My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 16-20

Chapter 16
“You’re divorced! Why do you still talk to her?” Julia said angrily when she knew that Melissa was looking for Amelie. Amelie stared at the phone screen for a while. “Melissa has never been willing to talk to me much. This time, she called in person, so there must be something important. We should meet up with her.” Although Julia was upset, she still sent Amelie to the meeting place. When Amelie walked in, Melissa had already arrived and was sitting on a chair. Seeing Amelie, she lowered her head and took a sip of coffee before saying coldly, “Sit down.” She had this ability of letting Amelie know that the latter was just a lowly animal in front of her by just using her expression without saying even one hostile word. Amelie did not listen to her as she did in the past. Standing some distance away, she said lightly, “Mrs. Alston, just tell me what you want.” Melissa’s brows visibly furrowed, clearly implying that Amelie was rude, but she did not reprimand Amelie and just nodded her chin at the person next to her. “This is my lawyer, Mr. Henry Jute.” Henry stepped out and said, “Miss Dillon, since you and Mr. Alston have divorced, you should also make a decision on the issue of child support.” “The child? She belongs to me; of course, I’m raising her,” Amelie replied without thinking. “Don’t forget that the child is my granddaughter!” Melissa reminded coldly, her drooping eyelids full of disdain for Amelie and her ignorance. 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 after hearing this and walked in. Then, she raised her chin high and waved her phone at them. “Starlight Media invested 200 million to set up a growth fund for Bria, and all her future expenses will come from here. The 200 million will support her until she is 18, and that’s more than enough.” “Um…” There was shock in the lawyer’s eyes. As for Melissa, her look of indifference changed and she suddenly widened her eyes. “Now, Amy has enough financial resources to support Bria, and she spends the most time and effort on Bria, while Bria relies on her the most. Mr. Jute, do you still think there is no chance of winning the court case?” In this case, Amelie had a 100% chance of winning, so Henry looked at Melissa with a bitter face and shook his head. Amelie and Julia were not in the mood to stay and admire Melissa’s face, so they left hand in hand. … “I did not expect that Starlight Media would be willing to give 200 million to support Amelie!” When Melissa got home, she still did not believe it, so she asked Henry to check it out, and found out it was true. At this moment, that dignified look of hers could no longer be sustained, and there were a few cracks on it that revealed what she really felt. “I heard that Julia is only an employee, and the boss of Starlight Media is someone else! Did Amelie hook up with the boss of Starlight Media?” Jodie responded angrily on the side. 200 million was such a large number that only the boss of the company could make such a decision. Thinking of this, she stomped her feet irritably again. “What kind of shit luck does Amelie have? How can she be targeted by so many good men as soon as she gets divorced?” The matter of Blake spending 100 million to buy a diamond tiara for Amelie had not subsided yet, and now Starlight Media’s boss was spending 200 million on Amelie’s daughter! These men had so much wealth. Jodie’s gaze was green with jealousy. If this continued, Amelie’s limelight would overshadow her completely. She was the well-known daughter of the Alston Family, so how could she live if she was stepped on by Amelie whom she did not even care to look at? Jodie was irritable. She hurriedly called her own think tank, Carla Housten. “Hurry up and help me! Find a way to

get rid of that shameless Amelie!” She told Carla everything. “Did you say that she has an affair with the boss of Starlight Media?” On the other side, Carla’s voice revealed joy. “This is really interesting. As far as I know, the owner of Starlight Media got married four years ago, so Amelie is now the homewrecker.” “He’s married?” When Jodie heard this news, the irritability in her heart was swept away, and a new plan popped up in her mind. “Carla, do me a favor…”

Chapter 17
Today was the day to sign the contract. Although Jimmy Goldstein was the representative of the collaboration company, he arrived late at 10.00AM. Not only was he late, but he was also wearing a suspender that held his newborn daughter. “Sorry, I was feeding my daughter, so I came a few minutes late.” Jimmy apologized to those present. Even though he had an apologetic look, there was also pride on his face. After he finished speaking, he put an arm around the baby and picked up the contract with the other hand. Feeling uncomfortable, the child twisted her little body and whimpered. Jimmy immediately put down the contract and patted the little baby’s back to coax her. Leo, who was sitting across from him, looked at him with obvious disgust on his face. “The Goldstein Family is huge. Can’t you afford a nanny?” When Jimmy heard Leo’s words, he was not only not ashamed, but he also looked reproachful. “You have a child too. Can’t you understand my feelings of becoming a father?” His words startled Leo, who did not respond for a long time. Although he became a father, he did not pay much attention to Bria. At the beginning, he was too busy with work and had no time. Later, when the child was older, she would hide every time she saw him. Leo never owed anyone in his life, but he did owe the child. “Well, you and Amelie should not have divorced for the sake of the child.” After signing the contract, Toby could not help but persuade Leo. “The child is yours. She no longer has a family, so who else will be kind to her? Aren’t you afraid that she will become pitiful in the future?” “We’re already divorced; what’s the use of talking about it now?” Leo said sullenly. “Can’t you get back together?” “It’s because she knows they can remarry that Amelie dared to divorce.” Ashton spoke up on the other side. He slammed his phone against the edge of the chair. “Did you not see what that Dillon woman posted on social media? She took the initiative to clarify the relationship with Blake, saying that they are just ordinary friends and that she has been treating him like a younger brother!” Hearing what he said, Toby immediately checked social media. Sure enough, he saw the clarification posted by Amelie through Blake’s social media. “I can assure you that that Dillon woman will find a way to attend the Entrepreneur Dinner tomorrow night. There, she will apologize to Leo and take advantage of the opportunity to propose remarriage.” From Ashton’s point of view, even the scandals with Jamie and

Blake were planned by Amelie in order to agitate Leo and finally remarry Leo. “If she really does this, it’s a good chance.” Toby looked at Leo meaningfully and squeezed his shoulder tightly. “Although she is a bit scheming, she has always been a good woman during the marriage.” … Perhaps because of Ashton’s words, Leo’s best friends came to the Entrepreneur Dinner the next day. In addition to Toby, Jimmy and Ashton, there were two others who deliberately came back from abroad. Sure enough, Amelie really appeared at the venue. Today, she looked pure and lovely. Her white dress came down just enough to cover her knees, and her high heels of the same color complemented her slender and straight legs. As she was slender, she looked willowy and weak like she would be blown away by the wind. The fine makeup on her gorgeous little face was very light, which made her look delicate and fragile as if she needed someone to protect her. Ashton raised his chin disdainfully and said, “I guessed it right! Within 30 seconds, she will definitely look for Leo.” When he said this, the corners of his lips were raised in mockery. As for Leo, he kept drinking with his head down. Although he did not say anything, when he saw Amelie walking toward him, he still gripped the wine glass. Observant people would notice that Elyse was not with him as usual. When those around him saw Amelie approaching him, realization dawned on their faces and they waited to watch the show. Leo raised his chin habitually. He wanted to see what method Amelie would use to repent of her past mistakes! “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Perhaps because of the attire she wore today, Amelie sounded a bit grievous and pitiful when she spoke. Leo snorted coldly. “If you don’t sincerely admit your mistake, you should…” Before he could say the words “go away”, he saw Amelie walk straight past him and went toward another man! She did not come here for me? “Sorry, I was stuck in traffic.” The man facing Amelie looked mature and responsible, but he had an easy-going smile on his face. Everyone was speechless. The man who met Amelie was Samuel Gage. It was none other than Julia’s fiancé. Of course, he was also a good friend of Amelie. The long friendship between the three of them had long surpassed what was ordinary, and they were as close as family. Hence, when the two talked, there was some intimacy between them. Amelie was all looking forward to seeing Samuel, so she did not notice Leo when she came over. The neglected Leo was dumbfounded. “It’s a little noisy here; let’s go elsewhere for a chat,” Samuel said, and the two left together. Although they did not hold hands, the

intimacy between the two was enough to make people wonder about their relationship. Emotion overcame Leo as he clenched his fists tightly, not even knowing that he had broken the wine glass. Only when the glass piece pierced his skin and the pain came did he look down. “Hey, you’re injured!” A pair of hands reached out and held Leo’s hand. “Why are you so careless?”
Chapter 18
It was Elyse. Even after Leo saw Elyse, his mood did not improve. “Why are you here?” “I…” “I’m gonna deal with the wound.” He had no patience at all tonight. Before Elyse finished speaking, he pulled his hand away and strode inside. “Fortunately, you are back. If you don’t come back, I will be driven crazy by Julia.” In a secluded area, Amelie was speechless as she looked at her attire today, which was what Julia forced her to wear. Julia had said she could use this image to evoke the desire to protect of all young men on the scene, and then Amelie could find a man who wanted to protect only her in this life. Samuel naturally knew how rambunctious his woman was behaving behind his back, so there was a helpless smile on the corner of his lips. “Where is she and Bria?” “They’re almost here.” As soon as Amelie’s voice fell, Julia and Bria appeared at the end of the corridor. The sight of Samuel surprised Bria. “Say hello to Mr. Gage,” Amelie said quickly. Bria walked over and grabbed Samuel’s hand. “Hello, Dad.” Amelie was speechless. Samuel probably did not expect to be called ‘Dad’ suddenly, so he was stunned on the spot. Only Julia covered her mouth with a playful smile. “Yes, it’s okay to call him ‘Dad’.” She was now Bria’s godmother, and Samuel was naturally her godfather. “Dad, take me there to play!” Since Julia said that there was nothing wrong with it, Bria believed that she was right as she pointed to the bright light in front of her. Samuel was happy to dote on Bria, so he bent down to pick her up. “Okay, let’s go over there to play.” Amelie did not say anything. Looking at Bria who was successfully led away by Julia, she felt a headache. She was about to chase after Bria when she turned her face and saw Leo beside her. At this moment, Leo’s face was dark, and his eyes were piercing when he stared at Amelie. “Is this how you educate your child? You have her call every man who she sees as her father?” He clearly remembered that Bria also addressed Blake as her father last time. He did not deliberately follow her to watch her and some other man be happy; he was just going to deal with the wound on his hand when he came across this scene by accident. “You misunderstood.” Despite his angry tone, Amelie explained instinctively. “Bria is just—” “If you want to cheapen yourself, you can do so. However, don’t drag your child with you!” Leo rudely interrupted. Amelie came to her senses at this moment. He never believed her, so what was the use of explaining so much? I’ve really

gotten used to the slavery in the Alston Family. A sneer appeared on her face. “Do you know why Bria wants to call every man her father when she sees them? It’s because you never allowed her to call you her father; she longs to have her own father like other children, so she would regard every man who shows kindness to her as her father.” “What nonsense are you talking about? I never disallowed her to call me her father!” Leo looked down on Amelie even more, thinking that she made up such nonsense. Amelie’s smile became desolate. “Have you forgotten? When Bria ran to call you her father, what did you say to her?” Due to a blood infection at birth, Bria’s development was slower than children of the same age in all aspects, and she did not speak until she was almost two years old. When she called out “Daddy” clearly, Amelie was delighted, so she hugged Bria and went to find Leo. However, Bria did not get Leo’s praise when she called out to him. On the contrary, he showed an expression of extreme disgust toward Bria, and told her to “get lost”! Perhaps this memory was too deep because Bria would start trembling whenever she saw Leo, and she would never dare to call him again. The matter had long since passed, but now that Amelie thought about it, she still could not help but feel bad for Bria, making her sad. After Amelie gave this reminder, Leo vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a scene. He was only disgusted by Amelie at the time, and he did not pay attention to what Bria said. “It’s not appropriate for her to call someone else as her father, but Mr. Alston, please reflect on yourself before admonishing others. Since she is not allowed to call you her father, don’t stop her from calling someone else her father!” Restraining her sadness, Amelie spoke sternly. After saying what she wanted to say, she chased in the direction Julia and the others left without a second’s delay. Behind her, Leo’s palm was full of blood, but he could no longer feel the pain. His heart was filled with stones so hard he could not breathe. Julia played with Bria in the bright spotlight area for a while, then she was taken away by Samuel and went back to take the “family punishment”. Although Julia was full of style during her live broadcast and could attract many fans to buy whatever she advertised, as soon as she was in front of Samuel, she became cowardly and obedient like a kitten. Finally, Amelie no longer had to be tricked by Julia. Amelie rubbed her brows and finally heaved a sigh of relief. She was not interested in these so-called Entrepreneur Dinner, and she had no intention of staying after the two left, so she bent over, picked up Bria and went out. Bria had been spending a lot of crazy time with Julia for
