When I Was A Wallflower Chapter 209

“Eugene Cornelius?” Amelie had to search her mind for several moments before she remembered that he was Leo’s assistant. “Why?”

Eugene hesitated for a moment before answering, “Something’s happening here, and you’re the only one who can resolve the situation.”

“What is it?” Amelie’s curiosity was piqued.

Eugene glanced at the two men who were still tussling with each other and had no choice but to state honestly, “Mr. Alston has gotten into a fight with someone.”

“Leo Alston?” Amelie thought she had to get her ears checked. Leo’s a stoic iceberg. Why would he get into a fight with someone?

“That’s right.” Eugene felt ashamed to make this call for help, but he had to push through it anyway. He doubted that the two men would stop if Amelie didn’t show up.

“I’m sorry, but his matters have nothing to do with me.” After a moment of stunned silence, Amelie regained her senses and replied, “We’ve divorced. You should be calling his family.” While Eugene had been away for two years, there was no reason for him to not be aware of the divorce.

“I know.” Eugene’s head was throbbing. “But you know what Mr. Alston’s like. His family…”

Leo wouldn’t listen to Melissa, and Melissa didn’t have the guts to get involved either.

There was no point even considering Jodie.

Eugene didn’t know what he could say to convince Amelie.

After a while, he said, “He’s fighting with Mr. Walsh, and it seems to have started because of you.”

“Mr. Walsh? Toby Walsh?” Amelie was startled by what Eugene was telling her. She had the impression that Toby was a warm and pleasant gentleman. Would he get into a fight with someone?

“That’s right,” Eugene confirmed.

Amelie might not have gotten involved if it had been anyone else, but Toby was different. Previously, he saved her life, and now, he was her father’s mentee.

Amelie knew a thing or two about how strict the Walshes were when it came to their family upbringing. If this news got back to Toby’s family, he would be in for a hard time.

“Fine.” In the end, she agreed to go. After attending to Brianna, Amelie rushed over to Prix Bar.

Eugene looked as if his savior had arrived. “You’re here at last, Miss Dillon.”

Amelie eyed him and asked, “Where are they?” Before Eugene could answer, there was a loud bang as if something had crashed. Everyone jumped in shock while Eugene gave Amelie a sheepish glance.

Quite a number of bodyguards lined the corridor. This was to avoid letting anyone else find out that the two men were fighting.

Amelie was a little nervous as she opened the door.

The private room was completely thrashed and almost unrecognizable. The furniture was wrecked with most things missing a leg or two, but the two men were still going at each other. Now and then, the sound of someone’s fist pounding against the other’s body was heard. Even from the sound alone, one could tell just how painful the blow was.

Amelie looked at them. She saw the silhouette in black pouncing with agility. His attacks were quick and menacing.

Although the silhouette in white was a little less skillful, he was just as persistent.

Amelie never knew the two were that good at fighting, especially Leo. Her memory of him consisted of him being very proper and courteous despite his stern appearance. Even when he detested her, he never laid a finger on her. She never knew he could fight this well.

Thump! Another muffled sound of a fist making contact. Toby, the one in white, was punched so hard that he slammed into the wall.

Amelie couldn’t stand idly by any longer. “Stop!” she cried out.

The two men froze and turned toward her. Leo’s brows furrowed at once when he saw her. His eyes flitted straight over to Eugene.

Eugene was startled as he shrank back feeling a little helpless.
