Chapter 360 Entering the Showbiz
He was still wearing a black suit and was dressed formally.
Amelie could tell with just one glance that it was Lamont.
Although he was far away, Amelie knew that the aura of his body could not be imitated by anyone.
Amelie slowly walked up to him.
“Mr. Byron, I hope this cooperation will be successful. I didn’t expect you to come to pick me up in person, which quite panicked me.”
Lamont’s gaze was always on Amelie’s body.
“Mr. Byron?” Amelie called out to Lamont once more, and he responded.
“Ms. Cisneros, please get in the car.”
In the car, they remained silent. It was not until halfway through the journey that Amelie, unable to hold back her curiosity, spoke.
“Mr. Byron, you haven’t told me what kind of dinner party it is.”
Lamont turned his head to look at him, and then he placed an invitation in her hand.
“You can take a look at it. This dinner party is very important.” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Amelie opened the invitation, looked at the contents, and instantly showed a shocked expression.
“Willard is going to enter showbiz? How come? Shouldn’t he save his daughter first now?”
“This is not known. Lella has not made any movement, after all, tomorrow is the court trial. We won’t know the outcome of everything until the trial is over.”
Lamont said calmly.
“Why do I always have a bad feeling that this is Willard’s conspiracy.”
Amelie casually set the invitation aside.
“Ms. Cisneros, I feel the same way as you do. It’s such a crunch time, and Willard is only thinking about himself. What’s more, if he turns to the entertainment industry, it means that he is fighting against me in front of all of them, and perhaps a hard battle will follow.”
Amelie pondered for a moment with a shocked face.
“I see. The reason he’s transforming now is that he already knows what I’ve got.”
Amelie took a deep breath.
She had already arranged all her traces in a covert manner, but she never expected that Willard would still know about it.
Lamont listened with some confusion.
“What does Ms. Cisneros mean by that? Do you have something about Willard?”
Amelie didn’t say anything, trying to hide.
Lamont laughed helplessly.
“Ms. Cisneros, it’s better not to hide between us, after all, we are partners. There is no benefit in. hiding. Willard is now our common enemy. Are you going to let him off the hook?”
“Of course, I don’t mean that, but it’s just not suitable to tell you. Mr. Byron, when the time is right, I will naturally ell you.”
“The time is right? When? Isn’t it now?”
Lamont looked at her warmly.
Amelie was a little flustered, hesitant to tell him the news she had gotten. If she kept it to herself, Lamont would not be sincere in working with her.
“Ms. Cisneros, if you don’t want to talk about it, forget it. The cooperation between us can only be put on hold for the time being.”
Amelie heard these words before she asked.
“Mr. Byron, why do you have to make things difficult on purpose? Since you want to know this news so much, I can tell you. I met with the original finance director of the Aylward Group. This was a big breakthrough for me. I also managed to find something wrong. Mr. Byron, if you also find it unbelievable, I would like to ask you to lend a helping hand to determine this matter as soon as possible.”
“Of course, after all, honesty and openness are the fundamentals of cooperation.”
Amelie was surprised that Lamont didn’t act strangely knowing this news, and he didn’t even feel curious.
She wanted to ask but held back.
They arrived at the entrance of the party.
Amelie intended to follow him when he got out of the car.
To her surprise, Lamont took her hand directly.
“Mr. Byron, please behave yourself! There are a lot of media here.”
“So what?”
“Did you forget? I am your cousin’s fiancee, and our being so close will only bring more trouble.”
Amelie said and shook off his hand, then walked straight towards the party.
Lamont followed behind him, a little despondent, but soon recovered as usual.
Amelie walked into the party and looked at the crowd, a little uneasy.
She was worried that she might run into Aaron and Rex.
Most of the people here were high-end people in the industry. How could she not run into those two?
The two did attract a lot of people’s attention.
They all looked over curiously.
“Why is this woman so familiar?”
“Have you forgotten? This is Coffey’s fiancee!”
“You’re right! Why is she with Lamont?”
Quite a few voices reached her ears, and her face went very pale.
She tried to leave, but Lamont pulled her tightly.
“Lamont, what are you doing? So many people are watching us! I’m your cousin’s wife!”
“Ms. Cisneros, you’d better stop struggling and don’t forget what we’re here for. Don’t care about what others are looking at. This is an internal party, the press won’t put out the news.”
“You!”
Amelie was very helpless but had no way to resist, so she had to say nothing more.
Lamont led her to the other side of the venue and then found a seat.
The waiter brought the champagne.
Amelie wasn’t in the mood to drink it and still kept glancing around the crowd.
“You don’t have to look for it, Willard hasn’t come over yet. For the Aylward Group, this party is important. Don’t worry. He will come.”
Amelie was relieved to hear Lamont’s reassurance.
Lamont picked up the champagne and handed it to her.
“Here, I toast you and wish us success.”
“Mr. Byron, that’s a little early for you to say.”
Amelie simply ignored him and sat quietly.
About ten minutes passed, and music started to play on the middle stage.
Amelie looked up and saw Willard’s figure. She instantly became much calmer.
“Thank you all for coming to the Aylward Group’s dinner. As you all know, the Aylward Group is officially entering showbiz today. This news is unexpected for everyone. In fact, I had to think twice before making this decision. The reason for this dinner today is to establish a friendly relationship with you all. The Aylward Group’s entertainment company will depend on your support.”
Willard raised his glass after finishing his speech, and many people on stage also made the same action.
