At that moment, Amelieâs expression changed drastically as she sensed the murderous intent and saw the motorcycle charging toward her!
Then, she noticed that it was Tom riding the bike. He didnât even wear a helmet and his face was twisted in viciousness. His eyes were cold as he sped up his motorcycle, causing the vehicle to rumble loudly. He gritted his teeth and charged toward Amelle, seemingly as if he was going to run over her!
In that split second, her gaze went from his face to his hand before she noticed that his hands were twitching slightly. However, she didnât overlook it and knew what was happening. Thus, she smiled at the sight of him.
Soon, Tomâs motorcycle was approaching without slowing down. Initially, Tom thought that Amelie would scream horrifyingly and embarrass herself. However, she was just crossing her arms casually as she looked at him.
Her reactions scared the man out of his wits. After all, he was there to cause trouble for Amelie since he had waited for nothing for a whole night with eagerness when Abby told him that Elyse would go against Amelie. While thinking Elyse was unreliable, Tom felt he couldnât let this matter off the hook.
Hence, he was out looking for Amelie.
Although he was unreasonable, he didnât dare to crash into her for real. All he did just now was to scare her, but Amelie didnât fall for it. Noticing this, Tom was shocked and felt defeated.
When he was just in front of Amelie, he didnât dare to crash into her and was about to change direction when he heard a huge crash and was hit by something hard! Then, he snapped back to his senses and realized that a car had somehow got in between him and Amelie. Since Tom had crashed directly into the car door, his old motorcycle had broken some parts while the car had a huge dent.
When Tom was hit and fell to the ground, he cried out in pain and was about to curse the owner of the car. However, when he saw the brand of the car, his mouth was agape, and he couldnât make a sound.
At that moment, a man in a suit got out of the car. âAre you alright?â he asked.
Hearing his voice, Amelie looked at the man. The man was almost in his thirties and had a square-
shaped face. His hairstyle was up to date, with a nice taper on the side and a nicely groomed top.
âIâm fine,â she said politely.
On the other hand, Tom was rubbing his waist and crying out, looking as if he was in severe pain. âHey!
Iâm the one you hit! How are you going to pay me when you hit me and my car?â
At the question, the man walked toward him. âIf it werenât for me, you would have killed someone, Tom.
So, donât try to tell me to compensate you. Hereâs fifty, so get out of here and buy yourself some cigarettes. As for that old motorcycle, it should have been discarded a long time ago.â
When Tom heard his words, he immediately cowered and left without saying anything after taking the money from the man. At that moment, Amelie was looking at the manâs actions in silence. Then, she watched Tom leave After a moment, the man returned and said, âDonât worry. Although Tom has the idea of hurting you, he wouldnât dare to do so. From now on, he wonât cause trouble for you anymore.â As he spoke, he was smiling at her âThank you,â Amelie replied faintly. Although she didnât need his help, he had already lent a helping hand to her. Thus, she would need to thank him for it However, the man ruffled his hair and said her name. âYouâre being too polite, Amy.â
Hearing his words, Amelie looked at him in shock Then, the man introduced himself, saying, âIâm Matthew Larkson. We used to go to the same school together.â
Only when she heard his words did Amelie recall that he was indeed her classmate when she was studying elementary school.
Then, she saw that Matthew was driving an imported BMW worth about two hundred million. Obviously, he had earned a lot in the past few years.
When he noticed that she was looking at his car, he went over and patted his vehicle while saying, âIâm doing well since I have been working with my father.â He was a humble gentleman.
When Amelie was still young, Matthewâs father became the wealthiest person in the village. Looking at Matthewâs appearance, Amelie guessed that his father was still the richest in the village.
Then, she averted her gaze and said faintly, âHow much is it for your ruined car door? Iâll pay for it.â
âThereâs no need for it.â Matthew shook his head. âI can claim insurance with such a small defect.â
Then, he walked toward Amelie and stood in front of her. His eyes were filled with admiration as he spoke. âYesterday, I heard that you came back, Amy. I also know that Tom and his family had bullied you. Initially, I wanted to go to the police station to help you with this. However, you and your father had already left when I arrived. Thus, I didnât bother you guys since I know you all must be exhausted.â
He had something more to say, but she ignored those unspoken words. âIf you canât claim your insurance, you can hit me up.â Then, she nodded toward him politely and tried to leave.
However, Matthew grabbed her out of the blue. âI heard you are divorced, Amy. I also know that you have brought your daughter to live at your fatherâs place. Since elementary school, I have liked you and have been single for all these years, Amy. Will you go out with me?â
Hearing his confession, Amelie turned around and looked at him in shock. Although she was classmates with Matthew, she never knew that he had taken a liking to her.
Seeing that Amelie was silent, Matthew thought she was having second thoughts and quickly added, âDonât you worry. I wonât mind that you have a daughter. For now onward, I will treat her like my own!â
His sudden confession had caused Amelie to be dumbstruck to the point where she didnât know what to say.
âPfft!â At that moment, she snapped back to her senses when she heard a snort.
At the same time, Matthew also heard it and thought it was someone from the village. However, he was startled when he turned around and saw who it was. He saw three unfamiliar faces looking at him. The one who snorted was smirking in disdain while looking at him and Amelie in mockery. Although he was uncomfortable with the personâs gaze, he didnât say anything since he was unfamiliar with him.
Then, the person huffed and walked toward them. âWhy are you doing this, Amelie? You have divorced him, and yet you ask about his whereabouts and come all the way here.â
To be honest, Amelie had noticed the trio, but she had ignored the person because her eyes were locked on the other man and woman.
âAshton!â the woman called out, seemingly disapproving that he had said such hurtful words.
The woman was none other than Elyse. She was wearing a white dress, stunning as usual. The man beside her would naturally be Leo. Although they werenât holding hands, Elyse and Leo stood close together, giving off the sense that they were close.
Leo pursed his lips and lowered his darkened gaze. His eyebrows were furrowed as if he was in thought.
At that moment, Ashton frowned and tilted his head toward Leo and Elyseâs direction, signaling Amelie that she was being caught red-handed âDid you think that Leo would change his mind and love you back if you find some random man to confess to you? You are daydreaming! Ashton was never one to beat around the bush.
When Matthew heard his words, he was uncomfortable and blurted, âWhat are you talking about? Iâm not actingâ
After all, why would he need to act when he is the wealthiest man in the village?
However, Ashton snorted and didnât believe his words. âStop joking around. How would she be in such a remote place if she hadnât stalked us?â
