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

    Amanda was terrified beyond belief, her heart pounding so intensely that it felt on the verge of leaping out of her chest.She contemplated, "If he had collided with that truck at the previous speed, even with seat belts, we might have died! It's one thing if I'm gone, but what about my two children?"Fearful of the consequences, Amanda refrained from shouting at him again. Instead, she pleaded in horror, "Dickson, I beg you. Please don't do this..."Vroom!He restarted the car, transforming it into an uncontrollable beast, roaring as it careened through traffic."Dickson, please stop! I'm begging you!"Dickson appeared oblivious to her pleas, continuing to accelerate. The car daringly overtook others on the road, each manoeuvre nerve-wracking.Fortunately, Dickson proved to be a skilled driver. Whenever it seemed imminent for his car to collide with others, they miraculously avoided each other."Ah! Ah!"In moments of intense fear, Amanda closed her eyes multiple times, clutching the

    During the incident, he hadn't gotten a good look at the girl's face. However, at this moment, he seemed to recall it. The girl who had rescued him had remarkably long hair that almost twisted around his neck underwater, a stark contrast to Amelia’s shorter hair. Nonetheless, upon being rescued and waking up on the shore, the first person he saw was Amelia. Subconsciously, he had assumed it was Amelia who saved him.Amanda coughed violently, utterly drained. Having spent a significant amount of time in the ocean, she had ingested a considerable amount of seawater. Despite her proficient floating skills, dragging a well-built man with her left her feeling quite helpless.Both of them bobbed in the water, only about ten metres away from the shore. If she were swimming back alone, she could probably do it in less than a minute. However, dragging Dickson with her, they struggled in the water for over ten minutes before finally reaching the shore.As Amanda coughed persistently, she stagge

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
