Nevertheless, reaching this stage in her relationship with Dickson had been a challenging journey for Amelia, and she was not ready to give up at this moment. Her desire was to marry Dickson and become a part of the Anderson’sfamily. Even if Dickson engaged in infidelity and went out with other women regularly, she felt compelled to quietly accept it, as long as he granted her the status of Mrs. Dickson."Dickson, that's not what I meant! What I'm trying to say is that you and Amanda have a history. Moreover, her sister and I are close friends. If news of this spreads, it won't be beneficial for Amanda, you, or me. Dickson, I understand you're facing a lot of pressure and need an outlet, but can it not involve Amanda ?" Amelia implored, tears welling up in her eyes.Amelia's words carried a clear message. Dickson was free to seek the company of other women, but Amanda could not be one of them. Even gold diggers were preferable to Amanda, who posed a threat to Amelia's status.Upon hea
Absolutely! You got it! Mr. Dickson has been making regular appearances here every two to three days lately. It used to be a rare occurrence if he showed up even once a year!Hey, do you think Mr. Dickson is planning to tie the knot with Miss Amanda?It's tough to say. Word is Miss Amanda didn't have triplets, but twins. And the likely father of those kids is Mr. Dickson!If Miss Amanda' children are indeed Mr. Dickson, why is she still working so hard? She's practically set for life!Really? I thought Miss Amanda' children belonged to Mr. Andrew.You're right. Isn't Mr. Andrew, Miss Amanda boyfriend?Well, the details are hazy. The relationships among the wealthy are like a maze. Us ordinary folks can't unravel them!Enough chatter. Betty is approaching!The employees promptly resumed their tasks, avoiding further gossip. Meanwhile, Amanda was engrossed in sorting out the finer points of the contract with the Newbisco Company. A knock on the door interrupted her."Come on in!" Amanda
In the canteen, a line of employees waited for their food. Amanda grabbed a stainless steel plate from the disinfection cabinet, placed an order for a staff meal at the kitchen window, and settled in the staff canteen to eat.Knowing Dickson's finicky eating habits, Amanda anticipated he wouldn't opt for a staff meal. As expected, Dickson sat beside her, merely observing as she consumed her food. Using the stainless steel spoon, Amanda mixed the dishes on her plate, eating the combination one spoonful at a time.Dickson, displaying a mix of disdain and shock, frowned at the unconventional approach. To him, it seemed like feeding pigs—how could a person use stainless steel cutlery? The usually lively staff canteen was notably silent today; the presence of Amanda and Dickson discouraged others from dining there."Is it good?" Dickson asked.Rolling her eyes, Amanda dismissed Dickson's inquiry. Unlike him, she wasn't overly particular about her food and didn't scrutinise every bite. For
Stella made a special trip to the Terry’s Company to defend her Friend, Amelia, who was threatened by the rekindled relationship between Dickson and Amanda. Stella had harboured a long-standing grudge against Amanda and was not willing to tolerate the situation. As soon as she entered the company building, Stella began loudly hurling curses, accompanied by four stylishly dressed middle-aged women. They accused Amanda of being a shameless woman who specialised in seducing her sister's best friend man and demanded that she come out and confess her actions. The group, like Stella, had achieved wealth and status in their youth by pursuing relationships with men.Their lack of concern for etiquette was evident, as they freely unleashed a barrage of insults when reprimanding others. This behaviour caught the attention of the employees on the first floor, prompting them to gather and witness the unfolding spectacle.Upon Mrs. Stella’s arrival, dismay and disapproval circulated among the onlo
Dickson's voice carried a subtle intensity, leaving an oppressive air that seemed to stifle those around him. Stella's complexion paled, and she pressed her lips, displaying discomfort.To be straightforward, Stella refrained from directly questioning whether Dickson sought other women. Given the current circumstances, it would be considered fortunate if Dickson proceeded with his scheduled marriage to Amelia. Any cancellation would undoubtedly turn their family into the subject of mockery in the City.While Stella had no qualms causing trouble for Amanda, she hesitated to do so with Dickson. "Dickson, I didn't mean it that way," she hastily clarified.Dickson, with his legs crossed, reclined against the sofa, wearing a deep frown. "Then what did you mean?" he inquired.Stella swiftly contemplated her response and offered, "I meant, considering you're about to get married, you should spend more time with Amelia! Why keep seeking out Amanda in your free time? It's inviting gossip!"Dic
Dickson wore a terrifying expression as he fixed his gaze on Amanda. "Amanda, don't speak recklessly. You need to be accountable for your words."Amanda forcefully pushed Dickson away and locked eyes with him in anger. "I will take responsibility. I'm telling you responsibly now that the person I've always loved is Drew! I only married you because you're the president of a billion-dollar consortium.""I went through great lengths to align myself with you because you're the wealthiest man in the City! My aim was to marry into the Anderson family and use you. But now, I have no need for you. I don't want to play games with you anymore. Please stop bothering me!"Dickson clenched his fists. "I don't believe it!""You don't believe me? Fine, I'll tell you today that the children belong to Drew ! If you still doubt me, I'll present you with their birth certificates and paternity test results with Drew on another occasion!" Amanda declared.Dickson felt a chill in his blood at these words,
"Mr. Dickson...," the chauffeur stammered, trembling with fear."Shut up!" Dickson snapped, and the chauffeur, too frightened to speak further, fell silent. Aware of Dickson’s temper, he could only silently pray for their safety.Upon Dickson's return home, Kiki called Dickson, though frowning, answered the call. "Hello, Sister."Kiki's voice came through the line. "Dickson, come and have dinner tonight with me.""Sister, I'm a bit tired today. Can we do it another day?" Dickson requested.Dickson took a moment to consider before offering sincere advice. "Dickson, I don't want to meddle in your personal matters. But you need to consider potential repercussions. Don't act impulsively! Since you're planning to marry Stella’s Friend of the Terry’s family, avoid getting too involved with their eldest Sister. People will gossip, and it could negatively impact the Anderson Family."Having seen pictures of Dickson and Amanda passionately kissing at the airport, Kiki, mindful of the Anderson
Kiki, a person with a sense of pride, easily grasped Amanda's message. She was familiar with her brother's character, and from Amanda’s words, it was evident that Amanda too possessed strength and pride. Kiki acknowledged that some issues were likely Dickson's responsibility and assured Amanda that she would counsel him.She reminded Amanda that the Terry’s Company was the result of her father's hard work, expressing her desire to prevent any negative consequences for the company. Amanda thanked her, and as they bid farewell, Amanda personally escorted Kiki downstairs. Once Kiki left, Amanda sighed in relief, feeling a bit anxious and hoping that Kiki could handle Dickson.Amanda believed in her ability to manage the Terry’S Company effectively as long as Dickson didn't engage in any deceitful actions. Dickson kept his promise to return to the Anderson mansion for dinner every weekend, maintaining a casual demeanour during the meals. He casually inquired about Kiki’s visit to Amanda,
