A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 48

Abby didn’t understand what Amelie’s appearance had to do with Elyse’s decision to help her or not.
Even so, she tried her best to describe the lady’s appearance. Alas, she was good at causing trouble
but sucked at describing how people looked and had trouble doing so. She was so anxious that she
kept pinching her legs. Suddenly she recalled that Amelie had a daughter and exclaimed, “She has a
daughter who was around the age of three or four. Her name is Bria.”

“Bria?” Elyse’s heart sank when she realized that it turned out to be the Amelie that she knew of. She
was surprised that Amelie actually stayed there.

“Did she bring the child back by herself, or was she with another man?” Elyse asked again.

“Why would she be with another man when she was a broke divorcee?” Abby pursed her lips. “If she
did have a man, she wouldn’t be taking the house away from us.”

Elyse was even more confused after hearing that. After Amelie got a divorce, the scandal between her
and the owner of Starlight Media became the talk of the town. She even said that Bria had done a
paternity test, and it showed that the owner of Starlight Media was the father of the child. How could the
owner of Starlight Media not accompany her to her family home?

Even if it didn’t seem appropriate for Amelie to bring another man back home since she had just gotten
divorced, Elyse thought the man should at least give her a ride home. “Who was the one who asked
the police chief for help to handle the police inspector?”

“I only remembered that she gave someone called Julia a call. That person had a powerful uncle, and I
think he is the police chief!” Abby tried her best to recall so that Elyse would help her out.



So, Julia was the one who helped out? “Are you sure that it wasn’t someone else?” Elyse questioned,
not wanting to miss out on any details.

“Definitely not!” Abby answered confidently. “She only made a phone call, and it was to that person. I
can memorize each and every word she has said.” With that, Abby started reiterating what Amelie had
said on the phone

So, the owner of Starlight Media didn’t get involved. Elyse smirked at the thought of it. “This is getting
interesting. She started speculating that Amelie was so helpless that she could only seek Julia’s help.

Or maybe she had broken up with the owner of Starlight Media? Or both of them aren’t even related to
each other? The paternity test and the 200 million family trust were all made up by Amelie in order to
get Bria’s custody. Julia was the pioneer of Starlight Media and the owner of the company recently got
divorced. It is possible that Amelie had asked him to help her out through Julia to get Bria’s custody.
What is Amelie’s motive for keeping the child with her after the divorce? Elyse’s expression turned grim
as she had a bad feeling about

it

At the same time, Abby started getting anxious when Elyse was silent as she was waiting for her to
come up with a solution. She immediately slapped her leg and started whining, “Oh Elyse, Elyse. You
have to help me out because I have no one to lean on but you.”

“Got it.” Elyse ended the call without giving her a clear answer.

She pursed her lips while deep in thought as she sat in front of the vanity table. It was only after a while
that she remembered the favor that Abby had asked of her. Since she was a celebrity, she wouldn’t
want to downgrade herself to deal with Amelie on Abby’s behalf.

However, she knew that someone would be more than happy to do so.



She pursed her lips as she dialed a phone number on her phone, “Find a way to let Carla know that
Amelie and the owner of Starlight Media are no longer in contact…”

After the call ended, she received a text message and frowned upon reading it. The next moment, she
stood up and entered the changing room. When she got out, she was all dressed up to the nines.

Meanwhile, at the ceremony, Leo was seen drinking quietly as he swirled the wine glass while looking
distracted. He was dressed in a navy suit which accentuated his fair complexion but his gaze was cold.
There was a frown on his face as he seemed to be deep in thought. Although he was normally a
reserved person, he seemed to be more withdrawn recently.

Ashton, on the other hand, was slumped on the chair, which made him look limp. His hair stood unruly
on top of his head, making him appear arrogant and unapproachable. There was a natural sense of
superiority in his eyes, and he looked like the kind of person who was hard to get along with. He was
wearing a jacket over a T- shirt.

As he took a sip of his drink, he looked at Leo and said, “By the way, you are divorced, so it’s time you
give Elyse a chance.”

Hearing that, Leo turned his head and looked at him, surprised that those words actually came out of
Ashton’s mouth.

Ashton then downed his alcohol before placing the glass on the table. “Elyse was indeed silly for doing
something like that back then. However, it’s quite pitiful for her to be abroad all alone for the past few
years. Moreover, haven’t you gotten married once? Both of you can call it even.”

Hearing that, Leo didn’t give him a reply but continued drinking his wine. Ashton was so annoyed by
Leo’s silent treatment that he pulled his collar until it stretched out.



“What’s the matter?” Toby asked with a smile when he noticed that Ashton seemed unhappy. The tense
situation within the room had slightly eased when Toby, who had a warm disposition, entered.

As soon as he heard that, Ashton snorted and pursed his lips before glancing over at Leo, but he didn’t
reply to Toby’s question.

Instead, Leo’s eyes lit up when he saw Toby. “Where have you been lately? I haven’t seen you around.”

“Where else could he go? He must have been pursuing some influencer, Ashton answered on Toby’s
behalf.

Hearing that, Toby smiled as he nodded. “I went to Quinn Town.”

“Quinn Town?” Leo was just curious about where Toby had been, but his expression changed at the
mention of the place. He tightened the grip on the glass and immediately straightened his posture.

“Foxy is staying at Lumina Village at Quinn Town. I purposely went there to discuss having a
collaboration. She had agreed to be our lobbyist and had asked me to send her the information.”

Normally, Leo would be interested when Toby talked about work. However, this time round, he seemed
distracted. His brows were furrowed, and his gaze was darkened. Lost in deep thoughts, he was so
focused that he didn’t notice someone standing by the door, but Ashton did. He recognized her as soon
as she appeared.

He then stood up and looked at Leo with a straight face. “I heard that your mom had been urging you to
get married and had been looking for a suitable bride for you. Instead of hooking up and ending up
having a failed marriage like how you and Amelie did, why not be with someone whom you already
know? We could tell how much you loved Elyse and treated her with so much love back then. Leo, we
know that you’re a loyal man. If not, you wouldn’t have only loved her all these years. Even though you



were married to Amelie, you had never seen her as your wife. In fact, in your heart, Elyse is your one
and only true love, right? If that’s the case, then you should put the past behind you and treat her well.”

Toby, sitting opposite them, was quiet and continued drinking his wine, not wanting to be involved. He
never liked it when Ashton tried to match Leo and Elyse. However, he changed his mind after returning
from Lumina Village, especially when he found out from Amelie that she had given up on Leo
completely.

Toby remained quiet and didn’t seem to be interested in whether Leo would accept Elyse. On the other
hand, when Leo heard that Ashton brought the matter up again, he frowned but didn’t say a word. He
placed the wineglass on the table and walked away. As he walked, he noticed that person standing by
the door.
