A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295 A Felony

Amelie froze.

She recalled the way Leo expressed his desire to get back with her when he dragged her over to make a wish to Amaro with him.

She wanted to tell Julia about this, but she found it too ludicrous, so in the end, she simply said, “What could possibly happen between us? But he now knows that I’m Big Eyes.”

“He knows?” Julia was stunned. “Is he finally cured of his persistent blindness now? Didn’t he express anything to you after finding out about this?”

“What are you hoping he’d say to me?” Amelie expertly sidestepped the question.

Julia shook her head. “He was all lovey-dovey with Elyse and then he got entangled with Ellen. A guy like him isn’t worth anything. Even if he does try to do something to get you back, we don’t want him!”

She couldn’t resist fuming on Amelie’s behalf. “Back then, you gave him all the love and sincerity you had to give, but he stomped on your feelings and treated you like dirt. Even if he begs at your feet now, you better not get soft-hearted! You should let him have a taste of what it’s like to be ignored!”

Amelie smiled faintly. Her reaction wasn’t as harsh as Julia’s as she never thought about ignoring him.

“From the day I walked out of Alston Residence, I never thought about turning back,” Amelie stated.

“That’s my girl!”

Julia gave her a thumbs-up.

The two of them got in Amelie’s car.

Amelie had recently switched to a new four-wheel-drive vehicle that was pretty cool.

Julia gushed over the car in envy.

Once Amelie started the engine, Julia wore her seatbelt and settled down in her seat before checking the news on her phone.

“Oh, my goodness!”

Amid her scrolling, she suddenly exclaimed.

Amelie, who had been fully focused on driving, was so shocked by Julia that her hands jerked and she nearly hit the road divider.

“Did you see a ghost or something?” Amelie glanced at Julia and asked once she got the car straight again.

Julia smacked Amelie’s shoulder and said, “You could say that I did! Someone made a move against Elyse! She’s in trouble now, and it’s a felony too! She’s doomed.”

Amelie’s curiosity was piqued.

Julia began reading out the article.

It turned out that someone had reported Elyse to the authorities for tax evasion. She created fraudulent versions of contracts that underreported her income.

“The news just broke a minute ago. Who’s the kind soul that intervened on fate’s behalf to teach her a lesson?”

Julia loathed Elyse and was thrilled by her misfortunes.

Amelie frowned slightly.

Isn’t this a bit too much of a coincidence? I had just given her a warning, but she ended up getting in trouble so quickly.

Her mind went back to the incident with Giada. It had happened just as she was about to get back at Giada too.

Is there really someone helping me in secret?

“Tax fraud is no joke. She’ll have to pay a hefty fine and might even go to jail. Even if she manages to weasel her way out by using her connections, her reputation is as good as destroyed. No one will want to hire a celebrity with a history of tax fraud.” Julia pointed out the severity of the situation.

Despite not being an actress, Amelie was in a similar field and knew full well how things in the entertainment industry worked. Fraudulent contracts that underreported one’s remuneration were illegal, but they were usually done with great secrecy. It wouldn’t be easy to discover such practices.

The person who did this to Elyse not only had to have access to most of her contracts as evidence but also possessed a thorough understanding of her, along with having a lot of power and influence.

It wasn’t easy to find someone who met the first two criteria.

The only person I can think of is… Leo! Could it be him? No. That’s impossible.
