“Miss Dillon?”

When Amelie arrived at the riverside opposite Starlight Media, she was stopped by a young lady. Then, she nodded without saying anything and glanced at the familiar figure not far away. Even though the other person was only a few feet away, she could sense an air of superiority emanating from that other person, which made her uneasy.

Melissa eventually turned around but did not meet her gaze, and there was a hint of displeasure on her face. It was an expression of dismay at Amelie’s lack of respect for her. As was her custom, she conveyed her emotions solely through her facial expression without further explanation. Simply lowering her gaze, she could make anyone feel small and vulnerable.

On the other hand, after hearing Melissa’s remarks, she was no longer in the mood to make such a declaration. While that statement would be a slap in the face to Melissa and the Alstons, it would also give the impression that she had not moved on. Furthermore, it would imply that she could not detach herself from that deceitful family, which would be like
