Chapter 340 An Ugly B*tch

Jodie's mind was close to bursting. Even after scratching her scalp as she racked her brain, she couldn't think of a good way to seek revenge on Amelie.

All she could think of was Melissa.

Hence, she dialed her mother's number. "Mom, did you know? Amelie is Foxy!"

When Melissa picked up the phone, she was watching the replay of Foxy's live broadcast in a laid-back manner while letting Miss Potts do her manicure.

Jodie's sudden statement made her pull her hand slightly, causing Miss Potts to clip on her flesh.

"Ouch!" Melissa glared at Miss Potts.

Miss Potts shuddered subconsciously and waited for her scolding.

However, it was more important for Melissa to figure out what was going on. "What do you mean? Explain in detail."

While saying that, she gestured to Miss Potts to back away.

As if being forgiven, Miss Potts hurriedly grabbed her tools and took to her heels.

Jodie sounded like she was crying over the phone. "I overheard Amelie and Blake's conversation just now. Blake called her Foxy! Mom, Amelie must think of us as fools! She used to act pitiful at home back then and claimed that her family was poor. They were all lies! She has been toying with us all along. All of us are her source of entertainment!"

Hearing that, Melissa felt her head buzz.

Even though she knew that Amelie was capable, she never associated her with Foxy at all.

If she is Foxy, then what I did back then....

At the thought of how harsh and sarcastic she treated Amelie back then, she felt her cheeks burn.

She was too ashamed of herself now!

Melissa had always carried a strong sense of superiority, and she valued her pride more than anything else.

Jodie's discovery had no doubt crushed her pride into pieces.

She wanted to deny it. She wanted to accuse Jodie of mishearing, but Leo's words suddenly flashed in her mind.

He asked me multiple times whether I know who Amelie really is.

Has he been hinting to me about this?

Melissa slapped the table with her palm, and she couldn't care even if it hurt. At this moment, she only cared about her lost pride!

Jodie merely bullied Amelie, but what about her? She didn't just give Amelie the cold shoulder, she even continuously created opportunities to matchmake her son to Foxy, when they were both the same person.

She eagerly wanted to dig a hole and hide in it so that she didn't have to face anyone in her life.

Her face hurt, but her chest hurt even more! To be precise, every part of her body hurt!

She called out to Miss Potts a few times, but there was no response.

Eventually, she had to clutch her chest and run outside.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she stumbled and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, she managed to support herself by holding the door, but a look of despair painted across her face.

"We're doomed. We're doomed!"

Initially, she merely thought that her son still stood a chance regardless of Foxy's relationship with Toby.

As long as the two weren't engaged, she could still pull some tricks to matchmake her with Leo.

Now, however... It is all over!

Since Amelie and Foxy were the same people, she had deep resentment for Melissa. Why would she agree to marry her son?

The hundreds of millions of fans backing Foxy and the wealth that came with it that could have belonged to the Alstons were now gone!

The most ideal alliance she had in mind had slipped out of her hands. Just like that.

The loss of benefits made her even more desperate and heartbroken than the loss of pride.

Propping her forehead with her fingers, she suddenly felt the world spinning around her. She could pass out anytime soon!

"Mrs. Alston." Just then, someone suddenly supported her arm.

A lady's voice sounded crisp and clear in her ear. "I'm here to look for Leo."

Jodie waited for hours outside the rink, but Melissa had yet to arrive.

Her mother hung up in the middle of the call, and she didn't even send her help.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt, and the more aggrieved she was.

She smashed her limited edition bag against the wall until it was deformed.

But so what? She couldn't save anything.

She wanted to leave this place, but humans were stubborn beings. The more aggrieved one was, the more unwilling they were to leave the place that brought them misery. Eventually, she entered the venue once again.

Before long, the host announced in an enthusiastic voice, "The last group who will perform for us is our long-awaited extraordinary, handsome, and talented prince, Blake Gareth! All of a sudden, the audience cheered and applauded loudly.

Blake was extremely popular in the country hence many people attended the event today just to watch him.

Before the applause died down entirely, the lights suddenly dimmed.

Under a mysterious light blue beam of light, a dark figure skated across the stage.

"Blakey! Blakey!"

The audience immediately cheered his name.

Their voices even overshadowed the music at one point.

Blake danced around gracefully under the ring of light, and every movement he made elicited a scream from the ladies in the crowd.

Some even fainted due to his charisma.

After doing a few simple movements, he reached out toward the darkness.

Another hand stretched out and landed on his palm.

Her hand was fair and smooth, and her fingers were thin and slender. It was as graceful and beautiful as aquatic plants floating in the water.

"Oh my god! He brought a partner!"

"No way!"

"He never performs pair skating!"

"Is she going to snatch Blakey away from us?"

"That's so cruel."

At the sight of the hand, the audience broke into an uproar. Everyone started discussing with each other. They also opened their eyes wide to check out the beauty.

"What's so interesting about her? She's just an ugly b*tch!" Hearing the discussions among the crowd, Jodie spat coldly.

A fire was currently burning in her chest.

However, when she heard the reaction of the audience, she saw hope once again.

Blake had always performed solo. Now that a woman came out of nowhere, she was definitely going to suffer criticism. Perhaps, Amelie might even be attacked by his fans!

Jodie couldn't wait for her to be criticized, better yet if they threw rotten tomatoes at her every day!

As she imagined the picture, she felt her mood lift.

"Woah! She's so pretty!"

"Damn it! Is that an angel?"

"She and Blakey look so good together!"

As soon as Amelie revealed her face, a new wave of admiration came from the audience.

"I hope Blakey asks her to be his girlfriend."

Jodie was returning to her senses, but what she heard was not what she wanted to hear.

Why are they all complimenting Amelie?

Once again, she clenched her fists until her fingernails sank into her palms. An enormous wave of rage boiled within her as her eyes turned bloodshot. She looked like a predator ready to pounce on her prey. Are these people blind?

Didn't they claim that they admired Blakey?

How could they not be angered when the innocent Blake was snatched by Amelie?

Suddenly, music sounded.

Under the guidance of Blake, Amelie started making spins on the spot before the two of them slid freely and galloped in unison.

The audience's gaze was locked on the duo. Every step they took in unison, and the contrast of their clothes against the white background, were eye-catching.

From time to time, Blake would lead Amelie in performing some difficult moves.

Their movements were neat and nimble. To be precise, the duo didn't seem to be skating but instead flying on clouds.

"Wow!"

"Woah!"

"Woah! Woah! Woah!"

Exclamations from the audience came continuously.

Amelie had previously majored in dance, and when combined with Blake's outstanding performance, their collaboration did not appear awkward at all.

Everyone started guessing where the figure skating novice came from as she wasn't a familiar face.

Hearing the compliments from the audience, Jodie couldn't help scrunching her face as she scratched her fingers on the chair.

She refused to believe that she wouldn't be able to defeat Amelie!

How could she perform pair skating that required intimate interactions with another man after just getting married? Is the boss of Starlight Media not jealous about it? Even if he isn't, could he really ignore it when the audience starts commenting on how perfect she and Blakey are as a couple?

At that thought, she immediately snapped pictures of them on the ice rink.

She didn't have Starlight Media's contact, but that didn't matter.

She sent the pictures purposely to a rich man who came from a family with a media background, and she told him to replace a way to spread the news across the Internet.

Once that was done, Jodie felt her rage dissipate a little.

"How dare you snatch my man, Amelie Dillon?! Let's see how you fare after this!"

Leo walked out of the office.

"Mr. Alston." Eugene held his phone and stood in front of the car with flickering eyes and a bothered expression. "What's the matter?" Leo read his mind with just a glance. "You can leave if you're caught up with something."

Since Eugene was married and had children, Leo could understand that he might need to settle some family affairs.

"No." Eugene walked over to him, feeling his scalp tingle as he found it hard to speak.

Eventually, he blurted, "Please look... look at this."

He handed the phone over.

Leo looked down to replace two beautiful figures—a man and a woman in red and black outfits respectively.

The man was lifting the woman high up, while the woman split her leg and spread her arms in the air. Though it was a still photo, he could feel the graceful rhythm of the duo's movements and the chemistry they carried.
