A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 102 Did You Fall for Me?

“I know you don’t like Amelie. She’s an ungrateful woman, so she isn’t qualified to get married into our family, but regardless of that, we must take the child back!” Melissa announced firmly.

Jodie nodded in agreement. “You must bring me back my pride, Leo!”

Without responding, Leo turned around and left the room.

Watching his anxious back, Melissa and Jodie sighed in relief.

Honestly, the two of them didn’t fancy Bria at all. They merely treated her as the daughter of a b*tch like Amelie. However, she was a part of their family, after all. Hence, she should stay with them.

“By the way, Mom, I heard some strange rumors recently saying that Amelie is very powerful. Someone has seen her in some racetrack.” Since Jodie was always out all day, she learned about rumors this way. She shared with Melissa what she heard today.

“I even heard some saying that Leo’s recent contract with a big boss from Skaynia has something to do with her. Do you think it’s credible?”

At the mention of that, Melissa snickered in disdain. “Amelie stayed with us for four years previously. Don’t you know what kind of person she is?”

Jodie brushed her hair as she recalled her memories. She was initially agitated and uncomfortable after hearing those rumors, but she felt relieved when she remembered how transient Amelie was back when she stayed in Alston Residence.

“That’s true. If Amelie was really powerful, she would have flaunted it in front of us long ago. Perhaps the rumors are just a trick she set up to deceive us and force us to look up to her!”

“With her ability, I reckon she can only rely on that beauty called Julia White for a short time. Once she leaves Julia, she will be nothing!” Melissa scrunched her brows in distaste, obviously despising the idea of engaging in a topic about Amelie. Turning around, she went back to the couch and drank her collagen drink.

When Jodie heard the mention of Julia, she instantly recalled the offer Julia made to her about taking her in as an anchor in Starlight Media.

What a great opportunity!

She wondered if Julia was being sincere or if she was just trying to piss Elyse off!

Since Jodie was a major in mass communication, she was well aware of the status of an anchor.

Many entrepreneurs looked up to a capable anchor, let alone their status.

These days, many celebrities would change their careers to be anchors.

If she could become someone like Julia White and be recognized and even looked up to wherever she went, wasn’t it better than being a star?

Most importantly, Blake Gareth belonged to Starlight Media!
