Chapter 312


    Chapter 312 I Will Not Give Up on Her


    Out of nowhere, Toby entered the bar in a clean and angelic off-white suit. “Why are you drinking


    alone?” He looked at Leo in amusement. “You don’t usually act like this.”


    When Leo heard his words, he put down the ss and tilted his head to look at Toby. “How should I act


    then?”


    Toby was quite surprised by his response. Leo is always a quiet and reserved person. It’s hard trying to


    get him to talk. Yet, he responded to me on my first attempt.


    As he thought about it, he pursed his lips and walked over to Leo, sitting in front of him. Then, he took


    the ss and poured himself some liquor. “You are the calm andposed one among us. No matter


    what happens, you wouldn’t show any emotions on your face, which is something my father had always


    admired about you. He said you are a rare gem, and I must learn from you. However, I can’t do it, so he


    is disappointed. Honestly, I feel pressure to have a genius as my friend.”

    Toby was agreeable and mellow, so he always acted like nothing had happened, no matter how terrible


    he felt.


    After hearing his description, Leo didn’t say anything, but he stopped drinking. He stared at the liquid


    Toby was swirling in his ss, looking at the lights reflecting from the clear mirror.


    “What was Elie’s condition when you first saw her in the snow?” Leo asked.


    At that moment, Toby stopped his action and nced at Leo. “Why are you asking about it?” Then, he


    took a sip of the alcohol. “The snow buried her in the middle of the road. If her clothes weren’t vibrant, I


    would have run her over. Her hair and clothes were coated with a thin coat of ice, and her whole body


    was freezing. Her breathing was shallow, seemingly as if she was dead.” As he spoke, the smile on his


    face faded. Slowly, he had aplicated expression on his face.


    At that moment, memories about that day shed across his mind.


    “Her face was as pale as snow, and she hugged her stomach tightly. I guess she must be trying to


    warm up her child. She is such a silly girl. I wonder if she knows she couldn’t save her child if she is


    dead too.” Toby’s tone was calm. It was as if he was talking about the weather.


    However, the calmer he spoke, the tenser Leo was. Listening to his words, Leo could feel guilt creeping


    into his whole body. He felt suffocated.


    In that split second, Leo wondered if Toby was right when thetter said he didn’t deserve Amelie.


    After Toby had recalled the event, he snapped out of his trance and returned to his usual self. “Don’t tell


    me that you are asking this just for me to tell you a bedtime story,” he said.


    Leo clutched the side of the table tightly.


    Suddenly, Toby put down the ss and looked at him seriously. “How well do you know Amelie?”


    Leo looked at him in silence.


    Looking at him, Toby smiled and suggested, “If you don’t know her well, why don’t you get to know her?


    Then, you can decide whether you want to get her back. However, I believe you will give up after


    knowing everything about her past.” As he spoke, he put his hand on Leo’s shoulder.


    “I will never give up!” Leo announced firmly as he sat there unmoving.


    Toby smiled and didn’t reply. However, it was obvious that he disagreed with Leo’s words. He smiled


    widely, seemingly as if he was sure about his own words.


    At this moment, Leo only wanted to get Amelie back. He never expected to be filled with sorrow when


    he knew what Amelie had actually gone through.


    …


    A few days had passed when Amelie got Mr. Hampton’s call. “I’m sure your stay is great, right, Miss


    Foxy?”


    Hearing his voice, Amelie huffed. “You surprised me, Mr. Hampton. Aside from opening a hotel, I never


    knew that you also work as a pimp. Should I report this to the police? Do you want me to promote this


    to my fans?”


    “No! Definitely not!” Mr. Hampton was frightened by her words. “Good Lord, Miss Foxy. I promise that it


    was a mistake made by the staff. I scolded them about this. Please don’t call the police or tell your fans


    about this. This is all fake!”


    “Are you sure?” asked Amelie in a monotonous voice.


    Hearing her tone, Mr. Hampton was unsure if she was angry or not. He soon surrendered and told her


    the truth. “I admit that what happened yesterday was nned. However, I was just trying to help you


    guys. I truly wish that you and Leo could be together.”


    “Spit it all out!” Amelie demanded.


    Mr. Hampton wasted no time and blurted out. “Mr. Alston’s mother had asked me to do this. She told


    me that you guys were dating, and this was thest step. You know it too, Miss Foxy. How can I dare to


    say no to her when their family is powerful? Moreover, I thought you guys were shy and wanted to help


    you two. Did you reject him, Miss Foxy?”


    Mr. Hampton knew Leo was fond of Amelie, but he was unsure about Amelie’s feelings toward Leo.


    Although he saw in the video that Amelie had rejected Leo, he thought she was ying hard to get.


    After all, women wereplicated. There was no way Mr. Hampton would know that Amelie was not


    faking it.


    “Oh, Mrs. Alston, huh?” Amelie smirked sarcastically. “No wonder you put so much effort into this. Tell


    me. What benefits did she give you?”


    “About that…” Mr. Hampton trailed off and didn’t dare to tell her the truth. He didn’t dare to let her know


    that it was Melissa who owned the hotel. He did it without hesitation when she gave him ten percent of


    the shares and asked him for a favor.


    As Mr. Hampton thought about it, cold sweats trickled down his face. At that moment, he regretted that


    he had done such a thing.


    “Please don’t make things hard for me, Miss Foxy. You are now the sponsor of my show. If anything


    happened to me, the money you had spent would be wasted too. Instead, why don’t you keep me as


    your servant? I can earn money for you.” Mr. Hampton was used to being a lowlife and said it without


    thinking twice.


    Although he was ttering her, he was also scared of her. After all, he still remembered that Amelie had


    ruined Elyse’s reputation.


    Amelie was upset that Mr. Hampton had lied to her, but she also knew what a person Melissa was.


    Melissa had been using Leo’s name to terrorize everyone, and no one dared to fight back because they


    feared Leo.


    Thinking about it, she told Mr. Hampton, “I’ll let you off now. If this happens again, I will make you pay!”


    “No. There won’t be a next time.” Mr. Hampton wiped his sweat away and thought, It’s hard being a


    director. I must maintain both sides of the rtionship and can’t afford to offend anyone.


    After Amelie hung up the phone, she propped her chin and started to think about a n.


    I wonder if Melissa will regret that she hooked me up with Leo after knowing my real identity. However,


    that is not my problem to worry about. I am fed up with her causing trouble in my life. I wonder if there


    is any way I can make her stop.
