A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 404

“Let’s stop here. Just sort out the data again based on what I just said,” Amelie instructed Eugene.

He nodded and walked away in a different direction.

Only then did she open the door and step into the office.

The secretary happened to bring the cups of coffee into the office. Melissa was then given a cup of coffee. “Madam.”

Melissa sat upright in the small reception room in her branded suit dress while carrying a designer bag. Her classy appearance had a deliberate elegance to it. She pushed away the cup of coffee in front of her as she glanced at Amelie. “I’m not going to take the coffee. Makes me sleepless at night.”

Amelie knew how much Melissa cared about her health, so she asked her secretary to substitute a cup of milk for Melissa.

After the secretary left, Melissa rose to her feet and took several steps toward Amelie. “Be honest with me, Elie. Uhm… Did the lawyer give you the shares transfer agreement?”

She found out about this so quickly. Amelie could not help but be taken aback. Nonetheless, she nodded. “He did, indeed.”

Melissa paled as her fingers turned weak while gripping her bag. “I trusted you, Elie. How could you possibly… How could you have done this to me… I-is Jodie right about you coveting the Alstons’ property?”

Amelie rubbed her aching brows. Genesis’ affairs are much more complicated than my previous work. I’m already under great pressure and exhaustion from handling them every day. Now I have Melissa making a scene here.

She knew the reason why Melissa was afraid, so she hurriedly stated, “Don’t worry. Although the lawyer gave it to me, I don’t intend to take anything from the Alstons.”

“Really?” Melissa’s question revealed how little she trusted Amelie.

Amelie sighed silently.

“If you don’t want the Alstons’ property, why don’t you let me keep that shares transfer agreement?” Melissa asked quickly, averting her gaze. “Doesn’t it prove that you’re selfless if you let me have it?”

However, Amelie made no reply before she walked over to take out the shares transfer agreement. She was on the verge of ripping the shares transfer agreement.

Melissa, on the other hand, moved quickly to stop Amelie. “Elie, what are you doing? No, you can’t destroy it.” She snatched it and pressed it against her chest while speaking.

Amelie frowned as she looked at Melissa.

Melissa had stuffed the shares transfer agreement into her bag. “You don’t have to tear it. I’ll keep it for you.”

The secretary happened to come into the office to serve Melissa a cup of milk. After casually taking a sip, Melissa said, “I’ve got to go because I have something to do.” Then, she strode out of the office swiftly as if she was being pursued.

The secretary was perplexed as she observed Melissa’s back. “Why did Mrs. Alston leave in such a rush? Isn’t it better for her if you rip the shares transfer agreement up? What made her stop you?” When the secretary entered the office, she happened to see that scene. She was baffled, so she tilted her head. However, she soon realized that she had overstepped her boundary, so she immediately bowed her head to apologize. “I’m sorry, Miss Dillon.”

Amelie did not say anything but waved her hand.

The secretary left quickly and closed the door.

Her frown tightened. Even the secretary found it strange. It might make sense if it were someone else, but Melissa has always been extremely selfish. She’d want me to just destroy it given her character. While she was deep in thought, a phone call from Victor came.

Victor would never call her for no reason, so she frowned as she quickly picked up the phone.
