Chapter 6

At the same time, Leila was waiting to receive the news that Amelie had been arrested and imprisoned.

However, after waiting for a long time, what she received was a summons from the court.

She was charged with the premeditated murder of Draven.

And the person suing was Amelie.

Instantly, Leila flipped out. She paced around the room in exasperation.

She thought, I found the best lawyer in the city. I can't believe Amelie still gets away with it. What's more, she is suing me?

Isn't she just a poor girl from an ordinary family?

How does she manage to do that?

Leila gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She made up her mind that the next time she met Amelie, she would kill Amelie, since that would be the only way to vent her anger!

"Did it get delivered?"

When they left the police station, Amelie turned to look at the lawyer beside her.

The lawyer nodded. "It was sent out this morning. It should have been delivered by now. We have received the money already."

Hearing the lawyer's words, Amelie pursed her rosy lips slightly. She looked at the astronomical figure in her account, and a hint of ridicule appeared in her eyes.

She thought, I wonder what Lamont will look like when he receives the package.

She was overjoyed when thinking of Lamont's long face.

She thought, I suffered when I was with the Byron family for five years, and now, it's time for me to get even with them bit by bit.

Lamont was in the Byron Group.

He sat behind his desk with a gloomy face, clenching his fists so hard that his knuckles turned pale.

This morning, he found that half the assets in the company account had been cashed out.

He had someone track it down and found that the receiving account was in Australia.

Suddenly, Hector, his assistant, knocked on the door and came in with a brown paper bag, saying that it was a package that had been delivered this morning, and only Lamont was allowed to open it.

Lamont frowned as he opened it only to see a folder inside.

Inside the folder were the divorce papers that Amelie had already signed and a letter.

According to the agreement, half of the property of the Byron Group belonged to Amelie. The court had already confirmed that it had automatically taken effect this morning.

Half of the company's assets were now in Amelie's account.

Lamont gritted his teeth in hatred, and the temples on his forehead throbbed.

He suppressed his anger and opened the letter.

Amelie's handwriting was elegant, and there were only a few words.

"Considering the five years of hard work and labor in the Byron's home as well as the damages I've suffered due to the wrong accusation, I take half of your assets, which is not much."

Through the letter, Lamont felt that he could see Amelie's complacent face.

He immediately was furious. He crumpled up the letter, threw it into a trash can, picked up his phone, and dialed Amelie's number.

Married to Amelie for five years, he never took the initiative to call her.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of their divorce, he was forced to make this call.

It never occurred to him that her phone was turned off!
