When I Was A Wallflower

The situation gave Melissa a headache. Now that Jodie was bugging her, she felt like she was about to explode from frustration. "You brought this upon yourself, so why are you asking for my help?"

"Are you still my mother? How can you not care about my situation?!" Jodie shrieked.

Melissa was in a sticky situation herself, so she didn't have the spare time to care about Jodie. Seeing that Jodie couldn't deal with it on her own, she felt her head throb.

"You are twenty-five years old, Jodie. You are a grown-up. I can't decide everything for you anymore. You should think on your own."

Jodie was mad at Melissa's dispassionate response. "What else can I think about? I was having a great time and didn't cause trouble. However, this happened! Did you offend someone, Mom?" Although Jodie wasn't smart, she was at least good at making wild guesses.

When Melissa heard her words, she was embarrassed. However, she denied it, saying, "Don't you dare talk nonsense about me! How can I possibly cause any trouble? Moreover, this is our family affairs, and only a few people know about it. Now that it was being mentioned, it was clear that someone was behind this!"

At that moment, Jodie thought about a specific person. "Amelie!" she cried out. "It must be her! It can only be her! She did this because she wanted to take revenge on us and hold on to Leo!"

Jodie could only think of Amelie since Elyse was dead, and Ellen was a madwoman who knew nothing about the Alston Family's affairs.

Melissa was thinking the same thing too.

"This woman! I never expected that she would act in such a way when she used to be kind in our house! Why hasn't she thought about how unworthy she is? Not only did she not deserve Leo, she even took the initiative to get a divorce. However, she is acting as a victim in this story! This is just horrible!" Melissa was venting her anger.
