Chapter 15 You Are Worth It

It was Blake! The crowd drew a collective breath as everyone's eyes turned to Blake. Amelie also looked at him in surprise. "Mr. Gareth, you—" Elyse looked over in confusion as he stood up. "Miss Clayton, you want to wear it on your wedding day, but it just happens that I want to get married too. My lover likes it so much, so I must get it for her!" This time, Leo did not bid anymore. He glanced at Amelie, then led Elyse away without saying a word. Blake obtained the diamond tiara, and after paying the final payment, he gave it to Amelie. "Amelie, here you go." "You placed the bid on this for me?" She looked at him in surprise and thought he had obtained it just for the girl he loved! "Yes." He nodded seriously. "Are you crazy? You paid 100 million for it?" 100 million! Amelie knew that this was almost all of Blake's savings. "This diamond tiara is not worth the price at all. There is absolutely no need for you to be such a fool!" She almost died of heartache from his wasted savings. "The diamond tiara is not worth it, but you are worth it." His tone was still serious, and his gaze on her was shining brightly. She seemed to see a sort of admiration in his eyes. I must be imagining it. At the auction house entrance, Elyse caught up with Leo with some effort while holding her dress. "Leo, it's just a diamond tiara; I don't mind." She put on a considerate look. "I did not bid on the diamond tiara for you," he said indifferently. Seeing Amelie bid for the diamond tiara, Leo suddenly thought of the night they got married. She said with a bit of regret, "I sincerely desired to have a European wedding. I'm talking about the kind where I'm wearing a diamond tiara." Although she had already divorced him, their relationship had not reached the point where he could watch her make a fool of herself even though he knew she could not afford it. He first gave a warning and then decided to help her buy it. Even if she got angry and bid against him, he considered it compensation for their divorce. However, the end result was not as expected. Amelie already had a man willing to spend a lot of money on her. The more that man was willing to spend money for her, the more that man made him look like a scumbag. It was apparent that Amelie married him through unscrupulous means. What was the point of being nice to a woman who schemed against him? Frustration welled up in Leo and made him uncomfortable. Elyse looked around awkwardly. Initially, she wanted to act like she was generous, gentle, and considerate, but he was so indifferent to her. Fortunately, no one was around; otherwise, she would have been humiliated. … In the end, Amelie still accepted the diamond tiara. Still, she asked Jamie to transfer 100 million to Blake from her account, which he returned that night. "Amelie, if it weren't for you, I would be dying of starvation now. If you insist on returning the money to me, I won't stay in Starlight Media!" This kid… I just want to pay back the money; why is it so difficult? Although there were no reporters at the auction house, the story of Blake spending 100 million to buy a diamond tiara for Amelie still spread throughout the upper-class circle. Jodie received a lot of calls in just one morning, and everyone was asking about this. "Damn, Amelie is just trash that the Alston Family doesn't want anymore, but Blake spent so much money for her!" When Jodie thought about how her favorite idol, whom she dreamed of calling 'hubby,' had spent so much money for someone like Amelie, it was as if her innards were being boiled in boiling water. She was seriously upset! "Is Blake blind? Not only is she useless, she is also divorced and has previously given birth to a child! If it were me, even if Amelie cleaned my shoes, I would feel that they're super dirty!" Melissa's face was also not very good. She had already heard about Jodie's grievances yesterday and felt that because of Blake, Amelie dared to challenge them. "Could it be that Blake doesn't know that Amelie had given birth before? This woman has always been deceptive, so she might have deceived him." Melissa made a guess. "Blake knows!" Melissa's words only made Jodie's mood worse. "I've heard all about it. Not only does Blake know, but he also even took Amelie and her bastard skating!" It was precisely because she knew Blake did not even care about Amelie having a child that she was even more desperate. Jodie herself was a virgin and the precious daughter of the Alston Family. Yet, he even rejected her after she confessed her feelings to him! From Jodie's point of view, she was many times better than Amelie! The more Jodie thought about it, the worse she felt. "Mom, Amelie has been giving us a hard time after the divorce, so we have to return her the favor!" she suggested viciously to Melissa. "Since Amelie has left the Alston Family, we should treat her as a dead person. Don't bother about her; otherwise, we would lose our worth." Melissa was more concerned about her own status. She told Jodie, "However, there is one more important thing right now that we need to find her for." Initially, when Jodie heard that Melissa did not want to help her, she was so angry that she was about to jump up. Still, when she listened to Melissa's plan, she became happy again. "Mom, you're amazing. Now that we manage to get to her weak spot, she will suffer this time!" Julia was on vacation today, and after she accompanied Amelie to send Bria to school, the two went to check out other kindergartens nearby. Bria said that she did not like the current kindergarten, so Amelie took this opportunity to find her another place, lest the Alston Family find some fault with them. The two walked and chatted, and they inevitably brought up the auction last night. When they brought up how Leo was willing to fight Amelie for the diamond tiara at all costs so that he could give it to Elyse, Julia was so angry that she gritted her teeth. "Leo's greatest ability in his life is bullying you. Fortunately, Blakey is a thoughtful lad and helped you. It will let Leo know how popular you are with others now!" Amelie could not help but suck in a breath when Blake was mentioned. The diamond tiara he bought with 100 million was now like a fire that was burning her badly. He would not accept her money, but she did not want to be indebted to him. Before she could figure out a solution, the phone rang. She lowered her head to answer, and a cold voice sounded from the other end. "11.30AM at Northpoint Café. Be there on time!" It was not until the other party hung up the phone that Amelie remembered that the voice was from her ex-mother-in-law, Melissa.
