A Matter of Wife and Love
Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Because He Hates You

Ashton was worried. "Elyse, this wicked woman might harm you!"

Elyse was secretly sneering. Even if Amelie wants to harm me, someone as foolish as you can't do anything about it.

"Don't worry. She won't."

Although Ashton was worried about Elyse, he still obeyed her orders.

He glanced at Elyse and then gave Amelie a death stare before leaving.

Once the door was closed, the elegant temperament Elyse forcefully put on disappeared, and her expression turned cold. "I didn't expect you to be one of many talents. You can race cars and even fight, but you hid it so well."

Having no interest in continuing this boring conversation, Amelie rebuked, "Miss Clayton, I'm sure you know that I don't need to apologize to you, so goodbye."

She turned around and headed for the door.

Amelie's cold attitude added to Elyse's hatred, making Elyse even more desperate to crush Amelie.

Elyse frowned hard and came up with a plan.

"Miss Dillon!" She called out to Amelie. "I know you despise me. I faked my kidnapping and tricked Leo to come to replace me, leaving you freezing in the cold. Later, someone tried to avenge me and contaminated the hospital's blood supply, rendering you and your child in critical condition."

Being the intelligent woman she was, even when they were alone, Elyse tactfully mentioned the contaminated blood incident and ensured she wasn't related to it in any way.

When Amelie heard that incident being mentioned, she gradually stopped walking, wanting to see what Elyse would say next.

Amelie turned around and saw that Elyse had her lips pursed tightly and her eyes clear and cold. "But why don't you think about what you did wrong?"

After saying that, Elyse picked up her cup and took a sip before continuing, "Leony and I were separated because of you. During those four years, my life was like hell, and Leony wasn't happy either. If you hadn't disrupted our loving relationship, we would have already formed a happy family together, but look at what's happening now. We've gotten back together, yet we've also become the topic of public criticism, and because of the substantial change in our lives during those four years, Leony thinks that he is no longer worthy of me after getting divorced. You've caused so much harm to us, yet you can't even tolerate someone seeking justice for me."

Elyse's words sounded righteous, but Amelie felt like laughing when she heard them.

I shouldn't have expected Elyse to say something humane. She's clearly the one behind the blood contamination incident, yet she paints it as someone seeking justice for her. Also, she cheated on Leo and embarrassed him and the Alston Family. I was dragged into this mess to save the day, but she said I had separated them. Could there be any one more hypocritical than her?

Amelie wasn't angry and cupped her fist. "Miss Clayton, your ability to make things up and act innocent is unbeatable. I'll give you that!"

Elyse didn't know how to react. She thought Amelie would throw a fit and act on impulse. However, she didn't get the result she wanted.

While disappointingly fidgeting with her fingers, Elyse withdrew her finger that was placed on the recording button on her phone.

Meanwhile, Amelie noticed her actions but didn't do anything and feigned ignorance. "In comparison to the things you did to me, my targeting you seem insignificant and unnecessary. Can you not take it any longer? I have yet to use your tricks on you!"

Those words were like a blow to Elyse's chest. She felt her blood surge as she trembled.

If Amelie did use those means on her... Just the thought of it sounded terrifying to her!

It seemed it was getting more difficult to deal with the divorcée Amelie.

Elyse couldn't help but glare at Amelie, only to replace that Amelie had a calm expression and was seemingly unaffected by her fierce gaze.

In addition, Amelie smirked faintly and shot back a mocking gaze.

Is she taking me for a joke?!

Elyse's hands clenched into fists yet again.

A while later, she thought about something and regained her calm.

Following that, she smiled meaningfully and provoked, "Miss Dillon, do you know why Leony still chose me after knowing what I did to you? Also, not only didn't he punish me for what I did, but he also became more affectionate to me."

A sly glimmer appeared in her eyes while she exhaled. "That's because he hates you! And..."

Elyse stopped again, and the sarcasm in her tone deepened as she continued, "He never wanted you to give birth to your child. Otherwise, why didn't arrange for someone to fetch you when he could? Why didn't he show up while you were in labor when he could have shown some concern for you? That's because your child is the biggest stain in his life! Only you would have the guts to give birth to an unwelcome child. Pfft."

Her body shook along with her cackle.

The more she laughed, the more pain Amelie felt.

Although she knew what Leo thought of her, she couldn't help but feel distressed when thinking about the innocent Bria having to suffer such treatment.

Elyse slid off the bed and came toward Amelie before tiptoeing to whisper in Amelie's ears. "You keep criticizing me for harming your child, but I'm actually helping you. No, to be more precise, I'm helping your child. Think about it. If you lost your child in the freezing snow or during blood poisoning, she wouldn't have to face such a situation, right? Due to your insolence, your child will have to face criticism her entire life, and whenever others see her, they will be reminded of your actions. Look at what you've done. First, you forced Leony to marry you and then you cheated and even gave birth to an unwanted child, making her the laughingstock everywhere she goes. How do you expect her to keep her confidence in the future?"

One had to admit that Elyse was very good at hitting other people's sore spots.

With just a few sharp sentences, she managed to bring up what Amelie was most worried about recently.

"I've helped you twice, but you saw me as the enemy and stubbornly gave birth to the child. Look who's suffering now?"

Amelie was pale, and her shoulders drooped down listlessly while she tightly bit on her lip.

Then, she felt a tight grip on her arm as Elyse grabbed her.

"Amelie, leave this place. Bring your child and start over in a different place where no one knows you!"

Hearing that, Amelie suddenly turned back to give a stare, her lips slightly parted.

Elyse met her gaze. "I know you have nothing to do with the owner of Starlight Media, which is even better. I can give you enough money to ensure you and your child live a carefree life!" After saying that, she took out a check. "How about 10 million? I can add more if you want!"

The sight of the check brought Amelie back to reality, and she grabbed it.

When Elyse saw Amelie accept the check, a victorious smile appeared on her face.

Tap! Tap!

Swaying the check in her hand, Amelie tapped it twice. "Miss Clayton, you're indeed as generous as they say. Since you're such a generous person, how about..."
