When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

both angry and heartbroken. She was also in the live broadcast just now and witnessed Jodie hurt Bria

with her own eyes!

Amelie approached step by step, her eyes terribly dark. Jodie felt guilty and wanted to step back.

However, her hands were held behind her and she could not move at all.

Amelie could not control her emotions as she grabbed Jodie’s collar.

“If I slap you, can I say that I’m just educating my former sister-in-law? Abuse is abuse, and it’s against

the law no matter what the purpose is!”

If it were not for Leila restraining Amelie from behind, her hand would have fallen on Jodie.

“Miss Dillon, go see the child first.”

Leila knew that Amelie attached great importance to Bria. At that moment, the former was afraid that

Amelie’s impulsiveness would cause trouble and give Melissa an opportunity to take Bria away, so she

tried to persuade Amelie. Only then did Amelie let go of Jodie.

“Mommy.” Bria ran over and plunged into Amelie’s arms. The way her mother looked at her aunt was

terrifying but she knew that her mother wanted to protect her.

Amelie hugged Bria tightly, and when she saw the blue and purple marks on Bria’s little face, she felt so

distressed that her heart nearly shattered. She could no longer let Bria have any connection with the

Alston Family.

Seeing that Amelie was about to take Bria away, Melissa quickly stopped her. “Officers, this is actually a

family affair. Although the child’s aunt acted a little impulsively, it was all because the child was ignorant

and broke an expensive vase. Let us solve this in private.”

The police looked at Melissa and then at Amelie. After all, it indeed was a family affair. But if Amelie was

not willing to let it go, it would be hard for them to withdraw.

Melissa was aware of that. Hence, she walked over to Amelie. “Let’s talk.”

Amelie was reluctant to let go of Bria, so Leila came over. “I’ll hold Bria for you while you have a good

chat with Mrs. Alston.”

Although she heard that Amelie had been getting close to Starlight Media recently, who could tell what

would happen in the future? Right now, it was best not to offend the Alston Family.

Amelie knew what Leila was thinking. She then followed Melissa to the side hall.

“How much is the loss today? I will compensate according to the market value.”

When they arrived at the side hall, Amelie was the first to speak.

Melissa snorted at her, looking at Amelie with eyes filled with reproach. “Is that how you educate your

child? Is it okay for her to just smash things worth tens of thousands without any care in the world? Is it

okay for her to expose her own grandmother and aunt like that? Such a child will develop badly and

plunge society into chaos! Amelie, the facts show that you don’t know how to raise children at all! Bria

will only become worse if she stays with you! Instead of regretting it in the future, it’s better to plan for her

now.”

“The plan you’re talking about is to keep her at the Alston Residence, right?” Amelie answered bluntly.

Melissa did not answer, showing her silent agreement.

Then, a sneer floated upon Amelie’s face.

“Bria’s behavior just now was indeed unacceptable, but why did she do it? She was brought in yesterday,

but why did she break the vases today and not yesterday? I just saw that she has a lot of blue and purple

marks on her body. She must have been beaten. What do you expect her to do? Does she really have to

obey and do nothing when she is beaten?”

With just a few words, Amelie silenced Melissa. Melissa frowned and was finally willing to look at Amelie.

This ex-daughter-in-law had completely changed since the divorce. How could this be?

“What do you mean by being beaten? Jodie is her aunt. If Bria has done something wrong, she should

be educated!”

Melissa quickly continued, “If you had not made a big deal out of it, it would not have been like this! Don’t

think that I will give up the custody of Bria just because you instigated Bria to use the live broadcast to

force my hand. That is impossible! Amelie, if you insist on taking Bria away, I will not help you cover up

the fact that you’re a bad mother! The boss of Starlight Media is not an ordinary person. He should care

more about children’s education than ordinary people. Do you think he will want a woman who teaches

children to become extremely dangerous individuals as his wife?”

Amelie had to admit that Melissa’s ability to bullsh*t and force people to submit was really brilliant. If

Amelie had really hooked up with a wealthy man, she would definitely be frightened.

“Grandma, don’t blame Mommy! What happened just now was my own idea; it has nothing to do with

her!” Bria ran in suddenly, stood in front of Amelie, and blocked Amelie with her small body.

“My teacher taught me that if someone does something unreasonable, even if they’re adults, we have to

resist! Grandma, you and Aunt Jodie locked me up and would not let me see my mother; that was

unreasonable!”

Seeing Bria’s heart-warming little gesture, Amelie felt relieved for a while. She lowered herself and patted

Bria’s little shoulder. “Bria, don’t be afraid. I’ll take you home after talking with your grandmother. Go and

be with Miss Potts for a while.”

Bria was a little worried, but she went out obediently.

“How much do you want to give up Bria’s custody?” Melissa repeated the old trick.

Amelie curved her lips. “Since you’re so willing to give, Mrs. Alston, I want all of the Alston Family’s

assets.”
