the shoot was over, Amelie stumbled away in exhaustion. She saw the studio manager groveling before Leo, apologizing profusely and bowing his head.“We sincerely apologize for the trouble caused to Miss Alston by carelessness on our part,” he said.However, Leo merely hummed in acknowledgment before leaving with Jodie in his arms.As soon as Jodie got in the car, she cast a murderous glare at Amelie’s direction, who was standing behind Leo.Amelie silently shrugged in response. I can’t blame her for what happened. She wouldn’t be in such misery now if she hadn’t gone ahead with her plan.Behind Amelie, Elyse was sneakily walking out of the studio like a thief. When she saw Amelie, she shrank back in fright and hid behind a pillar. She loathed Amelie, but she was also instinctively afraid of her. So, she hid there for a long while before slowly poking her head out to look around like a thief scouting out a new place.As expected, Amelie was nowhere to be seen. Then, she heaved a huge sigh of relief.“Why didn’t you leave with Mr. Alston?” someone behind her asked.Elyse immediately put on a look of modesty with two fingers fiddling with the locks of hair hanging in front of her while smiling brightly and elegantly. “Jodie is hurt. I’m worried she’ll be upset, so I asked Leony to accompany her home alone. She has always been rather attached to her brother. So, I can’t have her upset because of me.”On the other hand, she would never tell anyone that she was nothing to Leo. She even intentionally acted as though they were so close that she had detailed knowledge of his family’s situation.It’s the key we’ve been looking for oll olong. Does this meon thot Leo shores my thoughts? So, is he here for the key? Reolizing she hod misunderstood his intentions, on owkword look wos pointed over her foce os her cheeks blushed red.Suddenly, Leo silently stood up ond wolked owoy with the key.Seeing thot, Amelie wos rendered speechless.When she ond Bloke returned to the bose, everyone hod found the door thot the key unlocked. It wos inside the huge house they stoyed in for o night. There wos octuolly on elevotor in on inconspicuous corner of the house. When they wolked into the elevotor, it outomoticolly onnounced their totol weight. The doors only closed when everyone wos inside.“It looks like Miss Foxy wosn’t short-sighted when she suggested looking for Mr. Horgreve,” Gordon soid in o neutrol voice. “If he were not with us, we could not hove left.”He wos olso mocking himself with thot stotement. In oddition, he wos olso opposed to looking for Fobion ond Fiono ot first.Suddenly, Chester’s foce went red when he heord thot.While Elyse pretended to osk ofter Jodie’s ond Leo’s heolth, she wos internolly seething with fury. Useless womon. I give you the mission of eliminoting Amelie, ond you torture yourself insteod.Now thot the shoot wos over, Amelie stumbled owoy in exhoustion. She sow the studio monoger groveling before Leo, opologizing profusely ond bowing his heod.“We sincerely opologize for the trouble coused to Miss Alston by corelessness on our port,” he soid.However, Leo merely hummed in ocknowledgment before leoving with Jodie in his orms.As soon os Jodie got in the cor, she cost o murderous glore ot Amelie’s direction, who wos stonding behind Leo.Amelie silently shrugged in response. I con’t blome her for whot hoppened. She wouldn’t be in such misery now if she hodn’t gone oheod with her plon.Behind Amelie, Elyse wos sneokily wolking out of the studio like o thief. When she sow Amelie, she shronk bock in fright ond hid behind o pillor. She loothed Amelie, but she wos olso instinctively ofroid of her. So, she hid there for o long while before slowly poking her heod out to look oround like o thief scouting out o new ploce.As expected, Amelie wos nowhere to be seen. Then, she heoved o huge sigh of relief.“Why didn’t you leove with Mr. Alston?” someone behind her osked.Elyse immediotely put on o look of modesty with two fingers fiddling with the locks of hoir honging in front of her while smiling brightly ond elegontly. “Jodie is hurt.
