When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

A resentful Elyse had the urge to slap Amelie in the face. She lifted her chin and tried to agitate Amelie

with rude words. “I know you still can’t get over the fact that Leo dumped you. You went looking for Mr.

Steward to derail his plan, right?”

She has some wild imagination there, doesn’t she? Does she think I have so much free time to do such a

thing? Amelie did not have any regard for the woman at all, remaining languid without a word. However,

her silence made Elyse misunderstand further. She thought that she was right.

With a haughty expression, she said, “Let me give you some advice. Since you’ve hooked up with

Starlight Media’s boss, I suggest you stop making a scene. He’s interested in you, so he has decided to

help you by using his connections to let you meet up with Mr. Steward. However, if you still keep

pestering Leo, the boss of Starlight Media will get sick of you. If he decides to dump you, there won’t be

another wealthy man who is willing to accept you.”

There were some insinuations in Elyse’s words that showed her contempt for Amelie. Regardless, her

conceitedness came across as ignorant to Amelie. In the end, she still couldn’t help but burst out

laughing.

“Miss Clayton, everyone says that you’re beautiful and elegant, but why are you behaving like a brusque

woman in front of me now? Could the Miss Clayton everyone’s talking about being different from the one

I know?” Since she has decided to humiliate me, then don’t blame me for retaliating against her!

“You!” Elyse felt so embarrassed that her impeccable facial features started contorting.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll get some rest now.” Amelie cocked her head without a hint of politeness,

motioning for the woman to get lost.

Elyse was rendered speechless. She had come to realize that regardless of how she tried to compete

with Amelie, she would always be at a disadvantage. What’s going on? She was used to getting

compliments from others, so she couldn’t possibly put up with Amelie’s mockery. As such, instead of

leaving, she curved her lips into a sneer.

“You claimed that you’ve gotten over the fact that Leo divorced you, but your action says otherwise. If

you’ve accepted the matter, then stop making things difficult for Leo. Certainly, even if you do that, Leo

won’t think that you’re a capable person, nor will he even spare you a glance. I suggest that you give it

up at once, Miss Dillon.”

“I’d like to give you some advice as well, Miss Clayton.” Amelie rubbed the back of her neck. Initially, she

didn’t intend to be tangled up with this kind of woman. However, since the other party was determined to

be destroyed, she could only grant her wish.

She put on a faint smile and said, “Rather than overthinking things, you should probably spend more

time practicing your acting skills. After all, that’s how you make a living.” She was implying that Elyse

wasn’t a capable person at all.

Elyse was so enraged that she felt her blood rushing to her brain. She glared at Amelie with such hatred

that it was as though she wanted to gobble her up. When Amelie realized that the other woman was

powerless to fight back, she shrugged and pushed her away before entering the room.

Following that, the door slammed shut in front of Elyse, who was rooted to the spot. It wasn’t until a long

time later that she came to her senses.

What have I done? Why did I even come over here and vent my anger on Amelie? Everyone says that

I’m beautiful and elegant. I’m supposed to be a well-mannered, mild-tempered, and good-looking

woman… But just now, I had none of those qualities. I was nothing more than a boorish woman!

She couldn’t even accept what she had just done. Overwhelmed with irritation, she had the urge to mess

up her hair. It took her a lot of willpower to stop herself from doing that.

Ashton arrived at Skaynia in the evening. The four of them came together in the hotel’s restaurant, and

Toby sported a solemn expression. When they were all seated, he informed everyone about Foxy’s

message.

When Leo learned that Foxy had failed in her attempt, he furrowed his brows. Despite his silence,

everyone could tell that the failure had a huge impact on him. “Didn’t you say Foxy is on very good terms

with Mr. Steward? Everyone says that whatever request Foxy comes up with, Mr. Steward will agree to it.

We had supposedly secured the deal, so how did it turn out this way?” Elyse pretended to be graceful

again as she took a sip of her water and gave a remark nonchalantly.

Then, she covered her lips with her hand and continued, “Could it have something to do with Miss

Dillon?” The next moment, she apologized, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have speculated.”

“Miss Dillon? Are you talking about Amelie? Is she in this country as well?” Ashton exclaimed as a hint of

contempt appeared on his handsome face. “I think it must have everything to do with her! She’s such a

shameless woman. She was the one who divorced Leo, and now she’s doing such a despicable thing.

That’s outrageous!”

Ashton hated Amelie to begin with, so he was easily agitated by Elyse’s words. As such, he quickly

criticized Amelie.

“Don’t say that, Ashton. We don’t have any evidence.” Elyse pretended to calm him down, but her lips

curved into a satisfied smile behind her hand. She wanted to make everyone believe that Amelie was the

one who derailed their plan.

“Do we need any evidence at all? It isn’t the first time she has targeted you!” Ashton roared. He then

turned to Leo. “She has offended you so many times. How much longer do you want to put up with her?”

In fact, he wasn’t concerned about Amelie foiling Leo’s plan. Instead, he hated Amelie for targeting the

woman he loved—Elyse.

Leo remained silent as he didn’t intend to respond to him. On the other hand, Toby couldn’t help

sneering.
