When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 131

Outside the building, Jodie was crying by the car. “I swear to God, Leo, Amelie set this up just to make me look bad. It was obvious that she wanted to humiliate me when she asked Bria to sing on stage. Not only did she humiliate me, but she even humiliated the Alston Family and you!”

When Elyse saw them talking, she stopped walking and gave them space to talk. At the same time, she was looking at Leo’s expression, not wanting to miss his emotions.

She caught sight of Leo pursing his lips as he stood there. “How could she have humiliated you if you did not show up?” he said while looking at her profoundly.

“Why are you helping her, Leo?” Jodie stomped her feet and looked unhappy.

When Leo heard her words, his face turned cold and serious. “Did you come here to pick a bone with her?”

“I…” Seeing that Leo had realized her plan, Jodie was pale in the face as she clutched her dress. Then, she found an excuse and said, “That’s because I don’t like her. Ever since you guys divorced, she and Starlight Media have been going against us. Now, everyone in Clouson City is saying that we mistreated her; some even claim that you made the wrong choice. I’m doing all of this for you, Leo.”

“I don’t need your help with anything!” Leo cut her off sternly. “From today onward, you are not allowed to

leave the house and go elsewhere!” Then, he ordered the driver. “Take Miss Jodie home and ask Mrs. Alston to keep an eye on her!”

“Leo!” Seeing that Leo was persistent, Jodie was anxious. However, he was more of a father figure to her than a brother. Hence, she didn’t dare fight back and could only get into the car.

Then, the driver started the car and drove off. On the other hand, Leo stood in place without moving.

Seeing that he looked alone, Elyse lowered her hands which were perfectly manicured. She didn’t say much as she slowly walked up to him. “Jodie is young and full of pride, so she might not think things through before she acts. You shouldn’t be so stern with her when she’s already embarrassed.”

Then, she sighed and wrapped her arms around Leo. “I know I shouldn’t be saying this, but I still want you to know about my opinion, Leony. Bria is still a child, yet she was being arranged to perform in front of adults. This is bad. I know that Miss Dillion might have wanted to advertise Starlight Media through this opportunity. but a child should act as one; she shouldn’t be a tool used by adults. Moreover, Bria live streams. Wouldn’t her life be affected if she were introduced to this platform at such an early age? Children are the future of a family. As a parent, we should think thoroughly before deciding what path they should take. If Miss Dillion doesn’t treat her well, I can quit my job and take care of Bria!”

spoke, she raised her head and looked at Leo. Her eyes were filled with devotion, and she was willing to make sacrifices for Leo and Bria. “Don’t worry, Leony. I will treat her as my own. To be honest, Ashton’s words made me think that a child
