Chapter 124
“Don’t worry, Miss White, I won’t think too much about it. After all, Leo and I are childhood sweethearts, and the relationship between us is unmatched. So, even if I’m a bit willful, he’s willing to let it go. Sigh, sometimes I also feel helpless about his kindness. I hope he can stop focusing on me and care more about himself.”
Elyse said these words with a straight face. Although she was speaking to Julia, it was obvious that she was flaunting in front of Amelie and clearly showing off.
Julia nodded obligingly. “Yeah, Miss Clayton, you’re living a happy life. I’m so envious. Look, Leo is so handsome and driven. He was able to turn Genesis into a leading enterprise in Clouson City. Ordinary people can’t reach this level.”
Is this a compliment to me and Leo?
When Elyse heard Julia’s words, she couldn’t help being taken aback. In all honesty, Elyse could not believe Julia would say something like that. Julia was the most venomous person she knew. Besides, Elyse was Amelie’s love rival, so how could Julia praise Elyse? The more Elyse thought about it, the warier she became, and she became extremely tense.
On the other hand, Julia sighed and said, “Our Elie is different. What a tough life she has.”
After she sighed, the ears of the surrounding staff pricked up to hear the impending gossip. At that moment. most of the staff gathered quietly around Julia, Elyse, and Amelie.
“Mr. Alston loves you to the core, Miss Clayton. Since you don’t want to get engaged, he hasn’t mentioned the matter of engagement until now. Our boss has made official announcements several times to name Elie as the female proprietor of Starlight Media. This is something that she can’t even
reject. What’s more, he’s desperate to leave Starlight Media to Elie even before she marries him. Sigh, don’t you think it’s annoying to have such a useless boss?”
Julia spread her hands, tilted her head, and raised the corners of her eyebrows. The people around were eagerly waiting to hear Amelie’s tragic story, so they didn’t expect Julia to say that and burst out laughing.
Julia was not saying that Amelie was pitiful. She was clearly showing off the trust and support the boss of Starlight Media gave Amelie. On the other hand, Elyse had been in love with Leo for many years, yet he didn’t even arrange an engagement officially. Didn’t it mean that she was not favored by Leo?
The public quickly turned their sympathetic gazes to Elyse.
Amelie, who was next to them, had already guessed that Julia would not easily let Elyse go. Hearing what Julia said, she shook her head helplessly.
Julia, do you want Elyse to die in a fit of anger?
Elvse’s face was pale, especially when she saw the probing and pitying gazes from around her. She clenched

It took a while for Elyse to suppress the flames in her heart that wanted to burn Julia to death. Then, she smiled gently. “This proves that Miss Dillon is capable.”
Her voice was intentionally soft as if she was sincerely praising Amelie. When she opened her mouth, she appeared to be full of grace and generosity, which contrasted with Julia’s vicious words. Julia didn’t
expect that Elyse would secretly reverse the situation; her expression twisted wildly, and she wanted to retort. Just then, Amelie came over and pulled Julia to stop her.
Julia looked at Amelie puzzledly as Amelie said with a smile on her face, “My ability is naturally inferior to yours, Miss Clayton, and Starlight Media is also inferior to Rainbow Media where you work. Although Starlight Media is in the media industry, it’s just a peddler’s business selling small things, while you’re one of those big names, Miss Clayton. Julia, you need to be humble.”
Julia finally understood and nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, I have to apologize to you, Miss Clayton. Please forgive me for my transgressions.”
Elyse was speechless. Though Amelie’s words sounded flattering on the surface, Amelie was actually throwing shade at Elyse. After all, Elyse herself was getting worse day by day. Not to mention, Rainbow Media was going downhill now. When she returned to the country this time, she wanted to find some opportunities here.
Julia and Amelie kept saying that they were peddlers and wanted to lift her higher than themselves, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that the amount of money that live sale broadcasts brought was insanely high. The money earned from Julia’s one live broadcast was equivalent to Elyse’s several months of filming. The revenue of Starlight Media was countless times more than that of Rainbow Media! Just imagine, how shameful it is for someone who earned less than 5,000 a month to be flattered as a top-tier celebrity by a big shot who earned I
million a month.
To Elyse, this was not the most fatal issue yet. The fatal issue was that she also wanted to take the path of live broadcasting. Once Amelie said this, how could she have the face to work in this direction? Amelie was trying to kill her spirit and not let her survive!
Elyse was trembling with anger, and the expression on her face faltered. Immediately, her facial features began to twist in an ugly way. Amelie finished what she had to say and settled the bill. She didn’t want to waste time with Elyse, so she walked away. When she reached the door, she saw a tall man standing at the door. The man had dark eyebrows and he didn’t look at anyone, but he was so oppressive that others couldn’t breathe.
Seeing Leo, Amelie was taken aback. Her gaze turned to Elyse, and then she understood that Leo was here to go shopping with his beloved. In her memory, Leo was often so busy that he always had one meeting after another. He was so occupied yet he paused his job to accompany Elyse. This surely required a lot of love on his
pant.
“Leo, you’re here.” Elyse also saw Leo and immediately became pitiful with tears in her eyes. Although she didn’t say anything, she made it clear that she was bullied by Amelie.
Let’s go.” She took Julia’s arm and walked out. As she passed Leo, she didn’t even spare him a glance.
Leo’s eyes shifted to her and then her face. Amelie was wearing a very simple dress, which was not as fancy as before. Unlike in the past, she had light in her eyes; she was full of energy and had incredible vitality. When she walked, she held her head up and her chest out in a naturally relaxed manner. With that, she immediately emanated a great aura.
Even if Amelie was walking on the street, he probably wouldn’t recognize her. Was it the boss of Starlight Media who caused such a big change in her? His chest felt like it was suddenly blocked by something and he felt extremely uncomfortable!
Elyse noticed his gaze, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Leo had developed a good impression of Amelie? Before he figured out her identity, he had developed a good impression of her. If he knew that she was Big Eyes, Elyse would not have her way!
Originally, she wanted Leo to help her release her anger as well as affect Amelie’s mood negatively, but the result was unexpected. Afraid and anxious, Elyse couldn’t help touching her forehead. “Leo, I suddenly feel dizzy and uncomfortable.”
After saying that, Elyse fell into Leo’s arms. Only then did Leo come back to his senses; seeing her painful look, he quickly picked her up. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Amelie and Julia had just walked to the parking lot, and when they turned around, they saw Leo walking out with Elyse in his arms. Julia sneered, “What is he doing? Is he afraid that no one knows that they are in love to the extent that they have to express such a public display of affection?”
Hearing this, Amelie glanced in Leo’s direction. When she saw this, she raised her lips and let out a chuckle. Her gaze flickered a little before looking somewhere else. Knowing how nice Leo was to Elyse, she had already withdrawn her emotions from him, and she would no longer have any feelings for this man.
“Get in the car.” She opened the car door with the remote.
The two walked toward the car. At this moment, a strong strobe of light suddenly lit up in front of them, causing them to be unable to open their eyes. Amelie had to squint her eyes, just in time to see that it was a motorcycle that was out of control and was speeding toward her…..
