When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 252

“N-No reason!” answered Elyse stiffly before dashing away.

Meanwhile, Amelie slowly narrowed her eyes as she watched Elyse stagger away. Not even threatening to destroy her career could get her to speak out her reason… Why?

“I’m surprised you two have such a long history.”

A voice came out of nowhere while Amelie was in deep thought, and she turned around to find Fiona walking toward her with an ambiguous smile.

“I was wondering why you want to screw her up. So she nearly killed you, huh? So you have come for vengeance instead of love as you had claimed.”

Amelie smiled plainly when she saw it was Fiona, who was the only one who stood up for her when Elyse wanted to screw her up.

Hence, she had a pretty good impression of Fiona, despite being unfamiliar with her.

“Looks like you’re an inquisitive cat,” commented Amelie as she smiled ambiguously, leading Fiona to shake her head. “It’s not that I’m inquisitive, but that your show is very dramatic. Not even reality TV would dare come up with a script like this. That said, I really hadn’t come to eavesdrop. I overheard you two when I was touching up my makeup.”

At that, she extended an arm toward Amelie. “Fiona Shaw, a pleasure to know you.”

“Foxy.” Amelie returned the handshake.

Following that, the two went out.

“Clayton will certainly be kicked out of the show. Who do you think will fill in her spot?” Fiona asked while walking.

She had an innate sense of aloofness. It was no wonder she could play the lead role in shows like ‘The Legend of Princess Anastasia’. However, Amelie had no interest in it. “Beats me.”

Fiona paused her steps and smiled. “You sure are an interesting one.”

At that, she threw her hair back and commented, “Better not be another one who will send my heart racing. Can’t take too much drama when you’re getting on in years, you see.”

Fiona actually looked to be about Amelie’s age, yet she claimed to be old. Amelie thought the woman was getting more interesting by the second.

Everything had returned to normal by the time they returned to the set, and the other three guests were already in their seats. Notably, the skelf was ashen-faced despite having freshened up.

Amelie happened to have noticed the name ‘Lilith Quill’ written on the skelf’s name tag, and it was only then that she remembered the latter shot to fame recently for starring in a social satire drama alongside a veteran actor.

In the drama, she was a just and sensible person. But who’d have thought she’d be this muddle-headed in real life?

Lilith lifted her eyelids but ultimately dared not look at Amelie. Amelie didn’t bother herself with Lilith either, and she only greeted the other two guests with a nod as she walked past them.

As she was about to sit in the sixth seat, she suddenly noticed someone had already taken up Elyse’s seat, and the young woman exuded haughtiness despite wearing delicate makeup.

No, it wasn’t aloofness like Fiona’s but haughtiness.

Fiona’s aloofness derived from what society made her to be, but this young woman’s condescension evidently came from her family background. In fact, even her eyes were filled with contempt, and it inexplicably reminded her of her ex-mother-in-law, Melissa.

Then again, this young woman had everything to do with Melissa, for they were mother and daughter.

Yes, the young woman was the one and only Jodie Alston.

Even when Amelie had seen far too many things in life, she still couldn’t help being taken aback to encounter Jodie in such an event.

Has the ‘Show Your Love’ production team become so undiscriminating nowadays?

Of course, Jodie noticed Amelie too, but because Amelie wore a mask, Jodie didn’t make out who it was. Still, it didn’t stop her from looking up condescendingly.
