Chapter 120
While Elyse knew Amelie had moved to Halport, she still felt uneasy about the situation.
Leo was only doting and tolerating her because he thought she was Big Eyes.
The moment he knew Big Eyes was actually Amelie, he would surely fall deeply in love with Amelie.
Amelie’s identity as Big Eyes was a ticking time bomb, and Elyse did not know when it would go off.
She would be utterly destroyed and torn to pieces the day it happened.
Her fists clenched tightly.
Just the mere thought of that happening was enough to fill her with dread, making her break out in a fit of cold sweat.
If that happened…
No, I have to find a way out of this!
She could not change the fact that Amelie was Big Eyes, so all she could do right now was worsen Leo’s relationship with Amelic.
As long as the hurt Leo dealt to Amelie was so deep and great that there was no way to repair their relationship. Amelie would definitely cut off ties with him.
After all, how could a ragged heart be healed?
Thinking that, Elyse softly said. “It seems like Miss Dillon is truly together with Starlight Media’s CEO. If
that’s the case, we will have to reconsider Bria’s situation. Bria is a child of the Alstons. It would be
inappropriate for her to follow Amelie to her new husband’s family. While Miss Dillon loves the child, she will
inevitably be stuck in a tough spot between Bria and her new family.”
“She might be great at racing, but she is so much weaker when it comes to handling her relationship with her in-laws. If something does happen, it will not just be the child affected; her happiness will be affected as well.”
She spoke in an extremely considerate tone, trying her best to make herself seem kind and virtuous.
While she did not say everything on her mind, her message was clear.
With how bad Amelie was at personal relationships and how her in-laws would definitely make life hard for Bria, there was no way Amelie could protect Bria. In the end, the child would be hurt.
As expected, as soon as she said that, Leo scowled with his face locked in a severe expression.
Just then, Toby walked into the room. When he saw Elyse leaning so close to Leo that almost every inch of her was pressed against his skin, his lips tilted upward in an imperceptible smirk.
While it was a tiny smirk that soon disappeared, Elyse still noticed Toby’s disdain for her.
He was silently making fun of her. When Leo thought the world of her back then, she did not cherish his love.
Even now with the name “Big Eyes” making Leo stay, her admiration was still one-sided.
Her heart clenched in pain.
It seemed like she would always be nothing in Toby’s eyes.
To him. Amelie would forever be better than her.
Elyse was just that egotistical. She wanted every man in the world to fall for her, to think the world of her.
“Starlight Media will be hosting their 7th-anniversary dinner party soon. Will you go?” Toby asked Leo, ignoring Elyse.
He sat down opposite Leo and continued, “Perhaps there will be a pleasant surprise.”
He then threw an invitation card on the table which had Amelie’s name written on it.
Leo immediately snatched up the card, holding it so tightly that the tip of his fingernail stabbed into the name.
Elyse spotted Amelie’s name as well. “What does this mean? Why would they invite everyone in her name?”
“Starlight Media’s CEO is doing this to tell everyone that doting on her is not just something he speaks of.”
Jealousy flashed in Toby’s eyes.
He thought he was a competitor in the game, but he still-lost to Starlight Media’s boss.
“Evidently, he wants to push Amelie forward so that she would be in charge of the entire company,” Elyse exclaimed. Her heart was filled with envy and frustration.
She had always thought Leo was the most extreme case of a doting man.
However, nothing Leo did was worth comparing to what Amelie had.
After all, not many men would dare to fool around with their businesses and career.
