    Chapter 58 Negotiation


    Tick…


    Tick…


    Amelie looked at the drenched Lamont in front of her, who was dripping water from his hair onto the


    floor, creating a particrly crisp sound.


    “Are you … alright?” Amelie was torn between whether to hand him a towel or not.


    Lamont, however, remained silent. From his heavy breathing, Amelie could tell that he was burning with


    anger now.


    “That’s really impressive.”


    In almost an instant, Lamont stood up and came to her side.


    Amelie felt his icy–cold hand grab her neck from behind, pinching her flesh like an eagle catching a


    chick.


    She shivered and bounced up from her seat as if she had been electrocuted, grabbing the cloth lying


    on the back of the chair and throwing it at him.


    “Lamont, stop looking at me like that! If it weren’t for your harassment, our rtionship wouldn’t have


    be so tense.”


    Thinking of how Lamont had pestered her just now, Amelie immediately regained her confidence.


    Lamont ignored her and instead started wiping the water stains off his designer suit with a


    handkerchief.


    He was imposing without anger, which might be the best way to describe his current state.


    “Forget it. Let’s talk about Rick’s matter.” Lamont tried to suppress his anger and make his voice sound


    gentle.

    “There’s nothing to talk about.” Amelie retorted irritably, “I just took off your mask and made everyone


    see your true face.”


    Lamont didn’t waste any words and took out a check from his suit pocket. “Here, you can fill in any


    amount you want. Just make Ricke out and rify that he intentionally smeared Prosperity


    Global.”


    Amelie stared at the check on the table in disbelief and thought, what is he doing? Is he looking down


    at the Mullen family?


    How could my family stoop to such little money?


    “Lamont, is this all you’ve got?” She grabbed the check and tore it to shreds before throwing it in front


    of Lamont. “Do you know how long Rohan has been set aside because of Prosperity Global’s


    crackdown? You think his lost years can bepensated with just this insignificant amount?


    “And those artists you used all kinds of despicable means to poach from Starry Sea Entertainment.


    Because of the existence of people like you, the entertainment industry has been murky for so long!”


    “Are you done yet?” Lamont looked at her impatiently.


    “No! I’m not done yet! Listen! Improperpetition is absolutely not allowed at any time and any ce!


    “If you don’t give me a clear and positive answer today, I will report Prosperity Global to the Industry


    and Commerce Bureau and let them thoroughly investigate how many hidden irregrities the so–


    called biggest entertainmentpany has!”


    “Don’t be so ridiculous!” Lamont threw the towel he had been clutching onto the table and walked a few


    steps closer to Amelie.


    “What value does an entertainmentpany have if it cannot even provide good resources? Our


    company just provided a better tform for those artists. What’s wrong with that?”


    Amelie almostughed out of anger.


    She had never encountered such a person who had a robber’s mentality but thought he was


    benevolent.


    “Since that, why don’t you just acquire all the entertainmentpanies on the market and gather all the


    artists in yourpany!”


    Lamont replied nonchntly, “That’s exactly what I want.”


    “Alright, Lamont. Since you’re not here to make amends today, there’s nothing to talk about between


    us.” After saying that, Amelie picked up her bag and was about to leave.


    However, Lamont’s hand sped her hand tightly.


    “Whether you agree or not, you have to help me with this matter since you caused it!” Lamont’s stern


    voice was like thunder in her ears!


    “You think you…”


    Just when Amelie was about to turn around and continue to confront him, Lamont’s face was already in


    front of her, and their noses were already pressed together.


    “Me what? Keep going on.”


    Lamont stared at her flushed cheeks and felt extremely pleased in his heart. The matter of having just


    been sshed with water had already been thrown to the back of his mind.


    Yuck!


    Amelie had her ways of dealing with people like him. She directly spat on his face.


    “Shame on you!”


    Amelie looked at him with disgust. But just as she was about to leave, a brilliant idea popped into her


    head.


    “Actually, there is room for negotiation on this matter.”


    Lamont raised his eyebrows and wondered, I thought you had changed and no longer loved money.


    But now it seems that you are still like those vulgar businessmen and could easily be bought with


    money.


    His interest in her plummeted when he thought of that.


    “Sorry, I only brought one check. But if you don’t mind, maybe you can pick it up and put it together.”


    Lamont shrugged and sat down with an indifferent expression, his two legs casually crossed.


    He thought I wanted more money?


    Do I look like someone who needs money?


    “Don’t be that ridiculous. I’m not interested in your check at all.” Amelie curled her lips in disdain and


    sat down opposite him.


    “Three monthster, there will be arge–scale performance in Oand. You also know it, right?”


    “How do you know that?” Lamont immediately dropped his indifferent expression. The organizers kept


    this matter confidential, and all the programs were predetermined. It was not easy for them to get this


    information and secure a spot.


    “It seems that you know about it. Well, my condition is simple. If yourpany gives up that spot, then


    I’ll consider helping you.”


    “That’s impossible.”


    Lamont rejected it without even thinking about it. When Macey secured the spot, she reminded him to


    select the most outstanding artist in thepany to perform. She hoped that Prosperity Global could


    take a firm foothold in the Oand market with this performance.


    “Don’t reject so quickly,” Amelie was not surprised by his reaction. “On one side is the reputation of


    yourpany, and on the other side is just a small performance opportunity. I believe you can’t tell


    which is more important, right?”


    Facing Lamont’s probing gaze, she fearlessly met it.


    When did she be so courageous?


    And her family, the Mullen family. It surprised me again and again. But guess what? I will not be


    manipted. I will soon have a crucial piece of information.


    “Let me think about it for a few days. I can’t make the decision alone.”
