When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172

A conversation between Elyse and Ashton immediately came from the voice recorder. It was the part where Elyse encouraged Ashton to help her that day!

“How… How did you become like this?” Laura’s eyes were full of pain and regret.

Elyse’s eyes were wide open. She couldn’t believe it at all! She never imagined that someone recorded what she said! It is over; I’m completely finished!

Extreme panic caused her to cover her mouth tightly. She could barely stand as her legs were shaking. In fact, she could fall at any time!

Besides, she was now aware of one thing-just now, Leo didn’t intend to obtain any results at all but simply wanted to force her to admit her mistake!

He had been treating her like she was a fool.

“Leo, you b’stard!” she yelled hysterically, covering her face in embarrassment.

Leo did not stop walking away because of her yelling. At this moment, Elyse fell into deep despair and pain. Furious, she was unwilling to give up. After pushing Laura away, she chased after Leo without caring about her image and stopped in front of him. “So what if there is evidence? Ashton is your friend, and I have a relationship with you. To Amelie, we are all partners in crime. What we do are all authorized by you. Leo, you can’t whitewash yourself. You will never get off scot-free!”

She had suffered twice in one night and her reputation was long gone. She was acting like a shrew most viciously and frantically. Leo didn’t even bother to look at her and walked straight past her. She was left alone in the cold, like a pile of discarded garbage that no one cared about…

Elyse covered her face in pain and simply squatted down. She burst into tears. Her image was in tatters, but fortunately, this was a high-end club, so no one would come to take pictures of her. After crying for a long time, Elyse felt someone grabbing her shoulders. Then, she was forced to stand up. She looked up and saw the silhouette of a face against the light.

The man said, “This matter has a hugely negative impact on you, but I can help you. I can find a way to eliminate all these mistakes perfectly.”

Elyse’s body trembled. It was undeniable that she was tempted by the proposal. Nobody wanted a lawsuit, especially a public figure like her. But immediately after, a dark determination flashed across her eyes. “No, I will face it!”

Eliminating all these mistakes meant that nobody would be in the wrong. This was not what she

wanted.

“It’s not worth using self-destruction to gain satisfaction.”

Elyse had long been used to his sarcasm, so she only turned her face away in discomfiture and clenched her fingers again and again. She had fallen into a kind of ludicrous obstinacy. Even if she was required to self-destruct, she would still do it if it meant getting to see Leo and Amelie confront each other and cut ties for good!

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the trial. As the case involved minors, it was not heard in public. Even if it was so, Elyse who was sitting in the dock was still in extreme humiliation. She felt that everyone who passed by her was looking at her with mockery. Judges… Lawyers… They were all laughing at her. She had no choice but to keep cheering herself up and telling herself that it didn’t matter. It’s worth it to trade my humiliation for the clean break between Leo and Amelie.

As she was just thinking about it, the door opened, and Amelie and Julia walked in side by side. Amelie was holding Bria by the hand. When Elyse saw Amelie, her eyes lit up with a victorious look. While they walked by her, Elyse sneered and taunted, “Amelie, if you think you’ve already won, you’d better stop dreaming!”

After that, her sharp gaze fell on Bria. However, Amelie just glanced at her quietly. Without saying anything, she led Bria and Julia away toward the plaintiff’s seats.

After a while, Leo also arrived. Seeing Leo, Elyse deliberately raised her voice and called him, “Leo, over here!”

Leo didn’t even look at her, but Toby behind him let out a chuckle. Elyse’s heart ached from being ignored by him, but then she thought that even if he didn’t want to, he still had to fight side by side with her. When she thought of how he would stand on the dock, it made her feel much better. Then, she purposely gave way to let Leo in.
