Chapter 307
Chapter 307 Came to Her Door to Seek Redress
"Amelie, you shameless woman!" Following the shout, Jodie cursed non-stop. She raised the phone,
wishing she could smash it and tear Amelie''s face in the photo apart. "This woman is nothing but
trouble!"
Likewise, the furious Melissa crossed her hands in front of her while constantly wiping her face. "How
did she end up with Leo again?"
The photo showed Amelie talking to Leo in front of the hospital''s operating room. Images couldn''t
speak, so they didn''t know what the two were talking about. All they knew was that Amelie had met up
with Leote at night.
"Amelie must have heard about Elyse''s suicide and knew that Leo would go to the hospital, so she
waited there on purpose," Jodie replied irritably. After Elyse, there''s Amelie again. There always seems
to be someonepeting with Foxy. How will ke feel at ease? Foxy might lure him again.
She was so obsessed with ke that just thinking about all these twists and turns made her head spin.
"That b*tch! I''ll kill her!" As she said that, she turned around and ran out.
…
"We''re finally home." After arriving at Pearl Gardens in Halport, Amelie held Bria in her arms and stood
at the entrance with Steven, looking at the residentsing in and out. Then, she let out a sigh of
relief.
Although they had only stayed in the hospital for one night, the incident that happened to their family
was a life-and-death situation. Even recalling it now made her hair stand on its end, giving her the chills
all over. They were so close to not making it back home.
"Let''s go home. I''ll make you something delicious to eat, and you can wash away the bad luck," Steven
said cheerfully, taking Bria into his arms.
"Yeah! I haven''t had Grandpa''s food in a long time. My mouth is already watering," said Bria
coquettishly while hugging his neck.
With a heartyugh, he asked, "What do you want to eat? I''ll go buy some groceries now and make it
for you."
"I want to go grocery shopping with you, Grandpa. I want to pick my vegetables."
"Okay, okay." The grandfather and granddaughter walked toward the supermarket across the street,
completely forgetting about Amelie''s existence.
Amelie was already used to their interactions, but she still shook her head resignedly.
Since she had a lot of work piled up over the past few days, she decided to stand there and catch up
on her tasks using her work app.
"Amelie Dillon!" Just as she was busy working, someone bellowed her name loudly. She looked up in a
startle, only to see Jodie ring at her with a deadly gaze emitting from her eyes as if she were looking
at her father''s murderer.
It had been a long time since Jodiest looked at her like this, so she couldn''t help but wonder why. As
she looked at her, she asked, "What brings you here sote at night, Miss Alston?"
"How dare you ask?!" Jodie coldly snorted, her eyes full of anger. Without exining, she walked over
and pped Amelie.
"How dare you ask?!" Jodie coldly snorted, her eyes full of anger. Without exining, she walked over
and pped Amelie.
Having understood Jodie''s temperament long ago, Amelie was prepared and avoided the p by tilting
her head.
When Jodie missed her first p, she immediately took another swing at it.
This time, Amelie no longer tolerated her, for she reached out her hand to grab Jodie''s wrist, twisting it
tightly.
It almost felt like Jodie''s wrist was broken, but her anger overwhelmed the pain. She used her free
hand to p Amelie again with all her might.
However, Amelie reacted faster than her and intercepted the p mid-air.
Jodie was determined to embarrass Amelie, but she missed every p. In the end, she became so
furious that she was shouting and struggling, wanting to break free from Amelie''s grip. Yet, the
woman''s grip was as tight as iron. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn''t break free. Thus, she
became desperate and resorted to kicking and biting.
At this moment, Amelie pushed her away. "Miss Alston, if you continue to behave unreasonably, I will
call the police!"
With her red eyes ring at Amelie, Jodie bellowed, "You shameless woman, clinging onto my brother
and still having the nerve to call the police! Fine, call the police! Let''s see if my brother will protect you
or me when he finds out!"
"I don''t care whom your brother chooses to protect but causing a disturbance outside my house is not
eptable." Amelie was not intimidated by her words at all and spoke sternly. "Or do you want the
people of Halport to know about your true character? Do you want everyone here to know who you
are?"
"You…" When Jodie heard that, her anger dissipated by half.
She had always been known as a refineddy from a prominent family in front of others. Even if she
was a little arrogant at times, people would overlook it for Leo''s sake. However, this was Halport, far
from the stronghold of the Alston Family, and there were not as many people who respected her there.
If a scandal were to be publicized all over the inte, how could she continue to live?
"How dare you talk to me like that?! I''ll tell Leo about this right now! Also, I''ll tell him that you hit me!"
she blurted out a lie.
This was a trick she had perfected when Amelie was still at the Alston Residence. Whenever she was
unhappy, she would take it out on Amelie with every trick in the book, but the person to whom she
would tattle back then was Melissa. Since Melissa already looked down on this pathetic daughter-in-
law of hers, no matter how poor Jodie''s act was, she would always side with her and punish Amelie.
"How dare you ask?!" Jodie coldly snorted, her eyes full of anger. Without exining, she walked over
and pped Amelie.
When Amelie heard that, she wasn''t afraid at all. Instead, she tilted her head elegantly and asked,
"Okay. Do you want me to dial the number for you?"
Is something wrong with her? Does she think that I still want to cling to the Alston Family? It has been
so long since Leo and I divorced. Isn''t that enough to make her see reality?
After saying that, she took the initiative to pull out Jodie''s phone from her pocket and unlocked it with
her face before dialing the number.
Speechless, Jodie stared wide-eyed at Amelie, unable to believe the series of actions she had just
witnessed.
Even at this moment, she still thought that Amelie was just acting. She doesn''t dare call Leo. This b*tch
is always trying to cling to Leo and be Mrs. Alston again. She wouldn''t let a conflict with her little
sister-inw leak out, would she?
While she was lost in her thoughts, Amelie had already put the call on speaker. Just then, the phone
was answered. "Yes, Jodie?"
"Leo, it''s me," Amelie calmly responded. "Please keep your sister in check. Don''t let here to my
house and cause trouble."
"What? You…" Jodie looked at Amelie, who not only called Leo but also snitched on her. Once again,
she was stunned. When did she be so brave?
After saying what she had to say, Amelie hung up the phone right away without waiting for Leo to
respond. Then, she threw the phone back into Jodie''s hands. "Decide for yourself whether to wait for
your brother toe and pick you up or leave now. I''m warning you, though—don''t get near me or my
family again. Otherwise, don''t me me for being impolite!"
As she said that, she raised her fist. "Also, I forgot to tell you. I''m a tenth-degree ck belt."
Hearing that, Jodie didn''t know what to say.

…
Bang, bang, bang! ng, ng, ng!
Melissa was sound asleep when she was abruptly awakened by a series of chaotic noises in her
house. She was so frightened that she immediately crawled out of bed.
"Miss Potts! Miss Potts!" Too afraid to move, she stayed curled up in bed and could only call for Miss
Potts.
At once, Miss Potts ran in from outside with a very unpleasant expression on her face. "Mrs. Alston."
"What''s going on? What happened?" The moment she saw Miss Potts'' expression, her heart sank.
"Why is it so noisy downstairs when it''s already the middle of the night?"
Did burrse into the house? The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, and
even her hands began trembling.
