When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124

“Don’t worry, Miss White, I won’t think too much about it. After all, Leo and I are childhood sweethearts, and the relationship between us is unmatched. So, even if I’m a bit willful, he’s willing to let it go. Sigh, sometimes I also feel helpless about his kindness. I hope he can stop focusing on me and care more about himself.”

Elyse said these words with a straight face. Although she was speaking to Julia, it was obvious that she was flaunting in front of Amelie and clearly showing off.

Julia nodded obligingly. “Yeah, Miss Clayton, you’re living a happy life. I’m so envious. Look, Leo is so handsome and driven. He was able to turn Genesis into a leading enterprise in Clouson City. Ordinary people can’t reach this level.”

Is this a compliment to me and Leo?

When Elyse heard Julia’s words, she couldn’t help being taken aback. In all honesty, Elyse could not believe Julia would say something like that. Julia was the most venomous person she knew. Besides, Elyse was Amelie’s love rival, so how could Julia praise Elyse? The more Elyse thought about it, the warier she became, and she became extremely tense.

On the other hand, Julia sighed and said, “Our Elie is different. What a tough life she has.”

After she sighed, the ears of the surrounding staff pricked up to hear the impending gossip. At that moment. most of the staff gathered quietly around Julia, Elyse, and Amelie.

“Mr. Alston loves you to the core, Miss Clayton. Since you don’t want to get engaged, he hasn’t mentioned the matter of engagement until now. Our boss has made official announcements several times to name Elie as the female proprietor of Starlight Media. This is something that she can’t even reject. What’s more, he’s desperate to leave Starlight Media to Elie even before she marries him. Sigh, don’t you think it’s annoying to have such a useless boss?”

Julia spread her hands, tilted her head, and raised the corners of her eyebrows. The people around were eagerly waiting to hear Amelie’s tragic story, so they didn’t expect Julia to say that and burst out laughing.

Julia was not saying that Amelie was pitiful. She was clearly showing off the trust and support the boss of Starlight Media gave Amelie. On the other hand, Elyse had been in love with Leo for many years, yet he didn’t even arrange an engagement officially. Didn’t it mean that she was not favored by Leo?

The public quickly turned their sympathetic gazes to Elyse.

Amelie, who was next to them, had already guessed that Julia would not easily let Elyse go. Hearing what Julia said, she shook her head helplessly.

Julia, do you want Elyse to die in a fit of anger?

Elvse’s face was pale, especially when she saw the probing and pitying gazes from around her. She clenched fit.

It took a while for Elyse to suppress the flames in her heart that wanted to burn Julia to death. Then, she smiled gently. “This proves that Miss Dillon is capable.”

Her voice was intentionally soft as if she was sincerely praising Amelie. When she opened her mouth, she appeared to be full of grace and generosity, which contrasted with Julia’s vicious words. Julia didn’t expect that Elyse would secretly reverse the situation; her expression twisted wildly, and she wanted to retort. Just then, Amelie came over and pulled Julia to stop her.
