Chapter 99 Leo Wants to Kick You Out

"Please leave," Amelie said after a pause.

The smile on Elyse's face froze suddenly because of those words as she glared at Amelie like a mad woman.

Immediately, she accused angrily, "Are you in your right mind? Do you still not get it?"

Soon, however, she nodded her head as if coming to a realization. "Is 20 million not enough? You can increase the price as you wish!"

"Why should I be leaving instead of you guys?" Amelie didn't bother glancing at the check.

I'm filthy rich, alright!

Elyse was speechless.

Amelie threw the check back into Elyse's arms and stated, "You want a peaceful life, do you, Miss Clayton? Are you afraid that the existence of me and Bria will disrupt your happy life? If that is the case, you should leave voluntarily. Shouldn't that be for the best? As for what people say about me and Bria, that is our issue to solve. Just mind your own business!"

Elyse was still dumbfounded. The graceful aura she had set up collapsed instantly after Amelie said those words. Her flawless princess-like face slowly distorted due to anger and she was so enraged that her teeth clenched!

After Amelie said that, she snickered and pulled her arm away from Elyse's hand.

However, just as she pulled it away, Elyse grabbed her arm again.

This time, she clenched it tightly.

"Amelie Dillon, look at the check properly. Where did the check come from?"

Amelie lowered her head and saw the name clearly written on the payable of the check: Genesis Company!

"Understand now? This is what Leo wants. He is tired of you always picking on me and wants you to leave! Of course, you can choose to stay, but I can't guarantee what he might do to you. You should be aware of how merciless he is."

"Is that so?" Amelie responded lightly and backhanded Elyse.

Elyse winced in pain and let go of Amelie.

Amelie's expression was cold, but a smile appeared on the corner of her lips. "Let's wait and see!"

With that, she ignored Elyse's flushed face and strode toward the door to leave.

On the other side of the door, a figure showed up.

The man was dressed in leather, and his hands were hanging beside his body with fists clenched. Simultaneously, anger was painted across his face. That person was none other than Chris.

After receiving Julia's call about Amelie declaring war on him and wanting him to contact her, Chris decided to meet Amelie after much contemplation. When he arrived at Amelie's residence, he overheard the conversation between her and Toby, so he found out how badly Amelie had been hurt before. Chris was still in a daze after discovering the unfortunate incidents Amelie had experienced and failed to notice that she had gotten into the car.

He also happened to see someone holding her hostage.

Chris chased after them and intended to save her, but he soon found that Amelie was not taken to any dangerous place but instead to a hospital. Out of curiosity, he quietly followed them without alarming anyone.

When Ashton left, the door was not closed tightly, so he could see everything in the room at a glance.

Of course, he didn't miss Elyse's arrogant remarks.

Amelie was his queen!

Chris had always been haughty and rarely submitted to others. Thus, when he admired someone, he would give all his respect to them.

Through Toby, he found out all the shameful things Elyse had done to Amelie.

Elyse didn't just refuse to admit her mistake, she even tried to drive Amelie away!

If he were to put himself in Amelie's shoes, he wouldn't have left either!

How can she bully Amelie?! Muttering to himself, he fished out his phone. Since Amelie didn't want to get involved in this matter, he should take care of it on her behalf. Thinking of that, he dialed a number. "There's something I need you to help me with..."

Not long after Amelie left, Ashton returned to Elyse's ward.

"Did Amelie pick on you?" Ashton hurriedly asked with concern.

When she saw Ashton, Elyse was enraged. "What's wrong with you? Why did you bring her here?"

Seeing her furious appearance, he explained anxiously, "I couldn't just do nothing! She should have apologized to you. She bullied you, didn't she? I'll talk to her now!" With that said, he intended to leave.

"That's enough!" Elyse yelled at him. Her lowered lashes showed disdain for him.

She was enraged not because Ashton caused trouble to Amelie, but because he failed to win Amelie and instead increased her own burden!

"What if she spills nonsense to Leo after you brought her here? You know how hostile Leo is to me these days! He'll definitely be furious." She pouted.

Hearing what she said, Ashton quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, I was the one who planned out everything today, so it has nothing to do with you." This was exactly what Elyse wanted.

Though she was satisfied, she didn't let it show. Clutching the blanket with her fingers, she sighed. "Even though I wasn't the one who made her come, I couldn't help saying some harsh words to her... and I even gave her the check and told her to leave! I was too hot-headed earlier."

While saying that, she hugged her head and made a regretful look.

Seeing her like that, Ashton felt heartbroken and comforted her, "Don't think too much. If Amelie really tells on you to Leo, I'll say I did it."

"Am I that type of person who'd let you bear the responsibility?" She pretended to disagree.

He didn't say anything, but he had made up his mind that he was going to take full responsibility.

Elyse and Ashton had known each other for a long time, so she knew his character very well.

When he stopped talking, she was certain that he would take the blame for her.

That was exactly what she needed.

Ashton's tactfulness made her heave a sigh of relief, but when she thought of Amelie's refusal to leave, she felt angry and annoyed all over.

"Amelie is such an annoying brat!" She twisted the corner of the blanket and shouted irritably.

Imagining the blanket in her hand as Amelie, she felt the urge to strangle her to death!

Amelie had become successful now, but that wasn't frightening. What worried Elyse was that Amelie was Big Eyes!

If Leo found out the truth, Elyse would be doomed!

It was for this reason that Elyse desperately wanted Amelie to leave.

"Don't worry. I will help you deal with Amelie slowly. I promise to make her life worse!" Ashton promised her.

Even Elyse's slightest temper tantrum would make him give her full attention.

"Pfft. You're better off staying still and doing nothing!" Elyse couldn't help but gave him an eye roll.

Her eye roll made him shrug a little, a sense of frustration surging in his heart.

Elyse was a woman whom he admired very much, and he had always wanted to do something to make a big splash and impress her, but he just couldn't do anything well. Just as he was deep in thought, his phone rang.

Ashton took the call in front of Elyse.

However, upon hearing what the other party said on the phone, he couldn't help pulling a long face.

Once the call was disconnected, his dark orbs turned gloomy.

He looked at Elyse worriedly but hesitated to speak.

Sensing something off with him, Elyse asked, "What's the matter?"

Only then did he sigh and say, "It's... It's out."

"What's out?" She couldn't connect the dots.

Ashton whispered a few words to her.

After hearing that, Elyse turned pallid as she froze on the spot.
