Chapter 272

Holding her neck. Elyse coughed vigorously, nearly hacking her lungs out.

"You should know there's a price to pay for deceiving me." Leo's cold tone came from above her.

Still choking for her life, she felt tears rolling down her cheeks as this terrifying man stunned her. She

frilly believed Leo was adamant about strangling her to death earlier. Although she had always known

of his cruelty, it was today she realized she had underestimated him. There's no end to how cruel he

can be!

Up to this point, she knew’ she could not admit to her deeds no matter what. Once she did. she would

die a dog's death. Leo doesn't have any evidence anyway, and I didn't leave any signs behind.

With this in mind. Elyse clenched her teeth and nodded. "I did go to the race track that day and texted

Ashton to increase the difficulty of the track layout. I was upset inside and wanted to teach Amelie a

lesson. I never thought there'd be something wrong with the logs."

She communicated that rapidly out of fear that his grip might tighten around her neck if she spoke any

slower. The sensation of death, pain, and desperation was something she never wanted to experience

again.

"I mean, it was Amelie w’ho insisted on being completely blindfolded when Ashton kept emphasizing

only one eye was to be covered. If not for her stubbornness, such a dangerous tiling wouldn't have

happened, though it did prove her abilities. Even under those circumstances, she still came out

unscathed. I don't understand why you're suddenly pinning the blame on me. I-I-I feel so wronged."

Her tears started to fall, yet they stemmed from fear rather than aggrievement.

Still, she knew if the secret about Amelie's cornea remained unexposed. Amelie could only blame

herself for this incident at the end of the day. From the outsiders' perspectives, it w’as her ego that

caused her the consequences.

"Leony. if you care about her. you should talk her out of it. It isn't safe to be blindfolded for a bet."

Leo did not move. Although Elyse could not be trusted, he indeed saw Amelie competing blindfolded,

twice.

"Why is she so adamant about targeting you?" he asked.

Sensing that his tone had softened, she slowly stood up with her puffy eyes. "I don't know’ either. I've

been pondering ox er this and thought she might've misunderstood me. just like you did. Since she

saw’ me that day. she must've thought I was the one pulling the strings. That explains why she is so

fixated on mining me." she stated while drying her tears.

Coming from an actor background, Elyse w’as able to pull off a pitiful look with ease despite her subpar

acting chops. While she bit her lip. she looked at the ground all teary-eyed with tears dripping from her

cheeks. She perfectly illustrated how 'wronged' she felt.

"It better be just like what you said." Leo did not show any sympathy for the pitiful-looking w’oman

before him. As if liis heart had been frozen, he found it hard to be patient with her again. Then, he

turned around.

The fact that he was about to leave made Elyse realize she was safe. Placing her hands on her chest,

she breathed deeply.

"If—" The man did not begin walking. Instead, his cold voice echoed. "If I come to know you were lying,

you'll experience pain worse than death!"

Just as she thought she could relax, her breath was once again taken away by his words, causing her

to nearly suffocate.

The pair of shiny leather shoes then slow’ly disappear from her view. As she watched Leo's silhouette

disappear, she placed her hand from her mouth back onto her chest and gripped her clothes so tightly

to the point where the fabric stretched beyond recognition.

"Leony. is this what we've come to now’? You're all about protecting her." she muttered under her

breath jealously, paired with sarcasm.

Is he going to be shielding Amelie like this from now on? He doesn't even know she donated her

cornea to him yet! Why? Why is God so unfair?

Seeing that Leo still protected Amelie without prior knowledge of the secret. Elyse felt like she was

thoroughly humiliated. Sheer pain, humiliation, and embarrassment were tearing her apart from within.

"Leo? Why are you back?" In the middle of the night. Melissa went downstairs to get some water, only

to be shocked the moment she tinned on the lights.

It w’as under close observation before she found herself looking at her son. She was shocked to the

point of covering her mouth with her hands.

Although Leo was not completely wasted, he did drink quite an amount, so he was tipsy, to say the

least. Just as he was about to fall asleep on the couch, he w’as awakened by the ruckus as the lights

pierced through his eyes, rendering him unamused at his mother.

She walked over to him in her pajamas and scrutinized him. "Shouldn't you be with Foxy right now’?"

"Foxy?" He ruminated the word before understanding what she was talking about.

"So. you had something to do with Amelie coming to the bar?"

"What?! Amelie went instead?!" Melissa's expectations crash-landed. "Why w’as it her?" She was so

angry that she pulled on the hem of her pajamas.

I had my people call Foxy! That shameless woman must've arrived first! If so. what would happen if

Foxy got mad? Where will I find such a rich daughter-in-law’ again?

The reason why she was trying hard to get on Foxy's good side was not only because she thought she

was a suitable candidate for her son but because of the hundred million fans she had. With the number

of fans w’ho love and support her. no matter what she sells, it all culminates in at least tens of millions

in sales. This means a profit of. at the minimum, a billion! Who would miss such a God-given

opportunity?

Although the Alstons were rich, nobody would mind more money. Once Foxy gets married into our

household, we will go to the next level. Including the nation's wealthiest people, we might even become

the richest people in the world!

The tiling that mattered most to Melissa w’as her pride, for she always thought of ways to further

advance her inlierent sense of superiority. After discovering the existence of Foxy, she w’as no longer

satisfied being an individual of admiration by those from Clouson City and the nearby cities. Rather,

she wanted more! It would be best if I get treated like the First Lady!

Yet. her plan was mined by Amelie.

Angered beyond belief, she frowned so hard that her well-maintained skin suddenly popped a few’

wrinkles. Her good mood was thoroughly ruined by this news as she expressed huffingly. "That

shameless woman! I can overlook that she set you up in the beginning, but she's still clinging to you

after all this time! I think she never really wanted the divorce from the start. She just wants your riches

and the family's fame! I called the people to phone Foxy, so how did she get there first?" she exclaimed

while walking upstairs.

Watching her silhouette. Leo suddenly had an epiphany. The reason Amelie w’ent there today was that

she knew’ I was drunk. Did she go there just for me?
