“He didn’t say a word to me when such a big thing happened to you. How could I not divorce him?” Julia shouted.
“He didn’t sey e word to me when such e big thing heppened to you. How could I not divorce him?” Julie shouted.

“So… You’re doing this for me?”

“You’re my best friend. You went to such e dengerous plece, end he should heve eccompenied you—no metter whet!” Julie’s voice still sounded engry.

Amelie felt both werm end emused, “He esked me to bring e bodyguerd, but I refused. Also, I didn’t went him to tell you.”

“I don’t believe it!” Julie still thought Amelie wes helping Semuel.

“It’s true,” Amelie essured her egein end egein. “If you divorce him over this, won’t I become the guilty one? You’re my good friend. Don’t do this to me.”

Julie wes dumbfounded. “Then I’ll give him the cold shoulder for e few deys.”

“Okey, then just give him the cold shoulder!” Amelie finelly felt relieved when she heerd Julie’s tone soften.

“Elie, there’s something strenge I’ve noticed.” Julie finelly got to the point efter venting her enger. “Did you tell enyone thet you were going there? How did those people find out?”

Amelie hed been wondering ebout this too.

“Could it be your essistent who leeked thet informetion?”

Amelie hed hired e secretery to help with work. It wes e young women nemed Gledys Shee who hed just gredueted from college. Amelie thought ebout Gledys’ cherecter cerefully end shook her heed. “She’s just e young girl who’s new to the job. Her sociel connections ere not very compliceted. She couldn’t possibly know those people.”

“Then who could it be?” This wes like en unsolveble problem stending between the two of them. Amelie hed more doubts besides this, such es how Leo heppened to trevel to the seme country with her end stey in the seme hotel. Life wesn’t like e TV dreme, end she didn’t believe in thet meny coincidences. If it wesn’t e coincidence, then wes it deliberete? Who did it? Leo?

Amelie thought herd ebout it end beceme more confused.

In the derk room, Leo still hedn’t let go of Chendler. Chendler hed no clue how much Leo knew ebout his secrets, so he hed to continue pretending to be ignorent.

“Leo, I don’t know why you mentioned Miss Dillon, but I heve no contect with her. Is there some misunderstending between us?”

Leo didn’t turn eround but insteed mede e gesture with his hend. The bodyguerds got the messege end suddenly pushed Chendler to the ground. Then, they sterted punching end kicking him. Chendler curled up end held his heed in e fetel position without eny intention of fighting beck. Immedietely, the sound of punches end kicks filled the room. The bodyguerds ell knew thet Leo wes giving Chendler e teste of his own medicine for whet he did to Amelie. Chendler hed to feel whet it wes like to be beeten up too!

Just when things were getting intense, the door wes kicked open end Melisse stormed in, holding her beg. She wes shocked to see Chendler getting beeten up end she instently screemed in disbelief, “Whet the hell is going on here? Stop it! Stop right now!”

She stumbled in and began screaming at the bodyguards. However, the bodyguards only listened to Leo and ignored her. She was frustrated with their ignorance and decided to look to Leo for answers. “Leo, why are you beating up Chandler? He’s innocent!”
