The Return of the Disguised Princess

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. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

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.

Leila grabbed his clothes and felt wronged. Her sobs were intermittent. “Lamont, I met a robbery and my phone was robbed.”

Lamont patted her back and said with a cold expression, “Buy another one.”

However, Leila’s cries grew louder and louder.

“And just now, I was bullied by Amelie! That bitch… Look at my hand.” Leila revealed the part of the abrasion on her hand, wanting to make Lamont feel distressed her.

However, Lamont did not care about her as expected. Instead, he frowned.

“Don’t provoke her.”

“Lamont!” Leila muttered discontentedly and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“You don’t know how arrogant she is. She bullied me and even scolded you!

“She said that you are a bastard…” Leila hurriedly told him everything, that had happened in the office. She saw that Lamont’s expression suddenly changed.

Lamont narrowed his cold eyes and thought of Amelie’s arrogant attitude.

“Moreover, she said a lot of harsh words. Lamont, Amelie herself was flirting outside and said that I framed her,” Leila said a lot of Amelie’s faults. The hatred in her eyes seemed to drown her.

Leila clenched her fists. Seeing that Lamont’s face was getting darkened, she was proud.

She originally thought that Lamont would argue with Amelie for her, but that was not the case. This made Leila extremely unhappy.

“Lamont, if there is a chance, you must teach her a good lesson. Amelie is so arrogant…”

“I know.”

Lamont was inexplicably agitated, especially when he saw Leila was so noisy at that moment.

“Wipe your tears. I will take care of this matter.”

Hearing this, Leila did not speak. Even though she could say something in front of Lamont, she felt scared when she saw Lamont was angry.

Leila thought, this must be because of Amelie.

Thinking of this, Leila was in a much better mood.

“Leila, Mr. Byron really dotes on you,” Julia said, her face full of envy.

“Of course. Or do you think that he would like that bitch Amelie?” Leila mocked.

Julia closed her mouth in embarrassment.

Leila swaggered away with a trace of a smile on her face. She was still immersed in Lamont’s gentleness.

“Leila, see the news on the internet!” Julia hurriedly said with a smug face.

“Why are you shouting?” Leila narrowed her eyes in displeasure while taking iPad from Julia’s hands.

When Leila saw the dirt on Amelie was getting more and more heated online, she was delighted from her deep heart, and her lips curled into a sneer.

As expected, these net surfers were the best helpers. It seemed that Amelie would never have a chance of whitewashing.

Leila was extremely excited. Leila skimmed through the comments with her legs crossed, and she had already forgotten the pain she had suffered.

It was a pity that Leila could not get the video back. Otherwise, she would have exposed it to cause a mighty uproar online.

“Nowadays, it is the world of capital. They even attempted to hide the truth. Do they think we are ignorant?”

“We must not give in. If we indulge her like this today, she may be even more arrogant in the future.”

“Agreed. It is unfair! Mckenna was replaced, and she has not said a word until now. How kind Mckenna is! Amelie, in contrast, is pest of society. From now on, I will not watch her show for the rest of my life!”

“Likewise, likewise…”

Such comments came into Amelie’s sight one after another. The internet was gushing. However, Amelie looked calm. as if nothing had happened to her.

Briley sighed several times in a row and looked at Amelie repeatedly. “Ms. Mullen, what to do now? Why are you not anxious? These people have gone too far. They say everything.”

Hearing this, Amelie cracked a smile. “Are you a back seat driver?”

Briley pursed her lips, thinking, Ms. Mullen is decisive in doing things, but she is so calm when facing such a big deal.

Is she a human being?

No, no, no, I don’t mean it. Briley’s expression changed slightly. Under Amelie’s comforting gaze, Briley shut her mouth.

Amelie read the comments with great interest, instead.

“This style of writing is good, though.”

Briley saw Amelie clicking a “like” to a negative comment. However, such abuses were disgusting. Briley was totally confused. She wondered, what game is Ms. Mullen playing?

Briley was nervous. She was worried about the impact of this matter.

Amelie kept a straight face, and her fair slender fingers slid the screen. Suddenly, a few positive comments popped up successively…

Amelie was stunned. She wondered, which idiot bought the internet ghostwriters for me so blatantly? But that’s okay.

Emilee looked at the comments on the internet and got furious, with blue veins appearing on her forehead. She scolded, “What the hell?

“These stupid netizens just parrot what others say! How can you take a casually edited video as a real one?

“What do you know? Do you know anything about Amelie? All you know is to talk nonsense. How uneducated you guys are!”

The whole room echoed Emilee’s scolding. However, a comment that had just been sent out was drowned in an instant.

In a blink of an eye, Emilee’s comment was drowned by the netizen’s clamors.

Emilee’s face immediately turned gloomy, and she even threw bombs at those negative comments.

“Heh, Heh. What a joke! It’s the first time I’ve seen someone so brazen in buying hired internet ghostwriters. The eyes of the masses are all sharp! Don’t waste your effort.”

“Yeah, yeah. We can see through such things. Please replace her from the show, or it will fail.”

“I am so disappointed. The power of the capital is stifling. Apply for keeping me!”

Following that, it came a round of irony, and the situation became worse and worse. Perhaps this was what Amelie said about “That’s okay“.

Emilee cursed and slammed her phone on the couch.

“Ms. Elton, it seems that it can’t be suppressed.”

“Even so, work all out to suppress it by any means. What a group of idiots! My bestie is in trouble, 1, Emilee, will fight for her, absolutely! Did you hear me?” Emilee waved her hand and quickly ordered someone to handle it.

Emilee was pissed off and gasping for air. She gulped a few mouthfuls of water, but it still could not calm her anger.

At the same time, Sergio did a lot of public relations work, spending a lot of money on it. However, the negative comments surged so fiercely that could not be stopped.

Just when they were as anxious as a cat on hot bricks, Mckenna, the party involved, took the initiative to come forward to deal with this matter.

Mckenna posted a blog article, saying that she and Amelie were good friends, and she asked Amelie to replace her because she was sick. Those spread on the internet were all rumors.

Knowing this, many netizens sighed with emotion about this matter.

“Mckenna, are you being forced? With us here, we will never let her bully you.”

This hot comment hit the top place and got a reply from Mckenna.

Mckenna posted her hospital records.

Her clarification was short and powerful.

Public opinion instantly reversed.
