Chapter 275 Elyse’s New Trick

Elyse held her numb and painful head and looked over, just to see that Ellen—who had been hiding behind Michael—suddenly appeared with the tennis racket she had been holding all along.

The top of the cheap racket hung down, and the light blue strap was loosely draped over an iron handle.

“You hit me?” Only then did she realize what had happened and stare at Ellen in disbelief, her eyes rolling in fury.

However, at the same time, she noticed that the once timid and cowardly Ellen was no longer to be found, as she was now staring back at her with a sinister gaze.

“Leo is mine. He’s mine,” she muttered under her breath, her eyes staring blankly, emitting a mad gaze. “Don’t you dare take him from me. I’ll kill anyone who does that!”

As she spoke, she raised the tennis racket and wildly swung it in the air while rushing toward Elyse. At this moment, her intention to kill was evident, as her eyes showed her desire for blood.

Her sudden change and huge contrast shocked Elyse, causing her to fall to the ground, completely stunned.

If Michael didn’t rush over to stop Ellen, Elyse would have been beaten to a pulp by her sister.

Yet, even with Michael stopping her, Ellen still refused to let Elyse go. She frantically shouted, “Say it, say it now! Say that you don’t love Leo! Say that you won’t take him from me!”

“Okay, okay. No one’s taking him from you. No one,” he comforted her as he pushed her into a room.

Meanwhile, Elyse remained sitting on the ground. As she propped herself up from the ground with her hands, she slowly regained her senses. The image of Ellen’s terrifying bloodthirsty look kept flashing

through her mind, causing cold sweat to seep out until her back became cold and damp. I have almost been beaten to death. Ellen is truly terrifying when she goes crazy.

Ellen in this state… A bold idea suddenly flashed through her mind, and her eyes lit up. Immediately, a sinister smile played on her lips.

Although unexpected events occurred during the production of ‘Show Your Love’, the show’s effect turned out to be surprisingly good. So, Mr. Hampton immediately started planning the second episode.

On Monday, the new episode officially began filming. Since the early morning, various reporters and online influencers gathered outside the TV station, waiting to capture the latest scoop.

The TV station was happy to have people generate buzz for them, so they added space on both sides of the red carpet for the reporters to use. The carpet extended all the way from the TV station’s entrance to the studio, and the reporters filled every available spot there. Everyone was eagerly awaiting the appearance of the most talked-about contestants.

Amelie habitually arrived early and didn’t bother with any flashy tricks for a grand entrance.

After putting on her mask, she confidently made her way down the red carpet. Seeing the crowds of people on either side, she just wanted to quickly finish walking the red carpet and get it over with.

Meanwhile, Blake, who got out of the car behind her, noticed her hurried steps. He knew her well enough to know what was on her mind. At the thought of that, a faint smile played on his lips.

“Shall we go over there?” his assistant asked.

At that, he pocketed the tenderness in his gaze and shook his head. “Let’s wait for a bit.” She doesn’t like to be surrounded by people. I should join in later.

He was well-versed in the ways of the media. If they both appeared together, they would be bombarded with questions and could never leave.

Just then, another long, black MPV pulled up next to them. The door opened slowly, revealing a pair of shiny black shoes, followed by a pair of long and slender legs that were wrapped in black suit pants that fit perfectly.

The MPV was high enough that the man didn’t even have to bend his head as he stepped out. With just a slight push from his long fingers on the car door, a cold and stern face was revealed.

Behind the man was a woman who followed closely, but he didn’t pay her any attention as he walked away with determined strides.

At the same time, Amelie was intercepted by the reporters in front. Just as she paused for a moment, the man had already walked up behind her. With one more step, he stood right next to her.

“Leo…” Jodie looked at the hurried Leo with a pout. When she saw her brother standing next to the masked Foxy, a clear disgust flashed in her eyes.

Just as she was about to chase after him, she turned around and saw Blake standing by their car.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up like two bright lamps, and she could no longer see anyone else. She ran to Blake while holding up the hem of her dress.

Meanwhile, the reporters were interviewing Foxy when their cameras were suddenly blocked, causing them to look up. When they saw Leo, their eyes shone inexplicably.

By right, even if Leo had arrived, he would be standing behind Foxy or at least leave the place after greeting her. What’s going on? Why is he beside Foxy?

Everyone’s eyes darted between him and Amelie, trying to find the answer on their faces.

Leo was now right in front of her, so it was hard not to notice him. Amelie was also surprised to see him standing next to her and couldn’t help but look over, but she noticed that he was still pressing his lips together and not saying anything.

He remained silent; the reporters remained silent; Amelie remained silent as well. At once, the scene fell into an eerie silence.

“Morning, Mr. Alston.” Amelie decided to break the silence.

At that, a low and elusive ‘hi’ slipped out of his throat.

For some reason, she felt that this ‘hi’ was filled with a certain ambiguity as if he wanted people to know that they were quite close to each other.

Not only she, but the reporters also sensed this and began to raise their microphones, ready to ask questions.

“Let’s go,” he continued, ignoring all their gazes but not moving.

At this moment, she was completely speechless. Since he didn’t move, she had to take the first step. She truly disliked being endlessly probed and investigated for her privacy, so she took a step forward.

He followed suit, and the two walked side by side.

Something is definitely going on between them. The reporters’ eyes lit up with excitement, and they pondered whether to pluck up some courage and try to interview Leo, or at least ask Foxy a few questions.

Although the reporters in the front row wanted to do so, not one of them dared to stop them. Talking to Foxy was doable, but Leo’s cold and aloof demeanor was too intimidating. They felt like they were being scrutinized through a skewer with just one glance from him. Moreover, it was rumored that he was ruthless in the business world. He might ruin their career if he became unhappy. Since Amelie was standing next to him, they didn’t dare stop her either.

At that moment, there was a commotion behind them, so everyone turned around to see what was happening, only to see that it was Elyse stepping out of her white luxury MPV.

She wore a white suit that accentuated her extremely fair skin, which seemed to glow. However, she was no longer dressed like a goddess, with her hair tied up instead, giving her the vibe of a strong and capable woman.

Her appearance was like a big stone suddenly thrown into a pool, and everyone’s attention quickly shifted from her back to the nearby Leo, who was walking alongside Amelie.

It was well known that Leo only participated in ‘Show Your Love’ because of Elyse. Now that they had gone their separate ways, he was with Foxy. What is going on?

The nature of gossip immediately surged through the reporters, filling every part of their bodies and piquing their curiosity. It even made them forget their fear of Leo as the reporters in the front row rushed to block their way on the red carpet.

Instantly, as if everyone’s eyes had turned into spotlights, they were fixed on Amelie, Leo, and Elyse. As their eyes darted around the three, they started speculating in their minds.
