Shortly after, another sensational piece of news surfaced on social media: "A b*stard Daughter – The Story of Amanda and her useless mother !" The focus was primarily on Amanda's mother, delving into shocking revelations about Patrick's background.The article disclosed that Patrick was, in fact, the adopted son of Terry, and Amanda's mother was Alison's own nephew. This meant that Amanda was the only one truly connected to Alison, explaining why he left her 51% of the family business. Meanwhile, the explosive revelation of Patrick and Stella's affair added another layer of scandal."Amanda and Amelia's birthdays are only twelve days apart," one commentator pointed out.The netizens were stunned.

While affairs might have been overlooked in the past, contemporary netizens had little
After a very long road trip, Amelia and Stella finally arrived at Kiki’s place.The Mansion nestled on a mountain near the coast, the mansion, despite its age, stood as one of the most expensive estates in Elyria. The vast Dickson family held numerous properties worldwide, yet Kiki chose to reside in this ancient mansion.During holidays, Dickson would return to spend some time with his sister in this serene abode. The air here was remarkably abundant and clean, a stark contrast to the bustling and polluted environment of the city where they came from. This place felt like an isolated fairyland.Approaching the gate, old age security. His face was a canvas of weathered leather, etched with the lines of a life lived on the edge. A lifetime spent squinting into the harsh glare of city lights and the menacing shadows of alleyways had left deep creases around his eyes, giving him a perpetually grizzled expression.His hair, once a raven black, was now a mosaic of steely grey and snow whit
Both maintained a prolonged silence before Dickson, unable to contain his frustration any longer, spoke up with a disdainful snort, "Sister, why do you love ruining my mood so bad? What's the use of meeting her Kids?""Oh, you naive child. Connect the dots. Those two beautiful kids might very well be your children!"Dickson's jaw nearly hit the floor upon hearing this revelation. "What?My Children! No way! That's... that's impossible! I asked her, and she personally assured me they're not my kids!""Ah, you comprehend women so poorly. She despises you deeply, and she might be saying that just to provoke you!""To provoke me?" Dickson blinked in disbelief.However, a realisation dawned on him. He had treated her quite poorly; it all started to make sense."Regardless, bring the kids here and undergo a paternity test," Kiki insisted. "If they aren't your Kids, so be it. However, if they are your children, they shouldn't be left to fend for themselves without a father!"“Sis, those kids
The attention span of the public swiftly changed and moved from Amanda to a Brazilian actress who once worked for Andrew.Luiza was one of the greatest people who helped Andrew company be what it is today. With the help of Andrew and his influence she was able to win certain awards.Luiza is a social media influencer. News has been trending about her and Andrew being in a relationship. So, She decided to clear her name off the blogs mouth by going live on her instagram handle to address the public that she has a boyfriend and Andrew is not her boyfriend.Her live video got massive impressions and got the public tongues wagging with fake rumours.It caught the public’s attention.In reality, it was a carefully devised marketing strategy orchestrated by Andrew. Contrary to public perception, Luiza was not romantically involved with the actor; the company fabricated the relationship to generate public interest. The primary goal was to divert attention away from Amanda.Stella had been ea
It made little difference. After all, he could easily obtain her number whenever he pleased."No, thanks. I'll have my assistant inform you if there's something important," Dickson replied curtly.Amanda furrowed her brow and adopted a chilly tone. "What is it you want to see me about?"Dickson, somewhat embarrassed, cleared his throat and explained, "Well, my sister wants to see the two kids. So..."Before Dickson could finish, Amanda grew incensed. "Excuse me, Mr.Dickson. We can discuss work matters in the company; there's no need for private meetings.""Furthermore, my kids are not obligated to meet strangers.""Amanda, my sister whom I consider my mother, is getting old. She just wants to see the kids. She doesn't have other thoughts.""Sorry, they can't go to see her," Amanda firmly refused.Dickson's sister was astute; her desire to see the kids stemmed from her suspicions about whether they were Dickson's. If she laid eyes on them, she would undoubtedly insist that Dickson unde
Amanda fought desperately against the looming threat. Unfortunately, her defiance only escalated the danger she faced.“Dickson, please... don’t,” she pleaded as his kisses grew fiercer, harder, and more aggressive. Her shirt bore the evidence of the struggle, torn and tattered.Fear gripped Amanda entirely. She was well aware that this domineering man had never been one to show gentleness, even in their past marriage where his tyranny prevailed. The more she struggled, the harsher his actions became.“Let go of me,” she implored, resorting to biting him in an attempt to break free. The taste of blood only seemed to fuel his aggression, leaving her neck bruised. Tears welled up as she weakly fought back, despising the man who inflicted such pain. At that moment, Amanda questioned why she had ever loved him in the first place.Not only did she harbour intense love for him, but that love also rendered her remarkably humble in his presence. Despite her deep affection, Dickson had never r
“You don’t feel okay. What could be the problem? Be open to me. I’m here for you.”Prosper asked her with his calm masculine voice.Amelia sighed, "What's the point opening up to you? You're just a toyboy." In response, Prosper grinned, his gestures and postures becoming more audacious and provocative."Oh, God. Don’t be too reactive. Take it easy," Amelia exclaimed."I'm a Toy boy. So what?" Prosper retorted, visibly angered by her remark. His movements took on a fiercer intensity, a characteristic that Amelia, with a penchant for wolf-like men, found alluring.Prosper was acutely aware of his limitations; materially, he could offer her nothing. Even the exorbitant cost of their meetings at the sushi bar was beyond his means, and each time Amelia was the one sponsoring the bill.Yet, Prosper was keenly aware of his strengths. Each encounter with Amelia allowed him to cater to her needs, ensuring she fully revealed the pleasure of womanhood. He possessed a deep understanding of what w
Knock! Knock!The sound of the door was heard as it came with a knock not so loud.“Who could that be?” Dickson thought out loud as he tried finding out the person behind the door.“Are you expecting anyone in this house?” He asked Betty who acts like the second in command whenever Amanda isn't around.“I'm not expecting anyone, sir. As you can see madam Amanda asked me to watch over her son and that's what I'm being paid for.” She made her duties clear to him in a clearer tone.“I don't know if at all I'll be doing the right thing to open the door for the person behind the door to enter.” He stood up from where he sat and paced around uncontrollably.Betty watching the way Dickson moved spoke up, “You don't have to bother at all it might be that the knock was a mistake.”“That could be true as well. Let's hope that the knocker won't knock again.” Betty addressed him pointing her fingers to the chair instructing him to seat on it.Knock! Knock!“Did you hear that? I think I need to te
“Francisca can’t be left alone. Look after her!”Anna nodded solemnly. “Miss Amanda, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of her!”“Then I’ll take my leave first!”“Goodbye, Miss Amanda!”Amanda did not say anything else. She took her bag and left in a hurry.Dickson followed closely behind.Amanda arrived at the parking lot and reached for the car key in her pocket, only to realize thather car was still at the studio.Dickson was the one who sent her and Francisca to the hospital.“Uh…” Amanda frowned and resentfully put the car keys back into her bag.She was about to hail a taxi when a car stopped beside her.“Get in!” Dickson rolled down the window and looked at her casually.Amanda was stunned.Even though she didn’t want to get into his car, she knew he would go crazy again if she rejectedhim.Helpless, Amanda obediently got into the front passenger seat.In the car.Amanda did not say a word, Her expression was cold and indifferent.Dickson glanced at her from time to time, his g
Seeing that Francisca had recovered, she could not help but lie on the bed and fall asleep.She took a nap in a daze and felt someone putting a piece of clothing on her shoulder.Amanda was shocked and quickly opened her eyes.She turned around and saw Dickson.He was holding a suit and putting it on her at that moment.Amanda suddenly sat up straight. “Dickson, why are you back again?”Seeing how nervous she was, Dickson chuckled. “You still owe me a bowl of noodles, so why can’t Ibe back?”Amanda frowned in frustration. “This is a hospital. I can’t make noodles for you!”“When are you going to make it for me?”“When my daughter recovers, I’ll make it for you when I have time!”Dickson chuckled. “Alright, I’ll wait for you!”“There’s nothing else here. You can go back now!”When Dickson heard this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. “No, I want to accompany you here!”“I don’t need your company. It’s already so late. Hurry up and go back to sleep!”“Don’t worry. I’ll make the noodle
Seeing Dickson had found Eric to confront him, Amelia was frightened and uneasy.Dickson’s face was covered with a layer of coldness. “Why are you so nervous?”“I’m not nervous!” Although Amelia denied it, her heart was about to jump out of her throat.Dickson examined Amelia with a sinister expression.“Dickson, don’t look at me like that. Do you… not trust me?” Amelia’s body went numb from hisstare.As she spoke, her tears fell again. She looked weak and helpless.Dickson did not say anything else. He just smoked silently and waited.While waiting, Amelia became even more uneasy.She wanted to find an opportunity to call or send a message to Eric to warn him not to spoutnonsense.Unfortunately, Dickson was watching her. She had no chance at all.Half an hour later!Eric was brought to an office.There was a huge double–sided mirror in the office.Dickson and Amelia were behind the mirror. They could see Eric’s every move.However, Eric could not see them.Seeing Eric, Amelia’s fac
Amanda rolled her eyes and pushed open the door to the ward. Standing outside, Amelia appeared lost in thought. It seemed like she had been standing there for quite some time, her face reflecting a mix of despair and sorrow. Amanda, taken aback, questioned, "What brings you here?" In response, Amelia mustered a faint sneer, casting a cold look at Amanda and retorting, "Why wouldn't I be here?" Unperturbed, Amanda urged, "Feel free then," and proceeded down the corridor, avoiding any interaction with Amelia. However, Amelia's tone suddenly turned sharp, demanding, "Halt!" Reluctantly, Amanda turned back with a gloomy expression, making it clear that she had no desire to encounter anyone from Anderson’s family."What is your intention?" Suddenly, Amelia forced a miserable smile, resembling an injured little white rabbit. "Why do you have to meddle with my boyfriend?" She questioned with a gasp, her trembling nose bridge resembling a pitiful, dehydrated goldfish."Amelia, I'll say it aga
Dickson looked at her from head to toe. His hawk-like eyes seemed to be seeking credit.Amanda took a deep breath and swiftly breathed in and out.She didn’t want to say anything now–not a single word.Seeing she was still silent, Dickson arrogantly pursed his lips and confidently approached her from the opposite side of the bed."Your daughter might have been dead without me! Don't you think you should express your gratitude?" he said. Facing Amanda, Dickson remained shamelessly self-assured, as if his actions were entirely expected.Amanda took a deep look at Dickson and had mixed feelings.She was naturally grateful to him. However, after hearing what he said, the gratitude suddenly turned into ashes."Say something!" Dickson insisted, reaching out to encircle her shoulder."What are you after?" Amanda questioned, her pupils narrowing, revealing a subtle sharpness.“Judging from his expression, he probably wants me to compensate him with that again!” Amanda thought. The last bit of
Hearing the way Amanda spoke, Stella became angry once more and took it upon herself to react, "Has my son committed a crime? If at all he committed a crime, It's not for you to pass judgement!"Patrick watched the way Stella spoke and got furious as he cautioned her,"Shut your mouth immediately!" He then turned to Mandy, as he begged for her forgiveness, urging her to forgive Stan this time.Patrick pleaded, "Rick acted impulsively, but he has learned his lesson. Please forgive him this time; I'm kneeling before you, begging for it!" With those words, Patrick was seen kneeling before Amanda, who promptly responded, "Patrick, get up. Don't do this."Amanda was disgusted at the sight of Patrick kneeling before her. Knowing fully well that he is older than her.He didn’t bother about his age as he kept persisting."If you won't forgive Stan, I'll continue kneeling!" He was on the verge of kneeling again in front of Amanda. Annoyed and frustrated, Amanda took hold of Patrick, asking him t
Exhausted, Stella exclaimed, "Must you involve the police in this? It's not a big deal."Amanda, taken aback and infuriated by Stella's comment, countered, "Not a big deal? You're downplaying it; Stanley committed intentional homicide!"Stella argued, "Your daughter is alive! At most, it's a prank. Why go to such lengths to send my cousin to prison?"Unwilling to prolong the argument, Amanda stated, "I don't want to continue this conversation. Let the police decide. They'll judge whether Stanley played a prank or committed a crime."Turning away, Amanda prepared to leave, dismissing Stella and Stanley. Stella, desperate, yelled, "Don't walk away from me!"Amanda firmly responded, "I won't engage with you." Realising Amanda's seriousness, Stella grew anxious.Amelia, feeling uneasy, remarked, "Intentional homicide? Stanley could face attempted murder charges even if he didn't take a life. In that case, he'll still be sentenced."Stella, dismissing the gravity of the situation, retorted
Stella and Patrick’s expressions shifted as they began to suspect that Stanley might have abducted Amanda’s daughter. However, Stella was consistently unreasonable, always ready to argue even when lacking advantages. Despite this, Stella would staunchly defend Stanley, even if he were in the wrong. Stella yelled, “You can’t just do whatever you want to Stanley, no matter the circumstances.”Indignant, Stella untied her distressed Cousin, shouting, “Who do you think you are? How dare you harm my cousin like this?” Amelia delicately shook Dickson’s arm, suggesting, “Dickson, perhaps this is just a misunderstanding. Stanley is my friend’s Cousin. Can't we resolve this through dialogue? Why resort to violence?”Patrick also lamented, “Mandy, Stan is like your younger brother too. How can you harm him so severely? We're family; we should be able to talk things out. A sister shouldn't treat her brother like this.”Amanda countered, “Hmph. Stanley wouldn’t have done something so outrageous i
