A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 230

Please don’t tell me he’s been standing there watching me and Matthew all this while.

With that thought, Amelie shook her head. No, Leo wouldn’t do such a childish thing, so he must be waiting for someone.

As a result, she did not intend to pay any attention to him and continued forward. When she arrived before Leo, he straightened his back and left the railway to stand before her. His deep eyes landed on her figure. “That man isn’t a fit for you.”

She was speechless. Although she had no intention of getting into a relationship with Matthew, having Leo point out her private matters made her feel uneasy.

A faint smile appeared on her beautiful face as she rebuked, “Mr. Alston, you’re crossing the line.”

Leo looked silently at her and found her smile cold and offended. Is it because I criticized that man?

He did not know Matthew’s name but remembered who Matthew was. He was the man who was always following behind Amelie back at Quinn Town. Now, he chased after her to Clouson City.

Combining what Amelie said and how she let that man hold her hand, Leo reckoned she had feelings for that man. That guy not only looks meh, but his career is also… meh. His entire existence screams ‘basic’, so what does she see in him?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. His face darkened like storm clouds, and an oppressive aura spread about several feet to their surroundings!

Suddenly, Amelie could feel the oppressive atmosphere and shivered. Why do I feel so cold?

At first, she thought Leo would act like he usually did and leave without saying anything, but who would have thought he would continue to stand before her like a statue?

“I just want to remind you that you have Bria with you, so it’s not suitable for you to marry a man who’s stepping into his first marriage.” In an instant, Leo’s voice became ice cold.

His words… He’s clearly saying that I’m divorced, so I don’t deserve to marry someone like Matthew. Fortunately, I have no intentions with Matthew. Or else, I might’ve been discouraged.

His words resembled a fishbone lodged in her throat; it was stuck in her throat, neither going up nor down, making it utterly uncomfortable to reply.

Not wanting to say another word to him, Amelie walked past him and left.

When she arrived at Julia’s office, she saw Julia crossing both her legs on her chair, indecently swirling it in circles. Also, she had one hand lazily propping one side of her head while looking at something in her other hand.

When she saw Amelie, she giggled and walked over. “Have you heard? Elyse has been living a hellish life recently. Not only is her manager ignoring her, but all her resources have also been taken away by newbies. Also, there’s been news that she even fought with a newbie. Someone happened to catch it on camera and posted it on the Internet. The few remaining geeky fans she had have now made a change of heart and unfollowed her social media accounts.”

Since Amelie was busy with matters about their platform and had no interest in entertainment news, she did not know about Elyse’s recent situation.

Then, Julia reached out her arm and showed her the video.

Amelie looked down and watched the video of Elyse fighting another person without caring about her image. The Elyse inside the video was no longer the same elegant woman but shrewd!This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Also, the viral video gave the netizens another look at how she was in real life. Henceforth, her image plummeted, and the internet was filled with criticism of her.

“She already can’t act, and now, she comes out with such a scandal. Does she not want to stay in the industry anymore?” Julia huffed.

With the number of disgusting deeds Elyse had done, Julia felt no pity for her encounter; instead, she was gloating.

“What’s up with Leo recently? The love of his life is being mistreated, yet he doesn’t even come to her rescue. Is he going to stand by and watch as everyone criticizes her and let her dreams get washed away?”

At the mention of him, Amelie instinctively thought about what he had said earlier and felt displeased. However, she did not show it on her face but replied coldly, “Melissa has her eyes set on the Joyner Family from Seafare, so he might be getting married soon.”

“Really? The Joyner Family from Seafare? That’s a huge chunk of meat,” Julia spoke sarcastically. “No wonder he left Elyse alone. He’s afraid the Joyners would be unhappy about this. Seriously, how ambitious is Leo? He’s already a tycoon in Clouson City and gets his assets doubled each year, yet he still wants to marry someone from the Joyner Family? Is he trying to become the richest man in the country?”

“Regardless of whether he’s trying to become the richest man in the country or the world, that has nothing to do with me.” Amelie seemed uninterested as she reached for a contract on the table beside her. “Have you drawn up the cooperation details on Matthew’s project?”

“It’s all done. All there’s left is for the legal department to run through it, then we can get him to sign the contract.” While Julia was explaining, she looked at Amelie with glistening eyes. “He asked me a lot of questions about you after finding out that we know each other. Also, he told me that he had exerted a

lot of effort in pursuing you back in the day. It was a pity he was interested in you, but you weren’t. I think he’s an honest and upright man whom you can rely on. Are you not going to consider him?”

Julia only met Amelie after high school, and since Matthew and Amelie did not go to the same school, he could only pursue her when she was in Quinn Town. Therefore, Julia did not know of his existence.

Moreover, with Amelie’s current value, their marriage would be considered marrying down into the Larkson Family.

Still, with her abilities, she did not need to rely on men to gain money. All she needed was a considerate and meticulous man, so Julia saw highly of Matthew.

“Stop trying to be a matchmaker.” Amelie closed the document and slapped it on Julia. “Don’t you think I have enough on my plate?”

Having Matthew chasing after me is already bothersome enough, and there are also Leo’s sarcastic remarks…

“I rather leave these men alone and not let them interfere with my life.”

Isn’t it satisfying enough to live a life with Bria and Dad?

Seeing that Amelie was uninterested, Julia could only stop talking about it and received the document. “To be honest, I don’t know much about Quinn Town. If you, the boss, hadn’t authorized this project, I wouldn’t have decided to cooperate with them so quickly.

“I was born in Quinn Town. The air there is fresh, and I’ve visited Matthew’s farm before. The farm is run according to the Peroulian Union’s standards, and the fruits are grown entirely without pesticides. So, we don’t have to worry about their products.”

Back then, the fruits Matthew sold were all imported. However, due to the pandemic worsening the market over the last two years, he could only turn to local fruits.

“Although the quality of his fruits passes with flying colors, the domestic market is already saturated. If it weren’t for you, no matter how good he is, he might not have reached what he has today. In that sense, it looks like Matthew owes you a big favor.” After saying that, Julia rose to her feet and called the legal department to progress with the final checking and printing of the contract.

When Amelie heard what Julia said, she pursed her lips and said calmly, “We grew up in the same town, so I’ll help him in any way I can.”

Just as Julia was about to reply, she thought she saw a figure behind the ajar door and strode over. When she looked out the door, the place was empty, so she did not think too much about it and took a few more glances around before shutting the door.

After the door was closed, a figure clad in a suit appeared.
