chapter 308 Tricks From the 80s

"It's Miss Jodie," replied Miss Potts. "She didn't say anything and just started to break things as soon as

she returned. Why don't you go and check on her? If she keeps doing this, the house will be a mess."

Once Melissa heard it was Jodie, she felt at ease and slipped off the bed. She wore her slippers and

draped a wrap around her before walking down the stairs. As soon as she entered the living room, a

glass cup flew toward her feet. It shattered as it hit the marble floor, and the shards went everywhere.

Melissa was terrified when one of the glass shards touched her feet. Then, she looked up and saw

Jodie, who was gritting her teeth as she picked up another item and was going to hurl it to the floor. Her

eyes were filled with hatred, and her face was red. It was obvious that she was drunk.

Seeing that she was drunk, Melissa was furious. "Stop this instance, Jodie!" she barked.

Then, she stomped toward Jodie and snatched the flower vase from her hand.

"You are such a mess! All you do is drink! If you keep up with this act, I will send you abroad tomorrow

and let you live on your own!" Melissa pointed her fingers at Jodie and scolded.

Initially, she wanted to send Jodie abroad to elevate her. However, Jodie refused since she hated

studying and was afraid of hardship. Seeing that she was not fond of the idea, Melissa didn't force her

since she loved the girl very much. However, seeing that Jodie was now drinking and acting like a

madwoman, Melissa felt disappointed.

On the other hand, Jodie was dissatisfied with her words. "I'm already in a terrible mood, Mom! Stop

scaring me!" she shouted, and her breath reeked of alcohol.

Disgust filled Melissa's eyes, and she frowned deeply when she smelled the stench from Jodie.

When Jodie saw Melissa's disgusted look, she was disheartened as she flopped onto the couch. "No

wonder Amelie despises me. After all, even you, my own mother, wish that I was never born. Am I such

a hateful person?" As she spoke, she started to sob.

Curiosity rose in Melissa when she heard her words. "Amelie? What's up with her?"

"What else is there to say about her? To be honest, I don't know what had gotten into her. Just now,

she tried to hit me when I warned her not to get close to Leo!" Jodie hid the fact that she had done

something and merely accused Amelie. "My wrists hurt because of her." As she spoke, she rubbed her

wrists pitifully. "Not only that, she even called Leo and accused me of hurting her!"

When she had parted ways with Amelie, Leo gave her a call and scolded her. Hence, Jodie was upset.

"Now that Leo is on her side, she will soon be back in our family. When that happens, Leo will back her

up, and misery will fall upon us!"

While Jodie blabbered everything out, Melissa was breathing heavily. Her face was filled with anger

and horror.

Leo has never treated me like I am his mother, and Amelie left the Alston Residence with hatred. If she

were to be back, what Jodie said would come to life!

"Is there something wrong with Leo? I thought he used to loathe her. Why is he still mingling around

with the woman?"

"How should I know?!" Jodie was frustrated. "Do you know how much effort and unfairness I put up

with to let him and Foxy be together? Now that my plan is finally on track, Amelie ruined it all!" She

punched the couch hard, seemingly as if she was punching Amelie. Hatred filled her heart.

Hearing her words, Melissa sat on the couch with a grim expression. She was silent as her eyebrows

furrowed deeply.

"Hurry up and think of something, Mom. We can't let Amelie into our family again!" Jodie urged. She

was never smart, so she could only ask Melissa for help when she didn't know what to do.

"Can't you see I'm in thought?" Melissa pushed her away in annoyance.

"If I must say, we should try to make Leo and Foxy have sex. After all, Leo married Amelie for the same

reason." Jodie nagged.

Although she didn't want Foxy to be her sister-in-law, it was better than having Amelie as one. After all,

if Leo were to be with Amelie, Foxy would be fighting over Blake with her, and she didn't want that to

happen.

While Jodie and Melissa were thinking of a plan, they never expected Amelie and Foxy to be the same

person.

Jodie's words tempted Melissa, but she didn't say anything about it. "Alright. It's getting late, so you

should return to your room and rest." Once Jodie walked up the stairs, Melissa took out her phone.

After hesitating for a moment, she dialed a number.

…

When Amelie woke up, she saw a new contact on her WhatsApp. The person had no profile picture or

name, and they only had a generated ID number from the system. Thus, one could tell that it was a

newly registered account at first glance.

The person had sent her two messages; both were quotes from somewhere.

'An apple a day keeps the doctor away.'

'Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.'

Looking at the quotes, Amelie couldn't help but giggle. Such cliché words… It seems like something

only my dad's generation would know.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but recall a famous quote—cash was king. Still, she wondered who

had accepted the person's friend request. Usually, she would have to accept their friend request to add

them as a friend. After giving it some thought, Amelie still couldn't figure out when she had ever

accepted such a person's request.

Initially, she was going to delete the contact. However, she wondered if one of her clients might have

created a new account just for fun.

In the end, Amelie decided to wait for some time before deciding about it.

After she washed up, there was another notification on her phone.

'Have you eaten breakfast yet?' It was the same person.

However, when she checked her phone, she caught sight of Leo's name!

Leo? As in Leo Alston? No way, thought Amelie as she pressed her thumb on the screen. Her eyes

widened as she looked at the nickname. There was no way she'd connect the account with Leo.

Just then, Bria came in with a glass of water. "Here's your water, Mommy," she said while handing it to

her obediently.

"Thank you, Bria." Amelie kissed her on the forehead and drank a mouthful of water.

Bria didn't leave the room and looked at her with sparkling eyes. After some time, her gaze landed on

Amelie's phone. "Dada added you as a friend on WhatsApp. Since you were asleep, I accepted his

friend's request for you."

Pfft! Amelie spat the water onto her phone when she heard Bria's words. If that's the case, is this really

Leo? What is he doing, though? Those quotes… Does he think he's in the 80s or something?

"Don't delete his contact, Mama. He said that he wanted to look at my pictures." Bria pleaded with a

pout.

Since only Amelie's close friends and relatives had her number, she posted plenty of Bria's photos on

this account.

"Our school will be organizing a Thanksgiving party. Daddy will be able to watch me perform even if he

isn't present at school."

When Amelie heard her words, she felt like it was a great idea. After all, she could use this method to

stop seeing Leo more often. "Okay." She nodded without hesitation.

When Bria heard that Amelie had promised not to delete Leo's number, she smiled brightly. Once

Amelie left the room, she quickly sent a voice message to Leo on her digital watch. "Call Dada! I have

completed the mission you gave me!"

Just as Amelie sent Bria to school, she received a call from Mr. Hampton.
