The Return of the Disguised Princess novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Negotiation

Tick…

Tick…

Amelie looked at the drenched Lamont in front of her, who was dripping water from his hair onto the floor, creating a particularly crisp sound.

“Are you … alright?” Amelie was torn between whether to hand him a towel or not.

Lamont, however, remained silent. From his heavy breathing, Amelie could tell that he was burning with anger now.

“That’s really impressive.”

In almost an instant, Lamont stood up and came to her side.

Amelie felt his icy–cold hand grab her neck from behind, pinching her flesh like an eagle catching a chick.

She shivered and bounced up from her seat as if she had been electrocuted, grabbing the cloth lying on the back of the chair and throwing it at him.

“Lamont, stop looking at me like that! If it weren’t for your harassment, our relationship wouldn’t have become so tense.”

Thinking of how Lamont had pestered her just now, Amelie immediately regained her confidence.

Lamont ignored her and instead started wiping the water stains off his designer suit with a handkerchief.

He was imposing without anger, which might be the best way to describe his current state.

“Forget it. Let’s talk about Rick’s matter.” Lamont tried to suppress his anger and make his voice sound gentle.

“There’s nothing to talk about.” Amelie retorted irritably, “I just took off your mask and made everyone see your true face.”

Lamont didn’t waste any words and took out a check from his suit pocket. “Here, you can fill in any amount you want. Just make Rick come out and clarify that he intentionally smeared Prosperity Global.”

Amelie stared at the check on the table in disbelief and thought, what is he doing? Is he looking down at the Mullen family?

How could my family stoop to such little money?

“Lamont, is this all you’ve got?” She grabbed the check and tore it to shreds before throwing it in front of Lamont. “Do you know how long Rohan has been set aside because of Prosperity Global’s crackdown? You think his lost years can be compensated with just this insignificant amount?

“And those artists you used all kinds of despicable means to poach from Starry Sea Entertainment. Because of the existence of people like you, the entertainment industry has been murky for so long!”

“Are you done yet?” Lamont looked at her impatiently.

“No! I’m not done yet! Listen! Improper competition is absolutely not allowed at any time and any place!

“If you don’t give me a clear and positive answer today, I will report Prosperity Global to the Industry and Commerce Bureau and let them thoroughly investigate how many hidden irregularities the so–called biggest entertainment company has!”

“Don’t be so ridiculous!” Lamont threw the towel he had been clutching onto the table and walked a few steps closer to Amelie.

“What value does an entertainment company have if it cannot even provide good resources? Our company just provided a better platform for those artists. What’s wrong with that?”

Amelie almost laughed out of anger.

She had never encountered such a person who had a robber’s mentality but thought he was benevolent.

“Since that, why don’t you just acquire all the entertainment companies on the market and gather all the artists in your company!”
