My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 24 Divorced on the Same Day

At the Alston Residence, the atmosphere in the room was quite tense.

Melissa shoved her phone toward Leo. “Just what is going on with this? Did Amelie not break up a family? Was it a proper relationship this whole time?”

A deep frown marred his pale face.

Bria had been kicking up a fuss the entire time. Due to spending his whole night calming her down, he was exhausted.

However, before he could even catch his breath, Melissa came rushing over with the news.

The president of Starlight Media had waited for a whole day and night before posting a notice early in the morning to announce his status as a divorcee.

He had posted a photo of the divorce certificate, and the date was the same as his and Amelie’s divorce.

There was only one obvious reason he did that.

It was to prove that he was allowed to date anyone he liked.

And that he was free to do as he pleased!

Meanwhile, everything Leo had said the other day was considered as poking his nose in their business.

It was seen as meddling!

Then, the TV program seemed to be trying to anger him as the recording of his lecture to Amelie was played over and over again.

“No.” Leo had swiftly answered. “It is not Elyse’s fault.”

“I have a word of advice for that woman; you are young and healthy. There are plenty of ways to earn a living. Being a homewrecker is the most foolish and risky path. It is best to avoid it.”

Every one of those words was like a slap to his face.

Over and over again…

At a loss for words, he pursed his lips and remained silent.

However, his silence worried Melissa more.

“If Starlight Media’s president really wanted to clear the air, he should have spoken up the moment the news broke yesterday,” she said. “But he waited the whole night. He only posted the announcement after you said that!”

“What else could he mean by that? Isn’t it clear he is embarrassing us for Amelie’s sake?”

“How very manipulative of that woman! She asked for a divorce, and now she has done all this just to humiliate us. Just what does she want?”

“Leo, do not have mercy on her. Talk to Starlight Media’s owner right now and expose her!”
