Chapter 1290
Amelie was struck dumb by his question. "What?"
When she turned her head, her eyes met his, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
There seemed to be a layer of ice in his deep-set eyes. His glance was cold and piercing.
Adam repeated his question. "I'm asking you: where were you that night?"
"I..." She paused, feeling a little flustered. But as a soldier with great psychological quality, she behaved very calmly. "I can't think of it. Maybe at home, or with friends, or in the military area!" Adam, raising his eyebrows, asked, "Really?"
Amelie smiled. "Yes!"
Adam suddenly curled his thin lips.
He usually wore a poker face, serious and cold, so people could not tell whether he was happy or angry. Besides being silent, he rarely smiled, of course, except when he was with Anthea. The corner of his mouth suddenly upturned, making her flesh creep.
Somehow, a rush of guilty feeling overwhelmed Amelie.
Adam's eyes shifted from her face to Bellamy. "Dad, as I just said, I didn't want to explain anything. But you have to ask Amelie how she got the photo."
Bellamy was unhappy. "What do you mean by this? She is dealing with the aftermath of this matter for you, isn't she?!"
Adam asked indifferently, "Amelie, are you sure you have nothing to do with this matter?"
Amelie remained calm and shook her head blankly. "Adam, I don't know what you're talking about."
Adam, saying nothing more, took out his phone from his trouser pocket.
He called someone and said, "Come in."
Neither Bellamy nor Amelie had any idea what he was going to do. Five minutes later, someone knocked on the door.
A servant pushed the door open, followed by a strange man.
He must have come with Adam but had been waiting outside the mansion.
The man looked very perturbed. It seemed that he had never been to such a magnificent mansion. Especially when he saw some men in military uniforms walking inside, he was even more scared. Bellamy frowned, while Amelie's expression suddenly changed.
Adam lifted his chin slightly and said, "Say all the things that you've told me before."
The man's eyes swept over them and finally fixed on Amelie. "That night, this female officer told me that she was on a mission and asked me to put some drug into a lady's drink. Beyond that, she warned me not to tell any others about it!"
At this time, Adam raised the photo.
When the man saw it, he pointed to Anthea and said, "Yes, it was the young lady in the photo. She was then taken away by two vicious men..."
Amelie's face turned pale.
She was completely panicked!
Adam's dark eyes narrowed and his expression was cold.
Carter caught the two men with malicious intentions on the spot and sent them to the police station. However, they insisted that they did not drug her no matter how the police interrogated them. They just happened to be there and took a drunken girl away.
When Adam and Carter arrived at the bar, Carter once whispered to him that he seemed to have seen Amelie.
However, Adam did not take it seriously, for he only wanted to find his little girl according to her location. Later, the two perverts said that they had not
drugged her, so he started to suspect Amelie.
Amelie could ask the bartender to drug Anthea for her while he could force him to tell the truth!
On the phone, Adam knew that Bellamy was furious. Well, only the matter about him and Anthea could make him so angry, so when Adam came, he brought the bartender here.
Adam's eyes were cold and piercing. "Amelie, you drug a girl and put her in danger. If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have been taken to the hotel by two strange men. How could a military officer capable of doing such an evil thing?"
Amelie froze there.
She stumbled, took two steps back, and fell down on the chair.
Bellamy looked at her in disbelief as if he did not know who she was at all. "Amelie, is this true? Did you drug the girl and deliberately sent someone to take photos?"
It was she who drugged Anthea, asked someone to take the photo, and send it to him!
Then she was playing the trick of a thief crying "Stop thief!"
Amelie's expression changed drastically and turned to ghastly pale. "Uncle, I..."
Her lips were trembling and she felt cold all over.
She regretted playing this trick!
Adam sneered and turned to leave.
Bellamy stopped him with a harsh voice and warned sternly, "Adam, let's not pursue this matter for now. But no matter what, you are not allowed to be with Anthea again! Do I need to remind you that you're he uncle?"
Adam paused and looked directly at his father. "Dad, have you warned her about it six years ago?"
Six years ago, when Anthea proposed breaking up with him, he actually thought about it
Bellamy must have talked to her behind his back.
But at that time, he was mad because she had aborted their baby. He was too grief to think about other things. Now that he knew that she had an ectopic pregnancy, Adam was more convinced of this. "I..." Bellamy was rendered speechless.
He avoided his son's gaze - he felt guilty in the face of this matter and could not look at Adam with righteousness.
After Adam and the bartender left, only Bellamy and Amelie were in the study.
Bellamy still looked angry, but he obviously treated Amelie differently - he looked at Amelie in a totally different way.
In his eyes, there was no longer guilt and gratification, but suspicion.
As Amelie met Bellamy's stern and cold gaze, she immediately pounced on his desk. "Please, listen to my explanation! I was blinded by my jealousy for that moment. When I saw Anthea come back again, my heart was filled with anxiety. I was afraid that she would seduce Adam, so I did it!"
But Bellamy frowned.
He arranged for his eldest son the same growth model as his. Both of them entered the army after graduating from the military academy. Bellamy had been in the army for most of his life. In addition to his old- fashioned and stubborn personality, he was a righteous man.
In his view, except for the responsibility they shouldered, moral character was the most important thing for military men and women.
No matter how solid the reason that Amelie gave to him, she had drugged others, which had seriously violated the moral principles and the law. What was worse, she was a military officer! Bellamy said with a disgusted and bitter tone, "Amelie, I'm so disappointed in you!"
Amelie looked flustered. Her eyes went red, and she sobbed. "Uncle Bellamy, I know I did it wrong. I've regretted it for a long time, but it's too late! I did it on impulsive, but Adam slept with her in the end..." However, Bellamy shook his head and interrupted her.
He stopped looking at her and turned his chair to the window - he was giving her the cold shoulder. "I am tired today. You can go back!"
"Uncle..." Amelie's eyes were brimming with tears.
Bellamy closed his eyes.
Seeing his stern face, Amelie knew that if she did not leave herself, he might ask his servants to force her out.
At this moment, Amelie could not be more flustered.
Finally, she left while wiping her tears.
