CHAPTER 5 - I Am Back

Leo saw her walking towards the showroom and couldn't help but follow her. After making his way through the crowd to get behind her, he reached out and tapped her on the shoulder. 

The woman turned around but it was a completely unfamiliar face. 

“What do you want?” The other person didn't know him, but upon seeing his luxurious attire, she immediately smiled warmly. “Do you want my number?” She said taking out her phone.

Leo's face darkened, and he coldly said, “Sorry I got the wrong person.” After speaking he left without hesitation.

The woman was stunned and angrily cursed. “Are you crazy? You mistook someone on the street. Are you blind?”

However, the only response she received was Leo's merciless back.

Not far away, Amelia, wearing the same coat as the woman, stood in the crowd, watching Leo's back with a cold smile. 

“Leo, six years ago I treated you like a treasure, but you didn't cherish it. I will never give you the chance to hurt me again.” 

She put on her mask and turned to walk towards the showroom. 

Soon, the event began. Models on stage kept showcasing various products and Amelia sat in the back watching indifferently without any emotions.

She caught sight of the two people who betrayed her and felt a sudden tightening in her chest.

Front row.

Sophia turned to the side and smiled at Leo, “Babe, this is the design I hired a designer from abroad to create for you. The styles and colors are both Innovative and bold. What do you think?” 

Leo's face showed no expression as he nodded perfunctorily. “Not bad.”

Sophia felt his attitude was a bit cold, but she didn't dare say anything and could only smile appropriately.

“My idea this time is to seize the first market share of this summer with this design. I hope it will be successful.”

Leo didn't respond. 

His gaze was somewhat wandering, not even on the dazzling clothes on the stage. There was only one thought in his mind. 

‘Was the figure I just saw Amelia? It's impossible Amelia is already dead.’

That woman not only killed Damien Jones but also eloped with her lover on the night she signed the divorce agreement, making him the laughingstock of the whole city.

How could he think of her again?

However, the more he tried not to think about it, the clearer Amelia's smiling face came to his mind.

Sophia pushed his arms. “Leo, the show is over. I'm going up to speak. Are you coming with me?”

Leo's face didn't look good, and his voice was cold. “You go ahead, I'm not going.”

Sophia's eyes showed obvious disappointment, but she could only smile faintly. 

“Okay then.”

She took the designer and went up the stage. 

At this point, it was the official procedure of the main creators to give a speech, and the corresponding content had been set up on the big screen behind them.

Sophia spoke gracefully about the design, concept, experience, and inspiration of the works.

But then, there was a commotion in the crowd. She didn't pay attention thinking that she had spoken too well and had resonated with everyone.

However, as the commotion grew louder, people began throwing mineral water bottles, paper balls, and other debris onto the stage.

Sophia suddenly panicked. “What's going on? What's wrong with everyone?”

Sophia glanced in Leo's direction, only to see his gaze fixedly staring behind her, and she quickly turned around.

The big screen displayed several lines of large characters. “New plagiarism, Murderer.”

“Ah…” Sophia screamed in fright and fell to the ground. 

Then the screen switched to a woman drowning in the sea.

“Sophia, save me! Help me!”

The woman in the scene kept struggling in the water, her voice becoming more and more desperate.

“Sophia save me! help me!”

Sophia felt her brain was about to explode. She screamed desperately, “Who put up the video? Turn it off! Quickly turn it off.”

And she rushed backstage. 

However, there were hundreds of media reporters on the scene who wouldn't let her go and quickly stopped her.

“Miss Sophia, what do those lines of text mean? Can even a big brand like Butterfly plagiarize?”

“There was a woman in the video who kept shouting for help, who is she?”

“Miss Sophia…”

Sophia felt cold sweat all over her body, and countless terrifying thoughts rushed into her mind.

She couldn't bear it anymore and said, “How will I know? I don't even know her.”

She pushed through the crowd and ran towards Leo in a panic, only to find that his seat was already empty, and he had walked towards the door.

She panicked and followed him.

“Leo, listen to me, this is an accident, not what you think.”

Leo stopped and stared at her sharply, “Then what is it?”

“It's…” 

Just then, the picture on the big screen changed again. Three powerful and concise blood characters appeared on the screen.

“I AM BACK.”

Sophia screamed and was about to fall, but fortunately, she was supported by Leo.

She murmured, “it's impossible, how could this be…”

Sophia's face turned pale and Leo's face didn't look good either. He let go of Sophia and ordered coldly, “Lisa, take care of Director Jones. If there is anything, wait for me to come back.” 

Sophia panicked, “Leo! Leo, don't go…”

Leo ignored her and quickly left the venue. 

After getting in the car, he ordered James, “Immediately block all exits and search for Amelia's whereabouts with all your might.”

James was stunned and somewhat incredulous. “Young master, do you mean your wife?”

Leo sneered.

The figure he saw outside the fashion show earlier was not wrong. It was Amelia Smith.

After lying low for six years and causing him to be ashamed for six years, Amelia, what do you want by coming back now?

Amelia didn't expect Leo's actions to be so fast. She originally wanted to hide her identity and play with them slowly, but it seemed impossible. Since that's the case let's see who is stronger.

She quickly took off the wig on her head, changed into the clothes and exaggerated makeup she had prepared long ago, and finally threw everything into the trash can before walking out.

Outside the body guards were guarding the exits and conducting checks one by one.

When it was Amelia's turn, the two guards were shocked by her makeup.

“What's on your face?”

Amelia rolled her eyes.

“It's stage makeup. Do you guys have any problem? Why don't you learn more about fashion? This is the most popular makeup this year.”

The two bodyguards showed a disgusted expression, they impatiently waved their hands and Amelia left with a swagger.

Not far away, Leo was sitting in his car. The car window was only half open, he looked at the woman who walked out of the fashion show with a twist, frowning.

Although the woman had very exaggerated makeup and was nothing like Amelia. But his intuition told him that person was Amelia.

He commanded in a deep voice, “James, follow that car in front.”
