Elyse only reached home in the middle of the night.
Ashton was the one who secretly picked her up and brought her to the racetrack.
However, he was injured and was later brought away by Chris.
There were two cars left at the racing grounds, one of which was Amelie’s while the other was
Ashton’s… And Elyse didn’t have the key to either one of those cars!
Because of that, she had to walk all the way back in the night from the dark place.
Her legs even felt like breaking from all that walking.
She did call for a cab, but for some reason, she couldn’t get even one to come to pick her up.
Much to her frustration, she only realized later that her phone had no signal.
Instead of her room, she went to Michael’s as it was nearer.
After she pushed the door open, she couldn’t care less about what Michael was doing and she plopped
down on a chair.
The soreness all over her body made her feel as though she had come back from the dead.
Michael was currently feeding Ellen.
After all, Ellen was Leo’s savior. He had to take good care of her to continue raking in a steady stream
of benefits.
“Did something happen?” Michael couldn’t help but ask when he saw his second daughter in such a
mess.
Hearing that, Elyse turned her face in his direction. She felt the utmost disgust at the sight of Ellen
eating a mouthful of food just to drop half of it. Elyse’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together when she
complained, “You can’t just coddle her for nothing all day long. She has to do something to prove her
worth!”
“Look at this dunce. What can she do?” Michael put down the bowl he was holding and sighed.
He wanted practical benefits more than Elyse did.
“Whether she can be useful or not depends on how you figure out a way to use her. She will be
completely useless if you keep dragging this out!” Elyse couldn’t help but think of the secret that was
confirmed tonight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot only was Amelie ‘Big Eyes’, but she was also the cornea donor! The secret was like two hands
clutching at Elyse’s throat, taking the breath out of her.
She was also well aware that she was doomed if Amelie ever spoke about it.
“Drat!” Overwhelmed by frustration, Elyse tore off her high heels and hurled them away.
She wanted to use this opportunity to drag Amelie down, but that woman managed to get the car to fly
even though she couldn’t see!
Just the memory of it was enough to make Elyse cough up blood whenever it came to mind.
Why is it so hard to get rid of Amelie Dillon?!
Michael didn’t know why she was so angry, but her words reminded him of something. He nodded and
agreed, “You’re right. We can’t get anything from Leo even if we were to take care of this fool our whole
lives. I would rather go to Leo myself.”
After he said that, he scratched his head.
“But I am Ellen’s father, after all. I must maintain my image, or else Leo will see through me. He might
not even help us again in the future. How about this? I will talk to Leo about you and have him arrange
something for you to do. You can take the chance to become famous again if I hang on to my image of
a good father.”
Michael was so used to being a liar that he didn’t bother hiding his evil and phony side.
Elyse nodded in agreement when she heard what he said.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea for them to earn some money before Ellen was exposed. Even if the truth
came to light in the future, it would all be on Ellen for lying to everyone. It wouldn’t have anything to do
with Elyse.
Ellen was the one who wrote the diary. She also gathered the evidence herself. No matter how angry
Leo would be, he could only release his anger on Ellen.
As for me, I’ll be a rich lady by then and I can get married anytime I want. Even if I don’t get married, I
can live a worry-free life.
Even though Elyse had made a considerable amount of money in her early years, she spent even more
than what she earned. She barely had anything left now.
Let alone money, her popularity was hanging by a thread and she was on the verge of being eliminated
from the industry.
“Variety shows have been pretty profit-making recently. Have him make me appear on the best variety
shows.” Elyse had long since set her sights on this path. However, she was not well-known enough for
shows to invite her. As such, she was stuck at a dead end.
…
Starlight Media.
“What? That b*tch Elyse used Ashton to set you up? Oh, that little… Is she tired of living?” Julia was so
loud that the office she was sitting in was almost blown away.
Her face was tense as she looked at Amelie, who was sitting in front of her. “This won’t do. I’m going to
get her a*s! That damn woman! She doesn’t think much of me, does she?!”
Julia had always been a hasty person. As soon as she mentioned that, she stood up and made a move
to go to Elyse.
Amelie was leisurely slouched on another chair with her legs propped against the armrest.
She grabbed Julia when the latter stomped past her. “There’s no need for that, silly.”
“What do you mean?!” Julia was so angry that she could set the whole office on fire. “We never minded
her when she went around causing trouble. Even though she laid her hands on Bria, we let her go
because Leo handled it. But now she has taken it a step further by trying to get you killed. How can we
not do anything about this?!”
She picked up the hammer on her table. “I want to personally smash her head with this!”
“You won’t live as well if you really did that.” Amelie used Julia’s arm as leverage to stand up. After she
snatched and tossed the hammer aside, she patted Julia’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. This is not the end of
it.”
She didn’t get involved when Elyse messed with Bria because the woman ended up having her leg
broken by Leo.
But this… Amelie wanted to seek justice for herself.
“Can you help me find out what she’s been up to lately? Since she likes to pick a fight with others, I will
do the same for her. ”
“Okay!” Julia immediately held up a peace sign and happily hopped away to get someone to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminvestigate.
It didn’t take long for her to bring the results of the investigation to Amelie. “This b*tch has recently
started getting involved with Leo again. She got a big variety show production through him.”
Amelie jolted to a stop when she heard Leo’s name, and she couldn’t help recalling what he said last
night.
A frown appeared on her face.
He and his double standards…
He has never stopped helping Elyse even when her true colors are showing up one by one.
And me? I didn’t even do anything, but all he does is misunderstand me. He still thinks I’m a gold
digger.
“Alright. That’s all for now,” Amelie stated coldly. She didn’t even bother to check the name of the
variety show.
…
Elyse sat gracefully on a chair in the green room of ‘Show Your Love’ three days later. Her beautiful
face was full of smiles as she rested her fingers on her long and slender neck.
A few reporters were originally interviewing other celebrities, but someone finally spotted her and
moved over. “Why are you here, Miss Clayton?”
Her popularity was not what it used to be. Supposedly, there was no chance for her to join a high-
profile program like ‘Show Your Love’. It was inevitable that the reporters grew curious when they saw
her.
Instead of getting angry, she smiled sweetly. “Take a guess,” she purred.
A reporter smirked at her reply. “There are tons of people who would kill to be a part of this show. Could
it be that you got in through connections?”
She covered her lips and giggled. “You sure know the industry well.”
She was admitting that she had someone important backing her up.
Her net worth plummeted when she canceled her engagement with Leo before, but her having a big
fish supporting her now was undoubtedly big news.
The reporters who were interviewing other artists also came over and turned their microphones to
Elyse, wanting to know who the important person was.
Leo wasn’t the only powerful figure in Clouson City.
However, there was only a handful who were influential, young, and handsome like him.
There were one too many ladies in the city who envied Elyse when she and Leo were together.
