The Return of the Disguised Princess Chapter 261

Chapter 261 Leila’s Consequence

Finally, they successfully left the hotel.

The car was speeding down the road, and Amelie’s heart finally calmed down.

The online public opinion was still fermenting, but she didn’t look at any news online again.

Soon, they were taken to an apartment.

This was an apartment specially arranged by Lamont.

When they entered the apartment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Ms. Mullen, please rest here for a while. Mr. Byron will come later.”

Lamont’s men said before leaving.

Amelie nodded.

Belen was surprised by the spa cious apartment.

“Amelie, Mr. Byron is so thoughtful…”

Amelie didn’t say much in response, though she was also relieved.

However, with Rex being present beside her, she felt uneasy discussing Lamont at length.

“This place is not bad. It looks like there won’t be any (pap ara zzi) coming here. I’m also at ease with you resting

here. Take a good rest. I’ll go figure out how to handle this situation,” Rex said.

He couldn’t bear to see his sister living in fear.

“Rex, where are you going?”

Amelie looked at him with concern.

“Someone has to handle this situation. I don’t believe Lamont can handle it well.”

As Amelie’s brother, Rex had always loved and protected her. Now that she was in trouble, he was determined to

do everything he could to protect her.

“Rex, please be safe.”

Amelie said, knowing she couldn’t stop him.

“I will. Rest well, and let me know if you need anything.”

After Rex left, Amelie just lay down on the couch.

Meanwhile, a woman lay on a bed in a hospital room.

It was Leila.

The person sitting by her bed was Miriam.

“Ms. Aylward, I never thought you would end up in a place like this.”

Miriam said without mincing words. Her tone was sharp, as if she wanted to tear Leila apart.

“What place am I in has nothing to do with you. You’re just a lackey. What qualifications do you have to be arrogant

in front of me?”

Leila retorted, not wanting to waste her breath on this kind of person.

“Still trying to act tough? Do you really think you’re powerful? Lamont will never be with you. Even if you try to

spread rumors and defeat Amelie, it’s impossible. In Lamont’s eyes, you’re just a person who deserves to die.”

Miriam said with a vicious face.

“It seems like you really want me to die.”

Leila chuckled and turned her head to the side.

“Of course! You ignorant bit ch! Although Amelie is a stumbling block, so are you. You have repeatedly ruined my

plans. What right do you have to live in this world? Do you still delude yourself into thinking that you can win

Lamont’s affection?”

Miriam said with a cold tone, gritting her teeth.

Leila didn’t answer, but her heart felt cold.

How could she dare to hope for Lamont’s affection again?

“Have you ever been curious if Lamont has feelings for you?”

Miriam suddenly spoke, staring at Leila’s thin back with a playful look in her eyes.

“What…”

Leila turned around in surprise, tearing at her wound without even realizing it.

“What do you know?”

Leila tried to sit up but only received a mocking laugh from Miriam.

“This is a secret, an eternal secret. I want you to live in pain forever!”

After she finished speaking, she let out a piercing laugh.

With a slam of the door, the large hospital room fell silent.

Leila’s heart was twisting like a knife. At this point, she could conclude that there was truly no possibility between

her

and Lamont.

The thought made her resent Amelie even more.

Lamont was filled with so much hatred towards her that he wouldn’t even consider listening to her explanations.

She could feel her chest tightening, unable to breathe.

Lying on the hospital bed and staring at the ceiling, she had a moment where she wished she could relive her life.

She was so weak and gradually fell asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already night. The starry sky outside the window was bright, and the breeze was

blowing gently.

Her hospital room was empty, except for doctors and nurses.

She propped herself up and walked to the window.

The gentle breeze brushed her cheeks, slowly waking her up.

She had to put an end to all of this…

Lamont stood by the window in his office, his hands in his pockets, looking, expressionless at the lighthouse in the

distance.

“Mr. Byron, there’s news from the hospital…”

Miriam whispered to Lamont’s ear.

“Really?”

Lamont narrowed his eyes, his tone icy.

“Yes, it’s true. We’re searching for her.” Miriam bowed her head respectfully.

“Great, she keeps testing my limits over and over again! I haven’t taken action against her, and yet she still believes

she can get away with it!”

Lamont roared in a low voice, slamming his fist hard against the wall beside him.

“Search the entire city and find that woman for me!”

It was late in the evening, and only the streetlights on the roadside were still on.

Leila walked slowly along the path, her shadow stretching far behind her.

She had snuck out, trying to escape from Lamont’s grip.

She had tried everything to target Amelie, but was caught red-handed by Lamont.

She didn’t know how long she had walked, but her body was weak, and she had to sit on the roadside curb, gasping

for breath.

She could feel blood oozing from the wound.

She couldn’t go any further…

She thought, exhausted, and finally found a small hotel to stay in.

Just as she lay down to rest for a moment, a group of people were gathering downstairs.

The sound of pounding on the door woke Leila from her sleep.

The room was pitch black, but she could see a familiar silhouette standing at the door.

“Lamont?”

Leila quickly stood up and hid in the corner.

She had only been out for a short while, and she had already been found so quickly…

“You have some nerve, trying to run away right under my nose.”

Lamont approached her step by step, and his subordinates behind him moved back on their own.

“Lamont, I know you hate me, I’m sorry. Can you…” Leila struggled to hold herself up and said weakly.

“Do you think you have a chance to negotiate with me?”

“Lamont! Why do you have to keep Amelie so close to your heart? I’ve loved you for so many years, yet you’re

indifferent! Am I worth less than her in your eyes? And now you want to put me in a dead end because of her! How

can

you be so heartless, Lamont?”

Leila screamed in agony, using all her strength.

“Heh, death may be simple for you, but I want to see you suffer!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed her neck.

The instant suffocation made Leila suffer, and she couldn’t even speak.
