Chapter 73
The person was standing in the shadow, so she couldn’t see his face clearly.
Still, she heard the name Alston as someone called out to him.
Elyse was so terrified that her soul nearly left her body. She rushed forward and grabbed the man’s arm as she cried out, “That’s all a lie, Leo! Don’t believe Amelie! It’s all fake! I didn’t… do that. Don’t believe her, no matter what evidence she shows you.”
“So, I should believe you instead?”
The voice sounded amused.
It also sounded dismissive.
There was even a hint of derision.
This isn’t Leo’s voice!
As soon as Elyse realized that, she quickly lifted her head.
A young and handsome face greeted her.
“C-Chris?”
Elyse turned even paler when she saw Chris.
She wanted to clench her hands, but she couldn’t.
Chris looked at her with a slight smile on his face. “I can’t believe it. The amazing goddess, Miss Elyse Clayton, would actually do such a thing. What would my cousin think if he found out about this?”
Elyse began to quiver like a leaf.
She also turned as white as a sheet.
“Amelie… lied! It’s a lie!” she refuted weakly.
Chris scratched his ear. “Since it’s just a lie, why don’t I check the address that she mentioned? Maybe I’ll end up finding the person she was referring to.”
He repeated the address Amelie had given. He could even recall the phone number as well.
Elyse’s lips trembled, and she could not bring herself to speak.
She was mortified that her dirty deeds had been exposed.
Her eyes welled up with tears.
Chris snorted at the sight. The instant she began crying, it thoroughly took all the fun out of things, so he grabbed his helmet and strode away.
“Chris!” Elyse desperately grabbed onto his clothes. “You won’t-”
“Don’t worry. I won’t tell Leo.” Chris could read Elyse like a book.
Even his expression turned into one of scorn when he regarded her.
He shook his clothes out of her grip with a look of unconcealed disdain.
Although Elyse was humiliated, Chris’ promise made her heart settle.
It didn’t matter who else knew about it as long as Leo didn’t.
