Chapter 178 You Failed Her
The Mullen family was now in a mess. Fortunately, with the help of the third child, they bought a big house in the suburbs of Oakland.
However, its grade was far from the mountain villa in the center of Oakland.
Now it was the time for the Mullen family to work together to tide over the difficulties. It would be nice to have a place to live, and it was much more decent than living on the streets after all.
Now that the Mullen family is in ruins was a big blow to Eden especially, who has been proud all his life.
For the past two days, he had been talking about how sorry he was to the ancestors of the Mullen family.
Now the brothers of the Mullen family were all busy with their business affairs, and only Rex was still jobless.
When Thalia said that Amelie was hospitalized, he rushed over with Belen.
“Lamont! I knew it was you, every time Amelie meets you, nothing good will happen!”
“You were simply the evil star in her life! Can you stay away from her?”
Rex was eager to protect her sister, the last thing he wanted to see was that when she was in danger, Lamont was by her side. He would automatically think that it was Lamont who hurt her.
“You are Amelie’s brother, so I don’t stoop down to your level. I hope you will put your hands down and be respectful.”
Lamont put on an indifferent face, looking at Rex without any emotion in his eyes.
He had tried his best to bear it, because he was a freak and hated being touched by others, not to mention that Rex just stepped. on his collar without saying a word.
The high–end clothes and coat had already been pulled into serious folds by him. If it were someone else, he probably couldn’t help but fight him.
However, because he was Amelie’s elder brother, he had been trying to keep his temper from breaking out, which was why his face was cold and emotionless.
“How dare you tell me this? Did you cause the injury on Amelie’s face?”
Belen had just seen the bruises on Amelie’s face at the company before she could ask, and then she directly told Rex about it.
“No.”
The answer to this question was clean and neat. He would admit it if he did it, but he would never admit it if it wasn’t him.
“You have to wait until Amelie tells you personally, because I promised her to keep it a secret.”
Rex punched Lamont in the face with a violent temper.
“The person I don’t like the most in my life is the arrogant lunatic!”
Rex had undergone professional training, and Lamont was no match for him at all.
Belen beside him was also taken aback. The reason why she followed was that she didn’t want Rex to fight.
What was more, there are paparazzi reporters chasing members of the Mullen family everywhere now. If the scene of Rex
beating Lamont was recorded and edited maliciously,
The Mullen family would get into even more trouble.
“Stop! Rex, don’t fight anymore!”
Belen tried her best to pull the two big men away, and Lamont was already given a bloody nose.
Rex was also injured, and she was immediately annoyed seeing this scene.
“The two of you are enough! Amelie is still lying in the emergency room unconsciously. You’re just wrestling outside her ward. Is that what she wants to see?”
“What problem can a fight solve? Can you be more sensible?”
Rex wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and after being yelled at by Belen, he calmed down a lot. Then, he was willing to ask Lamont calmly.
“How is Amelie?”
Lamont straightened his tie angrily and said, “Certain anemia, low blood pressure caused by malnutrition. Now she is still unconscious.”
Hearing these descriptions, Rex clenched his fists together again.
It was not the first time he had heard of these symptoms. The doctor said the same thing when Amelie had a miscarriage and was sent to the hospital in a coma.
But originally, she grew up in the love of the Mullen family, where she was obviously spoiled by the whole family. Even the three meals a day were personally prepared by the top five–star chefs in the country.
She didn’t behave like what the doctor described.
The only one who tortured Amelie like this was the maltreatment of the Byron family for five years.
Originally, Rex wanted to teach Lamont a good lesson.
Then he thought about it again and chose not to do so, for Amelie wouldn’t want to see him when she woke up. The most important thing now was to let this person go quickly.
Amelie no longer wanted to mention the past. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“Hurry up and leave, Mr. Byron. This is not the place for you to show up. The Mullen family has nothing to do with the Byron family.”
“I won’t leave until I see Amelie wake up!”
Lamont was also very stubborn. He wanted to see Amelie wake up in person, no matter what Rex said and did, he would never leave before Amelie woke up.
Rex was about to beat Lamont again, for he had been haunted to a certain extent.
“If I were you, I would absolutely have no face to stay here, because all the pain that Amelie had suffered was because of you.”
“Are you still hypocritically waiting for her to wake up?”
“I don’t know what happened to her, and she never told me about that.”
Lamont still tried to argue, but was overwhelmed by Rex’s roar.
“That’s because you never believed her!”
“Don’t you know how much hard work she has done in the past five years in your Byron family?”
“The Mullen family pampers her like a princess, but your Byron family has treated her like a nanny.
“She had to wait until you all finished eating every day before she could eat, and she would never have the right to eat at the table. In the Byron family, she has been treated even worse than a dog!”
“Even she was pregnant with your child, she still insisted on washing and cooking for your family. I also want to ask you.”
“Does a family as big as your Byron family can’t afford to hire a few more nannies?”
“When she was pregnant with a child, she had to go outside to get wet in the rain, because she violated the bullshit rules of the Byron family. She had a high fever and still did the housework.”
“As her husband and her only support in this family, have you ever treated her well?”
“Not to mention counting on you to support her, how did she spend the past five years in the Byron family with no one to rely on? I’m afraid that Mr. Byron has forgotten it, right?”
Rex’s words astonished Lamont.
“It was you who failed her, even if you, Lamont, die for her, it wouldn’t be enough!”
It was he who failed her. She never mentioned these things in front of him.
In order not to embarrass him, Amelie lied that she was a girl from the countryside and was not used to eating at the table, so she hid in the kitchen after the whole family had eaten.
Lamont always thought it was true and respected her living habits, but he never thought it was because Macey didn’t let her eat there.
How many things did she hide from him?
“Hurry up!”
Rex had completely lost his patience, and asked Lamont to leave his presence.
In the end, Lamont left not because of Rex’s eviction order, but because he felt that Amelie might really not want to see him.
