Chapter 6 Which girl?

“Which girl?" Lamont gave Chad a sideways glance. “The one was just met at the entrance, the daughter of the Frey family, Hazel." Chad couldn't help but tut, "She looks really beautiful, but unfortunately her fate is not good. With a murderer father, who dares to marry her in New York?” Lamont raised his eyebrows slightly, and stared at him coldly, "How do you know Andre is a murderer? Have you seen it with your own eyes?” For Lamont's sudden displeasure, Chad was unclear, and he said, "The court has ruled like this. Can there still be falsehood?” “Sometimes what peoples see is not necessarily true." Lamont replied casually. “Do you think Andre was wronged?" Chad asked curiously. Lamont's cold and stern face showed no emotion, "His company was at its peak. Do you think Andre would kill people for hundreds of millions dollars?” A year ago, he had contact with Andre. At that time, Andre was calm and composed, unwilling to engage in unethical business for profit. How could such a person maliciously kill someone? But in business, it was just a battle. Once caught weakness by an opponent, he might never be able to success for a lifetime. Chad had a hint of surprise in his eyes and said, "So was someone trying to kill him?” Lamont just glanced at Chad with an ambiguous expression, didn't say anything, and walked directly into an office. Chad quickly followed up. “Lamont, Chad, you guys are here.” In the office, wearing golden glasses, Gauge, who looked a bit of a scumbag, stood up and greeted them, "I have sorted out all the information about the loopholes that the Powell Group has drilled in the law over the years, and you can take a look.” Lamont nodded faintly and said, "Thank you very much.” Chad couldn't help but ask his doubts in his heart, "I don't really understand. We are clearly cooperating well with the Powell Group, and Jefferey dare not play tricks in front of us. Why are you investigating him?” The delicate and innocent face of Hazel flashed through Lamont's mind, and he suddenly whispered, "What did Hazel come to do just now?” The words were spoken to Gauge. Gauge was speechless. When did Lamont, an ascetic man, become interested in women? And was it Hazel, who had long been notorious in the upper class? But he replied truthfully, "Hazel wants to find a lawyer to handle the divorce for Maya, and I have already handed it over to another lawyer.” Lamont frowned and his gaze gradually became deep, "You personally handle this case.” This was an order instead of a suggestion. Gauge was somewhat surprised. There was only one person, Hazel, who could make Lamont take the initiative to let him handle the case. He would never believe there was no connection between Lamont and Hazel. Chad suddenly thought of it. Jefferey, the CEO of the Powell Group, was a business partner with Andre before. Later, when the Frey Group had an accident, Jefferey quickly withdrew and left all the difficulties to Andre. But this did not affect the cooperation between the Hurst Group and the Powell Group. Chad couldn't help but tut and say, "Lamont, you don't really have a crush on Hazel, do you? But her ex boyfriend is your nephew.” Before he could finish speaking, Lamont's aggressive gaze coldly turned towards him and said, "Do you want me to teach you a lesson?” Chad quickly covered his mouth. He was just kidding. “Ring!” A sudden ringing of the phone rang. Lamont took out his phone from his pocket and, upon seeing the incoming call on the screen, his handsome face suddenly sank. Next second, he just hung up the phone. Gauge accidentally scanned the call on Lamont's phone and couldn't help but say, "You've been back to the Hurst family for two years. Aren't you planning to get along well with Jason?” Lamont's eyes were dark and cold, “He doesn't deserve it.” It was a moment of awkwardness and dullness. Chad understood Lamont's temperament, and mentioning Jason in front of him would infuriate him. After noticing that the wristwatch that Lamont was carrying was not present, he quickly changed the topic and said, “Where is the watch Stephen gave you? Why haven't I seen you wearing it lately?” He thought this would ease the stiff atmosphere, but as soon as his words fell, Lamont was colder and angrier. His eyes dimmed and he said, "I've left it in the his house.” Last week, he went to the house for the sake of the the Hurst Group, but accidentally left the watch in the study. Chad was speechless. So he just made things worse? Meanwhile, Hazel had already taken a taxi to the hospital. She looked out the window at the scenery that flashed by, frowning. She originally thought she was a woman that could be remembered by Lamont, but in fact, she was overconfident. Perhaps for Lamont, she was just a bed companion who took the initiative. The phone in the bag suddenly rang. Hazel took out her phone and saw that it was a call from her good friend, Catherine. She directly pressed the answer button and said, "Cathy.” “Hazel, did everything go smoothly last night?" Catherine's excited voice came from her phone, "Did Lamont fall in love with you?” Hazel remembered the indifferent gaze of Lamont just now and sighed lightly, "Not yet.” “With your appearance and charm, how could Lamont not love you?" Catherine was a bit incredulous," Is he a gay?”
