Chapter 264 Protect Amelie
Just when they were arguing, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
Rex put his eyes back and sat on the sofa calmly, pretending to be nonchalant.
Miriam walked in.
“Mr. Byron, just now the person in charge of Evans Group sent a document here, saying that he wanted you to open it
yourself.”
Document?
Lamont looked at the document in her hand, and suspicion flashed into his heart.
Lamont thought, “What does Mr. Evans mean by sending the document here at this time?”
“You go out first.”
At this time, Lamont was already suspicious of Miriam and didn’t want her to know too much.
There were only Lamont and Rex left in the office.
“You really have a close relationship with that person from Evans Group. What kind of agreement do you come to?”
Rex looked at Lamont suspiciously.
“Nothing, just pure business contacts.”
“Pure business contacts? Do you think I’m a fool? If it’s really simple, why can he target Amelie? Explain it to me.”
Rex became furious in an instant, stepped forward and grabbed his collar fiercely.
“Rex, no matter how much I explain, you probably won’t believe it, right?”
Lamont said calmly as if he had guessed everything.
“You’re right. Anyway, I won’t agree with you two being together again. You can’t remember all the pain Amelie has encountered, but I remember it. She is my Leila, and I can take care of her for the rest of my life.”
After Rex finished his words, he turned and left.
Lamont just stood there and was silenced. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Lamont thought, “He is right. I used to be the bad guy. Now when I think about the past, I feel guilty. Now, even if I risk my life, I must protect her and not let her suffer any harm.”
In the Mullen family’s villa at this time, Eden was reading newspapers in the study.
“Honey, something bad happened. Read the news on the Internet quickly.”
Celia hurried upstairs and came to Eden with her mobile phone.
He put down the newspaper in his hand in displeasure and took off his presbyopic glasses.
“Take it easy. Aren’t you afraid of spraining your ankle?”
Although Eden said something to criticize Celia, he was actually caring about her,
“I’m flustered. Now everyone on the Internet is talking about our daughter. Take a look.”
Celia handed the phone to Eden.
He looked at it carefully and he become more sullen.
“These people are really disgusting. When has Amelie been wronged like this?”
Eden was very angry. He grasped the phone harder.
“Honey, we can’t just watch Amelie suffer this kind of humiliation. I originally didn’t want her to work in the entertainment industry. There is an admixture of the genuine and the false in this kind of place. Before, we could help and protect her, but now? Our Mullen family is in crisis, and we are unable even to fend for ourselves. so how can we protect our dear daughter? I think it’s better to bring her back and not be in the entertainment industry anymore.”
Celia was concerned about her daughter, so she directly said that she hoped Amelie to give up her career.
Although Eden thought so in his heart, he knew his daughter’s temper. No matter how much they said, it would have
no effect.
“I’ll call Rex later and ask him back to inquire about the situation. There’s no rush for this kind of thing.”
Eden was quite calm.
Seeing this, Celia had no choice but to stop talking.
In the evening, when Rex returned home, he happened to see his parents sitting upright.
“Mom and Dad, why haven’t you gone to sleep yet?”
Seeing them, Rex was startled.
He already guessed something in his heart.
“How are things going with Amelie? Has it made any progress?”
Eden asked directly.
“This…”
“What are you hesitating about? Could it be that there is no clue yet?”
Eden’s expression became serious instantly.
“Dad, it’s a bit complicated. It’s a long story. Don’t be angry.”
Rex was worried about his father’s health, so he quickly persuaded him.
But no matter how much he said, it was useless. At this time, Eden only wanted to know the specific situation of his
dear daughter, otherwise, he would never feel at ease.
“Tell me the truth. If you have anything to hide, see if I dare to hit you.”
Eden’s serious look made Rex’s blood freeze.
He had no choice but to tell Eden everything about it.
“It has gone too far.”
Sure enough, Eden slapped the table vigorously, and the expression on his face became very ferocious.
Does Lamont think my Amelie will never get married? He dares to provoke her. No! You must take her home immediately and absolutely forbid the two of them to have any contact.”
Eden made up his mind this time. Even if his dear daughter hated him, he had to do it. He really couldn’t bear to see
her get hurt in any way.
“Dad, I think so, but…”
Rex was a little embarrassed.
Eden knew Rex’s worry.
“No matter how much you worry, Amelie will get hurt in the end. Do you just want to see her suffer so much? I am her father, and I will never allow her to be hurt repeatedly by one man. He is not qualified.”
What Eden had said was exactly what Rex thought.
“Dad, you’re right. If that’s the case, I’ll bring Amelie back immediately. We’ll discuss what to do then.”
‘No need to discuss. Bring her back and send her to Australia. Our family will go to Australia. I don’t have much thought about what Willard wants to do now. Even if the Mullen family becomes influential, we don’t have to worry about it. I will succeed sooner or later.”
“Go back to Australia?”
Rex opened his mouth in surprise.
“What? Is there anything here that you miss?”
Eden glanced at him dissatisfied.
“Of course not. I… I just feel that such a decision is a bit too hasty. Amelie may not agree to it if she knows it. And we haven’t told Aaron yet.”
Rex’s worry was indeed very important.
Eden fell into silence.
“The rest of the matter is up to you. In short, it is inevitable to take Amelie away. There must be no compromise.”
“Okay. I see.”
Then Eden stood up and went upstairs.
Celia on the side looked sad.
“Rex, your dad is very anxious now. Don’t take it to heart. Now our Mullen family is no better than before. Now that Amelie encounters something, we can’t protect her. To be honest, your dad and I are very guilty. That’s why we thought about taking her away. This matter must not be delayed. It must be done as soon as possible.“
