When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Truthfully, I meant to challenge Amelie and Julia to this race. However, considering I am a celebrity with a

goddess-like character, I don’t think it’s wise for me to leave an impression of being competitive in the

eyes of the public. It was just a suggestion that I ingeniously mentioned briefly, yet Tina fell for it.

Whatever. Tina doesn’t even know that she’s being taken advantage of anyway. So, I have nothing to be

worried about. Still putting on a beautiful and delicate smile, Elyse nodded. “Yeah.”

After Julia was done asking Elyse, she got around behind the crowd.

Since everyone didn’t know what Julia was up to, their gaze followed her silhouette.

“Mr. Alston, do you agree to have this race too?” she asked with her lips raised as she stood in front of a

tall silhouette.

Leo had been standing there the whole time.

Usually, he would be the most prominent figure, no matter where he stood.

In fact, it had always been that way.

Many would notice him even if he stood in the most secluded and darkest spot.

However, the race between Amelie and Elyse earlier subverted too many circumstances that it

successfully diverted everyone’s attention away from Leo, causing him to be ignored.

The crowd, on the other hand, all showed meaningful expressions when they saw Julia coming to look

for Leo.

As Amelie’s superb performance in the race earlier drew plenty of attention, many who didn’t know her

before couldn’t help but be curious about her identity.

After asking each other, everyone now knew that Amelie was Leo’s ex-wife.

Considering that a triangular relationship involving an ex-wife and a first love had always been the most

intriguing topic, their interactions undoubtedly became a hot topic. Not to mention, Amelie and Elyse

even showed up on the same occasion at the same time.

They secretly praised Julia for even daring to provoke someone like Leo while anticipating Leo’s reply in

a gossipy manner.

As for Leo, he merely looked at Julia with those pair of obsidian-like eyes; not an ounce of expression

was seen on his handsome face.

He pursed his lips and didn’t make a sound.

Julia smiled. “After all, Miss Clayton is your darling lover. You seriously won’t mind if she races on such a

dangerous track late at night?”

Forget about the crowd present; anyone would overthink the current situation after they saw her looking

for Elyse and Leo.

At this moment, not only Tina, but the others, too, felt that Amelie lacked confidence. So, was Amelie’s

victory earlier a mere coincidence?

“Miss White, you can just pretend I never came up with this suggestion if you aren’t up for this race.” Tina

smiled and said with an expression as though she really understood Julia.

Even so, the meaning hidden behind Tina’s expression was as clear as day.

After that, she turned around and walked to her car.

“I didn’t say I was out, did I?” Julia’s voice came from behind. “I’m just afraid that Miss Clayton is being

overly impulsive so I’m clarifying with her in advance.”

Julia sounded so confident that even Elyse, who sat in the car, couldn’t hold back her facial expression

and was on the brink of cracking.

Julia is clearly implying that I can’t win against them! As she thought of this, Elyse tweaked her fingers so

hard that she broke several of her nails.

“Us? Impulsive?! You two are the ones who are impulsive!” As Tina was no match for Julia in terms of

knack, she instantly was on the brink of blowing a fuse.

Just when she was about to lash out her anger, Elyse jumped out of the car and held her back. “That’s

enough. Miss White was just being nice.”

After hearing that, Tina spoke nothing more and walked toward the car sullenly.

Elyse, on the other hand, gracefully walked up to Leo and said with a cutesy smile on her face, “Leo, I’ll

go race now.” The smile was so sweet and tender that even people around could feel its sweetness.

Initially, they expected that Leo would respond with the same amount of tenderness, displaying their

affection in public.

However, he showed no reaction for a long time.

Out of curiosity, everyone couldn’t help but look over and follow his gaze.

They saw Leo looking past Elyse and casting his gaze on the car stopped in front of the track-the car

which Amelie was in.

The reason for me to look for Leo after suffering so much aggravation is nothing more than wanting to

provoke Julia and Amelie. Yet, in the end, not only did I not get Leo’s attention, but he is checking on

Amelie instead! Elyse could barely hold the smile on her face. Annoyed, her face twisted so much to the

point it completely lost the sweet smile she had earlier.

In reality, Leo wasn’t thinking about anything else other than Amelie’s lack of response at this moment.

Julia, Elyse, and Tina have all expressed their voices. Only Amelie didn’t come to me. Even though she

has displayed her extremely strong racing skill just now, rally racing is completely different from circuit

racing. There are many uncontrollable factors in a rally. Racers who are good at circuit racing may not be

able to do well in rally racing. I’m just worried that Amelie might not have enough capability to compete in

rally racing. Then again, no matter how worried I am, why should I shamelessly remind Amelie when

even she stays silent?

As he thought of that, Leo gradually withdrew his gaze. Then, he nodded at Elyse. “Be careful.”

Only then did Elyse smile sweetly again. “I will.”

Then, she walked back to her car gracefully. When she passed by Amelie, she raised her helmet and

said, “Good luck.”

However, Amelie pretended not to see it.

The crowd, on the other hand, watched this interaction in silence.

Chris smiled and complimented, “She’s got quite a personality, hasn’t she?”

With that, Mr. Perez nodded. “Just my type.”

As soon as he said that, he suddenly felt a gloomy chill running down her spine. He turned around,

touched his back with a puzzled expression, and happened to meet Leo’s gaze.

Oh! What a scary gaze! “I-I was talking about Miss Dillon,” he explained while rubbing the back of his

head.

Mr. Perez wholeheartedly thought that Leo was angry with him because he misunderstood that he

fancied Elyse

Little did he know, it was better for him to keep his mouth shut in the first place, for the coldness in Leo’s

gaze became sharper and colder as soon as he said that.

Sensing this, Mr. Perez finally shut up.

As for Chris, he smiled meaningfully when he saw Leo’s gaze. All men share one common problem.

They can’t bear to watch other men eyeing even their ex-wives.

Thinking of this, Chris deliberately touched his hair and spoke loudly. “Say, what kind of man will my ex-

cousin-in-law be married to in the future for her second marriage?”

When Leo heard those words, he merely turned around to face Chris with his back.

All competing racers took their position once the rules of the race were set.

Chris sent someone to retrieve the surveillance footage along the track, asking them to display it on the

big

screen.

With that, the staff retrieved the surveillance footage. Soon, they adjusted the screen to show the starting

position.

In an instant, the image of both cars magnified in front of their eyes.

When they saw what Julia and Amelie were doing in their car, Chris shouted, “Damn!”

Besides Chris, Mr. Perez was also in the surveillance room. He, too, shouted, “My God! What are they

trying to do?!”
