A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 148

Melissa’s elegant face flinched, and it was apparent that she was unhappy, but she didn’t say anything
and pointed to Henty, who took a step forward and said, “This time, we’re here for the custody of Miss
Brianna again. Miss Dillon, the Alston Family would like her to return to the Alstons to live.”

“Didn’t we already make it clear before this?” Hearing that, Amelie frowned deeply and looked very
much annoyed. When will the Alstons give it up?

“That was in the past when you acted like a mother, at least. Considering that it wasn’t easy for you to
give birth to Bria, we allowed her to be under your care for a while.” Melissa lowered her eyes and
patted the hem of her skitt. Her disregard for Amelie was clear for all to see. “It’s proven now that
you’re unqualified. As a descendant of the Alstons, Bria shouldn’t be wasting her time with you.”

“Unqualified? When did you see that I’ve been an unqualified mother?”

Any excuse would serve a tyrant. However, Melissa’s excuse was simply too far-fetched, and Amelie’s
face turned stone cold as she shot Melissa an icy glare. Her tone wasn’t aggressive, but it was
indifferent and carried some power.

Melissa snorted nonchalantly. “Don’t you know anything about your own embarrassing deeds?”

Tilting her head, Amelie smirked and answered, “I have no idea. Why don’t you point it out for me, Mrs.

Alston?”

Melissa’s brows jumped with fury, but she sniggered as her self-righteous superiority appeared on her
well- maintained face. Instead of answering directly, she lifted her finger and pointed. “Mr. Jute.”

Raising his square and angular face, Henry hurriedly acknowledged her with great politeness.



However, in Amelie’s eyes, he was every bit like a toady, no matter how she looked at him.

After that, Henry balled his hand, placed it in front of his mouth, and cleared his throat. When he faced
Amelie, he no longer seemed like a lackey as he put on a smug look. “Miss Dillon, according to our
investigations, you live a promiscuous private life and have complicated relationships with different
men. This is not beneficial to Miss Brianna. Based on this point, the jury in the court will be in favor of
the Alstons, who will do better for her upbringing. You should send her home first to save yourself the
embarrassment when the time comes.”

However, everything he said sounded like a joke to Amelie. “A promiscuous private life? May I ask,
whom did you hire to carry out the Investigations, Mr. Jute? How did they find out that my private life is
promiscuous and that my relationships with men are complicated?”

As Amelie had grown up as a confident child, she was unaffected by his threats.

Henry started blabbering the same old story, claiming that she must have had something going on
before the

mentioned that she had a dodgy relationship with Jamie and was involved with Blake. He even dragged
Toby

into the picture.

While listening to Henry’s nonsense, Amelie’s pretty face turned from solemn to icy before finally
turning rigid, and she glared at him emotionlessly. “Looks like all you do as a lawyer is talk without
basing on any facts! Both Jamie and Blake have clarified my relationships with them, yet you’re still
spouting nonsense here. If you continue this, I’ll have to sue you for false accusations! As for Toby, why
don’t we ask him over here right now and have a face-to-face confrontation to determine whether we
have any relationship or not?”



Her glare was so intense that it gave Henry, who was more than a decade older than her, a scare, and
he

shuddered silently as a shiver ran down his spine.

Although they had crossed paths before, Julia was always around previously to help Amelie take the
bullet, so Henry didn’t think that Amelie was capable at all. Everything he said earlier was meant to
intimidate her, but he didn’t expect her to be so clear-minded and could react so quickly that she
managed to catch the faults in his claims right after he finished speaking.

He didn’t have the guts to let her invite Toby for real, so he pretended to clear his throat again a couple
of times with his fist in front of his mouth as an awkward look washed over his face.

“Even if all these could be written off, it’s a fact that you have a thing with the boss of Starlight Media.
Since you’re going to date the boss of Starlight Media, why do you want to bring a child with you?
You’re a smart woman, Miss Dillon. You should know that it’d be troublesome to have a child around.

“At the moment, you share a deep relationship with the boss of Starlight Media, so maybe he won’t say
anything, but the days ahead are long, and it will be a bumpy ride. As a divorcee, why would you add
problems to your next relationship? Furthermore, it’s not like you won’t be able to meet Miss Brianna
again after her return to the Alstons. You can always visit her whenever you want. Without going
through the hassle of bringing up a child, you can even protect the bonds between the both of you. So,
why not?”

Henry’s mouth was full of packs of lies. When one saying didn’t work, he immediately switched to
another. This time, he appeared to be speaking from Amelie’s perspective.

This reasoning sounded flawless, and if she weren’t the boss of Starlight Media, she would be bought
in by his words.



“Thanks for your advice, Mr. Jute, but I don’t plan to let anyone else have Bria. In addition, I can
promise that my life won’t be bumpy because of her. On the contrary, it will be even happier,” she said
confidently and waved at him. “So, please return, both of you.”

Seeing that Amelie was not open to either threat or persuasion, Melissa slammed the table loudly, and
her face contorted into an angry scowl.

“Mr. Jute!” she shouted. “I didn’t hire you to talk gibberish here! Get straight to the point!”

Her yelling sent Henty into a fluster, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, “Miss Dillon, we have
reasons

Amelie giggled out loud. “What now, Mr. Jute? I can overlook that you made up stories to snatch Bria,
but I can’t believe you’re accusing me wrongly now.”

“Oh, he didn’t,” Melissa interjected.

Used to seeing Amelie as her timid daughter-in-law, Melissa couldn’t stop herself from interrupting
because Amelie’s current attitude was just like a dull knife cutting into her flesh-painful and agonizing.

As soon as the words left her lips, Henry turned on his phone and passed it to Amelie. “Take a look at it
yourself, Miss Dillon.”

Amelie lowered her head and saw that it was playing a video, and when she saw its content, her face
fell and

turned livid.

That video was none other than a recording of her jumping into a box of eels when she made a bet with
Leo!



“In broad daylight, when people were going around, you jumped into a spot like that without any reason
and even stayed inside for an hour. We can reasonably deduce that there’s something wrong with your
psychological health,” Henry remarked. “You can deny it, Miss Dillon, or even go to a psychiatric
evaluation center to prove your innocence. Nonetheless, this can prove that you’re emotionally
unstable and capable of doing something extreme. It’s unsuitable for Miss Brianna to live with you
under such circumstances.”

A sudden rush of adrenaline pumped through Henry’s veins, making him talk for minutes on end.

However, Amelie didn’t answer right away and clutched her fists quietly.

The only one present at that time was Leo, she recalled. So, he’s the one who recorded this? Did he
actually go this far just to have custody of Bria?

A dull pain reverberated in her chest as though someone had punched her.

“If you’re unfamiliar with the law, you may consult somebody. Just this video alone is enough to make
you lose custody of Miss Brianna, and the Alston Family can even apply to the court to deprive you of
your visitation rights!” Henry’s voice echoed into her ears once again like the voice of the devil. “Rather
than let things get to that point, why don’t we settle this out of court and talk things over? Maybe Mrs.
Alston will give you visitation rights for the sake of Miss Brianna.”
