A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 141

Chapter 141

“Nonsense!” It took Melissa quite some time to regain her composure, and she roared, “You’re a shameless woman who sleeps with all kinds of men. How can you blame what happened to me?”

Sneering, Elyse retorted, “How could you say that? Wasn’t it you who sent that man to me? Your real intention was to let him tempt me into cheating on Leo so that Leo and I would break up.”

“So what if that’s true? Would you have fallen into my trap if you weren’t such a woman? Don’t forget that you’ve been eyeing other men before that man ever appeared. Leony is benevolent enough not to argue with you! You couldn’t resist the temptation, so you can’t blame me for anything!”

“I admit that I couldn’t resist temptations, but what’s gonna happen when Leony finds out that all of this was his mommy’s plan? Also, what will he think if he knows you were the one who found the man that he hates the most?”

Those words caused Melissa to become even paler. Her sweaty hands that were by her side clenched together tightly.

Then, Elyse grabbed Melissa’s hand and acted nice by helping her relax her fingers./Mrs. Alston, I’m not here to question you about that matter, nor did I come here to settle old scores. I came here to make a genuine deal with you. If you’re willing to accept my deal, we can establish cooperation and get what we both want. But if you’re not willing to accept my deal, I’ll leave immediately.”

After saying that, Elyse got up and walked toward the door.

“Wait a minute!”

Just as Elyse arrived at the door and was about to change her shoes, Melissa called for her. “Do you really have the plan to make Leony willingly fight for the child’s custody?”

“Of course.” Elyse smiled, but her eyes suddenly flashed with a dark light.

Today was the day Amelie would be signing a contract with Toby.

Therefore, Amelie made a rare appearance in the conference room at Starlight Media, where she decisively signed her name when the secretary handed her the pen and contract.

Following that, she gave the contract to Toby. “Mr. Walsh.”

Toby received the contract and pen but didn’t sign them immediately. Instead, he looked at Amelie.

She was wearing a formal black suit today, accentuating her slim figure.

Also, her hair was tied up, revealing her snowy-white earlobes. She looked clean and had a slightly aloof demeanor. If one were to use trending words to describe her, it would be “unspoken rizz!”

Although Toby had seen her many times before, the moment he saw her dressed up as the owner of Starlight Media he couldn’t help but be filled with admiration

He quickly signed his name and reached out to shake her hand. “To be able to be so talented and achieve such exceptional results in every field, you, Miss Dillon, are the first one I’ve ever met.”

“Your compliment is quite exaggerated.” Amelie smiled and deliberately avoided the gentleness and obvious fondness in his eyes.

Then, she formally handed the contract to the legal officers. “Well, let’s wish for a happy cooperation.”

“Wish us a happy cooperation.”

Toby had a faint smile on his exquisite face.

Despite knowing he still wasn’t worthy of her, he was still happy to have a chance to talk to her.

He looked down at his watch. “It’s almost noon. Could I have the pleasure of inviting you to lunch?”

Amelie looked down at her watch too. It showed 11.30AM, which was indeed lunchtime.

“Sure.” She nodded. “It’s on me today. Take it as compensation for yesterday.”

Toby didn’t refuse her offer, and the two left one after another.

“Amelie!” Julia came from the corridor. Her high heels clanked against the floor at a fast pace, showing that she was walking quickly.
