A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 227

“I promise you that I’ll bring you to see her once she gets better. So, Leony, for the sake of your savior,
please give her some time, okay?” Along with the tears streaming down her pitiful-looking face, her sad
voice could evoke everyone’s compassion.

In the end, Leo withdrew his hand, but it was not because he felt distressed for Elyse. It was because
he was afraid that… Big Eyes was back.

How could he stand to hurt Big Eyes, who donated her cornea to him?

As such, he walked toward the living room with Michael and Elyse following behind him. When they
looked up, they saw that Leo had not left but stood in the living room with his back against them. His
hands were sagging before him, and he seemed to be exuding a sad aura.

Having known him for so long, Elyse had never seen him so dejected and was shocked.

Michael nudged her, asking her to say something. “Leony…” She hesitantly called him.

“You should know what I’m capable of. If this is all a lie, you’d better come clean!” After warning them,
Leo disappeared through the entrance.

It was not until they heard the car engine gradually disappearing that Michael clutched his chest,
moved a few steps back, and plopped down onto the couch like a pile of mud.

Meanwhile, Elyse was not faring any better. Her face was ashen, and she had broken out in a cold
sweat. She was gripping the metal armrests of her wheelchair to stop herself from falling over.

It took her a while before she slowly made her way to the closed door and opened it with a key,
revealing an empty room.



“El, have you gone mad? How could you lie to Leo about this?” Michael got up from the couch and
made his way over to Elyse with difficulty. He supported his waist while heaving. “Do you know how
much danger you’ve put us in earlier? I was almost scared to death!”

“It’s not the first time, anyway! What’s there to be afraid of?” Her voice was now ice cold, and her
expression had returned to normal.

On the other hand, he looked pale after being exposed.

“Didn’t I ask you to get a decoy?” Elyse questioned in dissatisfaction, “Why is no one here?”

Michael sighed and replied, “How do you expect me to get a woman in such a short time? You should
be lucky I was quick-witted and locked the door. Or else, we would’ve been toast.” He kept wiping the
sweat on his forehead.

The so-called ‘Ellen is back’ was just a plan Elyse conjured up on a whim. Therefore, when Leo asked
to meet his savior, she could only text Michael and ask him to make some arrangements.

Although they were habitual liars, Michael was still terrified by what happened. The person tricked was
not anyone but Leo Alston, the man who could erase him from the earth with ease and silence!

“El, even though you managed to fool Leo this time, you might not be able to fool him again. I think
we’d better come up with another plan. How about we come clean to him?”

He was already so old and wanted to live the rest of his life peacefully, so he did not want to cause any
more trouble for himself.

“Come clean?” When Elyse heard what Michael said, her face immediately fell. “Leo doesn’t even look
at me now. How do you expect me to make a turnaround if we tell him the truth?”

Thinking of the people who bullied and hurt her, she gnashed her teeth so hard and felt her blood boil!



“I’m still counting on him to help me get back on my feet!”

“My dear daughter, what nonsense are you on about?” He felt like crying after hearing what she said. “If
you tell him the truth now, he might forgive us because of your ‘sister’ and make sure we can live a
comfortable life. However, if your lies get exposed, not only would we have to worry about food and
water, we might even lose our lives!”

To Michael, having necessities and money to spend was already a perfect life, so he did not have to
make things more difficult for himself.

“El, you can’t be so muddleheaded.”

Meanwhile, Elyse also knew that her plan was risky.

“I’m going to find Leo now and apologize to him!” While saying that, Michael frantically sprinted toward
the door.

“It’s too late!” Her voice came from behind him. “Dad, have you thought about what would happen if
you tell Leo we lied? He’d start getting suspicious about whether there’s an ‘Ellen’ in the first place! You
and I know the truth, so if he decides to investigate this matter, he’ll certainly find something. When that
time comes, we won’t live a comfortable life but disappear without a trace!”

Once she finished her words, Michael fell to the ground like he had lost all his energy. “El, what have
you done? Can’t you think before coming up with such a plan?”

“Do you think Leo wouldn’t investigate this matter had today’s incident not happened?” Elyse stared
down at her haggard-looking father with cold eyes. “He’s already suspicious and has been
investigating! I helped you this time because only when ‘Ellen’ comes home will he ignore his suspicion
and believe that it was her who saved him!”



“Leo… is investigating this matter? H-How could that be? Didn’t we tie up all our loose ends? How
could he…” He looked at her in disbelief.

She sneered. “Do you think Leo is a fool? He wouldn’t have survived in the business industry if he’s so
gullible.”

Temporarily, Leo could not find any clues because she had someone helping her. When she thought
about that person, she could not help but feel irritated.

“So, what should we do now?” Michael was anxious. He did not want the comfortable life he obtained
to vanish.

“What else can we do? Of course, it’s to find Ellen as soon as possible.”

Hearing that, he wanted to cry again. Find ‘Ellen’? Ellen might’ve been long dead by now, so where can
we find her?

When he transmitted his thoughts into words, she replied, “I don’t care about the probability! We must
find her! If she’s dead, we’ll just find one who has similar circumstances. If there isn’t one, we’ll just
make one!” She wore a vicious expression while pinching her fingers.

At that sight, Michael could not help but exclaim secretly while looking at his daughter. My daughter is
more merciless than me!

“You have more connections, so I’ll leave this to you. I’ll be responsible for stalling Leo,” Elyse ordered
decisively.

…



When Amelie’s father, Steven, went to Quinn Town without returning home after a long time, she
became worried and began calling him.

He found an excuse and said he had something important to do but did not disclose much information
when asked.

Therefore, she thought he had gotten used to living in the countryside and stopped asking questions.
Then, she exhorted him to take care of himself and transferred some money into his bank account.

That weekend, Amelie was sending Bria home when Julia called and said she was about to arrive in
Halport before inviting them to a meal. Since Julia still needed some time to arrive, Amelie brought Bria
to the restaurant first.

When they arrived at the restaurant’s entrance, a group of people happened to come out. One of them
spotted Amelie and paused before calling out for her, “Elie.”

When she looked over, she saw a man in a buzz cut with a briefcase in his hand. She was stunned and
took a while before recognizing the man. “Matthew Larkson?”

Matthew was the richest man from her hometown and used to pursue her, so it came as a surprise to
run into him here.

He uttered something to his companions before leaving them and approaching her.

“Bria, this is Mr. Larkson,” Amelie told Bria.

Then, Bria greeted him in her sweet and crisp voice, after which he caressed her dainty face.

Since Amelie and Bria had stayed in Quinn Town for some time, Matthew had gotten to know the kid
and had taken a liking to her.



“Did you have a business to discuss here?” asked Amelie.

While humming in response, he nodded. “Starlight Media and I are working on an agricultural
development project. I was just discussing it with them.” He rubbed his head as he said that. Although
he felt proud of his accomplishment, he did not show off in front of her.

With that, Amelie finally remembered that Julia had mentioned a project they were working on with
Quinn Town, not expecting it to be with Matthew. However, she did not mention that she was the owner
of Starlight Media and decided to exchange some pleasantries before leaving.

He suddenly changed the topic. “Have you heard about what happened with your dad at Quinn Town?”

“What do you mean?” She could not figure out what he was trying to say.

He hesitated for a bit before explaining, “I don’t know the details since I heard it from someone else, but
according to them, the matter has spread throughout the whole village. I think you’d better head over
and check up on him.”
