A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 91

Chapter 91 How Shameless Can Elyse Be?

Amelie received a call from Julia at night.

“Do you want to know what I heard?” Julia started. “This world is a joke. I heard that Laura was demoted by Leo. And you know what was the reason for the demotion? Supposedly, she bribed a doctor to say that there was something wrong with Elyse’s eyes. And Elyse went along with it ‘against her will’ because she didn’t want to embarrass her best friend. Apparently, that was why she took the credit for all that farce about pretending to be the donor.”

“Not even a three-year-old would believe this! What’s even more bizarre is that that b*stard believed her and punished Laura! Seriously! It’s the joke of the century!”

Hearing Julia’s loud and clear voice dripping with mockery put a small smile on Amelie’s face.

This was not the first time she had witnessed Leo’s unreasonable trust and love for Elyse. It no longer surprised her. In fact, she was already immune to it.

“Did you call me just to tell me something that doesn’t help me in any way?” She didn’t want to hear about how Leo doted on Elyse.

Julia immediately boomed, “No, no, no! That’s not the only thing I’m calling you for. Something even stranger and more shameless than that is about to happen—Leo is holding a birthday party for Elyse!

“Heh, is he worried that others don’t know about Elyse cheating on him four years ago? This is like him trying to use this opportunity to remind everyone that. Is he dying to show people how eager he is to go back to his past love?”

“It might look that way to you, but to him, this is how he expresses his love for Elyse,” Amelie replied calmly.

One could only feel so much pain before they turned numb.

They were speaking of this like they were talking about some strangers.

Julia was in the middle of roaring and admonishing the couple when she suddenly slapped a palm on the tabletop. “F*ck! She’s never going to stop with her disgusting ways, huh? Do you know what I just got?”

“What is it?”

“An invitation letter. Elyse actually sent me and you an invitation to her birthday party. F*ck, how shameless can she be? What the hell does she want?”

Intrigued, the originally calm Amelie raised her eyebrows.

Even she thought that this was an interesting move Elyse was pulling.

“She probably wants to take the chance to show off her life while letting the whole city know that she already has Leo as her backer.” Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Even though Elyse came from a fairly good family, her family was still far from Leo’s level.

Leo might have questionable taste in women, but he was born with a business mind.

In just a few years, he had brought Genesis Company to a whole new height. People like Toby, Ashton, and many famous families rushed to collaborate with him because of his unique vision in business.

Although the Alston Family’s ranking wasn’t disclosed, they were undoubtedly one of the best in this city.

“Tsk! What makes her think we would help her fulfill her wish to show off? Ain’t no way that’s happening!” Julia insisted, “I’ll send her the invitation letters back to her intact. That’ll give her a taste of

what it feels like to be ignored.”

“No need for that,” Amelie hummed. “She sent the invitation because she thought we would cower and choose to not go. We’ll be playing by her rules if we don’t go.”

Julia immediately understood what Amelie meant.

“So, she sent the invites to us just to make us feel uncomfortable! Hmm. We can’t possibly disappoint someone who went out of her way to tease us. The birthday party will be our chance to ‘tease’ her as much as she did to us! Ha! The ex-lover appearing at the new lover’s birthday party? Just the thought of it gets me all tingly!

“Your arrival will be a reenactment of Elyse’s cheating back then. Hehehe… How nostalgic. Let’s go, Elie. We have to go!”

“We definitely have to,” Amelie echoed with a small smile.

Even though there wasn’t a need to bite the b*tch that bit her, she had no choice but to teach the dog to behave if the dog wouldn’t let go.

Amelie flipped through her calendar.

It had been some time since she came back to Quinn Town. It was time she went back.

It was Elyse’s birthday in the blink of an eye.

Elyse was now standing in front of the mirror in a couture dress with a small crown on her head.

Seeing her beautiful reflection, she nodded in satisfaction.

Ashton was behind her and his eyes shone when he saw her.

However, Ashton quickly tucked his admiration for her away before he got in front of her.

Elyse knew that he had something to tell her when she noticed him approaching her. Turning to her makeup artist and assistant, she instructed, “Leave us, please.”

Ashton only spoke after everyone else left. “According to my investigation, the boss of Starlight Media has never shown himself.”

“What do you mean?” Elyse touched her graceful, long neck, the corners of her eyebrows slightly raised.

Ashton slipped his hands into the pockets of his pants as he tried his best to appear dashing in front of her. “Since the establishment of Starlight Media, he has only ever had contact with Julia White. She has always been the one who passes on all his plans on his behalf.

“The man is so mysterious that he has never left any traces anywhere. My people haven’t found anything even after searching for so long. I suspect that he may be a well-known foreign big shot and he can’t show himself to the public because of his identity. That meant he wouldn’t actually come to Capland. There is a possibility that the so-called divorce and the 20 million funds are fake. It was all made up by Julia White.”

Ashton’s analysis made sense.

It wasn’t like anyone would know that Julia was using the name of this mysterious foreign identity to do this and that.

“In other words, it’s impossible for him and Amelie to know each other?” Elyse suddenly asked in surprise, to which Ashton nodded.

“No doubt about it.”

If that’s so… Elyse bit her lip.

She had already suspected the relationship between Amelie and the boss of Starlight Media and was thinking of finding out the truth through Jodie.

However, Jodie was so daft that she was used by Amelie instead, on top of not getting any useful information.

The Lowes’ information network was the second-most well-founded in the whole of Capland. The news Ashton was giving her couldn’t go wrong.

“If that’s the case, why would Amelie fabricate so many things?” Elyse asked softly.

Ashton scoffed, “To fool Leony into thinking she’s valuable! She must be hoping for him to marry her again!”

Elyse lowered her head and pondered.

She didn’t believe Ashton’s analysis too much.

However, she couldn’t think of any other reason herself.

She eventually reminded him in a low voice, “Don’t let Leony find out about how there’s nothing between the boss of Starlight Media and Amelie.”

“Why not?” he asked in confusion. “We need to expose that thick-skinned woman!”

“No means no!” Elyse demanded in an impatient voice.

Of course, she wouldn’t tell Ashton that Amelie was Big Eyes. Amelie was too dangerous an existence for her.

She had to stop any news regarding Amelie from reaching Leo’s ears before their relationship was confirmed, lest he started having second thoughts.

Ashton could only nod along when he saw how Elyse had lost her temper.

Still, he had to ask out of worry. “What if Amelie went crazy and exposed this herself?”

Elyse’s fingers lightly tapped. “At least she wouldn’t do it today.”

She had prepared well by sending out the invitation letters.

She was sure that Amelie wouldn’t be here just to watch her and Leo be all over each other.

The whole world would know that she and Leo had got back together by the time her birthday party ended.

Amelie telling the truth only after Elyse was publicly known as Leo’s girlfriend would be a futile effort.

After thinking for a moment with her head hanging, she looked at Ashton. “I need you to look into something for me.”

This was something that she was worried most about.
