Chapter 358 Under House Arrest
“Mr. Hampson, how would you know!”
“Ms. Malpas, don’t outsmart yourself. After Ms. Cisneros told me who you were, I already sent someone to investigate. What information did you think could be hidden from me? As far as I know, during the two years you were in prison, your grandparents died, your father was in a car accident. and now your mother is lying in a hospital bed waiting for you to get money for her treatment, isn’t it?”
Mr. Hampson lit a cigarette and looked at Miriam meaningfully, with a playful look in his eyes that immediately raised Miriam’s heart to her throat.
She didn’t think she’d get herself into trouble.
The atmosphere in the room became tense.
Amelie broke the silence with a cough.
“Why does the atmosphere have to be so tense? Ms. Malpas, if you don’t think it’s acceptable, then take the papers back. This also avoids tragedy, doesn’t it?”
“I promise!”
Miriam finally agreed, looking at Mr. Hampson expectantly.
“Since Mr. Hampson already knows my current difficulty, please transfer one million dollars to my card as soon as possible.”
“Of course, Ms. Malpas, if you do what you say, then I naturally have no problem with it.”
After the cooperation was discussed, they left the teahouse.
Amelie looked at Miriam’s lost soul, without any sympathy. Instead, she sneered.
“Thanks to Ms. Cisneros for your help. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gotten the money to save my mother”
Although this matter has nothing much to do with Amelie, Miriam still uttered her thanks to Amelie.
“Ms. Malpas, you are very kind. I didn’t play a role. Don’t mention it. But as a bystander, I’d like to remind you that Mr. Hampson is a powerful man, so be careful.”
After Amelie finished speaking, she left directly to the car at the door, leaving Miriam standing alone, emotionless.
The one who came to pick up Amelie was none other than Rex.
“Rex, why did you suddenly come? I wouldn’t have known It was you if I hadn’t recognized your car.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Aaron called me. I didn’t expect you to go back.”
“I didn’t see Mom and Dad. I just saw Aaron and asked him a favor.”
“You’re taking too much of a risk. Do you know who the person is that you met with?”
“Of course, I know!”
“Who did you give all your stuff to?” Rex’s attitude was very serious.
“Rex, is that what you came to me for, to interrogate me? Can you stop talking with such an attitudel” Amelie was irritated.
“Then how do you want me to talk to you? Do you know what you’re doing? Have you ever thought about the consequences if Willard finds out?”
Amelie didn’t say anything and turned her head to look out the window.
She didn’t want to say anything now and didn’t want to intensify the conflict between herself and Rex.
‘Anyway, I don’t care what exactly your next plan is. It’s not allowed to go any further. I have also contacted my buddy and will not let him work for you anymore.”
“Rex! What the hell do you want? You’re only going to undo my plans. I’ve already sent Leila to jail…’
Amelie yelled in discontent.
“She’s not in jail yet!”
Rex suddenly braked sharply and stopped at the side of the road.
He was very emotional, and Amelie was a little shocked to see him like this.
“Amelie, do you know what you are doing? Even if you want to win back the Mullen family, it’s not the way to do it. That woman is not simple. Do you think she’s going to give you everything so easily? You are whimsical! My people have been following her. Do you know who she met with after she met with you?”
Amelie turned her head and looked at Rex suspiciously.
“Who did she see?”
“She met with Lamont. Do you understand what that means? It means that Lamont is behind this whole thing. If this goes on, the consequences will be unthinkable!”
“Why did he…”
Amelie was confused.
“You’re wondering why he is doing so, aren’t you? Even you don’t know! What’s more, he doesn’t even know who you are until now, so do you still want to trust him?”
Rex looked at Amelie seriously, hoping she would think clearly.
“I didn’t expect her to meet Lamont, and this news did quite surprise me.”
“So, suspend all plans for now. We will discuss it after I have investigated it. I remember you said
that Leila was taken away because there is a bigger force in this, and that is Lamont. Why would he help you so much? Leila is his fiancée, and he did this. Why? Have you ever thought about it?”
“Of course, I’ve thought about it. He approached me about cooperation, saying that as long as…”
Amelie stopped abruptly and didn’t continue.
“Amelie, he’s a businessman! Sober up!”
Rex admonished.
Amelie then came to her senses, not knowing for a moment what to do.
“But, but why is he doing this?”
“It’s simple. He’s doing it for Prosperity Global Entertainment. Is there any other reason?”
Amelie was in an unusually low mood, and she looked helplessly out the window.
“Well, I’ll take you back to your apartment. Just stay home for the next few days until I find out what’s going on.”
Rex started the car and drove towards the apartment.
For a day or two, Amelie rested in the park, would get up early, make a simple breakfast, and then. just sit in her study and watch the latest financial news.
She wasn’t sure what she was waiting for.
Rex had put her under complete house arrest, and there was no way to leave unless she had his permission.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the room.
Amelie slowly got up, thinking it was Rex bringing her lunch.
But when he opened the door, he found that what appeared in front of him was an unfamiliar face.
“Ms. Cisneros, so you are indeed at home.”
“Who are you?”
Amelie did not let him in but looked at him warily.
The man in front of her was wearing a black uniform and a baseball cap on his head. Upon closer inspection, Amelie then realized that the man in front of her was a deliveryman.
“Ms. Cisneros, you have a delivery, and you need to sign for it.’
After saying that, he handed a box to Amelie.
“I have a delivery? I didn’t buy anything. You must have delivered the wrong one.”
Amelie wasn’t going to take it and was then about to close the door.
“Ms. Cisneros, wait a minute, the delivery does have your information on it. Why don’t you take a look at it? What if someone else bought it for you?”
