The Return of the Disguised Princess novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 Earnest’s Secret

Amelie hurriedly looked around and found that no one was around. She quickly picked up the plate and stuffed it into her bosom.

She found a corner, held the plate in her palm, and studied it.

“I don’t know who dropped it, but the plate certainly stands for his high status!”

Amelie put the plate to her teeth and bit it.

“Oh! My teeth!”

She hurriedly took a look and found that a mark was left on the plate.

Without a doubt, it was made of gold.

Such a large gold plate was really rare.

She looked around vigilantly. Confirming that no one else was there, she prepared to

leave.

No sooner had she taken a few steps than she saw a familiar figure. To her surprise, it

was Willard’s lover.

Amelie was shocked by the coincidence. Why was she doing here? Could it be possible…

Then she saw another familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. It was Earnest.

The two ran into each other and smiled at the same time.

Amelie instantly tensed up.

What was their relationship? How did they know each other?

She quickly found a hidden place and observed them secretly.

The two just talked at the door without any other actions.

Amelie watched and felt anxious.

What kind of person was Earnest? Why was he related to Willard’s lover? And they agreed to meet here. It was really weird.

Although Amelie was full of doubts, she didn’t dare to linger.

About ten minutes later, the two separated.

Amelie hurriedly hid aside, for fear of being seen.

It wasn’t until that woman left that she heaved a sigh of relief.

Then she found that her phone picked up a signal.

She immediately called Lamont, hoping that he would come to pick her up.

As soon as she held up her phone, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

“You are really here!”

The speaker was none other than Earnest.

Amelie was startled and wanted to break free, but it was too late.

“How did you…”

“How did I find you? Do you think your petty trick can fool me?”

Earnest said coldly, a trace of indifference flashing in his eyes.

“What do you want? What is your relationship with Willard?”

Aware that she couldn’t escape, Amelie asked straightforwardly.

“I know what you want to know, but you shouldn’t know. Amelie, you shouldn’t have come back. Everything has changed with your return.”

With that, he sna tched her phone.

“Give me back my phone. You’re restricting my freedom. I’m a member of the Mullen family. Even if we’re not a top clan, our current power is still not something you can

trifle with.”

Amelie threatened, glaring at him.

“Do you know what you took? It’s evidence of Willard’s crime. It took me several years to get it. Do you know how much effort I put in?”

Evidence? Evidence against Willard.

Amelie’s eyes widened. She thought that she had heard it wrong.

“You heard me right. What I said is true.”

“Then, what are you…”

“Who am I? I thought Lamont would tell you everything. Ms. Mullen, don’t be too self-righteous. I advise you to be careful and not be deceived easily.”
