This made Amelie laugh. “Mrs. Alston, it’s rare for you to remember that you have a granddaughter.” Since Bria’s birth, Melissa had never carried her, and every time she saw her, she would put on the same expression she had on now. It was as if Bria was just a pet at home. Amelie’s words obviously offended Melissa’s stature, so Melissa’s face suddenly tightened in anger. However, her expression immediately relaxed again, replaced by a high-minded look. “Bria is the descendant of our Alston Family, and she must stay in the Alston Residence!” “But I’m the closest person to her!” Amelie reminded. “You can ask Bria herself to see if she wants to be with me or with you!” “The child is only three years old, so her opinion is irrelevant.” “Considering the effort of your pregnancy and childbirth, Miss Dillon, Mrs. Alston can give you a fee as compensation. I advise you to accept it as soon as possible. Otherwise, this matter will be brought to court. With your current financial resources, there is no chance of winning the case, Miss Dillon,” the lawyer threatened Amelie. After speaking, he put a check on the table. Ha! Seeing the number on it, Amelie could not help but laugh. One million! Do they really think I was a surrogate for their wealthy family? Obviously, not only did Melissa come to discuss custody with her, but she also wanted to use this money to humiliate her. “Who said Amy has no financial resources?” Julia was afraid that Amelie would suffer at their hands, so she had been watching from the sidelines. She could not bear it any longer
