My Sugar And Your Spice

"He didn't say a word to me when such a big thing happened to you. How could I not divorce him?" Julia shouted.

"So… You're doing this for me?"

"You're my best friend. You went to such a dangerous place, and he should have accompanied you—no matter what!" Julia's voice still sounded angry.

Amelie felt both warm and amused, "He asked me to bring a bodyguard, but I refused. Also, I didn't want him to tell you."

"I don't believe it!" Julia still thought Amelie was helping Samuel.

"It's true," Amelie assured her again and again. "If you divorce him over this, won't I become the guilty one? You're my good friend. Don't do this to me."

Julia was dumbfounded. "Then I'll give him the cold shoulder for a few days."

"Okay, then just give him the cold shoulder!" Amelie finally felt relieved when she heard Julia's tone soften.

"Elie, there's something strange I've noticed." Julia finally got to the point after venting her anger. "Did you tell anyone that you were going there? How did those people find out?"

Amelie had been wondering about this too.

Amelie had hired a secretary to help with work. It was a young woman named Gladys Shea who had just graduated from college. Amelie thought about Gladys' character carefully and shook her head. "She's just a young girl who's new to the job. Her social connections are not very complicated. She couldn't possibly know those people."

This was like an unsolvable problem standing between the two of them. Amelie had more doubts besides this, such as how Leo happened to travel to the same country with her and stay in the same hotel. Life wasn't like a TV drama, and she didn't believe in that many coincidences. If it wasn't a coincidence,
