When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 223

“Get lost. I’m going to look for Leo!” She wasn’t an idiot—she knew that she only had the privilege of being a demanding and authoritative person because of her relationship with Leo back then. So, she knew that the right decision was to cling to Leo.“Leo?” An uneasy look surfaced on Ashton’s wimpy face after he heard her words. The Lowe Family had a long history with the Alstons, and Ashton and Leo had practically grown up together. The families had always made comparisons between Ashton and Leo as they were growing up, and the comparisons always brought them to the same conclusion—that Leo was the gold standard to be achieved while Ashton was the biggest failure. Even though Ashton rarely voiced out, he often felt a sense of aversion toward Leo.It was clear that Elyse was trying to shame Ashton by mentioning Leo. He felt like she was rubbing salt in his wound. “He probably doesn’t have the time for you. He’s probably with Amelie now. I saw a leather file in his office, and I heard that it consisted of all of Amelie’s files. I’m not sure what he’s doing with that information, but it’s rare for Leo to gather information about someone else. He barely does it to other girls!” Ashton couldn’t help himself from speaking up. As expected, his words brought about a weak and pale expression on Elyse’s face. Her body even started trembling. If Leo sees the data, he’ll find out that Amelie is Big Eyes!

Furthermore, Amelie was alive, and if Leo asked her about it…Large beads of sweat trickled down Elyse’s back. He treats me so heartlessly, even when he thinks I’m his savior’s sister. If he finds out the truth about my role in this, and if he finds out that I have been lying, then my life will be over. He’s going to do more than just cancel our engagement! Elyse didn’t have the guts to imagine further what the man might do. She might have pulled on her hair and screamed at the top of her lungs if she hadn’t felt the need to control herself in front of Ashton.“Ashton!” She clutched onto his arm once more. She didn’t even realize how deep she had dug her nails into his skin. “Please help me. Please, help me to alter the details in the files!” she cried.“Why do you need to change the files?” Ashton was confused. Elyse took her sunglasses off to reveal the side of her face
