My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272

Holding her neck. Elyse coughed vigorously, nearly hacking her lungs out.

"You should know there's a price to pay for deceiving me." Leo's cold tone came from above her.

Still choking for her life, she felt tears rolling down her cheeks as this terrifying man stunned her. She frilly believed Leo was adamant about strangling her to death earlier. Although she had always known of his cruelty, it was today she realized she had underestimated him. There's no end to how cruel he can be!

Up to this point, she knew’ she could not admit to her deeds no matter what. Once she did. she would die a dog's death. Leo doesn't have any evidence anyway, and I didn't leave any signs behind.

With this in mind. Elyse clenched her teeth and nodded. "I did go to the race track that day and texted Ashton to increase the difficulty of the track layout. I was upset inside and wanted to teach Amelie a lesson. I never thought there'd be something wrong with the logs."

She communicated that rapidly out of fear that his grip might tighten around her neck if she spoke any slower. The sensation of death, pain, and desperation was something she never wanted to experience again.

"I mean, it was Amelie w’ho insisted on being completely blindfolded when Ashton kept emphasizing only one eye was to be covered. If not for her stubbornness, such a dangerous tiling wouldn't have happened, though it did prove her abilities. Even under those circumstances, she still came out unscathed. I don't understand why you're suddenly pinning the blame on me. I-I-I feel so wronged."

Her tears started to fall, yet they stemmed from fear rather than aggrievement.

Still, she knew if the secret about Amelie's cornea remained unexposed. Amelie could only blame herself for this incident at the end of the day. From the outsiders' perspectives, it w’as her ego that caused her the consequences.

"Leony. if you care about her. you should talk her out of it. It isn't safe to be blindfolded for a bet."

Leo did not move. Although Elyse could not be trusted, he indeed saw Amelie competing blindfolded, twice.

"Why is she so adamant about targeting you?" he asked.

Sensing that his tone had softened, she slowly stood up with her puffy eyes. "I don't know’ either. I've been pondering ox er this and thought she might've misunderstood me. just like you did. Since she saw’ me that day. she must've thought I was the one pulling the strings. That explains why she is so fixated on mining me." she stated while drying her tears.

Coming from an actor background, Elyse w’as able to pull off a pitiful look with ease despite her subpar acting chops. While she bit her lip. she looked at the ground all teary-eyed with tears dripping from her cheeks. She perfectly illustrated how 'wronged' she felt.

"It better be just like what you said." Leo did not show any sympathy for the pitiful-looking w’oman before him. As if liis heart had been frozen, he found it hard to be patient with her again. Then, he turned around.

The fact that he was about to leave made Elyse realize she was safe. Placing her hands on her chest, she breathed deeply.

"If—" The man did not begin walking. Instead, his cold voice echoed. "If I come to know you were lying, you'll experience pain worse than death!"
