Chapter 263 Lamont’s Concern
Just at this time, the phone stopped ringing.
Belen hurried to the door and looked out through the sight glass.
“Amelie, Mr. Byron is here.”
Hearing that it was Lamont who had come, Amelie let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.
The light in the living room was turned on, and it finally brightened up.
Lamont walked in. There were still some damps on his shoulders, and it looked like he had been caught in the rain.
“Belen, go and get a towel.”
As Amelie spoke, she walked up to Lamont.
“Why are you here so late?”
Belen walked over with a towel, and Amelie took the towel and wiped the damps for him.
“I was worried about you, so I came here as soon as I finished my work. It’s thundering and raining. I’m really
worried that you will be afraid.”
Lamont was very gentle and considerate, which made Amelie feel very warm.
“I know you must be very busy today. I’m fine. You don’t have to come here specially. You got caught in the rain, right? Take a hot bath and go to bed early.”
Just as Amelie finished her words and was about to prepare the water, she was stopped by Lamont.
“Wait. I… I want to talk to you about something.”
Lamont rarely hesitated in front of her like this..
Seeing him like this, Amelie was a little worried.
“What’s the matter?”
“I’ve found a way a way to get rid of public opinion.”
As Lamont spoke, he pulled Amelie to the sofa and sat down.
At this time, Belen had already walked to the kitchen tactfully, ready to heat the milk.
“What way are you talking about?”
Amelie looked at him in dismay.
“For you and me, this is not public opinion at all. I think it may be the best way for us to announce our relationship.”
“But…”
Amelie was taken aback when she heard that.
Although she guessed that Lamont might have such an idea, when she actually heard it, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
“No ‘but‘. Aren’t we making up now? Why are we still hiding it? I know that your brothers don’t like me. guarantee that they will definitely change their attitudes towards me. I want to be with you aboveboard.”
The fact that Lamont could make such a determination showed how long he had been thinking about it.
Amelie lowered her eyes, feeling a little worried.
“You know that the Mullen family has gone bankrupt. In the eyes of outsiders, I am a woman who takes advantage of others to be successful. If our relationship is made public, I really don’t know what the consequence will be. I can’t guarantee that I can bear it. Lamont, I know your mind, but I still want to think about this matter before I can give you an accurate answer.”
Amelie finally hesitated.
She was now focused on defeating Willard and getting the Mullen family back, but she never thought that her emotional problem would be so entangled.
If it was the past, she might be more rational. But now, she found that she cared about Lamont even more.
For herself, this would be a big constraint.
Lamont’s eyes darkened a little, but he was not particularly disappointed. Because in his eyes, Amelie was all he wanted now. As long as she was safe and sound, That would be the best for him.
“Okay. I promise you that I will respect any choice you make.”
The president of Prosperity Global Entertainment was actually so passive when facing his emotional problem. If it got out, all the people would make fun of him.
The two of them hugged each other.
The rain was getting lighter outside.
In the early morning of the next day, Lamont left early. There was a lot of work he needed to do in his company, so he really couldn’t always accompany in the side of Amelie.
After all, public opinion on the Internet needed to be dealt with immediately.
In the company, many employees were talking about it, and even some employees were not willing to work.
Lamont walked into the company with a serious face.
“Mr. Byron, the trend of public opinion on the Internet is getting worse. Many people have already started to criticize our company, saying that there are unspoken rules in the entertainment industry. I think we need to investigate it
carefully.”
His subordinate followed aside and whispered.
“Don’t care about this kind of news. Netizens are desiring to stir up trouble. Immediately implement a public relation
and issue a statement stating that a press conference will be held in two days to explain all about it. And, immediately
arrange for some artists to start shooting those advertising projects immediately. Use these to mitigate the impact of
this matter.”
Lamont was unusually calm.
“Yes, I’ll do it.”
Not long after Lamont was sitting in his office, Miriam walked in.
“Mr. Byron, Mr. Rex Mullen is here.”
Then Lamont put down the document in his hand.
“Ask him to come in.”
Lamont frowned and wasn’t quite sure why Rex came here.
“Mr. Byron, Rex seems to have come here for some bad purposes, and he is sullen.”
Miriam reminded Lamont in a low voice.
“Got it. Go out, please.”
Miriam reluctantly left.
Immediately afterwards, Rex walked in.
“Rex, you…”
Before Lamont finished his words, he was interrupted directly.
“Don’t call me Rex now. We are not so close. I just come to you to ask you if you took Leila away?”
Rex also investigated Leila, but when he went to see her, he unexpectedly learned that Leila had been taken away by
Lamont.
“Yes, I took Leila away. I have my plan.”
“I don’t care what plan you have, but you must give me an accurate answer on this matter. Did Leila do this? As far as
I know, she is your nominal fiancee. It isn’t reassuring.”
Rex was very sullen. Standing in front of Lamont like this, he was very dissatisfied.
“Mr. Mullen, I’ll deal with this matter. You don’t need to…”
“Give Leila to me.”
Without waiting for Lamont to finish his words, Rex ordered directly.
“Mr. Mullen, forgive me for not doing this. I know you are worried about Amelie, but this matter cannot be rushed.
After all, Leila is Willard’s daughter. If the members of your Mullen family take action, the consequence will be
disastrous.”
Lamont analyzed calmly.
“I’ve thought of what you said, but this is not a problem for our Mullen family. Although our company has gone
bankrupt, we won’t let others bully us. You can guess if we have the strength.”
Rex sneered and then walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
“All of us knew the Mullen family would go bankrupt, but we just didn’t expect it to happen so soon. It was hard for Amelie to go through so much. As her brother, I feel guilty. So, Leila must be given to me,NôvelDrama.Org content.
and I will handle her.”
Lamont was solemn. He didn’t expect Rex wouldn’t listen to anything.
