Chapter 130

Then, everyone heard Bria's words. "It's your turn now, Aunt Jodie."

On the stage, Bria smiled and looked at Jodie.

However, Jodie was looking at her blankly, still in shock. When she heard Bria call her, she could only stare blankly at her.

She looks confident, optimistic, and lively. She is nothing like she was in the Alston Residence. Moreover, what pitch was she singing in just now?

As Jodie counted inwardly, her face went pale when she realized the song's pitch.

"Which song are you going to sing, Miss Alston?" One of the musicians asked as they were backstage.

Although they were asking Jodie, they were looking at Bria since they were amazed by her performance.

These musicians are men, so they should be looking at me. After all, men have always kept their eyes on me no matter where I went. However, a three-year-old has outshined me.

At that moment, Jodie was unhappy and shouted without thinking it through. "I'm going to sing the song with the highest note!"

When the musician heard her words, they were stunned. However, they soon found a song whose pitch was almost as high as Bria's ending note. Then, they began playing their instruments while Jodie sang along. However, as she sang, she saw the expression of the crowd. Next, she heard a crooked voice surrounding the room. Whose voice is that? she thought. Only when she felt her throat hurt did she realize it was her voice! Her voice had cracked!

As soon as she realized this, she looked at the microphone in horror. Her mind was filled with the snarky comments and ignorance she had given Bria just moments before. I'm the humiliating one when I've been disgracing the other!

At that moment, her mind went blank as she stood like a statue on the stage. She knew she should run off the stage and disappear from the public eye, but she didn't even have the strength to do so. At this moment, Bria said to Julia on the stage. "Let's sing together, Ma."

Even Bria could tell that Jodie had sung off-key. Since she was here to support Amelie and not trying to humiliate Jodie, she pulled Julia's hand and said.

When Julia heard her words, she stepped on the stage with confidence, and the duo started singing together.

Not far away, Leo had his eyes on Bria, who was standing on the stage.

autistic since she would hide far away whenever she saw him or a stranger nearby. However, looking at her bold, confident, smiling daughter who loved to sing and dance, he wondered if this was the Bria he knew.

At that moment, he suddenly recalled that Amelie had told him that Bria was suffering and in agony when she was at Alston Residence. It was at this moment when he saw the other side of Bria did he understand how Amelie felt when she told him that.

I almost ruined my own daughter's lifet

Thinking about it, Leo felt like he was being slapped. He didn't even dare look at Bria.

On the other hand, when Elyse saw Leo's mixed expression, she was nervous and pinched herself underneath her sleeves.

Bria's performance is outstanding. As her father, Leo will pay attention to Bria. This means that he will come in contact with Amelie! Once they know each other, he will know that she is Big Eyes!

As Elyse thought about it, she felt like she was being hit from behind as her mind went dizzy. She couldn't think straight, nor could she stand calm and composed at this moment. However, she knew one thing for sure she had to stop them from seeing each other!

Then, she said in a low voice, "Bria is indeed talented. However, for a three-year-old child to sing such a difficult song is abusing her voice. Amelie is pushing her too hard. After all, not even adults can endure such extreme training. If this goes on, Bria's voice will be destroyed." As she spoke, she looked concerned.

Elyse knew what a person Leo was. Since Leo was responsible and would not neglect Bria, he would take his child away from Amelie if she indicated that Amelie was only using Bria for money. With the power that Leo held, Amelie was no match for him. Although Elyse would then become Bria's stepmother, it would still be a better choice than letting Leo know that Amelie was Big Eyes!

However, she waited for some time, yet nothing happened. Leo was still staring at Bria, who was dancing and singing on stage like he was being captivated. Toby, on the other hand, smirked coldly and said, "I wonder how you can tell that Amelie is pushing Bria too hard when Bria enjoys the spotlight."

Hearing his words, Elyse was frustrated. Damn it! He always messes up my plan!

Since she couldn't say anything to rebuke him, she held back her anger.

Suddenly, she heard a voice from behind. "How can you figure it out if she is enjoying the stage when she is on

Elyse turned her head and saw that it was Ashton. He tilted his head and huffed as he spoke, seemingly to loathe Amelie.

When Elyse saw that Ashton had said the words she wished she could, she was satisfied. Then, she pursed her lips and suppressed her excitement as she frowned and looked concerned. "I heard that Miss Dillion made Bria

"For someone who would do anything to have money, Amelie doesn't deserve to be a parent since she's profiting off her child," Ashton added.

In his mind, whatever Elyse said was true. As long as Elyse wanted it, he would replace an explanation for her.

Since they kept talking, it was hard for Leo to ignore their words.

When he heard that Amelie was using Bria to earn money, he frowned and darkened his eyes. Then, he strode toward the stage.

On the other hand, Amelie was hugging Bria beside the stage.

"Miss Dillion, it's bad for you to let your child learn such a high note while she is still so young. It will ruin her vocal cords," someone said in dissatisfaction.

When Amelie heard the spokesperson's words, she smiled and nodded. "Yes, you're right. However, I only learned that she can sing such a high note today. I'll keep an eye out on her from now on and let her practice what's best for her."

Although the crowd was amazed by Bria's high notes, they still had doubts since Bria was still young. However, when they saw that Amelie had accepted their criticism and told them that Bria had taught herself how to do it, they were in awe as their suspicions died down.

"It is never our children who can achieve such goals. I'm amazed that she taught herself."

"Yeah, my child isn't as good as Bria, and I even hired many teachers to teach her."

Leo stopped in his tracks when he heard Amelie's words. Then, he took a turn and walked toward Jodie, who was cowering in the corner. "Let's go home," he said.

When Jodie heard his words, she looked at him with red and puffy eyes. Then, she silently walked behind Leo as they left.

Looking at the two, Elyse clenched her fists and thought, Everything that happened today seemed like it was planned! Something always happens whenever I want to frame Amelie, and it always ends up benefitting her!

Thinking about it, Elyse turned around and looked at Amelie with hatred, feeling frustrated from her loss. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and quickly chased after Leo.
