When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Her heart was filled with hatred. Oh, how she wished she could tear Amelie to pieces! Unfortunately,

they were at the hospital. There were too many eyes and ears around. If others were to see her

unsightly appearance, it would only affect her negatively.

After she mulled over her options, she forcefully suppressed the hatred in her heart. Then, she turned

around and stomped away in her high heels.

Not far from where the two women had stood earlier, Leo stood with eyes resembling a pool of ice. A

faint trace of emotion appeared on his stern and unwavering yet handsome face.

He had arranged for the meeting to be held in the hospital. When he received the phone call from

Amelie earlier, he had been in the meeting room that the hospital staff had specially prepared for him in

the hospital. After their phone call ended, he hastily dismissed the meeting early and even went out of

his way to meet her. Eventually, he was greeted with this scene instead.

Although he initially wanted to step forward and help her, their quarrel ended before he could move.

She also left the scene almost immediately.

Nevertheless, these were not the points that he had fixated upon. Instead, what bothered him the most

were the words she uttered at the end. What did she mean? Why did she say that we’re even?

Those words sounded highly unsettling. They were also very puzzling to the ears.

When did she help me? It did not take long for him to recall how she had pushed him out of danger the

other day. Was she referring to that incident when she said that we’re even? If that was the case, then

why didn’t she mention anything when I asked her to treat me to dinner the other day?

He practically drowned in confusion for a time. Then, he suddenly received a phone call. He pushed his

musings aside and turned around to answer the phone. Eugene’s voice came from the other end of the

phone. “I’ve already made the necessary arrangements. The revenge you wanted will begin

immediately.”

“Okay.” Even though he knew exactly what the so-called ‘revenge’ entailed, the look in his eyes

remained unchanged.

…

Elyse walked over in her high heels, holding a small platinum bag in her hands. Her complexion was

very poor. Moreover, despite the long journey, her distorted facial features still could not return to

normal. Instead, her facial muscles felt stiff and rigid in her anger.

Her assistant hurriedly ran over when she saw her in such a terrible state. “What’s wrong, Miss Elyse?”

She smacked her assistant’s hand away in anger. There was a refusal to admit defeat burning in her

heart. Not to mention, her rage grew steadily the longer she considered the matter.

“Wait for me in the car!” she coldly instructed. After that, she wore a hat and a pair of sunglasses

before she slipped into a lonely alley nearby.

Her assistant had long since gotten accustomed to how Elyse acted like the perfect woman in front of

others but displayed an unpredictable temperament in private. So, her assistant gave her some space

and entered the car alone upon hearing her instructions.

After Elyse entered the alley, she hugged her bag close to her body and furtively looked around until

she confirmed that there were no passersby. Only then did she bring out her phone and dial a number.

“Help me with something. Get rid of Amelie!”

“Wow! You’re really ruthless.” The voice on the other end of the phone was playful yet sinister. “A

woman with a beautiful appearance but a poisonous nature. How terrifying.”

His insults caused her facial features to distort further. The twitching of her facial muscles nearly made

her curse out loud. Nevertheless, she knew that now was not the time for burning bridges.

“As long as you help me, I will help you!”

“What concerns me right now is not the issue of whether you can even help me with anything. On the

contrary, I’m curious about how she offended you this time. Did she dig up your grave? Did she

humiliate you in public? Oh! Could it be that she snatched your beloved Leo away from you?”

The words of the person on the other end of the phone grew increasingly harsh and insulting. At the

same time, her expression was becoming increasingly manic.

“Are you going to help me or not?” she shrieked in rage.

The other party responded contemptuously, “Of course, I want to help you. Unfortunately, the current

situation does not allow me to do so. Leo will never let me walk free if I get rid of her. Say, Elyse…

You’re such a loser. You clearly had such a good hand, so how did you play so badly? In contrast,

Amelie lost… Well, she lost almost everything because of you. And yet, she can catch his attention and

favor even without relying on her relationship with Leo. Tell me, does that count as retribution?”

“Bast*rd!” The man’s words completely enraged her. She could not bear to listen to his insults any

longer and ended the call in a huff.

“Damn it! Damn it!” She let out a string of expletives, but none of that could alleviate the fury raging in

her heart.

Unable to control her emotions, she threw her phone to the ground. That was not all. She even

stomped on her phone with her feet. It was not until her phone was in little pieces that she stumbled out

of the alley.

I’m sure I can find somebody willing to deal with Amelie! That person’s words sliced through her mind

like a sharp blade, causing her heart to ache in sorrow.

I’m going to find somebody who will ruin Amelie! I want to see what Leo will do once Amelie is

completely destroyed!

She was so focused on her revenge that she failed to notice the people entering the alley. By the time

she noticed their presence, they were already standing right in front of her.

“Who are you?” She sharply questioned them. Although she was in a panic, she forced herself to

remain calm.

Those people remained silent and ignored her questions.

She quickly noticed that something was amiss as she turned to flee.

One of them swiftly reached out a hand and grabbed her, covering her mouth…
