A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 178

Elyse kept observing the changes in Leo’s facial expression. When she saw that he was silent, she slightly furrowed her brows.

“Amelie suddenly announced that she would cut all ties with Starlight Media and the boss of Starlight Media. She probably has something up her sleeves, considering she chose to announce it at such a moment. Leo, will you choose to remarry her because of Bria?”

The content she showed Leo was precisely the joint statement announced by Amelie and Starlight Media.

The statement stated that Amelie would part ways with Starlight Media and seek opportunities at another entertainment company. At the same time, the 20 million dollar educationfund established by the boss of Starlight Media for Bria would also be automatically invalidated.

Initially, this was Melissa’s tactic to rob Amelie of Bria’s custody rights. However, the meaning behind this announcement was suddenly interpreted as Amelie taking this opportunity to hint to Leo that she was single when these words escaped Elyse’s lips.

Leo frowned. I’m really quite surprised that Amelie would make this decision. Through our interactions these days, I can sense that my feelings for Amelie are secretly changing from utter loathing to having a certain degree of affection for her. In fact, I don’t even resent the idea of getting back with her. It’s just that… Ellen’s whereabouts are unknown. Compared to Amelie, she is the person I should truly be responsible for and look after throughout my life!

When he thought of this, he firmly denied, “No, I won’t.”

Elyse smirked inwardly upon hearing Leo’s answer and took care to remain calm and collected on the outside. As long as Leo doesn’t remarry Amelie, I will have plenty of time to woo him!

Things had been far more relaxing for Amelie now that she was no longer in charge of Starlight Media’s business.

Other than doing live streaming at a fixed period of time every day, she was practically free the rest of the time.

However, given her restless nature, she eventually couldn’t bear going about her days like this and started working on new projects again after she had nothing better to do.

Just like that, a new proposal came out half a month later. For her latest project, she decided to build an advanced learning plus training platform oriented toward adults. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She sent the proposal to Julia, and the latter had her mind blown after she read it. “Holy moly! You really are a genius! There are so many study channels, but why has no one ever thought of

doing it this way? Amelie, you are about to get rich again!”

Amelie smiled, feeling wholly confident in her plans.

“The most important thing now is to find the most brilliant personnel for designing the most. outstanding courses that can explain profound theories in simple terms.”

Since advanced users were the target market for her platform, Amelie naturally needed to create fantastic courses in order to draw their attention.

This quality of Amelie’s was exactly what Julia admired the most. She knows what she wants and how to reach her goal.

When Julia heard that Amelie was seeking highly specialized personnel, she immediately asked Samuel to utilize his network resources to scout out some professors for Amelie.

Within a few days, Samuel sent Amelie an email, informing her that he had received the contact information of some of the most impressive leaders in the field of economics, cutting-edge technology, business, astronomy, and many more!

Amelie recruited a few business representatives and assigned them clients who were easily persuaded. As for her, she reserved the fussiest client to herself. And thus, her business expansion journey began.

On this day, Amelie located the most prominent figure in the field of economics known asSpectre

Manus.

Even though he was really exceptional, he was notoriously known to have a cold attitude as well.

The other party finally came to meet her after she had waited for a long time.

However, as soon as she held out her business card, the other party rudely slapped it onto the ground. “I am a very busy person. I don’t have time for this nonsense!”

Even so, Amelie wasn’t angry. Instead, she picked up the business card with a smile and said, “I know you are busy. I shall discuss the skillful means to change the world again when you are free.”

The other party seemed not to care about her gender at all, for he slapped her hand away and got out of the car with an icy demeanor.

Since Amelie had gone through plenty of hardships when she started Starlight Media, she didn’t take this setback into consideration at all. In fact, it only motivated her further.

As she stared at the car that was driving away, she merely sat back down and thought about her

next move.

A car gradually stopped before her while she was in her thoughts.

The people in the car kept looking at her through the window with a hint of indifference and complacency glimmering in their condescension-filled eyes.

This person was none other than Melissa.

She happened to notice Amelie’s every move when her car drove over.

She didn’t know what Amelie and the other party were talking about. She only knew that the other party threw away all the business cards after Amelie held out her business card repeatedly.

In fact, in Melissa’s eyes, Amelie’s current state of sitting down and thinking was a sign of her defeat. It seems that I have really come up with the right strategy. As expected, Amelie is just a nobody after she left Starlight Media!

When she thought of that, she secretly took a picture of Amelie and ordered her driver, “Go down and ask her for a business card. Also, ask her which company she works for.”

Since she had just recruited this driver, she figured there was no way that Amelie could recognize

him.

The driver took her order and stepped out of the car.

Not long after, he returned with Amelie’s business card. “Here you go, Mrs. Alston.”

Melissa took it, lowered her head, and glanced at it. “Enhance App? What is this?”

With that, the driver explained to her Amelie’s explanation.

“In conclusion, she’s doing something relating to c-books.” Melissa had always despised things like this the most, and the disdain on her face intensified when she remembered that the number of e-books available was abundant nowadays.

She took another look at the business card and noticed Amelie put herself as Sales Manager of Enhance Co. Ltd.

When she laid her eyes on the title, she snorted derisively again, not being able to hide the mockery on her face. Everyone knows that those engaging in sales often give themselves the title of ‘manager’ just to deceive others. In reality, they are nothing but low-class salespeople.

“Miss Dillon said that their company has just been established,” the driver added.

Melissa laughed out loud when she heard what the driver said. “Only a newly established

company with no standard would hire a brainless woman like her. Any company with a slightly strong background won’t ever hire someone like her.”

She saw hope through Amelie’s pathetic life.

specifically invited her friends to play poker for the entire day. Finally, she even went for a full- body spa before instructing the driver to take her home.

By the time she got home, Leo had also returned.

He was looking down, frowning as he read the stack of documents that he placed on his knees.

Laura stood by his side without saying a word.

When she saw Melissa, she immediately addressed her, “Mrs. Alston.”

After she nodded arrogantly, she handed her shopping bags to Miss Potts. Then, she sat across from Leo.

Laura knew that, based on Melissa’s actions, she had something to discuss with Leo. So, Laura quickly left after she received the documents from Leo.

Only then did Melissa put her feet together, straighten her back, and look at Leo. “Can you be more concerned regarding Bria’s custody rights? Amelie probably won’t be able to raise her any longer, so bring her back as soon as possible.”

Leo, who was initially deep in thought, frowned upon hearing those remarks and immediately raised his head to stare at Melissa.

Meanwhile, Melissa looked at her son with a prideful look written all over her face. “We had signed an agreement when she made her own statement that she would leave Starlight Media, cut all ties with the boss of Starlight Media, and only use her own money to raise Bria last time. And if she can’t do it, then we have the right to take Bria away. Today, I witnessed her humbling herself in front of clients for the sake of business and getting her business cards thrown away. So, I guess she won’t last long in her job.”

After that, she pursed her lips in a dignified manner. “Even if she can stay in such a small company, she still won’t be able to earn a lot of money. Bria will only suffer if she follows her. Considering how she thought highly of herself and regarded herself as infallible before, I’d say it’s about time someone taught her a lesson and let her have a clear look at the harsh, cold reality.”

“So, it was you who forced her to give up her job at Starlight Media!” Leo frowned as he looked at Melissa.

In contrast with the delighted look Melissa had in mind, Leo’s face was currently full of displeasure.

For a moment, Melissa was stunned yet somewhat guilty. She almost didn’t dare to look Leo in

the eyes.

Nevertheless, she immediately regained her courage. “I’m simply doing this for you and the Alstons’ sake. What’s more, it’s she who’s incompetent and cannot afford to raise Bria. Therefore,

go to her, and ask her to hand over Bria’s custody rights. As long as Bria returns to the Alston Residence, I don’t care who she is with or what she does!”

Just when she was raving about this, Leo suddenly got up and walked away.

Melissa was so angry that she nipped her fingers when she received such an abrupt dismissal just when she was talking.

Nonetheless, she could do nothing, for Leo had already opened the door and left.

Since Amelie was on the move for the entire day, she returned home a little later than usual.

Although she got off to a bad start, she wasn’t discouraged even the slightest.

That was because whenever she started a new business, it always energized her. It was as though her strength was doubled, giving her inexhaustible energy.

As she walked, she organized the tasks she needed to carry out tomorrow on her phone.

Because she was so immersed in typing out her plans for tomorrow, she didn’t notice that there was someone in front of her and accidentally bumped into that person’s arms.

The bump sent her head aching.

Amelie covered her aching area and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry.”

As she spoke, she backed away.

Alas, the person suddenly reached out and grabbed her arms instead of responding to her.

Amelie was taken aback for a moment and instinctively raised her head.

When she saw the face of the person in front of her, it momentarily took her off guard.
