A Matter of Wife and Love
Chapter 125

Chapter 125

"Be careful!" Julia yelled while her eyes widened in shock. Amelie reacted quickly and retreated instantly when the motorcycle was about to hit her by dodging behind the pillar. The bike came to a screeching stop. Then, the man pulled off his helmet and looked at Amelie with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, the garage is too dark, so I didn't notice you."

"The area is too dark and yet you still drive so fast?" Julia jumped out and scolded him immediately. "If you hit her, how will you take responsibility?"

"Sorry." The other party kept apologizing.

Amelie calmed down, then walked out and pulled Julia. "Forget it."

Julia glared at the man again, then pulled Amelie toward the car. When Amelie looked up, she saw Leo who had rushed out at some point, and he was standing less than three meters away from her. At this time, he was looking over at her. She froze for a moment, wondering what Leo was doing here and if he was going to rescue

her.

Amelie immediately shook her head again. Considering his hatred for her, he probably wished she died sooner.

He ran over just now because he probably wanted to see how she was killed.

Thinking of this, Amelie quickly looked away. Julia lowered her head and got into the car. Soon, they drove

away.

From behind, Elyse looked at Leo with a pale face. Leo had just left her behind to save Amelie! She was originally carried by him, but the moment Leo realized that something happened to Amelie, he almost instinctively shoved her to the side of the car and rushed off. Fortunately, the other party didn't hit Amelie. Otherwise, Elyse would lose face today.

Elyse suppressed the uneasiness and annoyance in her heart before walking to Leo in a sickly manner. "Leo, I'm really uncomfortable. Take me to the hospital."

As if Leo didn't hear her, he walked up to the motorcycle, stretched out his long arm, and grabbed the motorcycle rider's collar. With a forceful tug, the person had been pulled off the motorcycle. Thereafter, Led punched him in the face. The man was hit in the nose, so his nose bled immediately.

"What are you doing?" the man yelled, covering his nose.

Leo didn't answer and punched him a few more times before throwing him on the ground. Then, he turned around and walked back to the car.

Elyse watched as Leo beat the man up, feeling both shocked and terrified. That person merely scared Amelie and even Amelie didn't really care about it, but he....

The uneasiness in her heart was like a whirlpool, drowning her completely!

"Leo."

After getting in the car, Elyse held Leo's hand and said in a playful tone, "What happened to you just now? Amelie is a race car driver and has a swift reaction. Nothing can hit her at all."

There were two underlying meanings in her words. One was hinting that Leo was attracted to Amelie because he saw how outstanding she was. Another was reminding Leo that this was most likely a scene se up by Amelie herself to test him.

Leo rubbed his brows. "Don't think too much. Even if it was a stranger, I can't just stand there and do nothing. What's more, she's Bria's mother."

Elyse didn't say anything more, but her eyes revealed her deep unhappiness. She looked at his angular and handsome face. Then, a sneer appeared on her lips. Leo, were you nervous just because Amelie is Bria's mother?

Perhaps even he didn't know why he rushed out to rescue Amelie and even attacked the rider afterward. Fortunately, Amelie had become the female proprietor of Starlight Media, and she was no longer a threat.

Amelie changed her clothes in the car. She then put on some light dinner makeup and tied her hair loosely behind her head, fixing it with a hairpin with a tassel. Julia parked the car downstairs at the Silver Cloud Hotel where the annual dinner was held, then turned to look at Amelie.

Although the color of Amelie's dress was very plain, her skin was fair and supple. It was smooth and clean without any blemishes. Her eyes were big and bright; her lips were strawberry pink. Moreover, the bridge of her nose was high, and her eyelashes were long as they fluttered lightly like the wings of butterflies. Her loose updo and the hairpin with a tassel added a bit of softness around her face. In fact, she looked elegant and gorgeous in a charming yet pure manner, as if she was right out of a painting.

"How stunning!"

Sure enough, a beautiful woman could fascinate others even if she was wearing a sack.

When the two arrived at the venue, many other people had already arrived. Among these people, there were employees of Starlight Media as well as those from other collaborative companies. Some people came here because of the event's reputation; they wanted to get acquainted with Starlight Media. There were even some who simply wanted to see what kind of character the female proprietor of Starlight Media was like.

Starlight Media was at the height of its power now. With all kinds of famous Internet celebrities doing live broadcasts, videos, and online selling based in this company, the ability of the company to rake in money was unimaginable. Therefore, Starlight Media's every move attracted a lot of attention. Some people even spent a lot of money to get an admission ticket for this event, and it was said that admission tickets were sold for millions

When the usher saw the two of them, he immediately opened the tall and large entrance door. No one said anything, but the people inside felt a flash of light from outside all of a sudden, and they all looked over at the

same time.

"Hey, that's the female proprietor of Starlight Media."

Soon, all eyes fell on Amelie. Most of the people present had read notices issued by Starlight Media's boss and knew that Amelie was "his" favorite, but Amelie used to work in seclusion and didn't know many people.

Amelie naturally had an impressive aura that lingered around her. Every time she took a step, her brilliance scattered around her. The light in everyone's eyes changed from initial speculation and suspicion to surprise.

"She's so beautiful and sassy! Why was she not popular when she was in the Alston Family?"

Although the matter between Amelie, Leo, and the Alston Family was not deliberately exposed, so many things had happened recently, so everyone couldn't help but dig about it. Soon, many hidden secrets were revealed.

"I know right? With this temperament and appearance, she can even marry into the royal family if she inclines to. Why does the Alston Family not like her?"

"The Alston Family probably has bad taste."

Everyone talked and gossiped, and no one noticed someone suddenly looking angry on one side.

She stared at Amelie who was not far away with deep disgust and fury. Her fingernails dug into her fancy clutch, and the expensive platinum clutch was soon damaged by several deep marks! "Damn it, Amelie! You must be doing this on purpose!" she cursed in a low voice with endless hatred in her

eyes.

"She just wants to use this opportunity to ruin the Alston Family's reputation!"

This person was none other than Jodie Alston. She was furious at being tricked by Amelie before, and she heard that Amelie would come today, so she purposely spent a lot of money to get the admission ticket and came here specifically to make trouble for Amelie.

However, before she could do anything, Amelie's presence and all the comments about the latter infuriated Jodie to no end. She wanted to rip Amelie apart! Her raging gaze pierced Amelie, who was surrounded by the crowd and was glowing with radiance. Jodie felt wrathful and jealous. The more successful Amelie was, the more she didn't want Amelie to have a good life.

Today, I must put Amelie to shame somehow! In the future, when everyone mentions the female proprietor of Starlight Media, they will only laugh mockingly!

Thinking of this, Jodie strode out.
