Chapter 29
Leila frowned, and her face grew darker.
However, Briley quickly took out a USB drive from Leila’s bag. She and Amelie looked at each other. Then, she quickly inserted it into the computer.
Seeing this, Leila gritted her teeth and cursed, “It is illegal to peek at other people’s privacy. Amelie, do you deliberately break the law or do you ignore the law?”
“Don’t use the law to scare me. Don’t you know what kind of dastardly deeds you have done?” Arnelie glanced at her indifferently.
Hearing this, Leila was so angry that she wanted to rush forward, but Amelie blocked her.
“You…
“Do you believe that I will tell Lamont?”
Amelie sneered and looked at Leila as if she was looking at an idiot. “He is nobody.”
Leila could not say a word for a long time. She could only watch with a livid face as Briley dumped out the contents of the USB and copied them onto the computer.
There was not only Amelie’s disreputable history but also Rohan’s photos….
Seeing this, Amelie snorted coldly and thought, she had so many trump cards. No wonder she hid them so tightly.
Seeing that the matter was exposed, Leila directly reached out her hand to pull out the USB, but Amelie grabbed her wrist. Amelie raised her eyebrows and sneered, “Oh, are you anxious?”
“Humph… Do you think you are clean?”
Leila scolded angrily, looking like a contemptible scoundrel.
“Leila, watch your mouth. Don’t you know what kind of person you are?” Briley’s face was suddenly sullen.
Amelie shook off Leila’s wrist in disgust as if she was throwing a rag.
Leila’s wrist was red. She covered it and her eyes turned red in an instant.
“You! You’re just an assistant. How dare you talk to me like this? I want to expose you!”
Amelie was speechless. She thought, people may be sympathy for Leila if she pretended to be pathetic in front of them, but it was useless to use this trick in front of me.
“Your acting is quite good. I’ll open a live broadcast for you and let people see that you have been bullied again.”
As she spoke, Amelie pretended to get her phone.
Leila changed her expression in a second, and her fierce expression almost made her face distort.
Now Leila was no longer the beautiful and charming girl on the Internet that everyone pursued. That was just her public image that she disguised.
Amelie reached out to grab Leila’s arm and pulled her back. Leila fell to the ground, looking awkward.
“Leila, at first, I thought you were a brainless idiot who loved to show off. I didn’t expect your methods to be so despicable.”
As she spoke, Amelie took the USB from Briley and threw it on the ground without any hesitation, trampling it to pieces.
Leila’s expression changed when she saw it. She wanted to reach out and take it back, but she was kicked by Amelie.
Leila winced in pain and tears in her eyes, but she was helpless against Amelie.
“Amelie, I’ll kill you!” Leila was so angry that her face reddened.
“Okay…”
Amelie responded, slowly squatted in front of her, and said disdainfully, “Leila, I advise you not to mess with me, otherwise…”
Leila widened her eyes in fear. For some reason, the current Amelie made her feel endless fear.
When she walked out of the room, she was still absent–minded.
“Leila, how are you? Let me see…” Julia looked at her worriedly and frowned.
However, Leila shook off her hand. She thought, this pain is nothing to me.
She turned around and glanced at Julia. “Have you recorded everything I asked you to?”
Hearing this, Julia felt a little guilty, but she still patted her backpack confidently and said, “Yes, I have recorded it.”
“That’s good.” Leila smiled coldly and thought, Amelie, I will not let go of you, just waiting to be ruined.
Just as Leila and Julia were about to go downstairs, two people suddenly rushed out from the side, wanting to catch them.
Leila was so frightened that her face turned pale and she cried out in alarm.
“Help! Robbery!”
Before Julia could shout, the two men skillfully covered Leila and Julia’s mouths and pinned their arms behind them, dragging them into the stairwell.
“Oh, oh…”
Leila, whose mouth was covered, had a face full of fear.
“Don’t move. If you shout, we will kill you two!”
One of them held a knife to control Leila and Julia, and the other person searched for phones and other electronic products in their bags.
Leila was already seared out of her wits and begged the man with the knife, “I will give you whatever you want. Don’t hurt my face. I am a star. I have to earn my living based on how I look…”
“Hmph, even a big star is afraid of death!”
The man with the knife teased Leila. The other person was done searching. Without any more nonsense, the two quickly left the scene.
“Leila, what should we do now?”
Julia was frightened. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing.
Leila was not much better, but she was still smarter than Julia.
“Call the police!”
“Oh… but my phone…” Julia said in a daze. It was the new phone she had just bought. The loan had not been paid yet. Julia thought, oh, my phone!
The evidence was on the phone.
“Good for nothing.” Leila cursed angrily and thought, Julia managed to record the evidence, but I did not expect that we would be robbed the moment we went out.
Could it be Amelie? But she shouldn’t be so smart.
Leila stomped her feet angrily. If she knew who did it, she would teach that person a lesson.
She smoothed her hair and was about to leave when she heard the sound of steady footsteps.
She looked through the gap in the stairwell and saw Lamont.
Leila hurriedly fixed her clothes and hair, turned around, and asked Julia, “How do I look now?”
“Your hair is a bit messy, and your makeup is messed up.” Julia was still grieving about the loss of her phone and did not flatter Leila as usual.
“That’s good.”
Leila nodded with satisfaction. When she saw Lamont pass by, she immediately ran out of the stairs just in time to bump into him.
“Lamont!”
Leila was flustered and became tearful, which made people feel sorry for her.
Seeing this, Lamont frowned and looked at her in confusion.
