A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Even though anger was written all over his face, Leo still looked so handsome that it incurred the wrath of all mortals and immortals alike.

He still exuded an untouchable sense of regal aura.

“Amelie, are you done wreaking havoc? Go home if you’re done!” He suppressed his emotions as he ordered.

Looking at his deep, raging look, Amelie smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Alston, we are no longer married. Does it bother you if I’m wreaking havoc or not? And why do you care if I’m done or not? This is none of your

business.”

The reason for Leo to be this furious is simply that I have provoked Elyse and am at risk of humiliating her.

I may not be the one who started up this matter, but I will never let Elyse go just because he’s unhappy!

Her words made Leo frown hard. “Think carefully. Racing is no joking matter. You can get yourself killed in minutes! Aren’t you a bit too foolish to disregard your life just to prove yourself?!”

Foolish? Well, he thinks everything I do is foolish.

Thinking of this, Amelie looked down. Her gaze was sorrowful as she said, “I have done so many foolish things, so why should you be bothered about this one?”

The blue veins on Leo’s hands abruptly bulged as soon as she stopped.

Not only that, blue veins even throbbed all over his forehead.

Is she saying that her four-year marriage with me was a foolish decision?

Is she classifying all the kindness she showed me back then under the list of her foolish acts?

Despite always disliking Amelie, he felt a sudden discomfort all over after he heard her completely dismiss all the memories that she had in the Alston Residence in such a way.

“Mr. Alston, you sure are persistent. Could it be that you have developed feelings for me?” Amelie purposely said as she lowered her head and looked at his veiny hand that was clasping the door handle.

E

Like getting electrocuted, Leo suddenly retracted his hand. A hint of antipathy was visible in the corner of his eyes as he retorted, “Don’t be delusional!”

Taking advantage of the situation, she got into the car and reversed the car, drawing a distance between her and Leo.

Then, she turned her car around and arrived at the starting point.

A deep sense of gloom gathered under her eyebrow as she thought, Of course, I won’t dare to be delusional and think that Leo would have developed feelings for me. I just wanted to end this meaningless conversation quickly

The finals would be held in the form of a challenge match. However, the losing party would be eliminated directly

As for those who won, they could continue challenging the racers they wanted to challenge.

As soon as Amelie’s car stopped, Julia jumped in.

“Are you seriously letting me compete with her?” Amelie asked with somewhat unease in her voice. “Don’t you think we are bullying her?”

“She did bully you often, didn’t she? Julia corresponded with another question.

Amelie went silent. That being said, Elyse did pick on me quite often.

She might appear not to be around Leo and me in these years, but in truth, she influenced every second of our

life

From how he dumped me in the snow in the first place to his ignoring me when I gave birth in the hospital and his divorcing me later.

Even my four-year-long harsh marriage was filled with Elyse’s dirty means.

I, too, only recently learned about lots of things.

Elyse’s viciousness didn’t lie in snatching Leo away from me. Instead, she would unleash a fatal strike every time I saw hope, pushing me back into an inferno.

And I was like a marionette controlled by Elyse.

With a pull and release of the strings, she controlled my life. She made me experience life and death and overwhelmed me with sorrow.

Suddenly, Julia’s voice sounded, snapping Amelie out of her thoughts. “So, let’s do this!” Julia said as she pumped her fist at Amelie.

Amelie hummed and put on her safety helmet upon hearing that.

Across from them, Elyse and her co-driver walked over.

Elyse’s facial expression wasn’t looking very good at this moment.

Initially, she wanted to humiliate Amelie. Yet, in the end, she was the one being humiliated instead.

For that reason, she was feeling extremely upset.

After all, her original intention had always been about letting everyone see that Amelie was never on par with her.

She wanted everyone to know that she was top-tier while Amelie was nothing but a commoner.

I can achieve my goal if I win against the top-ranking racers, as long as Amelie doesn’t challenge me to a race.

But now… If I win against Amelie, others will think that I’m picking on the weak.

If I lose…

Lose? How can I possibly lose?

“Miss Clayton, don’t think too much. Just crush her with your real strength later and teach her how to properly behave,” Elyse’s co-driver said sinisterly while banging the helmet on the car door.

At the same time, she got into the car.

Pursing her lips a little, she said, “No. I won’t do that. As a matter of fact, not only will I not do that, but I won’t embarrass her, too. I will only race at a speed that’s slightly faster than hers.”

“Miss Clayton. Her co-driver was slightly stunned. However, as soon as the co-driver understood what she meant, she gave Elyse a thumbs up. “Genius!”
