Chapter 29 It Hits Differently When You Have a Man to Take Care of You

“I’m only giving you one night.” Leo lowered his head to look at his watch. “At 9.00AM tomorrow, I expect you to personally send Bria right to the entrance of the Alston Residence.”

He didn’t mention what would happen if Amelie were late.

After all, she had been married to him for four years and had always observed him before that, so she was familiar with his tactics. This man had always been cruel and ruthless toward his enemies.

With that, Leo turned around and left. His silhouette was resolute and cold.

As Amelie gazed at his receding figure, a forlorn smile flashed across her face. This man was stubborn, cold-blooded, and self-centered. How did she fall for him in the first place?

…

“Alston came to you to talk about Bria’s custody?”

It wasn’t until they had their meal and Bria returned to her room that Julia asked about this.

Amelie nodded, her heart heavy-laden. She relayed everything Leo said before he left.

“F*ck!” When Julia heard that Leo had threatened Amelie, she cursed again.

“Even if the entire world is full of saints in Alston’s eyes, you are the only sinner he could never forgive!”

Julia was so furious that she kept scratching the table, pretending that the furniture was Leo.

“You only have to ask around to know who’s in the wrong in this matter. Leo is blind beyond belief. If you had known it would be like this, you should’ve ignored him and let him be blind for life! It’s no big

deal to be physically blind, but having your heart blinded is irredeemable!”

Julia looked at Amelie, her heart aching for her. Not many people knew that Amelie indeed had extremely poor vision in one eye. For the sake of a wretched man like Leo, she had offered an unthinkable sacrifice!

Still, knowing that the past would only cause Amelie more sorrow, Julia eventually restrained herself. She came over to hold Amelie’s hands. “What are you planning to do now? Do you have any plans?”

If they took it to court, the agreement in Amelie’s possession wouldn’t be much help. Amelie had asked Melissa to sign the agreement because she knew Melissa prioritized her pride. Furthermore, Melissa would be too proud to take back her words after signing them.

Amelie had devised many plans, but she forgot to guard against Leo. He had already agreed to let Amelie have the child, but now he had changed her mind.

She stayed silent, a frown on her face. Julia couldn’t fathom what she was thinking.

“I think if he wants to take it to court, we’ll accept the challenge! We have evidence on our hands, so why would we be afraid that we wouldn’t win?” Julia decisively announced, grabbing her phone to contact a lawyer.

“Don’t!” Amelie hastily grabbed her hand. “Don’t take it to court.”

“Amy, this isn’t about whether we’re willing to take it to court. Instead, we know for sure that Leo will definitely sue us!” Julia reminded her.

Then, Julia’s heart ached again. “I know you don’t want to face him in court, and you don’t want your relationship to end like this.”

Amelie had sacrificed so much in the beginning, but things had turned out like this. No average person would have endured this.

“I don’t care how my relationship ends, but Bria is different,” she said, her voice exceedingly calm. “There was no need for her to be stuck between us and snatched back and forth.”

“So, I will never take it to court for Bria’s sake.” Amelie had made up her mind.

“But if this continues, our only option is to let Bria go.” Julia was anxious again.

“No.”

Amelie brushed back her hair and pulled Julia closer, then began whispering…

…

“Leo, do you mean it? Is Amelie really going to send Bria back today?”

At the Alston Residence, Jodie had just received this news, so she hastily went to him for confirmation.

Melissa, who had a dark expression on her face throughout the night, finally recovered and looked at Jodie. “Your brother still hasn’t gone to work at this hour, and that’s because he’s waiting for Bria. It couldn’t have been fake.”

“That’s great!”

Getting her confirmation, Jodie was so elated that she was about to leap in joy. Her plans finally worked!

Carla really was capable, just like she was made out to be.

Jodie had already decided that she would use Bria to punish Amelie even more. She wouldn’t stop until Amelie wished she were dead and kneeled down to beg for mercy!

Melissa glanced down at her watch. “It’s almost time, isn’t it?”

She didn’t think much about punishing Amelie. However, she still held a grudge against Amelie for forcing her to sign the agreement yesterday. Also, Bria’s family name was Alston. If Bria lived outside the family, it would be a huge hit to the Alstons’ reputation.

The three were still talking when the butler, Mr. Cooper, walked in. “Mrs. Alston, Mr. Leo, Miss Jodie. Miss Dillon is here.”

After they were informed that Amelie had arrived, the three stood up and exited the house.

At that moment, Amelie was standing outside. Today, she was wearing a white dress. Her skin was paler than snow, and her features were bright and charming. She was so radiant right now, a stark contrast to the Amelie who had been quiet and underdressed while in the Alston Residence. She even looked like another person now.

When Leo saw Amelie like this, he was slightly stunned for a brief moment. He had to admit that her aura, spirit, and appearance had undergone a drastic change after the divorce.

At the back, Jodie clicked her tongue. “It hits differently when you have a man to take care of you, doesn’t it? Look how much your circumstances have improved now.”

Amelie’s face was expressionless, but Leo frowned deeply in an instant, his expression extremely sour.

Melissa ran over to pinch Jodie. “That’s enough!”

If Jodie described in that way, the Alston Family would be the losing party here, and they sounded like a disgrace. It was an insult to both the Alston Family and Leo himself, hinting that he was so terrible

that he wouldn’t even provide for a woman!

She finally realized that she had chosen the wrong words to say, so she hastily covered her mouth.

Amelie lifted the corners of her lips, expressing a look of ridicule.

Even the Alstons themselves knew that they had mistreated her.

“Where’s Bria?” Leo asked, his patience running thin. He scanned the place, but he couldn’t catch sight of Bria.

“Bria is not coming here,” she replied calmly.

His face instantly fell. When he looked at Amelie, there was a look of disdain on his face, just like before. “Do you think I can’t do anything if you hide Bria from me? Childish!”

Amelie simply smiled.

Leo actually wanted to call her stupid, didn’t he?

“What do you want to do?” Amelie originally meant to bid farewell, but she was suddenly interested when she heard what he said.

“Of course, he’ll get a lawyer to sue you, then you won’t be able to see Bria ever again!” Jodie shouted impatiently.

She wanted Amelie to suffer right now.

Amelie’s smile only widened. She should be smiling, but there was a feeling of deep sorrow in her eyes.

In the end, she looked at Leo. “Is that true?” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Her gaze was firm as if she absolutely had to get her answer.

Leo looked at her and saw clearly the tears shivering and welling in her eyes. There was an ache in his heart. However, it only lasted a few seconds.

In the next moment, he nodded. “Yes!”

Faced with a woman who only knew manipulation, this was the best punishment!

“You’re so cruel,” Amelie mumbled, her voice filled with desolate helplessness.

Leo sneered. “I’m already nice enough compared to the manipulation you did 4 years ago!”

“The manipulation 4 years ago?” she asked, not expecting him to mention this.

Her gaze gradually turned cold. “Leo, why are you still playing the victim at times like this?”
