When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 13

Amelie looked up and saw Jodie walking in with her ex-mother-in-law, Melissa. As soon as Jodie saw Amelie, she instantly glared at her contemptuously. There were not many people at the venue, and all of them were scattered around chatting with each other. Only Amelie was sitting in the seat. Jodie still remembered clearly how she lost face at the clothing store last time. So, Amelie was no less than a fictitious enemy who killed her father, and she had wanted to punish Amelie for a long time. “Jojo!” Melissa whispered, trying to remind Jodie to remain composed in front of everyone. Melissa paid the most attention to her image and always wanted to come off as looking elegant and dignified. Jodie blinked a few times maliciously before pulling Melissa away. “The auction hasn’t started yet. Mommy, why don’t you go over there to see what’s happening at the art exhibition?” The art exhibition and auction would be carried out at the same time. “Alright.” Melissa knew exactly what her daughter was plotting, so she walked away since she could always claim plausible deniability later. Amelie was far from surprised by Melissa’s actions, given that she had always behaved like this when they were at the Alston Residence. Amelie was also indifferent when she saw Jodie walking toward her with an evil smile. As soon as Jodie approached Amelie, she rudely pulled out the auction list that Amelie was holding in her hand and threw it on the ground. “What a shameless slut! Do you really think you are from Starlight Media because Julia once protected you? Do you think you have the qualifications to sit here? F*ck off immediately! This is my seat!” However, Amelie merely nonchalantly looked at Jodie. “What if I don’t want to?” “Then, I’ll let everyone know that you sneaked in without an invitation letter! Let’s see if any man is willing to have you when you get thrown out by the security!” When Jodie spoke, her eyes fell on the set of cleaner’s clothes that someone put next to Amelie, and her eyes were filled with ill intent. Somehow, Jodie determined that Amelie infiltrated the venue disguised as a cleaner. While Amelie also noticed the suit earlier, she was not troubled by it. So, she did not ask anyone to take it away. “Is that so?” Amelie questioned dispassionately. She had never been afraid of Jodie and was only courteous to Jodie because she was Leo’s younger sister. But, of course, now that they were divorced, there was no need to worry about being polite at all. Well, Amelie was bored and decided toNôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

play a prank on Jodie. Immediately, Amelie wore a worried look. “Then… where should I sit?” Amelie’s ‘worried’ expression played right into Jodie’s hands. Jodie turned and pointed at a spot at the last row in the corner. “See that? That’s where Zach, the 68 years old pervert, sits. If you sit there, I’m sure he’ll notice and take care of you. If he’s in a good mood, perhaps he’ll even take you in as his seventh lover!” Zach was famous for being lustful. He already had six lovers at home, but he still screwed around and was recently diagnosed with AIDS. It seemed that Jodie not only wanted to humiliate her but also wanted to kill her. “You mean… that seat?” Amelie was very calm as she slowly stood up. Jodie let out a sarcastic huff and was just about to continue humiliating Amelie when Amelie suddenly said, “Why don’t you sit there yourself?” “You! How dare you order me to sit there?! I will kill you!” Jodie was an arrogant person. She always thought of herself as a noble princess. So, when Amelie didn’t obey her wishes, she could no longer bear it. She immediately raised her hand and attempted to slap Amelie. But Amelie was not afraid. Instead, she replied calmly, “Miss Alston, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. I’m sure it would be embarrassing for you if you get caught on camera.” Jodie had been maintaining the pure and noble rich girl image in front of everyone; the last thing she would do was allow her reputation to fall. So, no matter how furious she was at Amelie, she had to withdraw her hand. “Just you wait!” Since Jodie could not hit Amelie, she could only make threats. “Today, I will definitely make sure you sit next to Zach!” After she threatened Amelie, she gave her a hard look and flounced off. Not long after, Jodie came back with a man beside her. It was Xavier, Blake’s manager. “Mr. Conner, this woman doesn’t have an invitation letter, but she is sitting next to Blake!” Jodie accused loudly while pointing at Blake’s name on the seat with anger. Xavier did not know who Amelie was. So, when he heard what Jodie said, he came over to Amelie and asked politely, “Miss, do you have an invitation letter? If not, please leave.” “Sorry, I don’t,” Amelie answered calmly. There was a smug look flashing across Jodie’s face when Jodie heard that, but Amelie continued, “However, I’m Blake’s friend. He was the one who asked me to sit here.” “What a sick joke!” Jodie laughed sharply upon hearing Amelie’s answer. “Don’t you know? Blake already has a girlfriend, and this seat is reserved for his girlfriend. So who do you think you are to take the seat he left for his girlfriend!?” Jodie knew that Blake had a girlfriend, but she had no idea it was Amelie. Nevertheless, Amelie could not be

bothered to explain. Instead, she merely said, “This position is indeed mine.” Xavier looked at Amelie, who remained composed, and was a little uncertain. So, he proceeded to call Blake. Meanwhile, Jodie gloated, “Let’s see what Blake will do after knowing that you have taken up his girlfriend’s seat!” Blake returned to where Amelie was sitting not long after the call. “Blake, this woman is so shameless. She has occupied your girlfriend’s place. Toss her out.” Jodie intentionally raised her voice so more people could hear what was happening. As soon as she did that, many people started gathering around them. When she saw that, she also yelled for security to humiliate Amelie, “Security, why don’t you throw her out?” “Who are you? Who do you think you are to throw my girlfriend out?” Blake questioned. He had always been gentle and shy, but now, he looked serious and aloof. “Your girlfriend?” Jodie’s face froze instantly, and she looked at Blake in disbelief. “How is this possible?” Blake reserved this position for his girlfriend. Could it be that… Amelie was his girlfriend? She was Blake’s most loyal fan. So when she came in and heard that he was in love, she was utterly despondent. Now that Blake’s girlfriend turned out to be her ex-sister-in-law, whom she had always looked down upon, it was very humiliating for her. She shivered and almost fainted on the spot. But Blake merely ignored her and sat next to Amelie. “Are you alright?” “Yes.” Amelie glared at Jodie coldly. Such a trivial character could not scare her. Due to the commotion, the organizer also came over and gave Jodie a dissatisfied look. Then, he hurriedly rushed to Blake and Amelie’s side to appease them. “Mr. Lambert.” Amelie looked at the person in charge and ordered, “Julia mentioned that Jodie would be coming, and here she is. Please move this chair over to Zach’s side since Julia will be sitting with us later.” Although the person in charge was unsure about Amelie’s identity, Julia had already called and told him to follow Amelie’s orders. He did not dare to hesitate and quickly moved the seat that Amelie pointed to the back. That seat belonged to Jodie! When Jodie saw that the staff placed her seat next to Zach’s, she trembled like a leaf. “Y-You! How dare you!” “What’s going on?” Melissa walked toward them and asked when she saw her daughter’s enraged expression.
