    Chapter 96 An Uninvited Guest


    Lamont raised his head and nced 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 ept the tyrannical terms of the


    second contract. He signed his name on thest 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 nket, 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 thinyer of sweat appeared on


    Miriam’s hand, which turned sticky and ufortable.


    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 orter. 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 t for


    me to rest.”


    “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 thepany. 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 sunsses 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–boughtputer.


    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 Oand 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 Oand.”


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


    Did Jeff alsoe to Oand?


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    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 thepany’s artists used the excuse of cooperation to sneak into the


    “No, that man seems to havee 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 toe. 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 apany, thepany could much more likely be 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.
