When I Was A Wallflower Chapter 214


    Chapter 214


    Leo was unfazed, his expression as stern as usual. It felt like he didn’t even care Toby was holding


    him. Feeling defeated, Toby let him go. He was about to back off, but Leo gripped his shoulder and


    pushed him down. “What do you know?”Toby froze. Even when he’s angry, he’s still smart. He knows


    something. But Toby wasn’t going to tell him what he knew. All he did was smile. “Just joshing.” He


    pulled Leo’s fingers away and left.Leo frowned. He knew Toby. He was not one quick to anger, and yet


    he had flown into a rage twice in a span of a single day. He’s bothered. That was why Leo came. He


    needed to know what Toby was bothered about. Shadows were cast upon Leo, and he narrowed his


    eyes. A momentter, he stared at the ground and called Victor. “Look into Toby.”Twenty minutester,


    Victor showed up, hidden in the shadows and standing before Leo.When Leo raised his head, Victor


    said, “He’s been sending his men to look into Ms. Dillon.”Victor knew what Leo wanted to know before


    he even said it, and that was why Leo liked him. There was a reason he was willing to pay for Victor’s


    sky-high price. He’s looking into Amelie? Leo paused for a moment, his brows furrowed into a frown


    once more. He didn’t like anyone looking into Amelie, especially not Toby. Yet he remained stern,


    refusing to fly into a rage. “What precisely did he want to know?”“I am not sure.”Leo’s eyes


    narrowed.Victor fell into silence, his breathing almost quiet. And for a moment, it felt as if he was not


    there.A long whileter, Leo said, “Look into Amelie’s case.”Victor drifted away like a phantom, saying


    nothing.…Melissa was chatting with Carol.Carol pouted. “Leo doesn’t like me, does he? He doesn’t talk


    to me that much, and he almost refused my salves. I had to tell him that you sent me before he


    begrudgingly took me with him.”Melissa loved Carol. She was a good woman, and she came from a


    good family. Now that she had concerns, Melissa needed to douse them right away. “Leo’s an aloof


    man, but I assure you he’s quite passionate inside. He’s just not good atmunicating, that’s


    all.”“Didn’t seem like that with the other girl. He wouldn’t take me anywhere, but he would wait for her.


    And the moment she got into trouble, he went and helped her.”“Is that so?” Melissa cocked her


    eyebrow. “That’s odd.” Weird. He was only nice to Elyse. Wouldn’t care about anyone else.“Lots of


    people saw that. That girl’s really close to ke. Even came to his defense.” Carol told Melissa


    everything she saw. “And Leo said that girl is his girlfriend. They even had a child together. Melissa, are


    you hiding something from me? Is he taken?”“No, of course not,” Melissa denied. Sh*t. A friend of


    ke and the mother of Leo’s child? That’s Amelie. What’s going on? Why did they get together again?


    Melissa was furious, yet she didn’t show it. She kept putting in a good word for Leo and promised she


    would make Leo apologize to her.Eventually, Carol felt better, and she left happily.Once she was gone,


    Melissa’s face fell, her smile reced by fury. “What are you doing, Leo? Why did you poke your nose


    in Amelie’s case? Damn it, I bet Amelie seduced him again. That wench!” …It was an arduous day at


    the training ss. Eventually, Amelie came out feeling woozy, and she massaged her temples. Gods, I


    want to go home, but Julia wants to talk to me. Julia came to Halport that day, and she wanted to see


    Brianna. Amelie stood outside the coffee shop in her neighborhood, waiting for her ride. As she waited,


    she scrolled through the novel website, going through her stats.She then heard the clops of heels. Oh,


    Julia’s here. Amelie tucked away her phone and was about to say hi, but that woman stormed up to her


    and mmed something into her chest. Then she said shrilly, “If you need money, youe to me.


    Leave Leo alone!”Amelie looked at the woman before her. Melissa. Melissa’s short, curly hair tumbled


    down to her shoulder. She was in branded-name clothes, and her bag was as expensive as ever.


    Hanging from her neck was a designer ne. She looked like a regal woman, and yet her attitude


    spoke of nothing but a spiteful wench.Amelie noticed the disgust hanging in her eyes. She was looking


    at Amelie with hatred like Amelie was a mouse. The thing she mmed into Amelie’s chest were two


    pieces of paper. Checks. They were fluttering down to the ground, escaping Amelie’s grasp. Amelie


    wasn’t angry at Melissa. She was used to Melissa’s hypocritical act. Slowly, she picked the checks up.


    “Now, Mrs. Alston, calm down. You don’t want anyone seeing you in this state.”“Why you little…”


    Melissa’s lips were trembling, but she didn’t push matters any further. Like magic, she quickly calmed


    down and looked around.Amelie smirked. What a hypocrite. Doesn’t she get tired of putting on this act?


    When she noticed the coast was clear, Melissa hissed, “Six hundred grand. That enough for you?” A


    frown furrowed her almost-perfect brows.Amelie was counting the zeroes on the checks. Three


    hundred thousand each. “Generous.” She throws money at everyone she meets. Of course, she’s


    generous. “Thank you then, Mrs. Alston.”She took the checks. Hah. “I always help the poor. But thisN?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    proves you can’t take care of Bria well, so give her back to us. Take the money and leave. Do note


    back.”Oh my gosh. Look at her. So arrogant. Amelieughed. Six hundred grand is nothing to me. Not


    even enough to hire a live streamer.“You should know that Leo is going to marry Carol of the Joyner


    Family. He won’t go back to you just because you’re hounding him.”Oh, so that girl is the daughter of


    Seafare’s local boss, huh? Amelie was surprised. For some reason, she got upset, even though she


    knew Leo’s rtionship was none of her business. I’m just sad for Bria. She has acknowledged him as


    her father, but if he marries someone else, their rtionship will change.She’s staying quiet. She must


    know I have a point. Melissa shot her a look of disdain and stuffed an agreement into her hands. “This


    is the agreement for relinquishing Bria’s custody. Sign it, take the money, and leave.”Gods, look at her.


    Money is all she knows. And she keeps pointing at the checks with her eyes. Does she think I’m that


    poor? Amelie took the papers and nced at them. But she didn’t sign them. Instead, she whipped two


    more checks out of her bag.
