When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

It had been a long time since Jodie last looked at her like this, so she couldn't help but wonder why. As

she looked at her, she asked, "What brings you here so late at night, Miss Alston?"

"How dare you ask?!" Jodie coldly snorted, her eyes full of anger. Without explaining, she walked over

and slapped Amelie.

Having understood Jodie's temperament long ago, Amelie was prepared and avoided the slap by tilting

her head.

When Jodie missed her first slap, she immediately took another swing at it.

This time, Amelie no longer tolerated her, for she reached out her hand to grab Jodie's wrist, twisting it

tightly.

It almost felt like Jodie's wrist was broken, but her anger overwhelmed the pain. She used her free

hand to slap Amelie again with all her might.

However, Amelie reacted faster than her and intercepted the slap mid-air.

Jodie was determined to embarrass Amelie, but she missed every slap. In the end, she became so

furious that she was shouting and struggling, wanting to break free from Amelie's grip. Yet, the

woman's grip was as tight as iron. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't break free. Thus, she

became desperate and resorted to kicking and biting.

At this moment, Amelie pushed her away. "Miss Alston, if you continue to behave unreasonably, I will

call the police!"

With her red eyes glaring at Amelie, Jodie bellowed, "You shameless woman, clinging onto my brother

and still having the nerve to call the police! Fine, call the police! Let's see if my brother will protect you

or me when he finds out!"

"I don't care whom your brother chooses to protect but causing a disturbance outside my house is not

acceptable." Amelie was not intimidated by her words at all and spoke sternly. "Or do you want the

people of Halport to know about your true character? Do you want everyone here to know who you

are?"

"You…" When Jodie heard that, her anger dissipated by half.

She had always been known as a refined lady from a prominent family in front of others. Even if she

was a little arrogant at times, people would overlook it for Leo's sake. However, this was Halport, far

from the stronghold of the Alston Family, and there were not as many people who respected her there.

If a scandal were to be publicized all over the internet, how could she continue to live?

"How dare you talk to me like that?! I'll tell Leo about this right now! Also, I'll tell him that you hit me!"

she blurted out a lie.

This was a trick she had perfected when Amelie was still at the Alston Residence. Whenever she was

unhappy, she would take it out on Amelie with every trick in the book, but the person to whom she

would tattle back then was Melissa. Since Melissa already looked down on this pathetic daughter-in-

law of hers, no matter how poor Jodie's act was, she would always side with her and punish Amelie.

When Amelie heard that, she wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she tilted her head elegantly and asked,

"Okay. Do you want me to dial the number for you?"

Is something wrong with her? Does she think that I still want to cling to the Alston Family? It has been

so long since Leo and I divorced. Isn't that enough to make her see reality?

After saying that, she took the initiative to pull out Jodie's phone from her pocket and unlocked it with

her face before dialing the number.

Speechless, Jodie stared wide-eyed at Amelie, unable to believe the series of actions she had just

witnessed.

Even at this moment, she still thought that Amelie was just acting. She doesn't dare call Leo. This b*tch

is always trying to cling to Leo and become Mrs. Alston again. She wouldn't let a conflict with her little

sister-in-law leak out, would she?

While she was lost in her thoughts, Amelie had already put the call on speaker. Just then, the phone

was answered. "Yes, Jodie?"

"Leo, it's me," Amelie calmly responded. "Please keep your sister in check. Don't let her come to my

house and cause trouble."

"What? You…" Jodie looked at Amelie, who not only called Leo but also snitched on her. Once again,

she was stunned. When did she become so brave?

After saying what she had to say, Amelie hung up the phone right away without waiting for Leo to

respond. Then, she threw the phone back into Jodie's hands. "Decide for yourself whether to wait for

your brother to come and pick you up or leave now. I'm warning you, though—don't get near me or my

family again. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"

As she said that, she raised her fist. "Also, I forgot to tell you. I'm a tenth-degree black belt."

Hearing that, Jodie didn't know what to say.

…

Bang, bang, bang! Clang, clang, clang!

Melissa was sound asleep when she was abruptly awakened by a series of chaotic noises in her

house. She was so frightened that she immediately crawled out of bed.

"Miss Potts! Miss Potts!" Too afraid to move, she stayed curled up in bed and could only call for Miss

Potts.

At once, Miss Potts ran in from outside with a very unpleasant expression on her face. "Mrs. Alston."

"What's going on? What happened?" The moment she saw Miss Potts' expression, her heart sank.

"Why is it so noisy downstairs when it's already the middle of the night?"

Did burglars come into the house? The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, and

even her hands began trembling.
