When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 316

Chapter 316 Depend on Leo

"Oh, right, Mrs. Alston, please stop your son from pursuing Foxy. She's one of my best friends, and she told me early on that she isn't interested in your family at all."

Knowing that Melissa was still hung up about Foxy, Amelie reminded her.

Melissa was so pissed that she snorted. "Who do you think you are to know someone like Foxy? In the end, you're just trying to depend on Leo!"

In Melissa's eyes, Amelie was already lucky enough to get to know Julia. A famous icon like Foxy was someone Amelie could only see in live streams.

"You can depend on Leo if you want, but you have to make it clear to the media right away that everything Foxy said in the live stream was false, and it was something you made up!"

"Hah! So, you think I was the one who said all those, Mrs. Alston?" Something I made up?!

She used to think that Melissa was just a little too proud and cruel, but she realized that this super-wealthy lady also had the ability to spin lies without batting an eye.

Melissa raised her chin and sneered, clearly signifying that she was insistent on this thought. She had never once allowed Amelie to depend on her son. However, at that moment, it wasn't a bad idea to make use of Amelie.

As long as Amelie put in a good word in front of the media, the reputation of Melissa and the Alstons would be saved.

She would think of a way to deal with Amelie later! Amelie watched Melissa's proud behavior, and she had to lift her hand to cover the mocking smile appearing on her lips.

How can I not know what Melissa is thinking?

"Sorry, I won't depend on Leo, but I don't tell lies either. Mrs. Alston, if you feel like you were wrongly accused, you can go ahead and look for evidence to clear your name. As long as the evidence is solid, I won't say another word."

Melissa fell silent because Amelie had forced her into a corner. Without faking anything, it was impossible to find any evidence in their favor.

"Amelie, you're just being shameless and reluctant to let go of Leo! Have more decency!" Melissa was so mad that she no longer cared about her reputation, yelling, "You're so young, but you refuse to do anything, Amelie! You just want to be a parasite!"

The more Melissa talked, the worse her insults were. Amelie originally wanted to ignore her, but when she heard Melissa's words, she couldn't help but frown.

A moment later, she took out her phone and pulled up her income records. "Mrs. Alston, please have a good look at this. I do have income. Aside from other sources, this is a reading platform I started recently. Just the income from this source is enough to provide for me, my father, and Bria."

Melissa lowered her head to look at it.

"Knowlit?"

Even though Melissa wasn't an avid reader, she still heard about this newly established reading platform.

Many wealthy ladies in her social circle even joined the platform's offline training camp to heighten their tastes.

She heard that the training camps had amazingly high standards, and the public was always fighting to get a place in the camps. Even scalpers were invested in the training camps and resold registration spots for the bases, so they were highly sought after.

Wealthy ladies only took up a small percentage of the camp participants; most of the participants were bosses of various huge companies. Some were even important bosses of listed companies. So, Amelie's the one who organizes those camps? How could a useless woman like Amelie actually establish such a high-class platform?

Melissa checked the income records again with her eyes wide like saucers. Amelie's income was more than enough to provide comfortably for her family of three; it wouldn't even be a problem to provide for 1000 families of three!

"H-How can this be?"

Melissa looked at Amelie with bloodshot eyes, as if she had seen a ghost.

"If you doubt the authenticity of the records, Mrs. Alston, you can check with the Industry and Commerce Bureau to see if I'm the legal representative." Amelie put her phone away and asked in a calm voice, "So, can you leave me alone for a while now, Mrs. Alston?"

Melissa was lost for words. Usually, if Amelie dared to chase her away, she would blow up in a fury. But now, her soul seemed to be drained from her body as she made no reaction.

Sometime later, she walked out in a daze. Looking at Melissa's receding figure, Amelie sighed lightly.

"It must be tiring to have the Alstons on your heels all the time."

At the side, Toby walked in with a smile on his never-changing face.

With his signature white casual suit and refreshing smile, his presence seemed to soften the entire world. Amelie looked at him in surprise.

Toby curved his lips into a smile. "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."

"It's okay." It was only then that Amelie shrugged.

Toby knew more than anyone about her unfortunate situation with the Alstons. He was still smiling, and the smile in his eyes deepened when he looked at her. "I have a way of silencing everyone who wants to bother you."

"What is it?" She was intrigued. It would be the best help she could get.

Toby pointed at himself, but Amelie was silent. Seeing her obviously confused expression, Toby chuckled.

"It's easy. Link your identity as Amelie to the boss of Starlight Media, then announce to the public that you are already engaged or even married. As for your identity as Foxy, she can go out with me."

Amelie was speechless.

She did approve of the former part of the plan, for she was the boss of Starlight Media anyway. But going out with Toby…
