Melissa gripped Amelie’s hand tightly. “Elie, Jodie did such a stupid thing just because Leony gave you all the shares. She’s already lost her mind, even though you don’t want them. It’s useless even if we advise her. I… I don’t want her to be ruined in this way. Why don’t you do one more thing and return the shares to the Alstons? I know that it’s meddlesome, but Jodie won’t be so upset when she knows about it.”

Amelie became thoughtful. “Do I put Leo as the recipient?”

“Oh, no, just put down my name.” Melissa elaborated, “You know that Leony’s illness will recur. Who knows when he’ll wake up? It’ll be more troublesome if you return them to him. Jodie won’t have any objections if you give them to me, and others won’t dare to say anything either.”

“I’ll think about it,” Amelie answered.

“There’s no need to.” Melissa appeared to be nervous. “You simply need to transfer them to me. After all, you don’t want the shares, do you?”

“That’s true, but it involves a lot of legal technicalities. It’s best to get everything cleared up.”

Melissa did not say much about that after listening to Amelie. She simply said, “I’ll ask around and see if it’s meddlesome. I’ll call you after figuring it all out. Don’t worry. It won’t take up much of your time. I’ll do my best to handle everything and just have you sign it.”

“Okay.”

Amelie noticed the cars parked by the curb as she exited Alston Residence. Eugene and Victor were still there. Eugene had to look after Amelie as per Leo’s orders, and Victor had something else to say.

She asked Eugene to leave first before she got into Victor’s car. He then started the car.
