At the hospital, Kiki spent over a week, and her condition had stabilised. Today marked her discharge. "Sister, be careful!" Dickson warned. Despite four healthcare workers and two family doctors attending to Kiki, Dickson was still concerned. He personally assisted her into the wheelchair. Kiki, showing signs of a stroke with slightly slurred speech, reassured him, saying, "It's okay. Don't be too nervous." Dickson offered to take her home, and Kiki agreed.She insisted Dickson return to work the next day, emphasising the importance of his job. Dickson, however, prioritised her health, promising to care for her until she fully recovered. Kiki, appreciative but insistent that she was fine, urged him not to neglect his work at the office."Fine then," Dickson conceded. "I'll head to the office tomorrow."Kiki paused, letting out a sigh. She cautioned, "The engagement with Amelia needs to be handled carefully. Don't stir up more trouble. Negative rumours about the Anderson Company are a
"The Ardona Company and Frizona Ltd approached us," Amanda explained. "I can't just turn away business that comes to our doorstep, can I?"Upon hearing this, Dickson's lips formed a sinister smile, and he fixed Amanda with a gloomy gaze. The loss of the two deals by the Terry’s Company wasn't the main concern; rather, it was Amanda's role in disrupting the market. The repercussions of this event were likely to create a significant butterfly effect, prompting Dickson to take timely action to prevent it. He couldn't tolerate such behaviour that disrupted the market."What do you think you're doing?" Dickson questioned. "Trying to undermine me and my business?" As he spoke, he menacingly advanced a few steps closer to Amanda, his tall and imposing figure casting a shadow over her.Amanda's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively took two steps backward. "I genuinely didn't know that the Ardona Gadgets and Frizona Ltd intended to sign contracts with the Terry’s Company," she insisted.
Dickson paused, contemplating the situation, and lifted his eyebrows ever so slightly. With a disdainful expression, he remarked, "If the Ardona Gadgets and the Frizona Company are so eager to partner with the Terry’s Company , let them do so! Given its current capabilities, the Terry’s Company simply cannot manage such a massive production capacity. Acquire a substantial quantity of raw materials from the market, and ensure that the Anderson Company microchips are off-limits to the Terry’s Company."Jack found himself utterly speechless, shocked by what he had just heard from Dickson. Dickson’s manoeuvres were clearly designed to corner the Terry’s Company.Both the Ardona Gadgets and Frizona Company operated in the electronics industry, both dependent on microchips. Currently, only the Anderson Company could supply these specific microchips. Expressing concern, Jack addressed Mr. Dickson, pointing out the precarious financial state of the Terry’s Company. He emphasised that failing
Once Dickson departed, Amelia expressed her frustration by stomping her feet, tears welling up instantly. In a fit of anger, she shouted at the driver, "I don't need you to send me!" With that, she stormed out of the car park, her disappointment palpable. Having waited for Dickson the entire afternoon, she hadn't anticipated such indifference to her feelings.As Amelia angrily left the car park, she decided to call Eric for comfort whenever she felt mistreated by Dickson. Eric, excited upon receiving her call, promptly rode his motorcycle to pick her up.Meanwhile, Dickson drove without a clear destination in mind. After circling the elevated highway twice, he oddly found himself in front of the Terry’s Company building. Aware that Amanda was still engrossed in her work past eight o'clock, he harboured a genuine desire to check if she had sustained serious injuries.Surveying the first floor of the building, Dickson noted that Amanda's car remained in its original spot, and the office
Before Dickson could finish speaking, Amanda swiftly pulled a stun baton from her handbag and aggressively thrust it in his direction. Dickson responded promptly, seizing Amanda's hand and deflecting the baton before it could make contact.“Ah!” exclaimed Amanda, surprised as the stun baton dropped to the ground. Dickson's demeanour shifted abruptly, transforming his recent guilt towards Amanda into anger.“Amanda, how could you attempt a sneak attack on me again?” Dickson accused. Startled, Amanda's stun baton lay on the ground as she involuntarily stepped back in panic.Dickson, wearing a malevolent expression, advanced in a fit of fury, closing the distance to Amanda by two menacing steps. Amanda, gripped by fear, rapidly ducked and slipped beneath Dickson's arm before he could respond.Summoning all her strength, she sprinted towards the car park exit, reluctant to be alone with Dickson. The thought of enduring pain without the ability to resist terrified her even more."Amanda, h
Dickson's brow knitted in a tight frown, and the dessert he held slipped from his grip, tumbling to the ground."The patient might have just left," the nurse responded, a hint of surprise evident in her eyes. A moment ago, she had doubted Mr. Dickson's presence in their hospital, but now she could see it clearly—it was indeed Mr. Dickson.Without uttering a word, Dickson turned around, his expression cold, and walked away with determined strides.His back emanated a cool and composed aura, tall and erect, exuding a pronounced sense of masculinity. His physique surpassed even that of Western male models.The nurses behind him were captivated. "Oh my god, it's really Mr. Dickson!""I can't believe Mr. Dickson actually came to our hospital! Wow, he's incredibly handsome in person. He outshines all the male celebrities!""By the way, is the patient Mr. Dickson just bringing in Miss Amanda?""Tsk tsk, it appears so! The attending doctor mentioned that Miss Amanda has quite severe external
Amanda had just entered the elevator when, before the doors closed, someone pressed the button to reopen them. The doors slowly slid apart, revealing Dickson with a cold expression.Notably, he wasn't wearing a suit but a knee-length overcoat over a black shirt. His meticulously combed hair featured a few loosely hanging strands, creating an air of both strength and a touch of wickedness. Despite his undeniable handsomeness, Amanda couldn't help but feel a sudden surge of anxiety upon seeing him. She instinctively pressed herself against the elevator wall.Dickson, however, showed no signs of anger and maintained a calm demeanour. He didn't inquire about her sneaking out the previous day. Amanda's heart raced, and she clenched her fists, prepared for any confrontation.Fortunately, Dickson chose not to make things difficult for her. Treating her as if she were invisible, he ignored her presence. As the elevator ascended, Amanda felt an overwhelming sense of anxiety, and the atmosphere
"Then call the police!" Dickson retorted with a sneer. Amanda's beautiful face displayed extreme displeasure at his suggestion. She would never dare to involve the police, considering the significant impact it could have on the Haynes Group."Dickson, please, I beg you!" Amanda pleaded. "Can you refrain from disrupting the order of the Haynes Group..."Dickson immediately interrupted her. "How have I disrupted the company's order?" he challenged. "I haven't even pursued the matter of you disrupting the entire market! You have the audacity to claim I'm disrupting the company's order? Besides, I'm also a director of the company. Can I not come to the office?"Amanda took a deep breath and argued, "Why are you even here in the office? You're not involved in the management. You're here purely for amusement!"Upon hearing this, Dickson raised his eyebrows and gave a sly smile. "Hey, you're right!" he admitted. "I'm just here to have some fun!""I handed you two significant deals. Shouldn't
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
