Chapter 134

Seeing how livid Julia was, Amelie couldn’t help looking at her phone.

It was a comment from Elyse, saying, ‘All-round development remains undefeated.”

“What is she trying to say? That you’re beneath her? That you’re only good at singing and dancing and

nothing else?! What is she, blind?! Has she forgotten how you destroyed her on the racetrack?!” Julia

scowled in anger. “Blabbering like a true b*tch who blows her own trumpet!”

“She’s trying to use me to make herself popular again.” Amelie smiled as she saw through the woman’s

schemes.

Sure enough, comments flooded in beneath Elyse’s comment within a few minutes.

Some agreed with her, while others compared her to Amelie. A few also dug out her past works one by

one.

Meanwhile, Julia scrolled speedily while skimming through them. She snorted before saying, “Surprise,

surprise! Clayton sure knows how to promote herself.”

“She was considerably sought after four years ago, but sadly, she barely made a name for herself

abroad since then, so the public gradually forgot about her very quickly. Plus, new celebrities are

popping up one after another. She is long a self-proclaimed A-lister.” Amelie analyzed Elyse crisply and

accurately.

She hadn’t said all that to devalue Elyse but was merely stating facts through data analysis.

“Are you saying that she plans to regain popularity by trampling over you? Huh, shameless woman!”

Julia couldn’t help grumbling. At the same time, she spit on her screen. “She wants to get popular by

trampling over you, eh? Fine, I’ll help her out!”

With that, she got down to work, her fingers darting across the screen.

Amelie, on the other hand, wasn’t bothered by Elyse’s ridiculous move and didn’t care what Julia was

doing either. She just went back to what she had been doing earlier.

After finishing breakfast and cleaning up. Amelie checked the news and found a pinned clip. More

accurately, two clips were put into one.

One was a snippet of the TV show Elyse had starred in, and the other was a clip of Amelie’s acting. She

had reenacted Elyse’s scene on the spur of the moment when she was bored.

The only difference was that she wasn’t wearing a costume, so anyone could tell it was casual filming.

The user who uploaded the clips merely left a caption that read, ‘No comparison, no harm.”

scoring. In the end, apart from props and costume, Amelie’s score in the other three categories was way

above Elyse’s.

Just like that, the comments all shifted to Amelie, and those who commented about Elyse all began

criticizing her for being just eye candy.

In fact, some even dug up quite some dirt about Elyse, all of which were complaints from directors or

fellow actors who had worked with her, saying she either tried too hard or was just expressionless.

The number one comment she got was, ‘She could act a thousand characters, but all of them share one

soul.”

Following that, a wave of netizens scoffed at Elyse for being shameless, making snide remarks about

other people, and pretending to be a mentor when she was just average.

Amelie skimmed through the comments and shook her head. She didn’t need to ask to know that the

clips were Julia’s handiwork.

Meanwhile, compared to Amelie’s calmness, Elyse was already on the verge of breaking down.

She posted the comment for two reasons; one, to slander Amelie, and the other, to boost her exposure,

but who’d have thought she would be berated in less than an hour?

She clenched her phone in anger as she read the chain of blunt and harsh comments. She was so livid

that her lips trembled violently while her usually stunning face was in a grimace.

Meanwhile, the comments were still flooding in, and the accusations and criticisms were making her

mad.

Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. She dropped her phone and covered her ears tightly.

Suddenly, her ringtone blared, but she remained motionless, refusing to answer it.

Hence, her landline rang in no time.

At that, Elyse rushed to answer it, for only Leo and her manager knew her landline number. “Hello?”

“What the heck are you trying to do, Elyse?!” Her manager flipped out.

Elyse’s heart sank in response. She thought Leo had called to ask about her.

In the past, he would always be the first to call her whenever she was in trouble.

But now, she could only swallow her disappointment and whimper, “It was just a casual comment. How

would I know someone would use it against me?!”

“Just a casual comment? How would you feel if someone did this to you?!” her manager scolded angrily.

Indignation overcame Elyse as she listened to her manager caterwauling.

Back when she was still the apple of Leo’s eyes, her manager would have never dared to speak to her

like this.

These people treat others by how powerful and influential they are!

“How do you plan on sorting this out, then? You can’t let them yell at you forever. Why don’t you ask Mr.

Alston to back you up, then announce something to divert everyone’s attention?” her manager

suggested, and this naturally implied Elyse’s engagement or marriage to Leo.

However, Elyse felt downhearted after hearing it.

She had already groveled to Leo, but he never said anything about it.

Could she reveal that to her manager? Of course not! In the end, she just said, “He has such a packed

schedule. How can I bear to have him step in for something so minor? Later, I’ll have the assistant tweet

and clarify that she used my account to post that comment, and this will be over.”

Being a tricky one, her manager could naturally sense a shift in Elyse and Leo’s relationship. However,

she didn’t point it out but only said, “We’ll do that, but you and Mr. Alston haven’t been showing much

PDA online since your return. Elyse, you have to seize the moment and capture more of your loving

moments.”

“I got it,” Elyse mumbled before hanging up.

Following that, she called her assistant and gave some instructions before flopping onto her bed and

burying her face in a pillow.

Nothing had been going smoothly for her since returning home, and it was mostly thanks to Amelie.

At that, she flipped around, sat up, and twisted her bedsheets in anger like it was actually Amelie for a

moment before feeling a little better.

“Never mind. Everything will be fine after Dillon returns to Halport,” Elyse mumbled.

She could tell Amelie genuinely felt nothing for Leo anymore, and once the latter took Bria away and

disappeared from Leo’s sight, she would have all the time in the world to amend her relationship with Leo

Two days later…

Though it was already past midnight, the lights in Alston Residence remained brightly lit as Melissa sat

on the couch grimly.

“What is the meaning of this, Leo?!” She shot up from her seat and questioned Leo the second he

returned.
