When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 137

Chapter 137

As soon as the duo turned around, they saw Steven taking big strides toward them with a big ladle in his hand. At the same time, he was followed by Toby, who was staggering with his steps along the way. Steven was seen with his eyes wide open at that moment, glaring at Melissa like an angry beast as if he wanted to eat her.

It turned out that he had overheard the duo’s conversation when he was on his way to return the ladle to where it was. Having a strong grudge toward the Alston Family, Steven was even more pissed off upon hearing Melissa’s words. The next second, he angrily walked up to the old lady and questioned her, “What did you just say? Did you just threaten to lay my daughter off? How dare you!” The man raised the ladle as he finished his

words.

Taken aback by the man’s violent reaction, Melissa was prompted by her instincts to step back in intimidation as her face turned pale. “Y-You! You’re unreasonable!” The woman’s anger quickly took over her feeling of humiliation just when she pointed at Steven madly with a trembling finger.

Steven had always preferred to avoid rather than engage in conflict even though it rarely ended in his favor, but this time, he was so angry that he could’

barely control his emotions.

Meanwhile, it was Amelie’s second time seeing her father so worked up as she recalled the last time that he got

mad on her behalf.

In the meantime, Steven didn’t strike Melissa with the ladle but instead brandished it in front of the woman to

threaten her. “My daughter gave everything she had to your family, but none of you treated her the way she
