Chapter 23

Want Amelie Torn to Pieces

Jodie lifted her chin up high and held it up with a hand.

She tilted her eyelids at just the right angle to shoot Amelie a look as full of disdain as her smirk.

“The difference between the two of us is like the difference between a beast and an elite human, Amelie,”
she stated.

“Be it among the Alstons or in Starlight Media, I am always at the top of the pyramid.

I always have the best.

You can squeeze that tiny brain of yours all you want, but you can only be at the bottom of the pyramid.

Like a puny ant, you do not even deserve to be trampled on by someone like me! Even so, all you can do
is stay for a brief period in those places,” she continued.

“You have stayed in my home for four years.

In this company, I don’t think you can last more than a few hours, even if you work as a janitor.

So, cherish it well.”

Frankly speaking, Amelie had done nothing to make Jodie hate her.

In fact, Amelie even let Jodie walk all over her.

However, it was human nature to develop superiority complexes.

If someone who one viewed as a nobody continued being a nobody, it would be seen as just how the
world worked.



The moment the nobody displayed any sort of talent that overshadowed them, it was considered an
offense.

It would be considered the worst offense ever.

Ever since the divorce, Amelie had been hanging out with so many amazing people that Jodie felt
humiliated.

The humiliation happened every single day, and it hit her where it hurts most.

Not only did she feel embarrassed, her guts were all twisted together in agonizing fury.

She wanted to put Amelie in her place.

Amelie should continue being a nobody!

Moreover, she had to live an even more tragic life than before.

“What is all that noise? Come here already!”

Just then, the head of the Janitorial Department called out to them.

They had been standing in the hallway for quite a while now.

“See?” Jodie haughtily said.

“Look at you.

They don’t even need to ask who you are before assuming you are a janitor.”

“Good luck.”

She then waved at Amelie.



She so wanted to humiliate Amelie further, but the manager she spoke to said every new hire had to
report to their departments for training right away.

Hence, she had to leave.

Just when she turned to leave, Amelie suddenly reached out and grabbed her by the wrist.

“This is where you are working.”

There was a heavy emphasis on the word “you”.

Jodie scowled and nearly flew into a fit of rage.

How dare Amelie try to humiliate me this way!

She was so furious that she forgot about her new job and raised her hand to slap Amelie.

“New janitor, Jodie Alston, please step forward.

Staff from other departments should leave now so that we may work.” The head janitor walked over
looking them up and down.

“Who is Jodie?”

Jodie was at a loss for words.

She stared at the head janitor in disbelief as her arm hung in the air.

“You must be mistaken,” she exclaimed.

“I am here to be a streamer!”

The head janitor held up a list of names and pointed out the words “Jodie Alston, Janitorial Department”.



“There must’ve been a mixup!” Jodie had put Amelie out of her mind by now.

She quickly dashed back up to the interview room to speak to the manager to whom she had spoken.

“What is the meaning of this?” she shrieked.

“You assigned me to the Janitorial Department? I will sue you!” She was so angry that she was panting
hard.

“What are you going to sue us for?” Julia asked before the manager could say a word.

She leisurely walked into the room.

The sight of Julia seemed to have made Jodie realize something.

“You worked together with Amelie to humiliate me!”

Julia raised her lips in a disdainful smirk.

How could someone so stupid have the gall to dream big?

If Amelie had not been holding back the entire time, Jodie would have died several times over by now.

“This is merely work.

How can it be considered humiliation?” While Julia would never verbally admit to it, the taunting look on
her face was clear for all to see; what could Jodie do anyway?

Jodie seethed upon seeing that look.

“Just you wait!” she shouted.

“My brother will hear about this.



You are dead!”

“Our society abides by the rule of law,” Julia shot back.

“Your brother is not the law.

No matter how powerful he is, he cannot kill whomever he pleases.”

She then flung the contract at Jodie.

“Furthermore, you signed this contract out of your own free will.

You agreed to work in the Janitorial Department, yet you are now screaming about your innocence.

Who do you think the judge will favor?”

Jodie looked down at the contract.

It was only then that she realized the position listed was “janitor”.

“H-How can it be?” she stammered.

“We also have audio recordings,” said Julia.

“The Legal Department has clearly reminded you to carefully read through every term listed in the
contract.”

“We did not hide anything.

It is so simple that even a kid can understand it.

Is it too hard for you, Miss Alston?”



That was not the case though.

Jodie had merely skimmed through the contract without reading it.

She thought since she applied to be a streamer, she would naturally have been given the appropriate
contract.

In the end…

She was just mocking Amelie, saying she was only fit to be a janitor.

Now, she was the janitor and not Amelie!

The humiliation…

It was too much.

The whirlwind of emotions within her was so strong that her face twisted into an unpleasant look.

“I quit!” She threw the contract away and strode toward the exit.

“Do think it through, Miss Alston.

Terminating a contract with Starlight Media means other companies might not take you on,” remarked
Julia.

She then slowly sipped her cup of coffee.

“Of course, you have someone to pay for your expenses.

There is no fear of starvation.



If worse comes to worst, marry a man and spend the rest of your life mooching off of him.”

“Well, such a woman would likely be looked down upon,” Julia continued.

“After all, that means she is good for nothing!”

The phrase “good for nothing” was extremely triggering for Jodie.

That was the phrase she frequently used when insulting Amelie.

Was she now going to be viewed in the same light as Amelie?

Amelie was a nobody!

Meanwhile, Jodie was a refined woman.

How could an elite like her be compared to a nobody?

Anger and frustration warred within her.

In the end, she flung the doors open and stomped out.

“Miss White, I… I do not think this is a good idea.

She is Leo Alston’s sister.

That means we have now offended him,” the manager uneasily said.

Julia pursed her red lips and scoffed.

“As if he had not offended us before,” she replied.

Moreover, she was more afraid of not offending the man.



Of course, that b*stard would soon be taught a lesson too.

At that thought, Julia was in a better mood again.

Jodie ran out of the Starlight Media office and hopped into her car.

Memories of the humiliation she suffered made her scream and shout while hitting everything she could
reach within the car.

However, no matter how much she screamed, she received no relief from the hatred burning in her.

She clenched her hands tightly around the steering wheel.

“Just you wait, Amelie Dillon.

How dare you embarrass me!”

She pulled out her phone and dialed Carla’s number.

“Carla, get me Starlight Media’s president’s wife’s phone number.

Now!”

“Why do you want her number?” asked Carla.

“Why else? Of course, it is because I want Amelie dead! I want her torn to pieces!” Unable to hold back
her temper, she roared into the phone.

“If that’s the reason, then there is no use,” Carla replied.

Jodie had been waiting for the wife to deal with Amelie.

Just what did Carla mean by that?



She was about to shout when Carla sent her a new article.

It was about a statement released by the president of Starlight Media.

What she read made her gasp.

“H-How can this be?”

She had just been humiliated, but before she even had a chance to strike back, another wave of
humiliation struck her once more.
