Chapter 67 Hardships
“What the hell is going on? You’d better tell me the truth!”
Lamont had deliberately lowered his voice, but traces of anger could still be vaguely heard.
“What? Now it’s your turn to teach me a lesson?” Macey shook off his hand and snorted coldly. “Don’t forget, I am your mother. You’re not qualified to question me!”
“That’s good.” Lamont was no longer friendly. Instead, he kept a distance from Macey with a cold face. “I’m asking you as a shareholder of the company. Did you instruct someone to kidnap Gina?”
He actually said this to her.
“It has nothing to do with you. There’s no need to ask so much.”
Macey didn’t want to continue wasting time on him. She wanted to turn around and leave but was stopped by Lamont.
“Did you really do it?”
Based on her reaction just now, Lamont could almost confirm that the female artist was kidnapped by his mother.
Although he was also a mercenary, he was still shocked and puzzled by such behavior. After all, Gina was a living
person.
“I told you, what I do has nothing to do with you!”
Macey increased the strength on her arm, shook off Lamont, and entered the company on her own.
“Hey!”
Amelie also wanted to go in, but she was stopped by the security guard at the door.
Unable to communicate with Macey, Amelie could only target Lamont. “You two have discussed this for such a long time. Have you come up with a conclusion?”
However, the eyes of the man in front of her looked empty. He did not respond to her question at all.
After she asked him a few more times, she still did not get any answer.
“Forget it!” Amelie turned around and glanced at Belen. “Take a few people and surround Prosperity Global. Keep an eye on everything here at all times.”
“Okay.”
Belen nodded and went to find some people.
“Mr. Whitman, you’d better send someone to keep an eye on this building. If something happens, your position will be unstable!”
“Yes, Ms. Mullen, don’t worry. I will definitely give everyone justice.” Dave wiped the cold sweat on his face and could not help but complain in his heart, how could I meet such an unlucky thing? One of them is the richest in Oakland, and the other of them is the head of the Four Great Families. I could not afford to offend either.
Dave put his hand on his badge, and the golden olive branch felt like burning now.
If this matter was not handled well, he might as well scram.
The people around gradually dispersed, and Amelie also followed Rex, preparing to leave.
“I wonder how Gina’s parents are doing now.”

Amelie lowered her head and walked forward, kicking the pebbles under her feet from time to time.
“Alright. You haven’t recovered yet. Don’t worry about other people.”
The wind was cold in the evening. Rex held Amelie a little tighter.
Seeing that she did not speak, Rex thought that she had thought things through. Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, Amelie shook her head again. “I’m still worried. Wait for me to call Belen.”
When the two of them returned to the car, Rex sat quietly in the driver’s seat and waited for her to finish the call.
“Belen said,” Amelie put down the hand holding the phone, “she has already communicated with her parents. They are anxious. But her family is poor. They can only take the train here.”
After that, she lowered her head and fiddled with the small ornament on the phone case.
Because the lights were not turned on in the car, Rex could only Amelie’s hair against the light emitted by the lamps on the road, casting a shadow on her face.
After a long time, Amelie sighed in the dark, “I asked Belen to buy two plane tickets for her parents. Belen said that they insisted they do not need it. They said that they had already bought a train ticket. They don’t want to bother us anymore.
“Rex…”
“Yes?”
“Why are they so pitiful?”
Because she lived under the sun, she always thought that there were birds and flowers everywhere, and the places she could not see were full of hardships.
Rex did not speak. He had been a spy for so many years and had witnessed all kinds of hardships in the world.
He had long been trained to have a cold heart, but when faced with Amelie’s question, he would still be struck dumb.
“Don’t think so much. Now we should find out their purpose of capturing the girl as soon as possible and where she is. This is the greatest comfort to her parents.”
Rex reached out to rub her hair and started the Bugatti Veyron to rush home.
As soon as the two arrived home, Amelie wanted to go upstairs to rest with a tired face. She didn’t even look at the dishes that were carefully prepared on the table.
“What’s wrong?”
Daron was about to go upstairs and call her to come down when he was stopped by Rex.
“Don’t go. She is in a bad mood today.”
She was in a bad mood on her first day at the company!
The other three at home immediately became nervous.
“What happened?”
“Who made her angry?”
“Is it you?”
Rex pushed the three away and came to the dining table. “I want to eat. It’s because of Prosperity Global.” Chapter 67 Nardships

“It’s Prosperity Global again?”
The three of them asked in unison, shocking Rex so much that he quickly put his finger to his mouth. “Lower your voice! Don’t let her hear you. She will feel unhappy again.”
Only then did they lower their voices and start whispering.
However, Amelie who was upstairs had already heard their discussion.
After she entered the room, she fell on the bed, and the soft bed wrapped her up like a big hug.
However, when she thought that Gina’s parents might still be on the train and could not even book a berth and only
sit or stand for one night, Amelie’s heart could not help but ache.
She wondered, what can I do for this girl?
There was a flash of inspiration in her mind. How could she have forgotten that she was a hacker again?
She could investigate who Gina had interacted with these days and whether she offended someone in Prosperity Global or Macey.
Otherwise, Prosperity Global would not have used this despicable method to kidnap her.
Amelie bounced up from the bed and opened the bedroom door with a “bang“, but she did not expect that all her four brothers were standing outside the door.
“You… What are you doing?”
Amelie was shocked and stared at the four of them in surprise.
“We thought about it for a while and thought that you still need to eat dinner. We wanted to ask you to go downstairs
for dinner.” Tyler smiled and handed over a glass of milk. “After all, you have to be full to have the energy to continue working hard, right?”
