Press Conference
“Ms. Aylward, of course not, but this matter is quite risky, and I’d like to request more compensation.”
“Risky? Isn’t it just investigating something, for me? I don’t understand where the risk lies. However,
you should think this through carefully, as stealing a document is no small matter. 200,000 dollars is a
considerable sum for you, and it all depends on your sincerity.”
“Well…”
The man hesitated, and it became apparent that they were engaging in illegal transactions.
Since Leila’s return, everything had been exceptionally challenging, for her.
Leila was determined to marry Lamont as soon as possible, but unexpected obstacles kept getting in
her way, especially Amelie, who was a huge impediment. She tried everything in her power to ruin
Amelie, but her attempts. always failed.
This time, she was willing to do whatever it took, even if she and Lamont couldn’t be together in the
end. She wanted to find an opportunity to destroy Amelie completely, and only then would she be
content.
“Ms. Aylward, since you agree with me, I won’t say anything more. The total amount is 200,000 dollars,
and I hope you won’t violate our agreement. However, I require that you give me 1 million dollars
upfront. Otherwise, I cannot proceed.”
The man in front of her was very c*nning and shrewd, far from being foolish.
Although Leila was reluctant to comply, she had no choice but to agree and handed him a check.
“Then let’s keep our word.”
The conversation between Leila and the man was not known to anyone else, and no one knew about
their schemes.
After Lamont and Amelie finished dinner, they were ready to leave. Before leaving, Amelie glanced at
where Leila was sitting and noticed that there was only one man sitting there, and Leila was nowhere to
be found.
“What’s wrong? What are you looking at?”
Lamont asked curiously, noticing that she seemed preoccupied.
“Nothing,” Amelie replied.
She thought to herself, “It’s just my own suspicion.”
Back at the apartment, they could finally rest.
Amelie noticed that Emilee was much better, and she knew that she just had to investigate carefully to
find evidence and seek justice for Emilee.
Two days later, there was a press conference for the production team. The location for the conference
was very high-profile, and Amelie was surprised to learn of it.
“How did Mr. Garcia manage to arrange such a large venue?” she wondered.
“Amelie, don’t be surprised. Have you forgotten who the investors are?”
Belen explained, and Amelie finally realized.
It turned out that everything was Lamont’s doing behind the scenes. Amelie thought to herself, “It
seems he’s doing it purely to help me.”
“Amelie, Mr. Byron is so good to you. You should reconcile with him as soon as possible. Whatever
happened in the past, it’s over now. If you keep holding grudges, it will only make you feel worse in the
long run,” Belen said.
She had a point, but Amelie remained silent, feeling anxious.
Although Amelie knew Lamont’s feelings for her, she couldn’t make up her mind.
She was just worried that she would repeat the same mistakes and could never forget the pain of the
past.
“What about this dress for tonight’s banquet?”
Amelie quickly changed the subject, showing Belen a black dress.
“It’s a nice dress, but it’s too conservative,” Belen commented.
Amelie looked at herself in the mirror and thought, “That’s true. Although it’s conservative, it still
highlights my
figure.”
“We need to be conservative for this occasion. Remember, several investors will be there, including Mr.
Evans, and I have a feeling he’s not to be trusted. I don’t want to have too much contact with him,”
Amelie said.
“Amelie, we don’t have to worry so much. Mr. Byron will also be there, and he will surely protect you.”
“I’ll act like a stranger to him at this event. Otherwise, it will only cause more controversy,” Amelie said.
Amelie was always cautious, especially in the entertainment industry, where everything had to be done
with great
care.
“Well then…”
In the end, Amelie chose the black dress, which although conservative, accentuated her slim figure.
It was adorned with several diamonds, giving it an elegant yet not ostentatious appearance.
It looked perfect on Amelie.
“Amelie, I didn’t expect this dress to look so simple in design, but it looks beautiful on you.”‘
Belen looked at Amelie in amazement, and felt her eyes light up instantly.
“It’s alright. We should get going as it’s almost time.”
Amelie was feeling quite indifferent.
Amelie and Belen arrived at the party venue on time, but the others had not yet arrived. Mr. Garcia was
already seated at the head table, arranging the details of the party.
As soon as he saw Amelie arrive, he quickly got up and walked over to her.
“Long time no see.”
“Mr. Garcia, you are here. We’ve only been apart for a few days. Do you miss me already?”
“Of course. Although we only worked together briefly, I enjoyed our time together. I hope we can
collaborate again in
the future.”
Amelie smiled and did not say anything, then found a seat and sat down.
The entire party was quite simple since it was close to the press conference, and everyone was just
going through the motions of being there.
After all, good relationships in the entertainment industry were not true friendships.
Amelie looked around but could not see Cynthia anywhere.
It was strange, and she thought to herself, “She should be here by now.”
“Amelie, would you like some water? You seem a little bit thirsty.”
Belen was considerate and poured a glass of water for Amelie, which she placed in front of her.
At that moment, the real protagonist finally arrived.
It was Lamont.
Initially, he didn’t want to attend today’s press conference, but because Amelie was the lead actress, he
decided to show up and support her.
Chris immediately got up and showed great respect when he saw Lamont.
“Mr. Byron, you’ve arrived. Please take a seat.”
Chris acted very positively, but Amelie gave him a cold look and didn’t pay much attention.
The party went smoothly without any unexpected incidents.
The time for the press conference had arrived, although it was more of a promotional event than an
actual press
conference.
This drama had a decent reputation in the industry, but since it was a martial arts drama, it didn’t have
a lot of fans. They had to rely on public events to increase their popularity and improve their viewership.
Amelie emerged from backstage wearing a black gown, with Cynthia by her side.
“Amelie, I didn’t really want to come today, especially after what happened before. I was afraid it would
be awkward to run into that person. But to my surprise, Lamont had already dealt with that matter
privately,” Cynthia said.
Amelie only realized this after hearing Cynthia’s words,.
