When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 196

“Mr. Alston,” Eugene walked over to stand behind Leo and called out in a low voice.

Leo himself was wounded, but it was not until a moment ago that he remembered to arrange for a doctor to bandage his wounds.

When he caught sight of Eugene, he remained calm and lowered his head to button the gray shirt draped around his body. His cold and white fingers were a sharp contrast against the gray shade of his shirt.

The doctor said a few words to him before departing. Only then did he open his mouth to speak, “What is it?”

Eugene nodded. “Your speculation was correct. Miss Clayton was indeed involved in Bria’s accident.”

He informed Leo about the contents of Elyse’s phone call that he had overheard earlier. After he finished his report, he quietly turned to look at Leo. “How do you plan to deal with her?”

Leo’s fingers were frozen in the middle of undoing one of the buttons. Although his stern expression remained unchanged, the sharp light in his eyes had grown increasingly intense. His pitch-black pupils resembled bottomless pits of darkness.

Eugene shuddered in fear when he accidentally got a glimpse of Leo’s frigid anger! Still, he couldn’t help feeling secretly surprised to see Leo in such a state. He had worked under Leo for so long, so he could tell with a glance—Leo was absolutely enraged.

“Punish her.” A long while passed before Leo spoke in a chilly voice, “Teach her a harsh lesson!”

“Yes!” Eugene instantly responded in a quiet murmur.

Elyse had probably counted on the fact that Leo was indebted to Ellen when she took action, but she had forgotten about one thing—where Leo’s limits stood.

Eugene accepted the order, turned around, and walked out of the room.

Behind Eugene, Leo’s fingers clenched around the button. He clutched the button so tightly that his knuckles had turned white! If not for the favor he owed Ellen, then what Elyse did today would be enough to make her disappear from this world for good!

Amelie slept deeply and did not awaken until the next day. When her eyes fluttered open, a white ceiling entered her vision. After some time, she gradually recalled what had happened to her yesterday. She also remembered that she was in the hospital. She slowly turned her head, searching for the figures of Bria and Steven. What she saw was a head of black hair instead.

Leo? She was taken aback for a moment.
