Chapter 109 Ambush
The matter of Amelie being kidnapped was quickly spread through all sorts of rumors. The news spread like wildfire. By the time Amelie went to work at the company, almost everyone knew about it.
She did not know what Jeff was trying to do to investigate this matter. In short, this method really caused a lot of trouble for Amelie.
She managed to avoid reporters and paparazzi and went to the company. When she arrived at the company entrance, she was surrounded by reporters who blocked the company entrance. Amelie took a deep breath. Sure enough, it was not good for her to leave the company. She had just come back, so why did she have to come to the company to work on her first day of return?
“Ms. Mullen, were you kidnapped because of the workplace competition or because of personal grudges?”
“Ms. Mullen, can you describe to us what the bad guys who kidnapped you did to you?”
These reporters had put in a lot of effort to get a headline and were cheeky. Amelie was so angry that she almost fainted from these unscrupulous questions.
“I’m sorry, everyone. I was lucky enough not to be tortured to death by the kidnappers. But today, I am going to be drowned by your saliva.”
Amelie was not the kind of weak lady who was easily bullied by others. She was vengeful and would not let these shameless reporters ruin her mood.
Sure enough, the face of the reporter who was blocking the way turned pale when he heard her words. However, Amelie was outnumbered. Many reporters rushed to ask her
questions.
The next reporter was even more ruthless. He held the big equipment that was as heavy
as he was and took photos of Amelie.
“Ms. Mullen, looking at the wounds on your body, I think that the bad guys must have
tortured you for a long time. But how did you adjust your state of mind in just one night? Is this a self– directed act behind the scenes to promote your company?”
His words were harsh.
Amelie even wanted to curse and hit him. But she forced herself to smile at the reporter in front of her coldly.
She took a step towards that person, and her tone became even stiffer.
“I’m beautiful enough to withstand any angle of shooting. If you don’t have any topics to write about, I don’t mind bringing a few friends to your newspaper office to take photos!”
“Ms. Mullen has a lot of things to do every day. I don’t believe that anyone will be so insensible as to block Ms. Mullen’s way!”
This voice made people tremble. Amelie had not heard this familiar voice for a long time. But she still found it as annoying as ever.
The person who helped Amelie out was Lamont.
the bad guys
“Everyone, Ms. Mullen has just been bullied by lawbreakers. Right now, the bad are escaping from punishment and have yet to be severely punished. What you should do is find out all the information about the bad guys, instead of targeting a weak
woman!”
Everyone would respect Lamont, not to mention the reporters. If they provoked Lamont, they would face more terrible consequences than being banned.
With Lamont’s words, not only could they not get any gossip from Amelie today, but all the news about Amelie being kidnapped could not be released. Otherwise, they would be going against the Byron family.
How explosive the news would be, but the reporters couldn’t report it and returned with
disappointment.
At present, only Amelie and Lamont were left. He had helped Amelie out. No matter how
reluctant she was, Amelie should thank Lamont.
Amelie said it with unwillingness and reluctance.
“Thank you.”
In the end, Amelie expressed her gratitude reluctantly.
Lamont stared at Amelie from head to toe for a long time. Amelie felt uncomfortable by his gaze, and he withdrew his gaze and revealed a slight smile.
“Are you alright? Did you go to the hospital for a checkup?”
“Not yet.”
It was rare that Lamont was concerned about her health. But she was not in the mood to accept the pretense of anyone.
“Anyway, thank you for helping me out today. I still have something to do, so I’ll be leaving first.”
Amelie looked indifferent. He turned around and left without hesitation, which made Lamont unhappy. However, the more he thought about it, the more interesting it was. Lamont was about to leave when Jeff walked past him. Then Lamont suddenly stopped.
Lamont thought, when did he get so close to Amelie?
Jeff seemed to be in a close relationship with Amelie. They talked and laughed along the way. It was a sharp contrast to her attitude to Lamont just now. Lamont became even
more unpleasant.
He snorted coldly, shook his hand, and strode away. He was depressed the whole day, and until night, he could no longer hold it in and directly called Jeff. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“Come out and have a drink. The location has been sent to your phone.”
Jeff was in a good mood and happily went to the appointed place. After two or three glasses of whiskey, he began to let himself go.
“You mean Amelie? She’s my type. She’s good–looking and smart. I like her.”
Lamont silently clenched his fists. After hearing this, he became even angrier.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Lamont simply changed the topic. Lamont was also curious about Amelie’s kidnapping. He wanted to take the opportunity
to know the details from Jeff.
“Who do you think would be so bold to kidnap Amelie? Is it because he likes Amelie?”
“How is this possible? Willard is not a good person. He is a bastard. He’s not worthy of Amelie. He just envies the Mullen family!”
Lamont’s cold eyes narrowed. He did not expect that Willard was behind this matter.
Fortunately, Jeff did not know the relationship between him and Amelie. After drinking two glasses of wine, Jeff felt free to say anything.
But Lamont really did not expect that Willard had already extended his hand to the Mullen family.
Lamont still remembered Willard shifting the property of the Byron family and framing
Lamont’s mother.
It was better to settle old and new grudges together!
Lamont immediately sent people to investigate this matter and kept an eye on Willard’s account at all times.
If Lamont released the order at night, there would be news in the morning.
Sure enough, Willard indeed got a large sum of money.
Without further ado, Lamont directly called Amelie.
Her phone rang, and Amelie was rejecting the call, but in the end, she still compromised and answered the phone.
After learning that the matter was related to Willard, Amelie quickly rushed over to meet Lamont. They directly searched for the address left behind by the account.
“Be careful!”
As soon as she got out of the car, Amelie did not even have time to react to what was
going on before she was protected by Lamont, who was flying over to her. A pot of broken ceramic pot fell straight down on his head.
Before they could react, more than a dozen men in black rushed up. All of them looked ruthless.
They were ambushed.
