A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 20 Framed

The news shocked Elyse to her core.

She came all the way here for Leo, and she wasn’t despair even when faced with that kind of attitude from Leo.

However, he was now explicitly suggesting to revoke his divorce with Amelie.

As expected, it was all because of Amelie.

She silently clenched her hands into fists.

Her fingernails dug into her palm, causing blood to seep out.

Intense hatred filled her beautiful face.

“Four years ago, Leo and I broke up because of you, Amelie.

Now, you are back again with this.”

She had spoken so softly that one might have thought it was nothing important, yet the cold tilt of her lips would have made anyone who saw her shiver in fear.

She then walked to her computer and looked up an email that had been sitting in her inbox for several days.

After swiftly skimming through it, she clicked on one of the links attached.

…

While Amelie had yet to set office hours at Starlight Media, she still had to pop in since she was the boss.

Dressed in an all-white and sexy outfit, Julia glanced at her, snapped her fingers, and smiled brightly.

“Major headline related to your ex-husband.

Interested?”

“Not at all.” Amelie languidly looked up from her document.

Julia let out a tsk and sat down in front of her.

Then, ignoring Amelie’s reply, she began to tell Amelie all she knew.

“Last night, a certain assh*le’s computer was hit by a virus, leading to a lot of stuff being leaked.”

“Apparently,” she continued, “dual contracts were involved.

There is an uproar about it.

If the dual contracts truly exist, it might all be over for Elyse.”

Dual contracts existed mainly for tax evasion.

There had been many incidents of famous celebrities caught with tax evasion, and all of them were faced with the same punishment.

All of their careers died.

That was certainly major news.

Even though Amelie could not care less about it, she was still stunned upon hearing it that she forgot to keep her eyes trained on her document.

“Does it not feel amazing?” Julia pumped her fist as though revenge had been served.

“The wicked will not go unpunished.

If not for you, her career would have been destroyed back then.”

“She was ungrateful enough to ruin your marriage in return,” continued Julia.

“Serves her right!”
