Chapter 93: My Sugar And Your Spice Chapter 93

Chapter 93 Never Forgotten a Word He Said The woman wore a relatively simple outfit with no decorative components or any valuable jewelry. Her neck and arms were bare, and she merely donned a pair of casual high-heeled sandals. However, such simplicity perfectly highlighted her fair skin and exceptional facial features.

Along with her long hair draped behind her back, she looked like a beautiful goddess from the heavens.

Her beauty easily defeated every woman at the scene and made the exquisitely dressed-up Elyse look tacky.

“Who’s that?” The crowd focused on the woman and began their guesses.

When Elyse saw the duo, she froze on stage while her smile stiffened into a rictus.

Laura, on the other hand, looked like she had seen a ghost and turned to look at Elyse, whose body shook before she instinctively glanced at Leo.

He stared fixedly at the red figure with tightly knitted eyebrows. “Isn’t that Amelie?”

Finally, someone from the crowd recognized her.

“Oh my gosh! What a drastic change.”

“That’s a different person.”

Everyone could not help but be shocked as they began associating that lady with the quiet, invisible woman from the Alston Family.

After recognizing her, the crowd stared at the trio with meaningful gazes.

A person piped up, “This scene… feels like a déjà vu from four years ago.”

No further explanation was needed as everyone in the crowd knew about the incident from four years ago. It was where Elyse was accused of cheating, and the three publicly confronted each other.

When everyone recalled that scene, their expressions became even more intriguing.

On the other hand, Elyse suddenly felt dizzy after hearing those words. I thought Amelie wouldn’t have the guts to appear in public, but she came… Plus, her appearance has reminded everyone of my cheating incident from four years ago! Damn it!

Her face appeared ashen, and her legs felt like jelly. However, she could not find the courage to speak.

Noticing the public’s gaze, she felt her heart dip as if she was falling into her doom. The more arrogant and prouder she had been, the more humiliated she felt now!

When Ashton returned and saw Amelie standing at the entrance, he yelled, “What are you doing here?

You’re not welcome here, so scram!”

No matter how much he screamed, Amelie acted like she did not hear him and completely ignored him.

Instead, she looked at Elyse with a faint smile, causing the panicking lady to shiver.

“Miss Dillon, don’t you think it’s rude to crash someone’s party?” Laura spoke up for Elyse.

Not having any other tricks up her sleeves, Elyse swayed and fell into Leo’s arms.

“Leony.” She tugged on his sleeve pitifully, acting weak and vulnerable.

He helped her to her feet and finally spoke, “Ashton, please see Miss Dillon and Miss White out the door!”

Ashton had wanted to kick them out long ago, and Leo’s words permitted him to do so. With a wave of his hand, he called for security. “Throw them out!”

Moments later, the security guards arrived and reached for Amelie’s arm.

However, she merely raised her palm slightly, and the security guards were so stunned that they froze because of her strong demeanor.

The beautiful yet domineering woman rendered them at a loss for what to do.

“Miss Clayton, don’t you have something to say?” Julia questioned while looking at Elyse on the stage.

Meanwhile, Elyse pitifully clutched onto Leo’s shirt with her eyes closed as if she was overwhelmed by the situation. Glaring at the two women, Leo asked, “Amelie, have you forgotten what I’ve said?”

“Of course not,” she replied in a clear voice while looking at him calmly.

Back then, it would be heartbreaking for her to witness his protectiveness over Elyse, yet now, she found it hilarious.

“You mentioned Miss Clayton is the person you’ll protect with your life.” The words that came out of her lips were crisp and clear without the slightest hint of jealousy.

“But what does that have to do with us?” Julia added.

“Of course, it does. It’s Elyse’s birthday today, but you two ruined the party! Mr. Alston will never forgive you for that!” Laura bellowed.

On the other hand, Ashton wanted to make a move himself upon noticing that the guards had been motionless, so he reached over to grab Amelie.

Suddenly, a hand enveloped his wrist, prompting him to turn around and see a tall, muscular man.

The man seemed familiar, but Ashton could not figure out who he was.

It was Samuel.

He did not speak a word and merely held Ashton’s hand, rendering him unable to touch the two women.

Smiling happily, Julia winked at Samuel.

“She’s right. You guys have gone overboard!” someone from the crowd piped up after witnessing Amelie and Julia’s refusal to leave as well as Ashton’s treatment.

“Your marriage is over! Stop dragging it out and causing trouble!”

“Amelie, don’t you feel any shame?”

Those affiliated with Elyse screamed out those retorts.

As if she did not hear any of that, Amelie remained silent. She wanted Elyse to admit that she had invited them here.

Yet, Elyse knew exactly what Amelie wanted. She was filled with so much hatred for Amelie that she stubbornly clenched her fists. Why should I act according to that woman’s plan?

While gritting her teeth, she felt her feet go soft and closed her eyes before slipping onto the ground.

Time to play dead!

“Elyse!” Leo was so easily fooled that he anxiously picked her up and ran down the stage.

When he arrived before Amelie, he gave her a death stare.

Subsequently, Julia glanced at Elyse. “If Miss Clayton insists on leaving… About the cornea…”

As soon as the ‘unconscious’ Elyse heard that, she could not pretend any longer and immediately ‘woke up’. Tugging on Leo’s sleeve, she stammered, “Leony, I’m okay. Don’t be mad. Actually… I invited… Miss Dillion and Miss White.”

The crowd sneered upon hearing that. What the heck? The expected confrontation to win back an old lover was an act of provocation from the current lover. Interesting!

“Elyse!” Ashton was not expecting her to blurt out the truth and yelled in shock.

Speechless, Leo looked at Elyse as if she was a stranger, and she could see the deep disappointment in his eyes. She felt her heart skip a beat and made a spontaneous excuse. “Actually… I wanted to befriend Miss Dillion. Although you guys have separated, there’s no need to hate each other, right? So, I—”

“It was just a kind gesture, right?” Julia sarcastically finished Elyse’s words for her. “If that’s true, why didn’t you say anything when everyone was trying to kick us out earlier?”

“That’s because…” Elyse’s face turned pale again.

“Are you sincerely trying to be nice to us, or are you trying to humiliate us?” Julia was born with a sharp tongue, so her words were deadly.

Hearing that, Elyse flushed red as she felt too embarrassed to face everyone. She shivered while standing there, wanting the ground to swallow her up!

“Let’s go.” Amelie merely wanted to show up. Now that she had, she raised her chin and signaled Julia.

Clapping her hands, Julia averted her gaze at Leo. “Mr. Alston, you’ve got great taste in women.” Her eyes were fixed on Elyse while she spoke with a thumbs up, clearly mocking him!

Once she was done, she left with Amelie.

Elyse rolled her eyes, wanting to rip those two into pieces! Soon, her eyes flashed with a dark light as she asked, “What’s the rush? Why not join the fun?”
