    Chapter 240 Le’s Transaction


    Amelie thought it was just a coincidence, and she wouldn’t have any interaction with Le. However, as


    she was about to leave the restroom after washing her hands, she happened to run into Le who was


    also heading there.


    They didn’t greet each other.


    “What are you doing here?” Le asked irritably.


    “This is a restaurant, a public ce. Why can’t I be here? Ms. Aylward, you must be joking,” Amelie


    replied, not


    wanting to pay too much attention to Le.


    “Ms. Mullen, wait a minute. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Don’t you want to catch up with me?”


    Le asked.


    “Catch up with you? Are you kidding me? What do I have to catch up with you for?”


    Amelie replied, eyeing Le mockingly. Her sharp gaze seemed to tear her apart.


    “Amelie, just because you have Lamont’s affection now doesn’t mean you can act recklessly. It’s only


    temporary. Your Mullen family has fallen so low. Do you really think the Byron family would be


    interested in you? Do you know what like should marry like means? I am the most suitable match for


    Lamont. My advice to you is to know when to give up.


    Otherwise, the consequences will be more severe,” Le warned.


    “Is that so? Then I don’t quite understand. If it’s really important to match social status, then why is


    Lamont treating me differently?” Amelie asked.


    After speaking, Amelie looked towards her private dining room.


    Le quickly understood what she meant.


    “Is Lamont here too?” Le asked.


    “Of course, your Lamont is here too. What’s wrong? Do you want to join us for dinner? But you seem to


    be busy. Who’s that man with you? Is he your new lover?” Amelie mocked.


    “Shut up! You don’t have any right to talk about me. What does it have to do with you?” Le snapped.


    “Oh, of course, it has nothing to do with me. I’m just concerned, that’s all. You keep saying that your


    heart only


    belongs to Lamont, but in reality, you have so many secret interactions with other men. I really can’t


    figure you out,”


    Amelie retorted.


    “Amelie! Don’t speak ill of me. He’s just a friend. You must leave immediately, and you cannot dine with


    Lamont,”


    Le warned.


    “Why?” Amelie sneered at her, feeling like she was looking at a clown.


    “When is it someone else’s turn to dictate my life, Le? Who do you think you are? Don’t let me see


    you again.


    Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as this next time,” Amelie red at her before leaving.


    Le stood still, stomping her foot in anger.


    Her purpose ining back this time was for Lamont, but so far she hadn’t achieved anything, and she


    felt very upset


    about it.


    Her goal ining back this time was for Lamont, but so far she had not made any progress, and her


    heart was heavy.


    Amelie returned to the private room, her face was looked very unpleasant, and she did not saying a


    word.


    Lamont, being attentive, quickly noticed that Amelie was upset and kept ncing at her from time to


    time.


    “What’s wrong? What happened?” he asked.


    “Are you kidding me? If it weren’t for you, would I be so angry?” she retorted.


    Lamont was taken aback, thinking he must have misheard.


    “Who did you run into?” he asked.


    “Your fiancée! Who else could it be?”

    Lamont finally realized the situation and regained hisposure.


    “Don’t mind her,” he said.


    “Don’t mind her? I know you don’t want to ruin your rtionship with her, especially since Wird is her


    father. But still, she can’t be so brazen, and I just saw her getting very close to a man, as if they were


    plotting something. You should be careful with this woman. She’s not simple,” Amelie warned.


    Amelie took a sip of water and suppressed her anger.


    “Don’t worry. I’ve already arranged for someone to keep a close eye on her every day,” Lamont said.


    “If I had known that you had already taken care of it, I wouldn’t have been so worried,” Amelie replied


    helplessly, then


    looked at her phone.


    Just then, the waiter arrived with their food.


    Lamont had ordered the restaurant’s signature dishes, which Amelie thought looked good.


    “Try it out. The food here is supposed to be excellent, and the owner is a friend of mine.”


    “Your friend?” Amelie was a bit surprised, so she nced at him.


    “Yes, my friend. I have quite a few friends, and theye from all walks of life,” Lamont said.


    Amelie’s seemingly yful remark was actually just a passingment.


    After dinner, the two of them nned to chat for a while, but Lamont suddenly received a phone call.


    Lamont’s expression grew more serious as he listened to the conversation.


    “Okay, I’ll hurry back,” he said before hanging up the phone. Lamont seemed preupied after the call.


    Amelie noticed that something was amiss and nced at the time.


    “Is there something going on at work? You should go back and handle it,” she suggested.


    “It’s nothing, really. My subordinates have discovered some information.”


    “What have they found?”


    “It seems that the person behind the attacks on Cynthia and Emilee is connected to the Aylward family


    in many ways. However, I can’t be certain if it’s Wird or not because weck solid evidence. There


    are only some clues, which are not enough to bring him downpletely.”


    “I knew it was Wird. He won’t just give up like that. His motive is probably to disrupt my n and


    defeat the Mullen familypletely.”


    “Maybe not. Perhaps he just wants to target the Springer family. Wird is a calcting and ruthless


    individual who is not easy to deal with.”


    “He’s probably feeling pretty proud of himself after causing all of this trouble.”


    After speaking, Lamont picked up a ss of water and took a sip.


    “Then let’s not give him any more chances. We should press our advantage, and perhaps we’ll have


    some sess.”


    “Do you have a n?” Lamont looked at Amelie seriously.


    “Of course, I do.”


    In the private room, Amelie and Lamont discussed their strategy.


    Meanwhile, Le was sitting across from a man, but her mind kept wandering.


    Every time Le thought about the ambiguous rtionship between Lamont and Amelie, she felt


    unhappy.


    ‘Are you going to agree or not?”


    The man looked at Le with a cold expression, his voice filled with anger.


    “It’s not a matter of agreeing or not. I already said 2 million dors is enough. If you keep pushing me,


    you won’t get anything at all.”


    “Ms. Aylward, are you trying to back out of our deal?” The man was displeased.


    “You’re the one who’s backing out, not me. We agreed on 160,000 dors, but you raised the price. I’ve


    already raised


    it to 200,000 dors, and you’re still not satisfied. Do you think Le is someone you can push around?


    I’m the heiress of the Aylward family, a prominent conglomerate. Do you really want to mess with me?”
