The Return of the Disguised Princess

Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Exposed

“I don’t have time.”

“Tomorrow at 2 p.m. Heaven Hotel. You can show up or not, I won’t give a shit.” Amelie didn’t compromise and hung up the phone after giving him the location.

She had plenty of ways to make Lamont take the initiative to see her.

“Belen.” Amelie picked up the landline phone on the table and said, “Find out what Rick did in the past few days. Once he shows up in the company, tell him to come to see me right away.”

Belen Patrick was the assistant that Aaron had arranged from his entertainment company. Not only was she excellent and professional at work, but she was also good at sparring. She could be a bodyguard staying with Amelia.

The next afternoon, as expected, Amelie did not see Lamont in Heaven Hotel. So she arranged the welcome banquet for Rex here.

Tyler and Daron accompanied her in the banquet hall for a long time until finally, they saw the man they had been missing.

“Amelie!”

“Rex!”

Amelie trotted all the way toward Rex. The pink belt on her coat flew behind her as she ran. Her white Mary Jane shoes that were inlaid with pearls clacked on the marble floor. She ran to Rex and pounced on him.

“You have to stay for a few more days this time.” Amelie clung to Rex like a koala.

“No problem! The organization has approved my half a year of leave.” Rex looked at Amelie dotingly. He was sturdy and tall, and his bronzed skin and long beard made him look like a person who had just returned from the wild.

None of them realized that a man in the corner was staring at them.

“Who is that?”

Lamont didn’t break the appointment. He just didn’t want to show up on time. However, he didn’t expect to see this scene when he arrived.

It seemed that they were quite close to each other. But he was too far away from them to hear what they were talking about.

It was normal that Lamont did not know Rex. Because of Rex’s confidential job, the Mullen family did not plan to tell the public about Rex’s existence until Rex officially retired.

“Let’s go. I prepared a welcome banquet for you. I have ordered your favorite dishes in advance. We can talk while eating,” Amelie held Rex’s hand and said. The four of them slowly walked towards the private room.

Lamont’s face darkened as he stepped back into the shadow.

What he didn’t expect was that the next morning, many entertainment official accounts exposed the matter that Rohan, who was under Starry Sea Entertainment, had been secretly targeted by Prosperity Global. Some even released a video. Although the image and voice had been blurred, Lamont could tell at a glance that it was Rick!

What a traitor!

Lamont and Macey sat at the table, their faces were both gloomy.

“I didn’t expect this Rick to be brainy enough to play the trick! Did he do it because you didn’t give him enough money?” Macey lost her appetite and put down her knife and fork. She barely even touched her favorite foie gras.

Looking at Elizabeth, who had a big appetite and was eating happily, Macey was even more irritated and took away the croissant in front of her. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you know how much weight you have gained these days? Stop eating!”

Elizabeth looked wronged and said, “Why are you so mad at me? You don’t have the appetite, but I do. It wasn’t me who asked Rick to do all these things. Why are you throwing a tantrum at me!”

“You stupid girl! How dare you talk back to your mother!” Macey raised her hand and was about to slap Elizabeth. Fortunately, Elizabeth was fast enough. She took away her plate back to run back to her room before Macey finished her words.

Lamont, who did not speak all the time, did not touch the food in front of him either. It seemed that he had no appetite as Macey did.

“Lamont, what should we do now?”

Seeing that public opinion on the Internet was getting louder and Prosperity Global’s stocks began to plummet, Macey became anxious.

Lamont crossed his hands behind his head, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Nothing could be told from the look on his face. The sunlight shone through the window casting a soft halo on his tough jawline.

“The public relations department will handle it.” After that, Lamont got up and left.

Macey was very dissatisfied with his reaction, but she did not say much.

“Amelie, let’s meet.”

Amelie, who had just arrived at the company, stared at the text message on her phone. The corners of her mouth raised into a victorious smile.

Yesterday evening, she received a message from Belen, who said that Rick had come back and sneaked into his dormitory. It seemed that Rick was going to pack his things up and run away. So Amelie asked Belen to stop Rick and she herself rushed back to the company immediately.

When Amelie returned to her office, she saw Rick, who had been beaten up and had bruises all over his face, and Belen, who was leisurely playing with her mobile phone with a cup of tea in her hand.

“What…”

Just as Amelie stepped forward to see what was going on, Rick collapsed on the floor and started to beg her with snot and tears. He promised that he would never be a mole again. Amelie didn’t even need to question him, because Rick confessed everything himself.

In the end, Amelie asked Belen to shoot a video for Rick, which was what Lamont and Macey saw this morning. Then, Amelie sent Rick to the police to violate his privacy.

Rick had no objection. Even if Amelie let him go, Lamont would not spare him. Perhaps staying in prison would be better than in the hands of Lamont.

What shocked Amelie the most was Belen. Although Aaron had already told Amelie that Belen was very “good at fighting“, she still didn’t expect that Belen could subdue a man who was more than twice her size.

“Sure. The same place. 2 p.m.”

“What is it, Amelie? What made you so happy?” Belen walked over to her with a smile.

Because of what happened last night, Amelie liked Belen a lot.

“It’s you. You made a great contribution!”

“It’s nothing, actually. Amelie, you flatter me.” Belen handed over a few documents and went back to her work. Then

Amelie decided to check how the practice was going.

Akira and Luciana shared a practice room. When Amelie pushed the door open and entered, they were trying to synchronize the lyrics.

“How is it going?”

Amelie was very satisfied with the state of the two. Both of them were preparing for the public performance.

“In order to defeat Rohan, we don’t dare to relax for even a second.” Luciana looked up at her with a frown. “Aren’t we just throwing an egg at a rock?”

However, Amelie disagreed. It was the first time Rohan and Sylvia had been partners. She didn’t know if they had practiced well.

“You should put your mind to practice. You can surpass Rohan if you stop gossiping around.”
