Chapter 139

The one calling Toby was none other than Amelie.

She wanted to invite Toby to stay for a meal, but her plans were interrupted by Melissa’s sudden visit, so

she had to call him and apologize no matter what.

However, Toby suddenly said those words when Amelie was about to hang up.

She felt her fingers freeze while she tightly pursed her lips.

Though she was surprised that Toby had guessed her identity, her identity wasn’t a secret, so there was

need to hide it.

A while later, she calmed down and smiled faintly. “Mr. Walsh, you have a keen eye.”

On the other hand, a faint smile appeared on Toby’s exquisite face, but his smile seemed to contain

slight

disappointment.

“I should have discovered it earlier.”

These suspicions had appeared long ago, but he hoped they weren’t true.

After finding out she was Foxy, he was already under a lot of pressure, so her identity as Starlight

Media’s boss would only make him feel even more inferior and that Amelie was beyond his league.

Actually, the Walshes’ Dustan Corporation wasn’t worse than Amelie’s Starlight Media. On the contrary,

Dustan Corporation had a deeper foundation and was a family-run company similar to Genesis.

Whether it was in terms of wealth or position, Dustan Corporation was one of the top companies in

Clouson

City.

Toby’s ability wasn’t bad either, as he was the most outstanding younger generation in his family, but his

impressive performance was different from Amelie’s.

His starting point was on the efforts accumulated by his elders, while Amelie started from scratch.

Establishing a media company of such scale from scratch was obviously challenging. Even a man might

not be able to do it, but she, a woman, had succeeded based on her capabilities and all on her own.

That realization made Toby feel even more bitter.

“It’s not too late for you to realize this because we still have many opportunities to cooperate with each

other. But I’m used to keeping a low profile, so please don’t tell others about this.”

Toby smiled and couldn’t help but say, “Isn’t it better for them to find out? That way, you can prove them

wrong.”

“It’s a waste of time,” she quickly responded calmly. “There are plenty more important things to do in life.”

From the way she spoke, Toby could hear that she had fet the past go, and his originally miserable mood

immediately brightened up.

Since Amelie was the owner of Starlight Media, it meant she was still single. Therefore, if he worked

harder, he would become someone worthy of her.

“You’re right.” He nodded in agreement. “So, I will be seeing you in person when I head over to sign the

contract tomorrow, right?”

“Of course.” Amelie didn’t think too much before answering.

With how much Toby had previously helped her and his relationship with Steven, she, as the boss of

Starlight Media, should personally entertain him.

After getting a definite answer, Toby smiled genuinely. “Well, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

He hung up and suppressed his smile, but there was still a slight trace of it on his face.

“Have you found the owner of Starlight Media? Who is he?” A voice suddenly sounded, followed by a

figure appearing before Toby’s eyes.

When Toby took a closer look, he saw that it was Leo.

Meanwhile, Leo looked Toby dead in the eye with his slightly oppressive jet-black eyes.

He pulled his lips taunt and had an extremely serious expression on his face.

“Is she-

“Who do you wish the owner of Starlight Media to be?” Toby interrupted him as a sarcastic smile

appeared on his face. “Amelie? Wouldn’t it be humiliating for you if she did establish Starlight Media?”

Though Leo didn’t answer him, his eyes were looking down, and his fingers were clenched into fists.

However, he had no strength to tighten his fists as he racked his brains on this matter. It doesn’t matter

whether Amelie is the owner of Starlight Media, but… if she was the owner of Starlight Media, why did

she sleep with me, force me to marry her, and endure the four years of our marriage? Was it out of love?

Was it true love? But we’ve never really known each other before, so how could she be in love with me?

Or perhaps…. we’ve met each other way before? What kind of relationship would make her love me so

much that she would endure my cold shoulder and stay with me?

“Could it be…”

“Elliot Poole! The owner of Starlight Media is Elliot Poole.” Without waiting for Leo to finish his words,

Toby hurriedly interrupted him by making up a fake name.

Leo’s thoughts were cut off and instantly stopped.

He gazed sharply and probingly at Toby with a serious expression, but beads of sweat ran down his

forehead.

Seeing Leo’s sweaty forehead, Toby was shocked because he didn’t expect Amelie’s identity would

cause Leo to

react like that.

The larger the reaction, the more a person cared about something, so had Leo also started developing

feelings

for Amelie?

Toby walked over to Leo and patted his shoulder. “Leo, even if Amelie is the owner of Starlight Media,

you guys have divorced each other, and Elyse is now your responsibility. So, you should take care of her

and not let her

down.”

After saying that, he left but then turned back after taking a few steps. “I wanted to tell you that your

mother went to Amelie’s house and threw a fit there. You should comfort your mother after you return

home.”

Leo watched with narrow eyes without giving any response as Toby’s figure gradually disappeared in the

distance.

Toby used to always object to my relationship with Elyse, so why did he suddenly support our

relationship? Has he fallen in love with Amelie? He clearly knows about Amelie and the owner of

Starlight Media’s relationship, so… why is he still acting this way?

A long while later, he took out his phone and dialed a number. “Ashton, help me look into Elliot Poole.”

On the other hand, Ashton was having tea with Elyse and was shocked to hear Leo’s instruction.

However, he still agreed, “Sure.”

“Why did Leony suddenly ask you to investigate someone?” Elyse overheard their conversation, and a

surprised expression appeared on her face as she blinked her eyes.

Leo was extremely close with Ashton and Toby, but he was closer to Toby than Ashton and would usually

ask Toby to help him when investigating someone.

With pursed lips, Ashton replied, “Beats me.”

He was used to being spoiled, so he never thought about things at a deeper level.

However, Elyse was far more mindful than him, and she tightened her fingers around her cup.

Ashion hated it when Elyse showed her concern for Leo, but he couldn’t bear to reject her, so he tilted

his head and arrogantly crossed his legs before making a call. “Help me look into someone called Eliot

Poole.”

Within half an hour, he had received Elliot’s information, but there were only details and no picture.

After giving the information a few half-hearted glances, Ashton threw his phone on the table with a

disdainful expression. “I thought it was some kind of high-profile personnel, but it turns out to be such an

ordinary person. What a waste of time.”

When Elyse heard that, she quickly grabbed the phone and took a look.

She broke out in a cold sweat and took a sharp breath after seeing the words Founder of Starlight

Media.’

Also, she felt like someone had poured cold water on her heart, causing her heart to wrench.

She naturally knew that Leo wasn’t concerned about who the owner of Starlight Media was but Amelie!

He still hadn’t let go of that woman until this moment!

Clenching her fingers tightly, Elyse broke her nail on the phone’s screen while her eyes reddened.

When Ashton saw her broken nail, he clearly felt worried and instinctively grabbed her hand. “What’s the

matter? Your nail is broken.”

Violently taking away her hand, Elyse sprang to her feet and growled at Ashton, “Don’t touch me!”

After that, she stormed away.
