Dad?
Victoria almost vomited last night's dinner when he heard this, feeling nauseous, "Lucas, don't you understand human language? What relationship do I have with the Montgomery family now? What relationship do I have with you?"
Arnold endured the nausea and interjected, "The people from the Montgomery family see that you're doing better and that you're with Jack, so they want to flatter you!"
Although Lucas was blatantly mocked like this, he still forced a smile and said, "Victoria is my daughter. I didn't treat her well before, but now I just want to make it up to her..."
Lucas looked at Victoria, trying to please her, and shook the silver handcuffs on his hand, "But now your mom and I are locked up in prison. Even if I want to make it up to you, I can't. Victoria, how about this? You withdraw the charges first and let me and your mom out of prison. We'll prove to you that we can make it up to you!"
Victoria raised her eyebrows lightly, a hint of sarcasm in her beautiful eyes, "Lucas, what kind of wishful thinking are you doing? I've said it before, as long as I'm here, you won't be able to get out of jail!"
Lucas became anxious, unable to maintain his flattery anymore. Just as he was about to explode in anger, he caught a glimpse of Jack beside him and could only endure it.
Must this daughter of his push things to such an extreme?
Fortunately, there was still Amelia, who would definitely find a way to get him out of prison.
By then, relying on his unbreakable blood ties with Victoria, and Victoria's marriage to Jack, the Montgomery family would still benefit from the Moore family to some extent!
At that moment, Heidi knocked on the door of the conference room and looked at Victoria and Arnold respectfully, "Miss Montgomery, President Phillips, Amelia is here."
Upon hearing this, a long-awaited excitement crossed Arnold's eyes. The show was finally here.
Victoria looked at Heidi and calmly instructed, "According to the agreement with Amelia, go and sign the contract with her."
"Yes." Heidi acknowledged the instructions, nodded, and retreated calmly.
Lucas and Bella glanced at each other, seeing confusion and incomprehension in each other's eyes. Is Amelia here? In the Newtopia branch of the Starlight Consortium?
Signing a contract?
What contract?
Victoria couldn't understand, but he believed that Amelia was the most considerate and sensible daughter. He gave Bella a comforting look. Amelia must be finding a way, trying to establish connections, and finding elite lawyers to defend them.
Bella nodded. She had always been good to Amelia, and Amelia was so filial and considerate. Now that they were imprisoned, She must be heartbroken, her eyes swollen from crying.
At this moment, Victoria picked up a small remote control from the conference table, facing the projection device in front, and pressed the remote control.
Then, on the large and clear projection screen, the scene in the adjacent room was simultaneously played in the form of a live video broadcast.
"This is..." Bella was surprised.
Just as she spoke, she saw on the screen that the door of the adjacent room was opened, and Heidi and Amelia walked in together.
"It's Amelia!"
Seeing Amelia on the screen, Lucas excitedly shouted her name.
However, he thought that when he and Bella went to jail, Amelia would cry so much that her eyes would be swollen and her face, haggard. But on the screen, Amelia was wearing a lively and beautiful pink dress, with delicate makeup on her face, and the corners of her mouth were curled into a bright smile.
This...
How... Lucas and Bella glanced at each other, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. Why didn't Amelia seem worried about them at all?
When they were at the Montgomery Mansion, even if they accidentally bumped into something, Amelia would cry uncontrollably. Now that they were in prison, why did she seem so happy?
Bella subconsciously made an excuse for Amelia, guessing, "... Amelia is probably forcing a smile."
