A Matter of Wife and Love Chapter 405

Melissa gripped Amelie’s hand tightly. “Elie, Jodie did such a stupid thing just because Leony gave you
all the shares. She’s already lost her mind, even though you don’t want them. It’s useless even if we
advise her. I… I don’t want her to be ruined in this way. Why don’t you do one more thing and return the
shares to the Alstons? I know that it’s meddlesome, but Jodie won’t be so upset when she knows about
it.”

Amelie became thoughtful. “Do I put Leo as the recipient?”

“Oh, no, just put down my name.” Melissa elaborated, “You know that Leony’s illness will recur. Who
knows when he’ll wake up? It’ll be more troublesome if you return them to him. Jodie won’t have any
objections if you give them to me, and others won’t dare to say anything either.”

“I’ll think about it,” Amelie answered.

“There’s no need to.” Melissa appeared to be nervous. “You simply need to transfer them to me. After
all, you don’t want the shares, do you?”

“That’s true, but it involves a lot of legal technicalities. It’s best to get everything cleared up.”

Melissa did not say much about that after listening to Amelie. She simply said, “I’ll ask around and see
if it’s meddlesome. I’ll call you after figuring it all out. Don’t worry. It won’t take up much of your time. I’ll
do my best to handle everything and just have you sign it.”

“Okay.”

Amelie noticed the cars parked by the curb as she exited Alston Residence. Eugene and Victor were
still there. Eugene had to look after Amelie as per Leo’s orders, and Victor had something else to say.

She asked Eugene to leave first before she got into Victor’s car. He then started the car.



Amelie relayed Melissa’s suggestion. “What do you think?”

“Miss Dillon, I believe you have the answer,” Victor said.

Smiling, Amelie replied, “Yes, I do.”

“You think Melissa’s been acting unusual, and the lawyer seems off as well,” Victor outlined. He had
been a detective for a long time, so his logical reasoning abilities were exceptional.

She nodded. “The lawyer’s appearance is too sudden, while Melissa’s request is too odd.” Melissa only
needs to tear up the shares transfer agreement to get those shares back. She doesn’t have to take
such a detour at all.

“I suspect the lawyer gave me the shares transfer agreement on Melissa’s orders. She most likely
wants to claim the shares herself.” Amelie was aware that it was a wild guess, but she could not think
of anything else.

“Does that mean what Jodie did was also the result of Melissa’s deception?” Victor had a wilder
suggestion.

Amelie drew in a cold breath at the thought. This idea did occur to me, but I didn’t dare to give it much
thought. If Melissa did all this, what did it make her? She would be worse than a monster!

“I’m still baffled as to why she did this.”

Victor turned around to glance at her. She’s not shocked at my assumption, but she’s jumped to a more
important issue. Ordinary people aren’t as quick-witted as her.

“Uhm… I can look into that,” he said.

“Okay, thank you.”



Amelie was not ignorant of worldly affairs. Although the guess toward Melissa is too bold, I still trust my
instincts.

The days that followed were peaceful. Melissa would come to Amelie for small talk daily. She did not
say anything about it, but she made it clear to Amelie that she had come for the shares. Amelie, on the
other hand, received no news from Victor, so she naturally would not agree to it while she pretended
not to see through that. Melissa could only leave every day in dismay.

One day, Victor finally called her. “There’s a big issue that may be relevant to Melissa. This could be
the real reason she’s so eager to get her hands on the shares.”

“Let’s talk face-to-face.” Amelie did not say much before they decided on a location.

Melissa’s exquisite fingernails stood out against the red wine in Alston Residence. The fingernails were
blue, while the wine was red. She held the wine glass between her fingers and wore silk pajamas as
she lay lazily on the couch, talking on the phone.

“Mr. Lowe, why don’t you believe me? I’ll transfer the shares to you as soon as I receive them.”

“I heard that Leony can breathe on his own now. It looks like he’s about to wake up. If you do this,
aren’t you afraid that he’ll come after you when he wakes up?” It was Ashton’s wicked but languid voice
coming from the other end of the phone.

“What is there to be afraid of?” Melissa cocked her chin. “When he wakes up, I’ve already left with my
belongings. How is he going to find me? Even if he finds me, what can he do to me since I am his
mother?”

Ashton chuckled lowly as he listened to Melissa’s fearless remarks.



“What about you, though? When he wakes up, he’ll come after you if you get the shares and become
the boss of Genesis. You must be prepared.”

“When he wakes up, he’s nothing but a poor man. At most, he can work for me. How can he possibly
fight against me? But, for your sake, I’ll be nice to him.” After that, he feigned laughter with a low
chuckle as his eyes were engulfed with a sinister light.

Leo looked down on me previously. How could I let him have it easy? When he wakes up, the first thing
I’ll do is show off. I’ll let him know that the person he once despised is not easy meat.

“All right.” All Melissa wanted at that moment was to get the shares and exchange them for money. She
cared about nothing else.

“So, Mrs. Alston, why did you suddenly decide to give Genesis and your son up? Even if you hold a
great grudge against him, you don’t have to go to such an extent since he’s your son, do you?” Ashton
asked curiously.

Her face became distorted. “I don’t hold a grudge against him, but there’s no one managing the
company now given his current situation. It’s better to hold the money in hand. If he wakes up in the
future, of course, I’ll help him with the money since I’m his mother.”

A giggle came from Ashton. “Madam, I’m not as silly as you guys thought. I heard that Leony had
started investigating the car accident that caused his father’s death before his coma. I’m sure you’ve
heard about it. Oh, that car accident is quite mysterious. I even heard a version that claims that you
were the one who caused the car accident.”

“W-What nonsense are you talking about?” Melissa’s well-nourished face revealed nothing but deep
fear now. She even dropped the wine glass in her hand. The glass shattered on the floor and made a
loud, crisp sound.



Ashton was enlightened when he heard that. “You don’t have to keep it a secret from me. We’re all in
the same boat now. Even if you’re really the culprit, I won’t look at you differently.”

He was not a kind man himself, and he never cared about morality. Besides, those were family affairs
of the Alstons. It would only make him happier to see the Alstons get into more and more mess.

Melissa was able to calm herself down after a long while. She warned with a shaky voice, “Don’t you
dare spread it out!”

“Oh, I won’t. By the way, do you need help getting rid of that lawyer whom you bribed?”

“Let’s talk about it later.” Melissa became flustered. She quickly hung up the phone. She then grabbed
her hair and drew in a cold breath. “How did Ashton find out? This isn’t a small affair. Will this b*stard
use this to set me up?”

“Mom, you want to sell the company?!” She heard a voice out of the blue when she was still vexed.
