My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo)

Chapter 180

At night, Leo went to Prix Bar. His usual straight-backed posture was nowhere to be seen. He remained

there and was quiet until Victor walked in.

When he raised his head slightly and Victor, his gaze slightly sharpened on Victor.

Although Victor didn’t say anything. Leo knew that he had found something in his investigation.

The price to pay for hiring Victor may be sky-high, but he had to admit that the man was very

efficient.

“How did it go?” he asked after a few seconds of silence.

Victor nodded. “Miss Dillon has a fixed income in her account. The amount every month is not fixed,

but never less than one million. The money was stated as tips and had nothing to do with Starlight

Media.”

“Tips?” Just a second ago, Leo was expressionless, but now he looked taken aback. “What tips?”

The confidence in Amelie piqued his curiosity, but of course, it was because he felt responsible toward

Brianna that he asked Victor to investigate her income status.

“I’m not certain.” An uneasy look washed over Victor’s face. “It seems like these tips have been

deliberately handled so that the source couldn’t be traced.”

While they were speaking, Toby and Ashton arrived.

Since that last time when Elyse instigated Ashton to abduct Brianna to Leo’s place, Ashton was

severely punished by his father and was just released tonight.

A sneer that was clearly marked with disgust appeared on his lips when he heard Leo checking up on

Amelie, and this disgust was more distinguished than it was in the past. After that, he jeered, “What

kind of tips can a woman like her receive? She’s useless, and only her face and body are pleasing to

the eyes. Most probably, she’s making dirty money at some explicit places.”

When Toby heard that, he furrowed his brows slightly in disgruntlement, but he didn’t say anything and

turned to Leo, only to find him frowning, looking deep in his thoughts.

Meanwhile, Ashton had shifted all the blame for his punishment on Amelie, and he was full of hate for

her. He took big strides over to the table, stopped opposite Leo, and sat down ungracefully. There was

no hiding the displeasure on his face as he helped himself to a glass of

wine.

While he raised his glass, he stopped and put on a sneer. “As far as I know, many adult websites from

abroad are recruiting the girls here with lucrative conditions. Those men are very generous, giving huge

tips every time. Only these websites will deliberately hide their tracks when paying

commissions so people can’t trace back the specific channels.” Then, he purposely glanced at Leo..

“Think about it. Why would anyone be worried about getting found out if it’s money from proper

channels? What’s the reason for hiding the source?”

In his opinion, Amelie would have publicized it to the world if she was capable of making money.

“Hmph, she’s just a b*tch that’s acting arrogant,” he criticized and finished the drink in a gulp.

Still, Leo was silent, but his hand tightened as he held the glass, showing his white-knuckled grip on

the glass.

Toby observed him quietly; seeing the way he reacted, he quickly understood the situation and went

over to take a seat next to Leo.

eyes,

He helped himself to a glass, stared at the wine within with a deep look in his and questioned. “Is that

what you think as well, Leo?”

However, not a single word came out of Leo, and he merely waved at Victor for him to leave. Then, he

lowered his head and finished his wine. No matter how anyone looked at it, it seemed like he was

drinking out of frustration, and the look in Toby’s eyes deepened..

Meanwhile, Ashton was still sulking and huffing because he didn’t think that he was not in the wrong for

the matter last time.

After he had brought Brianna back home to Leo, not only was he ungrateful to him, he even snitched to

his father about it.

How frustrating!

The more all these replayed in his mind, the more he didn’t want Amelie to do well in life and for Leo to

resent her, and he said even bluntly, “Leo, I bet that the money she’s making is filthy. Even if you don’t

care about your own reputation, you have to consider it for Bria. She’ll learn nothing good from that

woman! It’s not like the Alstons don’t have the money to raise a child, so why did you leave her

unattended? It’s better to make a clean break quickly by unraveling Amelie’s true colors, get the child

back, and end this for good!”

Right after he finished speaking, Leo sprang to his feet and left without a word.

When Ashton saw how Leo had utterly dismissed him, he punched the table angrily and cursed..

Meanwhile, Amelie had also walked into Prix Bar because Samuel had made an appointment with an

important figure for her, and this was where they would meet.

Although she didn’t really enjoy business meetings in such settings, she could only bite the bullet in

order to make her platform a success.

The other party didn’t make her wait for a long time, arriving soon afterward. However, he had

Upon seeing her, that man said politely, “I wanted to meet you alone, but I ran into a bunch of old

friends at the door. Why don’t we hang out together?”

As it was difficult to make an appointment with him, Amelie didn’t want to waste this chance and gave

him a nod.

Then, the man politely introduced everyone to her one by one. That was when she noticed, with slight

surprise, that there was another important person she was interested in meeting among them. So, she

was delighted.

In between, while she watched everyone chatting happily, she couldn’t find a point in interrupting. So,

she crept up silently and took a seat next to the other important figure, spoke a little, and asked for a

business card.

The man not only gave her a card happily and even asked for a toast with her. Unable to turn him

down, she accepted the drink.

When the others saw that she accepted a drink from him, they followed suit and offered her a

toast.

This was a round of several drinks, and her head started to spin from the alcohol.

Afterward, she came up with an excuse and left the room, standing outside for quite a while.

In her mind, she was aware that these people weren’t in the mood to talk about work tonight, and it

would only be a waste of time if she hung around any longer.

I should just wait until they’re free and ask them out alone next time, she thought, pacing back to the

room to say goodbye.

Just a couple of steps later, the important figure she had just met came out of the room.

“Miss Dillon, why are you here by yourself? Come and have a drink with me,” he said, placing an arm

around her shoulders.

Although she was disgusted by his touch, she couldn’t throw a temper at him and could only avoid him

tactfully. “I’m sorry, Professor Fernando, I feel a little sick from all the drinks today, and I still have some

issues at home. I have to leave now, but I’ll ask you out next time.”

“We’re already here. Why are you speaking about next time?” Fernando was already tipsy from the

drinks and had lost the respectful image that he usually carried. He exposed his true colors after the

alcohol, and his lecherous gaze was glued to her face.

Then, they slowly traveled from her face and down to her chest.

Naked and direct.

considered her current circumstances, she sighed inwardly. These people usually appear proper and

are a group of senior experts, but inside, they’re wholly repulsive!

If she really led him to her platform, trouble could crop up any minute! So, it was better to watch. out

and not use a person with such distorted moralities.

With that thought in mind, she decided to give up Fernando and the other important figure, and her

expression turned indifferent. “Mr. Fernando, I’m sorry, but please step aside.”

She even stopped addressing him as a professor because it would be an insult to other genuine

teachers if a person like him were called one.

Then, she sidestepped and walked past him. As Fernando was used to being respected and assumed

that Amelie had other motives for him from chatting up with him earlier, he looked incredibly sullen

when he saw that she was about to leave. “You don’t know what’s better for you, huh? Since you’re out

to sell yourself, why are you putting up airs?”

“Sell myself?”

Amelie’s expression shifted into a forbidding one as she stared at him coldly.

He was just hinting earlier, but he escalated it to verbal insult so quickly? she thought disparagingly.

On the other hand, Fernando didn’t feel that he did anything wrong at all as he carried on with his

ways, muttering nonstop, “What? Do you think the price is too low? Then, is 10,000 enough? You have

a pretty face, and your body is good as well. It’s definitely going to be great when we have fun, but

seeing how open-minded you are, I reckon you’re not a virgin anymore. 10,000 is already the highest

price.”

After that, he fished out a wad of cash from his pocket with wobbly hands to stuff it into her chest.

Amelie snorted coldly and had already cursed him countless times in her heart. What kind of idiot

did I run into now?

Then, she bluntly shoved the cash back to him. “Mr. Fernando, please watch yourself!” she said,

pushing him aside with the money.

As he staggered backward from her actions, the money also scattered over the floor due to his drunken

state.

Instantly, fury ignited within him, and he lunged at Amelie, who had started to walk away.

Suddenly, she felt a heavy slamming into her without warning, causing her to smack right into

the wall.

Since she was pinned to the wall by said heavy object and had difficulties breaking free. Finally, when

she twisted her head back, she saw Fernando holding her firmly with his hands, and his

your lucky stars that you caught my interest! How dare you put up airs!”

After the last word left his lips, a pungent-smelling mouth that reeked of alcohol moved toward

her.
