    But Melissa snapped out of it and read into the matter. The more she thought about it, the more she


    was sure Amelie was no Foxy. Or at least, she wasn’t the original Foxy. If she had that kind of skill, she


    would’ve shown it off when she was married to Leo. Nobody would hide their own best side, especially


    not the finest people in the world. And besides, nobody liked her back then. She could’ve used this as


    leverage to make us take her seriously. Also… Most people would have a ton of excuses to wave away


    the facts that didn’t align with their preconceived notions. Cognitive dissonance, so to speak, and


    Melissa had fallen into it. And now she had a new theory. Amelie used Julia to change Foxy’s ount


    ownership. She’s still useless. She doesn’t want us to find out she’s still useless. If we do find out, we’d


    take Bria away from her. And once we have her custody, Amelie would have no reason to see Leo, and


    she would have no chance to return to our family.Melissa didn’t tell him about her theory. Instead, she


    ced a voice recorder on the table. “Listen to this.” And then she left without saying a word.Leo


    remained in his seat for a while before he finally turned the recorder on. At first, he heard white noise,


    and then he heard Amelie’s voice.She said a lot, but all Leo remembered was one particr line she


    said. “He’s my ex. No matter how bad my life might get, I will never take back the trash I’ve thrown


    away.”He clenched his fist, his face tensing up. I am nothing but trash to her? And then his grip became


    so strong, he broke the recorder.When Victor came in, he was met with Leo and his bloody hand.


    Whoops. He ignored the scene and handed him something. “The file you want. It’s about Amelie.”Leo


    grunted calmly.Victor asked nothing. He nodded and drifted away like a phantom.But the moment the


    door was closed, the loud sound of something crashing came from the office, shocking the assistants


    and secretaries. They looked at the office, wondering what had happened. When they realized it was


    from Leo’s office, they exchanged a look. None of these employees had ever seen Leo fly into a rage.


    No matter what kind of crisis thepany had to face, Leo settled him with calm precision, much like a


    machine. So, what happened?…Amelie and Julia spent hours negotiating, and the matter came to a


    close. Julia was about to pick Bria up with Amelie, but Samuel called. He had something important to


    talk about, so Julia left.Amelie busied herself for a while before she turned herptop off and made her


    way to Brianna’s kindergarten. Her daughter wasn’t around, but her new teacher was. Her old teacher


    took a medical leave due to her illness.“She left with a young gentleman,” the new teacher


    said.Amelie’s mind buzzed for a moment. She was reminded of the time Elyse sent someone to kidnap


    Brianna. That incident left her with an injured leg that still wasn’t healed. Once bitten, twice shy, and


    Amelie worried that her daughter might be kidnapped once more.Oh no. She looks scared. The new


    teacher quickly exined, “I think he’s Bria’s father. She called her Daddy. Didn’t he call you?” Oh. So,


    it’s Leo. Amelie felt a weight getting lifted off her shoulders, and she heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank


    you.” She went back to her car and called Leo, but he didn’t pick it up. She had no idea why Leo took


    Brianna away, but she went all the way to Clouson anyway.She was surprised nobody at Genesis


    stopped her, and she made her way to Leo’s office easily. With her worry held down, she pushed her


    bangs back so she wouldn’t look too harried. And then she knocked.“Enter,” said Leo coolly.Amelie


    entered the office. Leo was behind his desk, working on something. His lips were pursed, and his


    attention was focused on his work. But she couldn’t see what he was doing, not when hisputer


    was in her way. All he afforded her was a nce.Still worried, she darted over to Leo. “Where’s Bria?


    You took her, didn’t you?”He slowly raised his head, the look in his eyes dark as the night. “She’s


    asleep. In the waiting room,” he said after a long pause.Good. She’s here. Amelie rxed and, almost


    instinctively, made her way to the waiting room.“That’s my private quarter,” said Leo.Amelie held the


    door handle, wondering why he said that.Leo stood up, approaching her coolly. “I’m just trash that you


    have thrown away, aren’t I? Didn’t know you had a habit of dumpster diving.” He stopped a few inches


    before her.Huh? Oh, wait. The thing I told Melissa. She recorded it? Amelie looked a little awkward.


    She didn’t mean to talk him down, but Melissa was being pushy, so she had to say something. Yet now


    the one she denigrated heard herment, and he was asking for an exnation. Awkward. “Sorry,”


    she said. “I didn’t mean to say that. If you don’t like it, you can hurl any insult you want at me.” She


    bowed and put both her hands before her.Leo froze. She thinks this is a transaction? Is she an idiot? “If


    I’m nothing but trash, then I suppose you won’t want the child you had with trash,” said Leo.Amelie’s


    polite smile disappeared, reced by horror. She didn’t think Leo would be this petty. He’s going to


    take Brianna away over onement? “I… I can exin.” She fidgeted.Leo kept quiet, giving her a


    chance to exin.Amelie wondered what he wanted, but she told him the truth anyway. “Your mother


    was pushing me around. She wouldn’t leave if I didn’t tell her what she wanted to hear.”“You could


    havee to me.” Leo was still upset.“Which would prove that I still am hounding you.”And then she


    felt the air around her stop. A great pressure came from Leo. He’s upset? But why?“You don’t wish to


    get involved with me?”Yep. Dealing with my past is something bad. But he has Bria. If he tries to take


    her away from me, I can’t win. Deciding not to take the aggressive way, she said softly, “You’re going to


    get married to Miss Joyner. I don’t think I should be involved with you. I have my own concerns.”For


    some reason, Leo instantly looked happier. “So, you were just cutting ties with me because you heard I


    was going to marry someone?”“Um…” Amelie gave a vague answer.And then Leo blurted, “Go. See


    the girl.”“Sorry?” What’s he trying to do? I can’t understand him. But she didn’t have time to figure out


    what he was thinking. She wanted to see Brianna, so she entered the room. But when she turned


    around, she caught Leo looking at her gently.
