My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 16

“You’re divorced! Why do you still talk to her?” Julia said angrily when she knew that Melissa was looking for Amelie. Amelie stared at the phone screen for a while. “Melissa has never been willing to talk to me much. This time, she called in person, so there must be something important. We should meet up with her.” Although Julia was upset, she still sent Amelie to the meeting place. When Amelie walked in, Melissa had already arrived and was sitting on a chair. Seeing Amelie, she lowered her head and took a sip of coffee before saying coldly, “Sit down.” She had this ability of letting Amelie know that the latter was just a lowly animal in front of her by just using her expression without saying even one hostile word. Amelie did not listen to her as she did in the past. Standing some distance away, she said lightly, “Mrs. Alston, just tell me what you want.” Melissa’s brows visibly furrowed, clearly implying that Amelie was rude, but she did not reprimand Amelie and just nodded her chin at the person next to her. “This is my lawyer, Mr. Henry Jute.” Henry stepped out and said, “Miss Dillon, since you and Mr. Alston have divorced, you should also make a decision on the issue of child support.” “The child? She belongs to me; of course, I’m raising her,” Amelie replied without thinking. “Don’t forget that the child is my granddaughter!” Melissa reminded coldly, her drooping eyelids full of disdain for Amelie and her ignorance. This made Amelie laugh. “Mrs. Alston, it’s rare for you to remember that you have a granddaughter.” Since Bria’s birth, Melissa had never carried her, and every time she saw her, she would put on the same expression she had on now. It was as if Bria was just a pet at home. Amelie’s words obviously offended Melissa’s stature, so Melissa’s face suddenly tightened in anger. However, her expression immediately relaxed again, replaced by a high-minded look. “Bria is the descendant of our Alston Family, and she must stay in the Alston Residence!” “But I’m the closest person to her!” Amelie reminded. “You can ask Bria herself to see if she wants to be with me or with you!” “The child is only three years old, so her opinion is irrelevant.” “Considering the effort of your pregnancy and childbirth, Miss Dillon, Mrs. Alston can give you a fee as compensation. I advise you to accept it as soon as possible. Otherwise, this matter will be brought to court. With your current financial resources, there is no chance of winning the case, Miss Dillon,” the lawyer threatened Amelie. After speaking, heProperty © NôvelDrama.Org.

put a check on the table. Ha! Seeing the number on it, Amelie could not help but laugh. One million! Do they really think I was a surrogate for their wealthy family? Obviously, not only did Melissa come to discuss custody with her, but she also wanted to use this money to humiliate her. “Who said Amy has no financial resources?” Julia was afraid that Amelie would suffer at their hands, so she had been watching from the sidelines. She could not bear it any longer after hearing this and walked in. Then, she raised her chin high and waved her phone at them. “Starlight Media invested 200 million to set up a growth fund for Bria, and all her future expenses will come from here. The 200 million will support her until she is 18, and that’s more than enough.” “Um…” There was shock in the lawyer’s eyes. As for Melissa, her look of indifference changed and she suddenly widened her eyes. “Now, Amy has enough financial resources to support Bria, and she spends the most time and effort on Bria, while Bria relies on her the most. Mr. Jute, do you still think there is no chance of winning the court case?” In this case, Amelie had a 100% chance of winning, so Henry looked at Melissa with a bitter face and shook his head. Amelie and Julia were not in the mood to stay and admire Melissa’s face, so they left hand in hand. … “I did not expect that Starlight Media would be willing to give 200 million to support Amelie!” When Melissa got home, she still did not believe it, so she asked Henry to check it out, and found out it was true. At this moment, that dignified look of hers could no longer be sustained, and there were a few cracks on it that revealed what she really felt. “I heard that Julia is only an employee, and the boss of Starlight Media is someone else! Did Amelie hook up with the boss of Starlight Media?” Jodie responded angrily on the side. 200 million was such a large number that only the boss of the company could make such a decision. Thinking of this, she stomped her feet irritably again. “What kind of shit luck does Amelie have? How can she be targeted by so many good men as soon as she gets divorced?” The matter of Blake spending 100 million to buy a diamond tiara for Amelie had not subsided yet, and now Starlight Media’s boss was spending 200 million on Amelie’s daughter! These men had so much wealth. Jodie’s gaze was green with jealousy. If this continued, Amelie’s limelight would overshadow her completely. She was the well-known daughter of the Alston Family, so how could she live if she was stepped on by Amelie whom she did not even care to look at? Jodie was irritable. She hurriedly called her own think tank, Carla Housten. “Hurry up and help me! Find a way to

get rid of that shameless Amelie!” She told Carla everything. “Did you say that she has an affair with the boss of Starlight Media?” On the other side, Carla’s voice revealed joy. “This is really interesting. As far as I know, the owner of Starlight Media got married four years ago, so Amelie is now the homewrecker.” “He’s married?” When Jodie heard this news, the irritability in her heart was swept away, and a new plan popped up in her mind. “Carla, do me a favor…”
