event.

Even though it was only 7.00PM, all sorts of luxurious cars were already parked outside the Walsh

Residence. The Walsh Residence was situated at the foot of a hill, and it was a manor that covered a

large area.

Large lanterns adorned the large antique doors, and the manor looked like it belonged to a wealthy

family in ancient times. Despite his white hair, Alfred looked sprightly as he stood at the door in his

traditional clothing, exchanging pleasantries with someone.

The servant presented him with a mask. He took it but was in no hurry to put it on. Beside him stood

some middle-aged men and women.

They were Toby's parents and also his uncles and aunts. Everyone was wearing a mask, so their

identities were concealed.

The Walshes and the Alstons were on good terms with each other, so Amelie had met Alfred a few

times before. She was now extremely glad that she was wearing a mask. Things would get awkward if

Alfred recognized her.

"Grandpa." Toby led her forward and called out to Alfred.

Alfred had just put his mask on when he saw Toby and Amelie. He waved at them.

"Grandpa, your mask looks very majestic. It suits you." Toby smiled as he spoke to Alfred.

Alfred seemed to be in a good mood. "Kid, stop teasing me!"

"And this is…?"

Behind Alfred, a masked woman asked as she looked at Amelie.

Toby pulled Amelie forward a little as he introduced, "Mom, this is my girlfriend."

The woman was Toby's mother, Minnie Wembler.

"This lady… looks familiar, for some reason." Minnie studied Amelie through her mask. "Are you…

Foxy? Or are you just wearing the same mask she does?"

Foxy had 100 million fans, so even wealthy ladies knew about her.

"I am Foxy herself." Amelie didn't hide it at all.

"Oh…" Minnie dragged out the vowel, but no one knew if she was protesting or approving.

"Happy birthday." Amelie placed a small gift in Alfred's hands. "This is a newly released technology,

and you can get your heart and blood rate tested just by wearing it on your hand. You can report

emergencies, and if you connect it to your phone via Bluetooth, you can make emergency calls too."

Amelie had struck the perfect balance. The gift she picked wasn't too luxurious, but it signified how

sincere she was.

Alfred opened the box in front of everyone. Seeing a small ring nested within the box, he picked it up.

"Technology is really advanced these days. Who would've guessed that a tiny thing like this has so

many functions? I was worried that no one would know if I accidentally fell to my death in the bathroom,

so things will be much easier with this."

With that, he put it on in front of everyone.

He had given Amelie the utmost honor by this gesture. The rows of uncles and aunts from the Walsh

Family widened their eyes at that.

If they knew that this little gadget could win the old man's favor, they wouldn't have to wrack their brains

to figure out the best present to give.

"Sorry, this is your first time at my house, but as my girlfriend, you're not free yet. You have to stay with

me to welcome the guests," Toby turned and said to her in a low voice.

Amelie gave an 'oh', then went with him to the back where the younger generations stood in line.

Soon, the other brothers of the Walsh Family returned one after the other. They all came with company,

which was either their wives or their fiancées.

Everyone quickly noticed Amelie's presence, and they all looked at her curiously. However, because

Alfred was there, and they were still welcoming the guests, they didn't ask any questions.

These people's gazes were so straightforward that Amelie felt like she was a monkey on display. She

was extremely uncomfortable about it.

Toby was called away by his mother, so she stood alone, bored out of her mind. Just then, her phone

rang. She lowered her head to look. When she saw the number displayed on the phone, she

subconsciously shifted her expression.
