The Return of the Disguised Princess

Chapter 220 Leila Returned Without Success

Amelie purposefully brought up the past to twist the knife in Leila’s old wounds, and showed Leila how much dirt she had on

The past never truly disappeared.

Sure enough, Leila’s expression curdled when she heard this. She glared daggers at Amelie.

“What do you mean by dredging up the past? Do you think you can walk all over me just because you know some stale gossip?”

Leila stormed up to Amelie, blazing with her eyes.

“Of course not. I was just curious why you came crawling back. And what makes you so sure you’ll become the Byron family’s daughter–in–law. As far as I know, Mr. Byron feels nothing for the likes of you.”

“Lamont will only ever be mine. Only I qualified to be the Byron family’s daughter–in–law!”

Leila shrieked in frustration. She flung open the door and stormed out of the room.

Only then did the private room regain its calm.
