Chapter 24
Macey glanced at Amelie arrogantly, and then a familiar person walked in.
“Jorge!” Amelie couldn’t help but stand up and look at the old Jorge Darnell in shock.
“Jorge, tell everyone about your crime. Do you understand?”
Jorge had worked for the Byron family for almost half his life. He bent over, and his voice was hoarse.
Jorge told everyone how he did illegal things in the name of Leila.
“Impossible!”
Amelie walked up to Jorge and asked firmly, “Jorge, is this all fake?”
Amelie thought they took advantage of Jorge.
“Ms. Mullen…”
Jorge burst into tears. “I’ve let Mr. Byron down. I’ve let you down…”
Before he could finish his words, Jorge was taken away by the police.
Amelie was stunned and felt cold all over.
The atmosphere in the live channel reached its climax.
“Goodness! What a dramatic reversal!”
“Hahaha, I said that the beauty in the white dress couldn’t be the murderer. I guessed right!”
“She looks so innocent. How could she do that? Someone must be jealous of her and framed her.”
“Aren’t you talking about the one in the black windbreaker? It’s a pity that she has a hat and glasses, so I can’t see her face.”
“Heh, that woman is dressed in black. It’s bad luck. I guess she is not much better.”
The news on Leila soon became trending topic. “Why is the daughter of a wealthy family being framed“, and “Breaking news! The daughter of the wealthy family joined in the talent show“.
Leila was in the limelight for a while, and even the stock prices of the Byron Group and the Aylward Group were rising.
At the Starry Sea Entertainment.
“Ms. Mullen, are you okay?” Briley looked nervously at Amelie, who had been sitting quietly for the whole morning.
“No matter what, you’d better have some food.”
Amelie shook her head tiredly. Suddenly, the phone rang, and she immediately picked it up.
“Aaron, how is it? What’s going on with Jorge?”
Aaron frowned and said to her with some regret, “Jorge died after he turned himself in.”
“H–He… committed suicide?” Amelie muttered, almost absent–minded.
Tears rolled down her cheeks. “How could this be?”
“Amelie, it’s not your fault. Don’t overthink it. Sergio has already gone over to look into it, and
Emilee will stay with you. You must take care of yourself.”
Wiping away her tears, Amelie said in a broken voice, “Alright, I understand. I want to stay alone for a while.”
Amelie stayed in the office for an entire afternoon.
“What are you doing? Even if you don’t have an appetite, your baby has to eat.” Emilee watched Amelie finish her meal with pity and carefully helped her to the sofa.
