A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 175

When Amelie arrived at the riverside opposite Starlight Media, she was stopped by a young lady. Then, she nodded without saying anything and glanced at the familiar figure not far away. Even though the other person was only a few feet away, she could sense an air of superiority emanating from that other person, which made her uneasy.

Melissa eventually turned around but did not meet her gaze, and there was a hint of displeasure on her face. It was an expression of dismay at Amelie’s lack of respect for her. As was her custom, she conveyed her emotions solely through her facial expression without further explanation. Simply lowering her gaze, she could make anyone feel small and vulnerable.

Nevertheless, Amelie still felt oppressed despite being used to her behavior.
