Chapter 36

At that moment, Amelie slapped the person instinctively.

“It’s me, Elyse!” said the person. Then, he opened up the flashlight on his phone. From the faint light,

Amelie could see a man with a buzz cut He had an arrogant and unruly face.

At the same time, the person also saw her. Then, his concerned eyes turned cold, and he pushed her

away in disgust while saying, “How is it you?”

Only did Amelie know who he was when she heard his voice. “Ashton?”

It was obvious that he had mistaken her for Elyse.

At that moment, Ashton took a big step backward, frowned in irritation, and huffed. Then, he took out a

tissue before her and wiped his hands. Although he didn’t say anything, his actions were enough to

prove that he did

not welcome Amelie.

Knowing that Ashton disliked her, Amelie turned and left since she did not intend to stay and watch

Ashton’s reaction. However, as soon as she was about to leave, Ashton called out and said, “Do you

have to be this disgusting, Amelie?”

Then, he threw the tissue on the ground harshly and stepped on it with his leather shoe. While crumpling

the tissue with his foot, he said, “Do you think that Leo would acknowledge you if you sound like Elyse

and dress like her?” As he spoke, he kicked the crumpled tissue and glared at her in contempt.

Hearing his words, Amelie looked at her Chanel dress. It was an exclusive brand, and it was only normal

for her to own it given her status. As for her voice, she recalled that Julia had said something similar as

well.

“You are a clown! No matter how much effort you put in, you are still different from her, looking hideous

as ever! I’d advise you to stop with such sickening actions!” Ashton’s words were harsh. After he finished

his words, he stuffed his hands in his pocket and walked past her arrogantly.

Just as he was about to walk away, Amelie called out for him and stood in front of him. To his surprise,

she was not mad but smiling. “Where do you live, Ashton?” she asked.

When Ashton heard her words, he looked at her in confusion and wondered why she was smiling and

caring. about where he lived when he had said such terrible words toward her. However, her following

words were like a slap to him. “Let me guess; you probably live in a swamp since you’re so vile!”

Hearing her words, Ashton’s ears were red from embarrassment. At that moment, his arrogant face

darkened.

Usually, Amelie would endure his hatred toward her because of Leo since they were at the Alston

Residence. However, since she and Leo had divorced, there was no way she would still need to bear the

mocking of Leo’s friends

After Amelie finished her words, she pursed her lips and smiled casually. Although she didn’t say

anything more, Ashton could still sense the mockery she had for him!

“How dare you?” He gripped his knuckles in anger.

However, Amelie didn’t give him a chance to speak and continued, “There are many people who wear

Chanel in this world If what you said is true, is everyone trying to imitate Miss Clayton?”

Hearing her words, Ashton widened his eyes in shock while looking at her. In his memory, Amelie was

always a cautious and uptight woman, seemingly as if she had never experienced life. Even when he

mistreated her in front of Leo, she never dared to retaliate, but things had changed now, and she was

speaking to him sarcastically

As a person who was born into a noble family, Ashton was arrogant and had never been talked back to

by anyone. Thus, when he heard Amelie’s words, his face darkened, and there was fury in his eyes.

Despite that, Arnelie didn’t indulge him and continued, I’m afraid you might have hearing issues since

you

can’t even tell that this is my actual voice when you have been at the Alston Residence for so many

times. Thus, I’d advise you to see a doctor and perhaps check if there is anything wrong with your brain.

After all, you are the young master of the Lowe Family. If you are acting like a fool, you’ll only humiliate

yourself!” Then, she ignored him and flipped her hair, striding away.

Did she… just scold me? Glaring at Amelie’s figure with wide eyes, Ashton thought to himself and

twitched his fingers. Then, he punched the guardrail hard and cursed, “Damn it!”

Once Amelie was done with everything, she went home, hugged Bria, and slept in satisfaction. She had

to get up early tomorrow morning since she had to return to her father’s place.

To be honest, Amelie had bad sleep quality. When she lived at the Alston Residence, Leo would come

home late every day, and Melissa would order her to open the door for him. Although this was supposed

to be a servant’s job, Amelie was happy to do it since she was deeply in love with Leo. Besides, this was

the only time she could see and talk to him.

Since Leo was impatient and would kick the door in a tantrum when no one opened the door for him on

the first knock, Amelie didn’t dare sleep soundly when he was not around, afraid that Bria would be

disturbed in her sleep. So, to avoid getting Leo mad, Amelie would open the door as soon as she heard

the car engine. Even though she was met with Leo’s cold face every time she opened the door for him,

she was happy to oblige. Sometimes, when Leo didn’t come home all night, she didn’t even dare call him

and would pull an all- nighter instead.

Thinking about what she had done for him in the past, Amelie felt that she was a fool blinded by love.

Now that she didn’t have to worry about Leo’s return, she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

While Amelie was sleeping soundly, Leo was drinking at Prix Bar. At this moment, Amelie’s words

engulfed

him.

During those years, he was furious that Amelie had set him up. Hence, he never treated her like she was

his wife despite being married. Not only that, he didn’t even treat her like a human being.

Visiting his father’s grave was a mere formality, so he had subconsciously left her by the road when

Elyse called him. At that moment, it didn’t occur to him if Amelie was pregnant or if she could return

home! After that day, she disappeared for a couple of days, but he didn’t care since he wished she would

disappear

forever in his heart!

Then, she returned and looked skinnier than before, staggering wherever she went. When he saw her,

he thought she was acting and still ignored her. Moreover, he even allowed Jodie to cause her trouble.

Did she have a miscarriage back then? Leo thought to himself.

Although he did things the hard way and had a heart made of stone, he never wanted to cause a woman

to starve and freeze to the point where she would have a miscarriage. As Leo thought about it, he felt a

sharp pain in his heart as he felt guilty.

At that moment, Laura, who was wearing casual attire, walked toward him and said, “Mr. Alston.” Then,

she eyed him secretly and was startled momentarily when she saw the depression in his eyes. However,

she didn’t ask about it and said in a low voice, “I have investigated what you told me to. During the day

you and Miss Dillon divorced, there were 158 couples who divorced as well. I checked their work units,

but no one seems to be Starlight Media’s boss. Then, she added, “I’m sorry that I couldn’t find the

divorce registration for Starlight Media’s boss.”

Hearing her words, Leo gripped his glass tightly. After a while, he snapped out of his thoughts and

looked at her while frowning However, he smoothened his eyebrows quickly. His expression was calm as

he said, “There’s no need to investigate this matter further.”

“Alright. It just so happens that Elyse doesn’t want you to investigate it too. When I was on my way here,

she even told me to do her a favor and wished that you would no longer cause trouble for Amelie. You

indeed treated Elyse differently. Laura’s tone had a hint of cheerfulness as she spoke.

When Leo stood up and heard her words, he stiffened. Although he did intend to leave Amelie alone, he

didn’t do it because of Elyse’s favor but because of Amelie herself.

Amelie is right. No matter how miserable I felt during the set-up, the Alstons did benefit from the

situation. Hence, I am willing to let her off the hook and… cut ties with her, Leo thought.

Thinking about it, he ordered Laura coldly, “From now onward, no one is allowed to talk about Amelie or

the boss of Starlight Media.”

“Yes,” said Laura.

Then, Leo looked at her with a dark gaze and said, “Also, please help me look into something else.”
