Chapter 296 Elyse’s Comeuppance

“Listen up, Elyse, and your entire family too.” Leo’s voice was still and unemotional. “This is the last time I’ll answer a call from you. I won’t ask for the money you tricked me into giving you, but you will need to suffer the consequences of your actions. The lawyer will get in touch with you soon. You can get into the details with him.”

“Leo!” Elyse cried out once more as her face turned ghostly pale. She couldn’t resign herself to this.

All she got in reply was a dial tone.

He ended the call!

“What happened?” Michael quickly asked when he noticed Elyse standing there motionlessly with a strange expression on her face.

The phone slipped out of Elyse’s hand and clattered on the floor. Elyse looked defeated.

“What on earth is going on? Hurry up and tell me!” Michael urged when he realized that things weren’t going the way he had hoped.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Michael eyed Elyse for a moment before rushing over to get the door.

A stranger was standing outside.

Michael scrutinized the man with his beady eyes and asked, “Who are you? Did you come to the wrong address?”

“I’m Mr. Alston’s lawyer. I’m here to see Michael and Elyse Clayton,” the man answered. “You must be Michael Clayton.”

“L-Lawyer?” Michael instinctively took a step back when he heard that this man was a lawyer.

The lawyer walked into the house and saw a clueless Ellen and an ashen-faced Elyse.

He nodded and said, “I suppose Mr. Alston has told you why I’m here, Miss Clayton.”

He deftly opened up his briefcase and took out a stack of paper.

“This is the evidence of your attempts to trick Mr. Alston. The truth is that Miss Ellen Clayton and Mr. Alston never had any contact before. You misled him on purpose to make him think that Ellen Clayton was Big Eyes. In the eyes of the law, this counts as fraud.”
