Chapter 63


    “Oh, ew. I don’t particrly like watching animals make out.” Julia leaned on the wall, her arms


    crossed. She was looking at the couple in disgust. Julia had that kind of look that could strike anxiety


    into those who met her eyes. It felt like she could see through the deepest, darkest secrets of anyone


    she looked at.


    Elyse stiffly removed herself from Leo’s embrace. She elegantly pushed her hair back and shot Julia a


    look of disapproval. “Miss White, that was inappropriate, especially for someone of your stature.”

    Oh, here we go again. This b*tch never leams her lesson. Julia sneered. “The adage goes ‘honesty is


    the best policy’, not ‘honesty is inappropriate.”


    “You called us animals. We’re not animals, Miss White,” Elyse argued.


    “But all I see are animals.” Julia looked around and sneered. “It takes a lot more than mere clothes to


    make a human. Oh wait, I shouldn’t have called you animals. That’s an insult to them. At least they’re


    loyal to their humans. Some men won’t stay loyal to their own woman. They’d rather date a skank


    instead.”


    Nobody but Julia would say something insulting, yet she managed to make it sound pleasant rather


    than vulgar.


    Leo had kept quiet this whole time, but now he finally spoke. “What are you trying to say?” He raised


    his head, but his gaze was not on Julia. He was looking at someone behind Julia.


    It was none other than the returning Amelie. I leave Julia for two seconds and she’s gone. Darn. She’s


    already unhappy about my divorce. Now she knows Leo is here, I bet she’s going to trash-talk him. She


    quickly went to look for her friend, and just like she expected, Julia was insulting Leo.


    Amelie heard her insulting Leo and Elyse, and it made her feel helpless. She was about to drag her


    friend away when Leo opened his mouth, so she locked eyes with him.


    His eyes were devoid of any emotion. Icily, he asked, “You wanted the divorce. You gave up all


    reimbursement. I offered rpense, but you refused, and proudly. Why did youin to your


    friend, then? I thought you were happy with the divorce.”


    Before Amelie could say anything. Julia retorted, “Oh please, like she needs your money. Your whole


    family is a sack of dicks. ve drivers who should’ve gone extinct centuries ago, and yet you survived.


    You worked my friend to the bone and never even thanked her, and you expect her to stay in the


    hellhole you call home? Please, no amount of rpense can heal the scars you left on her. No.


    Amount. So, save your money. You need it to fill your broken, empty soul.”


    Even Leo felt affronted by thatment, and he had heard a lot of insults in his life. He was incensed.


    Not only did Julia fire off at him, but she also dragged his whole family through the mud.


    Nobody had insulted his family ever since he took over. His face was ck as thunder, and a storm


    brewed in


    his eyes


    “If you remain friends with someone who has no sense of decorum or courtesy, you will have no


    future.” Instead of arguing with Julia, Leo opted to speak to Amelie instead. No, he was giving her a


    cold reminder, more like. I am a businessman. A powerful man. I do not have to stoop to her level. He


    then held Elyse’s hand. “Let’s go.”


    “Hold it right there, Leo, Amelie stopped him.


    Initially, she just wanted to take her friend away. Arguing with Leo was not in her n, but now, she


    wasn’t about to let that insultingment go. She blocked the path of the leaving couple.


    Elyse instinctively stood on her tiptoes and straightened her back, trying to look taller than Amelie, but


    Amelie didn’t even spare her a look. Her eyes were on Leo “My friend shoots straight, but you have no


    right to criticize her. At least she cares about her friend. At least she’d help a friend. But you?” A smirk


    of contempt curled Amelies lips. “You dumped your pregnant wife all alone in the freezing cold, leaving


    her for dead.


    You’re no more courteous than scum.”


    Leo felt something squeezing his heart, and he came to a halt. He tried to argue, but not a single word


    came out of his mouth, and he looked awkward.


    But then Elyse spoke quietly. “Why bring up the past? Do you still wish to get back with Leo, Miss


    Dillon?”


    That changed things around. Elyse managed to make Amelie sound like a jealous woman trying to get


    back with her ex-husband instead of a woman standing up for her friend. With an excuse in ce, Leo


    assumed the position of indifference at once. “If that is what you had in mind, then I suggest you give


    up.” He then turned around. “Why didn’t you stop her?”


    His bodyguards stayed silent.


    Amelieughed mirthlessly. “You have an active imagination, good sir. Maybe you should be a writer.”


    “Agreed. You don’t own this ce. We cane and go as we please. No reports needed,” Julia


    snapped.


    Thedies shared a smile.


    “Let’s go.” They held hands and turned to the exit.


    As Elyse saw them off, a frown started creasing her forehead. This should’ve been my best moment in


    life, but they came and ruined it. She wanted revenge. After all, she had never been a generous


    woman. All her kindness and generosity were just a front. Now that her best moment was ruined, she


    would make Amelie suffer as well. Gently, she said, “Miss Dillon, I shall be dating Leo from now on.


    You’re alright with that, aren’t you?”


    Thedies stopped in their tracks. Julia was about toe up with a retort, but Amelie held her back.


    Confused, Julia mouthed, ‘Why aren’t you doing anything? I can mess with her easily’.


    Amelie gave her a look that said, Calm down. She turned around slowly and set her sights on Elyse.


    “Congrattions. Send a marriage invitation my way. We might have had our difficulties making


    progress in the more… important areas, but I’d still like to congratte you.”


    The couple’s faces fell.


    First, Elyse thought, She’s not fazed at all? And then she thought, Wait a minute. She just


    professionally called me a b*tch. “Why you little…” She pointed angrily at Amelie, her face contorted


    with rage.


    But thedies were long gone. Elyse turned to Leo andined, “That was a bit too much, don’t


    you


    think?”


    But Leo wasn’t listening. He stood petrified; it was as if he just saw Medusa’s eyes. When Amelie


    spoke to them, there was not a hint of emotion in her eyes. She looked at him like he was a stranger,


    and it hurt him.


    Elyse had to call out to him a few more times before he snapped out of it. He looked at her coolly,


    ignoring what she had to say. His mind was still on Amelie, and everything Elyse said was filtered out.


    “Let’s go.”


    Elyse bit her lip, disgruntled. This was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, but now it’s ruined.


    She wanted to throw a tantrum, but Elyse had promised she’d be a good girl around Leo. In the end,


    she suppressed her frustration and nodded. “Fine.”


    When Elyse and Leo reached the hospital’s entrance, they ran into the twodies once more. This


    time, someone was standing in front of thedies.


    When Elyse saw who it was, she gasped. “Hey, that’s Chris, isn’t it? Why are they with him?”
