When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Meanwhile, Amelie believed Steven knew what he was doing when he chose not to get physical with

Melissa. Judging from that, she wasn’t worried that her father had lost his rational mind.

At the same time, Steven kept questioning Melissa harshly with his deafening voice, showing no signs of

going easy on the lady who tried to take advantage of his daughter. On the other hand, Melissa was so

frightened that

Seeing Melissa’s helpless look for the first time, Amelie couldn’t help but find the sight of that satisfying.

After all, Melissa had always treated her less than she deserved, having arranged a small room beside

the garage for her when even the maids were given rooms on the same floor as their masters.

Even the maids received better treatment than me. Soon, she recalled the fact that she was always

stopped from seeing Leo every time he returned home, thinking Melissa was responsible for that in

hindsight.

It’s all thanks to you, Melissa. You’re a big reason why Leo and I still felt like strangers to each other

despite the four years we spent together. Amelie was disgusted by the thought of Melissa’s hypocrisy,

feeling sick about her unkind nature beneath her kind pretense in front of others. However, although she

found Melissa’s situation ironic, she felt a stab of pain in her heart for making her father worry even as an

adult.

“Aren’t you going to do something to stop your father, Amelie? If you get on the wrong side of the Alston

Family, it won’t end well for you.” Amelie heard Melissa’s voice just when her eyes began to swell with

tears.

“That’s enough, Dad.” Amelie snapped out of her trance and restrained Steven.

Steven looked back at his daughter, his reddened eyes filled with tears. “Now that you’ve divorced Leo,

there is no reason for you to fear them anymore. I’ll always have your back!” Deep down, Steven blamed

himself for Amelie’s misery, thinking he could have avoided that if he had interfered with his daughter’s

marriage soon enough. Because of that, he wanted to make it up to her.

Upon hearing her father’s words, Amelie could barely fight back her tears as she wrapped her arms

around him. “Enough, Dad. You’ve done plenty for me. I’m so touched and happy that you’re always by

my side, but you need to stop doing this; you’ll only make me feel useless.”

Steven then paused and wiped the sweat and tears off his face. While he could give up the whole world

if he had to, his daughter’s feelings were the only thing he cared about the most.

When Melissa saw Steven stop, she heaved a sigh of relief. Even though Steven hadn’t laid a finger on

her, she was still too frightened to respond. She would have collapsed onto the ground if she hadn’t

gotten a hold of the

table.

At the thought of that, she glared at Amelie, who stared back at her as she uttered, “Mrs. Alston, the only

reason I stopped my father from pressing on is not that we’re scared of the Alstons, but we don’t want to

have anything to do with you all. As you said, Leo and I are divorced, so we should have nothing to do

with each other anymore. For that, consider this your lesson learned and remember that we, the Dillons,

are no pushovers you think you can just take advantage of. If you insist on asking for more trouble,

hitting the table with a ladle is going to be the least of your worries.” Amelie kept her eyes fixed on

Melissa.

At that moment, it finally dawned on Melissa what Amelie was capable of as she shivered uncontrollably

from head to toe. At the same time, it was her first time noticing the intimidating aura that filled Amelie’s

eyes. Unlike Amelie’s submissive nature from before, her current tough attitude even made Melissa

doubt herself for having barked up the wrong tree.

“Mr. Walsh, please see Mrs. Alston out the door,” Amelie said to Toby, having grown tired of talking to the

Toby nodded and walked up to Melissa. “Mrs. Alston, this way, please.”

Melissa responded with a cold grunt and walked out the door, but since she was still haunted by Steven’s

outburst, she staggered and struggled to get her footing right. Because of that, Toby was forced to give

her a hand and helped her walk.

As soon as the duo disappeared out of the door, Amelie let go of Steven and took the ladle that went out

of shape from his hand, gently patting his back. “Take it easy, Dad. There is no need to get so worked up

over a woman like her. Your health is more important.”

Steven sniggered, feeling sympathetic for his daughter even though he didn’t show that through his facial

expressions. He then tilted his head and uttered, “I will not go easy on anyone who bullies my daughter!”

“Alright, no one can bully your daughter now,” Amelie comforted Steven.

However, Steven still seemed worried, knitting his eyebrows like he had something he wanted to get off

his chest. In the end, he decided to speak his mind. “Elie, what’s going on between you and Starlight

Media’s boss? If he cares about you, he should stop acting mysteriously and show himself! I won’t agree

with your relationship if he keeps acting like this!”

Steven only just learned about the affairs between Amelie and Starlight Media’s boss, feeling worried

instead as he was afraid that the mysterious man was worse than Leo. After all, while he knew whom

Amelie married back then by recognizing Leo’s face, he had no idea whom his daughter was dating now.

Upon hearing Steven’s question, Amelie realized that she hadn’t told her father about the matter,

sniggering as she went on to explain it.

Meanwhile, Leo was sitting in the center amidst a meeting at Genesis Company, keeping his face slightly

down while listening to the monthly report from the representatives of every department.

At the same time, his face seemed emotionless and stern. His eyes were filled with a cold aura, and it

was enough to fill the meeting room with an intense vibe, making everyone restless as they sat in their

seats. While the person presenting carefully delivered his speech, the door suddenly swung open as

someone interrupted the

meeting.
