A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 329

Chapter 329 She’s Exerting Dominance Even Before Marriage

With his hands behind his back, Leo appeared aloof and intimidating as his black suit set off his fair skin.

Leo! Michelle dared not call his name out loud. She merely mouthed his name and gritted her teeth, tears almost rolling down her face.

When she came downstairs, Leo followed her from behind.

The reason she couldn’t give up on pestering Amelie was to prove that she was better than the latter. She refused to be the losing party as it made her feel humiliated.

Watching the aggrieved look on Michelle’s face, Amelie slowly returned to her senses.

I knew it! Michelle was the daughter of a wealthy family. How could she be willing to be a laughingstock without reason?

Since Michelle did all that just to attract Leo’s attraction, she decided to play along with her.

As if not noticing Leo, Amelie changed her expression and grabbed Michelle’s hands. “Miss Walsh, you’re right. The New Year shows are just pure entertainment. They aren’t sophisticated events at all. I’m sure someone as excellent as you don’t even enjoy watching them.”

Her response took Michelle aback.

Upon hearing her compliment, Michelle immediately assumed that Amelie was mocking her.

The more she thought, the more eager she was to prove how excellent she was. Hence, she announced, “I’m not considered outstanding in my family, but at least I graduated from a prestigious Ivy League university. Anyone who graduated from an Ivy League university is naturally exceptional. So far, no one I know of has graduated from an Ivy League university!”

Amelie was speechless at that.

Did all Ivy League university students behave like her? Did all of them look down on people and act almighty?

Was the Ivy League some kind of joke?

However, Amelie didn’t forget her original intention. She purposely raised her voice in exaggeration and exclaimed, “Wow! Ivy League?! That’s so cool! I can’t compare to you, Miss Walsh. My university can’t even get into whatever league in Corynthea. It is merely an ordinary university.”

Michelle couldn’t stifle a laugh upon hearing that.

That woman was indeed dumb. She didn’t even seem to know what Ivy League was!

The guests who overheard Amelie laughed out loud as well.

Some thought she was being funny, but some carried the same thought as Michelle who assumed Amelie was ignorant.

Of course, Amelie heard their laughter, but she didn’t care.

Others couldn’t simply judge one’s intelligence. What mattered most was one’s own thoughts.

As if not understanding why the crowd was laughing, she continued, “Even though I studied at an ordinary university, I merely strove to graduate.”

Back then, she was busy doing live broadcasts and establishing Starlight Media, so she didn’t have to attend classes at all.

She could only make use of the two weeks prior to examinations to flip the untouched textbook and digest everything in a short period of time.

Nonetheless, she aced her exams every single time.

When she heard that Amelie narrowly graduated from university, Michelle was even more confident.

Raising her chin, she announced in a clear and loud voice, “Even though school was tough for me since young, I still managed to cultivate my other talents. I obtained a tenth-grade in piano, a professional qualification in violin, a membership in the Equestrian Association, a membership in the Business Club…”

She deliberately emphasized the word “professional” for fear that Amelie didn’t know that there were professional and amateur levels in each of the extra-curricular activities that she had participated in.

After that, she continued naming all the other qualifications or memberships that she obtained.

Amelie almost wanted to clean her ears due to boredom.

“Why don’t you perform a song for us on stage, Miss Walsh?” She pointed at the piano on stage and suggested.

This was a great idea for Michelle to show off her talents in front of Leo. However, Amelie merely mentioned that just to get away from her. She talks too much.

Tilting her chin upward, Michelle agreed readily. “Sure, if you want to hear me play.”

She looked as if she was only going to play for Amelie out of pity.

After saying that, she made a beeline for the stage.

Finally! I managed to get rid of that annoying piece of gum. Amelie finally felt relaxed.

Suddenly, her stomach grumbled, a reminder that she had not eaten lunch yet after being occupied the whole day.

She was famished.

Ignoring Michelle’s performance on stage, she strode toward the buffet table.

An array of delicacies was arranged neatly.

Although Amelie wasn’t short of money, she wasn’t extremely particular when it came to food. Upon seeing the delicate dishes on the table that resembled works of art, she couldn’t help clicking her tongue.

When she walked over, a waiter lifted the lid for her.
