Chapter 96 An Uninvited Guest

Lamont raised his head and glanced at Amelie. An imperceptible smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

“Alright, I’ve signed the bailing deal.”

Lamont pushed one of the contracts over, but he did not touch the other one.

Amelie did not take it. Instead, she raised her eyebrows slightly. “What? Why not sign the other?”

Lamont shrugged his shoulders. He knew in his heart that he had to accept the tyrannical terms of the second contract. He signed his name on the last page of the contract with his pen.

“Very good.” Amelie nodded in satisfaction. After arranging the documents, she put them into his bag. “Wait a moment. I will give the deal to the person in charge to take a look. You can leave after the confirmation.‘

“Yes.”

That night, people passing by the police station might see a man and a woman entering a Rolls–Royce Silver Ghost.

What was going on?

What was going on?

Miriam curled up on the sofa. Wrapped in a thick blanket, she stared at the phone screen

with a pale face.

She stared at the text sent by Macey. “Were you the one who opened the door to

Lamont’s office?”

Since she was holding onto her phone tightly, a thin layer of sweat appeared on

Miriam’s hand, which turned sticky and uncomfortable.

Ding.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

It was a call from Macey.

Miriam didn’t dare to pick it up. The crisp sound of the ringing filled the empty room. It

was quite strange.

Finally, the ringing stopped.

Miriam closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the chair in deep thought.

Macey would find her sooner or later. It was not a good idea to hide at home all the time.

She took her phone and bought a train ticket online.

She could at least choose to run away.

After buying the next morning’s train ticket to her hometown, Miriam began to pack

her clothes.

After working for more than half an hour, Miriam straightened her aching back and prepared to throw away the bag of trash at the door.

Unexpectedly, a tall figure appeared as soon as she opened the door.

“Ah! Help! Help!”

Miriam screamed and threw the trash bag in her hand at the man. She pressed against the door handle with the other hand to close the door, but the man outside had extended

one leg in.

Some neighbors peeked out their heads, but none of them came out.

“It’s me.”

Miriam heard a familiar voice when her heart was still thumping.

Is it … Mr. Byron?

Miriam immediately quieted down and looked outside through the crack in the door.

It was indeed Lamont.

Lamont had just been hit by a bag of trash. He was now standing outside with a gloomy face.

“Mr. Byron! You’re released!”

Miriam quickly opened the door and looked at Lamont with surprise and joy. Then, she squatted down awkwardly and picked up the trash bag outside the door. “I’m sorry, Mr. Byron. I thought that Ms. Aylward’s people wanted to harm me, so…”

“It’s fine. Let me in and we can talk.”

Lamont walked in and sat down in a corner of the sofa.

“Mr. Byron, would you like to drink something?”

Since she was packing things up, the room was a mess. Miriam nervously rubbed her

hands.

“No need.” Lamont simply looked around and said, “I can’t let my mother know that I was released. You should know a reliable housing agent, right? Help me rent a flat for

me to rest.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Ah, yes. Where exactly is the location you want?”

Miriam checked the address book. Just as she was about to contact a familiar agent, Lamont’s words immediately stunned her.

“Near the company. It’s convenient.”

The building of the Byron Group?

It was in the downtown area where the rent was high. The agent she knew did not do business with the real estate there.

“Then I’ll try to ask.”

Lamont lightly nodded and got up to leave.

“Then where are you going now?”

“Hotel. By the way, have you done everything I asked you to do?”

“Ah?” Miriam was stunned. Wasn’t Lamont released because of her?

“Yes.”

She told Lamont everything that had happened at that time in detail.

“Okay, I got it.”

Lamont took out his sunglasses and mask from his pocket and put them on. He left in a

hurry.

After checking in at a random hotel, Lamont took out a newly–bought computer.

Didn’t Miriam send a message? Three days were long enough for them to send people over. How could there be no movement until now?

After checking the online environment, Lamont entered a website.

“Isn’t the message received?”

Within a minute after he sent the message, there appeared dozens of replies instantly.

“Mr. Byron! Are you alright?”

“Jeff has been in Oakland recently. We thought he would go over to help.”

“We haven’t received any news from you today. We were just about to send more people

to Oakland.”

Lamont stared at the name on the screen and fell into deep thought.

Did Jeff also come to Oakland?

The sun was bright.

Amelie was looking at the weekly reports submitted by various departments. Belen suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

“Ms. Mullen, the lobby said that a man wants to see you.”

“Who? Is there an appointment?”

Amelie didn’t even raise her head. She had encountered things like this many times.

The fans of the company’s artists used the excuse of cooperation to sneak into the

company to meet their idols.

“No, that man seems to have come prepared. He doesn’t sound like an ordinary

person.”

Amelie raised an eyebrow and was immediately interested.

Since she took over Prosperity Global, there had been no new business opportunities or investors. She relied on old shareholders. It was rare for a new patron to come. How could she not see him?

Soon, a well–dressed man was led in.

“Ms. Mullen.”

After entering the office, the man gracefully bowed and sat down on the side.

“Jeff Capet.”

Amelie took the business card he handed over. However, the badge with icons of lions and eagles on his chest suddenly attracted her attention.

He was a member of the Capet family?

The Capet family was not famous in America. Only those who engaged in overseas trade would know about this ancient foreign century–old family.

The Capet family who engaged in financial investment had always been known for their

sharp eyes.

As long as they took a fancy to a company, the company could much more likely become the best in the industry under their powerful financial support.

However, Amelie did not think that Starry Sea Entertainment was worth their great

efforts now.

As if noticing the doubtful look in Amelie’s eyes, Jeff smiled warmly. “Ms. Mullen,

you’re smart.”

“Mr. Capet, what brought you here?”

Jeff Capet looked like an elegant young man when he smiled, but Amelie could still feel a slight pressure.
