A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 72

Chris’ heart was pounding like crazy. He couldn’t take his hands off the steering wheel and wasn’t in
the position to answer Leo’s call.

It was Perez who answered the phone in his stead. He had to relay the message a few times before
Chris finally understood what was happening.

“Tell him that the competition has already begun! It won’t stop even if I force them to!” Chris roared,
though most of it was muffled due to the deafening wind.

Still, it was still loud enough for Leo to catch what he said.

He gripped the phone so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

He never knew that Amelie would be this insane!

After what felt like ages, he finally turned his eyes back on the screen.

What he witnessed made him freeze!

He couldn’t tear his eyes off the sight.

The car that had been swerving left and right in a precarious manner flew up at the very last turn!

“What?!”

“Oh, no!”

The audience had their eyes peeled on the screen and began exclaiming in shock when they saw the
car lifting off the ground.



They could already imagine just how severe the crash would be when the car landed.

Judging from the velocity alone, it would surely be a fatal impact!

Amelie and Julia were doomed!

Someone even started calling the police as this scene appeared before their eyes.

“What the hell?! What the f*ck?!”

The footage soon captured Chris and Perez, who had been desperately trying to catch up to them.
Both of them cursed at the same time when they saw that they’d failed to stop the impending accident.
T-They’ve been overtaken!” Perez abruptly yelled in agitation as he pointed toward the front.

The video stream didn’t cut to where his hands were wildly gesturing toward, so everyone could only
stare at the two men’s expressions in utter confusion.

“Quick! Cut back to the other camera!” One of the onlookers was so frazzled that he shoved his
colleague as though he was a bus and was trying to run the dawdling obstacle over!

At last, the footage on the screen changed.

To their immense surprise, they only saw Elyse’s car. Plus, it was the only one racing down the track.

“What about Amelie and Julia?”

“Did they crash?”

“Is there any sign of the wreckage?”

“What a pity.”



Leo’s eyes remained fixated on the screen.

All he could see was Elyse’s car.

His hand clenched even tighter as his muscles tensed!

Even though he loathed Amelie with every fiber of his being, he never wanted her dead…

He never thought that he would one day lose control because of Amelie. His heart was about to jump
out of his chest. He had never reacted this way before!

“Look! They’re fine! They’re up ahead!”

The engineer’s voice rang out with sheer relief and excitement.

He had been switching through the cameras, hoping this wouldn’t end in a tragedy.

After he had switched through all three different viewpoints of the track and still couldn’t see a single
sign of Amelie and Julia’s car, he had slowly begun to lose all hope.

He never would’ve thought their car would finally show up on the fourth camera he chose!

“Oh, my goodness! Amelie and Julia are alive!”

“They overtook the other car!”

“They’re so far ahead too!”

Everyone began clapping so hard that their palms were red, though it was uncertain what they were
truly feeling.

Some were even so overjoyed that they teared up.



There was no way of describing what the crowd was feeling at this moment.

Some of them were in awe of Amelie and Julia’s excellent skills.

A few in the crowd closed their eyes as they exhaled in relief, wholly glad that they weren’t about to
witness a double death.

The tension slowly seeped out of Leo’s body as he slowly relaxed.

He didn’t know what had gotten into him.

“I can’t believe it. No one has ever raced blindfolded before.”

“And to have achieved such an excellent result too!”

“I’m willing to bet that she’s Dash!”

Leo caught all the praises and cheers from the surrounding crowd. Then, he clenched his fists again.

Amelie is Dash?

He wouldn’t even bother to entertain this possibility in the past.

However, after he had a front-row seat in witnessing her ability, he couldn’t dismiss that thought any
longer.

His confusion began to cloud his eyes.

“Great job, Amelie!” Julia cheered loudly in the car.

It was better to drive blindfolded when racing down an off-road circuit.

Off-road tracks were a lot more complex and relied heavily on the co-driver’s navigational skills.



One didn’t really need the driver’s sight.

At times, it might even affect the racer’s judgment.

Naturally, the two knew full well that even though the twists and turns were alarming, they were never
in any real danger.

Amelie didn’t respond as she was entirely focused on driving.

Nevertheless, her lips curved into the smile that only Dash would have.

A brilliant, confident smile that was combined with a racer’s fearlessness and a woman’s grace.

She shone brightly like a dazzling diamond! Even though she blindfolded her eyes, even in the
darkness of the night.

“That’s amazing! She’s cool!”

Behind them, Chris screamed his head off in excitement when he saw that Amelie’s car had overtaken
Elyse’s.

With Perez’s help, the two men overtook Elyse and hurled down the track.

They were so ecstatic that they didn’t see the drain in front of them.

Chris’ car flew straight… into the drain.

Amelie and Julia waited at the finish line for quite some time before Elyse’s car finally approached.

Julia had lost all patience and had already fallen asleep inside the car.



Amelie was the only one standing outside the car. She had her head lowered as her foot leisurely drew
circles in the ground.

Elyse stopped the car and slammed the door behind her before stomping over.

Tina, who was still sitting inside the car, secretly checked the time.

They were ten whole minutes slower than Amelie!

To a racer, ten minutes was longer than a lifetime! It was utter humiliation!

Elyse marched over to Amelie and snapped icily, “You wiped the floor with me. Are you finally happy
now?”

Amelie’s expression remained aloof, and she merely glanced at Elyse without responding.

In contrast to Elyse’s fury, Amelie was as calm as a cucumber.

Elyse no longer attempted to hide what she truly felt.

Amelie’s lack of response made Elyse feel as if she was being disregarded and secretly mocked.

She balled her fists as if she wanted to choke Amelie to death.

Nonetheless, at the very next moment, she forced herself to smile.

“So what if you won? Leo’s mine. He’s the one who asked me to go out with him. We’ll be getting
married, too. He won’t be getting back with you for the rest of your life, no matter how accomplished
you are!”

Amelie slowly straightened her posture in the face of Elyse’s words.



Her gaze became glacial as she stared straight into Elyse’s eyes. “Leo Alston isn’t the reason why I
competed against you today. I don’t care whether you will be engaged or married to that man. As for
getting back with him… I’m sorry to say you’re so delusional I don’t even know where to start, Miss
Clayton.”

“Am I the one overthinking things, or are you the one who’s just putting on an act, huh?” Elyse didn’t
believe a word of what Amelie said. “You say you didn’t compete against me because of Leo, but what
else is there between us, apart from him?”

“What else is there, you ask.” Amelie tapped the edge of the car and looked into the distance. “Have
you forgotten already, Miss Clayton? Four years ago, you nearly killed both my child and me!”

“W-What are you talking about?” Elyse’s heart jolted as she stared tersely at Amelie.

She wasn’t as confident as she acted.

Amelie turned around and stared right into Elyse’s eyes. “Four years ago, you heard from Ashton that
Leo and I were going to visit the cemetery, so you purposely timed it just right and called Leo for help
while we were on the way there. You claimed you were being kidnapped. Because of this, Leo ditched
my unborn child and me to rescue you. Did you forget about this?”

Twas in trouble!” Elyse’s expression turned stiff briefly as she tried to defend herself. “You’re the one
who wasn’t important enough to him! How can you blame me for that? If I were you, I would’ve
accepted reality back then and left Leo!”

“Hah!” Amelie snorted coldly, but she wasn’t in a rush to respond.

Elyse froze as she finally saw Amelie for who she was.



She couldn’t deny that she had always thought of Amelie as someone who was beneath her, but
Amelie’s snort felt like a slap in the face.

The color began draining out of her face as she realized she had bitten more than she could chew.

Amelie’s gaze was piercing enough to rip her pretense to shreds!

“You faked your kidnapping, and Leo had to run around in exhaustion for several days just for you. You
didn’t feel bad about making him go through all that.”

“F-Faked?” Elyse’s mind went blank.

She stared at Amelie in disbelief.

I made sure no one would ever find out about it! Even Leo didn’t notice anything amiss. How does she
know?

“What kind of nonsense are you babbling about?!” Elyse tried to defend herself against Amelie.

Amelie held up her phone and showed her the screen. “I’ve already located the person who was the
mastermind behind that incident. That person is currently in the city of Chattelay in Flaronia, and the
address

is…

She easily listed the person’s details, including address and phone number.

“I have proof if you want it.”

Elyse was rendered mute as she felt her house of cards crumbling beneath her.

“That’s impossible



Did Amelie not only one up her when it came to racing but even unearthed the truth about the incident
years ago?

Elyse’s expression morphed into one of fear and panic. Even her hands began to tremble as she
thought of the potential consequences.

Amelie couldn’t be bothered to waste any more time on Elyse, so she got back into the car without a
backward glance.

Then, she started the engine and drove off, leaving Elyse staring helplessly as she departed.

Elyse’s hands and feet had gone clammy, and she cautiously glanced behind her.

Tina was in the car, but it was quite a distance away, so she wouldn’t have heard anything. Julia was
also asleep. Thus, no one saw her losing her composure.

It’s fine. I just have to get this sorted out later. Everything will be fine. With this thought in mind, Elyse
gathered her emotions and returned to the car.

Yet, she stopped dead in her tracks after only a few steps.

A figure was standing quietly, not too far away from her.
