Chapter 76

Landmines

When Amelie arrived at the airport, it was 8.00AM, which was 30 minutes before boarding time. She
looked down to get her flight ticket and other important documents.

“I’ll help you with it.” Just then, someone came over and picked up the small suitcase beside her.

Amelie looked up and saw Toby, who had a face that seemed to be straight out of a historical drama. At
this moment, he was smiling at her with a joyful expression.

“Why are you here, Mr. Walsh?” There was a hint of surprise on Amelie’s beautiful face. A while back,
they had agreed that she would be looking for Owen on her own.

Toby gently swung the suitcase in his hand. “As the person in charge of this project, I can’t possibly be
absent.” In other words, he was coming along.

“There’s no need for that.” Amelie was a straightforward person. “At least for now. I’m just going to test
the waters, and I’m not even confident that I can persuade Mr. Steward. You’ll only waste your time by
coming with me.”

Toby wanted to say that he didn’t mind wasting time for her, but when he saw her serious expression,
he gulped down his words. “I’m not particularly busy now anyway, so I can go there and look around.”

Hearing that, Amelie stopped dissuading him. They then boarded the plane headed toward Skaynia.
Because Skaynia was still on the same continent, the plane landed at Skaynia’s busiest airport two
hours later.

As they walked out of the airport along with the crowd, skyscrapers in the distance came into their
sight. They could see how developed the country was from where it stood. There was no denying it
was a world-class country.



It wasn’t the first time Amelie visited Skaynia, but she still couldn’t help but be awed by how clean and
prosperous the country was.

She didn’t go looking for Owen immediately. Instead, she went to a famous church and prayed
sincerely. After that, she got herself an amulet, which she carefully kept inside her bag before walking
out of the church.

Toby had been following her all this while. Seeing how devoted she was, he couldn’t help smiling softly.
“I never took her for the religious kind.” He looked at her bag where the amulet was kept.

Amelie replied with a smile, “It’s for Mr. Steward.”

Hearing that, Toby was surprised, for it never crossed his mind that she would get an amulet for Owen.
Without explaining anything, Amelie told him to check into a hotel. Meanwhile, she headed to the
Steward Residence on her own.

Toby knew that Owen wasn’t fond of businesspeople from Capland, so he didn’t tag along.

The Steward Residence was located in the center of Skaynia, which was a small and expensive
country. As such, it must’ve been costly to build some villas in the city center. Naturally, only the
wealthiest people could afford to buy properties in the location.

When Amelie arrived at the gate, she expressed her intention of seeing Owen. The security guard
asked for her name and passed on her message. Then, he said, “Please wait a minute, Miss Dillon.”

Amelie dipped her head. When she saw there was a gazebo nearby, she decided to get some rest
there. However, the instant she turned around, she saw a luxury car stopping several feet from her.

After the car doors opened, a man and a woman got out from different sides. The woman had a curvy
figure and an elegant bearing. There was a demure smile on her face. On the other hand, the man was



tall and well-built. With facial features that stood out, there was no denying he was handsome.

Elyse and Leo? Amelie felt that she must be extremely unlucky to come across them in such a place.

Elyse had wanted to walk over and wrap her arms around Leo’s neck, but Amelie’s presence caught
her off guard. Leo followed her gaze and saw Amelie as well. Instantly, his eyes darkened.

“Why are you here, Miss Dillon?” Elyse was the first to speak as she stepped forward.

With her back to Leo, she put on a faint smile. There was a hint of mockery behind her gaze. Although
she hadn’t gotten any reply from Amelie, she was certain that the woman had looked into their
schedule and followed them to this place. Her conceitedness was rather laughable.

Amelie didn’t intend to explain anything. Instead, she cocked her face and flashed an inscrutable smile
at her. “What’s wrong with me being here? Is this place yours or something, Miss Clayton?”

There was no doubt Elyse felt humiliated by the other woman’s arrogance. She almost couldn’t hold up
her pretense. Leo, who hadn’t uttered a word all this while, suddenly asked, “Don’t you think you’ve
crossed the line, Amelie?”

During the car racing event previously, he saw how Amelie picked on Elyse. He figured she did so
because she was mad at him, so she vented her fury on Elyse. As such, his face fell in an instant.

Amelie’s lips curved into a smile. “Have I?”

Initially, Leo thought that she would defend herself, but after he waited for a while, the woman still didn’t
utter a word. In fact, the instant Amelie was done speaking, she looked to the other side, pretending
that she didn’t know them.

Leo was rendered speechless. Something seemed to have gotten stuck in his chest. He couldn’t tell
what it was, but he just couldn’t get it off his chest.



When Elyse saw Amelie’s expression, she just thought that the woman was silenced by Leo’s stern
behavior. As such, she was gleeful. Despite that, she would never let her emotions show on her face,
for she had to behave elegantly.

She then moved past Amelie and arrived at the gatehouse. “Hi, I’m here for Mr. Steward. Can you
inform him about my arrival?”

When Amelie heard that they were there to see Owen, she frowned. What’s Leo trying to do? Didn’t he
already ask me to help him with this matter? Why has he come all the way here with Elyse now?

When Elyse was done speaking to the security guard, she returned and said to Leo, “Don’t worry, Leo.
Mr. Steward has been investing heavily in the entertainment industry over the years, so he’s friendly to
the people in this field. I’m also on good terms with his wife. When we meet both of them, I’ll bring up
this matter. I’m sure Mr. Steward will give us a chance for his wife’s sake.”

She clasped her hands together and spoke in a sweet voice with a hint of coquettishness. Also, she
could barely conceal her confidence.

Only then did Amelie realize Elyse must’ve offered to help. However, Leo only grunted in response as
he was only in this place for work.

Elyse had tagged along using the reason that she was just visiting this country. Nevertheless, when
they arrived, she told him that she was on good terms with Owen’s wife.

Although Toby had found Foxy, Leo didn’t mind giving Elyse a chance when he saw her enthusiasm.

When Amelie saw him agreeing to it, she couldn’t help gasping in secret. She’s on good terms with
Mrs. Steward? Is Owen friendly to the people in the entertainment industry? The advantages she thinks
she has are all landmines. If she manages to get in, she’ll probably be taken to task.



Elyse had no idea what was on Amelie’s mind, but when she saw the woman staring at her, she
assumed the others were jealous of her connections. At the thought of this, she couldn’t help lifting her
chin.

So what if she’s good at car racing? It can’t help Leo’s business in any way! I have to let her know that
I’m the person that Leo needs the most!

Elyse had been traumatized by the car racing incident back then. After that, she could no longer ignore
Amelie. Therefore, she started competing with Amelie so that she could prove herself to Leo. On the
other hand, Amelie pursed her lips as if she wasn’t bothered by Elyse’s provocation. Although she
wasn’t willing to butt in on their affairs, this matter had something to do with Toby. As such, she didn’t
want him to be affected,

Therefore, Amelie decided to give them a heads-up, saying, “In actuality, Mr. Steward isn’t fond of
those in the entertainment industry, especially the actors. Also, if you manage to see him, don’t bring
up his wife.”

She didn’t tell them the reasons. The affairs between Owen and his wife were their private matters, so
she couldn’t tell anyone else about them. In fact, she wasn’t even confident that she would persuade
Owen. She had only decided to give them a heads-up so that they wouldn’t make mistakes.

However, Elyse thought that the woman was ill-intentioned. What did she mean when she said if I
managed to see Owen? Is she confident that I won’t get to see him? What does she think I am?

She was both resentful and furious in her heart. If not for Leo’s presence, she would’ve talked back. At
this moment, she could only suppress her fury, as she had to show the man her elegant self.

In the end, she put on a graceful smile. “Miss Dillon, I’m afraid you’re not familiar with worldly affairs
because you haven’t been traveling a lot, but it’s fine. If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll tell you more



about Mr. Steward. I’m sure you’ll understand what I’m talking about.” Despite her gentle tone, she
indicated that Amelie knew nothing at all.

Amelie smiled faintly without a hint of anger on her face. When Elyse saw that the woman was unfazed
while she had lost her cool, she felt irritated.

Just then, the butler of the Steward Residence walked out and headed to the gatehouse. “Open the
door and let her in.”

“Yes.” The security guard did as he was told.

Elyse was the first to go in, and Amelie followed closely behind her.

“Wait a minute. Why are there the two of you?” The butler adjusted his glasses and glanced at them.
