Chapter 93 Never Forgotten a Word He Said
The woman wore a relatively simple outfit with no decorative components or any valuable jewelry. Her neck and arms were bare, and she merely donned a pair of casual high-heeled sandals. However, such simplicity perfectly highlighted her fair skin and exceptional facial features.
Along with her long hair draped behind her back, she looked like a beautiful goddess from the heavens. Her beauty easily defeated every woman at the scene and made the exquisitely dressed-up Elyse look tacky.
“Who’s that?” The crowd focused on the woman and began their guesses.
When Elyse saw the duo, she froze on stage while her smile stiffened into a rictus.
Laura, on the other hand, looked like she had seen a ghost and turned to look at Elyse, whose body shook before she instinctively glanced at Leo.
He stared fixedly at the red figure with tightly knitted eyebrows. “Isn’t that Amelie?”
Finally, someone from the crowd recognized her.
“Oh my gosh! What a drastic change.”
“That’s a different person.”
Everyone could not help but be shocked as they began associating that lady with the quiet, invisible woman from the Alston Family.
After recognizing her, the crowd stared at the trio with meaningful gazes.
A person piped up, “This scene… feels like a déjà vu from four years ago.”
No further explanation was needed as everyone in the crowd knew about the incident from four years ago. It was where Elyse was accused of cheating, and the three publicly confronted each other.
When everyone recalled that scene, their expressions became even more intriguing.
On the other hand, Elyse suddenly felt dizzy after hearing those words. I thought Amelie wouldn’t have the guts to appear in public, but she came… Plus, her appearance has reminded everyone of my cheating incident from four years ago! Damn it!
Her face appeared ashen, and her legs felt like jelly. However, she could not find the courage to speak.
Noticing the public’s gaze, she felt her heart dip as if she was falling into her doom. The more arrogant and prouder she had been, the more humiliated she felt now!
When Ashton returned and saw Amelie standing at the entrance, he yelled, “What are you doing here? You’re not welcome here, so scram!”
No matter how much he screamed, Amelie acted like she did not hear him and completely ignored him. Instead, she looked at Elyse with a faint smile, causing the panicking lady to shiver.
“Miss Dillon, don’t you think it’s rude to crash someone’s party?” Laura spoke up for Elyse.
Not having any other tricks up her sleeves, Elyse swayed and fell into Leo’s arms.
“Leony.” She tugged on his sleeve pitifully, acting weak and vulnerable.
He helped her to her feet and finally spoke, “Ashton, please see Miss Dillon and Miss White out the door!”
Ashton had wanted to kick them out long ago, and Leo’s words permitted him to do so. With a wave of his hand, he called for security. “Throw them out!”
Moments later, the security guards arrived and reached for Amelie’s arm.
However, she merely raised her palm slightly, and the security guards were so stunned that they froze because of her strong demeanor.
The beautiful yet domineering woman rendered them at a loss for what to do.
“Miss Clayton, don’t you have something to say?” Julia questioned while looking at Elyse on the stage.
Meanwhile, Elyse pitifully clutched onto Leo’s shirt with her eyes closed as if she was overwhelmed by the situation. Glaring at the two women, Leo asked, “Amelie, have you forgotten what I’ve said?”
“Of course not,” she replied in a clear voice while looking at him calmly.
