A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Blake did not care about Leo’s rage, nor did he bother to look at the others. Amelie was the only one in his eyes.

“Let’s go.”

He didn’t explain or blame her for anything, as though the farce earlier had never happened.

“Sure.” Amelie looked up at him gratefully and let him lug her forward with his arm around her shoulder.

The reporters couldn’t help but move to the sides and let them pass.

‘Damn! I was spooked. It didn’t happen, after all.’

Everything was on live stream, and the netizens started commenting enthusiastically.

‘They must be out of their minds to think that Foxy has hooked up with Mr. Alston. She and Blakey are partners.’

‘It was all Elyse’s fault for spouting nonsense.’

‘She must have done so intentionally. It’s not like it’s her first time slandering Foxy.’

‘I heard that she has tried to tarnish Foxy’s reputation on several occasions.’

‘Really? We should get to the bottom of it, then.’

…

As Elyse went through the comments that cursed at her and threatened to find out her wrongdoings, her face paled in horror.

She pressed her hands against her thighs and balled up her fists.

Initially, she thought that after she gave an explanation, the others would think that Leo and Amelie had joined forces to oppress her and that she was still the victim.

However, everything changed upon Blake’s arrival.

There wasn’t a need for Amelie to explain anything, and everyone believed that she was innocent.

My plan has failed again!

Although Elyse felt dejected, she wouldn’t dare to let her emotions show on her face. She then approached Leo, her body trembling slightly.

Leo did not look at anyone, nor did he move a muscle. Nonetheless, his gaze was as sharp as a knife.
