Chapter 126

Amelie and Julia were discussing their project with the person in charge at their company when

someone came closer and whispered something to Julia.

“Please excuse me.” She patted Amelie’s shoulder.

“Alright.” Amelie smiled.

After Julia was gone, Amelie politely nodded at the client and said, “Perhaps I should take over and

explain more about the company’s project to you.”

“Haven’t you been a housewife the entire time. Miss Dillon? I didn’t expect you to start crossing the line

and interfering with Starlight Media’s affairs so soon. Before the client could say anything, they were

interrupted by someone else.

When Amelie turned around, she saw a lady’s face with heavy makeup, and her long, blue dress with

sparkling embroidery on it tapered down to the floor.

However, Amelie didn’t know who that person was. She did not recognize her face, but even so, she

could tell from her words that the woman hadn’t come with friendly intentions. Furthermore, the fact that

the woman mentioned Amelie’s past as a housewife while accusing her of overstepping her authority

instantly cast doubts on her capability. As expected, the client fixed his gaze on Amelie skeptically,

making it seem as though he didn’t quite believe in her.

Nevertheless, Amelie wasn’t fazed at all. Instead, she reacted with a bright smile on her face. “Well,

people who do live broadcasts all the time typically ‘cross the line, you know. Many of them used to be

construction workers, farmers, or even homeless people before they got into the business, but guess

what? They’re still who they are, which doesn’t change the fact that they’re still well-liked, don’t you

think so? Moreover, with all the rising demands and expectations in modern society, you can’t blame

those people for doing so, can you? After all, that’s how surprises are made.”

“Precisely! I agree with you, Miss Dillon. The reason why I love working with Starlight Media is that

you’re bold enough to cross the lines with your broadcasts. By doing so, it can prove to everyone else

in our country that nothing is impossible, as well as why people in this business are so popular.” The

client declared his admiration for Amelie despite his initial doubts.

At that moment, he was even more impressed by Amelie, not to mention his endorsement of Starlight

Media’s reputation for excellence. “You may have been a housewife back then, but I’m sure you’re

smart. For that, no one should discriminate against housewives in this modern era.”

“Um…” The woman had a pale face, seemingly caught off guard by Amelie’s witty reply. Despite her

embarrassment, she wasn’t about to give up. “I didn’t mean to discriminate against housewives, but

Miss Dillon has never learned any basic commercial principles before. As far as I’m concerned, her

father is only a shoe maker with humble origins, which was why he couldn’t afford the best education

for her. Because of that, I’m afraid you have a long way to go to become the decent person you think

you are, and I doubt you’re

While you may be able to talk your way out or close the deal with your client, you also need to be

observant and keen with your judgment…”

The woman went on and on about her point, glaring at Amelie. “Anyway, I don’t think you’ve heard any

of this, have you, Miss Dillon?” She intentionally raised her voice, knowing the audio engineer was right

beside her with the microphone turned on. Therefore, her words could be heard by everyone else

around the place.

In that instant, Amelie quickly found herself surrounded by several people as though she were in the

spotlight. Not long after that, even the passers-by got curious and walked closer to have a look at what

was going on when they saw the scene. While everyone else was waiting for what would unfold next,

the person, who stated his admiration for Amelie, started to doubt her once again.

Meanwhile, Jodie was sipping some wine from a glass as she watched the scene from afar, her eyes

smiling. Since she was concerned about her status and the Alston Family’s image, she hired a woman

to insult Amelie in her place as she was determined to catch Amelie off guard. I know what you’re up

to, Amelie. You want to earn everyone’s approval with this chance, don’t you? Well, I’m going to make

sure everyone remembers your ineptitude instead. In the end, you will be responsible for Starlight

Media’s downfall.

On the other hand, the woman, who was finding fault with Amelie, continued to relentlessly put Amelie

down with her mean words. “I’ve heard about your marriage with Mr. Alston. For that, I must say you

don’t have what it takes to be the best of the best even though you might have a trick or two up your

sleeve, which was why you struggled to make peace with everyone else in the family. Aren’t I right?

While you might be able to take care of a mess in a small company, things in Starlight Media are on a

different scale. As such, it makes me wonder what move you’re going to make next, Miss Dillon.”

The woman finished her words and stuck out her head by stretching her neck like a rooster that just

won a fight. Deep down, she was already imagining the awkward look on Amelie’s face and the

contemptuous expression from the bystanders who gloated over her misery. I just picked at her ability

harshly, criticized her character, and exposed her background to everyone here. I’m so brilliant!

Goodness! Let’s see how she talks her way out of that!

While keeping her eyes fixed on the woman, Amelie pursed her lips and smirked. Instead of rushing to

reply, she tilted her head calmly with a bright smile on her face. At the same time, everyone else was

surprised when they saw her reaction, not expecting her to smile in an intense and awkward situation.

Nevertheless, Amelie’s smile was so beautiful that it made everyone else forget about their disdain for

her, leaving them stunned and spellbound by her beauty. Oh, wow! Her smile is so beautiful! It’s no

wonder people say women are trouble.

“You’re right, lady. I might not have talent, but who does everything by herself in this modern era? Great

leaders delegate jobs to other people and make them worry about it for them.”

“That’s right.” The place was filled with voices of approval as soon as Amelie finished her sentence.

“Anything can be done with the right price.” Although the bystanders were initially attracted to Amelie’s

beauty, they became impressed with her witty words and started to respect her for her brilliance.

On the other hand the woman

who had inet tried to verbally attack Amelie stared at hør eneerhleccly cho

“You’re indeed a pretty and clever lady, Miss Dillon!” The client complimented Amelie’s quick wit,

acknowledging her cleverness. He then turned his attention to the woman and said, “You must be Mr.

Marston’s wife, right? You and your husband may be the leaders of Skyrise Decor, but it seems to me

that you lack the creativity and the courage to try new things. Therefore, I guess I must reconsider the

matter of working with your company.”

The moment Amelie heard the name, it dawned on her what happened. Since Skyrise Decor was the

supplier for Genesis, it naturally occurred to her that the Alston Family was involved. Someone from the

Alston Family is trying to use Skyrise Decor to drag me down.

In that instant, Amelie started scanning her surroundings shortly before she met a pair of hostile eyes.

Jodie Alston! When she noticed Jodie’s glacial and hateful look, she couldn’t help but curl her lips to

form a smile.

It looks like Jodie still hasn’t gotten over it since I fooled her the last time. It’s pretty obvious to me that

she is here for retaliation. Even so, Amelie didn’t go ahead and expose Jodie but instead looked away

after fixing her eyes on her for a while. Then, she continued to discuss her project with the client.

Soon, Kelly Patterson, whose husband was the president of Skyrise Decor, came back to Jodie as her

tears were about to roll down her eyes. “La Casa Decoriums is Skyrise Decor’s biggest client. My

husband is going to kill me if he finds out we just lost him. Please do something to help me, Miss

Alston.”

It turned out that the client was the boss of La Casa Decoriums. Although its headquarters was situated

in the next town, its influence was still formidable here.

Jodie clenched her fists, her grudge against Amelie growing stronger. After hearing Kelly’s words, she

became even more frustrated and irritated. “Leave first. We’ll talk about the rest later,” she coldly said.

Compared to Kelly’s failed attempt at humiliating Amelie, Jodie was even angrier at being ignored by

Amelie, for it felt as though she was just an insignificant leaf that fell from the tree. For that, she felt like

slapping Amelie in the face; being ignored was the last thing she could ever tolerate, after all.

Not long after that, Amelie was invited onto the stage to deliver a speech. Despite her brief speech, her

words were both insightful and impactful. Coupled with her stellar impromptu speaking skills, she was

able to impress all her listeners and earn their respect. “Amelie Dillon is such an exceptional lady!”

They praised her, but unbeknownst to them, their compliments didn’t sit well with Jodie. As Amelie

descended from the stage. she took a step forward and scurried to her hurriedly.
