When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 175

“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.

“Come here.” The woman nodded at her and led her to the familiar figure.

“Mrs. Alston, Miss Dillon is here,” the young lady informed.

The woman did not turn around but instead authoritatively waved her hand. So, when the young lady saw that, she lowered her head and retreated.

Meanwhile, Amelie silently watched the woman’s annoying behavior and felt speechless. “Is something the matter, Mrs. Alston?” she inquired directly.

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.

Nevertheless, Amelie still felt oppressed despite being used to her behavior.

“Do you know why I must fight for Bria’s custody, Amelie?” Melissa finally spoke.

Suddenly, Amelie could finally heave a breath. Don’t you get tired of laying the groundwork and putting up a front? My heart goes out to her. “Let’s cut to the chase.” She had never fancied beating around the bush, so she reminded Melissa directly.

However, she knew Amelie would not surrender to her like that, so she stifled her anger and finished her sentence. “Our family owns a huge company, so we can’t tolerate malicious comments from the public.
