When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 246

“Urgh!” As Elyse returned to Michael’s house, she constantly stomped and kicked to throw a tantrum. The news of Amelie going public with her ‘relationship’ had put Elyse in a very passive position.

Her investors fled and abandoned her while reporters followed her relentlessly. In fact, her original residence was surrounded by reporters, so she could only temporarily escape to Michael’s place.

The conditions at Michael’s place were bad and inconvenient, so she had to negotiate with Amelie to try to calm things down. Not only did I fail, but I was also bullied by that damn woman!

As she looked at the scratch on her nose in the mirror, she was so enraged that she wanted to eat Amelie alive. Did that woman have some mighty pills? Where does her strength come from?

Recalling the scene made her body establish a conditioned reflex as her body trembled involuntarily.

How can I show myself with a scar like this on my flawless face? She had always viewed appearance as her life, so the injury was not just a display of Amelie’s aggression; it was Amelie going after her life!

Even though a thousand ways to get revenge on Amelie and tear her to pieces ran through Elyse’s mind, she couldn’t find anyone willing to help her after going through her contacts. Those men who used to pursue her would extend an olive branch and flirt with her, but after learning that she might play for the other team, they all blocked her.

Only Ashton still treated her as before, but since his injury from the car race, his father had kept him at home. So, he couldn’t move an inch from there. As for Leo, the only feeling he had for her was disgust, so he would never help her. No matter how hard she tried to think of a way, she had nothing but dead ends.

As she was annoyed and frustrated, she saw Ellen walking toward her, munching on a piece of bread. Instantly, she strode over and snatched the bread from her hand, throwing it into a garbage bin. “All you ever do is eat, eat, eat! You’ll eat yourself to death!”

With a mouthful of bread still in her mouth, Ellen started crying and wailing when she saw her bread being tossed into the garbage bin. This made bits of breadcrumbs fly all over Elyse’s face.

Ignoring her appearance, Ellen rushed over and flipped the garbage bin over, trying to retrieve her bread.

At this moment, Elyse was speechless. Her image was completely ruined with breadcrumbs all over her face. While covering her face, she screamed, “Do you have a death wish?!”

Meanwhile, Ellen was solely focused on retrieving her bread and didn’t hear what Elyse said at all. After living on the streets for many years, she knew that food shouldn’t be wasted, even though her mental state was not entirely clear.

Seeing her scavenging for food, Elyse didn’t feel pity for her but rather grew even angrier. “Even you are picking on me now!”

With a stride, she rushed over and kicked Ellen in the back. Clang! Ellen fell into the garbage bin and toppled over with it.

“What are you doing? Why did you hit your sister? Do you want to die?” Michael happened to return from an errand with various bags in his hands. When he saw Ellen on the ground, he dropped everything and rushed to help her up. While assisting her, he brushed the garbage off her clothes and gave Elyse an angry look. “Don’t you know that she is our lucky star? Our future success depends on her. If you hurt her and anything serious happens to her, you’ll be sorry when Leo finds out!”

At the mention of Leo, Elyse couldn’t help but shudder. She began to regret laying her hands on Ellen, but she still refuted the truth and yelled, “Well, she’s annoying!”

“Bread. My bread.” Ellen wasn’t in the mood for their argument about her, as her eyes were only on the bread covered in garbage. She continued to stretch out her hand to reach for it.
