Chapter 355 Leo, Do You Think a Boy or a Girl Is Better?
She recovered within seconds and continued pouring. “No.”
No? Amelie studied her carefully.
Julia was alreadyughing it off. “See, you keep interrupting me, and it has interrupted the flow of
water. Coffee is delicate and finicky; if you don’t pour water at once, it will be sour. I was about to
show you my extraordinary abilities and treat you to an exquisite cup of coffee, but I’ve failed.”
With her animated expression, she didn’t look like something had happened to her.
“Please do tolerate it even if it’s sour.” She handed Amelie the cup of coffee. “You know that I’m
unrefined and only would engage in such a delicate habit once in a blue moon. I don’t have the talent
either, so don’t expect too much.”
“Of course not.” Amelie lowered her head to sip her coffee. Nothing was added to it, and she couldn’t
taste anything besides the intense bitterness.
When she finished her coffee, she remembered her purpose foring and pressed the documents
she was holding into Julia’s palm. She said seriously, “Jules, I may have founded Starlight Media, but
both of us did the work. You have sacrificed so much, even more than I have. I already asked the
lawyer to draft a transfer agreement of fifty percent of thepany shares, so I hope you will ept it.”
“Elie, what are you doing? Didn’t I mention that Starlight Media made me famous? I’ve already gotten
what I want, so I don’t want your shares.”
Amelie pressed her hand to stop her from moving. “Your contributions aside, we are still best friends
who are even closer than blood sisters. You’re getting married soon, so consider this your dowry or my
blessing for you and Samuel. If you see me as family, you have to ept it!”
Just as she finished speaking, Julia’s tears rolled down her face uncontrobly. Julia rarely cried, and
Amelie was stunned since it had been very long since Julia cried this hard.
“Elie, you are the best since you always look after me. However, it’s okay. There’s no need for this.” It
was a while before Julia continued, “I’ve already broken up with him.”
“Why did you guys break up?”
Julia sobbed for some time before finally taking a tissue to wipe away her tears. “Do you still remember
Miss Gage from before? She’s Samuel’s sister.”
The reminder made Amelie recall the two executives whom she had met in disguise. In particr, Miss
Gage seemed cold and proud whenever she looked at Julia. She had her suspicions and asked Julia
about it, but the other woman might not have told the truth.
“Did their family forbid you from being with him?” Amelie inquired, her tone more frigid than before.
Julia nodded. “Miss Gage somehow managed to discover what happened back then, med me for it,
and imed I did not deserve Samuel. It would have been fine if only she shared this sentiment, but
Samuel has also lost interest in our rtionship. He went behind my back and went for a matchmaking
session.”
“Did Miss Gage tell you that?” Amelie felt Samuel wouldn’t be that sort of person. The three of them
had known each other for many years, and she considered him to be humble, honest, and sort of a
brother figure.
Julia shook her head. “You know that while I have a short temper, I won’t fall for ims that easily. Miss
Gage took me to the matchmaking ceremony herself. The other girl’s parents seemed satisfied with
him and were discussing their marriage.”
“If Samuel didn’t want to be with me, he could’ve just said so, but secretly going on a blind date… I
cannot ept this.” Julia’s usually sharp features were now filled with hurt and bitterness.
“I didn’t make a scene though. No matter what, Samuel did have a rtionship with me before. I raised
my ss and blessed them.” Julia smiled slightly. “Elie, I’m like you now. I am free and have nothing to
worry about.”
Amelie looked at Julia somberly. The woman might have grown up in a vige, but her parents had
been important officials which gave her a proud attitude. Being brought there like that was akin to
humiliation.
Amelie felt sympathetic and hugged her. “Don’t worry, you still have me.”
“Okay.” Julia buried her face in her shoulder as tears ran down her cheeks again. She had been
pretending to be unbothered about it and acted as careless as usual, but no one knew how
heartbroken she was. Amelie’s warm hug made her feel like she had found her family, so she let
everything out.
When she was done crying, her mood improved drastically.
“I made you cross-dress before because Miss Gage was still concerned that I might disturb Samuel. I
deliberately acted intimate with you so they would think I’d already found someone. Sorry for using you.
Don’t get angry.”
Amelie red at her. “Of course, I am angry. You didn’t tell me anything when something of this scale
happened. Do you still consider me your friend?”
“I thought about telling you, but I was scared that I might get dejected and depressed by doing so.”
Her pride did not allow her to be depressed after experiencing a failed rtionship.
“Miss Gage came suddenly, so I was unprepared. I didn’t know what to do and came up with that stupid
idea.” Julia still looked apologetic.
Amelie shook her head and sighed. Without saying anything else, she handed over the transfer
agreement to Julia. “Since you’re not getting married, this isn’t considered a dowry. However, you’ve
already served thepany this long and contributed a lot to it, so you should have some shares as
well. You can think of it as a work benefit. It’ll encourage you to continue working hard, strengthening
and expanding Starlight Media into a global toppany!”
“Wow, Amelie Dillon. How cruel of you. You’re using thepany shares to bind me. That way, I can
toil tirelessly for you!” Julia eximed dramatically.
Amelie pretended to be an evil businesswoman. “Miss Julia, you are not working for me but for
yourself!”
The two of them joked around for some time before Julia eventually epted the shares.
After lunch, Julia had to go on a live show, so Amelie did not disturb her any longer. However, her
mood became worse when she walked out of Starlight Media. Samuel suddenly abandoning Julia still
felt somewhat doubtful, and after some thought, she called him.
“Can we meet up, Samuel?”
“Of course, but I am upied right now. Can I get someone to fetch you?” He sounded exhausted.
“Sure.”
Soon, the car Samuel sent arrived along with his subordinate. After she got in the car, they headed
straight for a high-ss private hospital in the countryside.
Samuel was waiting for her in the garden on the ground floor.
“Samuel, why are you at the hospital? Are you ill?” Amelie asked anxiously.
He rubbed his brows and smiled. “Not me, but my mother.”
“Oh.” She had assumed for a moment that he had decided to break up with Julia because he had an
incurable illness.
“My mother has a serious disease and needs to undergo an operation with a low sess rate. She
was afraid she couldn’t survive it and insisted on arranging my marriage. She arranged for a blind date
the day Julia found me, and I only knew about it upon arriving at the venue.” He had guessed her
purpose foring and gave his exnation.
“She left as soon as she gave a toast, not even giving me a chance to exin. She even blocked me
on everything, so I couldn’t contact her,” he went on, rubbing his brow more insistently. “Is she okay?”
It had been a misunderstanding. She secretly sighed in relief and chose to tell the truth. “She isn’t okay.
She feels hurt and offended, but she’s trying to put up a happy facade.”
Samuel frowned deeply when Amelie finished speaking.
“Sir, the doctor is looking for you.” A plump woman who looked like a servant ran toward them.
“Something happened to Madam Gage again.”
“Alright.” Samuel frowned and looked at her apologetically before leaving. “Sorry for not being able to
amodate you properly. Can you help me exin things to Julia? At the very least, tell her not to
block me again.”

“I will. Go on.” Knowing that it was urgent, she nodded her head decisively.
Samuel left quickly with the servant, while Amelie lingered there for a while before walking out of the
hospital. Just as she passed a patch of greenery, she heard a delicate voice.
“Leo, do you think a boy or a girl is better?”
