Chapter 487
Seeing the nod from Vicente, Brayden went to work at once. He must eradicate all hidden peril before Jack was
arrested and interrogated. At the Land of Fragrance.
Amelia saw that it was almost noon, so she made a phone call to both Leah and Shawn, reminding them that
they were supposed to meet at the Broad Avenue Restaurant later.
At this moment, the sound of the door opening and closing sounded from the first floor. Amelia's face stiffened
for a second, thinking that Patrick must have cback.
Gently opening the door handle, she grabbed the railing of the second floor and peered down. It was the
housekeeper. Amelia then remembered that today was the weekend and that the housekeeper had cover to
do spring-cleaning.
The aunt heard the movement from ahead and looked up. When she saw Amelia, she asked with concern, "Miss
Amelia, have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten!" Amelia lied.
Then, she descended the spiral staircase, cto the front of the housekeeper, and said, "Auntie, | have to head
out now. If Mr. Hopper comes back and finds that I'm not home, then you tell him that...I've left to meet a friend."
The housekeeper knew clearly about Patrick's tendency to always ask for the whys and wherefores. So she
asked, "Who are you meeting with, Miss Amelia? | can inform Mr. Hopper better if you tell me." "This..." To see
Milton? No way! Ryan? Even worse! How about Jessica? She had only met her yesterday! Then to see Lucy?
Patrick would lecture her for being careless when making friends! Tell her the truth? Wasn't Patrick going to
explode then?
After thinking for a while, Amelia said helplessly, "Just say that | went to the hospital to see my father."
"Okay!" The housekeeper agreed without suspicion.
At Broad Avenue Restaurant.
As soon as Amelia got off the car, she saw Leah standing at the entrance of the restaurant and glancing around.
Leah's eyes lit up at the sight of Amelia, approached her, and asked, "Amelia, what happened yesterday at the
nightclub? | asked Patrick on the way back, but he refused to tell me."
Amelia smiled and said, "He didn't tell you because he didn't want you to worry. Look, | am standing in front of
you now, meaning the matter has been settled."
"That's good!" Leah patted her chest and said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAmelia only noticed now the stark contrast of her current dressing style as compared to her yesterday's
exaggerated fashion. The Leah today looked fresh and clean, and her makeup was done lightly and elegant too.
The difference between how she looked now than when normal was appalling!
Amelia sighed from the bottom of her heart, "Leah, why didn't you dress up like this a long tago?"
Leah proudly said, "If | do dress up like this, what to do with you then?"
Upon realizing what she just said, Amelia felt both indignant and amused, then said, "Yes, yes, | should thank you
for showing mercy!"
"By the way, Amelia..." Leah suddenly pointed in a direction and mysteriously asked Amelia, "Have you seen the
two men sitting in the restaurant?"
Following her finger, Amelia saw two oddly dressed men sitting in the position indicated by Leah. They looked as
if they had cfrom Arabia. Other than their mouths, the rest of their body was covered in various clothing.
There was a glint of light in her eyes as Amelia said with confidence, "The one in white must be Shawn!"
Leah frowned. "Then who's the man next to him?"
Amelia was not sure. "Maybe his manager?"
Leah was not satisfied with the answer. "Amelia, I've only wanted to see Shawn. Why is his manager here as
well?"
Amelia shrugged and said, "Maybe he's worried about Shawn."
Leah bit her lip. "But this person may be a hindrance to my plan!"
Amelia glanced at her and said, "Didn't you want to ask Shawn to pretend to be your temporary partner? Well, if
Shawn's manager is here, you can discuss with him about the performance fee!" ""Leah was rendered
speechless.
Seeing that Leah was still furrowing her brows together, Amelia reckoned that she was worried about money. So
she immediately patted her chest and promised, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, | will definitely help you to
negotiate to the lowest mates’ rate."
Leah lowered her gaze slightly and said after a long pause, "Amelia, | have a favor to ask from you."
"What is it?" "You must helpget rid of the guy beside Shawn later no matter what. | want to be alone with the
man of my dreams, okay?"
With Leah's expectant eyes, Amelia could not refuse and said, "Alright, I'll try."
After that, the pair entered the restaurant and gently coughed in the way of the two men who were dressed in
Arabian clothing.
One of the men heard the cough. He moved the hat on his head slightly and looked up to confirm Amelia's
identity. Then he said, "Miss Amelia, long tno see. I'm Ursula." "Yes, | could tell."
Amelia had recognized him when
Ursula Cullen raised his head to meet her. She pointed to Leah next to her and introduced with a smile, "This is
my cousin. I've brought her today to see Sha.the superstar."

"Okay." Amelia nodded and quietly gave Leah the empty seat next to Shawn in exchange for a look of gratitude
from Leah.
When Leah sat down, she could not help taking a glance at Shawn. Her shy gaze made Shawn shift in his seat
uneasily.
Leah acted as if she did not notice his small movement, took the initiative, and said, "Hello!"

Shawn quickly let go of her hand, coughed awkwardly, and fell silent.
People who did not know better might think that he was putting on an act. But in actuality, he was a little
ashamed and frustrated for being exposed by Leah.
Leah's stare lingered at the hand that shook Shawn's and said with yearning, "Mr. Haward, two years ago, you
had also shaken my hand like today."
Shawn was stunned. "When?"

Leah's words immediately aroused Shawn's curiosity. He pressed on, "What happened back then? Can you make
it clearer?"
Seeing that the two on the opposite were striking up a chat, Amelia said timely to Ursula, who was watching the
time, "Ursula, | have something to talk to you about."
Ursula answered casually, "Well, please go ahead."
Amelia beat about the bush and said, "But | wish to talk to you in private."
