My Sugar And Your Spice

Chapter 135

Melissa had always behaved cautiously around Leo over the years, and it had been what felt like forever since

she last lashed out at the young man.

At that, Leo lowered his head and checked Melissa’s phone to find it was none other than the clip of Jodie losing to Bria in a singing match.

“Have you asked Jodie what exactly happened?” Leo asked with slightly furrowed brows.

“Do I even need to?!” Melissa still felt resentful about the way Amelie treated her after divorcing Leo. “This must be Amelie’s handiwork! She put this online to humiliate our family!”

“Starlight Media was celebrating their anniversary that day, and Jodie showed up with an invitation she bought from someone at a high price. She was the one who caused a disturbance at a party she wasn’t invited to.” Leo had only found out about it later as well.

However, Leo’s answer only upset Melissa further. “Even so, Jodie must’ve only gone to congratulate her! She, on the other hand, put Jodie in a humiliating position because of her hatred for our family!”

Her words were so biased and ridiculous that Leo didn’t even want to say anything, and Melissa realized how deeply flawed her caterwaul was after calming down too.

At that, she took a deep breath and said, “Leo, no matter whether Jodie provoked Amelie intentionally or not, Amelie shouldn’t have posted the clip online when she had already humiliated Jodie using Bria. Now, everyone knows how chaotic our family is; a niece provoked and humiliated her aunt. How do you expect Jodie to face the world from now on? Also, what about my dignity?! Back then, you promised I would live a glorious life as long as I stayed out of your business. Shouldn’t you be doing something now that I’m being humiliated?!”

Melissa had been competitive and prideful her whole life, and the issue made her feel so humiliated that she didn’t even work out or do a facial during the day.

“Everyone has their eyes on our family. Who knows how they’re laughing at us now that they not only know that Amelie and we are on bad terms, and the CEO of Starlight Media will also be raising a child of our family! I can overlook everything else, but Bria has to return to us!” Melissa demanded and flipped out with bloodshot eyes, seeing how Leo only rubbed his temples silently the whole time. “I mean it, Leo. I won’t live anymore if you can’t get custody over Bria! It’s on you to decide whether to protect Dillon or fulfill your mother’s wish!”

With that, she turned to the coffee table and slammed a knife against it.

“I’ll talk to Amelie.” The man finally spoke up.
