When I Was A Wallflower

Chapter 320 Huge News About Amelie

Even though Amelie had agreed to pose as Toby's lover and acknowledged his ideas, she didn't have the slightest intention of lying to Leo.

She found it a little too deliberate. However, from tonight's events, she felt that maintaining a distance was the best option.

Melissa rubbed her temples in annoyance. She felt that if she kept losing sleep like this, her painstakingly maintained skin would wither and age.
