A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 35

The woman, who had been hiding herself in the bed, suddenly climbed up to the windows. At that moment, she was sitting by the edge of the window with one of her legs dangling outside. She was going to fall anytime soon! When that happened, Julia was petrified by the scene and didn’t react, while Jamie was quick to respond.

As soon as he noticed it, he darted toward the window. However, the woman was weeping while avoiding Jamie’s touch. Whenever he stepped forward and wanted to pull her in, she dodged his attempts and leaned even further out the window. She was in danger! Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing the scene, Amelie tried to calm herself and said to Jamie, “Come back, Jamie.”

When Jamie heard her words, he looked at the woman unsettlingly, but Amelie shook her head. After all, the woman would only be hyperventilating if he was around. Thus, Jamie could only back away and surrender.

Then, Amelie walked toward the woman, standing a few feet away from her. “What’s wrong? What happened to you?” she asked.

“I know everything, and it’s all my fault. Because of me, Jamie might not be able to live stream again, and I’m guilty of it. Thus, there’s no reason for me to live anymore.” The woman sobbed.

“This has nothing to do with you. Hurry up and come down,” said Amelie.

However, the woman just shook her head vigorously and replied, “Don’t try to comfort me anymore. I’m the one who caused all of this.”

When Julia saw how stubborn the woman was in front of her, she couldn’t help but scold, “Do you think that death will solve everything? If you die, you will create more trouble for Jamie. When that happens,

what is he going to do?”

When the woman heard her scolding, she didn’t know what to do and cried even harder. Her whole body was trembling, and she looked like she would be blown away if a strong wind occurred.

Seeing that things had worsened, Amelie felt a headache coming on. She then said, “You need to think this through. This is the tenth floor, and if you fall from this height, your bone will shatter into pieces, and the police will not be able to find every part of it. As for your face… You won’t have it anymore. After all, your face will be covered in blood and bits of the brain as you are being sent to the mortuary. When that happens, not even your mom will recognize you.”

Hearing her words, the woman stiffened, and she reached toward her face.

I’m a young woman. How can I accept this fatal and horrifying death? she thought.

Just as she was lost in thought, Amelie sprinted toward her and grabbed her by the waist, pulling her away from the window. With the help of Jamie and Julia, the woman was dragged toward a safe place. After comforting her for some time, the woman was ushered away by Julia’s men while rubbing her puffy eyes.

At that moment, the trio was left in the room.

Jamie grabbed his hair in frustration since he was feeling upset. After all, he had just been taking a bath when the woman suddenly appeared in his room. The worst part was that Leo had caught him.

While he was immersed in his own thoughts, Amelie walked toward him and patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll think of something. I promise that it won’t affect you.”

“It’s fine, Amelie. I hate being set up by people. Leo won’t have his way if he wants to force you by setting me up. I was just getting bored of becoming a live streamer, and going home to inherit billions

doesn’t sound like a bad idea!” responded Jamie.

Jamie came from a good background. However, he had some issues with his family and refused to run the family business because of his laid-back personality. Even so, he was doing well as a live streamer.

When Amelie heard his words, she knew that he was lying. So, she said, “Stop with this nonsense! Have you forgotten that my company has to rely on you? What will I do if you’re gone?”

With Jamie’s skill of doing live commerce, the money he earned was almost equivalent to the money he would inherit back home. After all, a live streamer who was good at live commerce could surpass a certain industry’s annual sales income within minutes.

“Don’t you worry, for I have already settled this with Leo. All you have to do is to continue what you are doing and stop overthinking,” said Amelie.

When Jamie heard her words, he looked at her with concern and said, “You didn’t agree to any unfair treaty, right?”

“No,” she replied.

Before Jamie could ask any more questions, Amelie had already gotten someone to change his room. “Rest well and bring in more profit for me!” Amelie joked.

Jamie would usually tease her, but he was not in the mood today. Hence, he only nodded and left the place.

As soon as Amelie and Julia were left in the room, Julia asked hurriedly, “Did you really solve this matter?”

However, unlike before, Amelie shook her head since she didn’t have to hide anything from Julia.

“What are we going to do, then? What else can’t Leo do when he has already thought of this tactic?” asked Julia.

“Don’t worry.” Amelie gave her a reassuring look. “Although I can’t solve this matter, I know someone who can.” After all, if she guessed it correctly, the figure that she had seen by the corridor was Elyse, and the latter. would know what was best for her if she was smart enough.

The duo talked for a while and were concerned that someone would have seen the woman and spread rumors about the situation. Thus, Julia decided to stay at the hotel for a night.

With that, Amelie walked out of the room alone. While she was by the elevator, she saw a figure appear. Although the person was covered in black, Amelie still could tell that it was Elyse as soon as she set her eyes on her.

Elyse entered the elevator with Amelie and only spoke when the door was shut. “Can we talk, Miss Dillion?”

“Sure.”

They then headed down, and Elyse brought Amelie to a dark and empty corner. After arriving at the place, she turned around and took off her glasses, showing her beautiful face. “I have already settled tonight’s matter for you, Miss Dillon. When Leo saw that I was begging forgiveness for you, he decided to call it off as usual,” said Elyse

Just as expected, Amelie had anticipated Elyse to say those exact words.

After Elyse was done speaking, she kept quiet and stared at Amelie. Her lips showed a hint of superiority, and she looked at Amelie with an unmindful attitude. However, she didn’t see Amelie’s

surprised or grateful expression as she expected. On the contrary, Amelie merely hummed in response.

Seeing her reaction, Elyse sneered. Just as expected from a person from a rural place-she doesn’t even know how to thank me after I helped her with this mess, thought Elyse.

There was no way that she would have asked Amelie for gratitude since she thought highly of herself. As such, she just turned around and left. After taking a few steps forward, she halted and said, “By the way, I hope that you will not show yourself in front of Leo again since he has a bad temper.”

Hearing her words, Amelie snorted in disdain and thought, From the moment I divorced him, I already cut him out of my life. Hence, why would I want to show myself to him again? When she heard Elyse’s words, she knew the latter was waiting for her gratitude.

However, she didn’t feel the need to say so. The reason was that if she hadn’t said those words, Elyse would have been kicked out of the company miserably even though her intention was to help Leo at that time. Thus, Elyse owed her thanks as well.

Plus, Elyse was helping herself and not Amelie by being willing to say good things for her in front of Leo. After all, she could only live comfortably and happily once Leo cut ties with her and Bria.

Not long after Elyse left, Amelie’s phone rang. It was Bria, and she was worried about Amelie since the latter wasn’t home yet at such a late hour.

“I’m coming back home right now,” responded Amelie as she comforted her. Just as she finished her words, someone grabbed her by the arm all of a sudden, and she was dragged into the dark.
