“Although we all know it’s him, this clue is useless to us. All the evidence is not enough to charge him. If you go to the suburbs, you may meet one of his men.”
After hearing this, Amelie realized that Lamont stopped her for her own good.
“I didn’t expect that what you said was true. Thank you very much for this documentation. I won’t bother you again for further investigation, Mr. Byron.”
After Amelie finished speaking, she put the documents in her bag and was about to leave.
“What? You plan to leave just like that?”
Amelie turned to look at him and asked suspiciously, “Do you have anything else to say, Mr. Byron?”
“I know what you are investigating. If you wait for Coffey to help you, you will spend more time than expected to discover the truth. You can work with me. Besides, you know what I am capable of.
I found this document, which means I can help you with this.”
Amelie remained silent and pondered for a while.
Lamont was right. It took Coffey several days to find out what she asked, but Lamont found it easily and investigated it thoroughly. Maybe she should think about working with him if she wanted to get things done.
Thinking of this, she nodded.
“I didn’t know you were this kind-hearted. If you insist, I guess it won’t hurt to work with you. Although this person is dead, he must’ve kept the evidence. So I hope you can help me check if he has hidden the evidence.”
“You are so confident about this. Are you sure there is evidence?”
“Of course, you and I know what kind of person Willard is. He has done so many despicable things over the years. I believe this person must know it too. He must’ve kept something up in his sleeves.”
Lamont narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Amelie’s words, and then pointed to the car at the door.
“If you want my help, then have lunch with me.”
Lamont invited her to lunch again, and this time, Amelie did not refuse.
She knew she had to make some sacrifices if she wanted to succeed.
“Okay, since you invite me so kindly, I am not going to refuse. What do you want to have for lunch, Mr. Byron? My treat.”
They got into the car and left in a hurry.
Coffey suddenly received a text message just when he was about to arrive at the studio.
It was from Lamont, and he was fumed.
“Asshole!”
He parked the car on the other side of the road, looking at the text with thunderous face.
Lamont got the opportunity to spend time!
At this time, Lamont and Amelie arrived at a restaurant not far away.
A waiter came over to get their order.
“Sir, ma’am, you can look at the menu and see what you want to eat.”
Amelie took the menu and glanced through it briefly.
“Just bring us specials. I believe it will taste good,” Amelie said with a smile.
However, her eyes were fixed on Lamont the whole time.
“What do you think, Mr. Byron?”
“I love that. It’s your treat, order whatever you want, Ms. Cisneros.”
The waiter left after taking their order.
