A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 85 Elyse Stole Her Credit

“Amelie, has it ever occurred to you that Elyse’s real purpose is to steal your credit?!”

“Steal my credit?” Amelie froze for a second.

She got what Julia meant, but…

“This is ultimately just an assumption. Don’t go around rambling,” she advised.

To that, Julia quirked her lips and huffed indignantly. “We’ll know as soon as we dig into it, won’t we? We can

overlook all the losses we’ve suffered and the sacrifices we’ve made now that we’re staying away from those

b*stards and b*tches, but that doesn’t mean we should let her claim the credit that isn’t hers! It is what it is. Elyse

trampled over you four years ago in exchange for momentary peace and a few years of prosperity. Now, four years

later, she wants to trample over you again in exchange for a happy ever after with Leo?! Fat chance!”

Julia was right. She could overlook everything in the past, but it didn’t mean people could walk all over her as they

pleased.

“I’ll look into this matter myself.” She didn’t want to drag Julia into this nonsensical mess.

“I’m already on it, and we’ll be hearing some news soon!” Julia quirked her brows profoundly.

The next second, her phone rang, and it was a call from Samuel.

“You have the report?!” Julia raised her brows after hearing Samuel’s words.

With that, Julia took Amelie to her place, where Samuel had already been waiting.

He was dressed in a dark gray dress shirt, and the tie on his neck showed that he had just arrived not long ago.

Upon seeing Amelie, he quirked his chin as a greeting, but before Amelie could even speak, she was already

handed her favorite latte.

“Come on, give it to us,” pressed Julia, a short-tempered one, before even sitting down.

Samuel shook his head helplessly at her as affection poured from his eyes.

He was long used to her short temper and knew that there was nothing anyone could do about it.

“I did some digging at the hospital, and the reading states that Elyse’s eyes are perfectly normal,” he revealed

while pushing Julia to a seat. “But here’s the interesting part. Someone overheard Elyse’s examining doctor and

nurse say her left eye has zero vision and that she deliberately kept quiet about it because she didn’t want Leo to

know. The best part is that Leo overheard it. At the same time, he also sent his men to find his cornea donor.

However, there hasn’t been a follow-up since Elyse got her eyes checked.”

Samuel had many jobs under his name, but his very first one was as a detective. Having operated the business for

years, he had long developed a fine network. As such, obtaining information like this was a piece of cake to him.

“We can be almost certain that Elyse has stolen your credit. She’s pretending to be blind and deceiving Leo as his

cornea donor! Can this woman be any more shameless?!” Julia slammed the table in anger repeatedly, wanting

nothing more than to mangle the woman. “That’s it! I’m going to capture her and show the world just who she is!”

Julia allowed her anger to take over her and decided to capture the woman immediately.

“So what if you capture her? What about her can you show to the world?” Samuel pulled her back helplessly. “Her

report shows that her eyes are working just fine. Capture her, and you’ll be the one affected.”

“What now, then? Are we going to just let her bully Amelie as she pleases?!” Julia’s eyes turned bloodshot as she

roared.

Then, she looked toward Amelie, and her heart wrenched at the thought that her friend could never see with both

eyes ever again.

“Julia, Samuel’s right.” Amelie joined Samuel in dissuading the young woman. She soothed, saying, “Elyse is

completely innocent on the surface. We have nothing on her.”

“That b*tch is too smart.” Julia seethed with rage.

In actuality, Amelie didn’t want to make a fuss about the matter.

She had willingly donated her cornea and deliberately kept it from Leo, so there was nothing to argue about.

Now that Leo wanted to be an idiot and accept Elyse’s deception, she couldn’t care less about it either. But seeing

how worked up Julia was, she was honestly worried the young woman would go all out and avenge her.

“Relax. I’ll see to it myself.” She patted Julia’s shoulder, only for the latter to grab her hand with an aching heart.

“Amelie, I know you want nothing to do with Alston anymore, but why should your credit be given to someone else?!

We can’t let Elyse act so shamelessly! So be it that she was ungrateful when she used you to flee four years ago,

yet she still wants to use you now?! Not on my watch! Swear to me that you’ll show her who’s boss, Amelie!”

“I swear.” Amelie nodded solemnly.

She was well aware that her issue hurt Julia even more. Besides, Elyse was indeed shameless for doing something

like this.

Later, Samuel sent her home on behalf of Julia.

“Julia’s a little hot-headed. I’ll talk some sense into her. Now that you and Leo have divorced, it won’t be good for

you to fight head-on. There’s no need to force yourself to do what you don’t want to. Of course, if there’s anything I

can help you with, feel free to come to me.”

Samuel was a little older than her and Julia, so he was like an older brother to the two.

He also genuinely wanted what was best for her.

Amelie nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry. I won’t fight him head-on, and you don’t need to get involved in this

either.”

“What do you have in mind?” Samuel couldn’t help asking.

“Someone will naturally see to it,” said the young woman euphemistically as she looked at the figure not far away.

Likewise, Samuel noticed the person at the main entrance and nodded. “You always know what to do, but keep an

eye open. Call me immediately if anything happens.”

“I got it. Thanks, Samuel.” Amelie bid the man goodbye before exiting the car.

“My, if it isn’t my ex-sister-in-law, Amelie Dillon.” A sarcastic voice rang out right as she arrived at her doorstep.

Jodie sauntered over with her arms crossed in front of her chest, looking condescendingly at Amelie while her ‘little

minions’ followed behind.

Amelie, on the other hand, reacted impassively toward Jodie and had no intention of greeting her either.

Naturally, Jodie became irritated, and the defeat she suffered at this very place immediately came to her.

At that, she went up to Amelie and shoved the latter while gazing provocatively like Amelie was a tattered rag. “Still

think you’re the first lady of Starlight Media, eh? Quit pretending! I already heard the CEO has dumped you! All that

two hundred million growth fund and divorcing his wife for you were nothing but stunts! He was merely using you

and had long abandoned you after you weren’t of use to him.”

However, Amelie stood firmly rooted to her spot without moving an inch.

“Carla told you about it, didn’t she? Do you trust her that much?” She looked at Jodie with a half-smile, stupefying

the latter so much that she didn’t even hit the roof.

She couldn’t believe Amelie knew she had a ‘brain’!

Meanwhile, Amelie smiled plainly as she said, “I have two pieces of advice for you. One, people will catch you easily

if you’re going to bully me here. I’m sure many people will be interested to learn about the sister of Leo Alston, the

CEO of Genesis. Two, your ‘brain’ isn’t as smart as you think she is. Someone’s ordering her in the shadows. You’ll

be dead before you know it if you really put all your trust in her.”

“Yeah, right!” As if Jodie would believe it.

“Why don’t you scare her with the ‘little minions’ you’re using to scare me? See if she’ll speak the truth.” Amelie

smiled. “Also, another important thing to remind you of.”

“What is it?” Not even Jodie was aware that Amelie already had the young woman wrapped around her little finger.

At that, Amelie smirked and gradually opened her mouth to speak.
