When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Of course, Amelie knew what he had in mind, but she didn’t say anything about it and merely smiled. “I

still have the money from you. What amount of money would you like to invest? I’ll just

the money from there.”

use

“That amount is what I owed to you.” When she brought up the past again, his face fell, looking

discouraged. “Back then, you spent money and time on me. Not to mention the amount, even a billion

isn’t enough to pay you back.”

Unfortunately, before she could say anything to dissuade him of that notion, he had hastily stuffed the

card into her hands forcefully and said, “You know that I can’t be figure-skating all my life, and I’ll be

retired in a few more years. I don’t want to be without any security at that time. So, from now onward, I’ll

pass you all the money I earn, and you’ll manage it for me!”

He’s betting all of his riches on me, she realized, feeling rather stressed.

Nevertheless, he had a point; figure skating was a career he could pursue as long as he was young, and

nobody knew how long live commerce could sustain him.

So, his decision to save for a rainy day and make more investments when he could had been honestly

the correct path to take.

“Okay, I’ll take you in as a shareholder. She decided to keep his card. “When I get home later, I’ll allocate

you the shares according to the amount of money.”

Once Blake saw that she had accepted the money, he became very satisfied and nodded at agreeably

everything she said. They chatted for a little longer, but he felt worried for her because she had been

busy the whole day. So, even though he wanted to stay by her side for a few more minutes, he finally

decided to say goodbye and left.

As Amelie watched his slender back silhouette, she smiled softly, lowered her head, and wanted to keep

the card away in her bag. Yet, before the card could slip in, she felt it vanish between her

She thought that she was getting robbed, so she raised her head in shock, and her eyes met a pair of icy

eyes without warning.

Besides the chill, there was also anger, and the man furrowed his brows as his stunning face was filled

with emotions.

“L-Leo Alston?” Amelie stammered his name and couldn’t stop herself from looking around. Did he have

a business dinner around my house or what?

“Why didn’t you tell me that you need money?” He frowned deeply, and the look on his face. remained

angry. “I’m Bria’s father!”

She thought, But I’m not in need of money.

Leo whisked out his wallet from his pocket, flipped it open, picked out a card, and handed it to

her.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Alston, but did you get the wrong idea about something?” She tapped on Blake’s çard that

he was holding in his palm. “I don’t want your card. Please return my card to me.”

Leo’s scowl became deeper when he saw that she was insistent on him returning Blake’s card to her.

“What’s your relationship with him? Did you have sex already?”

His direct and rude words stabbed through her chest, and her face turned rigid and pale.

The polite smile she carried in the beginning gradually disappeared, and slowly, it turned into a stony

expression.

“Mr. Alston, this is my personal life. I don’t need to report my life to you.”

For the sake of ty, he and Elyse had played her like a fool. Although she didn’t want to question him

over that matter, it didn’t mean that he could push her around without any limits.

Her cold voice was akin to a knife made out of pure ice as it pierced him right in the chest and was

excruciating.

She didn’t clarify their relationship and merely blamed him for intervening in her personal life. – Clearly,

she had something going on with Blake.

So, it wasn’t his mother’s coercion that she broke off all connections with Starlight Media, but she purely

wanted to be with Blake?

He’s just a pretty boy, he scoffed silently. What’s so special about him that she likes? Does she have no

taste

at all?

At the same time, his face turned into a myriad of colors, from pale to utterly fuming crimson the next,

looking very nasty.

It became even worse when he imagined her underneath Blake in sweet lovemaking. It was as though a

bowl of acid had spilled over his chest-burning hot and painful!

“I’m not interfering in your personal life. I just want to remind you that you’ve promised my mom that

you’ll raise Bria with the money you earned, and I’m here to supervise you. If you can’t do that, send Bria

back as soon as possible!”

His words were cold and heartless, and when he finished speaking, he tossed Blake’s card at her chest.

But he didn’t leave immediately and merely watched her with dark, gloomy eyes as though waiting to see

if she would really pick up Blake’s card.

Amelie found it amusing and sneered when she heard his insults to her character.

Was she so timid in the past that it left a stereotype in the minds of the Alstons that she was useless and

couldn’t make a living for herself besides depending on a man?

“Don’t worry, Mr. Alston.” When she spoke again, her voice was bitterly cold and without a shard of

emotion. “I won’t use anyone else’s money since I already said that I won’t. If you’re still worried, you can

investigate and find out whether I’m capable of raising Bria or not.” Then, she took a deep breath and

spoke in an even icier voice, “At the same time, I wish that once you’re done with the investigations,

you’ll stop showing up in front of me to insult me. Even if I did cling to you without dignity in the past, that

was in the past. The Alstons had trampled on my dignity for four years as punishment. We should be

even now.”

After she said all that, she raised her chin indifferently and left without a backward glance. Behind her,

Leo stared at her back quietly, pursing his lips as tightly as he could.

He was here to give her some money so she wouldn’t be forced into a corner, but when he saw her

smiling at Blake and taking his card, a boiling fury ignited in his chest, and he started blurting all sorts of

demeaning words.

Nevertheless, he snapped back to reality once his phone started ringing. Only then did he set his

emotions aside and pick up the call. When he left, he called Victor’s number.

“Investigate something for me.”
