Chapter 388
Chapter 388 Leave the Alston Residence
Everyone's eyes were focused on the projector in the classroom. At that moment, the projector was playing a video of a trial scene. The judge said two names and listed out their crimes and prison term.
"Hey... Are they the same person in the video?" Soon, someone noticed that the man and woman were the same people who wore orange clothes that imprinted the name of the prison and were standing on trial.
"Are they scammers?"
"There are still videos of them. Do you guys want to see?" asked Gladys. She subconsciously imitated Amelie as she smiled.
Fortunately, Amelie had predicted that they would be difficult to deal with and asked me to check their records. I was very shocked when I saw their past. Moreover, Amelie had even foreseen that they would smash my phone and told me to use the school's projector to show it. I'm glad I listened to her. Otherwise, my phone will be destroyed, and no one will see the video.
Everything was clear, whether it was their names, ID number, or the trial. As long as the crowd searched it up, they would see it. At that moment, no one was suspicious about it anymore.
When the man and woman saw their identities had been exposed, they knew they had failed to accomplish the mission. Thus, they shoved the people around them and tried to run off. However, they were soor stopped by the police, who just came in. "How dare you guys try to hurt others? Hurry up and get back with us!" demanded the police.
As Gladys watched them being taken away, she clapped her hands and smiled brightly. "The police will soon give us a report about their wrongdoings. If anyone still doesn't believe our exam, you can check the papers. You can even quit the training camp if you want to. We will do our best to cooperate with you."
However, no one wanted to give up. After all, they had put so much effort into being accepted by Knowlit. Since Knowlit was innocent, they decided to continue with the lesson.
Looking at their reactions, Gladys was satisfied. "Okay. Can we continue the lesson now?"
When the reporters and streamers saw that it was a fraud, they had nothing to say and took the initiative to leave. Soon, the room was back to silence.
On the other hand, Jodie was dumbfounded when she saw the live stream. "H-How did this happen?" I did it all perfectly. How did Amelie...
Chandler sighed helplessly. As expected. Amelie is smarter than I thought.
At this moment, the live stream that Jodie watched had a stir.
"Guys! There is another big news! Just a minute ago, the wealthy ex-husband of Foxy, who was rumored to be framed, had responded to this matter himself! Go and check it out!" The streamer's charming voice sounded. Then, the screen changed, and a video was shown.
In the video, Leo was standing in front of the camera with a stern look. "I am the ex-husband of Amelie, who is also Foxy. I am here to clarify that all the scandals about us are fake. If anyone dares to frame her and rake her reputation into the mud, I will not go easy on them!"
The video was shorter than ten seconds, but it went viral as soon as it was posted.
'What is this? Is the ex-husband defending his ex-wife?'
'Foxy is being framed?'
'I bet Leo didn't want anyone to know he was forced to marry her. After all, he is a successful businessman. He cares about his reputation.'
'Are you deaf or something? Did you hear what his last words were? If he cares about his reputation, why did he say not to frame Foxy deliberately?' 'Yeah.'
'Honestly, I wouldn't say anything more if I cared about my reputation.'
'I might even slander Foxy!'
'I am an acquaintance of Foxy and Mr. Alston. I can tell you that there is something between them. They had taken part in a show, and Mr. Alston was obviously trying to get her back.'
'Are you talking about 'Show Your Love'? I watched it too. It was pretty obvious. If Foxy were to maltreat Mr. Alston, why would he try to get her back?'
After some discussion, everyone chose to believe Leo and Foxy.
"Leo!" Jodie couldn't believe that Leo, who had a cold personality, would speak up for Amelie. Anger filled her heart, and she almost fainted from it. Initially, she had expected that things would turn over after this. However...
Chandler was silently watching how things had turned out on Jodie's phone. When he saw Jodie crying hysterically, he let out a satisfied smile.
This is great! The more Leo wants to stay away from Amelie, the more I want to get them together. It's a pleasant sight to see him being extremely uncomfortable after coming in contact with her! Accept your fate, Leo. After all, you won't be able to experience this feeling that easily in the future!
In the meantime, Amelie was busy. After she had told Gladys to solve the conflict at the training camp, she asked Samuel to investigate who spread the rumors. It was quite easy to find the whistleblower. Soon Samuel found out it was Jodie and sent the information along with the evidence to Amelie.
"Jodie is the one behind this and what happened at the training camp," reported Samuel.
Hearing his words, Amelie nodded. She was not surprised that it was Jodie's doings. After all, no one would do such a thing except for Jodie. However, she was also surprised since she thought that Jodie would have left her alone after being defeated by her multiple times. However, she wondered why Jodie would cause trouble for her when they were far away from each other.
Lately, she felt that something was off.
"Hey, Samuel. Can you check if Jodie had anything to do with what happened at Mospal? See if you can find something new," she said.
"Okay." Samuel was amazed at how sharp-witted Amelie was, as he was also planning to do so. Before he hung up the phone, he said, "I think you might not be able to use the evidence I just gave you." "Why's that?"
"Go and look at what Leo did."
After hanging up the phone, Amelie remembered that Julia had reminded her that Leo had done something. However, she was so busy dealing with other matters that she didn't have the time to see what it
was.
After being dazed momentarily, she typed Leo's name on her laptop. Within seconds, many news articles popped up on her computer. The most relevant news was the video he had posted not long ago. Looking at the video, Amelie clicked open and watched it. She was stunned when she saw the content. Is... Is he helping me?
Three hours later, Amelie finished her stream and rubbed her temples.
Usually, she would do a two-hour live stream. However, since many things had occurred on that day, the fans were worried about her, so she decided to explain more about it. After talking for three straight hours, her throat was burning. She took a few gulps of water before she felt better.
When she calmed down, her eyes landed on her phone again. After some time, she decided to call Leo.
"Hello?" Leo's cold voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Amelie didn't mind his tone, but she still gripped her phone tightly. "Thank you for today."
Immediately, he knew what she was saying. However, he said, "I'm not helping you."
He didn't explain any further.
Hearing his words, she didn't say anything and hummed in response.
Before she hung up on him, she heard him apologizing to her. Amelie was smart, and she knew exactly what he was apologizing for. Then, she smiled and ended the call.
Melissa demanded Jodie's presence at home. She was frustrated and complained as soon as she entered the house. "What are you doing, Mom? Why do you keep calling me? Why do you want me to come back? I'm already on the verge of going crazy. Can you stop causing trouble for me?"
However, it was a bitter voice that responded to her. "It was me who told Mom to call you."
When Jodie heard the voice, she looked over and saw Melissa sitting on the couch with a complicated expression while Leo stood beside her.
"Leo?" Jodie raised her eyebrow in surprise. After all, Leo was never one to care what she was doing. So...
"Here's your stuff." As Leo spoke, he nodded toward the servant to bring over the suitcase. "From today onward, you won't be staying at the Alston Residence anymore."
"W-What do you mean?" Jodie was shell-shocked by the irrational-sounding demand.
