A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187

The package was wrapped securely. Inside the box contained a bunch of Styrofoam peanuts as well as another box. There was yet another smaller box inside it.

Even after Elyse had unpackaged several layers, she still couldn’t make out what it was.

Michael stood beside and snickered when he watched the scene. “It must be a costly gift to be wrapped into so many layers. Could it be an expensive piece of jewelry?”

Although Elyse felt like it wasn’t expensive, she also felt it must be something special, seeing how it was wrapped in such a way. Although she was getting impatient, she still unboxed it patiently.

In the end, the huge box had transformed into a small envelope about four inches thick. When Elyse grabbed it, she felt something hard inside.

“Oh my, is it a credit card?” Michael could only think of such a gift.

Elyse had always pictured herself as a star. Hence, her followers would not send her meaningless things. Since Elyse didn’t know what it was, she ripped open the envelope. Instead of a credit card, a red card fell out of the envelope.

The moment she caught sight of the red card, her expression froze. Her heart was beating fast, and she felt like she was being slapped in the face.

On the other hand, Michael had also seen the card. “Isn’t this the invitation you sent out yesterday? Who would send it back?”

There were only a few people whom Elyse had given the invitation. Although she was not respectable enough to do so, the Alston Family was. Everyone wanted to receive the invitation, so Michael couldn’t figure out who would send it back. However, Elyse knew who the sender was—after all, only two people were bold enough to do this.

As she suppressed her anger while picking up the invitation, she saw Julia and Amelie’s names written on it.

“Damn it!” Not only was her plan ruined, but her invitation was also sent back to her in such a state.

At that moment, Elyse felt like she had been slapped by Julia and Amelie.

“Why did you send the invitation to them?” Michael saw the names on the card and looked at Elyse disapprovingly.

“It’s none of your business!” Elyse snapped at him. After all, she had another motive other than using them to become famous.

During her engagement party, the crowd would certainly gossip about her cheating on Leo four years ago. By then, she would be humiliated. Hence, Julia and Amelie’s arrival would divert their attention away from her. If anyone were to humiliate or embarrass her, she would pretend to be the victim and win the others’ hearts.

Moreover, she even planned on blaming Amelie for what had happened. She would emerge as the winner, and Amelie would be the loser. At the same time, she would expose Amelie’s identity as Foxy and make her the street rat.

However, Amelie had ruined such an excellent plan. Not only that, she had even humiliated Elyse by sending back the invitation!

As Elyse thought about it, she gripped her knuckles tightly, causing her freshly manicured nails to fall apart.
