A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 173

In the next moment, she slapped herself hard on the face. From the beginning to the end, she was the one being played. What was written on the paper was what Amelie said to Samuel just now. Amelie had never thought about going up against Leo at all, and she just wanted to give him a chance to prove his innocence! The ridiculous thing was that when Amelie calmly made the plan, Elyse was walking around like a clown, thinking that she had caused a rift between the two of them. She was too set on getting benefits when war broke out between them!

How ridiculous! It’s really ridiculous!

Elyse laughed so hard that she burst into tears and nearly couldn’t breathe properly. After a long time, her eyes rolled backward and she fell unconscious on the chair…

In the hospital, Elyse opened her eyes. In front of her, there were no flowers or smiling faces. There were only cold shackles before her. She asked the nurse for a phone, and then dialed the number with trembling hands. “Please, help me! I don’t want to go to jail, and I don’t want to be ruined!”

On the other side, there was no response.

Overwhelmed by despair, she weakly let the phone drop.

At the Alston Residence, when Melissa heard about what happened, she flew into a rage. “That useless Elyse was defeated so easily! I really wasted my time believing in her!”

Melissa was so angry that her facial features twisted in fury. It was one thing for Elyse to be undependable, and it was another thing entirely that her son was now helping Amelie! How could Melissa allow the child staying with Amelie to be the topic for outsiders to mock her?

Melissa cared about her image, so even if she got angry, she only did so in her room. She didn’t even dare to throw something to vent her anger, for fear that the servants would hear it and spread it to the outside world, which would affect her reputation. The more she cared about her reputation, the less she could accept the facts in front of her.

After a while Melissa stopped being upset and gasped for breath, thinking about how to save everything.

Just as she was thinking, the door was pushed open. “Mom, why are you hiding in the room so early in the morning?”
