The Return of the Disguised Princess novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96 An Uninvited Guest

Lamont raised his head and glanced at Amelie. An imperceptible smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

“Alright, I’ve signed the bailing deal.”

Lamont pushed one of the contracts over, but he did not touch the other one.

Amelie did not take it. Instead, she raised her eyebrows slightly. “What? Why not sign the other?”

Lamont shrugged his shoulders. He knew in his heart that he had to accept the tyrannical terms of the second contract. He signed his name on the last page of the contract with his pen.

“Very good.” Amelie nodded in satisfaction. After arranging the documents, she put them into his bag. “Wait a moment. I will give the deal to the person in charge to take a look. You can leave after the confirmation.‘

“Yes.”

That night, people passing by the police station might see a man and a woman entering a Rolls–Royce Silver Ghost.

What was going on?

What was going on?

Miriam curled up on the sofa. Wrapped in a thick blanket, she stared at the phone screen

with a pale face.

She stared at the text sent by Macey. “Were you the one who opened the door to

Lamont’s office?”

Since she was holding onto her phone tightly, a thin layer of sweat appeared on

Miriam’s hand, which turned sticky and uncomfortable.

Ding.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

It was a call from Macey.

Miriam didn’t dare to pick it up. The crisp sound of the ringing filled the empty room. It

was quite strange.

Finally, the ringing stopped.

Miriam closed her eyes and leaned against the back of the chair in deep thought.

Macey would find her sooner or later. It was not a good idea to hide at home all the time.

She took her phone and bought a train ticket online.

She could at least choose to run away.

After buying the next morning’s train ticket to her hometown, Miriam began to pack

her clothes.

After working for more than half an hour, Miriam straightened her aching back and prepared to throw away the bag of trash at the door.

Unexpectedly, a tall figure appeared as soon as she opened the door.

“Ah! Help! Help!”

Miriam screamed and threw the trash bag in her hand at the man. She pressed against the door handle with the other hand to close the door, but the man outside had extended

one leg in.

Some neighbors peeked out their heads, but none of them came out.

“It’s me.”

Miriam heard a familiar voice when her heart was still thumping.

Is it … Mr. Byron?

Miriam immediately quieted down and looked outside through the crack in the door.

It was indeed Lamont.

Lamont had just been hit by a bag of trash. He was now standing outside with a gloomy face.

“Mr. Byron! You’re released!”

Miriam quickly opened the door and looked at Lamont with surprise and joy. Then, she squatted down awkwardly and picked up the trash bag outside the door. “I’m sorry, Mr. Byron. I thought that Ms. Aylward’s people wanted to harm me, so…”

“It’s fine. Let me in and we can talk.”

Lamont walked in and sat down in a corner of the sofa.

“Mr. Byron, would you like to drink something?”

Since she was packing things up, the room was a mess. Miriam nervously rubbed her

hands.

“No need.” Lamont simply looked around and said, “I can’t let my mother know that I was released. You should know a reliable housing agent, right? Help me rent a flat for

me to rest.”

“Ah, yes. Where exactly is the location you want?”
