My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 251-255
Chapter 251
“I’ve recorded the whole thing; it’s more integrated than Miss Clayton’s. It even includes our discussion about life and death. So if you don’t mind, Miss Clayton, I’ll show it to everyone now.”Calmly, Amelie fished out her phone and started scrolling.Meanwhile, Elyse looked at Amelie like she was looking at a ghost, fixing her gaze on Amelie’s collar.Did she really fix a camera on her collar that day? When did she do it? Was it after she entered her car?She tried hard to recollect the moment and was certain she didn’t see any cameras. However, when she saw how composed Amelie was looking, she became absolutely terrified, and suddenly, she was certain Amelie had indeed fixed a camera on her collar.She captured the whole thing? Even our discussion about life and death? What discussion about life and death?!The next second, a memory hit her. Amelie had asked why I wanted to kill her. What was my answer? What was it?Elyse wracked her brain but couldn’t find any denial. Yes. She didn’t refute it, which also meant it was a silent admission!If that video gets out, everyone will know that I intended to kill Amelie! I’ll be done for!As though something triggered her nerve, Elyse pounced on Amelie to seize the phone. However, the latter was agile as she slithered her arm through Elyse and raised the phone above her head.“What are you doing, Miss Clayton?” Amelie asked plainly as she fiddled with the phone hanging above her head carelessly.However, Elyse merely continued to shake Amelie’s arm violently, hoping the phone would eventually slip. Yet, it stuck to Amelie’s fingers like a magnet. How exasperating!“Relax, Miss Clayton. I will release the complete clip since you’re so eager to watch it.” Amelie deliberately twisted Elyse’s intention and walked toward the studio.She’s going to play the video on the big screen?!“Don’t!” Elyse stopped Amelie at all costs, scared sh*tless.Of course, Amelie was well-trained in combat, so she could subdue Elyse with just one hand while using the other to connect her phone to the big screen.Now, all she had to do was press the play button, and the truth would be revealed to the public.This might just be the studio, and there weren’t many people, but word of mouth from these people alone was enough to send Elyse to her impending doom.At that, Elyse sneakily turned her live stream off and half-kneeled at Amelie, begging, “I’m sorry, Amelie, please give me another chance!”“What wrong have you done?” Amelie asked with feigned bewilderment while pulling
her up, stopping Elyse from kneeling.“Let’s not argue among ourselves anymore and let the video tell the truth,” Amelie grumbled impatiently, then pressed on her phone.“It’s me! I lied!” Elyse squeezed her eyes shut and forced herself to tell the truth. She couldn’t care about anything else at this point. “I threatened you with your daughter. It was wrong of me.”It was then that Amelie withdrew her finger and gazed at Elyse with an ambiguous smile.Meanwhile, the skelf was flabbergasted, for she began realizing she had been siding with the wrong person the whole time. She had been supporting a goody two shoes?!The director, on the other hand, kept wiping the sweat on his forehead. Thank goodness I hadn’t been too rude, or I’d have offended a big shot.“See, it isn’t so hard to tell the truth, is it?” Amelie patted Elyse’s head like she was patting a dog. “A woman becomes more assertive when she becomes a mother. I’m sorry for attacking you out of haste when you threatened my daughter.”“No, no. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have…” Elyse lifted her head in pain. As infuriated as she was, she dared not reveal a sliver of it.Thank goodness I turned the live stream off in advance, or things will become troublesome if the fans see this.As defeated as Elyse felt, she was also jubilant, for as long as her fans were willing to support her, she would still be able to find other jobs even if she lost her chance with ‘Show Your Love’ after the humiliating event. At that, she sneakily glared daggers at Amelie, only to find the latter waving her phone at her.The screen was directed at her, and she found herself in it.Amelie is… She’s live- streaming?! She live-streamed my confession?!One hundred million people saw her confession… One hundred million people witnessed her misdeed…Elyse’s head buzzed and spun as though someone had given it a violent wham, and she dropped to the ground with a thump.Meanwhile, Amelie turned her live stream off, then helped Elyse up and even thoughtfully patted the dust off her before whispering in her ear, “This is called beating someone at their own game. You taught me this, so you can’t blame me for it.”While Elyse had been rendered stumped, Amelie continued to fix the former’s skirt and straps thoughtfully like they were best friends.Others, on the other hand, said nothing but only watched the scene with stupefaction.It wasn’t finally after she was done fixing Elyse’s outfit that Amelie took a step back and waved her phone while speaking at a volume only the two could hear before turning around. “One more thing. I hadn’t recorded any video at all.”So I’ve been hoodwinked? By Dillon?!“Miss Foxy.” The director hurriedly approached Amelie seeing that she wanted to leave. “I’m
really sorry for just now. I hope you can forgive us and stay in the show.”Though her ultimate purpose was to screw with Elyse, she had also willingly joined the show, so she naturally couldn’t back out halfway. At that, she nodded. “I’ll get myself ready in the green room.”The director thanked the heavens after hearing her words, while the skelf stood behind the director with an ashen face and drooped arms.She hadn’t only sided with the wrong person but even humiliated herself by speaking rudely, and she couldn’t be any more regretful of her actions when everyone was commenting on her behavior.Elyse, who came running, huffing and puffing as a fire burned ablaze beneath her eyes.She was trembling. Her lips, cheeks, lashes, and even eyeballs were trembling.“Why are you doing this to me?!” she growled as tears dripped down her face one after another. “Why do you have to destroy me when I have nothing against you?!”Amelie was washing her hands when she saw Elyse coming in. Even so, she never even batted an eyelid toward the latter as she smirked derisively while gently shaking her hand to remove the excess water before slowly drying them with a towel. “What do you mean by ‘I want to destroy you’? Would I do anything to you if you hadn’t wanted to destroy me?”She was honestly baffled by Elyse’s mindset. It was the young woman who persistently wanted to kill her, yet Elyse now turned around and asked her why she wanted to destroy her?! What am I supposed to do, then? Sit and do nothing while you kill me?Elyse couldn’t stop her body from shaking no matter how, and her fists were clenched tightly on her sides as her face twisted disproportionately.After Amelie dried her hands, she approached Elyse with a nonchalant gaze.It was a very plain gaze, but Elyse still reflexively shuddered, and her anger instantly diminished a large fold.She had genuinely grown traumatized by Amelie’s schemes.“I’m going to ask you one last time. Why do you want me dead?” Amelie questioned.Why?Amelie’s words were like a curse, causing Elyse’s body to tremble and spasm. Her clenched fists suddenly became lifeless, and she couldn’t ball them up again.“I might not have a video recording of that day, but I do have an audio recording of your implied admission to killing me on the racetrack. You’ll only be dead for good if this recording gets to the media. By then, forget about ‘Show Your Love’; no production would even want you even if you ask to join as an extra!” Amelie warned gravely and pulled her phone out to retrieve the recording of the incident.Elyse’s face blanched at once, and cold sweat dripped down her face like rain.
Chapter 252
“N-No reason!” answered Elyse stiffly before dashing away.Meanwhile, Amelie slowly narrowed her eyes as she watched Elyse stagger away. Not even threatening to destroy her career could get her to speak out her reason… Why?“I’m surprised you two have such a long history.”A voice came out of nowhere while Amelie was in deep thought, and she turned around to find Fiona walking toward her with an ambiguous smile.“I was wondering why you want to screw her up. So she nearly killed you, huh? So you have come for vengeance instead of love as you had claimed.”Amelie smiled plainly when she saw it was Fiona, who was the only one who stood up for her when Elyse wanted to screw her up.Hence, she had a pretty good impression of Fiona, despite being unfamiliar with her.“Looks like you’re an inquisitive cat,” commented Amelie as she smiled ambiguously, leading Fiona to shake her head. “It’s not that I’m inquisitive, but that your show is very dramatic. Not even reality TV would dare come up with a script like this. That said, I really hadn’t come to eavesdrop. I overheard you two when I was touching up my makeup.”At that, she extended an arm toward Amelie. “Fiona Shaw, a pleasure to know you.”“Foxy.” Amelie returned the handshake.Following that, the two went out.“Clayton will certainly be kicked out of the show. Who do you think will fill in her spot?” Fiona asked while walking.She had an innate sense of aloofness. It was no wonder she could play the lead role in shows like ‘The Legend of Princess Anastasia’. However, Amelie had no interest in it. “Beats me.”Fiona paused her steps and smiled. “You sure are an interesting one.”At that, she threw her hair back and commented, “Better not be another one who will send my heart racing. Can’t take too much drama when you’re getting on in years, you see.”Fiona actually looked to be about Amelie’s age, yet she claimed to be old. Amelie thought the woman was getting more interesting by the second.Everything had returned to normal by the time they returned to the set, and the other three guests were already in their seats. Notably, the skelf was ashen-faced despite having freshened up.Amelie happened to have noticed the name ‘Lilith Quill’ written on the skelf’s name tag, and it was only then that she remembered the latter shot to fame recently for starring in a social satire drama alongside a veteran actor.In the drama, she was a just and sensible person. But who’d have thought she’d be this muddle-headed in
real life?Lilith lifted her eyelids but ultimately dared not look at Amelie. Amelie didn’t bother herself with Lilith either, and she only greeted the other two guests with a nod as she walked past them.As she was about to sit in the sixth seat, she suddenly noticed someone had already taken up Elyse’s seat, and the young woman exuded haughtiness despite wearing delicate makeup.No, it wasn’t aloofness like Fiona’s but haughtiness.Fiona’s aloofness derived from what society made her to be, but this young woman’s condescension evidently came from her family background. In fact, even her eyes were filled with contempt, and it inexplicably reminded her of her ex-mother-in-law, Melissa.Then again, this young woman had everything to do with Melissa, for they were mother and daughter.Yes, the young woman was the one and only Jodie Alston.Even when Amelie had seen far too many things in life, she still couldn’t help being taken aback to encounter Jodie in such an event.Has the ‘Show Your Love’ production team become so undiscriminating nowadays?Of course, Jodie noticed Amelie too, but because Amelie wore a mask, Jodie didn’t make out who it was. Still, it didn’t stop her from looking up condescendingly.The filming began in two shakes, and the hosts briefly introduced Jodie’s background, but because she didn’t have any prominent achievements, they had no choice but to mention her family, shocking the other guests when they learned that she was Leo’s younger sister.Leo single- handedly held up the Alston Family and turned their family business from being on the verge of shutting down to a leading corporate in just a short few years. The man had long become a legend and a household name in Clouson City. Many were curious about Leo’s private life. However, they couldn’t find anything else other than his somewhat messy relationship with Elyse, no matter how they tried.Meanwhile, behind the cameras, the director nodded pleasingly as he looked at the guests’ reactions. This was precisely what he wanted.Celebrities were everywhere nowadays; it was a wealthy family’s life that people were curious about, and Jodie’s inclusion would guarantee a massive wave of viewership.Though Amelie was also surprised by Jodie’s appearance, she merely stayed to fulfill the contract she had signed and had no intention of causing any kind of ruckus. Hence, she naturally wouldn’t have many ideas.Now, I just have to relax, enjoy myself, and be an accompaniment, mused Amelie as she drooped her eyelids lazily.“I’m sure the audience and our female guests are curious to see who our secret admirers are for the night.” The hosts rambled enthusiastically to build up the
suspense before finally introducing the male guests.The guys would receive a round of applause when each came out, and the hosts would ask them about their crushes. The audience, too, would guess according to the guys’ answers.The first five were actors who had a few acclaimed works in the past couple of years. Hence, the audience responded enthusiastically. Even those watching the live stream were hyped. Comments were coming in one after another at breakneck speed on the live stream portal.“Our next guest isn’t an actor, but he’s also in showbiz. He’s got the looks, the skills, and the perfect set of techniques that leaves hundreds and thousands of young ladies infatuated with him. But young ladies aren’t the only ones crazy about him. Even moms, grandmas, in fact, even dads and grandpas are crazy about him.” The host evidently spent more time and enthusiasm introducing the sixth guest.Following her instigation, everyone grew increasingly curious, wanting to know just who it could be.“Let’s welcome our next guest!” The second after the host finished her words passionately, a piece of even more exciting music played, and the door in the middle turned from black to a faint Morandi white color.It was a kind of gentle whiteness, warm and wondrous, clean and pure.Meanwhile, the audience all directed their gaze to the slowly opening door and held their breaths in unison.Amelie, too, reflexively looked in that direction to find a nearly thin figure dressed in a similar white color.Despite wearing a plain modern suit, he looked exactly like he could be from a fairy tale. He was unrealistically crisp and handsome, so much so that no one dared to touch him.The handsome young man ambled out and instantly attracted everyone’s attention with his amiable gaze and faint but gentle smile.“Blake Gareth!” Jodie gushed reflexively as joy enveloped her face. In fact, she even jumped without caring that she was onstage.Well, I’ll be damned! Amelie nearly lost her composure when she realized who it was. What the heck is Blake up to?!“Goodness me. He’s so hot!” The female host exaggeratedly fell backward as she had been infatuated.The male host, on the other hand, approached with a smile. “Indeed. Even a guy like me is infatuated with him.”Meanwhile, Blake smiled subtly. It was one laced with a hint of bashfulness of a fresh young adult, gentle and wonderful.Having made infatuated by the smile, the crowd only applauded a long while later before chanting frantically, “Blakey, Blakey!”The chant, too, lasted for quite a while, and when it finally died, the female host approached Blake with her hand on her forehead. “Goodness, Blake. Looks like you’re a crowd favorite. The crowd
nearly blew up the studio.”“Thank you, everyone.” Blake gave the crowd a simple thank-you bow while still wearing his signature smile.His every movement was exceptionally graceful, filled with a sense of nobility.While Jodie nearly passed out from excitement, the other young women expressed their shock with different expressions.“I am absolutely shocked that you’ve decided to join us, Blake. Can you tell us whom you have come for?” asked the female host eagerly.
