Dickson sneered and drawled, "Stop pointing fingers if you don't have any proof. What did I do? What does the plummeting of your father’s company shares have to do with me?"Infuriated, Amanda took a sharp breath and clenched the phone. "What the h*ll do you want?""What do I want? Isn't it clear to you?" Dickson replied.Amanda roared into the phone, "I'm telling you that there's no way it's going to happen! The child has already gone abroad and is unlikely to return soon! And, for the record, the child has nothing to do with you and Andrew's family! We're all adults. Please don't resort to this underhanded tactic."Dickson stuck his tongue out. "Hehe. Are you angry?"Amanda was rendered speechless by his response. "I'll be d*mned if I'm not!" she cursed in her mind.A wicked grin broke out on Dickson's face as he spoke deliberately in a rascal tone, "I just love it when you're pissed off but can't get to me." Dickson burst into laughter after saying that. Amanda rolled her eyes in a
Dickson smoked two cigarettes in a row, his throat feeling parched, while his handsome face darkened with frustration. Unable to endure any longer, he retrieved his phone and took the initiative to call Amanda."Ring!"Amanda's phone started ringing, but unfortunately, she missed the call as she was still in the bathroom, practising facial management and body movements."Ring!"The phone remained unconnected. A robotic voice stated, "Hello, the person you've dialled is currently unavailable...""d*mn!" Dickson cursed, slamming the phone to the ground. "How dare she not answer my call!" he seethed inwardly. Andy frowned upon witnessing this display, picking up the phone, removing the SIM card, and replacing it with another.This marked the fifth phone Dickson had broken that month, prompting David to reflect, "No wonder people say that the rich can do whatever they want.""David, notify Ocean Street financial market to block Terry’s company...""Noted! By the way, I just got the news t
"Mrs.Amanda, your beauty is truly captivating. Have you considered venturing into the entertainment industry?"Amanda responded with a graceful smile directed at the camera. "Nice try. I find fulfilment in the success of my father’s company.""Excuse me, when will you and Mr. Andrew tie the knot?""That's a personal matter. I can't address it at the moment."Amanda had been elusive about her relationship with Andrew for years, recognizing his role as her benefactor. Their partnership, however, was mutually beneficial. Being Mr. Dicksons ex-wife, she automatically attracted attention, bringing the spotlight to Andrew's film and television company."Mr. Andrew , any plans to propose to Mrs. Amanda?"Andrew grinned, casting a loving glance at Amanda. "That depends on when she's ready! If she's up for it now, I can propose on the spot!""That's sweet!""Go ahead, propose now!"The reporters cheered, but Amanda subtly signalled Andrew not to let the conversation stray. Amidst the crowd's g
Amanda appeared more captivating than a TV celebrity, giving the impression that it wasn't merely a press conference but a deliberate showcase.Amelia, feeling more anxious than ever, was distressed by Dickson's increasingly cold treatment since Amanda's return. Urging her friend to take action, Amelia exclaimed, "Stella, look at Amanda's smug face! Do something! Don't let her become so arrogant!"Stella , swallowing heavily, snorted, and assured, "Relax. Let her believe she's winning for now. Her downfall is imminent in a few days. By the way, have you heard from Mr. Dickson in the past two days?" Amelia's expression darkened upon realising Dickson hadn't contacted her for two days.Frustrated, Amelia sighed, "What can I do? I can't just ask him to marry me." Stella , listening to her friend , playfully poked her forehead, exclaiming, "You're so foolish! Forget it. I'm brilliant. Why did I end up with such a naive friend? If you were half as savvy as I am, dealing with a man wouldn't
Stella settled onto the soft leather couch, facing a rosewood desk of considerable length. Dickson reclined in his desk chair, with a glass bookcase stretching along the entire wall behind him."Wow, what a lavish office!" Stella couldn't resist glancing around. When she smiled, her hyaluronic acid-pumped face caused her cheeks to puff out, and her crimson red lips resembled blood.Dickson, feeling uneasy, cast an uncomfortable glance at Stella, on the verge of being repulsed by the strong scent of her perfume. With a sombre expression, he asked, "Mrs. Stella, is there anything I can assist you with?""Oh, it's nothing! I just came to see you," Stella replied with a flirtatious smile, gazing intently at Dickson. "You're quite handsome," she added.His features seemed as if they were chiselled by a divine hand. Not only did he possess a striking appearance, but his physique also rivalled that of international male models. He exuded a palpable air of masculinity. If Stella were two deca
The phone rang, and when Amelia saw that it was Dickson calling, she quickly answered. Clearing her throat, she greeted him with a cheerful "Hello!""Hello, Amelia!""What's up, Dickson?"After a brief pause, Dickson’'s deep voice inquired, "Are you available tonight?"Amelia's heart raced with excitement. It had been a while since Dickson had asked her out. "Yes, I'm free!""Let's have dinner tonight!""Sounds great! What time?""I'll pick you up at seven. We're going to a beautiful Dinner. Dress up!""Sure thing. I'll see you tonight!""See you tonight!" The call ended, and Amelia couldn't contain her joy as she jumped up.Stella happened to return and, upon seeing her friend's joy, she sneered and questioned, "Why are you so happy?""Stella, Dickson just called and invited me to dinner at the Avelia Diner tonight! friend, come and help me choose the right dress!""Well, it's all thanks to me. I can only assist you to a certain extent. The rest is up to you!" Stella hummed.Amelia w
Dickson glanced up and coincidentally spotted Amanda. She wore a black skirt that fell below her knees, accentuating her delicate swan neck and collarbone. Despite the dress not revealing much cleavage, she looked stunning and alluring—something he hadn't seen from her before. Her exposed collarbone and calves caught his attention, prompting a frown and an inexplicable surge of anger.What intensified his frustration was Andrew intimately holding Amanda's shoulders, gazing at her with admiration. Dickson could sense Andrew's genuine affection for her. The idea of them engaging in something unspeakable after their meal further irritated him, leaving Dickson with a mix of complicated emotions.Awkwardly coughing, he loosened his cravat with an icy expression. "Dickson, what's up?""Nothing. Go ahead and place the order." Amelia's expression dropped; she had just ordered."Dickson, why do you seem so distracted?""No, I'm not!" Dickson tried to conceal his irritation but couldn't tear hi
"Amanda, will you marry me?"Boom!Amanda's thoughts were in disarray, on the verge of explosion. She stared at Andrew in shock.In an instant, Andrew produced a diamond ring, sizable as a dove's egg, from his pocket.As the restaurant's music started playing, couples in coordinated attire arrived, clutching large bouquets of flowers.Halavia Diner was a hotspot for marriage proposals, offering to create the perfect setting for customers looking to pop the question, albeit at a steep price for the average individual."Amanda, today I officially confess my love for you! Will you marry me?" With those words, Andrew knelt down, presenting the diamond ring to Joanna.Amanda, unprepared for the proposal, pleaded, "Drew, please stand up. Don't do this!"Caught off guard by Andrew's public declaration of love, she was left utterly bewildered."Amanda, we've shared 3652 days together! Today marks the 2520th day of my love for you, with more to come in the future!"Amanda felt such intense ner
