Of the Mila stories I have ever read, perhaps the most impressive one is A Matter of Wife and Love. The story is too good, leaving me with many doubts. Currently, the manga has been translated to Chapter 157. Let's read the author's A Matter of Wife and Love Mila story right here.
Chapter 157
After thinking about it, Amelie felt that even if it were for Bria’s sake, she shouldn’t have taken it to court and eventually turned Leo into her enemy.
She was calling up Leo with that in mind.
She kept thinking she should talk to him and resolve this matter peacefully.
In the end, she overheard this conversation instead.
At that moment, Amelie felt her heart turn cold.
Then, a cold smile crept onto her lips.
He kept claiming that he cared about Bria, but clearly, he didn’t care much about her.
He even turned off his phone just to accompany Elyse.
Hah.
After hanging up, Amelie began to look for a lawyer.
Starlight Media had its own legal team, but it was more specialized in business matters.
Even though it was the same occupation, their field and focus were different, so there would be an obvious difference.
The person in charge of the legal team recommended Amelie a professional divorce lawyer in Clouson City. After talking for some time over the phone, Amelie briefly told the lawyer about her situation.
“From the current situation, I can see that your video is the strongest evidence the other party has. However, that video isn’t completely invincible,” the lawyer said after a simple analysis of the case.
A discussion over the phone would be inconvenient, so the lawyer invited her for a detailed discussion at his office the next day.
Amelie noted the address, then hung up.
The next day at the appointed time, she went to Oriental Law Firm where the lawyer worked.
She waited there for 2 hours before the lawyer finally showed up.
Amelie didn’t mind it. She retrieved some documents from her bag and said, “I’ve brought everything you asked
me to.
He wiped some sweat off his forehead as he spoke with an apologetic look.
His sudden change in attitude startled Amelie, and she wasn’t sure what she should do. “Didn’t you say that it’s
an easy case?”
“It is, but after some discussion, we decided not to accept your case. Why don’t you ask at another place?”
Amelie looked at the lawyer in suspicion, feeling like there was something else he wasn’t saying.
“Can you be honest with me? Did someone pressure you?”
Hearing Amelie’s question, the lawyer smiled uneasily as he pushed his thick-rimmed glasses. “You are indeed
a smart person, Miss Dillon.”
Amelie didn’t know what to feel about her guesses being spot on.
How could the Alstons do something so despicable just to prevent her from getting custody of Bria?
If even Oriental Law Firm didn’t dare to accept her case, asking the other law firms would be a waste of time
as well.
“Miss Dillon, I know that you’re the representative of Starlight Media and are in no lack of money, but the Alstons have both money and power, and they even have numerous connections. You won’t win if you fight them, so why don’t you sit down and negotiate with them? Perhaps they’ll spare you,” the lawyer suggested.
He felt quite sorry because he broke his promise and was unable to help Amelie.
Even though he dared not offend the Alstons, he still wanted to do his best and give Amelie some friendly
advice.
Amelie knew the lawyer was saying this for her own good, so she nodded. “Thank you.”
After walking out, she took a deep breath.
Toby was stunned at her words. He couldn’t help but shrug, his handsome face filled with confusion.
Amelie knew that Toby wasn’t that sort of person, so she secretly nudged Julia, hinting at the latter to stop talking.
Julia was still pissed, so she ignored Amelie’s advice. “Isn’t that so? That Alston guy is trying to snatch the child from her, and he’s scared that he won’t be able to suppress us, so now he’s sending someone here to spy
on us!”
revelation.
Julia glanced at him. “Go back and tell that Alston guy that even if he can seal the lawyers’ mouths, he cannot seal mine. If he wants to fight us for the child, I’ll fight with him to the bitter end!”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Walsh. Julia is quite emotional right now. Amelie knew more or less that Toby had a different character from Leo. She didn’t want him to be falsely blamed, so she sincerely apologized.
Toby shook his head in understanding. “I never expected Leo to fight you for the child. He has never told me about this before. Is there anything I can help you with?”
Amelie shook her head silently.
The Alstons and the Walshes were business partners. It wouldn’t be practical to ask Toby for help.
Still, to her, Bria was like life itself.
When she thought about the possibility of Bria getting snatched away by Leo, she felt increasingly empty and fearful in her heart.
Toby didn’t stay for long as he soon bade goodbye and left,
He got into his car, but instead of starting the car, he made a call to ask about the lawsuit.
After ending the call, he fell into deep thought.
He knew Leo’s temperament. Even if Leo truly were fighting with Amelie for the child, he wouldn’t have done something like prevent her from hiring a lawyer.
Only Melissa would do something like that.
At that thought, he dialed Leo’s number.
Leo’s phone was turned off.
“Hah!” He chuckled, then dialed another number…
