Chapter 84 A Contrast
“Hehe.”
Lamont chuckled and ced a hand on Macey’s shoulder. “My good mother, how could
I make things difficult for you?”
He was smiling, but he was mean.
Macey thought bitterly in her heart, but she still maintained a kind smile on her face.
“I have already chosen the person.”
Lamont found a person’s information on theptop. “He will assist you in thiswsuit. I guarantee that
you will win.”
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
Guarantee?
How could there be such a good thing?
Macey looked at theptop screen in doubt. However, after browsing through the person’s CV, she
finally understood why Lamont was so confident.
“Don’t forget what you promised me.”
Lamont closed theptop with a sound and walked to Macey’s ear. After gently saying
so, he strode away.
The next day, Macey, as she promised, transferred the money into Lamont’s personal
ount.
“Mr. Byron…”
Miriam carefully stood beside Lamont and looked at him from time to time. “What can I do for you?”
The man in front of her did not speak. Instead, he stared at the nkptop screen and tapped
rhythmically on the wooden table.
Tap.
Tap.
Miriam’s heart trembled each time he tapped.
“Do you know why my mother sent you beside me?”
Miriam’s eyes were somewhat evasive. She didn’t expect Lamont to ask such a question. “What are
you saying, Mr. Byron? What does it have to do with your mother?”
Lamont opened a folder on the table and ced it in front of Miriam.
It was detailed evidence of the connection between Miriam and Macey that he had
collected.
“Well…”
For a moment, Miriam was so nervous that she didn’t know where to put her hands. Her body also
twisted unnaturally. “Mr. Byron, I…”
“You don’t have to exin.”
Lamont interrupted her and leaned back in his chair. He looked at her frivolously. “You
are useless. You are a terrible spy. Why would I leave you by my side?”
Miriam faced his anger nkly. Tears rolled in her eyes, but they did not fall.
“Why are you crying at this point?”
As if angered by her tears, Lamont rose from his chair and faced Miriam. His low voice came out of his
throat and entered Miriam’s ears. “Now, tell me you are useless,
loudly!”
“Huh?”
Miriam’s eyes were full of doubt and confusion, but more of fear.
“Say it!”
Lamont tightly gripped her neck.
The intense pain spread from her neck to her whole body, slowly eroding her mind.
“Okay, okay, kaff, kaff…”
Miriam pushed away Lamont’s hand and timidly stood to the side.
For a long time, she didn’t do anything.
Tap.
Tap.
The tapping began again. Miriam got nervous.
“I… I am useless.”
“Louder. Didn’t you eat?” Lamont stretched out his leg and kicked the table leg in front
of him, causing Miriam to tremble in fear.
“I… I am useless!”
“Louder!”
“I am useless! I am useless!”
Miriam closed her eyes tightly. As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Why?
Why did he have to humiliate her like this?
Fear and resentment gradually reced the love that had filled her heart.
After saying “I am useless” countless times, Miriam finally heard Lamont’s voice again. “Alright, stop.”
What surprised her was that Lamont was no longer as scary as before. Instead, he reached out to her
amiably.
Miriam put her hand on his cautiously and then was pulled into his warm arms.
“Sorry, was I too harsh on you just now?”
“Huh?”
Miriam felt her nose sour, and her heart was filled with grievances.
Wasn’t he angry at her just now? Why was he now gentle again?
Lamont skillfully wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and pulled out a piece of tissue to wipe
her nose. After she calmed down a little, he spoke with a helpless
expression.
“s, I was also worried when I saw how careless you were.
“You have been by my side for quite some time. I admire your talent and ability, but either you don’t let
me find out your true identity, or you leave immediately after I find out. Now you put me in a difficult
position.”
Did he say he admires me?
Aplicated emotion surged in Miriam’s heart.
Must I leave him? I can prove that I am even better.
Lamont had long since read her mind. So he put on a regretful appearance and waved his hand.
“Forget it, it’s not realistic to hope that you will betray my mother. You should leave. I don’t want to
make things difficult for you.”
“No!”
As expected, she took the bait.
Miriam immediately interrupted him, “Mr. Byron, I can! If I can work by your side, I will fulfill my greatest
value. Let me stay.”
“You are providing my mother information. How can I keep you?”
“I can betray Ms. Aylward! I can convey the question that Ms. Aylward wants me to monitor you. It is up
to you to decide how I should reply. Please, Mr. Byron.”
Miriam thought that she had left a deep impression on Lamont, but she did not expect that she had
already been swept into an even bigger vortex.
“Really?”
“Yeah!”
Miriam nodded affirmatively.
“How are you going to prove it to me?” Lamont spread out his hands, indicating that he
needed evidence.
“Well…”
Miriam lowered her head and pondered for a moment. As if she had made a great decision, she turned
on her phone and ced it in front of Lamont. “This morning, Ms.
Aylward just told me to prevent you from getting too close with the president of Starry Sea
Entertainment. And she asked to report to her at any time…”
Looking at the phone, Lamont did not look at the chat. Instead, he returned it to
Miriam. “I believe in you.”
I believe in you.
What an intimate sentence.
Only people who had a very close rtionship would say the words “I believe in you“.
However, what happened next surprised Miriam even more. Lamont actually kept her
and talked to her a lot.
He said his father died early and his mother’s rtionship with him had always been
very stiff.
Many people could not understand the bitterness of running a big family.
He had never met a woman he liked at such an old age.
Lamont had told her all these things in detail.
And Miriam thought he told her so because she was his most trusted person.
