A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 272

Holding her neck, Elyse coughed vigorously, nearly hacking her lungs out.

“You should know there’s a price to pay for deceiving me.” Leo’s cold tone came from above her.

Still choking for her life, she felt tears rolling down her cheeks as this terrifying man stunned her. She fully believed Leo was adamant about strangling her to death earlier. Although she had always known of his cruelty, it was today she realized she had underestimated him. There’s no end to how cruel he can be!

Up to this point, she knew she could not admit to her deeds no matter what. Once she did, she would die a dog’s death. Leo doesn’t have any evidence anyway, and I didn’t leave any signs behind.

With this in mind, Elyse clenched her teeth and nodded. “I did go to the race track that day and texted Ashton to increase the difficulty of the track layout. I was upset inside and wanted to teach Amelie a lesson. I never thought there’d be something wrong with the logs.”

She communicated that rapidly out of fear that his grip might tighten around her neck if she spoke any slower. The sensation of death, pain, and desperation was something she never wanted to experience again.

“I mean, it was Amelie who insisted on being completely blindfolded when Ashton kept emphasizing only one eye was to be covered. If not for her stubbornness, such a dangerous thing wouldn’t have happened, though it did prove her abilities. Even under those circumstances, she still came out unscathed. I don’t understand why you’re suddenly pinning the blame on me. I-I-I feel so wronged.”

Her tears started to fall, yet they stemmed from fear rather than aggrievement.

Still, she knew if the secret about Amelie’s cornea remained unexposed, Amelie could only blame herself for this incident at the end of the day. From the outsiders’ perspectives, it was her ego that caused her the consequences.
