Chase Her Away
Amelie staggered and fell to the ground by a push. When she raised her head, she saw an angry
expression on a youthful face.
It was Jodie!
“What are you doing, Miss Alston?!” Amelie questioned her while rubbing her arm that had been
gripped.
Jodie’s delicate face was now distorted. “Amelie Dillon, did you really think I’ve agreed to your
remarriage after I told you that you could remarry my brother? To tell you the truth, I did it just to
provoke Elyse. Quit dreaming!”
Amelie was already aware of that, so she naturally wouldn’t dream about it. She parted her lips and
smiled coldly, “Did you forget I rejected your offer, Miss Alston?”
“Then, explain why are you holding on to the child who belongs to our family?” Jodie cast her a look
that seemed to say, I don’t believe you. “There is simply nothing going on between you and the boss of
Starlight Media. We know you do not want to let go of the child because you’re trying to get my brother
to remarry you for the sake of the child!”
“If you had told me honestly that you liked my brother, I would’ve thought highly of you, but now, you’re
trying to act noble but secretly plotting something. How disgusting!”
Watching her huffing in anger, Amelie couldn’t help pinching her brows.
Leo had let it go already, so why was Jodie still holding on to this matter?
“There’s one million here. A woman like you will never be able to earn this amount in your entire life!
Take the money and give me the child!” Jodie threw a check on her chest.
Amelie lowered her head and glanced at the check. It was really one million written on it. Did she just
boast about a mere one million? How ridiculous.
She pursed her lips and waved the ticket between two fingers without showing any hint of sarcasm.
“What if I say no?”
“You’re a stubborn one, huh?!”
Jodie waved her hand and ordered, “Lock her up!”
Immediately, four tall and burly men stepped forward.
The men inched closer and closer toward Amelie.
They were obviously trying to force her to hand Bria to them!
Amelie’s expression twisted a little. She stretched her wrists and was about to fight back.
Before she could move, however, a loud bang was heard.
One of the four men was instantly knocked down.
The man moved so fast that Jodie didn’t even notice how he launched the attack.
She stared at the intruder angrily and was about to scold him when she noticed who the man was. At
the same time, Amelie also realized who it was.
It was that signature bright and handsome face.
“Toby?” Jodie called out to him.
The rest of the three men were about to attack Toby but halted when she called his name.
Toby rubbed his wrists and glanced at Amelie to make sure she wasn’t hurt before turning back to
Jodie. “Have you never considered the possibility of being captured by paparazzi bullying someone in
broad daylight? Aren’t you afraid of humiliating the Alston Family?”
“I—” Jodie suddenly flushed.
She looked around anxiously as she had been too infuriated earlier that she forgot about her pride.
“Who told that b*tch to be so stubborn and insist on going against me?!” she growled in displeasure.
Toby grabbed the check from Amelie’s hands and pulled Jodie’s hand over so that he could place the
check into her palm. “No matter for what reason, attacking someone physically is wrong. I’m sure your
brother wouldn’t want to see you behaving like this.”
At the mention of Leo, Jodie looked intimidated.
To be frank, she was quite afraid of her brother, but the fact that Amelie provoked her made her feel
extremely uneasy. “Anyway, I will never give her the chance to entangle with my brother!”
“Miss Alston, if my statement wasn’t clear before, let me express my stance solemnly once again to
you. I am not interested in your brother.” Amelie’s gaze was intimidating as she added, “Should I sign
an IOU?”
Without waiting for Jodie’s response, she pulled out a piece of paper and a pen to scribble on it.
After a while, she stuffed the paper into Jodie’s hands. “Open your eyes wide and look at this! It’s got
my signature on it. If I violate the conditions on it, you may make it public in the upper-class society.”
Jodie felt a little surprised, but she still took the paper and smirked in contentment.
Nevertheless, she was not ready to let Amelie go just yet. “Bria belongs to our family. No matter what,
she must return to our house!”
“Jodie, Bria’s custody should be decided between Elie and your brother. What if your brother gets upset
because you took the liberty to decide for him? Do you want to make him send you abroad?” Toby
couldn’t help but interrupted.
“No!” In response, she shook her head at Toby. My life is great. Leaving the country means I’ll have to
suffer! Who would want that?
Without debating further, she left with the IOU.
Only then did Amelie turn to look at Toby and say, “Thanks, Mr. Walsh.”
Toby looked at her affectionately and smiled. “I know you could’ve easily chased her away if you
wanted to. I was just being nosy.”
“No. You helped me out big time,” she replied sincerely.
“If you say so, why don’t you treat me to a meal?”
Amelie was startled for a moment before looking at him. She didn’t expect him to come up with such a
request.
“Sure.” Anyhow, she still agreed to it.
With that, the two left for the restaurant.
“I heard that you’re planning to leave,” Toby asked gently as they walked.
In fact, he purposely came to see her because Steven mentioned that she was going to leave.
Amelie was taken aback by his question, but she knew how close he was with her father, so she
nodded without any hint of surprise.
“Are you… not planning to come back anymore?”
“Nope. I’ll live in another city.”
“Live… in another city?” Toby repeated in a somewhat melancholic way. She’s not gonna tell me where
exactly if she moves to another city. Does that mean I wouldn’t be able to see her anymore?
Before they knew it, the two arrived at the restaurant.
Perhaps due to that, Toby seemed a little quiet. He didn’t speak much when they sat at the table.
Since Amelie was also a quiet person, the two simply ordered some dishes.
After their orders were taken, lo and behold, two figures came in from the entrance.
One man and one woman. One short and one tall.
The man’s height was towering, his expression was cold, and his features resembled a painting.
As for the woman, she was a head-turner with an alluring face and a sylphlike figure.
They were Leo and Elyse.
Amelie sighed quietly. She couldn’t believe she would bump into these two!
Turning her head away, she pretended to not notice them.
On the other hand, Toby had his eyes lowered all this while, so he failed to notice them.
Conversely, Leo’s gaze was like a torch that shone on them.
His gaze patrolled back and forth between them. It was as if he wanted to see if something fishy was
going on between them.
His feet also propelled him toward Amelie and Toby.
“Leo.” Elyse clutched his arm in a hurry and urged him, “Mr. Hampton is waiting for us.”
Leo halted in his footsteps upon hearing that as she hurriedly led him in the opposite direction.
Only after they were a distance away from Amelie did Elyse sigh in relief.
At the same time, she couldn’t help glancing at Leo. His dark orbs were currently dark, and his
expression looked as if the calm before the storm. Elyse felt her heart race nervously!
In fact, Leo knew Amelie had noticed him. He also caught how she avoided looking at him.
She avoided him as if he was a tsunami or a monster!
Was he that intimidating?
The more she thought about that, the more uncomfortable he felt. Suddenly, he recalled how she told
him she was going to leave the city.
Initially, he thought she left because of Bria, but now, he came to a sudden realization that the main
purpose of her departure was to completely sever ties with him.
Due to that, he felt depressed.
Under the sleeves of his shirt, he clenched his fists.
Walking beside him, Elyse took in all his subtle expressions and she too clenched her fists.
However, she quickly showed him a smile and turned to lean her head on him. “Toby and Miss Dillon
seemed rather close earlier. They must be in an unusual relationship.”
Her words were like a match that dropped into a bucket of gasoline. Following the crackling sound, the
discomfort lying at the bottom of Leo’s heart exploded!
Leo halted in his steps abruptly.
