When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Hearing Amelie’s question, the lawyer smiled uneasily as he pushed his thick-rimmed glasses. “You are

indeed

a smart person, Miss Dillon.”

Amelie didn’t know what to feel about her guesses being spot on.

How could the Alstons do something so despicable just to prevent her from getting custody of Bria?

If even Oriental Law Firm didn’t dare to accept her case, asking the other law firms would be a waste of

time

as well.

“Miss Dillon, I know that you’re the representative of Starlight Media and are in no lack of money, but the

Alstons have both money and power, and they even have numerous connections. You won’t win if you

fight them, so why don’t you sit down and negotiate with them? Perhaps they’ll spare you,” the lawyer

suggested.

He felt quite sorry because he broke his promise and was unable to help Amelie.

Even though he dared not offend the Alstons, he still wanted to do his best and give Amelie some

friendly

advice.

Amelie knew the lawyer was saying this for her own good, so she nodded. “Thank you.”

After walking out, she took a deep breath.

She realized there was still a large difference between uprising and long-established nobilities.

Throughout her entire life, she had experienced countless problems, but she had never felt as powerless

as she was right now.

Amelie dared not tell Steven about the Alstons fighting with her for custody, fearing that he might get too

enraged for his own good.

She took a deep breath. She refused to admit defeat so easily.

After a brief respite, she hastily returned to her company and looked for the legal team, then discussed

ways to

calum the necklam with tham

She had always been keeping a close eye on this matter, and when she heard that the Alstons were

stopping any lawyers in Clouson City from helping Amelle, she was so pissed that she was fuming.

When the legal team left, she finally lost control and slammed the table. “How can Leo do that?! He’s

doing whatever he wants just because he has that little powerl Has he forgotten that if it weren’t for you

back then, he wouldn’t have anything right now?! He would be struggling for his life in some dark

alleyway! Since he has chosen cruelty, two can play the game. Elie, let’s expose him and show everyone

the heartless deeds he has

done!”

“So what if we do? He has power, capability, and connections. He can easily seal everyone’s mouth and

talk to the news outlets to suppress the news, and everything would be back to normal. What about us?

We’ll just be waiting for his revenge, and we’ll end up losing even more!” Amelie said, sighing.

When Julia heard that, she was so angry that her eyes turned red. “What’s going on with this world?

Those cruel b’stards are living their best lives, but good people like us have to endure the suffering! I

can’t just take and accept it. Elie. We can’t let this slide! They have to take responsibility for this!” She

rapped the table, saying, “If the lawyers in this city don’t dare to do it, we’ll just ask lawyers from another

city. If they can’t do it. either, we’ll get someone from overseas. I don’t think the Alstons can do anything

about overseas lawyers!”

With that, she took out her phone and got ready to make some calls.

“What’s the matter? Did something happen?” Behind them, someone suddenly asked.

The two turned around to see Toby walking in.

The two were stunned to see Toby here.

Julia swiftly placed her phone down as an obvious enmity colored her face. “Why are you here?”

Toby was Leo’s close friend, and under these circumstances, Julia just couldn’t treat him well.

“I was thinking of visiting Master, but I heard Miss Dillon is here, so I decided to stop by,” said Toby.

The master he spoke of was none other than Steven.

Julia also knew about Toby’s apprenticeship under Steven, so when she heard him saying that, she

snorted and said, “You’re just making excuses to spy on the enemy, aren’t you?”

Toby was stunned at her words. He couldn’t help but shrug, his handsome face filled with confusion.

Amelie knew that Toby wasn’t that sort of person, so she secretly nudged Julia, hinting at the latter to

stop talking.

Julia was still pissed, so she ignored Amelie’s advice. “Isn’t that so? That Alston guy is trying to snatch

the child from her, and he’s scared that he won’t be able to suppress us, so now he’s sending someone

here to spy

on us!”

revelation.

Julia glanced at him. “Go back and tell that Alston guy that even if he can seal the lawyers’ mouths, he

cannot seal mine. If he wants to fight us for the child, I’ll fight with him to the bitter end!”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Walsh. Julia is quite emotional right now. Amelie knew more or less that Toby had a

different character from Leo. She didn’t want him to be falsely blamed, so she sincerely apologized.

Toby shook his head in understanding. “I never expected Leo to fight you for the child. He has never told

me about this before. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Amelie shook her head silently.

The Alstons and the Walshes were business partners. It wouldn’t be practical to ask Toby for help.

Still, to her, Bria was like life itself.

When she thought about the possibility of Bria getting snatched away by Leo, she felt increasingly empty

and fearful in her heart.

Toby didn’t stay for long as he soon bade goodbye and left,

He got into his car, but instead of starting the car, he made a call to ask about the lawsuit.

After ending the call, he fell into deep thought.

He knew Leo’s temperament. Even if Leo truly were fighting with Amelie for the child, he wouldn’t have

done something like prevent her from hiring a lawyer.

Only Melissa would do something like that.

At that thought, he dialed Leo’s number.

Leo’s phone was turned off.

“Hah!” He chuckled, then dialed another number…
