When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Elyse was looking at Amelie from not too far away. Amelie, who had done a round of cleaning, naturally

looked sloppy, with her messy hair and sweat-covered forehead. However, her eyes shone bright like

stars. Elyse looked away displeasedly, and the natural sense of superiority that she possessed made her

lift her head high like a swan, and it made her look taller than Amelie. Amelie didn’t want to see her at all,

so she left without greeting her.

“Miss Dillon, why not hand over Bria’s custody rights?” Elyse turned her body slightly and demanded

without even greeting her.

“Miss Clayton, are you confused or something? Why would I hand over Bria’s custody rights?” Amelie

paused her footsteps and looked at Elyse.

Not only did Elyse not get mad after hearing what Amelie said, but she also covered her mouth with her

hand as she smiled. “Leo and I will be getting married soon, so her daughter will naturally be my

daughter. Moreover, it might be challenging for you to raise a child since you seem to have broken up

with the owner of Starlight Media. As a mother, I’m sure you’d want the best for your child. Leaving her in

the care of the Alston Family is the best for her, isn’t it?”

“If you send Bria to the Alston Family, you’ll have a chance at finding your happiness too. I see that the

man before this was pretty decent. He must be quite financially stable too. Instead of keeping your child

with you and keeping constant contact with your ex-husband, you should be married off to a good man

and get a taste of what happiness is like.”

As Amelie listened to her sarcastic remarks, she finally understood something. “Are you suspecting that

the reason I took Bria with me was just so that I could keep in touch with Leo?”

“Isn’t it so?” Elyse smiled. She was grinning, but her eyes were filled with anger.

“Miss Clayton, a few years back, you had intervened in our relationship and ruined it. It had caused Leo

and I to be separated from each other for the last four years. I didn’t care about these, but I am willing to

give you a chance to be happy. I believe that I’m already being very generous.”

Elyse’s shamelessness had triggered Amelie, and Amelie had decided to speak her mind since there

was no reason to hide them anymore!

“Miss Clayton, the way you speak might give other people who aren’t aware of it the impression that you

are the victim. Are you sure that I was the one who came between both of you?!”

“Was I wrong?” Elyse seemed unfazed by Amelie and refuted, “To be honest, there was nothing between

me and that man, and our relationship could be easily explained. It was because of your involvement that

things started getting awkward, and I could only let you have Leo while I endured the pain of losing him.”

“I took your feelings into consideration and only explained to Leo after a year.” Elyse’s gaze was somber,

but she smirked as she spoke.

“One year later?” Amelie didn’t seem well after hearing that.

Throughout those four years, Leo was initially cold toward her, and that was it. A year after their

marriage, which was not long after she gave birth to Bria, he would occasionally visit Bria. One day, he

sent her a text telling her that he was going on a business trip and that he would reconsider their

relationship when he was back. When Amelie thought of how he was starting to warm up to her, she

thought that he had finally decided to accept her. She was so glad about it and waited patiently for his

answer.

However, when he got back, Amelie noticed that not only was he colder toward her, he had gotten hostile

as well. Since then, he had allowed his family and friends to bully her. It turned out that he had met up

with Elyse during his business trip, and she uttered the same words to him. Amelie couldn’t suppress her

rage anymore as she was fuming with anger. The reason Elyse did so was so that Amelie would suffer!

All those years, Amelie chose not to argue about it, but since Elyse had stepped on her, she decided not

to hold back anymore.

“Miss Clayton, it seems like you have a poor memory. Back then, when the reporters asked whether you

cheated, you were silent for five whole minutes. Isn’t that five minutes sufficient for you to clarify the

situation? Even if the reporters didn’t believe your words, Leo was standing next to you. I’m sure that

he’d be willing to hear you out.”

Elyse narrowed her gaze and was lost for words after hearing what she said. She had always thought

that Amelie wasn’t a presentable woman. However, at that moment, what Amelie said was spot on, and

she could even predict what Elyse’s answer would be. Elyse was left with no grounds to refute her

remarks.

With that, Amelie nonchalantly walked around Elyse and said, “Miss Clayton, if it wasn’t for my

appearance, your cheating scandal would have been confirmed, and your reputation would have been

ruined four years ago. If that had happened, you wouldn’t have had the opportunity to stand in front of

me and claim that you’re the victim. You are, in fact, indebted to me. I never expected you to pay me

back for it, but please don’t appear in front of me and sputter such ungrateful nonsense!”

Elyse was once again lost for words as she froze on the spot with a grave expression on her face. The

proud look on her face had disappeared! She was so mortified that she couldn’t even feel her fingernails

snapping within her tightly clenched fists. She had gone from being the victim to the beneficiary while

Amelie, who had made her lose Leo had become her savior. How could the proud Elyse accept such an

account?

“Right, you said that there was nothing between you and that man, so could it be that something was

wrong with my eyes? Both of you were naked, so don’t tell me that you guys were just chatting in bed,

naked? Could you even believe your own words?” As Amelie looked at Elyse, a figure standing not far

from them caught her attention.
