A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 403

A Self-directed Scheme

An hour later, Amelie exited the conference room.

“What is the result? Did you figure out who did it?” Melissa staggered as she approached Amelie and
inquired.

Amelie shook her head. “Everyone who came has an alibi, and the surveillance camera in the room
was inexplicably broken. Nothing was recorded.”

“Why did it turn out like this?” Melissa appeared very worried.

However, Jodie snorted. “Why not? You’re just trying to shift the blame, Amelie. Others might be
ignorant but I’m not. You did this because you covet my brother’s property! You want to kill him, so you
came up with such a self-directed scheme!”

“Jodie!” Melissa reminded her and gave her a look to shut her up.

Jodie, of course, was reluctant. “Did I say anything wrong? This is the VIP floor. Who could easily come
here and do something bad? Except for Amelie, who else is capable of this? Mom, I warned you not to
put too much faith in this woman. She claims she is uninterested in our family property, but she has
long coveted it. Who in this world dislikes money?” Jodie sounded aggressive, and she even glared at
Amelie. “Furthermore, even if she didn’t do it for the money, she despises Leo because of how he has
treated her in the past. Of course, she wants to kill Leo and us to exact revenge!”

Amelie had lost the desire to refute Jodie’s outlandish claims, so she simply let Jodie be.

However, Jodie behaved more outrageously seeing Amelie remain silent. “Mom, look at that. She’s
struck speechless. She’s already admitted to it!”



“Zip it!” Melissa gave several warnings whenever Jodie spoke more nonsense, and she even made a
gesture as if to slap Jodie.

Consequently, Jodie felt much aggrieved, and she kept pursing her lips. “Just wait and see. I’ll expose
her true colors one day!” After that, she snorted and left while pushing her wheelchair forward.

Leo’s condition was still unknown. The doctors had been in the surgery room for three hours. No one
came out to give them a message either. Amelie appeared calm, but her eyes were full of worry. What
if something happens to him… A sudden sharp pain gripped her chest.

The doctors only appeared when night fell.

“How is he?” Amelie and Melissa both dashed over to question the doctor.

The doctor took off the mask. “Ladies, don’t worry. This incident didn’t cause Mr. Alston any real harm.”

“Why did you take so long to save him since he’s not harmed? You’re not lying to us, are you?” Melissa
was very anxious.

The doctor laughed. “How could we possibly lie to you when it’s a matter of life and death for the
patient? We weren’t trying to save him, but rather to figure out why he could breathe on his own.”

“He could breathe… on his own.” Amelie was stunned by what she had heard.

The doctor nodded. “We don’t know when he started breathing on his own either. Anyway, he was not
harmed when the breathing apparatus was pulled off.”

“Do you mean… he will wake up soon?” Joy filled Amelie.

The doctor did not immediately respond, but after a long pause, he explained, “The ability to breathe on
his own has no bearing on whether or not he can wake up. We don’t dare to make any conclusion.



However, one thing is certain. His body is healing in a good way. He might regain consciousness.”

“Regain… consciousness?” Melissa was more agitated than Amelie as she muttered that statement
several times.

“There’s a possibility of that.” The doctor did not respond in the affirmative.

Leo was pushed out before long. Although he could breathe on his own, the doctor placed him on a
respirator for safety reasons.

Both Melissa and Amelie went forward and saw Leo lying in bed. They then pushed him back to the
ward.

In the ward, Melissa touched Leo’s face and cried incessantly while Amelie stood by the side quietly.

Amelie did not dare to be careless after such an incident. She readjusted the security system of the VIP
ward and hired two guards to protect Leo. Only after arranging those did she go downstairs with
Eugene. A deep frown remained on her brow.

“What else are you worried about, Miss Dillon? Are you concerned that the people who did this to Mr.
Alston will not give up and will try again?” Eugene asked a question.

She pressed her lips together and nodded.

“But you have enforced the security system.” He felt that that should be enough.

“If someone wants to kill him, these devices will eventually fail. And the men who are guarding him…”
I’m well aware that human loyalty is less dependable than a strong security system. “I need a
trustworthy person to find out who wants him dead as soon as possible.”



Amelie initially wanted to seek assistance from Samuel, but he had returned to his family to manage his
family business. It was best not to let him get involved in this again. For a brief moment, she was
unsure whom to approach.

Eugene paused for a moment to reflect on the situation. “I’ve got a decent candidate.”

The moment Amelie saw Victor, she knew he was a trustworthy person. In his eyes was a sense of
indifference not seen in ordinary people. He was quiet and composed, no matter whether he stood or
sat. She handed over control of the situation to him and asked him to be responsible for Leo’s safety.

“Don’t be worried, Miss Dillon. It’s my responsibility given my relationship with Mr. Alston.”

She then talked about the details with him until late at night before returning to her house, but she did
not tell Bria or Steven about what happened to Leo because she didn’t want them to worry.

The days that followed were relatively peaceful. However, a solicitor went to Amelie to give her a
shares transfer agreement.

“Mr. Alston has long drafted this shares transfer agreement, which has been kept at my place. I believe
you should keep this,” the lawyer elaborated.

Amelie had known about the shares transfer agreement for a long time, but she was still a little dazed
when she saw the document right in front of her.

“This shares transfer agreement is legally binding. Miss Dillon, it’s possible if you want to go through
the formalities,” the lawyer continued.

Amelie looked at him but made no response for a long time. At last, she pushed it slightly. “Got it.”

The lawyer could not figure out her thoughts, but he said nothing more and left.



She called Victor no long after the lawyer had left. “Investigate Mr. Lewis.”

“Yes.” Victor never said or asked anything unnecessary. He hung up the phone right after Amelie gave
her order.

Amelie then locked the shares transfer agreement away in her cabinet and went to numerous
meetings. After the final meeting, it was already evening. As she walked toward her office, she leaned
close to give Eugene some orders.

“Miss Dillon.” The secretary at the secretary’s desk called after her with an uneasy expression. “Mrs.
Alston is here. She insisted on waiting for you in your office, and we couldn’t do anything…”

There were many important documents in her office. Others were generally not permitted to enter her
office unless she invited them. She was bewildered for a moment before nodding. She did not
reprimand the secretary, instead saying, “Just get me two cups of coffee.”

The secretary was relieved since Amelie did not scold her.

Amelie was not as solemn as Leo, but she was meticulous in her work. She would not show mercy if
her subordinates made any fundamental errors. Her means were not insignificant in comparison to
Leo’s. So, even though she was generally polite to her subordinates, the secretary did not dare to
disobey her easily.
