When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie) novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92 Leo Gave Her a Sense of Superiority

“What is it?” Ashton asked.

He had always fulfilled every one of Elyse’s requests.

Elyse’s sleek eyebrows twitched slightly. “I want to know whether Amelie’s child is Leony’s.”

“Are you suspecting…” A trace of hesitation appeared on his rugged features.

She pressed her lips together. “Just investigate this for me. Don’t worry about anything else.”

“Is there really a need for that? She said herself that the child isn’t related to Leony. I’m sure that’s the case. She is a cunning woman. She would have used the child if she really was Leony’s.”

Ashton might come from a wealthy family, but he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

This was the reason Elyse didn’t have high hopes for him.

He could tell that she was unhappy by the way she fell quiet.

Seeing her reaction, Ashton didn’t dare say anything other than agree to help her. “Alright. I’ll do it for you.”

After twenty minutes, Elyse went downstairs with Laura beside her.

The off-white couture gown with a long train made Elyse look like a princess.

Each of the hundreds of diamond splints inlaid on the garment was priceless.

Laura seemed to fade into the background by contrast as her simple dress was immediately overshadowed by Elyse.

Even so, Laura gazed at Elyse with a look of admiration. Only a woman as beautiful and elegant as Elyse is worthy of Leo!

“Elyse, why didn’t you tell everyone that Mr. Alston is the one who held this birthday party for you? More people would have come if you did.” Laura was puzzled.

Many of the guests were here after Ashton invited them using his connections.

Even though he was an important figure himself, he was nowhere on Leo’s level.

Elyse only smiled. “It’s alright.”

What she wanted was to leave a big impact! The guests wouldn’t be able to remember this day for the rest of their lives if she had revealed the secret too early.

Anyway, everyone will know that we’re a couple again after he’s here.

Those who didn’t come would eventually find out from those who did attend the party.

It wouldn’t make a difference.

The guests appeared slightly perfunctory even after Elyse walked down the stairs. A few of them asked about her relationship with Ashton.

She sipped her wine and responded formally, “I have known him for many years. We are good friends.”

Everyone’s eyes instantly went dim when they heard that.

They quietly complained about coming all the way here for Ashton’s sake only to find out that Ashton and Elyse were mere friends.

Those in the business industry were all about profit.

Since Elyse and Ashton were no closer than friends, and Ashton wasn’t even here, many of them were already thinking of leaving.

They didn’t want to waste their time on someone who didn’t matter.

However, Elyse didn’t mind at all even as she watched them turn their back on her.

But at this moment, the door was opened from outside, and a tall and straight figure appeared.

The person with clear eyebrows and cold eyes looked more noble and remarkable than anyone here.

“Leony.” Seeing that person, Elyse raised her eyebrows and smilingly went up to welcome him.

Her hands naturally rested on his. “Why are you only here now? Was the traffic bad?”

Everyone abruptly stopped in their tracks when they saw Leo.

A myriad of emotions swam in their eyes.

Laura was the first person to speak out. “Surprise! Mr. Alston organized this birthday party for Elyse!”

The crowd’s gazes immediately changed when they heard her words.

They looked resentful and dismissive just a moment ago, but their wide eyes were now shining with surprise, envy, and jealousy.

Elyse enjoyed all the attention.

This was what she wanted to see!
