A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 94

Chapter 94 You Can’t Win Against Me

Elyse forcefully suppressed her emotions and avoided looking into Leo’s disappointed and questioning eyes before announcing with a smile, “Leony and I are about to head on stage to slice the cake. How about having some before leaving?”

So what if things had come to this? Leo promised to announce our relationship after we cut the cake! Since Amelie dared to fool me, I won’t let her off so easily!

She reached out to grab his hand. “Leony, let’s go.”

As if the humiliating episode did not transpire, she smiled sweetly while looking at him with glistening eyes. She was sure he would not disregard his friendship with Big Eyes and put her in an awkward position.

As Elyse had expected, Leo followed her on stage.

“He’s hopeless!” Julia reprimanded. “I wanna crack open his head and see how empty it is!”

She was furious; had Samuel not stopped her, she might have gone over to hit Leo in the head.

Hanging her eyelids low, Amelie smiled. What went on in his head had nothing to do with her.

“Let’s go,” she urged.

Behind them, Elyse smiled victoriously when she saw Amelie leaving. Oh, Amelie, you can’t win against me!

Her lips had not fully hooked into a smile when a figure suddenly appeared and blocked the exit. “Where do you think you’re going?”

The ones blocked were Amelie and Julia, while Jodie halted them.

When Julia saw it was her, she frowned and was about to yell when Jodie announced with a raised eyebrow. “Elyse, why are you so hurry to cut your cake? Don’t tell me you’re rushing to announce your reconciliation with Leo. I’m sorry to tell you, but the Alston Family can’t afford to have a daughter-in-law like you, so I suggest you give up that thought.”

“Oh, wow…” Julia initially thought Jodie was there to find trouble with them, but she did not expect her to oppose Elyse.

Having said that, Jodie turned to look at Amelie. “I heard you and the head of Starlight Media have no connections, so the news of you guys being lovers is non-existent and false. In that case, you should get back with Leo.”

“What?”

Today’s gossip came one after another; the sister-in-law was now helping her brother get back with his ex-wife!

The bystanders were dumbfounded at the turn of events and were reluctant to miss every second of it.

Elyse fisted her hands while biting heavily down on her lip, desperately wanting to seal Jodie’s mouth tight!

“Shut up, Jodie!” Leo reprimanded her, clearly displeased with what he heard.

She snorted. “Leo, don’t treat me like an ignorant child. I might not know anything about business, but I know people! No matter what, Amelie is your first wife and has never gone out of the line since marrying you, unlike someone who cheated on you right after dating you. Amelie seems more

dependable! I don’t care if you enjoy getting cheated on, but I’ll be the first to object to Elyse marrying into our family! The Alston Family cannot afford such humiliation!” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Though she did not adore Amelie, she despised Elyse even more.

After she publicly exposed Elyse’s cheating scandals, Elyse turned ashen and was trembling so much that she could not stand still.

“She’s even better than me!” Julia generously gave Jodie a thumbs up. “I’ll take you in as my apprentice later!”

How thrilling!

Jodie continued, “Amelie, head home with me now. You have my full support!”

“No, thank you.” While taking a step back, Amelie shook her head calmly. “I no longer have feelings for Mr. Alston and have never considered remarrying.”

Once she finished, Leo scrunched his eyebrows tightly. Did Amelie just say that? How could she have rejected Jodie’s suggestion so decisively?

He did not support Jodie’s suggestion, but Amelie’s direct refusal felt like a sharp knife stabbed into his chest, making him utterly uncomfortable.

“Your brother has been contaminated for so long that Amelie feels disgusted!” Julia had the sharpest tongue of them all and described Elyse as trash.

At that, Elyse was furious and growled, “Julia, you’d better watch it!” She threatened her with her eyes, clearly indicating that she would use Leo’s authority to deal with her.

However, Julia smiled and walked toward Elyse. “Miss Clayton, although I don’t know why you invited me and Amelie, I would still like to wish you and Mr. Alston luck in bearing a child. I hope you’re luckier than Amelie, and I hope accidents like having your blood contaminated and having to draw them all out to save your child don’t happen to you!”

When Elyse heard that, she immediately turned as pale as a ghost, and her mind went blank.

“Julia!” Amelie called out, hinting at her to stop talking. Following that, she pulled Julia out of the venue.

This time, no one stopped them, but the atmosphere inside the venue became peculiar as the crowd realized that Julia’s words were implying something.

“What is she on about? Whose blood was contaminated?” Jodie’s voice was the first to break the air.

She looked at Elyse, who avoided her gaze and argued, “I don’t know.”

“Why would she deliberately target you if you don’t know?”

Having been forced into a corner by her, Elyse could only look at Leo. “Leony…”

Instead of answering her, he quickly ran after Amelie!

Outside the venue, Amelie and Julia hopped into the car, whereby Samuel was in the driver’s seat.

“Julia, you shouldn’t have said that,” Amelie reprimanded softly.

While giving birth to Bria, she realized that the blood transfused into her body had been tampered with, but she did not have any evidence. Moreover, Bria’s health was not optimal, and Amelie was focused on caring for her, so she never looked into that matter.

Recently, Julia asked for Samuel’s help to investigate it and discovered it was Elyse’s doing.

“Why can’t I? Elyse almost killed you and Bria. I’m already being generous by not sending her to jail!”

Julia paid the most attention to this matter but also felt the guiltiest. Had she been by Amelie’s side back then, Amelie would not have suffered so much pain.

While patting Julia’s shoulder, Amelie comforted, “I know you said that to help me, but I don’t want to disclose that in public.”

Feeling like something was weighing down on her chest, Julia replied, “I understand, but I can’t help it! Amelie, the pain you suffered back then… is so heartbreaking.” While saying that, she burst into tears.

Samuel watched his lover from the rearview mirror and silently sighed, feeling remorseful.

When Amelie returned home, she saw an angry Bria propping up her chin on her hands. She had been enjoying her time with Steven in the countryside and was reluctant to come home.

“She’s been acting like this since she returned from school and hasn’t spoken to anyone.” Chayanne Brown shook her head.

She was the new nanny Amelie hired to take care of Bria.

“Okay, Miss Brown. You can head home,” Amelie replied politely.

Chayanne nodded and left while Amelie approached Bria.

When Bria saw her, she pouted. “Mommy, I don’t want to be here. I want to be with Grandpa and learn to make shoes! Why don’t we head back there and be with him?”

Amelie resignedly picked Bria up. “I have my job here, and you must go to school, so we can’t live with Grandpa.”

Hearing that, Bria did not say anything but maintained a pout.

Amelie did not know how to comfort her, so she brought her daughter to the park to catch butterflies.

There were quite a few people and other children in the small park. It was then that Bria regained her smile and soon began playing with the other children.

While watching her frolicking around with her butterfly net, Amelie smiled faintly. Although I almost died back then, I still made it. Also, I can rest assured seeing Bria grow up healthily.

While lost in thought, she suddenly found someone staring at Bria from afar. Locking in on the person, she recognized who it was and immediately turned sour.
