A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 156

Ashton was also confused. “He asked me about Elaine just now, and I admitted to it, as we had discussed

before. After that, he just left.”

Elyse immediately frowned, her eyebrows tightly knitted,

Her heart also began to thump wildly.

“What questions did he ask?” she asked anxiously.

Ashton relayed the questions as they were.

He had just finished speaking when Elyse trembled in anger, saying, “How can you be so stupid? If Leo asked you, that means he was just guessing. He wasn’t completely sure whether Elaine was someone we made up or not. By admitting it so easily, you’re confessing everything on your own!”

Elyse looked at the idiot of a man in front of her. If he didn’t have the Lowe Family backing him, she would have slapped him long ago.

Ashton had always thought he stood out and was better than everyone else.

When he heard Elyse’s words, his expression went stiff. He couldn’t explode in anger, so he could only say, “Even if I confessed to it, I would be the only one at fault. You don’t have to worry.”

“How can I not be worried?” Elyse felt annoyed when Ashton was still being ignorant. “Back then, we talked to Leo together. Do you think that Leo, with his intelligence, wouldn’t be able to figure out that I was involved as well?”

She had discreetly told Ashton to take the blame before, but that was just in case of emergencies. She didn’t think he would admit to it so quickly and reveal everything on his own accord!

It was only then that Ashton realized his mistake. He scratched his head in regret, then felt a little mad as he said, “How dare Leo play tricks on me! Geez!”

Elyse glared at him in disgust.

Nothing was going right tonight, and now that Ashton had exposed the matter with Elaine on his own, Leo would hate Elyse even more.

Was their breakup truly set in stone?

Extremely annoyed, she was no longer in the mood to entertain Ashton. She turned around and got into the

car.

Elyse was still too irked to check the screen, so she tossed her phone aside.

She rested her hand on her forehead as she leaned against the window, closing her eyes and staying silent.

Behind the wheel, Ashton had been quiet all this while. When he noticed she wasn’t answering the phone, he turned around and took the phone to take a glance. “It’s a call from Mrs. Alston. Are you sure you’re not going

to pick it up?”

It was only then that Elyse opened her eyes. There was a look of surprise in her eyes as she glanced at the

screen.

She proceeded to take the phone and place it beside her ear. “Hello?”

“Elyse, I spotted you just now. Did you come to the Alston Residence?” On the other end of the line, Melissa’s voice was filled with a natural sense of superiority. She spoke in a high-and-mighty tone even when she was
