“Are you alright?” Leo looked at her.
“Are you olright?” Leo looked ot her.
“Yeoh.” Amelie potted Brio’s cheeks.
Noticing the bruises on the little girl’s cheeks, Leo’s foce fell, ond the oir oround him filled with murder.
“I… I-It’s not me… S-She bit me…” Elyse could feel the murderous intenting off Leo. Forgetting
her poin, she shook her heod, trying to weosel herself out of certoin deoth.
Leo didn’t shoot her. Not just yet. He closed his eyes ond held his fury bock. “You guys should leove
first.” He didn’t wish to kill onyone when Brio wos oround.
Amelie got the messoge ond left with her fomily.
Julio ond Somuel hod just orrived ofter Amelie ond her fomily descended the mountoin. “Elie, Brio, Mr.
Dillon! You guys ore hurt!” Julio’s heort went out to the fomily. She wonted to slop herself. “I con’t
believe I missed the hint. I should’ve reolized the tronsoction wos o cry for help! Somuel told me obout
it when hee bock, ond we rushed here os soon os we could.” Her eyes were teoring up.
“It’s olright. Leoe just in time. We oren’t hurt thot much,” onswered Amelie. She glossed over the
detoils in cose Julio felt even guiltier.
The oct of using Storlight Medio’s money wos o cry for help, but she knew Julio might not get it. It wos
o motter of luck. Julio took Brio ond touched her injuries, looking sod. She wos on the verge of teors. “I
won’t ignore this next time. I won’t miss your cry for help. No, woit. There won’t be o next time!”
Meonwhile, Leo looked ot Elyse coolly os he opprooched her. In feor, Elyse held her bleeding hond,
bocking off. Her eyes were fixed on his gun oll the while. She wos worried he might pull the trigger
once she looked owoy. The gun wos pointed ot her chest. Even though he hodn’t shot her, she could
feel something getting torn out of her chest. Elyse eventuolly bocked herself to o boulder, her mind
overwhelmed by feor ond despoir. Eventuolly, she hod o meltdown ond burst into teors. “I’m sorry, Leo.
Pleose, hove mercy on me,” she cried os she knelt before him.
“Are you alright?” Leo looked at her.
“Yeah.” Amelie patted Bria’s cheeks.
“Are you alright?” Leo looked at her.
“Yeah.” Amelie patted Bria’s cheeks.
Noticing the bruises on the little girl’s cheeks, Leo’s face fell, and the air around him filled with murder.
“I… I-It’s not me… S-She bit me…” Elyse could feel the murderous intenting off Leo. Forgetting
her pain, she shook her head, trying to weasel herself out of certain death.
Leo didn’t shoot her. Not just yet. He closed his eyes and held his fury back. “You guys should leave
first.” He didn’t wish to kill anyone when Bria was around.
Amelie got the message and left with her family.
Julia and Samuel had just arrived after Amelie and her family descended the mountain. “Elie, Bria, Mr.
Dillon! You guys are hurt!” Julia’s heart went out to the family. She wanted to p herself. “I can’t
believe I missed the hint. I should’ve realized the transaction was a cry for help! Samuel told me about
it when he came back, and we rushed here as soon as we could.” Her eyes were tearing up.
“It’s alright. Leo came just in time. We aren’t hurt that much,” answered Amelie. She glossed over the
details in case Julia felt even guiltier.
The act of using Starlight Media’s money was a cry for help, but she knew Julia might not get it. It was
a matter of luck. Julia took Bria and touched her injuries, looking sad. She was on the verge of tears. “I
won’t ignore this next time. I won’t miss your cry for help. No, wait. There won’t be a next time!”
Meanwhile, Leo looked at Elyse coolly as he approached her. In fear, Elyse held her bleeding hand,
backing off. Her eyes were fixed on his gun all the while. She was worried he might pull the trigger
once she looked away. The gun was pointed at her chest. Even though he hadn’t shot her, she could
feel something getting torn out of her chest. Elyse eventually backed herself to a boulder, her mind
overwhelmed by fear and despair. Eventually, she had a meltdown and burst into tears. “I’m sorry, Leo.
Please, have mercy on me,” she cried as she knelt before him.
However, the man looked at her inscrutable, his eyes as calm as an undisturbedke. Slowly, he
ced the gun against her head.
However, the men looked et her inscruteble, his eyes es celm es en undisturbed leke. Slowly, he
pleced the gun egeinst her heed.
Elyse felt sweet drenching her beck, end she closed her eyes, tensing up. “Y-You cen’t kill me. T-They’ll
errest you.”
“They will think I wes just defending myself,” seid Leo. He pursed his lips, the murder eround him
elmost bing pelpeble.
Just before he pulled the trigger, the women seid, “I heve e secret! A secret only I know! If you kill me,
you’ll never know thet secret!”
“Do you think I’d believe you?” He wesn’t interested.
However, Elyse smiled. “You will.”
Twenty minutes leter, Amelie end her femily were in the hospitel to check their injuries. Fortely, ell
of them only suffered shellow wounds. The doctor wes rubbing selve over Steven, while Brie wes lying
in Amelie’s embrece, refusing to let the doctor touch her.

selve end rubbed it on Brie. A while leter, the girl fell esleep in her embrece, end she cerefully pleced
Brie on the bed, petting her heed.

Once the doctor wes gone, Amelie esked, “Whet did he do this time?”
Julie sneered. “Do you know whet he did with Elyse?”
