A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 234

Elyse heard a movement behind her. Turning around, she saw that Leo had woken up and swung
himself out of the car by holding onto the door hinge. His eyes looked alert, unlike someone who had
just woken up from a nap.

She looked at the phone in her hand, picturing his eyes on her when she secretly took out her phone
just now. That sent a shiver down her spine.

Meanwhile, Michael was fuming because he almost got into a car crash, and he marched up to kick the
wheel of the car blocking the way. However, Leo’s sudden appearance by the car door forced Michael
to frantically scurry back to his car to leave.

At the entrance to the alley, a few bodyguards dressed in black closed in under Eugene Cornelius’
lead.

Elyse saw the scene unfold in Leo’s car. It finally dawned on her that Leo had been waiting to ambush
them—he wanted to expose her and Michael!

We’re done for.

Michael, with his egglike head and tiny eyes, crossed his arms on his chest and bent down a little in a
defensive position. Given his stocky build, he probably could not take down even one bodyguard.

After weighing it up, he put down his hands, turned around, and chuckled. “Mr. Alston, what is this?
Why did you send these men to stand guard at my house? I thought they were robbers!”

Then, he scratched his head. A pathological liar like him could lie with a straight face.

Leo stood there in silence. Half of his figure was shrouded in the night, giving him a cold and distant
appearance.



By now, Elyse’s face was as pale as a ghost. Her hands and legs went limp, and she lost all strength to
get out of the car.

Eugene took a few huge steps forward. “Michael Clayton, how bold of you and your daughter! How
could you cheat Mr. Alston over and over? Do you think he’d always turn a blind eye to what you did?”

He waved, and the bodyguards in black produced two huge black sacks, which they unrolled in front of
Michael. The sacks were perfect for two.

Eugene walked over and flicked the sack. “Mr. Alston didn’t make a move on you not because he
believed in your words. He just wanted you to find the person he needed. But you let him down.”

Michael looked at Eugene and Leo quietly, and his gaze rested on the sacks again.

“Mr. Alston has plenty of sacks like these. Whoever fools him will receive one. Some of those guys
were unlucky. They got their sacks right when they accidentally revealed their intentions. I’d say you
are rather lucky, thanks to that somebody.”

Eugene was referring to the person who had once helped Leo.

There was a mousy look on Michael’s round face. He lost his calm, and his face was ashen, and his
shins were trembling violently.

Elyse noticed the two black sacks as well. She covered her mouth in disbelief and shook her head
furiously, refusing to believe that Leo would go to such lengths.

The bodyguards went up to the car, dragged her out, and flung her on top of Michael. The two were
shaking. Elyse inched closer to Michael, who was powerless to help his daughter.

“You… You’re breaking the law.” Elyse refused to die. She had a long life ahead of her, and she had
unrealized ambitions. Everything would be in vain if she were to die.



Tears flowed down her cheeks.

Eugene snickered at her plea. “Breaking the law to rid evil is a service to the people.” Then, he waved
his hand. “Put them in and throw them into the river!”

The bodyguards immediately went into action and stuffed the two into the sacks. Elyse struggled and
attempted to shout for help, but someone covered her mouth tightly to quiet her. Her screams were
muffled. Crying and shaking her head, she tried to show her remorse to Leo. Alas, he did not want to
take another look at her.

That was when she realized that she was done for. She and Michael were now fully in the sack.
Without needing orders, the bodyguards lifted the sacks and walked away.

Elyse was pissing herself in the sack out of fear. As the sack was waterproof, she was soaked in her
pee.

“L-Leony.” Suddenly, Leo heard a tiny voice and tensed up. He turned around and saw a figure pushing
open Michael’s car door.

The woman had long hair that was stuck to her face. She was smiling timidly at him by the car door.

He was about to speak, but she called out to him again. “Snowy.”

The nickname struck him like lightning. He dashed over and held her arm. “What did you call me?”

The skinny woman was clearly frightened. She cowered and dropped her head, covering her face with
her hair. Soon, he heard her sobbing. “Snowy, you’re a bad guy. We promised not to be angry at each
other. You said you wouldn’t yell at me. You’re a bad guy.”

He loosened his grip on her arm but did not back off. Staring at her in joy and surprise, he asked, “Are
you… Big Eyes?”



She did not answer. Instead, she repeated, “Snowy is a bad guy. We made a pinky promise that you
would never get angry at me. You said a pinky promise is childish. But you were fifteen years old and a
child yourself too!”

The details she mentioned matched his personal experiences. He felt hot tears welling up, and a drop
of tear rolled down his cheek onto her hand.

Eugene had never seen Leo acting in this way. Amid the shock, he came to a realization and hurriedly
waved at the bodyguards. “Place them down!”

On their way back, Leo stared straight at the road in front of them. He was a taciturn man, to begin
with, and his silence at the moment was more deafening.

Eugene turned around to look at Leo, whose face was covered in flickering light and dancing shadows.
Eugene could not tell his emotions from his expression. He hesitated before announcing, “The doctor
performed a full checkup on Miss Ellen Clayton. She lost her left cornea and was blind. This is what
she said to the psychologist under hypnosis.”

Eugene gave Leo a file. Leo snapped back to reality and received it. He switched on the light and
started flipping through the pages for a long time before closing the file.

“Did you manage to find out what she had gone through over the years?” Leo questioned.

“Not at the moment,” Eugene whispered. “We didn’t have enough time to get any clues.”

“Keep investigating!” Leo said decisively. “If you found those who hurt her, do not go easy on them!”

“Yes sir!”



Back at Michael’s house, Elyse showered and changed into fresh clothes. They sat in front of the
woman and stole glances at her.

“Dad, are you sure she’s Ellen?”

In her memory, Ellen was quiet, timid, and slow. When their parents divorced, Elyse pulled some tricks
and acted pitiable, and she managed to get Ellen to live with Michael.

To her surprise, Ellen managed to pull off the role of Leo’s “Big Eyes”. It was hard to believe.

“Is that important? She saved us tonight.” Michael examined the woman in front of him. His blood
daughter was the same as before, apart from looking crazy.

He had never liked Ellen. She was too honest, the exact opposite of his shrewdness, which he
considered a humiliation.

Thankfully, Ellen was obedient and would follow all of his orders.

However, Ellen turned a little crazy after his stay in Quinn Town. Not only that, he lost her somehow,
but he did not care enough to search for her, thinking that she might have run away.

Ellen was back, but she returned as a mad woman.

“God is helping us. Didn’t we tell Leo Alston that Ellen has gone mad? And she did!” Michael touched
his chin in satisfaction. He did not feel sad about Ellen’s change—it was good news to him.

“Dad, where did you find her?”
