Chapter 316
Chapter 316 Depend on Leo
“Oh, right, Mrs. Alston, please stop your son from pursuing Foxy. She’s one of my best friends, and she
told me early on that she isn’t interested in your family at all.”
Knowing that Melissa was still hung up about Foxy, Amelie reminded her.
Melissa was so pissed that she snorted. “Who do you think you are to know someone like Foxy? In the
end, you’re just trying to depend on Leo!”
In Melissa’s eyes, Amelie was already lucky enough to get to know Julia. A famous icon like Foxy was
someone Amelie could only see in live streams.
“You can depend on Leo if you want, but you have to make it clear to the media right away that
everything Foxy said in the live stream was false, and it was something you made up!”
“Hah! So, you think I was the one who said all those, Mrs. Alston?” Something I made up?!
She used to think that Melissa was just a little too proud and cruel, but she realized that this super-
wealthydy also had the ability to spin lies without batting an eye.
Melissa raised her chin and sneered, clearly signifying that she was insistent on this thought. She had
never once allowed Amelie to depend on her son. However, at that moment, it wasn’t a bad idea to
make use of Amelie.
As long as Amelie put in a good word in front of the media, the reputation of Melissa and the Alstons
would be saved.
She would think of a way to deal with Amelieter! Amelie watched Melissa’s proud behavior, and she
had to lift her hand to cover the mocking smile appearing on her lips.
How can I not know what Melissa is thinking?
“Sorry, I won’t depend on Leo, but I don’t tell lies either. Mrs. Alston, if you feel like you were wrongly
used, you can go ahead and look for evidence to clear your name. As long as the evidence is solid,
I won’t say another word.”
Melissa fell silent because Amelie had forced her into a corner. Without faking anything, it was
impossible to find any evidence in their favor.
“Amelie, you’re just being shameless and reluctant to let go of Leo! Have more decency!” Melissa was
so mad that she no longer cared about her reputation, yelling, “You’re so young, but you refuse to do
anything, Amelie! You just want to be a parasite!”
The more Melissa talked, the worse her insults were. Amelie originally wanted to ignore her, but when
she heard Melissa’s words, she couldn’t help but frown.
A momentter, she took out her phone and pulled up her ie records. “Mrs. Alston, please have a
good look at this. I do have ie. Aside from other sources, this is a reading tform I started
recently. Just the ie from this source is enough to provide for me, my father, and Bria.”
Melissa lowered her head to look at it.
“Knowlit?”
Even though Melissa wasn’t an avid reader, she still heard about this newly established reading
tform.
Many wealthydies in her social circle even joined the tform’s offline training camp to heighten their
tastes.
She heard that the training camps had amazingly high standards, and the public was always fighting to
get a ce in the camps. Even scalpers were invested in the training camps and resold registration
spots for the bases, so they were highly sought after.
Wealthydies only took up a small percentage of the camp participants; most of the participants were
bosses of various hugepanies. Some were even important bosses of listedpanies. So,
Amelie’s the one who organizes those camps? How could a useless woman like Amelie actually
establish such a high-ss tform?
Melissa checked the ie records again with her eyes wide like saucers. Amelie’s ie was more
than enough to providefortably for her family of three; it wouldn’t even be a problem to provide for
1000 families of three!
“H-How can this be?”
Melissa looked at Amelie with bloodshot eyes, as if she had seen a ghost.
“If you doubt the authenticity of the records, Mrs. Alston, you can check with the Industry and
Commerce Bureau to see if I’m the legal representative.” Amelie put her phone away and asked in a
calm voice, “So, can you leave me alone for a while now, Mrs. Alston?”
Melissa was lost for words. Usually, if Amelie dared to chase her away, she would blow up in a fury. But
now, her soul seemed to be drained from her body as she made no reaction.
Sometimeter, she walked out in a daze. Looking at Melissa’s receding figure, Amelie sighed lightly.
“It must be tiring to have the Alstons on your heels all the time.”
At the side, Toby walked in with a smile on his never-changing face.
With his signature white casual suit and refreshing smile, his presence seemed to soften the entire
world. Amelie looked at him in surprise.
Toby curved his lips into a smile. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation.”
“It’s okay.” It was only then that Amelie shrugged.
Toby knew more than anyone about her unfortunate situation with the Alstons. He was still smiling, and
the smile in his eyes deepened when he looked at her. “I have a way of silencing everyone who wants
to bother you.”
“What is it?” She was intrigued. It would be the best help she could get.
Toby pointed at himself, but Amelie was silent. Seeing her obviously confused expression, Toby
chuckled.
“It’s easy. Link your identity as Amelie to the boss of Starlight Media, then announce to the public that
you are already engaged or even married. As for your identity as Foxy, she can go out with me.”
Amelie was speechless.
She did approve of the former part of the n, for she was the boss of Starlight Media anyway. But
going out with Toby…
“Never mind.”
“What’s wrong? Am I not worthy?” Toby asked with raised eyebrows.
Amelie looked at him. The man was born with a refreshing aura like the spring breeze, and everything
he did gave people the feeling of walking into a field of flowers, where only rxation remained.
It was no wonder that many women kept pursuing him despite knowing they wouldn’t get anywhere.
“That’s not it.” She shook her head. “You’re a young man, Mr. Walsh, and you can choose anyone you
like, so you don’t have to be involved with me.”
“Being involved with you is beneficial to me too,” exined Toby. “My family has been pressuring me to
get married these days, but I never liked those rich young girls. If I can find someone who can silence
my parents, my life will be much easier. If you’re willing, just think of it as helping me. My parents even
said that if I don’t settle down soon, I’ll be kicked out ofpany matters.”
If he were to speak of something else, Amelie definitely wouldn’t agree.
But if he was asking her for help…
Amelie knew more or less about the situation in Toby’s family. The person in power in thepany was
the Old Mr. Walsh.
Toby’s father and uncles were fighting each other for the right to inherit thepany. The younger
generations were dragged into this battle early on, and as soon as they reached their twenties, they
would immediately find their partners.
The partners in question were simply strong allies they could marry so that they would seem more
qualified.
Toby’s sister was a little luckier because she coincidentally married the man she loved. The other
cousins were less fortunate, however.
Toby had saved her twice, and she owed him a lot.
“Okay.” She nodded. “But just to make things clear, we’re simply pretending to be lovers. When you’ve
found someone you like, who is also a suitable partner, we’ll announce our breakup right away.
Throughout the entire process, I won’t get involved in your private life, but you can’t fool around like you
used to. You should seek someone you like as soon as possible.”
“Okay,” Toby replied, his curved lips unknowingly tinted with a hint of bitterness.
“Actually, it’s been a long while since Ist got to know any women,” he said sheepishly.
Amelie nced at him without thinking too much about his words. Toby could only extend a hand
toward her. “I look forward to working with you.”This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
