Macey glanced at Amelie arrogantly, and then a familiar person walked in.
“Jorge!” Amelie couldn’t help but stand up and look at the old Jorge Darnell in shock.
“Jorge, tell everyone about your crime. Do you understand?”
Jorge had worked for the Byron family for almost half his life. He bent over, and his voice was hoarse.
Jorge told everyone how he did illegal things in the name of Leila.
“Impossible!”
Amelie walked up to Jorge and asked firmly, “Jorge, is this all fake?”
Amelie thought they took advantage of Jorge.
“Ms. Mullen…”
Jorge burst into tears. “I’ve let Mr. Byron down. I’ve let you down…”
Before he could finish his words, Jorge was taken away by the police.
Amelie was stunned and felt cold all over.
The atmosphere in the live channel reached its climax.
“Goodness! What a dramatic reversal!”
“Hahaha, I said that the beauty in the white dress couldn’t be the murderer. I guessed right!”
“She looks so innocent. How could she do that? Someone must be jealous of her and framed her.”
“Aren’t you talking about the one in the black windbreaker? It’s a pity that she has a hat and glasses, so I can’t see her face.”
“Heh, that woman is dressed in black. It’s bad luck. I guess she is not much better.”
The news on Leila soon became trending topic. “Why is the daughter of a wealthy family being framed“, and “Breaking news! The daughter of the wealthy family joined in the talent show“.
Leila was in the limelight for a while, and even the stock prices of the Byron Group and the Aylward Group were rising.
At the Starry Sea Entertainment.
“Ms. Mullen, are you okay?” Briley looked nervously at Amelie, who had been sitting quietly for the whole morning.
“No matter what, you’d better have some food.”
Amelie shook her head tiredly. Suddenly, the phone rang, and she immediately picked it up.
“Aaron, how is it? What’s going on with Jorge?”
Aaron frowned and said to her with some regret, “Jorge died after he turned himself in.”
“H–He… committed suicide?” Amelie muttered, almost absent–minded.
Tears rolled down her cheeks. “How could this be?”
“Amelie, it’s not your fault. Don’t overthink it. Sergio has already gone over to look into it, and
Emilee will stay with you. You must take care of yourself.”
Wiping away her tears, Amelie said in a broken voice, “Alright, I understand. I want to stay alone for a while.”
Amelie stayed in the office for an entire afternoon.
“What are you doing? Even if you don’t have an appetite, your baby has to eat.” Emilee watched Amelie finish her meal with pity and carefully helped her to the sofa.
Amelie’s face was a little pale. She lowered her head and touched her belly, feeling very guilty.
“I’ve let my baby down. Don’t worry. I won’t do this anymore.”
Amelie thought she had to take revenge for Jorge and Draven.
“It’s not your fault. Who would have thought that Macey would take advantage of the old Jorge? And that bitch Leila even got what she wanted regardless of Mr. Byron’s fame.”
Amelie turned on her phone. Her face gradually turned gloomy as she saw the treading topics on Leila.
All of these were Leila’s tricks. Amelie was indeed stunned by that.
“I already knew what they were. This time, I lost, but I won’t fail next time.”
Amelie swore that she would make them pay the price.
“By the way, I have a favor to ask of you. Please help me look into Dexter…” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“OK.”
The Byron family was all very relieved.
“Leila, well done. This time, thanks to you, the stock price of the two companies has risen.” Willard Aylward held a glass of wine and drank it down happily.
Leila smiled shyly. “Lamont, I said that I can help your career. See, I did it.”
Macey, who was quiet at first, suddenly said, “How dare Amelie, this vicious woman, work with
Jorge to harm Draven and try to frame Leila? Lamont, you must teach her a lesson.”
Lamont held a glass of wine, shook it, and drank it down.
“I will handle it.”
As he spoke, Lamont went upstairs.
Everyone was puzzled. They seemed not that concerned about Draven’s death.
Lamont wondered if this was really done by Jorge and if it had something to do with Amelie.
At this time, the assistant reported that the Mullen family had ruined one of their deals in Oakland.
“Give full support for Leila to join in the talent show. Don’t give Starry Sea Entertainment any chance.”
After the livestream, Lamont learned that Amelie was the general manager of Starry Sea Entertainment. Lamont had always viewed Starry Sea Entertainment as a business rival.
However, Lamont was sure that he could easily take down Starry Sea Entertainment.Soon, Lamont gave the first big gift to Starry Sea Entertainment.
At a hotel.
“What happened, Rohan? The trending topics are all about you!”
Katrina looked through the photos on the phone and asked, “What’s going on? Why would you be photographed together with a woman? Rumors say that you’re in a relationship with a rich woman.”
Rohan reached out his hand and touched the woman in the photo who only showed her back. Rohan’s lips curled up into a smile as he murmured, “I wish I was.”
“What did you say?
“You should’ve focused on your comeback. Aren’t you worried that the rumors ruin your
At the same time, Amelie also knew about it.
“I see. Find out who leaked it.” career?”
“Ms. Mullen, if we don’t do something, Rohan is likely to be kicked out of the talent show because of the gossip.”
“You just need to figure out where the photo came from. I’ll do the rest.”
After that, Amelie picked up her purse and was off to meet an important person.
