Chapter 77 A Slap in the Face

Elyse stepped forward and introduced herself nobly. “Hello, Mr. Hansen. My name is Elyse Clayton.” There was a graceful and impeccable smile on her face. “As for Miss Dillon, perhaps she just happens to pass by this place.” She directly spoke on Amelie’s behalf.

On the other hand, Amelie pressed her lips together, not in a hurry to speak. Beside them, Leo looked at Amelie, who remained motionless as though she was just a passer-by. Her expression was calm, and her bearing was dignified. He squinted his eyes, wondering what she was up to.

Following that, Elyse stepped forward, awaiting Mr. Hansen to lead the way for her. To her surprise, Mr. Hansen didn’t go in as he waved his hand and said, “No, the person Mr. Steward would like to see isn’t Clayton.”

“It’s me, Mr. Hansen.” Only then did Amelie call out to him as she brushed past Elyse and stood in front of the butler. “I’m Amelie Dillon.”

“Amelie Dillon?” Hearing the name, Mr. Hansen dipped his head. “That’s right. You’re the one that Mr. Steward would like to see. Please come with me, Miss Dillon.” His attitude turned hospitable in an instant as he led Amelie into the place.

On the other hand, the ignored Elyse was rooted to the spot as her mind turned blank. What’s going on? Isn’t Amelie here to look for Leo? I can’t believe she’s here to see Owen!

Meanwhile, Leo furrowed his brows. Despite being a seasoned man, he was still shocked by what he had just witnessed. His gaze then trailed Amelie.

“Leo.” Elyse came over with an embarrassed expression. She had promised that not only could they have a word with Owen, but she could also persuade him to work with Genesis.

What had just happened was no different from a slap in the face for her. On the other hand, Amelie had been invited into the house by the Steward Family’s butler. At that moment, Elyse felt extremely humiliated.

Soon, Mr. Hansen brought Amelie to the reception room. Guests to the Steward Residence were led to different places based on their statuses. The average guests would be brought to the side hall, while the more important ones would be led to the living room.

Meanwhile, the most important guests would be invited to the VIP room, which was where Amelie was heading.
