Chapter 31
Chapter 31 Turning Into Enemies
“What is there to regret?” Amelie’s expression was calm.
She never felt regret, but she did feel a certain bitterness in her heart. Although they were divorced,
she didn’t want them to turn into enemies. Even if she had stayed with the Alston Family for four years
and endured so much injustice, she did not wish to insult the Alstons in such a manner.
Amelie wouldn’t have done it if the Alstons and Leo hadn’t forced her into a corner. She would’ve
resolved Bria’s custody in a more subtle and gentle manner.
“All right, if you won’t regret it, then we’ll bear the consequences no matter what it is!” Julia patted her
shoulder reassuringly, promising her.
From Amelie’s thoughtful gaze, Julia could already see what she was thinking. Amelie’s heart was
aching, and she didn’t want things to turn out like this. Still, Julia knew that no amount offort could
soothe this sort of pain.
“Thanks.” Amelie forced the gloominess in her eyes away as she said to Julia earnestly.
“No need for thanks. We’re way more than that.” Julia couldn’t understand her gratitude.
It was too formal.
Still, Amelie turned to Julia and gave her a hug. If it weren’t for Julia, the friend who had stayed with her
since they were children, she might have had difficulty enduring everything.
“Come on, if you keep hugging me like this, I won’t be able to drive,” Julia shouted. She sounded
disdainful, but her hand patted Amelie on the shoulder.
It was a silent constion. Feeling Julia’s constion, Amelie decided to expose her weaknesses,
allowing the sorrow to flow through her entire body and soak every inch of her skin.
However, this emotion onlysted a short while. A few minutester, Amelie lifted her face again. The
original radiance had returned to her little face.
Seeing Amelie gather herself, Julia spoke again, “Amy, with a fight like that, we’vepletely angered
the Alston Family. Judging by Leo’s temper, he most probably will target Starlight Media next.”
Sorrow began to fill her gaze. “We’re probably no match for Leo.”
Even though she had thousands ofints about Leo, Julia had to admit that Leo was quite
capable. This wretched man had brilliant tactics and heartless strategies, and he was second to no one
in that aspect.
“Even though Starlight Media is strong, if someone jeopardizes it with intention, it won’t hold up.”
Amelie was working in mediamunication, so she knew a lot of things very well.
“With the current situation in our line of business, we will be threatened if amon person causes a
commotion so that b*stard Alston’s tactics will only be much worse.”
“I know.” Amelie nodded calmly, her pretty little face devoid of any fear.
She had anticipated everything way before she did any of this.
“Even if we lose Starlight Media, Bria and I can still live without a worry.”
Amelie had saved quite a lot of money. Furthermore, she had also invested some money into strategic
lands in the city. It was a rare resource. Every inch of thend was precious, and it wasn’t renewable.
Even if house prices dropped, the houses in those pieces ofnd would be unaffected.
She turned to look at Julia. “As for you all, every one of you is capable. If you leave Starlight Media,
many otherpanies will be fighting for you.”
At that, she paused briefly. “Still, I would suggest you, Jamie, and key start your own businesses.
With your poprity right now, working for other people is a waste.”
“Damn, Amelie, don’t tell me you’ve even prepared our start-up capital?” Julia eximed.
Amelie paused halfway through her actions of reaching into her bag. She was holding a card in her
hand. It was just as Julia had said.
In order to break Bria entirely away from the Alston Family, she had prepared for the worst. Still, she
couldn’t mistreat those who had been following her all this while.
Julia was upset now. “Am I still a friend to you? How inhumane are you to leave at this moment?”
“I won’t ask key to stay, but Jamie is definitely going to fight by my side till the end!”
Julia was quite a hot-tempered and straightforward person. She was the sort who would stand her
ground until the day she died. Amelie didn’t ask ke to stay simply because he wasn’t just a live
streamer but also a figure skater. Reputation was too important to him, and he mustn’t have the
slightest bit of a stain on his reputation.
“Amy, just rest up in the days toe. I’ll keep handling Starlight Media!”
Julia had already made ns. If Leo wanted to fight, even if they lost, they still wanted him to lose at
least something!
Of course, there was another intention behind her asking Amelie to leave. She didn’t want Amelie to
face the brutal scene. Seeing the career, she had prioritized getting destroyed by the man who was
once the love of her life… No one would be able to handle that. Amelie knew what she was thinking.
She didn’t decline and nodded instead.
It was a good chance to visit her father. In her 4 years of marriage, her father knew that the Alstons
didn’t like him, so he never visited her. Bria was already 3 years old but hadn’t met him yet. Of course,
Amelie should also tell him about the divorce. At the thought of that, she immediately booked tickets for
a flight that would bring her and Bria home.
The booking was just confirmed when her phone rang. It was the phone she rarely used. Also, only the
people closest to her knew the number. Her expression froze as she took out her phone and looked at
the jumping numbers on the screen. She didn’t recognize the number. She couldn’t help but guess who
the call was from.
After hesitating for a bit, Amelie answered the call.
From the other end of the line came a familiar male voice. “Is this Miss Foxy? I’m Toby Walsh, the
person in charge of Walsh Corporation.”
Toby Walsh? No wonder she found it familiar.
Amelie was slightly stunned. She never thought he would know her number. Moreover, she had linked
this number to the Foxy live-streaming ount so that she could use it for important matters. However,
since she kept a low profile, she almost never tried to contact advertisingpanies, so few people
knew of the number. Where did Toby get the number from?
Meanwhile, when the call went through, Toby’s heart leaped into joy. The person who gave him the
number told him that Foxy hadn’t used this number in 4 years, and he even worried for a moment that
she had abandoned that number.
“Hello, what’s the matter?” She suppressed the doubts in her mind as she asked.
“Well, hear me out.” Toby hastily exined his intentions.
As she listened, her expression gradually froze.
Toby had heard from somewhere that she was close acquaintance with a prominent figure in the
Skaynia business scene, Owen Steward. He wanted her to help convince Owen so that they could
strike a partnership deal. Interestingly, this partnership happened to be a product of both Toby’s and
Leo’s efforts.

“Sorry, but I’ll have to refuse.” She didn’t even think twice before giving her reply.
On the other end of the line, Toby was stunned.
“Miss Foxy, we’ll be eternally grateful if you can help us just this once. As for the wages, just name the
price.”
He thought that Amelie had refused because of the wages.
She simply smiled. “It has nothing to do with the wages. If you have other matters you need my help
with, Mr. Walsh, I might give it a try. But as for this one, just forget it.”
With that, she hung up politely.
On the other end of the line, he stared at his phone in bewilderment,pletely unable to understand
the situation. Foxy declined this job, but she was willing to help him with other things? Did she mean it,
or was she just being polite? She probably didn’t mean it. They had never met before, so she had no
reason to be so nice to him.
Julia, who was driving the car, also overheard the conversation. She didn’t seem to approve.
She couldn’t help but speak up. “Are you all right, Amy? You’ve divorced that wretched Alston, so why
are you friendly to his stupid friends?”
Amelie pursed her lips lightly. “I can ignore everyone else, but not Toby. He… helped me before.”
Amelie showed her fingers. “Twice, actually.”
The first time was when she lost too much blood while giving birth in the hospital, and Bria’s life was in
danger. The other time…
