Chapter 90 Amelie Tells Lamont the Details
“Ah?”
Belen was stunned for a moment and suddenly reacted. She said, “By the way, I was dealing with Gina’s matters on the day Rex had his surgery, so I wasn’t there.”
“Well, I’m afraid he won’t be able to go back to work. His condition after the surgery doesn’t allow it.”
Amelie told Belen about Rex’s situation briefly.
“Well…”
It looked like Belen was in a dilemma. Obviously, she did not know who she should be if she did go to the hospital to take care of Rex.
“It’s fine. Just sit on it. If you find it uncomfortable, I won’t force you.”
When Amelie got back to her office, she saw that many papers from Gina’s lawsuit were still piled up on her desk.
Sasha was right. There was no way to get the most severe punishment for Macey solely in Starry Sea Entertainment’s interests.
Amelie stared at the phone on the desk. After hesitating for a moment, she called
Lamont.
“What is it?”
“It’s about your mother.”
“What do you mean?” Lamont glanced at Miriam, who was busy organizing documents not far away. He got up and went outside the office.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know about the feud between the Byron family and the
Aylward family.”
Lamont’s heart sank and thought about all the clues that had come up in recent days about his mother’s relationship with Willard. There was more to their relationship than
it seemed.
“How about we meet up in the afternoon? We will talk then.
“OK.”
In the end, the two agreed to meet at a dessert shop not far from Amelie’s office.
“Mr. Byron.”
Lamont had just put down his phone when Miriam’s voice suddenly sounded behind
him.
“Mr. Byron, Ms. Aylward just asked me to remind you to prepare for the interview in a
few days.”
“I see.”
Lamont was doubtful.
Macey always went to the interview with Prosperity Global on her own. He didn’t know why this time was different.
At four o’clock in the afternoon, two people wearing sunglasses entered a dessert shop along the street one after the other.
After the two sat down by the window, a waiter immediately came forward to ask what
they wanted.
Lamont subconsciously glanced at Amelie and took the initiative to order, “A cup of coffee, a blueberry mousse, and a cup of fruit tea.”
“Sure. Please wait a moment.”
The blueberry mousse was one of Amelie’s favorite desserts, and she was kind of
surprised that he remembered.
“You may tell me now. What’s the connection between my family and the Aylward family?”
“Although I don’t know why your father or grandfather didn’t mention it to you, what I can confirm is that the Byron family and the Aylward family had a deep feud in the
rivalry of the four families decades ago.”
Lamont’s face sank. He thought, I never told her my father’s last words, and my
grandfather probably wouldn’t have told her anything so private.
I’m amazed by Amelie’s ability to gather information, and I’m interested in the specific grievances between the two families at the same time.
Then Amelie told Lamont everything Eden told her in detail. Of course, some parts were ignored by her deliberately.
Lamont’s expression changed from curiosity and doubt to an inscrutable grimness.
“Why are you telling me this?”
Lamont lowered his head and took a sip, staring at Amelie with interest.
Amelie was speechless for a moment. She thought, I can’t just tell you that I want you to team up with me against your mother, can I?
“No reason. I just feel that as the person involved, you need to know the truth more
than I do.”
Lamont did not respond. The scene fell silent.
He thought, if she is telling the truth, the two might take action against me at any time.
Wait, what did Miriam just say to me earlier?
I got it now. If I’m not wrong, they have been planning on getting rid of me at the
interview.
Yes. Everything connects now.
Bit by bit, Macey snatched away the Byron family’s property. After I found out the truth, she was flustered and exasperated. She went to the private club to meet with Willard, and now, she informs me about attending the interview.
Macey, you’ve really thought it through, haven’t you?
Amelie had been observing Lamont’s reaction the entire time. She had said enough, and there was no need to let him see through her intentions.
“I’ve already reminded you. You know what to do next better than me. I won’t say more.” She got up and left the dessert shop, leaving behind the blueberry mousse, which she had eaten only a bite of, and the fruit tea, which was untouched.
After the meeting, Lamont never contacted Amelie, but she was sure that he would do
something on his own.
A week had passed.
“Amelie, get up!”
Amelie, who was admiring her new dress in front of the mirror, hurriedly opened the
door for Aaron.
“Wow!”
Aaron’s eyes instantly lit up.
In front of him, Amelie was dressed in a pearl–white dress. The slight pearl light of the dress gave her a hazy glow. Her long, slightly curly hair fell casually on her shoulders, her bangs were tucked sideways, and she carried two makeup brushes.
“Well, well. I was wondering why you were still upstairs. It turns out that you are hiding here appreciating yourself.”
“So what? Aaron, you look amazing as well!”
Amelie pouted unhappily.
They both chose to wear white. Aaron’s tall and straight figure made his white suit less soft, and the gold rose brooch gave him a noble air.
“Alright, alright. Continue putting on makeup. Lunch will be served, and we just need to show up. There’s plenty of time.”
Aaron consciously closed the bedroom door.
Although it was called an interview, it was actually a gathering for the heads of various big showbiz companies, providing a platform for communication and interaction.
After another half an hour, there was a click of the door lock upstairs. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Amelie’s brothers sitting in the living room all looked in the direction of the rotating escalator.
Soon, Amelie, who was even more beautiful than earlier, appeared in their sight.
“Stop looking at me, all of you!”
Amelie, who had gone downstairs in a serious manner, immediately blushed when she
met their eyes. She ran back to her bedroom at once.
The men looked at each other and burst out laughing at the same time.
“What’s so funny?”
Amelie poked her head out from upstairs and glared at them.
“Amelie has already become a mature adult before we realize it,” Daron joked.
“Oh? Really? Let me see our little girl.”
As they spoke, Eden and Celia came out of the study one after another.
Their eyes lit up when they saw Amelie.
“Amelie, come here! Let me look at you.”
Celia trotted over, held Amelie’s face, and observed it. Celia couldn’t even move her eyes
away.
“I’m so glad. My daughter is becoming more and more ladylike. I’m sure you will be more outstanding than your brothers!”
