Chapter 84 Exposed

“My earring?!” Elyse felt her ear at once, and sure enough, she was an earring less.

“You dropped it at the golf course’s cafe. When the manager called me to pick it up, I overheard

someone talking about you and the derogatory words you said to Owen about Amelie,” Leo revealed.

His every word revealed the filthy heart hidden beneath Elyse’s flesh bit by bit.

Elyse instantly clutched her earring while biting down the corner of her lips in utter shame. The blood

drained speedily from her face, leaving it ghastly pale.

She hadn’t deliberately watched out for people when she was talking to Owen, for she knew the staff

would never have anything to do with Leo. However, she forgot there was one thing in this world called

a coincidence.

Her earring had coincidentally dropped; Leo coincidentally went back to the place; the staff members

were coincidentally talking about her…

How did it lead up to this?!

At the time, when she realized Owen wasn’t as aloof as she imagined, she then pretentiously brought

up Amelie after talking about the collaboration.

Though her words were euphemistic, they implied multitudes.

For the longest time, Elyse portrayed her fair maiden image flawlessly, but it was now entirely ruined

because of this insignificant mistake.

“I only said all that because I thought… I thought Amelie wanted to foil your dealing. I feared Mr.

Steward would believe her, so I hinted at him. I… I did it all for you and the company’s sake!” she

hurriedly explained as she looked at Leo with teary eyes. “You have to trust me.”

Despite Leo’s silence, his eyes were sub-zero.

Honestly, some things didn’t need to be said, but those decent would never speak ill of others to

someone else, especially when that person was a big shot like Owen.

Until not long ago, he was still baffled by Owen’s advice, telling him he could do better than settle for

someone like Elyse. But after overhearing the gossip, it all suddenly became clear to him.

His silence was like a boulder weighing down on Elyse. She felt suffocated and grabbed her hair in

frustration.

Just what the heck has gotten into me?!

She would be all over the place once it had anything to do with Amelie.

She knew the potential harm of gossiping to other people, but she just couldn’t help herself.

“You should get some rest. I still have other business to see to,” announced Leo impassively before

heading out.

Uneasiness instantly surged within Elyse, and she hurriedly grabbed Leo’s arm to forbid him from

leaving. “Leo, you have to trust me. I have your and the project’s best interests at heart. I was just too

anxious and eager to help you that I behaved so indecently. However, Amelie’s also to blame. She

showed up here so coincidentally and coupled with how she repeatedly attacked us last time, I thought

she wanted to screw things up! Wouldn’t it make sense that I warned Mr. Steward to look out for her?!

Also, I believe she has a reason for helping us. She wants to break us up!”

Even at this point, she continued to defend herself without forgetting to defame Amelie.

“Elyse!” Leo never expressed any emotions, not even when he was utterly disappointed in her.

However, he couldn’t stand it anymore when she still disregarded her mistakes and disparaged others

even when it had come to this.

“Straighten yourself out before you randomly assume others!” he fumed with unprecedented sternness.

He wasn’t even this stern back when she humiliated him by cheating on him.

Startled, Elyse shuddered in fear, no longer daring to say another word.

She cautiously checked Leo’s expression, only for her heart to skip a beat and race when she took in

his disappointment.

Shoot! Leo has seen through me and is starting to despise me! Where is he heading off to so

hurriedly? To chase after Amelie? She’s doing outstanding now. If he starts falling for her…

An unprecedented insecurity surged within Elyse, and she grew more unwilling to let him leave.

However, forcing him to stay would only make him despise her even more…

An idea suddenly hit her amidst the chaos, and she hurriedly winced in pain. “My eye hurts, Leony. I’m

blacking out. Ouch…”

Even though he had already stridden off, Leo turned around and supported her at once.

“Don’t worry. I’ve got you. I’ll take you back to your room now.” Anxiety instantly enveloped his voice as

he picked her up and strode toward her room.

Meanwhile, Elyse wrapped her arms around his waist while burying her face in his chest.

Thank the heavens that she had a shrewd brain.

Her ‘impaired’ eye would become her holy grail forever. In the future, no matter what fault she was in,

he would eventually yield if she pulled this card.

Very well.

Amelie returned to Capland first thing in the morning, and she found Julia’s hot, enthusiastic figure as

soon as she exited the arrival hall.

Julia made nothing of other strangers either and gave her best friend a massive hug while shrieking, “I

miss you so much, Darling!”

“Alright, that’s enough. People are looking at us.” Amelie hurriedly avoided her and glanced around.

No one could capture the moment, for those who were oblivious would certainly assume she and Julia

had some unspeakable relationship.

Alright, strangers didn’t matter—Samuel did. The man was a pretty scary character.

As she had shipped Owen’s local specialties, it would take some time for them to arrive. Thus, Amelie

only had to drag a simple suitcase as she walked alongside Julia.

Julia had a hot body and a bold fashion sense, while Amelie had a slender figure and dressed

elegantly.

Though one was fiery while the other was poised, both were beauties that attracted a lot of attention.

That said, both were used to the attention and merely chatted while walking when Julia suddenly

snapped her fingers. “Amelie, guess what massive secret I’ve found out recently!”

She deliberately kept the suspense up to attract Amelie’s attention, and the latter very cooperatively

looked at her. “Do tell.”

At that, Julia moved her head closer and whispered, “Remember the time we ran into the b*stard and

the b*tch when I forced you to get your eye checked?”

“I do,” replied the young woman curtly.

Amelie felt nauseous when she ran into the pair several times a day.

“You’re not going to believe this.” Julia’s expression grew increasingly mysterious. “One of Elyse’s eyes

has zero vision!”

“Zero vision?!” Amelie was honestly shocked by the news, for she had never heard about it.

“Do you seriously believe that one of her eyes has zero vision when she appears on TV every day?

Well, I don’t!” Julia tapped the side of her piercing eyes. “Forget about using a machine. My eyes alone

can tell she isn’t visually impaired at all!”

“So? What are you going to do? Blow the whistle on her? But she has never mentioned any issues

about her eyes in public either,” monotoned Amelie.

“My point exactly!” Julia clapped her hands. “Think about it. Elyse is always on about her fair maiden

image and will ramble about her insignificant injuries every now and then to gain pity from her fans. In

fact, she would constantly come up with fake inspiring stories to cheat her gullible fans. Now that she

has a truly inspiring story with her one blind eye, she keeps quiet about it instead! You can’t tell me

that’s normal, can you?”

Amelie had never been one to actively talk about Elyse, so she naturally wouldn’t dig into the woman.

However, she also knew Julia would never assume anything without a good reason, so she turned to

the latter. “What you’re saying is…”

“So, I’ve made a bold assumption. Elyse’s eyes are working perfectly fine. She merely said she’s

visually impaired for Leo alone to hear. I assure you, no one else but Leo knows about it!”

“So?”

“This is a red flag!” Julia suddenly turned grave and held Amelie’s hand.
