A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357 We’re Square Now

There was a car that had been parked nearby for about a month.

Amelie’s apartment wasn’t on a high floor. Hence, she could see the car whenever she looked down.

As the car was quite a distance away, she didn’t think about checking out whom it belonged to.

It always arrived in the wee hours, only to leave at dawn. Furthermore, there were always a lot of cigarette butts left at the spot where the car was parked.

Did the car still come despite the cold last night? Why didn’t the owner return to his home? Why did he park his car here? Also, what makes him smoke so much?

Amelie had many doubts regarding the car. Just as she was deep in thought, she heard someone calling her. “Miss Dillon.”

She raised her head and saw Eugene standing in front of her, dressed in a thick coat.

“Mr. Cornelius?” Amelie was surprised to see him here.

Ever since Leo began dating Michelle, he had never looked for Amelie.

She, too, had never been in contact with anyone related to him.

Eugene casually kicked the snow on the ground as he said, “I’m here to seek your assistance, Miss Dillon.”

“My assistance?”

“Yes.” Eugene then hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to say, “Mr. Alston discovered that you were the one who donated your cornea to him, and he thinks that he has wronged you. As a result, he has been working endlessly as of late, and he hasn’t returned home. I sent someone to follow him, and I discovered that he would drive his car here and spend the entire night beneath your apartment.”

Amelie was surprised by what she heard as she turned around to look at the black patch of ground among the snowy white snow.

Leo was the one who came here every night to park his car, huh?

“He’ll work himself to death if this continues. You’re the only one who can help him right now, Miss Dillon.”

Amelie, on the other hand, went into a long trance before realizing what Eugene meant.

Is this why he has stopped bothering me?

…

Windy City International was hosting a grand banquet today.

The granddaughter of a well-known figure in the city, Louis Harvey, would be getting engaged here.

Louis was a frequent collaborator with Starlight Media and one of its most important clients.

Hence, Julia attended the engagement party in a bright red off-the-shoulder gown, and she brought Amelie along as well.

“Why do you confine yourself to your home every day? Come out and feast your eyes on some hot men!” Julia said as she walked, twisting her waist. Her slim-fit gown did not hide her hot and impatient temper at all.

Amelie, on the other hand, was wearing a white muslin gown. Her hem, while not overly eye-catching, accentuated her good figure perfectly.

Two of them, one in white and the other in red, were dressed according to their personalities; one was a hot, sexy lady and the other more elegant and fairy-like.

When they both entered the hall, countless eyes were drawn to them.

Amelie, however, shook her head speechlessly.

“You’re hopeless, Julia.”

Two of them then walked to the prominent figure and greeted, “Congratulations, Mr. Harvey!”

Louis exchanged pleasantries with Julia smilingly. Amelie was content to stay out of their conversation and simply stood silently next to Julia after greeting Louis.

Julia, on the other hand, was buttering Louis up so much that he couldn’t stop laughing, which surprised both his granddaughter and grandson-in-law.

“Hello, Mr. Harvey,” a woman’s voice resonated while they were happily chit-chatting.

Amelie had been laughing patronizingly with them all this while, her head lowered. However, she found the woman’s voice familiar, and when she raised her head, she saw Michelle.

Michelle was dressed in a gown that was similar to Bella’s in color and style, with the only difference being the length.

Michelle approached Louis while holding Leo’s arm and smiling sweetly.

“Mr. Harvey,” Leo greeted Louis as well, his voice low.

When she saw both of them, Julia’s original smile froze. She quickly said goodbye to Louis and drew Amelie away from the crowd.

While walking away, she grumbled, “Is Michelle doing this on purpose? She’s wearing the same gown as you on purpose. That way, people can debate whether Leo’s ex-wife or current wife is more beautiful, huh?”

Amelie, however, did not think too much about it and merely let out a faint smile.

“I think it’s just a coincidence.”

“Michelle doesn’t seem like a good Samaritan to me; she must have something up her sleeve!”
