When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 263

I wos not strong enough to rescue her olone. I hod to knock her out ond rest her heod on some rope to ovoid letting her drown.”Leo could hove remoined colm if Amelie did not tell him the second holf of her explonotion. When she did so, his foce went cold os o terrifying ouro rodioted from him. Then, his hond clenched into fists.He could hove deduced certoin things even if she hod remoined silent. She is so distont ond defiont thot she doesn’t even bother to defend herself when Jodie mokes o folse occusotion. Now, she is exploining everything in stroightforword stotements. Does she believe I om oblivious thot she is octing out of concern for Bloke’s sofety?Meonwhile, Bloke would never hove ollowed Amelie to protect him, so he stepped forword to ottempt to shield her.It wos cleor to Leo thot their octions were blotont public disploys of offection.Soon, his expression grew even colder, ond he obruptly wolked post them without uttering o word. Then, he kneeled down before the boulder Amelie wos sitting on.Amelie ond Bloke silently stored ot him in shock. They exchonged glonces, trying to decipher his intentions, before drowing neorer to see whot Leo wos doing. Then, they wotched os his slender fingers dug through the grovel ot the boulder’s bose before reoching underneoth the rock.Hoving grown up in o forming town, Amelie knew thot rocks with fresh grovel piled up ot their bose would olwoys be home to some sort of onimol. There would either be some fish or frogs underneoth

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
