When I Was a Wallflower (Leo and Amelie)

Chapter 390 There Is Something Wrong With Chandler

As Chandler listened to his phone, he smiled wickedly. How ruthless of Leo to kick his own sister out of

the house!

Although Chandler had thought about it, his voice was still filled with worry as he spoke to Melissa. "Did

Leo actually do that, Mrs. Alston? Isn't he being unreasonable about it? After all, Jojo is his sister."

"I know. Moreover, Jojo plotted against that woman for his sake. She tries to help him. Oh, Chandler,

what should I do? I would rather die than watch them drift apart!" Melissa felt bitter, but she couldn't tell

her inner thoughts to anyone except Chandler.

"Calm down, Mrs. Alston. Don't overthink it." Chandler pretended to be worried and comforted her.

"Jojo was crying her eyes out when she left. I was heartbroken when I saw her in such a state. Can you

talk to Leo for me, Chandler?" Melissa cried out.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Alston. Even if Leo hates me, I will still try to talk to him about it." Chandler promised

the lady, and only then did Melissa hang up the phone while still crying.

As soon as the call ended, Chandler stopped keeping up the act of the nice guy and had an

intimidating presence. He fiddled with his phone as he smirked wickedly.

"This is getting interesting." As he spoke, he looked at the group photo in the room. Then, he grazed

across the picture and flicked his fingers at Melissa's figure in the photo. "When Leo returned to the

family, you had kicked me away and left me to die alone. How dare you try to rely on me now? I wonder

if you are daring or stupid to do this!" After some time, he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Get me some men for tonight. Miss Jodie is going abroad, and I would like to give her a surprise."

Just as he hung up, the doorbell rang. He drank the wine in one shot and propped one of his hands on

the couch while taking the remote control. While using it to open the door lock, he said, "Come on in."

Then, he wiped the wine stain on his lips and looked over with an amused smile.

When he saw who had entered the room, his smile stiffened.

Chandler was stunned momentarily before dismissing the act of a playboy. Then, he quickly ran toward

the person like a dog who saw its master. "Leo? Why are you here?" His face was filled with excitement

as he spoke, seemingly as if he was happy that Leo had come to see him.

"You came just in time. Hey…" Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He

was being manhandled. Veins were bulging on Chandler's head as he was forced to bend. "Let go of

me, Leo. What are you doing? It hurts." Chandler looked at Leo with a pained expression, and his tone

was pitiful.

At that moment, Leo entered the room with a stoic expression. As he watched the bodyguard holding

Chandler down, his eyes were cold. He stood before Chandler and leaned forward, lips against his ear.

"I know every single thing you have done. I didn't hurt you because I know my family wronged you."

Then, he put his hand on Chandler's shoulder and gripped it tightly. "However, my patience is limited,

Chandler. I'll let you off this time, but there won't be a next time!" Then, he pushed him away.

Chandler's body went toward the couch, and his face crashed against it. Pain surged toward his body.

After Leo had finished his words, he turned around and left.

When Chandler regained his senses, he was the only one left in the room with an open door. "F*ck!"

Viciousness flashed across his eyes, and he kicked the table. At that moment, bottles and glasses fell

onto the ground, shattering into pieces.

Hatred and disheartenment filled Chandler's heart.

"Where did it go wrong?" Although Leo had said nothing about him using Jodie to hurt Amelie,

Chandler knew that Leo had already found out that it was him! He is smarter than I imagined, thought

Chandler.

"Ah!"

At this moment, as the glasses crashed, a woman's shriek sounded by the door.

Hearing the voice, Chandler looked up and saw a woman, who only wore little clothes, covering her

mouth as she stood by the door. "Get over here!" He ordered her while pulling away his tie in

annoyance.

Although the woman was frightened, she still slowly approached him.

Bang!

The door shut itself.

"Ah!" The woman screamed again as her shoulder was being grabbed.

After two hours, Chandler was a mess. As he wore his tie, he cursed while kicking the woman, who

was lying on the ground lifelessly. "F*ck sake!" Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Come over here and take away the body!"

When Leo walked down the stairs, Eugene had already sent Jodie abroad and was waiting by the car.

When Eugene saw him, he immediately opened the car door while the driver quickly returned to his

seat.

After Leo had entered the vehicle, Eugene followed suit, and the driver raised the partition.

Eugene briefly talked about Jodie's matter and looked back at Chandler's place with a worried

expression. "There is something off about Chandler. Will your warning work on him?"

Leo pursed his lips and said nothing.

Hearing no response, Eugene looked at Leo in silence. He also knew what Chandler had gone through

in the past.

Chandler didn't choose to live at the Alston Residence, but the Alston Family gave him the inheritance.

For an orphan to gain so many things, Chandler was grateful for the Alston Family. However, as soon

as Leo returned, he was sent away without any notice. Melissa's decision was ruthless. Although it was

told to the public that Chandler was sent away, it was just a cover-up. To Melissa, Chandler's existence

was a humiliation, and she wished he never returned. Thus, after Chandler was sent abroad, Melissa

left him, not caring about his life and death. Hence, one could only imagine how hard Chandler's life

was. However, Eugene felt it was absurd that Melissa's karma had fallen upon her children to take the

consequences.

While Eugene was in thought, Leo tapped on the seat lightly and rubbed his temples. "How's Elie

doing?"

"She's fine." With how smart Amelie was, no one would be able to harm her that easily.

"Her job isn't affected. Instead, she gained many followers, and the platform's reputation rose. One

could say that this was a free advertisement for her," Eugene added.

Hearing his words, Leo smiled.

Eugene had a thoughtful expression when he saw the smile on Leo's face. For all these years, Leo

only looked humane when the topic of Amelie and Bria was brought up. Just as he was in thought,

Leo's deep voice sounded. "Get someone reliable to protect Jojo." At that moment, Eugene was

momentarily stunned before understanding what he meant. "Yes."

Although Leo might look cold on the outside, he actually cared about others on the inside.

…

Although what happened on the Internet was solved, Amelie still took another two days off to spend

time with Bria and Steven. Steven was upset when he knew what his precious daughter had gone

through. He had been looking grumpy all day.

When Amelie realized that she couldn't do anything, she quickly gave a look to Bria. Immediately, Bria

understood and quickly approached Steven, asking him to carry her.

No matter how stern Steven was, he couldn't ignore Bria. Thus, he bent down and carried her up.

At that moment, Bria reached out and hung on the older man, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Smile, Grandpa. Mama will be sad if you don't smile." As she spoke, she released her arms by his

neck and stretched his lips, forcing him to smile.

Steven couldn't help but laugh at her actions. "Okay. I'll smile." He nodded.

"That's right." Amelie took the initiative to scoot closer and put her head on Steven's shoulder.

Steven wasn't really mad at Amelie. He was just upset that he couldn't do anything to help her when

she was in trouble. Seeing that she was snuggling against him, he didn't feel bitter anymore as he

patted her shoulder adoringly. At that moment, Bria and Amelie exchanged glances and smiled silently.

"Wait here with Bria, Dad. I'll boil water for you to make tea," said Amelie as she raised the bucket in

her hand and pointed not far away.

Steven was fond of drinking tea and always got the water from here. Since this place was near the

mountains, there was a mountain spring. Many people would go there and get water.

When Amelie went over the mountain spring, people were lining up to fetch the water. Just as she was

about to get in line, she heard a scream. "A dead person! Someone died here!"

At that moment, Amelie looked over and saw a woman covering her mouth with a horrified expression.

She was so shocked that she took a few steps back and fell to the ground. Among the grass that the

woman had fallen upon, there was a face.

When Amelie saw who it was, she took a sharp breath.
