My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 141

“Nonsense!” It took Melissa quite some time to regain her composure, and she roared, “You’re a

shameless woman who sleeps with all kinds of men. How can you blame what happened to me?”

Sneering, Elyse retorted, “How could you say that? Wasn’t it you who sent that man to me? Your real

intention was to let him tempt me into cheating on Leo so that Leo and I would break up.”

“So what if that’s true? Would you have fallen into my trap if you weren’t such a woman? Don’t forget

that you’ve been eyeing other men before that man ever appeared. Leony is benevolent enough not to

argue with you! You couldn’t resist the temptation, so you can’t blame me for anything!”

“I admit that I couldn’t resist temptations, but what’s gonna happen when Leony finds out that all of this

was his mommy’s plan? Also, what will he think if he knows you were the one who found the man that

he hates the most?”

Those words caused Melissa to become even paler. Her sweaty hands that were by her side clenched

together tightly.

Then, Elyse grabbed Melissa’s hand and acted nice by helping her relax her fingers./Mrs. Alston, I’m

not here to question you about that matter, nor did I come here to settle old scores. I came here to

make a genuine deal with you. If you’re willing to accept my deal, we can establish cooperation and get

what we both want. But if you’re not willing to accept my deal, I’ll leave immediately.”

After saying that, Elyse got up and walked toward the door.

“Wait a minute!”

Just as Elyse arrived at the door and was about to change her shoes, Melissa called for her. “Do you

really have the plan to make Leony willingly fight for the child’s custody?”

“Of course.” Elyse smiled, but her eyes suddenly flashed with a dark light.

Today was the day Amelie would be signing a contract with Toby.

Therefore, Amelie made a rare appearance in the conference room at Starlight Media, where she

decisively signed her name when the secretary handed her the pen and contract.

Following that, she gave the contract to Toby. “Mr. Walsh.”

Toby received the contract and pen but didn’t sign them immediately. Instead, he looked at Amelie.

She was wearing a formal black suit today, accentuating her slim figure.

Also, her hair was tied up, revealing her snowy-white earlobes. She looked clean and had a slightly

aloof demeanor. If one were to use trending words to describe her, it would be “unspoken rizz!”

Although Toby had seen her many times before, the moment he saw her dressed up as the owner of

Starlight Media he couldn’t help but be filled with admiration

He quickly signed his name and reached out to shake her hand. “To be able to be so talented and

achieve such exceptional results in every field, you, Miss Dillon, are the first one I’ve ever met.”

“Your compliment is quite exaggerated.” Amelie smiled and deliberately avoided the gentleness and

obvious fondness in his eyes.

Then, she formally handed the contract to the legal officers. “Well, let’s wish for a happy cooperation.”

“Wish us a happy cooperation.”

Toby had a faint smile on his exquisite face.

Despite knowing he still wasn’t worthy of her, he was still happy to have a chance to talk to her.

He looked down at his watch. “It’s almost noon. Could I have the pleasure of inviting you to lunch?”

Amelie looked down at her watch too. It showed 11.30AM, which was indeed lunchtime.

“Sure.” She nodded. “It’s on me today. Take it as compensation for yesterday.”

Toby didn’t refuse her offer, and the two left one after another.

“Amelie!” Julia came from the corridor. Her high heels clanked against the floor at a fast pace, showing

that she was walking quickly.

Her complexion looked quite bad. She held an iPad in her hand and looked at Toby before nodding at

him apologetically. Then, she pulled Amelie to the side. “Look at this.”

Amelie looked at the iPad, displaying an interview titled, ‘Owner of Starlight Media Makes His First

Appearance-Walking About His Life.’

Below the title was a picture of a middle-aged man in glasses. He was sitting upright on the couch,

seeming quite intelligent. However, the picture was taken from the side, so the man’s features weren’t

quite clear.

“I wonder which scoundrel came up with this Elliot Poole person and said he was the owner of Starlight

Media,” Julia spoke very quickly. “That’s not it. They even spoke about some sensitive topics.”

Then, she skipped past the contents in the beginning, scrolled straight to the middle, and pointed at

one specific sentence. “Look!”

Amelie quickly scanned through it and saw that the article was in an interview format.

‘Host: Mr. Poole, according to what we know, you’ve given Miss Amelie Dillon the authority to manage

Starlight Media’s business matters, which shows how much she means to you. What we’re curious

about is— Are you going to marry Miss Dillon? What kind of family are you looking to form?’

‘Elliot Poole (laughing): Of course, we’re going to get married. The best marriage in my mind is to only

have two people supporting each other.’

‘Host: Are you saying that you don’t want any children?’

no one will disturb our life together. Of course, a child would not matter because there are many ways

where we can arrange for the child to be settled down.’

Host: So, you would consider sending your child to another place to be brought up?’

‘Elliot Poole: We won’t be having a child, and the child we have now will naturally have to stay away

from our lives. In fact, a child without parents can become more independent, which is better for us and

the child. It’s a win-win for all of us.’

‘Host: It seems like you’re a wise man.’

“He’s an imposter and should be put behind bars. I’m calling the cops!” Julia yelled and was about to

walk

away.

Amelie pulled her back and explained while pointing at the date in the picture, “With his capabilities, he

won’t be able to do such a thing, even if he has the guts to do it, there must be someone helping him!

This interview was obviously done last night. Even if you call the cops, he must be in the wind by now.”

When Julia saw it, she roared again, “Damn it! Who the heck hates you so much that they found an

imposter to say such nonsense? What are they trying to do?”

Amelie scrunched her eyebrows because she wasn’t sure why someone would do such a thing either.

“I’m sorry. Elliot Poole is a name I made up.” Just as they were both thinking about this matter,

someone interrupted them.

Both Amelie and Julia turned around and saw Toby standing behind them.

Toby coughed to hide his embarrassment. “I know you don’t want the Alstons to know about your real

identity, so I made up the name Elliot Poole and created some fake information about him. I didn’t

expect someone would take advantage of this and… I’m sorry.”

He did it for Amelie’s sake, but his kind gesture had turned into something bad.

“But both of you can rest assured. I’ll look into this matter immediately.” After Toby said that, he nodded

and left without having lunch.

While watching him leave, Julia shrugged. “He seems to care a lot about you. Do you think he likes

you?”

Without giving any response, Amelie smiled and said, “I think my current lifestyle is great. Work during

the day and family time at night.”

Knowing what she meant, Julia nodded.

If it were someone else, she would have persuaded Amelie to give it a try, but Toby was someone close

to Leo, which made him an unsuitable candidate.

Later, Amelie left after a short conversation with Julia.
