When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Elyse heard a movement behind her. Turning around, she saw that Leo had woken up and swung himself out of the car by holding onto the door hinge. His eyes looked alert, unlike someone who had just woken up from a nap.

She looked at the phone in her hand, picturing his eyes on her when she secretly took out her phone just now. That sent a shiver down her spine.

Meanwhile, Michael was fuming because he almost got into a car crash, and he marched up to kick the wheel of the car blocking the way. However, Leo’s sudden appearance by the car door forced Michael to frantically scurry back to his car to leave.

At the entrance to the alley, a few bodyguards dressed in black closed in under Eugene Cornelius’ lead.

Elyse saw the scene unfold in Leo’s car. It finally dawned on her that Leo had been waiting to ambush them—he wanted to expose her and Michael!

We’re done for.

Michael, with his egglike head and tiny eyes, crossed his arms on his chest and bent down a little in a defensive position. Given his stocky build, he probably could not take down even one bodyguard.

After weighing it up, he put down his hands, turned around, and chuckled. “Mr. Alston, what is this? Why did you send these men to stand guard at my house? I thought they were robbers!”

Then, he scratched his head. A pathological liar like him could lie with a straight face.

Leo stood there in silence. Half of his figure was shrouded in the night, giving him a cold and distant appearance.

By now, Elyse’s face was as pale as a ghost. Her hands and legs went limp, and she lost all strength to get out of the car.

Eugene took a few huge steps forward. “Michael Clayton, how bold of you and your daughter! How could you cheat Mr. Alston over and over? Do you think he’d always turn a blind eye to what you did?”

He waved, and the bodyguards in black produced two huge black sacks, which they unrolled in front of Michael. The sacks were perfect for two.

Eugene walked over and flicked the sack. “Mr. Alston didn’t make a move on you not because he believed in your words. He just wanted you to find the person he needed. But you let him down.”
