Chapter 86
Chapter 86 Get Someone Else to Screw with Elyse
“What you should be concerned about isn’t my rtionship with the CEO of Starlight Media but when
your new sister-inw will be marrying into your family.”
“My new sister-inw?” Jodie was rendered baffled. “What the hell are you smoking? Leo hasn’t even
been on blind datestely. What new sister-inw are you talking about?!”
“Sounds like someone needs to update their news portal.” Amelie ridiculed. “Your brother and Elyse
have been appearing everywhere togethertely, and everyone around him already knows she’ll
be your new sister-inw soon.”
“Elyse yton?!” Jodie turned beyond grim at once. “What in the world is Leo thinking?!”
It was only yesterday Elyse cheated on Leo, and now he’s going to marry her?! Who knows how many
people will gossip if the marriage happens, and how many times people will bring up the scandal from
four years ago?! Need I no shame?!
“I swear I will beat you up if I find out you’re lying to me, Dillon!” She still had a sliver of rationality in
her.
“Word is that Elyse donated her cornea to Leo many years ago, and now one of her eyes has zero
vision. If your brother refuses to marry her now, the world will most certainly fault him.”
“She donated a cornea many years ago? Zero vision in one of her eyes? You’ve got to be joking!” Jodie
thought Amelie was just bullsh*tting.
On the other hand, Amelie said nothing but hailed a cab and left.
Outside, Jodie stomped her feet in anger while Amelie only gazed impassively at the retreating scene.
The person she wanted to screw with Elyse was none other than Jodie, and the young woman
probably wouldn’t disappoint her.
…
As soon as Elysended in Cand, she went to Ashton. “Did you learn anything?”
Ashton, who had initially been slouching in the chair, sat up upon seeing her. Even theziness on his
face disappeared.
“Too little useful information had been left behind. There’s not much I could find out.” Ashton scratched
his head in shame.
s, he couldn’t aplish the task Elyse, for once, assigned him.
“I even went to Dillon’s hometown, Quinn Town, for this. However, no one has ever seen the CEO of
Starlight Media, and the CEO has never been there either.”
In other words, he found nothing.
No words were enough to describe Elyse’s exasperation toward Ashton.
“I might not have found anything, but I did learn of your history with Leo. Who’d have thought you two
have known each other for a long time?!” Ashton added with embarrassment. “Back then, I always
wondered why he was so nice to you. I assumed it was love at first sight, but you two fell in love over
time!”
“Fell in love… over time?” Elyse was just about to leave when Ashton’s words stumped her, leaving her
utterly bewildered.
She had onlye into the picture after Leo knew Ashton. Was it not love at first sight?
Ashton, on the other hand, was deep in his own world, so he didn’t even notice Elyse’s expression.
“So, you and Leo already knew each other back when his eyes were still injured.” He sighed. “He’s
pretty aloof. Most people can’t get close to him, especially women. Clearly, he fell head over heels for
you because you stuck by his side back then.”
Ashton’s words were getting further away from the truth.
He was talking about her, but it wasn’t her story!
“I deliberately took a trip to the hospital and heard everything from the doctor. Back then, Leo refused
to cooperate with the treatment. It’s all thanks to you that he finally did. His family abandoned him
because he became blind, but you kept himpany every day. Later, it was all because of your
encouragement that he decided to heal his eyes.” Ashton grew increasingly dejected as she spoke.
Why couldn’t I be the blind one?! If it happened to me, I’d have met Elyse, too, wouldn’t I? That way,
she would never have be Leo’s, right?
All Elyse could hear was the buzzing in her head when Ashton spoke.
The man might be oblivious to the truth, but she had already figured out what was up.
Turns out Leo had already fallen in love with another girl before we knew each other, right? Did that girl
have some sort of connection with him? Ashton mistakenly thought I was that girl, didn’t he?!
“No wonder Leo said you two had already known each other for a long time, even though you two had
only seen each other for the first time when I asked him why he’d like you and wanted to court you at
first nce.” Ill-conceived misery enveloped Ashton’s voice as he spoke.
“Back then, I thought he was being inexplicable and confusing. It’s only now I know what’s up.
Speaking of which, Leo sure is something. To think he could make out it was you just by hearing your
voice.”
Elyse was rendered at a loss for words. So, not only had Leo mistaken me for that girl but even
Ashton… No wonder!
Elyse was struck with an epiphany after hearing Ashton’s words, and the question that had been
baffling her forever was finally answered.
No wonder Leo keeps everyone at a distance but me.
No wonder he would still spoil me no matter how much of a brat I behaved in the past when he doesn’t
have a lot of patience. No matter how upset he got, he never once yelled at me.
No wonder he still answered my every demand even though I humiliated him with my infidelity.
It wasn’t for any other reason but that he got the wrong person! He had mistaken me as the savior who
stuck by him!
Elyse’s face instantly nched when the fact struck her.
It turned out that she wasn’t the person Leo loved, and his love for her was nothing but a mistake!
How ironic!
Because of Leo’s pampering, Elyse had long be arrogant and opinionated, and for someone like
her to suddenly realize all her allowance to act like a brat was all but a mistake was undoubtedly a p
in her face.
It was painful, humiliating, and beyond defeating.
Suddenly, she felt like a thief who had covertly stolen everything that was supposedly someone else’s.
Unable to ept the fact, Elyse grabbed her head. “H-How can this be?!”
How could she ept someone’s gratitude for nothing?!
She was God’s favored child! She could win Leo’s heart over with her abilities!
Damn it! Why must there be so many misunderstandings?!
She decided to tell Leo the truth at once.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
No way am I going to be a double! I will not ept this inexplicable charity!
However, just as Elyse took a step, Ashton’s voice sounded again. “Strange, though. The doctor said
your family’s in the shoe-making business, but I swear your uncle has never been in that business
before. He must’ve mistaken it for someone else.”
A careless word might be important information to an attentive listener.
Elyse instantly froze upon hearing the man’s words, and her face turned ghastly pale.
Her uncle’s family had indeed never been in the shoe-making business, but she remembered her
grandmother once said Amelie’s father was a shoemaker.
Could it be…
Elyse grabbed her head, not daring to think further.
“Elyse, are you okay?” Ashton finally noticed Elyse was behaving weirdly, and he hurriedly supported
her.
He felt extreme coldness as soon as he touched Elyse’s hand, and it was only then he realized her
face was ghastly pale.
Terrified, he held her even tighter. “Are you sick, Elyse? I’ll take you to the hospital right away.”
However, just as he was about to carry her in his arms, the young woman grabbed his cor and
brought his face inches away from hers, stumping him. “Elyse, you…”
“Listen!” Elyse growled through gnashed teeth.
