The Return of the Disguised Princess novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Leila Returned Without Success

Amelie purposefully brought up the past to twist the knife in Leila’s old wounds, and showed Leila how much dirt she had on

her.

The past never truly disappeared.

Sure enough, Leila’s expression curdled when she heard this. She glared daggers at Amelie.

“What do you mean by dredging up the past? Do you think you can walk all over me just because you know some stale gossip?”

Leila stormed up to Amelie, blazing with her eyes.

“Of course not. I was just curious why you came crawling back. And what makes you so sure you’ll become the Byron family’s daughter–in–law. As far as I know, Mr. Byron feels nothing for the likes of you.”

Amelie’s words were vicious barbs no one could stand to hear.

Murder flashed in Leila’s eyes. She snatched up a wine glass from the table, poised to dash the wine over Amelie’s head.

But Amelie was no wilting flower. She immediately saw Leila’s intention and shoved her hard.

Leila stumbled, nearly toppling over.

She caught herself against the wall, but the wine glass slipped from her fingers.

“How dare you hit me!”

“What, is there a problem? I’m just paying you back in kind. I learned from the best. Aren around, flaunting the Aylward family name?”

you always throwing your weight

“All right, all right, I’ll let you off this time but don’t think I’ll be so merciful again. You just wait! I’ll make you pay for this!”

She wiped the stains from her dress and glowered at Amelie with undisguised malice.

“Lamont will only ever be mine. Only I qualified to be the Byron family’s daughter–in–law!”

Leila shrieked in frustration. She flung open the door and stormed out of the room.

Only then did the private room regain its calm.

Rex quietly looked at her. He had meant to intervene when he saw Belen was bullied. But after witnessing Amelie’s composed handling of the situation, he realized his interference was unnecessary.

After Leila left, Rex walked over to Amelie.

“I didn’t expect her to come back so arrogant. It seems she’s not afraid of suffering another accident.”

“That’s right. We can’t let someone like her off easily. Don’t worry, Rex. I have a way to deal with her.”

“How do you plan to deal with her? Do you mean to confront her directly? Don’t forget the Aylward family is in its prime now. Dealing with them may prove even harder.”

Amelie didn’t answer but had a strategy in mind.

Leila rushed off in a huff. After leaving the hotel, she got into the car.

She had come to negotiate terms with Amelie and force the latter to leave, but she didn’t get the results she wanted.

Sitting in the car, she fumed.

After finishing their meal, Amelie and Rex hurried upstairs.

Amelie still had unfinished work and really didn’t want to waste her energy on Leila. She was ready to get some much–needed

rest.

She was lost in thought. So many things had happened in the past few days.

Lying in bed, she couldn’t help thinking about Lamont.

He was very kind to her, but she didn’t want to accept his kindness.

As she was drifting off to sleep, a message suddenly came in and jolted her awake.

Amelie checked her phone and found a message from Lamont.

Speak of the devil.

She checked out the message.

[I know Leila came to you today. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it and not let her hurt you.]
