Chapter 382 Don’t Make
Trouble for Amelie “Leo, what are you doing?!”
Seeing that he was slowly being lifted, Chandler began struggling and shouting nonstop.His hands were tied tightly behind him, and he was being hung up and raised
toward the ceiling.
Due to his struggles, his body was shaking like a sandbag.
Chandler screamed and his eyes turned red; he was almost on the verge of tears.
“Stop this! Mrs.Alston and Jodie are still waiting for us to go back home: Leo sat on
the only chair in the room, his gaze as cold as ever.His eyes were calm and his thin
lips were pursed.He only looked at Chandler and had no intention of speaking.The
two of Leo’s bodyguards were the ones who hung Chandler up.
Chandler looked down and saw Leo’s jet-black hair and his icy eyes.
He finally burst into tears, crying out, “What’s going on? How did it turn out like this? I
just stopped the car.Why is this happening to me?”On the way, Leo told Chandler to
stop the car.As soon as the car stopped, Chandler was dragged out by the
bodyguards and then shoved into this room.
Chandler was so passive and pitiful at this moment with tears and snot running down
his face that he had no image at all.
Seeing that Leo remained silent, Chandler stopped asking questions.
Instead, he begged for mercy.
“Leo, please let me go.If I made you unhappy in any way, just tell me.Even if you want
me to leave that home, I-I’ll do it!”
“You don’t need to leave.”
Leo, who had been silent all along, finally parted his lips and spoke with a faint smile.
“You can stay, and you can also make trouble there as you like.”
Chandler was speechless.
A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.He couldn’t help but meet Leo’s gaze, but when
he looked into Leo’s eyes, he still saw coldness and nothing more.
Even the bodyguards were shocked by Leo’s words.
The boss allowed Chandler to create trouble at home? What was he thinking? “But
you absolutely cannot make trouble for Amelie!”Leo’s eyes were cold and he spoke
ina firm tone.
“Leo, what are you saying? How could I make trouble at home? I swear to God! I’ve
never done that before!”
Chandler quickly suppressed his emotions and spoke in a pitiful tone.He continued,
“Are you thinking that I am being too nice to Mrs.Alston and Jodie? If you don’t like it, I
won’t do it anymore.I’m sorry.I really didn’t think that my actions would cause you
harm.”
Chandler’s performance was done with great effort as he tried hard to portray himself
as a weak and wronged guy.Leo beckoned to the bodyguards with his finger.
They understood and let Chandler down using the ropes.
When Chandler’s feet landed on the ground, his legs were so weak that he almost fell
over.Leo walked over, picked up his collar, and lifted him before saying in a serious
tone, “Listen.If I ever see you try to harm Amelie again, you’re dead!”
As soon as he said this, heavy killing intent filled the room, and the temperature
dropped sharply until it reached freezing point! Chandler, who was still trying to put on
an act, suddenly stiffened. no.vel.e.book He was completely stunned.
After a moment, he immediately shook his head again.
“I swear to God; I really didn’t do anything to Miss Dillon.Leo, Miss Dillon is so
capable! What can I do with the little ability I have? Moreover, she is abroad, so even
if I wanted to cause trouble for her, I wouldn’t be able to do it, would I?”
As he spoke, he used his bound hands to pat his chest as if he wished he could take
out his heart to show Leo.
Leo ignored his acting, let go of him, and turned to leave.
Victor stood in the distant shadow and watched silently.
Seeing that Chandler was still pretending to be innocent at this point, he sneered.He
was aware that Chandler had conspired against Amelie by enticing her to Mospal and
then having Melissa bring Leo there.
Wasn’t all of that an attempt to cause trouble? Moreover, Chandler gave the wrong
hotel room number and even provided those two thugs with information about
Amelie’s location.
Later, Chandler mobilized a group of people to continue to work against Amelie even
after she had successfully extricated herself from the situation.
Chandler’s scheming surpassed the ordinary, yet he had the misfortune of facing off
against Leo.Leo was cool-headed with a frighteningly sharp mind.He had likely
deciphered Chandler’s intentions the day Chandler first entered Alston Residence.
Leo admitted that he didn’t mind if Chandler stirred up trouble at home, so he ignored
it.
Chandler, however, believed he was clever and had successfully concealed his
motives.
Little did he know that he was facing a superior opponent! Victor had been with Leo
for more than two years and knew a little bit about Alston Family’s affairs.
Leo was exceedingly forgiving of Chandler because Chandler was initially adopted to
be the heir, but after Leo returned, Melissa ousted Chandler.
Leo felt remorseful for this.
Besides that…
Victor’s gaze turned to Leo.
Those eyes that were indifferent to everything slowly narrowed.
Victor was a detective with a meticulous mind, and he had long noticed that Leo had
been living in pain for the past years.
In fact, the expansion of his business territory was not because Leo had high
ambitions.
If he didn’t put his mind on business, he would probably have been depressed to
death.
He owed people too much and didn’t even know it.
Thinking of this, Victor brushed his hands, then silently left the room.
“Victor.”
Victor had only walked a few blocks when he was stopped by a pretty girl who got out
of an SUV.
“I have a job for you.My boyfriend is cheating on me”
Victor lifted his eyes indifferently.
“Miss Juventus, this is the fifth time your boyfriend has cheated on you”
“Well, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
The girl nervously touched her hair and leaned forward.
“I don’t want this to happen either.I don’t know why, but these men all love to cheat.”
As she leaned forward, the fragrance on her body rushed into Victor’s nose.
no.vel.e.book Victor stepped back and kept a safe distance from her.
“Sorry, I don’t take on these kinds of jobs,” he said and walked away.
“Victor!”
The girl stomped her feet, her face full of distress.She grabbed her own hair in
frustration.
“This keeps happening.What should I do?”
“This guy not only has a cold personality, but he also seems to have a disconcerting
past.Don’t bother him.”
A woman in her 30s came from behind and advised her.The girl pouted.
“I know you’re right, but I just like him.Miss Lemon, can’t you help me?” She kept
shaking the woman’s shoulder back and forth, her voice pitiful.
Miss Lemon was getting dizzy from being shaken so much, but she still pulled her
hand away firmly.
“Are you just thinking about romance all day long? What about your career? If you
don’t do kissing or bed scenes, which director will hire you? If you keep this up, you’ll
be out of a job.”
“So be it,” the girl said nonchalantly and walked out.
Behind her, Miss Lemon shook her head helplessly, “Bella, it’s not worth keeping your
virginity for a man you can’t even get.”
Amelie had just landed when Julia called.
“Elie, I’ve decided to divorce Samuel!”
Amelie nearly dropped her phone from the explosive news.
“What happened? You just got married!”
