Chapter 216


    Chapter 216 Make It Clear


    “What’s the matter with you? Did you really sleep in the house all day? Didn’t you eat?”


    “Amelie, you won. Yesterday Jeff came to me and told me a lot, but I still can’t ept it. Although he


    has repeatedly emphasized to me that he has no affection for you, I still don’t believe it. How is it


    possible? How could he stay by your side for no reason? Could it be simply because of family


    problems?”


    Faced with Cynthia’s question, Amelie didn’t know how to answer for a while.


    She did not expect that the reason why she became like this was all because of Jeff.


    “I don’t know how to answer these questions. I can only tell you that there is really nothing between him


    and me, I know you have always regarded me as a thorn in your side. I didn’t make it clear to you, but


    working in the same field, I still hope to help each other. You and Jeff are childhood sweethearts, so


    don’t give up on the rtionship for so many years, he really cares


    about you.”


    “He cared about me? He loved you at the beginning! Are you now finding me to act nice? It’s ridiculous,


    Amelie, you really impress me. I want to defeat youpletely, but he is still speaking for you,” Cynthia


    was unwilling, and tears rolled in her


    eyes.


    “I know no matter how much I say, you may not believe it, but do you think I will be with him?”


    After Amelie finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows and then nced at Belen behind her.


    Belen understood the meaning and hurried forward, and put a bag in front of her.


    “I know you haven’t eaten all day. This is a delicious chicken soup from a nearby restaurant. Drink


    some and you’ll feel better.”


    She left immediately after speaking.


    Cynthia wanted to speak, but the words that came to her lips couldn’te out.


    She also knew what to say.


    Looking at the chicken soup in front of her, she felt mixed feelings.


    As soon as Amelie returned to the room, she realized that something was wrong. She found arge


    cake box on the table.


    She immediately became vignt and quickly checked her surroundings.


    “You’re back”


    Sure enough, a familiar voice came from behind her.


    She quickly looked over, and it was Lamont who walked over.


    “Why are you here?” “Of course I came to see you, and I knew you love the cakes of this store, so I


    bought the cakes. Try them, they are tasted really delicious.”


    “I don’t have much appetite, Mr. Byron, you should note here.”


    “If you don’t let mee, I will stille. Acting in this martial arts drama is difficult and tiring.


    Sometimes you have to take care of yourself and don’t work too hard.”


    “Thank you for your concern, I will definitely work hard.”


    Amelie deliberately acted very alienated. This behavior made Lamont very ufortable, but he didn’t


    get angry.


    He knew that Amelie was still brooding, but he believed that sooner orter a cold heart would be


    warmed up by himself.


    “What’s the purpose of your visit today? Could it be just to send a cake?”


    “Of course not, I just want toe and see you. Besides, there is some progress about the matter of


    the Aylward family.”


    “Is there any progress?” Amelie’s attitude changed as expected, and she looked at him excitedly.


    “The cooperation project proposed by the Aylward family is really tricky. I refused, but he didn’t give up.


    He kepting to me and wanted me to do that project.”


    “What project?” Amelie asked suspiciously.


    “It’s and project. He intends to build a shopping mall on thatnd, but thatnd is controversial.


    Outsiders may not know it,


    but I know it.”


    “The Aylward family is really powerful. Is it possible that they want to hide this disputednd and then


    show it after the official cooperation? They would not be the only one that would be affected by that


    time. Why would they take the risk?”


    “Maybe we are all wrong. The first thing they want to deal with is not the Byron family, but the Byron


    family. Maybe they have reached some kind of agreement with the Springer family. In short, we are


    indeed rtively passive now,” Lamont frowned hard and was very worried.


    Amelie didn’t say much. She didn’t understand this kind of business issue very clearly. What was more,


    as far as she knew, Prosperity Global was an entertainmentpany, and invested in such a project


    was risky. If there was any mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    “Since this ce is controversial, you should not ept it, but I am worried that the Aylward family will


    let you take the fall. After all, they have a high status now, and without the restraint of the Mullen family,


    they are very likely to annexation.”


    “So are you worried about me?”


    Lamont looked at her seriously, the corners of his mouth raised.


    “No. What are you talking about? I am not.”


    “Why not, I can see it.”

    “Don’t talk nonsense, Mr. Byron. After all, you are my boss. Of course, I will care. Since you have


    nothing else to do, you should go quickly. I am a little tired today and want to rest.”


    “No, I want to take you somewhere.”


    “Mr. Byron, I think what I told you is very clear, please stop pestering me!” Amelie said angrily and took


    two steps back.


    “Do you have to make it so clear with me?”


    Amelie was slightly taken aback, but did not speak.


    “I just want to take you out to meet someone. Maybe after you meet this person, you will understand


    everything.”


    Amelie didn’t refuse, and then she changed her clothes and followed Lamont out of the hotel.


    On the way, she originally thought that the two of them would leave the hotel one after the other, so as


    not to be photographed by some paparazzi, but Lamont insisted on walking with her and openly held


    her hand. She couldn’t help feeling a little worried and looked around quickly, but fortunately, she didn’t


    find any paparazzi, so she was relieved.


    It wasn’t until they got into the car that Amelie quickly shook off his hand.


    “Mr. Byron, stop making fun of this. If we are photographed by some paparazzi, there will be public


    opinion again.”


    “You are an artist under mypany, isn’t it normal for me to walk with you? Besides, when do you


    care what those paparazzi say? Do you have more worries since you’re famous?”


    “Mr. Byron, you should stop joking, that’s not what I meant,” Amelie said unnaturally.


    “Really? Well, I won’t say more. You must be very tired today. Take a rest.”


    Amelie ignored it after Lamont’s words.


    She turned her head directly and looked out the window.


    The sky outside was gloomy for unknown reasons. It seemed that the weather forecast didn’t say it will


    rain.


    The journey was very quiet. Ten minutes passed, and when the raindrops fell on the window, she woke


    up immediately.


    It really rained!
