Chapter 289 Something Is off About Jodie

Ellen was squatting by the river, a bird’s nest before her.

The nest had two newly hatched chicks.

The mother of the chicks was nowhere to be found. The chicks had their eyes closed as they opened their beaks, chirping the whole time.

Ellen felt somewhat helpless though she was doing her best to feed them the worms she had captured.

However, the chicks were too young, so they could not swallow the worms.

That being said, she still kept going at it, not feeling the least bit tired.

“Tsk!”

At some point, Amelie came over and expressed herself while standing behind Ellen. She gazed at Ellen like she was watching a movie.

Meanwhile, Ellen refused to look at Amelie. She simply curled up and continued behaving as she had earlier.

Amelie approached Ellen and picked up the worms in front of her using two tiny sticks before stuffing them down the chicks’ necks.

The chicks could finally eat the worms, so they chirped contentedly.

Ellen stopped what she was doing since she was transfixed by Amelie’s actions.

Her dumbfounded eyes radiated a lifeless glow.

One could tell at a glance that she was off her rocker.

“What is Elyse planning to do? Why did she send you over?” Amelie inevitably sighed.

Only Elyse was capable of sending someone who was not of sound mind to the program.

Is she out of her mind? Amelie mused.

On the other hand, Ellen was unresponsive. As she looked at Amelie, her gaze slowly morphed into one of shock, as if she had seen a ghost.

It was primarily fear.

She curled into herself even more.

Amelie reached out and grabbed Ellen’s shoulder to gently tug at her, successfully getting her close.

“Why did you want to save these two chicks?” she asked.

Ellen shifted her gaze and her eyelashes fluttered. After some time, she finally mumbled, “They’re pitiful.”

“These two are pitiful, and the other is not?” Amelie questioned. “You smashed it to death. Why?”

That statement seemed to have caused Ellen greater pressure. Soon, her gaze began to flit wildly.

Amelie pulled her closer as she fixed her gaze on the photographer who was filming them from afar. Lowering her voice, she questioned, “What part did you play in the roof collapse just now?”

“I-I have no idea what you’re referring to.” Ellen jumped away from Amelie apprehensively. She turned around and left the chicks behind as she fled.

Amelie was quicker, though. She leaned forward and gripped Ellen’s wrist before getting close to the woman’s ear and whispering, “You can ask Elyse if you’re not sure about my character.”

Ellen grunted and shook her head vigorously. Tears soon filled her eyes and she burst into tears.

“I did nothing. Don’t accuse me.” She trembled as she spoke, appearing rather feeble and pitiful.

Those who were not aware of what was going on might feel that Amelie had done something bad to Ellen.

Everything seemed a little weird to Amelie. As such, she inevitably turned around, only to see Leo standing nearby.

He was looking at them with a dark gaze.

Is Ellen acting pitifully because she saw Leo? Amelie found it amusing, but she did not let go of Ellen immediately. On the contrary, she continued warning her. “I’ll get to the bottom of this. If you’re proven guilty, I’ll get even with you even if someone else backs you up!”

She strode out of the place after she said that.

She walked right by Leo without pausing. Behind her, she sensed that Ellen seemed to have thrown herself into Leo’s arms.

Amelie, however, could not be bothered. She did not even turn around.

The director rushed to her when she entered a crowded area.

“Miss Foxy!” The director was extremely humble the minute he saw her. “I’m really sorry. I invited you over to the show, but there were so many accidents. Are you all right?”

“I’m fine,” Amelie said lightly. She refrained from reprimanding the director because she was aware that the mishap had little to do with him.

However, the director kept stroking his bald head.

This show was his career’s most thrilling and exciting program to date, and his bald spot had significantly grown because of the fear.

“That’s good.” Since Amelie did not hold him responsible, the director quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He then said, “It’s like this… With the nonstop issues these past two days, our team decided to alter our plans and pray together this afternoon at the local Church of Faith.”

Jodie? What is wrong with her?!

Once again, Amelie saw Jodie’s illogical action and she was struck dumb in astonishment.

In that instant, Jodie put both her hands on her waist. She couldn’t care less if there was a photographer with her or not as she stared at Ellen and growled, “Get lost.”

Amelie was at a loss for words.

The push caused Ellen to bang against the seat next to her. She looked quite feeble and delicately pitiful when that happened.

She started blinking in a trance again. Tears were brimming in her eyes as they threatened to fall at any minute.

The tears in her eyes trembled, but they did not fall. It was such a skill that she had.

Amelie was never one for crying. She was forced to sigh as a result of Ellen’s amazing talent for crying and controlling her tears. Truth be told, she was quite impressed by that.

Meanwhile, Ellen still remained silent. Her eyes were crimson as she pursed her lips. She slowly straightened her back, looking as if she was being bullied. She just stood there and looked at them pitifully.

Once again, Amelie was struck speechless. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles there.

Amelie’s feelings worsened with Ellen’s frail and pathetic appearance. It gave her the illusion that she had bullied Ellen.

At first, she assumed Leo would undoubtedly act in some way given the circumstances. He would at least hurry over to comfort Ellen by giving her a hug, but the man beside her did nothing after waiting for quite a while.

On the contrary, she missed the best chance to leave.

When she realized that she should find another seat and not act like a dog in the manger, the bus was fully occupied.

Amelie was at a loss for words and she felt numb all over.

She patted her head ruefully.

At last, Ellen could only get into another small car arranged by the director since she had no seat.

The man beside her made no comment throughout the whole process.

Did he… argue with Ellen? Amelie inevitably made assumptions. Only after a long while did she realize that she was in his arms with his hand on her shoulder.

Suddenly, Amelie leaped up and straightened her posture.

Her face under her mask was burning hot and she was extremely flustered.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered after a while.

Leo retrieved his hand and turned around slowly to glance at her. His gaze was dark and bottomless, drawing her in.
