Chapter 92 An Accident
“Great!”
With a burst of warm applause, the lunch officially began.
Waiters came back and forth, offering caviar, goose liver, black truffle... All kinds of exquisite dishes were served on the table.
“We often eat this dish at home. I didn’t expect that the chef here would make it so
impressive.”
Amelie pointed at the stew lobster and brought some for Aaron.
Halfway through the meal, Amelie saw Lamont, who was not far leave the dining table.
away,
stand up
and
Amelie knew that Lamont had the habit of going to the restroom midway, so she did not
take it to heart.
However, the accident happened ten minutes later.
“Ah!”
An ear–piercing scream pierced straight into the ears of everyone present.
Everyone’s gaze turned in that direction. Perhaps they all thought that something like a rat had frightened a lady.
The words that came later caused everyone to fall into a panic!
“Blood! Blood!”
Hearing this, Aaron immediately pulled Amelie into his arms and looked around
vigilantly.
The hotel manager also rushed over after hearing the news.
“What exactly happened?”
The screaming lady pointed to the ground beside her. “He... He’s bleeding...”
Amelie stretched out her neck and looked around for a long time. From the bustling crowd, she seemed to see a man lying on
the ground.
“Stop looking. Let’s go first.”
Aaron pulled Amelie away with a serious face and left the banquet hall.
“Aaron, did you see that?”
“What?”
“That man.”
“Well, not familiar.” Aaron did not want to speak too much on such an occasion, so he went straight out of the hotel.
To cause such a huge panic on such an important occasion, no matter who the one behind it was, they definitely had bad
intentions.
The two had just returned home when they bumped into Eden and Celia, who were hurriedly preparing to go out.
“Dad, Mom, where are you going?”
When Celia saw them, she immediately threw down the bag in her hand and pounced on
them.
“I was scared to death. I saw on the news that something had happened to the hotel where your interview conference was held.
So I pulled your father and we were going to take a look. Fortunately, you came back.”
Did the news spread so quickly?
Amelie and Aaron looked at each other and then put on a smile at the same time.
“It’s okay, Mom. We didn’t stay there. We went home as soon as something happened.”
Amelie comforted Celia with a sly smile and took them back to the house.
After telling them that they were fine, Amelie immediately went back to the study to
check the media about the interview today.
It should have taken less than twenty minutes since she and Aaron left the hotel and got home. Amelie wondered which media
got the news so soon.
“Here is the report from Dawn News...”
Wait, why did Amelie feel a little strange?
Amelie carefully read the article. The content seemed to be completely fine, but...
Yes, time!
The article was published at one o’clock in the afternoon, and the moment the woman screamed should be around one o’clock.
At that time, Amelie was busy chatting with Emilee, who was recently traveling abroad, so she was sensitive to the time at that
time.
In this way, Dawn News seemed to have known that this would happen.
Dawn News...
Amelie tried her best to search for the name of this news agency in his mind.
However, Dawn News was an unknown small news agency. Who would give it such resources?
Amelie was puzzled. She shook her head and decided not to think about it anymore.
It was good that he had nothing to do with the Mullen family.
However, Lamont was not so relaxed.
Because Lamont was sitting next to the victim, he was taken away as the first witness to
be questioned.
“Are you familiar with the man around you?” Although it was routine work, the police officer in charge of interrogating Lamont
was shocked by Lamont’s gloomy eyes and his
voice was much softer.
“No.”
Because the interview was originally not in his schedule, Lamont only wanted to finish it quickly, but he did not expect to be
involved in such an accident.
“But a witness claimed that he saw you handing the victim a small thing. Can you tell us
what that is?”
The impatient Lamont let out a heavy snort, recalling the situation at that time.
Every time he ate halfway, he would go outside and smoke a cigarette before coming back. In order to cover up the taste of
tobacco in his mouth, Lamont would take a mint
before he returned to the meal table and continued to have the meal.
After Lamont returned to his seat today, there was only one mint left in his pocket.
Lamont had just taken it out and placed it on the table. When he was about to drink some water and then eat the mint, the man
sitting next to him asked him with a surprised expression if he could give the mint to him.
The man claimed that since he left his hometown, he had never seen a mint again, so he missed its taste very much.
Lamont hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the lunch was about to end, he
mint to the man.
gave the
However, Lamont did not expect that the moment he talked to those who came to propose a toast, the man beside him had fallen
to the ground with a pale face, and blood flowing out from his mouth and nostrils.
At that time, Lamont felt that something was wrong. If the man beside him did not ask for this mint, or if he did not give it to the
man by mistake, would he be the one lying on the ground now?
Then, Lamont immediately looked in the direction of Macey. There was fear on Macey’s face, but it was definitely not because of
the fear of someone having an accident.
In short, that expression was more of a kind of inexplicable confusion.
After listening to Lamont’s narration, the police officer instantly became alert.
That made sense. Now it seemed that Lamont was the biggest suspect.
“Would you mind coming with us to the police station?”
Lamont shrugged his shoulders. It was useless to say anything now. The mint that he gave to the man should be the culprit.
“Let’s go.”
The police officer secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately instructed the technicians to look for the wrapping paper of
the mint on the spot. Then, he made a gesture of inviting Lamont.
Before Lamont left, he looked at the crowd behind him.
Macey was nowhere to be seen.
Because she was sitting far away, Macey was not in the midst of being questioned.
In a private clubhouse.
“What’s going on? Why isn’t it Lamont!”
Macey hysterically threw a tantrum at a man who had his back to her and was sitting in front of the window.
“Lamont definitely knows what’s going on! He definitely won’t let me off!”
Tired of Macey’s hysteria, Willard suddenly stood up from the reclining chair and immediately covered the sunlight in front of
Macey, casting a large shadow over her.
“You were there. You should know it better than I do! Now that you’ve failed, why are you asking me what to do? How would I
know? Maybe the two of us won’t be able to escape this time!”
