Chapter 191
The sound was so loud that the ground rumbled.
When Elyse heard that, she was frightened. Then, she saw that Leo had driven past her and went toward the reporters’ direction.
They were terrified by the incoming car and quickly moved aside. In just a split second, the car had disappeared out of sight.
Subsequently, the reporters had complicated expressions as they surrounded Elyse’s car.
Her bumper was dented, and the car lights were shattered! The car had been flipped from the huge force when Leo crashed against it.
“Oh my god! Mr. Alston… He…” One of the reporters could not help but exclaim in utter exaggeration.
What happened before them made everyone realize that not only had Leo left Elyse, his fiancé, alone in the garage, he even crashed into her car for Amelie, his ex-wife! After all, he could have waited for Elyse to move her car, but he was so anxious that he did not even have the time to do so! With this matter, it was clear that Amelie was more important to Leo.
As Elyse looked at the broken car, she clenched her fists tightly. Her car was ruined, and so was her reputation! Leo had overlooked what Ellen did for him just because of Amelie! At that point, nothing could get her out of this mess. He had embarrassed her in front of the reporters, and she would be a laughingstock of the town!
As she thought about it, she was angry and glared at the reporters. “I’m sure you know what to write on today’s news. If anyone were to write nonsense, the Alston Family would get their revenge!” Then, she stormed off angrily.
When she returned to the dressing room, she was frustrated and disappointed. All she wanted to do was vent her emotions.
Just as she stepped into the room, she saw Donia and the girls who had surrounded her inside.
“What’s going on? I heard Mr. Alston has left.” Donia’s expression was grim. As soon as Elyse entered the room, she interrogated her, and her attitude was unlike before.
Although Elyse was frustrated, she still had to deal with Donia. “He has some important business to attend to.”
When Rose, the girl Elyse humiliated previously, heard her words, she said, “What is more important than his engagement? It looks to me that Mr. Alston doesn’t love you!”
She was getting her revenge since Elyse had humiliated her.
Her words resembled a slap to Elyse’s face, which infuriated and embarrassed her. She almost wanted to pick a fight with Rose right there and then.
“She doesn’t have any manners, Miss Donia. Don’t you have something to say about it?” Elyse suppressed her anger and reminded her manager.
In reality, Donia was angry and disappointed in Elyse since Leo had left. When she heard her words, she gave a light scolding to Rose. Then, her words took a turn as she looked at Elyse. “Do you know when he will be back? After all, he is the star of today’s event. If he were to be absent, your reputation will be ruined.”
At that, Elyse felt excruciating pain and wanted to bang her head against the wall from the embarrassment. Even if she wanted Leo to return, he would not listen to her!
As she thought about it, she suppressed her anger and said calmly, “Bria’s mother is in a life-and-death situation, and the kid is terrified. So, how can Leo ignore this matter? Surely, he would return after the mother is found. It was me who allowed him to leave. I’ll explain it to you guys later on.”
