A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 180

At night, Leo went to Prix Bar. His usual straight-backed posture was nowhere to be seen. He remained there and was quiet until Victor walked in.

When he raised his head slightly and Victor, his gaze slightly sharpened on Victor.

Although Victor didn’t say anything. Leo knew that he had found something in his investigation.

The price to pay for hiring Victor may be sky-high, but he had to admit that the man was very

efficient.

“How did it go?” he asked after a few seconds of silence.

Victor nodded. “Miss Dillon has a fixed income in her account. The amount every month is not fixed, but never less than one million. The money was stated as tips and had nothing to do with Starlight Media.”

“Tips?” Just a second ago, Leo was expressionless, but now he looked taken aback. “What tips?”

The confidence in Amelie piqued his curiosity, but of course, it was because he felt responsible toward Brianna that he asked Victor to investigate her income status.

“I’m not certain.” An uneasy look washed over Victor’s face. “It seems like these tips have been deliberately handled so that the source couldn’t be traced.”

While they were speaking, Toby and Ashton arrived.

Since that last time when Elyse instigated Ashton to abduct Brianna to Leo’s place, Ashton was severely punished by his father and was just released tonight.

A sneer that was clearly marked with disgust appeared on his lips when he heard Leo checking up on Amelie, and this disgust was more distinguished than it was in the past. After that, he jeered, “What kind of tips can a woman like her receive? She’s useless, and only her face and body are pleasing to the eyes. Most probably, she’s making dirty money at some explicit places.”

When Toby heard that, he furrowed his brows slightly in disgruntlement, but he didn’t say anything and turned to Leo, only to find him frowning, looking deep in his thoughts.

Meanwhile, Ashton had shifted all the blame for his punishment on Amelie, and he was full of hate for her. He took big strides over to the table, stopped opposite Leo, and sat down ungracefully. There was no hiding the displeasure on his face as he helped himself to a glass of

wine.

While he raised his glass, he stopped and put on a sneer. “As far as I know, many adult websites from abroad are recruiting the girls here with lucrative conditions. Those men are very generous, giving huge tips every time. Only these websites will deliberately hide their tracks when paying

commissions so people can’t trace back the specific channels.” Then, he purposely glanced at Leo.. “Think about it. Why would anyone be worried about getting found out if it’s money from proper channels? What’s the reason for hiding the source?”
