A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 321

Chapter 321 Who’s the President of Starlight Media?

“Is Amelie kidding me right now?”

Melissa had just decided to accept Amelie, but the latter was already getting married! She read the words on the screen over and over again, feeling like fate was mocking her.

The news article was reporting the news of Amelie getting married to Starlight Media’s owner. The boss of Starlight Media had been missing for so long that Melissa almost forgot this person even existed.

Melissa felt like someone was choking her, and she couldn’t catch her breath.

“What the hell?!”

Gripping her phone, Melissa began pacing around the house. The sleepiness she managed to develop had vanished in an instant. After pacing for a while, she thought long and hard about it, then suddenly realized that it might not be bad news after all.

Even if Amelie got married, they still had Foxy. Foxy’s 100 million fans were far more impressive than Amelie’s reading platform.

If she secured Foxy, no matter what the latter tried to do, she could easily win!

After shifting her focus, Melissa began anxiously thinking of ways to get Foxy and her son together.

…

It was a new day. Like always, Julia leaped out of the car in great vigor and strode with a haughty aura toward her own office.

She had just arrived at the steps leading to the main entrance of Starlight Media when she accidentally caught sight of a tall man standing next to the steps.

When she recognized the man, she couldn’t help but click her tongue. “Wow, I didn’t expect to see trash here.”

Her voice wasn’t too loud, but her eyes were filled with obvious disdain.

Not many people could incur such wrath from Julia, and one of them was Leo.

Leo didn’t look like he sensed her disgust as he remained standing. His thin shirt clung to his skin as the chilly morning breeze rustled the leaves around them. He didn’t seem affected by the cold as he remained stationary.

On the contrary, his natural stern aura felt even colder than the wind. Julia suspected that the one getting frozen to death wouldn’t be him but the wind instead.

Julia had nothing nice to say about Leo, so she gave him a glance and decided to take another path. However, Leo suddenly turned around as if he had eyes on his back. He walked toward her and blocked her path in just a few steps.

“Miss White, I have a question.”

The impatience was clear in his eyes, but he suppressed his attitude when he talked to her. Even though his voice was as cold as always, it wasn’t unpleasant at all.

Julia looked at him scornfully as she crossed her arms. “Mr. Alston, you came to me early in the morning to ask a question. People who didn’t know better might think that we have some secret affair.”

Leo frowned slightly, obviously unapproving of her bold teasing. Still, he didn’t express any opinions as he asked, “Who exactly is the boss of Starlight Media?”

“Oh, Starlight Media’s boss.” As soon as he spoke up, Julia understood why he was asking about this.

It definitely had to do with the news Amelie released earlier in the day. Honestly speaking, Julia only saw the news in the morning.

Julia was wondering why Amelie would post such things out of the blue, and she had intended to interrogate the latter about it when she had time later. Now that Leo was asking her, she suddenly understood.

Amelie probably did it to ward off the man in front of her.

“Why are you looking for our boss?” Julia feigned ignorance as she rolled her eyes at Leo. “Business matters? Sorry, but our president doesn’t fancy talking business with the likes of you.”

Leo frowned again. “It has nothing to do with business.”

“Then there’s even less of a reason to tell you.” Julia exaggerated her shrug as she put on a pitying expression. “However, Mr. Alston, you’re quite skilled, aren’t you? If you’re truly sincere about it, you can figure it out yourself.”

With that, she stepped around him and walked forward. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Miss White, you should know what Samuel did in the past, right?”

Julia had only walked a few steps when the man’s low voice sounded again.

She froze in her tracks.

Her pretty face instantly turned white as she balled her hands into fists.

“Are you threatening me?” A long while later, she finally growled through gritted teeth. Fury was evident in her expression.

Leo remained unaffected. “I want all the information on the identity of the boss of Starlight Media.”

Without explicitly admitting it, he was indeed threatening her. If she didn’t give him what he wanted, she knew what would happen to Samuel. Julia was so furious that her entire body trembled as she bit her lip.

A long while later, she snorted. “Does Elie know that you came to talk to me? Does she know your true self? You’re anxious to see the boss of Starlight Media because of her, right? But if she knows that you’re actually threatening me, even if she did like you a little, that tiny bit of affection will still turn into hatred! Moreover, she’s no longer the slightest bit interested in you!”

Julia seemed to have gone all out, not caring anymore whether what she said would enrage Leo.

There was a fire raging in her eyes.

“Leo, you’re a jerk! Jerks like you don’t deserve to be with Elie in a million years! It’s a good thing that Elie married a good man, so she won’t be hurt by jerks like you again!”

The words ‘good man’ were like a thorn that pierced Leo’s nerves.

His blade-like eyebrows twitched as his gaze turned even sharper!

Still, he didn’t say anything as he fell silent. He stood there gloomily like a murderous tree, and he was so cold and distant that anyone would fear him.

Julia was haughty, so as soon as she took that bold step forward, she no longer feared anything.

She huffed at Leo, demanding, “You want to go against Samuel, huh? Fine, go ahead. Report him and expose everything he has ever done. See if I’d tell you anything after that!”

With that, she stormed away.

Behind her, Leo slightly pursed his thin lips. He smiled. Yes, he did.

Eugene had been watching him from a reasonable distance all this while. When Julia insulted Leo like that, Eugene was already sweating all over his palms as he imagined the tragic ending Julia would face.

In the end, Leo didn’t do anything, and he even smiled.

Eugene looked at Leo as if he were looking at a ghost. “Mr. Alston, are you… enraged?”

“Enraged? Do you think that’s necessary?” Leo said coldly, his voice void of emotions. “I just feel like with a personality like that, she’s the perfect friend for Elie.”

She was a little careless yet quite heroic, so she wouldn’t try to harm or plot against Amelie. In the end, Eugene was speechless.

Leo was in a dire situation, and he lost his fiancée, but he still had the mood to talk about Amelie’s friend.

Just as expected, his boss’ world was something normal people couldn’t understand.

“Miss Dillon is… married.” He couldn’t help but remind Leo.

Leo snorted. “If Amelie really did get married, with Julia’s personality, why would she not want to reveal the person’s identity at all? There must be a reason behind this.”

Eugene fell silent, thinking he had underestimated his boss. No matter his circumstances, Leo was always wise and perceptive. He would never fail.

“Even if she did get married, a man like that might not pose a threat to me either.” Eugene was deep in thought when Leo’s voice sounded again.

Eugene was so startled by the statement that he began coughing violently. She’s married, but her husband wouldn’t be a threat to him? How does his mind work?

Eugene didn’t dare voice his thoughts, so he could only cough in succession. Leo ignored Eugene’s coughs as he fell into deep thought.

Ever since the sudden release of the news last night, he had been suspecting that this was a feint from Amelie. She’s trying to trick me. I know it for sure. Does she dislike me so much?

The answer was naturally yes. Leo put a hand on his chest as he lowered his head, succumbing to fate.

Even if she did hate him, he deserved it! But no matter how much she hated him, he would never give up on her.

Even if she did get married, he would pull her out of the grave of marriage. Right now, he was more bothered about the boss of Starlight Media.

That man must have feelings for Amelie, which was why he agreed to release such news.

At the thought of another man setting sights on Amelie, Leo instantly felt uneasy. He frowned once again before demanding, “How’s the investigation going?”

Eugene was bewildered for a moment before he realized what Leo was asking about. He hastily reported, “Still no news from Victor.”

The night before, or more accurately, that exact morning, Leo had woken him up to investigate some matters.

Eugene couldn’t help but yawn in secret. Leo was probably pursuing his budding love like a young man, for he was especially intent on getting people to do things for him.

While Eugene was thinking, his phone rang. He looked at his phone, then his eyes lit up. “It’s a call from Victor.”

He had just finished speaking when someone took his phone away. His phone was now pressing against Leo’s ear.

“Speak!” Leo demanded curtly.
