When I Was A Wallflower

toward the door.“It’s too late!” Her voice came from behind him. “Dad, have you thought about what would happen if you tell Leo we lied? He’d start getting suspicious about whether there’s an ‘Ellen’ in the first place! You and I know the truth, so if he decides to investigate this matter, he’ll certainly find something. When that time comes, we won’t live a comfortable life but disappear without a trace!” Once she finished her words, Michael fell to the ground like he had lost all his energy. “El, what have you done? Can’t you think before coming up with such a plan?”“Do you think Leo wouldn’t investigate this matter had today’s incident not happened?” Elyse stared down at her haggard-looking father with cold eyes. “He’s already suspicious and has been investigating! I helped you this time because only when ‘Ellen’ comes home will he ignore his suspicion and believe that it was her who saved him!”“Leo… is investigating this matter? H-How could that be? Didn’t we tie up all our loose ends? How could he…” He looked at her in disbelief.She sneered. “Do you think Leo is a fool?

If there isn’t one, we’ll just make one!” She wore a vicious expression while pinching her fingers.At that sight, Michael could not help but exclaim secretly while looking at his daughter. My daughter is more merciless than me!“You have more connections, so I’ll leave this to you. I’ll be responsible for stalling Leo,” Elyse ordered decisively.…When Amelie’s father, Steven, went to Quinn Town without returning home after a long time, she became worried and began calling him.He found an excuse and said he had something important to do but did not disclose much information when asked.Therefore, she thought he had gotten used to living in the countryside and stopped asking questions. Then, she exhorted him to take care of himself and transferred some money into his bank account.That weekend, Amelie was sending Bria home when Julia called and said she was about to arrive in Halport before inviting them to a meal. Since Julia still needed some time to arrive, Amelie brought Bria to the restaurant first.When they arrived at the restaurant’s entrance, a group of people happened to come out. One of them spotted Amelie and paused before calling out for her, “Elie.”When she looked over, she saw a man in a buzz cut with a briefcase in his hand. She was stunned and took a while before recognizing the man. “Matthew Larkson?”Matthew was the richest man from her hometown and used to pursue her, so it came as a surprise to run into
