My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 241-245

Chapter 241
Ashton could barely walk straight after being roughed up.Seeing this, Chris had no choice but to support him.Even though he wanted to send Ashton home, he couldn’t help turning around to look at the other two men before his eyes darted in Amelie’s direction.They’re acting weird tonight… What if something happens to Amelie after I leave?“You should take him away,” Amelie told him calmly.Chris couldn’t possibly say anything else when Amelie herself told him to go with Ashton.With a screech, he drove off into the night after he carried Ashton into his car.“Are you okay?” Toby returned to looking gentle as he reached out to hold on to Amelie.He had the fright of his life because of what happened earlier.Noticing that he was about to grab her, she ducked to the side, only for her hand to fall into another big palm.The hand smoothly caught her hand and held it tight.She was taken aback at first but when she turned her head, she was greeted by the sight of an expressionless Leo.She would have thought that it was someone else if she hadn’t seen him reaching out to her.Her not letting Toby hold her didn’t mean that she was permitting Leo to do so.She didn’t even hesitate and was about to pull her arm away.“Bria’s looking for you,” he suddenly brought up.Bria was Amelie’s lifeline. As expected, Amelie stopped struggling at the mention of the child’s name. “When did you go see her?”Leo didn’t answer her and only pulled her away from the racetracks.A small head suddenly perked up from Leo’s car before a hand appeared and waved. “Mommy!”Speak of the devil.“Bria? What are you doing here?” Amelie pulled away from Leo’s grip and ran to the girl.Leo didn’t stop her this time.Bria immediately reached out and threw herself into Amelie’s arms, rubbing against her like a kitten. “I woke up and didn’t see you, Mommy. I was so scared. Daddy said he could bring me to see you!”She then quietly blinked at Amelie. She didn’t tell Amelie why Leo went to their home or how she was taken away through Steven.“I’m sorry.” Amelie didn’t have time to tell Bria about her plans because the child had gone to bed early.“Mommy, you were amazing! I want to go vroom-vroom too when I grow up!” Bria articulated each word with precision.She thought Amelie was impressive when she saw her car flying in the air earlier.Amelie patted the child’s head. “I’m professionally trained. You can’t do what I did like it’s a game, okay, Bria? It’s very dangerous.”With the child’s limited ability to comprehend things, Amelie

was afraid that Bria would imitate her actions.Bria gave a hum in reply while she rubbed her eyes.She was very, very sleepy. In order to wait for her Daddy to bring her to Mommy, she had been struggling to put off sleep.When Amelie noticed her drowsiness, she caressed Bria’s soft and fluffy hair before turning to look at Toby, “Mr. Walsh, my daughter is sleepy. We’ll be leaving now.”She then picked up Bria and carried the girl to her car.“She can’t lie down in your car. It’s too narrow for her to feel comfortable.” Leo stopped her out loud.After saying that, he opened the backdoor of his car.“I want to ride in Daddy’s car.” Bria nuzzled her face in Amelie’s embrace. “Daddy’s car has a little princess bed.”Amelie wouldn’t have cared under normal circumstances but when it came to Bria, she had to think more about it.Seeing how stubborn Bria was about it, Amelie said nothing while she turned around and entered the car with her head lowered.Leo pressed his broad palm on Amelie’s back, giving her proper support.Toby silently watched every move. Leo’s support might look like he was helping Amelie into the car but in fact, he was staking his claim.Leony, have you really fallen for her? Amelie only noticed the additional child safety seat in Leo’s car after hopping into the car.It was a pink chair that had turned into a sleeping basket. There were blankets and pillows inside.There was even a small canopy hanging over it.It looked like a mini bed for a princess.Bria crawled into the basket and comfortably smacked her lips together, two of her fingers pointing at her belly. Amelie quickly buckled Bria in when she understood what the child wanted.Only then did Bria feel at ease and close her eyes.“Mommy, I’d like a bedtime story, please,” she mumbled.Amelie thought for a while. She then took out her phone and pressed into a story app before slowly reading the story on it.Leo, who was in the passenger seat, signaled the driver to turn off the music from the radio.The car was filled with Amelie’s soft yet compelling voice at that instant.An hour later, the car drove into a residential area and stopped at the building where Amelie lived.“Thanks,” she politely uttered and lowered her torso to carry Bria.However, the driver was even quicker than her as he took Bria first and strode to the building.Amelie didn’t say anything and followed after him. She opened the door for the driver and started to go upstairs with him when the door suddenly closed in her face.She didn’t even notice that a big hand was pressing the door shut from above her head.“Why did Toby hit Ashton?” Leo pressed the door with one hand and left his other arm hanging by the side of his body.Their distance was suddenly

closed when he lowered his torso and leaned in toward her.She could even feel his erratic breath fanning her face.“How am I supposed to know the answer to that?” she asked in return, her expression innocent.It was true that she didn’t know.She was at a loss as well when Toby started beating up Ashton.“They probably have some kind of personal grudge between them.” This was the only possibility she could think of.Despite hearing her answer, Leo didn’t step backward. He continued to gaze at her with dark eyes, looking as though he wanted to see through her.There was something different about his eyes. It was like a stone pressing on her chest, or more like an invisible steel surrounding her.Even breathing became difficult for her.Leo insisted again, “Toby has never enjoyed making enemies.”“Do you want me to admit that he fought because of me, Mr. Alston?” She was cornered by him at this point. “If that is what you want, I’ll agree with whatever you think.”She didn’t want to waste her time on him.“Also,” she added, “will you please let me know before you take Bria away in the future?”Her heart couldn’t take it. He had brought the child away without saying anything more than once now.“Bria likes me.” Leo gave an irrelevant answer.Seeing how she was rendered speechless, he asked again, “Do you have feelings for Toby?”Tonight, he has more questions than usual. During our four years of marriage, he has never asked me questions more than he is doing tonight.“It is none of your business, is it, Mr. Alston?” Even if Amelie didn’t have feelings for Toby, she didn’t want Leo sticking his nose into her life either.However, her answer made his calm gaze narrow.“Bria is my daughter. I have the right to know the kind of family she will have in the future!”Ah, it’s because of Bria! Amelie quietly laughed at herself. And here I was, overthinking about how he would want to be a part of my life. Thank goodness I didn’t say anything.Amelie was uncomfortable being trapped against the wall by Leo, and she couldn’t help fiddling with some wisps of hair next to her ear. “Don’t worry, Mr. Alston. I have no plans to get married yet.”But that didn’t mean she didn’t like Toby.“You can find out about Toby’s family if you look into it. The Walsh Family can’t accept someone who was married, especially if the partner is an ex-wife from a family they are close with!”How dare he? Amelie fumed.This was not the first time Leo had reminded her how she wasn’t worthy of Toby.Is he still thinking that I want to marry someone wealthy for their money even at this point?Her expression quickly turned cold. “Mr. Alston, you don’t have to worry that I’ll hold on to Mr. Walsh. Also, the Walsh

Family may be unwelcoming of a divorcee from a family they are close with but I, too, don’t like getting involved with the people my ex-husband knows.”Pleased with her words, Leo finally stepped back.Amelie started deriding herself when she saw the satisfied smirk on his face.She thought Leo was afraid that his ex-wife would stick around him.

Chapter 242
Elyse only reached home in the middle of the night.Ashton was the one who secretly picked her up and brought her to the racetrack.However, he was injured and was later brought away by Chris.There were two cars left at the racing grounds, one of which was Amelie’s while the other was Ashton’s… And Elyse didn’t have the key to either one of those cars!Because of that, she had to walk all the way back in the night from the dark place.Her legs even felt like breaking from all that walking.She did call for a cab, but for some reason, she couldn’t get even one to come to pick her up.Much to her frustration, she only realized later that her phone had no signal.Instead of her room, she went to Michael’s as it was nearer.After she pushed the door open, she couldn’t care less about what Michael was doing and she plopped down on a chair.The soreness all over her body made her feel as though she had come back from the dead.Michael was currently feeding Ellen.After all, Ellen was Leo’s savior. He had to take good care of her to continue raking in a steady stream of benefits.“Did something happen?” Michael couldn’t help but ask when he saw his second daughter in such a mess.Hearing that, Elyse turned her face in his direction. She felt the utmost disgust at the sight of Ellen eating a mouthful of food just to drop half of it. Elyse’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together when she complained, “You can’t just coddle her for nothing all day long. She has to do something to prove her worth!”“Look at this dunce. What can she do?” Michael put down the bowl he was holding and sighed.He wanted practical benefits more than Elyse did.“Whether she can be useful or not depends on how you figure out a way to use her. She will be completely useless if you keep dragging this out!” Elyse couldn’t help but think of the secret that was confirmed tonight.Not only was Amelie ‘Big Eyes’, but she was also the cornea donor! The secret was like two hands clutching at Elyse’s throat, taking the breath out of her.She was also well aware that she was doomed if Amelie ever spoke about it.“Drat!” Overwhelmed by frustration, Elyse tore off her high heels and hurled them away.She wanted to use this opportunity to drag Amelie down, but that woman managed to get the car to fly even though she couldn’t see!Just the memory of it was enough to make Elyse cough up blood whenever it came to mind.Why is it so hard to get rid of Amelie Dillon?!Michael didn’t know why she was so angry, but her words reminded him of something. He

nodded and agreed, “You’re right. We can’t get anything from Leo even if we were to take care of this fool our whole lives. I would rather go to Leo myself.”After he said that, he scratched his head.“But I am Ellen’s father, after all. I must maintain my image, or else Leo will see through me. He might not even help us again in the future. How about this? I will talk to Leo about you and have him arrange something for you to do. You can take the chance to become famous again if I hang on to my image of a good father.”Michael was so used to being a liar that he didn’t bother hiding his evil and phony side.Elyse nodded in agreement when she heard what he said.It wouldn’t be a bad idea for them to earn some money before Ellen was exposed. Even if the truth came to light in the future, it would all be on Ellen for lying to everyone. It wouldn’t have anything to do with Elyse.Ellen was the one who wrote the diary. She also gathered the evidence herself. No matter how angry Leo would be, he could only release his anger on Ellen.As for me, I’ll be a rich lady by then and I can get married anytime I want. Even if I don’t get married, I can live a worry-free life.Even though Elyse had made a considerable amount of money in her early years, she spent even more than what she earned. She barely had anything left now.Let alone money, her popularity was hanging by a thread and she was on the verge of being eliminated from the industry. “Variety shows have been pretty profit-making recently. Have him make me appear on the best variety shows.” Elyse had long since set her sights on this path. However, she was not well-known enough for shows to invite her. As such, she was stuck at a dead end.… Starlight Media.“What? That b*tch Elyse used Ashton to set you up? Oh, that little… Is she tired of living?” Julia was so loud that the office she was sitting in was almost blown away.Her face was tense as she looked at Amelie, who was sitting in front of her. “This won’t do. I’m going to get her a*s! That damn woman! She doesn’t think much of me, does she?!”Julia had always been a hasty person. As soon as she mentioned that, she stood up and made a move to go to Elyse.Amelie was leisurely slouched on another chair with her legs propped against the armrest.She grabbed Julia when the latter stomped past her. “There’s no need for that, silly.”“What do you mean?!” Julia was so angry that she could set the whole office on fire. “We never minded her when she went around causing trouble. Even though she laid her hands on Bria, we let her go because Leo handled it. But now she has taken it a step further by trying to get you killed. How can we not do anything about this?!”She picked up the

hammer on her table. “I want to personally smash her head with this!”“You won’t live as well if you really did that.” Amelie used Julia’s arm as leverage to stand up. After she snatched and tossed the hammer aside, she patted Julia’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. This is not the end of it.”She didn’t get involved when Elyse messed with Bria because the woman ended up having her leg broken by Leo.But this… Amelie wanted to seek justice for herself.“Can you help me find out what she’s been up to lately? Since she likes to pick a fight with others, I will do the same for her. ”“Okay!” Julia immediately held up a peace sign and happily hopped away to get someone to investigate.It didn’t take long for her to bring the results of the investigation to Amelie. “This b*tch has recently started getting involved with Leo again. She got a big variety show production through him.”Amelie jolted to a stop when she heard Leo’s name, and she couldn’t help recalling what he said last night.A frown appeared on her face.He and his double standards…He has never stopped helping Elyse even when her true colors are showing up one by one.And me? I didn’t even do anything, but all he does is misunderstand me. He still thinks I’m a gold digger.“Alright. That’s all for now,” Amelie stated coldly. She didn’t even bother to check the name of the variety show.…Elyse sat gracefully on a chair in the green room of ‘Show Your Love’ three days later. Her beautiful face was full of smiles as she rested her fingers on her long and slender neck.A few reporters were originally interviewing other celebrities, but someone finally spotted her and moved over. “Why are you here, Miss Clayton?”Her popularity was not what it used to be. Supposedly, there was no chance for her to join a high-profile program like ‘Show Your Love’. It was inevitable that the reporters grew curious when they saw her.Instead of getting angry, she smiled sweetly. “Take a guess,” she purred.A reporter smirked at her reply. “There are tons of people who would kill to be a part of this show. Could it be that you got in through connections?”She covered her lips and giggled. “You sure know the industry well.”She was admitting that she had someone important backing her up.Her net worth plummeted when she canceled her engagement with Leo before, but her having a big fish supporting her now was undoubtedly big news.The reporters who were interviewing other artists also came over and turned their microphones to Elyse, wanting to know who the important person was.Leo wasn’t the only powerful figure in Clouson City.However, there was only a handful who were influential,
