My Sugar and Your Spice (Amelia and Leo) novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75

The instant the Bentley car door opened, a pair of long legs appeared from the vehicle as the designer leather shoes reflected the lights. Following that, a face with features that were as perfect as a piece of art was revealed. His thin lips and aquiline nose made him look one of a kind. His gaze was as calm as a still lake.

“Leo?” Amelie muttered under her breath as her chest tightened. Did Toby tell him to come over and pick me up? Has he found out that I’m Foxy?

While she was in her thoughts, Leo reached her and looked down at her. Then, with his hands in his pockets, he uttered impassively, “I was the one who dumped you in the snow. Just tell me how I can make it up to you. Certainly, money is the only thing I can give you.” Then, he fished out a check. “Just fill in any amount you

want.”

Amelie looked at the check that was flapping in the air. The piece of white paper was glaring into her eyes. “What do you mean?” she questioned.

Leo pressed his lips into a line without responding to her.

On the other hand, Amelie had figured it out. “Has Elyse told you something?”

However, Leo remained silent.

“I’ve come clean with Leo about lying to him in the past.” Elyse got out from the other side of the Bentley. “I shouldn’t have done it on a whim, and I’ve apologized to him. Leo just wants to make it up to you. Please accept the money, Miss Dillon.”

Although she appeared sincere, her gaze was provocative. When the incident was exposed by Amelie the day before, she pondered for a long time and eventually made up her mind. Rather than letting Amelie lead her by the nose, she decided to come clean to Leo.

Fortunately, the risk was worth it. Even though Leo was displeased, he decided to forgive her. He even offered to help her settle this issue.

A victorious smile played on Elyse’s lips while Amelie clenched her fists. There’s no limit to the extent of him conniving at Elyse’s actions, huh? Did she save the world in her previous life or something?

Without a word, Amelie took the check and fished out a pen.

The moment Elyse saw the check, her eyes curved with elation. She could hardly conceal her mockery and contempt.

To her surprise, Amelie didn’t write anything on the check. Instead, she passed the check back to the man. “Why don’t you give me all of the Alston Family’s fortune as compensation?”

Hearing that, Elyse was rendered speechless. Her eyes widened in disbelief as her pupils dilated.

On the other hand, Leo stiffened. Despite not saying anything, he was displeased at her outrageous greed.

Ignoring their expressions, Amelie put on a faint smile, which was as sweet as a pear in spring. Then, she cocked her head and glanced at Leo. “What’s wrong, Mr. Alston? Didn’t you just say I could fill in any amount I wanted? Now that I’ve stated it clearly, are you breaking your promise? In that case, what’s the point of all this?” With that, she lifted her chin and walked past them.

Behind her, an aggrieved Elyse balled up her fists. “Amelie has crossed the line, hasn’t she?”

Leo never moved a muscle while watching Amelie leave. He didn’t respond to Elyse, rendering her resentful. However, it wasn’t like she could say anything about it, so she uttered meekly, “Well, I suppose she doesn’t need any money as she has Starlight Media’s boss protecting her. I’m sorry for putting you in a tight spot, Leo. I shouldn’t have been so willful

Only then did Leo come to his senses. “Just don’t do it again.” Despite his dark expression, he spoke in a mild

voice.

Elyse nodded obediently. “Got it.”

The instant they got into the car, Leo leaned against the seat and closed his eyes. All of a sudden, he thought. of Big Eyes
