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?

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.”

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.
