Chapter 96

Stop Her from Pestering You

“How can you still drink when Elyse is in the hospital? Don’t you know she’s in critical condition?”

The person who grabbed Leo’s wine glass was Ashton.

His face was filled with rage as he roared at Leo.

It was then that Leo looked up at Ashton and found his eyes were red. “She has suffered such a huge
trauma today, and not only did you abandon her, but you also went chasing after Amelie. That was a
humiliation to Elyse! She locked herself in her room for hours and was already unconscious when I
found her!”

Ashton choked on a sob while saying that last sentence.

Hearing that Elyse had fainted, Leo finally stood up. “Come on, let’s go.”

At the hospital, Elyse wore a hospital gown and was sitting on the bed, looking very frail.

She was staring blankly straight ahead.

It was until she heard the door open and saw Leo walking in that her eyes brightened up.

“I’m sorry, Leony.” She spoke weakly. “I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”

“It’s not even your fault! It was Amelie who started it!” Ashton spoke up for Elyse without caring who
was right and who was wrong.

While sobbing into her palms, Elyse continued, “No, it is my fault. I didn’t expect she would come over.
When I sent the invitation, I was only looking to tell her that we’re finally together and that she shouldn’t



pester you anymore. Leony, I know what I did was wrong, but I love you, and I don’t want her to come
between us.”

“Look how Elyse is haunted by guilt. Can you stand seeing her so sad?” Ashton’s eyes were filled with
rage as he gave Leo a death stare.

He believed every word she said.

“You can leave,” Leo calmly ordered.

Ashton wanted to stay but was pulled away by Laura.

Elyse leaned over and shakingly pulled on Leo’s shirt. “Leony, I didn’t know my good intentions would
embarrass you in public. I’m sorry.”

Tears streamed down as she kept apologizing, making her look so pitiful that no one could bear to say
harsh words to her.

Leo slowly sat in front of her and wiped her tears.

Seeing that he was still willing to interact with her, Elyse was secretly elated and grabbed his hands
before burying her face into his palms.

It seems like Leo has forgiven me, she thought.

“What’s the story about the contaminated blood when Amelie was delivering her baby?” Leo asked
suddenly.

Elyse was shocked and froze at that question. Her face stayed paused in Leo’s palm.

Leo withdrew his hand and looked at her.



“I have no idea.” She hurriedly explained, “She said those things because she misunderstood my
invitation as a provocation and wanted to lead everyone to think badly of me.”

If she had said this before Leo met Amelie, Leo might have believed her, but after seeing how hurtful
Amelie was just now, Leo found it impossible to believe that Amelie was making things up.

He placed his fingers on Elyse’s shoulders and asked in a deep voice, “Elyse, you should know that I
can find out anything I want.”

Taken back, Elyse frantically shook her head, saying, “Leony, I don’t know why you’re so sure I have
something to do with this, but I was still abroad back then and had no way of knowing she was
pregnant. Even if I did, do you think I have the means to do something to her?”

She lunged into his arms and cried. “I know I’ve done a lot of disappointing things lately, but you can’t
think so badly of me. The last thing I would do is hurt a child.”

Leo gently patted her back.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of if you did not do anything bad.”

Hearing those words, Elyse thought Leo had bought her words and quickly wiggled out of his embrace
before pitifully wiping her tears. “I’m not afraid but disappointed. How can you not trust me?”

Leo massaged his temples.

“Leony, I will try to change my ways,” she declared pitifully.

Leo nodded and took a while to coax her to sleep.

He tucked her in with a blanket before exiting the ward.



While standing outside the door, he was lost in thought for a moment before making a call. “Let’s meet
up.”

Toby didn’t stay with the Walshes and he usually stayed in his own apartment.

He was enjoying his wine with music when he saw Leo enter his apartment. “Why the sudden need to
meet me?” he asked with a smile.

Leo sat down opposite Toby.

Toby offered Leo a glass, but Leo declined. “I want you to help me investigate the blood poisoning
incident that happened during the day of Amelie’s labor.”

“Why did you suddenly think to investigate this matter?” The out-of-the-blue request intrigued Toby, and
a smile appeared on his elegant face.

As he wasn’t interested in attending Elyse’s birthday party, he didn’t show up and had no idea about
what had happened.

Leo hummed in response. “There are some things I would like to make sure of.”

“According to what I know, Ashton’s family is the best at these things. Why don’t you ask him?”

Leo didn’t answer but stared gloomily at Toby.

Knowing that Leo didn’t want to answer that, Toby didn’t probe further and sat upright before setting his
glass down. “Leo, why are you suddenly so interested in Amelie’s matters? Have you developed
feelings for her?”

“Don’t even go there,” Leo denied.

Smiling, Toby nodded. “Alright, I’ll help you find out what happened.”



…

After sending Bria to kindergarten, Amelie called Julia over to discuss the live-streaming project.

The target they had their eyes on was a batch of cross-industry live streamers.

“This guy, Kevin. Although he’s a rebar worker, he dances very well and is quite charming. We don’t
have to change any of his presentation styles. He can attract many viewers just by dancing in his work
clothes.” Amelie placed a picture before Julia.

Inside the photo was a young man with messy hair and plain clothes. There was nothing attractive
about him, but Julia didn’t doubt Amelie’s judgment and accepted the photo.

Although Amelie didn’t partake in managing the company, she made many important decisions.

She would find promising people from different platforms that weren’t popular due to various limitations
and persuade them to join the company.

Everyone Amelie picked would later become famous.

Julia then asked Amelie about the monetization channel.

Since they were doing live commerce, the live streamers had to do other things than sing and dance.

Moreover, people nowadays tended not to tip live streamers.

“His identity resonates well with his peers, so let’s not get him to do live commerce. Find some ongoing
construction projects and collaborate with them to incorporate recessive advertisement into his live
stream,” Amelie instructed decisively while tossing Julia the document with full details.

Julia scanned through the document and clicked her tongue.



“Don’t you think that only establishing just one entertainment company is a waste of your talent?”

“Don’t even think about it.” Amelie glanced at Julia. “What’s good about earning money? It’s just an
endless pursuit and isn’t challenging enough for me. I’m fine as long as I earn enough to get by.”

Julia was speechless. I wonder how many people will want to beat you up after hearing that.

After their discussion ended, Julia closed her book and remembered something. “Chris found me the
other day and said he would like another competition with you. What are your thoughts?”

“Chris Alston?” When Amelie heard that name, she remembered the upright young man with a cutting-
edge appearance.

He might be an Alston and might be prideful, but he didn’t look down on her like the others, so Amelie
had a good impression of him.

“Give him my number and ask him to arrange a time with me.”

“Sure.” Julia snapped her fingers.

Then, the two went downstairs together.

Julia got in her car and left while Amelie was about to head elsewhere.

Just as she pulled her car door open, another car approached her, and a man descended the car.
