The Return of the Disguised Princess

Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Coming to an End

Willard could only suck it up as he was used to his sister’s ill temper.

The court was declared open.

There were not many people in the huge courtroom, and most of them were people of the Mullen family, the Byron family, and the Aylward family.

Amelie sat in the plaintiff’s seat and looked at Leila, who was sitting, far away on the opposite side. She was curious why Leila was so calm today.

“This is all the evidence. Defendant, what do you plead?”

“I plead guilty. I am willing to accept all the accusations and punishment,” Leila said in a faint voice, but it sounded so unreal in Amelie’s ears.

She exchanged a look with Tyler and Daron, and the three of them sensed that something was wrong.

In her last trial, Leila did not submit as she did now. How could she become a different person in just a few days?

“Your honor, may I approach and speak a few words with the defendant?”

The judge agreed as expected, but it was obvious that Macey and Willard became much more nervous.

“There should be no problem, right?” Macey lightly bumped Willard on the shoulder and asked in a very soft voice.

Willard’s heart was also thumping. Although it was a cool autumn day, there was already a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

“Leila” looked at Amelie walk over step by step, and the expression on her face became angry. “What’s wrong? Are you satisfied now that you’ve trampled all over me?”

Amelie did not say anything, only comparing the face in her memory to the woman in front of her.

Even the mole on her face was exactly the same, but the identical face and figure just gave people a completelydifferent vibe.

However, Amelie really could not tell what exactly was wrong.

“Hey! Have you seen enough?” Leila rolled her eyes and turned her face to the side.

The people in the courtroom looked at each other, not knowing what Amelie was doing.

“Excuse me, Ms. Mullen, is there a problem?” The judge looked at Amelie in confusion.

“Uh… No.” Amelie shook her head and returned to her seat.

“Well, the verdict of the case is as follows…”

For some reason, Amelie didn’t feel as happy as she thought, but it was definitely not because she suddenly felt sorryfor Leila, but because of her keen intuition as a woman.

“Didn’t father say that Lamont Byron would be here? Why didn’t I see him?” Tyler looked around and asked Daron.

“I don’t know. Maybe something came up. But he doesn’t care much about Leila anyway.” Daron shrugged. It didn’tmatter whether Lamont came or not as long as they could vindicate Amelie. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing that this had finally come to an end, Macey and Willard finally felt relieved.

“Amelie, why don’t you look very happy?”

Daron keenly noticed that Amelie seemet hore upset than when she just arrived

“I don’t know, but I always feel that this woman is not the thought.

Amelie shook her head and smiled. “You have worked hard enough host forget about the thing now Let’s putea barbecue restaurant. I haven’t hadmeat for a long time.

Tyler and Daron no longer thought about this issue and immediately agreed to Amelie’s request.

On the other hand, Lamont was looking at the man in front of him with an unhappy expression

This person was Rick, who lived on the same floor as Rohan in the staff quarters!

“Mr. Byron, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but Ms. Mullen has given an order in the comp person who leaked the secret… I… I’m really scared.”

Rick lowered his head and sat on the chair opposite Lamont, his hands nervously strokingto capture the

Although he had already pressed the brim of his cap to the lowest, he could still feel the cold gaze of theof him.

“Cut the crap. What exactly are you here for?”

Lamont did not have time to spend on this coward, who did not even dare to raise his head to speak. He went straight to the point as usual.

“I, I would like to have my last paycheck.” Rick braced himself in his heart and finally brought up the matter ofmoney.

Lamont sneered, took out two notes from the drawer, and threw them on the floor. “I’ve really misjudged you. I neverthought you were such a coward.”

Rick looked at the two notes lying quietly on the floor and immediately became anxious. “No, Mr. Byron! This is not what we agreed on! You, aren’t you going back on your words?”

“Is that so?” Lamont sneered. He took out a cigar from a box on the side and put it in his mouth. He intraled, and the cigar as thick as a thumb immediately shortened by halt.

In the smoke, Rick’s vigor gradually weakened.

“I’m sorry, I just can’t stand people who betrayed their friends for petty profits.”

Lamont stood up and walked to Rick’s side. He blew a mouthful of smoke on his face. “Take these two bills and quicklyget out of my office.”

Rick suddenly had goosebumps. He didn’t care about how much the reward was anymore. He picked up the bills and fled but bumped into a woman who was about to come in.

“I’m sorry. Sorry…”

When Lamont heard this, he turned his head and frowned at the strange woma

“You are…”

The woman also had curly hair and looked somewhat similar to Amelie.

“I’m Miriam Malpas, your new assistant.”

The tight suit dress flattered Miriam’s curvaceous figure.

But no matter how similar she was to Amelie, Miriam would not be half as good as her.

Lamont was suddenly shocked. He did not know when Amelie had taken up a big place in his mind.

He pretended to be calm and coughed a few times, barely holding back his inward panic.

“Where’s Hector?” Lamont’s gaze only stayed on Miriam for a second before returning to the stock indexes on thescreen before him.

His reaction somewhat displeased Miriam. One had to know that when she was walking on the streets, she had been hit on and asked for contact countless times. In addition to her full–time job, she was also a part–time model.

But she did not expect not to raise any interest from this man. This was new.

“Hector got transferred. Didn’t he tell you before he left?”

“No.” From beginning to end, Lamont’s tone remained flat, making him more like an emotionless machine.

To him, it did not matter who was his assistant. As long as they could assist him in work, Lamont was okay with having different assistants every day.
