Chapter 33 Amelie’s Boyfriend’s Reputation Will Be Ruined

Elyse asked urgently. Due to the urgency, she clenched the phone in her palms harder.

The other party seemed to sense her urgency, so they let out a sinister, unpleasant laugh. “Want to know? Come here if you do!” The sinister tone was mixed with unconcealed lust.

Of course, she could hear it. Her already scarlet face was painted with another layer of anger as she roared, “No way!”

“If you don’t want to know, then forget it, but…” The other party suddenly slowed down and stopped, not in a hurry to continue his sentence. He was clearly trying to torture her.

Elyse was infuriated, but the other party spoke again just as she was about to hang up. “Take care of your throat. You can’t afford to lose your voice!”

“What do you mean?” she prodded, but the guy on the other end hung up first.

Standing in the corridor, Elyse lowered her face and started guessing the possibilities.

Even after making multiple guesses, she couldn’t get a hint from his nonchalant voice. That person had always been one to speak nonsense anyway. However, it felt as if he was reminding her of something. Despite that, she didn’t contact him again. The lessons she’d learned over the past four years would allow her to finally show Leo her undying devotion without taking any chances. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

…

Amelie was going home tomorrow, so she couldn’t help but feel nervous. She didn’t even dare to call her father and tell him about it. After four years of marriage, she dared not contact her father for fear of infuriating the Alston Family. Sadly, her father raised an ungrateful brat for decades.

She deliberately went to the mall to buy some lovely gifts while Julia told Amelie to bring some supplements back. After tidying up, the two of them lay on the couch and watched TV. A variety show was being broadcasted, and after the host uttered a long list of words, he exaggeratedly raised his arms while exclaiming, “Now, let’s welcome tonight’s mystery guest.”

A mysterious background music sounded that was followed by the opening of a door behind the stage. The lights focused on one spot, and out came a person. She was wearing a long chiffon dress that fluttered at the bottom while her hair fell to her shoulders, revealing her beautiful facial features.

At the same time her face was revealed, Julia choked. “I can’t watch this trash participate in my favorite reality show!”

Amelie also saw the woman clearly and her eyes suddenly turned gloomy. It was none other than Elyse, who came to the stage.

Her pretentious outfit won a round of applause from the audience, while the host exclaimed, “What a queen!”

“Oh, please. Don’t make fun of me like that.” Elyse smiled prettily in response.

At this time, the cameraman zoomed in and gave her a close-up.

“I can’t believe they’re calling her a queen. Their standards must be awfully low.” Julia hated Elyse, so every word that came out of her mouth sounded extremely rude.

Afraid of affecting Amelie’s mood, she turned off the TV immediately.

“Don’t worry about me. I’ve been immune to her for a long time.” She read Julia’s mind and uttered softly.

“I just don’t like watching her. Anyway, I won’t watch any shows she’s on in the future!” Julia patted the chair’s armrest beside her, then glanced at Amelie. “In terms of looks, you are way more beautiful than her, more gentle in temperament, and more capable than her. You’ll beat her right away if you get on the show. What exactly does Leo see in Elyse? Was it necessary for him to have her?”

Honestly, Amelie also couldn’t understand that.

Back then, Leo had lost his sight, and his family had him sent to a small city where she lived. She met him then, and after he returned to have his eye treated, they were separated. The next time she met him, Elyse was already by his side.

Elyse wasn’t a star yet at that time. She wasn’t as pretty as she was now, but Leo treated her sincerely like she was the apple of his eye. Amelie recalled that one time, Elyse wanted to have baked potatoes. The baked potatoes that came out fresh from the oven were so hot, but as if he couldn’t feel the heat, Leo held it in his hand and pinched a tiny bit before shoving it into her mouth.

She felt sympathy for him as a bystander when she saw how red his palms were from the heat. Her memories of the past were unbearable to her. When she looked back on her life, all she saw was nothing but sorrow.

“Maybe there’s something unique about her.” They had divorced anyway, so Amelie didn’t bother to guess.

Julia chuckled dryly in response. “What could be unique about her? She acts with a poker face. If it wasn’t Leo who supported her at the beginning, not to mention the best actress, I’m afraid no one would even cast her in a supporting role.”

“If I have to say one thing good about her, then it’s her voice. But…” Julia landed her gaze on Amelie again. “Have you noticed that Elyse’s voice is similar to yours?”

“Does it?” Amelie cleared her throat and smiled lightly. “I never noticed.”

Julia knew she didn’t like Elyse, so she quickly changed the subject instead of continuing the conversation.

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door. They were both taken aback by the sound.

“Who would come at this hour?”

Jamie and Blake were the only ones who knew about this place, so only the two of them might come. Thinking of that, Amelie called out, “Leony, open the door.”

“Yes, master,” the housekeeping robot replied and opened the door with a click.

When the door opened, a slender figure appeared. The man tilted his figure slightly, only showing his straight back to the two while hiding his face in the dark.

Without thinking too much, Amelie uttered, “Thanks, Leony.”

“It’s my pleasure to serve you, master,” replied the housekeeping robot.

She initially wanted to change the voice of the housekeeping robot because the voice of Leo recorded by Julia was annoying. However, since it was troublesome for her to change it, Amelie forgot about it. Later, she got used to it after listening to the same voice many times. When the man at the door heard the voice, he sneered in an unfriendly way.

Amelie only realized that he hadn’t entered the house yet, so she called out, “Is it, Jamie or Blakey? Don’t just stand there. Come in already.”

Finally, the man turned around and showed himself. The first thing they saw was the pair of frosty eyes he had! His gaze was sharp and filled with obvious irony as he glared at them. His tight lips were also

raised into a mocking smirk!

Amelie was shocked to see him before blurting out, “Ashton?”

The fact that Ashton showed up surprised her.

Ashton had always despised Amelie, and now, he remarked wryly, “Is there a woman more shameless than you, Amelie? Don’t you feel disgusted with yourself after doing all the bad things and acting like a victim?”

The sentence was so harsh, and Amelie couldn’t help but pull a long face.

He continued, “You’re even using Leo’s voice as your housekeeping robot to follow you around. How shameless can you be?”

Ashton’s expression of contempt was painted perfectly to accompany the harshness of his words. His short hair stood on his head as if every strand of it was screaming his disdain for Amelie.

“Who the hell are you? What does Amy have to do with you?” Hearing the harsh words he just spat, Julia couldn’t help but roll her sleeves up, ready to get into a fight. She wasn’t going to treat someone like Ashton seriously at all!

“To tell you the truth, that b*stard has such a nasty character. I don’t think Amy is crossing the line even if she names a dog after him and orders it around!” Julia also had a sharp tongue, so every word she spat could easily irritate anyone.

“What about you? Why are you trying to cause trouble at someone else’s house in the middle of the night? What are you up to?” After saying that, Julia grabbed her phone and tried to call the police. “I’m calling the police to arrest you! I will make them charge you for trespassing and attempted rape!”

Ashton’s expression twitched. It was clear that no one had ever treated him in such a manner before, so he clenched his fists in anger. Soon, however, he let out another snort.

“Go on and call the police to arrest me, but if you do that, Amelie’s boyfriend’s reputation will be ruined!”

“What do you mean?” Julia was taken aback and immediately questioned him.
