Chapter 94 Ambition
“Don’t worry about it. This has nothing to do with us. Let’s wait and see.”
Eden could not bear to watch any longer. He turned off the TV.
Tomorrow was the day to select for the public performance. Amelie had no time to care about other things. She went back to her room early to rest.
The next day, Amelie was awakened by a call.
“Hello?”
She fumbled for her phone and put it beside her ear.
**
“Ms. Mullen!” It was Belen. She was full of joy early in the morning. “Have you seen the
news?”
“What?”
Amelie got up from the bed and turned on the computer.
She did not expect that the first thing she saw was a piece of breaking news about Prosperity Global.
“The biggest shareholder of Prosperity Global is suspected to be guilty of murder and smuggling. All the entertainers in this company will be removed from the public performance in Oakland.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Amelie read out the news word by word.
“Really?”
“Yes, so there is no need to hold a selection today,” Belen replied with a smile.
Amelie thought, great.
Amelie let out a long breath. She did not expect that these four people would finally be able to participate in the public performance.
Miriam came to the company early in the morning. She rushed into Lamont’s office, but she bumped into Macey. Macey was searching for something inside.
“M–Ms. Aylward.”
Miriam was so scared that she stuttered, and her eyes were full of panic.
Macey looked a little embarrassed.
“What are you doing here?”
“Uh… I’m here to get a document.”
“Oh.” Macey nodded thoughtfully and moved aside from the desk. “Come and take it.”
Miriam stepped forward, pretending to look for something in the drawer.
“Miriam, you’ve done quite well.” Macey glanced at her from the corner of her eyes.
“Thank you.”
Miriam felt a chill run down her spine. If Macey could harm her son, there was nothing
she did not dare to do.
However, other than agreeing with Macey, Miriam couldn’t say anything else.
“What do you think of my relationship with Lamont?”
“Ah?”
Faced with such a strange question, Miriam was a little confused.
“It’s pretty good.”
www.
Miriam could only say so. She thought, what if Macey decides to deal with me?
“You’re right.” Macey didn’t say anything else. Miriam randomly picked a document.
However, when Miriam wanted to go to Lamont’s office again at night, she found that the lock on the door was changed.
She knew it was Macey who did it.
Miriam’s heart sank. Lamont’s office was located on the 30th floor. She couldn’t enter through the window.
However, if Miriam forced it open, Macey would find fault with her.
Miriam thought for a long time. There was no one else. It was dark everywhere. She could almost hear her heartbeat.
She thought of what Lamont had said to her.
Lamont trusted Miriam, so he asked her to do this job. Miriam couldn’t disappoint him.
Miriam gritted her teeth and ran downstairs to the warehouse to find a pair of pliers.
Looking at the heavy lock, Miriam closed her eyes and smashed it with a bang. The lock
shattered.
After cleaning everything on the ground, Miriam groped her way in and took out the note that recorded the IP address from under the desk.
Walking to the fax machine, Miriam sent an “SOS” symbol to the address on the note.
After doing all this, Miriam found that her hands were shaking.
Would it be useful?
She only hoped that Lamont could come out quickly to resolve this crisis.
At the Mullen’s villa.
“Father, don’t you find the accident at the interview very strange?”
Amelie curled up in the rocking chair with her slender fingers quickly tapping on the
laptop.
She hesitated for a day and decided to tell Eden her thoughts.
“What’s wrong?”
Eden glanced at her, put the pen on the table, and sat down next to Amelie. “Tell me what you are thinking.”
Amelie turned off the computer and told him her guesses in detail.
“So, you think Macey and Willard joined hands to send Lamont to prison?” Eden touched the stubble on his chin thoughtfully. He was interested. “Then what do you
want to do?”
“I just want to know what is their purpose. Once Lamont is put into prison, the biggest beneficiary is Macey. She will be investigated. But as long as they survive this period of time, the property of the Byron family and the Aylward family will fall into their hands.”
Amelie said so much in one breath, but she still had something else on her mind.
She held her breath, and her blood was boiling because of this secret idea.
“Yes, that makes sense.”
Eden had been in the business field for many years. He could read people’s minds. So he could tell Amelie’s hidden ambition at a glance.
But Eden would not point it out. He was waiting for Amelie to say it herself.
Eden looked at her with an encouraging gaze.
Finally, Amelie let out a long breath and looked at him with a determined gaze. “I want to do what Grandpa did not do back then. I want to participate in the competition! The Mullen family can become the head of the families.”
“Good!”
Eden patted the armrest of the armchair excitedly, and his slightly aged face showed
some vitality.
“I have always had such ambition. Unfortunately, I promised your grandfather that I would keep a low profile. If you could fulfill such a wish for me, I have no regrets.”
Amelie did not expect to receive such strong support from her father, and the agitation.
in her heart grew even stronger.
“But once Macey and Willard succeed, the combined power of the two families cannot be underestimated,” Amelie raised her worries calmly.
“Therefore, I want to participate in this matter. I want to know the truth behind this!”
“With Lamont’s help, the merging of the two families must not be so smooth.” Eden
nodded, but he soon became worried.
“The news reports say that Lamont is involved in smuggling. Whether it is true or false, he and Willard are not good people. You must be careful when investigating.”
Eden lowered his head and pondered for a moment. Then he looked up with a serious face. “Ask Sergio to come back and help you in this matter.”
