Delayed Affection
Even the Mullen family’s mansion in Oakland entered the foreclosure stage in an instant.
The attention of this matter reached more than 120 million in a short time, and the wealthy family in
Oakland for many years fell down in just a moment.
All of this was too unexpected, and there was no room for people to react. How could such a strong
family be tripped up so easily?
The power and assets of the Mullen family in Oakland had reached a certain level, and the bankruptcy
of the Mullen family was equivalent to the loss of the economic growth value of Oakland in ten years.
The rise and fall of a normal family were tempered by time, but this time the Mullen family seemed to
choose to fade into history deliberately.
Everyone couldn’t believe it, even Lamont didn’t expect that. He said, “How could it be so fast? It
shouldn’t be so fast.” Lamont randomly clicked on a piece of news about the Mullen family, and the
comment area was horrific.
There were a lot of filthy insults to Amelie and her family.
Lamont was also angry and said, “It’s easy for them to say, and they dare not speak when someone is
stronger than themselves, and they will step on anyone if they get the chance!”
Amelie could only sneer.
“The Mullen family should get used to this kind of life soon.”
In the days to come, the Mullen family would be spurned, neglected and rejected by everyone.
Those who remained neutral would only say something regretful, because this world was dominated by
the law of jungle.
Regardless of whether you were once a king or not, once you fell from the altar, thousands of people
would overwhelm you in an instant.
Lamont sighed slightly. Despite the unpleasant experience and deep hatred between them, at this
moment, he didn’t want the woman standing in front of him to give up on herself.
“I think there will be a big break. Be happy, don’t be like this, let’s find a way together.”
This should be the first time that Lamont talked to her nicely.
There was a wry smile on Amelie’s face, and now even Lamont was pitying himself.
“If something like this happened to the Byron family, can you be happy because I want you to be so?”
“You don’t have to pity me so much, I don’t need it!”
Turning around to leave, she seemed to be able to feel that Lamont was heartbroken.
“Am I so unreliable in your eyes? When will you trust me once?”
Did she really not believe him?
She once would rather renounce with the family, abandon all her identities, and only want to be with
Lamont for the rest of her life, wasn’t it because that she believed in him?
What did this person that she trusted the most do to her?
He could tolerate the mistress and the sister–in–law but did not help her. As soon as Draven died, he
sent her to prison immediately and killed their child without finding out the truth of Draven’s death.
Lamont had never trusted her, so it was ridiculous to force her to trust him.
One thing after another was accumulated in her heart, like a hard lump that couldn’t go away. She
could only work hard to paralyze her brain.
Only by doing so, she wouldn’t feel pain.
“Do you think I want to live in this way? Do you think I’m happy?”
“I once imagined that there would always be a perfect love, and I also felt that I could have a sincere
relationship. At that time,
I trusted you, but you disappointed me time and time again, didn’t you, Mr. Byron?”
“Don’t you think you are also responsible for our relationship now?”
“If it weren’t for…”
“Until now, do you still think that I was the one who killed Draven?”
“This is already very contradictory, Mr. Byron. Are you now determined to help a murderer who killed
Draven?”
“Are you not afraid of being scolded by the ancestors of the Byron family as an unworthy descendant?”
“We have been enemies all our lives, and this fact cannot be changed.”
Before Lamont finished speaking, she turned back, which really angered him.
“So you have now admitted that you are the murderer of Darven?”
During this time, Lamont had been sending people to investigate the matter of Draven being framed,
and he was trying to prove Amelie’s innocence in his heart.
“I am still using all my forces to investigate this matter, trying to prove your innocence, but now you find
it troublesome to even explain more.”
How he hoped that one day he would be able to prove that she was innocent with strong evidence to
convince himself and give the Byron family an explanation.
Even though he still couldn’t prove whether Amelie was the murderer who killed his grandfather, he
couldn’t help falling in love with this fascinating woman.
He found that the more she tried to be away from him, the more he couldn’t leave her.
For Lamont, this was a kind of betrayal of the family.
But this matter that completely drew the line between the two gave Amelie a different feeling.
What she wanted was not the evidence to prove her innocence, but Lamont’s trust in her.
But he didn’t give her the trust she deserved, and he was even emphasizing the matter of re–
investigating, which was like dragging her into the mire.
Belated affection is of no value. The former Amelie had gone with her child, and she and Lamont
couldn’t go back at all since
then.
He didn’t understand the pain at all.
Amelie was tired of explaining this matter long ago, and it was meaningless to say more.
“Mr. Byron, you can think what you want to.”
Amelie walked out, but her hands and feet felt numb as if an electric circuit had been passed through.
There were bursts of roaring in her ears, and her vision blurred.
She could only hear Lamont call her name desperately, but the voice became farther and farther away.
Until the last light in front of her disappeared, Amelie fainted.
Lamont didn’t bother to call someone, and caught her in his arms before she fell to the ground.
At that moment, he noticed that this woman was already too skinny. She was only a tiny one in his
arms, and she was so thin.
He originally thought that her malnutrition was caused by her anxiety of what happened these days and
bad eating habits, and she would recover after going to tube–fed in the hospital.
Lamont panicked completely when the doctor told him that she suffered from long–term anemia and
malnutrition, which
caused her to be weak.
What has this woman experienced?
In the past year since the divorce, she always appeared as the brightest star in the crowd. He thought
that this woman was doing well.
However, he didn’t know how much pain she had gone through and endured.
“Lamont!”
Outside the ward, Rex rushed over with Belen. The first thing he did was to grab Lamont’s collar.
