Chapter 325


    Before Amelie could react, Leo removed her mask and pressed his lips onto hers, kissing her with all


    his might.


    She tried to struggle, but it was as though he had gone mad. He held her body tightly, pressing her


    head down and not giving her any chance to escape. All she could do was whimper in protest, as she


    was unable to form coherent words.


    At this moment, he aggressively stirred inside her, blurring her world.


    Suddenly, footsteps approached. Someone ising!


    Leo seemed to have lost his hearing as all he wanted to do was kiss her. His kiss turned fierce, as


    though he was a wild beast, wanting to devour every inch of her.


    Just then, the footsteps grew closer and closer. Judging from the sound, one could conclude that quite


    a few of them were present.


    It wasn’t anyone else but Alfred and the others from the Walsh Family.


    “There are many young people here tonight and young girls like desserts. Ask the kitchen to prepare


    more, with a variety of options,” Alfred said as he walked.


    “Okay, Dad,” his three daughters-inw answered in unison, afraid of being slow in their responses.


    Meanwhile, his three sons also followed closely, serving and attending to him. Behind them was the


    younger generation of the Walsh Family.


    As the group marched forward, Amelie and Leo would soon be seen just around a corner.


    Since the banquet was about to start, Alfred was in a hurry to get to the hall, so his steps were faster


    than usual.


    At this moment, Amelie waspletely stunned. All she felt was her head ringing, and she could


    already imagine the kind of reaction the Walshes would have when they saw this scene. However, she


    had no way to defend herself as Leo was acting like a total lunatic.


    “Grandpa, the butler said he saw a snake around here this morning. It might not be safe to take this


    route. Let’s use another way.” Toby suddenly interjected as Alfred was about to step into the corner.

    “A snake?” Alfred wasn’t too concerned, but the people around him became anxious. “It’s your birthday


    today. It will be such a jinx if we encounter a snake.”


    “That’s right. If any of us gets bitten by a snake, it will ruin your birthday, and it will be a sin for us as


    children.”


    “We’d rather take the long way than risk it.”


    Alfred didn’t want a snake to ruin everyone’s mood, so he nodded. “Alright. Let’s take the long way


    then.”


    After he said that, footsteps sounded once again.


    Only when the group walked away did Amelie’s heart, which had been pounding so quickly in her


    chest, slowly calm down. After a long time, Leo finally let go of her.


    Under the moonlight showed his handsome face, as if the lunatic just now was not him.


    He held her face and put her mask back on. With his fingertips, he touched her face gently and softly.


    Without thinking, Amelie raised her hand and pped him hard. p! She used all her strength in this


    p, making the crisp sound echo through the night.


    Leo’s face was slightly tilted by the p. Even though the streetlights were dim, the finger mark on his


    fair face was still visible, disying a disheveled beauty.


    “You can p me again if you still need to vent.” He held her hand, gesturing for her to p his face


    again. He was crazy just now, but he didn’t regret it.


    Speechless, she shook off his hand and turned to leave.


    Yet, he followed her. “They said there’s a snake here. I’ll walk with you.” Big Eyes is most afraid of


    snakes.


    “No need.” A warm male voice came through before Amelie could speak.


    Following that, Toby’s face appeared in the corner. Even in the dim light, he still had his usual gentle


    look on, making people feel at ease.


    The moment Amelie saw him, she was surprised that he hadn’t left earlier. Then, an embarrassed look


    overtook her face. If he didn’t leave just now, he probably saw everything. Even though her face was


    hidden behind the mask, she couldn’t help but feel ashamed.


    However, Toby seemed oblivious to the situation and just smiled at her, his gaze falling on Leo. “I’ll take


    care of Foxy’s safety.” His gaze was calm, no different from usual.


    Following his appearance, Leo’s previously clear eyes darkened at once.


    Amelie didn’t want to stay there any longer and just wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she turned


    around and walked away.


    Bam! A muffled sound suddenly came from beside her, followed by a groan of pain. Then, someone fell


    to the ground. It was Toby!


    It turned out that Leo had walked up to him at some point and mercilessly punched him in the face.


    Toby’s face instantly swelled up, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.


    Meanwhile, Leo looked like a crazed beast, ring at Toby with his fists clenched tightly. It was as


    though he was killing Toby over and over again with his deadly gaze.


    However, Toby was not afraid of his gaze. When he propped himself up, he even smiled at Leo and


    didn’t rush to stand up.


    “Leo! What’s wrong with you?” Amelie shouted, running over to help Toby up. “Are you okay?” She kept


    checking his face.


    “I’m fine,” Toby replied with a smile. His eyes were still fixed on Leo, and his lips curled in a provocative


    smile.


    “Leo, Elie came here tonight as my girlfriend. You won’t embarrass her again, will you?” He said


    ‘again’. It was obvious that he saw everything that had just happened. This was also the reason why he


    asked Alfred and the others to change their route.


    Without responding, Leo shifted his gaze to Amelie.


    Under his gaze, she took out a tissue from her bag and carefully wiped the wound on Toby’s face. Her


    eyes were focused and serious, but it felt like a sharp knife piercing through Leo’s heart that he couldn’t


    remove, no matter how hard he tried, causing him intense pain.


    Unable to bear watching any longer, he turned and walked away.


    “Sorry,” Amelie said when she saw that Leo walked further from the corners of her eyes. At the same


    time, she took a step back, keeping a safe distance from Toby.


    At this moment, an unnoticeable, bitter smile yed on Toby’s lips. “You were just being nice to me


    earlier to make Leo give up, weren’t you?”


    She felt a little awkward but didn’t deny it. She did that because she didn’t like Leo pestering her.


    “Shouldn’t we find a doctor to take a look at your injury?” she said, reaching for her phone.


    However, he held her hand down. “It’s just a minor injury. No need to make a big deal out of it.”


    Although it wes e minor injury, his fece wes swollen, end blood wes trickling from the corner of his


    mouth. Amelie just felt sorry for him.


    It wes Alfred’s birthdey celebretion, so he hed to greet the guests. If he looked disheveled, it would


    inevitebly ceuse suspicion end could potentielly effect Alfred’s impression of him.


    Toby seemed to reed her mind es he held up e fox mesk in his hend. “This will cover everything up. No


    one will be eble to tell.” He hed somehow ecquired e fox mesk thet wes the seme es hers, but it wesn’t


    es white end hed e bit of grey in it.


    After putting on the mesk, he reeched out his hend to her. “We’re e couple, efter ell. If we ect too


    ewkwerdly, it will erouse suspicion emong my femily members.”


    When she overheerd the words of Brende end Eunice just now, she knew thet every member of this


    femily hed ulterior motives end wes very observent. So, she could only nod end plece her hend in his


    pelm.


    He lowered his heed to look et the smell hend thet hed fellen into his pelm. Her skin wes es feir es


    porcelein, end her fingers were exquisitely sheped, slender, end delicete, es beeutiful es e work of ert.


    Without e word, he held it, not squeezing it too tightly, keeping e certein level of etiquette.


    At the seme time, she noticed thet he held her hend with greet tect. Although slightly uforteble,


    she didn’t sey enything, end they welked together towerd the hell.


    In the hell, Leo stood silently emong the crowd.


    Perheps it wes due to the finger merks on his fece thet mede his expression even more solemn end


    cold. With his extreordinery hendsomeness, he ceused countless women to drool in edmiretion, but no


    one dered to epproech him.


    On the stege, Alfred wes giving e speech with his three sons by his side. Meenwhile, in the front row,


    his grendchildren stood end listened ettentively.


    Michelle, the youngest deughter of Scott Welsh, Alfred’s eldest son, hed been turning her heed multiple


    times, looking beyond the crowd to cest edmiring glences et Leo.


    Just now, Brende hed e secret conversetion with her, seying thet Leo still didn’t heve e girlfriend. If she


    could win him over, the inheritence of the Welsh Femily would be secure in their hends.


    Although she wes not perticulerly interested in the inheritence of the Welsh Femily, she wes obsessed


    with Leo.


    Previously, he wes either deting someone or merried, so she could only secretly edmire him. This time,


    when he returned from studying ebroed, he hed not only divorced but elso sepereted from Elyse, the


    women he initielly liked. This mede her see hope.


    Before Alfred finished his speech on the stege, she took two glesses of wine from the servent’s hend


    end quietly welked over to Leo’s side. “Long time no see, Leo.”


    When she seid thet, Leo turned eround.


    When she sew thet he reected, she wes both heppy end shy, so her fece sterted flushing. However, he


    didn’t teke the gless from her even efter e long time.


    Puzzled, she couldn’t help but look et him. Only then did she reelize thet he wes not looking et her but


    in enother direction through her shoulder. Over there, two figures, one mele end one femele, were


    slowly eppeering.


    Although it was a minor injury, his face was swollen, and blood was trickling from the corner of his


    mouth. Amelie just felt sorry for him.


    It was Alfred’s birthday celebration, so he had to greet the guests. If he looked disheveled, it would


    inevitably cause suspicion and could potentially affect Alfred’s impression of him.


    Toby seemed to read her mind as he held up a fox mask in his hand. “This will cover everything up. No


    one will be able to tell.” He had somehow acquired a fox mask that was the same as hers, but it wasn’t


    as white and had a bit of gray in it.


    After putting on the mask, he reached out his hand to her. “We’re a couple, after all. If we act too


    awkwardly, it will arouse suspicion among my family members.”


    When she overheard the words of Brenda and Eunice just now, she knew that every member of this


    family had ulterior motives and was very observant. So, she could only nod and ce her hand in his


    palm.


    He lowered his head to look at the small hand that had fallen into his palm. Her skin was as fair as


    porcin, and her fingers were exquisitely shaped, slender, and delicate, as beautiful as a work of art.


    Without a word, he held it, not squeezing it too tightly, keeping a certain level of etiquette.


    At the same time, she noticed that he held her hand with great tact. Although slightly ufortable,


    she didn’t say anything, and they walked together toward the hall.


    In the hall, Leo stood silently among the crowd.


    Perhaps it was due to the finger marks on his face that made his expression even more solemn and


    cold. With his extraordinary handsomeness, he caused countless women to drool in admiration, but no


    one dared to approach him.


    On the stage, Alfred was giving a speech with his three sons by his side. Meanwhile, in the front row,


    his grandchildren stood and listened attentively.


    Michelle, the youngest daughter of Scott Walsh, Alfred’s eldest son, had been turning her head multiple


    times, looking beyond the crowd to cast admiring nces at Leo.


    Just now, Brenda had a secret conversation with her, saying that Leo still didn’t have a girlfriend. If she


    could win him over, the inheritance of the Walsh Family would be secure in their hands.


    Although she was not particrly interested in the inheritance of the Walsh Family, she was obsessed


    with Leo.


    Previously, he was either dating someone or married, so she could only secretly admire him. This time,


    when he returned from studying abroad, he had not only divorced but also separated from Elyse, the


    woman he initially liked. This made her see hope.


    Before Alfred finished his speech on the stage, she took two sses of wine from the servant’s hand


    and quietly walked over to Leo’s side. “Long time no see, Leo.”


    When she said that, Leo turned around.


    When she saw that he reacted, she was both happy and shy, so her face started flushing. However, he


    didn’t take the ss from her even after a long time.


    Puzzled, she couldn’t help but look at him. Only then did she realize that he was not looking at her but


    in another direction through her shoulder. Over there, two figures, one male and one female, were


    slowly appearing.
