Chapter 136
“What?” Amelie turned around and looked at Toby.
“You have a problem with your eye because you went through a cornea transplant to donate your cornea to Leo. Am I right?” Toby suddenly increased his volume, and there was a tone of certainty in his voice.
Although Amelie’s cornea transplant was just his suspicion and he didn’t have any proof, he just believed that she had donated her cornea. The moment he realized that, his heart wrenched sharply, and he felt a part of him missing: even breathing was difficult for him.
Meanwhile, his eyes were fixed on her face—her left eye, in particular.
Toby was usually gentle and had never shown his assertive side, so it startled Amelie. At this moment, her mind was in chaos, but she chuckled after a few seconds. “You do know how to make a joke, Mr. Walsh. If I had donated my cornea to Leo, I would’ve told him ages ago. That way, he wouldn’t have snubbed me for the whole four years.” With her head tilted, there was a mere smile on her face, and her eyes looked like they were
staring into space.
Judging from her expression, he was suddenly doubting what he was so sure about a few minutes ago.
“You should stop imagining things. Mr. Walsh.” Amelie tried her best to hide her feelings as she acted indifferently.
Although she didn’t regret her foolish decision at that time, she wasn’t willing to open up about this topic anymore. Everything related to Leo had already been set aside.
When Toby noticed that she was talking about it so casually, the pain in his heart was relieved, and his breathing went back to normal.
He’d rather she hurt her eye from a fall than believe she’d done something so foolish for Leo. It would be too
tragic for her if that were truly the case.
“Okay.” As he smiled, his exotic and gentle image was restored.
While they were chatting, Amelie’s phone sounded.
She lowered her head and saw a bank message notifying her that she had received a large amount of money. Instantly, shock paralyzed her since she rarely used that account.
Who on earth would send money to this bank account? Her first thought was whether someone had stolen her card to conduct some illegal business.
The moment she wanted to call the bank to inquire about it, her phone sounded again with another message coming in. The message was from Leo. “This is Bria’s living expenses. I will transfer it to you monthly from
now on Mir child doesn’t need to he fed hu athers’
When she read the message, she was initially startled before she found it hilarious. Does he think that Starlight Media’s owner is a man?
Without thinking twice, she transferred the money back to him.
In the meantime, Toby looked at her series of actions in silence. Only when she was done with everything did they walk home together.
When they arrived at the door, Amelie shouted instinctively, “Dad, is lunch ready? I’m hungry.”
However, Steven didn’t stick out his head to answer her as usual. The house was in complete silence as though no one was home.
Surprised by that, she thought he had gone out to buy some ingredients. When she stepped inside, she saw that he hadn’t left the house; instead, he was standing in the middle of the living room. His apron was still around his waist, and he was holding a silicon ladle in his hand with his eyes staring right ahead.
In front of him was a well-dressed person with an exquisite hairstyle; every strand of hair on the woman’ head exuded class and grace. Clad in stiletto heels, a strong aura of condescension could be felt even when she didn’t say a word.
“Mrs. Alston?” The moment Amelie recognized the person there, surprise surged through her.
Meanwhile, Melissa turned around after hearing someone calling her name. When she saw Amelie, her brows angled unnoticeably with disdain.
“Your children?” Amelie found Melissa’s attitude of not knowing what was right and wrong pretty hilarious,
and she laughed out loud. “Do you have too much confidence in your children, or are you just too egoistic, Mrs. Alston? Do you think everyone in this world wants to have something to do with your family? What you said just now is exactly what I want to tell you-can you please manage your children and not let them appear in my life all the time?”
“You b*tch!” Whenever Melissa said something. Amelie would refute it, and her words were getting more and more outrageous. In the end, Melissa couldn’t take it anymore while she scowled, saying. “Do you think that I can’t do anything to you with Starlight Media’s owner backing you up?”
“What do you want to do to me, Mrs. Alston?” Amelie threw the question back at her. If it was in the past, she
would have given in, but it was not necessary now.
Hearing that, Melissa had no comeback. She was so furious that her eyes popped out just like a goldfish. Condescension was always her image in front of people, for she acted aloof and elegant. She had no idea a day would come when she would be smoldered with anger like this. If there was a mirror in front of her at this
moment, she wouldn’t recognize herself.
“If you’re here about your children, I can tell you now that since my divorce, I have never approached anyone in your family voluntarily. It was your daughter who kept provoking me and even caused a scene at Starlight Media’s anniversary ceremony. You’d better have your eyes on her, Mrs. Alston, or else it won’t be just embarrassment that she’ll receive.”
“So, did you upload those videos?” Melissa tried to suppress her emotions to appear less agitated.
She didn’t know that the video of Bria and Jodie had been uploaded and thought that Melissa was talking about the clip of them dancing, so she chuckled.
However, this chuckle meant admission in Melissa’s eyes. Almost immediately, fury vibrated through her being. “You’re getting out of line, Amelie! Do you believe that I can strip you of your place in Starlight
Media?!”
“Strip me of my place?” Amelie found her threat extremely hilarious. The whole of Starlight Media is mine. Who can strip me of my place?
Just when she wanted to refute, she heard a bang as the door swung open.
