Chapter 284


    Having bottled up his emotions for several days, it reached


    its peak after visiting the Lamont family, and finally erupted at this moment.


    The man’s handsome and refined face was twisted, and his eyes


    became hideously terrifying as he vented his anger on Leah’s face with punch after punch.


    It was all because of Leah, all because of the Burke family!


    Otherwise, he would’ve been the Lamont family’s son–in–


    been his!


    But now, he had nothing!


    He took out all his resentment on Leah, beating her until she wailed in agony. And the more Nics he


    ard her cries, the more excited he became! After beating up Leah, Nics ran away!


    He sold the earrings he’d stolen from Leah, which were meant for Norah, for thousands of dors, foun


    d a house to live in temporarily, and nned to permanently sever ties with the Burke family, find a job,


    and start over.


    However, every time he went for an interview, as soon as the other party saw his resume, they rejected


    him without even giving him a chance for self–introduction.


    After trying severalpanies, he began to feel that something was wrong. He asked a friend who was


    doing well and found out that the Lamont family had given orders, forbidding allpanies in J City


    from hiring him.


    Upon hearing this news, Nics froze for a moment, his face turning ashen!


    He finally realized how the Burke family was wiped out!


    On Wednesday, Estelle didn’t have to go to Midnight Bar and remembered that it had been a


    long time since she saw Max, so she decided to visit Vi del Sol.


    Calvin loved Emily’s caramel cookies, so Estelle went to the dessert store first.


    As she


    entered the store, she smelled the creamy fragrance. Estelle ordered herself a pudding and a choct


    e cake.


    Emily brought the desserts over with a sneaky grin, “I added ayer of ice cream for you.”


    Estelle gratefully looked at her, grabbed a spoon, and digged in.


    The store wasn’t busy in the morning, so Emily chatted with Estelle for a while. As they were talking, a


    short–haired girl came over to deliver pudding, smiling at Estelle, “Emily, is this your friend?”


    Emily introduced her with a smile, “Yeah, my best friend, Estelle!”


    She then introduced Amiee to Estelle, “This is our shop manager, Amiee.”


    Estelle nodded at Amiee, who acknowledged her cooly, “I have to get back to work. You two chat!”


    With that, Amiee turned and walked away with her tray.


    Emily whispered, “Isn’t our manager cool?”


    Estelle nced at Amiee, a girl about twenty–five years old, very thin


    and tall with short hair, indeed giving off a cool vibe.


    Emily continued, “She’s amazing, my senior from

    college. By the time I went to college, she was already a legend on campus. It’s said that a top hacker


    tried


    to break into our school’sputer system, but Amiee had already set up a security. Not only did th


    e hacker fail to prate, but he was also got exposed


    on the school website by her! Since then, Amiee has be a campus legend!”


    Estelle turned to look at Amiee again, her fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, her profile cold and


    nonchnt.


    Estelle asked, “She has graduated, right? Howe instead of doing her major rted job, she b


    es your store manager?”


    Emily shrugged, “I’m not sure. She graduated two years ago and it seems that she has never been eng


    aged in theputing industry. But, I heard her family is very wealthy.”

    Extolle nodded qutelly, not asking any more questions.
