Chapter 250 Calming Things Down
He walked up slowly.
“A thousand pardons. I acted too rashly. Hearing your exnation, it also seems that we need to work
more on ourmunication. Since Mr. Evans came in a hurry, please get some rest in the lounge. Why
don’t we dine out tonight for a meet and greet? My treat.”

Mr. Garcia tried to calm things down by taking him out to dinner. Yet this is only the first day of filming,
and dining sounded premature at the moment.
Amelie didn’t like this, for she was unfamiliar with her co-stars, and didn’t want to drink with them.
So she waved her hand in decline.
“Mr. Garcia, we need to start filming tomorrow, and we might get dyed again if we dine out tonight.
Plus, Mr. Evans had just gotten off the ne, and needed to rest up from his jetg. Why don’t we get
some rest for now? We could dine out after the production began.”
Amelie was good with situations like this. Mr. Garcia agreed with her.
“You were right. We’ll go out some other time, then. Ricky, I’ll send someone to take you to your
lounge, andter I’ll get a car to drive you to your hotel.”
Fortunately, Richard wasn’t nitpicky. He would look at Amelie from time to time, and give out a
mysterious smile.
“It’s okay, Mr. Garcia. It’s the least I could do. We’re partners, after all. May our production goes
smoothly.”
Richard stretched out his hand, and the two of them shook hard.
Problem solved, atst. Amelie felt relieved seeing him leave.
She finally got it under control, and stopped her work from bing more
troublesome.
Mr. Garcia looked thankfully at Amelie.
“Ms. Mullen, thank you so much. I can’t imagine the chaos that could have been if you
hadn’t stepped in.”
“It’s no big deal, Mr. Garcia. We’ve still got two months ahead of us. Your reputation for being
exceptionally responsible and prudent precedes you. I believe we’ll have a wonderful time working
together, so please forgive me if I did anything wrong.”
Amelie was good with words, and she said all the good things about him. Though she did not know him
well, she meant what she said.
“Don’t worry. I’ll cut you some ck. There’s no filming today, and you may go now. I’ll send someone if
anything happens.”
Mr. Garcia left after this.
Amelie watched him leave, and she finally calmed down.

Even though she was well aware that this show could be her step upward, Amelie still felt that
something was going on between Mr. Garcia and Mr. Evans.
With Belen’s help, Amelie removed her makeup and changed it back into her daily. attire. Then she
hurried out of the lounge and went back to the hotel.
Amelie was about to go on with her script when the rm rang.
She grabbed her phone and turned it off, and the room returned to its silence.
She set the rm just so she could sneak out.
She was about to meet Jeff at noontime. For she received a message from Jeff, that he had discovered
something overseas.
Amelie was so excited hearing this, and she hadn’t even rested up.
She looked at the time and hurried out of her hotel room, with only a jacket, a cap, and a
mask.
Belen wasn’t in her room right now, and Amelie sent her a message before leaving.
Jeff was waiting in a coffee shop nearby.
His face was cold and serious. His coffee pot was almost empty.
After a while, Amelie finally arrived at his box.
“There you are. I was afraid you’d be too busy to get out.” Jeff said coldly.
Amelie sat down and took off her mask and hat.
“What’s going on? Is something wrong?”
She went straight to the point.
“I did some diggings into some assets of the Mullen family. They were sold abroad by Wird. At first, I
thought they were never recovered, but I discovered some traces yesterday that Wird did not sell
these shares. He assumed a different identity and was pulling the strings. I believe we can try and act
now. We might have a pretty good chance of getting the Mullen family back on its feet.”
Amelie was thrilled to hear this.
She could actually get her family back on its feet. She could hardly believe it.
“Is it true? Are you serious?”
“Indeed. They didn’t make a move before, so I didn’t notice. And it was only recently
that Wird secretly made frequent transfers to that small firm abroad. And he rerouted a lot, so I find
that suspicious. Why would Wird do this? Who could push him this far? You’ve already got the
answer to that, right?”
Amelie nodded. She knew that it had to be the work of Lamont Byron.
They were at each other’s throats. Wird could only go over the edge if Lamont pushed him there.
“I got you now, atst. I think I need to go abroad, and find out what kind of firm that is.”
“There’s no rush. I’ve already got the details right here in this file. This firm appeared normal, but it got
prettyrge deficits.”
“Deficits?”
“Exactly. Wird was running a clothing business, but his factory kept breaking down these past few
years, and there’s no one in charge.”
“So that’s why Wird got thepany firmly in his grasp. He was running it the whole time?”
“You’re right. Therefore, this will be a huge breakthrough. I didn’t expect Wird to be this smart. That
bas*ard will never get away with this.”
“Nobody makes my family a living hell and gets away with it. Not on his life.”
Amelie picked up the file from the table and gave it a look.
Indeed, it was a small firm, hardly significant. No wonder it got overlooked.
“Sneaky little bas*ard, Wird. This was something I came across by ident, So this might be only
the tip of the iceberg. We need to tread lightly.”
“One other thing.”
Jeff suddenly remembered and put down his cup. He looked at Amelie seriously.
“The male lead of your show… It’s Richard Evans, is it not?”
