Hearing that, Eden was unhappy. Aaron explained to her.
“They have some unfinished business in Australia and will be back soon. But they had gifts prepared for you when they knew you were coming back.”
With that, Aaron ordered the servants to bring the gifts up.
Rex gave her a black and gold card with 100 million dollars in deposits.
Mark got her a set of international haute couture luxury jewelry.
Tyler bought a listed company that Amelie had wanted five years ago. As a gift celebrating her return, it had been signed in her name.
Although they were abroad, they missed Amelie and cared about her a lot.
Amelie smiled, feeling warm, “Alright then. I will accept all of them. Thank them for me, OK?”
But when Eden glanced at the gifts, he pulled a long face.
“They are outrageous. Do they think these things can be compared with Amelie? What kind of job can be more important than Amelie, their sister?”
The more Eden spoke, the angrier he became. He simply nestled on the sofa and pulled the gifts to the side, waiting to teach Rex, Mark, and Tyler a lesson.
Aaron pulled a wry face as he spread out his hands, his eyes filled with helplessness.
“Dad, when Amelie left, you said that you would never recognize her as your daughter again, and even we weren’t allowed to speak for her. How come you change your mind now?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Eden turned his head, acting tough, and then grabbed Amelie’s soft hand and looked at her with a kind smile.
“Things have changed. Anyway, Amelie is back now. Experience matters, and it is the experience that makes her even more perfect. Of course, I have to dote on her.”
Amelie thought helplessly, Dad, you’re a grown man. Act like one! Stick to your words, OK?
Seeing how Eden doted on her, Amelie had mixed feelings.
In those five years, she had been tortured when she was with the Byron family. What kind of experience was that? How did that make her more perfect?
After they chatted with Amelie for a long time, Tyler seemed to have thought of something as he mocked.
“I heard that Lamont is going to hold a banquet in Oakland. He is already on his way here. He has

been nothing but a bully to Amelie. I can’t believe he still has the nerve to come to Oakland and try to cooperate with us.”
Hearing that, Eden immediately gave the order. No one was allowed to attend the banquet.
“From now on, no one of you is allowed to appear anywhere where Lamont is present. No one is allowed to cooperate with him!”
Eden spoke resolutely, and his sons agreed without hesitation.
However, Amelie’s eyes flickered with a strange light flashing across them.
“Dad, he and I have already divorced. We are already strangers. Since he is willing to come here and offer us money, why should we turn him away?”
Amelie had a cunning look on her delicate face, and she looked like a scheming fox, which confused others. No one knew what she was thinking.
Back then, Lamont treated her like trash and abandoned her. Right now, she was looking forward to
seeing the expression on Lamont’s face when he saw her again.
In a banquet hall in Oakland.
After settling Karina down, Lamont waited anxiously for the Mullen family to arrive without
blinking.
The purpose of his visit to Oakland this time was to reach an agreement with the richest man in
Oakland.
Tyler was currently the CEO of the Mullen Group. Back then, he sent an invitation to Tyler.
Although many officials and dignitaries were here today, they were all from out of town. Among all the noble families in Oakland, only the Springer family’s couple attended the banquet, and Tyler
was nowhere to be seen.
If Tyler did not show up, there was no need for the banquet to continue at all.
Just as everyone was discussing, a waiter outside suddenly entered and said that Tyler had arrived.
Lamont tidied up his suit and got up to go welcome Tyler.
Outside the venue, a man dressed in a navy blue suit was slowly walking over. His face was delicate
and handsome, and his body exuded a noble aura.
And Tyler did not come alone. He was accompanied by a well–dressed woman holding his arm.
Lamont took a look, and his face instantly darkened.
It was Amelie.
