“Oh?” Amanda responded with an air of indifference. “So easy to scare, huh?”
“Which hospital?” she asked calmly.
“Guofeng Hospital, 5th floor, Room 508,” Tara answered with precision.
She had always been concerned about her sister’s affairs.
“Alright, I got it. Don’t worry about her—she brought it on herself.”
“Okay, Sis. I’ll keep an eye on everything happening on their side.”
Amanda hummed in acknowledgment and hung up the call.
There was not a ripple in her eyes—serene and detached—as she resumed wrapping dumplings.
Carol had a guilty conscience. Being scared out of her wits by a nightmare? That was expected.
Amanda’s hands paused for a second. She lowered her gaze to the dumpling wrapper, falling into a brief daze. Back then, she’d treated Carol so kindly. Sadly, all her kindness had gone to waste.<
"Good morning, Mr. Schmidt!" Zachary greeted Benjamin with a broad smile.Benjamin, sitting in his wheelchair, glanced coldly at him. Despite his face being so arrogant, he still dared to show himself? Did he not fear being recognized?Benjamin’s long, narrow peach blossom eyes gleamed with cold sharpness. "You are Zachary?"It was the first time Benjamin had seen him after all these years.Zachary was a little surprised. "You know me?"Benjamin slightly raised his chin, his voice cold and detached. "Lin Madam has a son and a daughter. And the events with the Reed family yesterday... that’s how I came to know you."Zachary’s smile deepened as he looked at the man in the wheelchair. Even sitting down, Benjamin exuded a powerful aura, which still pressed heavily on him."Mr. Schmidt! Let’s formally introduce ourselves. I am Zachary, currently the General Manager of Lin Group." Zachary introduced himself confidently, his tone haughty, as if the youthful arrogance of a man who had not yet
Tara: [Sister, I’m looking into it. I’ll let you know as soon as I have any updates.]Amanda: [Okay.]"Mommy, are we ready? We should get going!" Terry stood by the door, smiling with hope in his big, starry eyes. It was time to head to their next destination.Traveling was so much fun, especially road trips. You could go wherever you wanted, stay at a scenic spot as long as you liked.Amanda glanced at Terry, finishing packing up. They’d be in the South by lunchtime.The closer they got to the South, the better the scenery seemed to get, and her mood was also clearly improving.If she couldn’t find her mother’s family, it wouldn’t be a regret. From now on, she would be a good daughter to her mom."Sweetheart, Mommy will be ready soon. Go on and pack your things." Amanda smiled and urged, ready to finish up and head out.Terry beamed and happily left to pack.Amanda checked her bag one last time, making sure she hadn’t forgotten anything. As she was about to leave, her phone suddenly
Benjamin nodded slightly. After a day of rest, he was in good spirits.Meanwhile, Howard had managed to make Benjamin feel a little embarrassed today, which brought him a strange sense of satisfaction.Ah, Benjamin, you have your bad days too!His heart felt light, like a weight had been lifted.Benjamin, however, was entirely preoccupied with thoughts of when Amanda would return. He didn’t notice the complicated emotions swirling in Howard’s heart.All his focus was on Amanda. The person who had orchestrated their troubles, he just wanted to find them and tear them apart.Both Terry and Mark had suffered greatly.His voice was cold and hard, "Let’s go."His tall, straight figure stood up slowly, towering over both Brad and Howard.Howard glanced silently at Brad, wondering if Benjamin was angry.The Mr. Schmidt’s mood was unpredictable, and Howard was cautious. When his legs were fine, he was still somewhat of a normal person, occasionally cracking jokes. But once in the wheelchair,
Zachary looked at her with a pitiful expression. His body stiffened, and the fire within him gradually ignited.Jennifer, the woman he had liked for a long time, but sadly, her heart had always belonged to Benjamin.Every time he saw this woman, gazing at her smooth skin, he couldn’t help but want to possess her.Today's situation was expected. In such a large circle, everyone hurt each other for their own interests.Now, with her family facing difficulties, she had no choice but to turn to him.In Jennifer's eyes, he was nothing more than a backup.But he was still willing.He gave a faint smile, gentle as always, but Jennifer couldn’t read his true thoughts.In fact, there were many times when she couldn’t see through Zachary. He always showed her his most gentle side, the perfect gentleman.He was handsome, kind, and always said the right words. He was the type of man any woman would easily fall for.She rarely saw him lose his temper. He always called her "Jennifer" in the most ge
Benjamin’s face showed an indecipherable expression, shifting between anger and doubt, his eyes darkening as he muttered, "I’ve been thinking about this, but I can’t figure it out. Who was the mastermind behind all of this?""Amanda was set up by Barry and Carol. When Amanda was pregnant, Evelyn kept her captive. It wasn’t until she was about to give birth that they let her out. They used the baby in her womb to force her to hand over the formula. After Amanda gave it to them, Carol and Barry didn’t let her go. Instead, they tried to burn her alive. She escaped after struggling and, under the cover of night, managed to flee to the roadside. It was then that Patrick found her, and he sent her to the hospital to give birth. This is what I know of the truth," Brad explained.Benjamin’s face darkened further. Was everyone involved in this truly just part of a grand scheme? Or was there an even bigger mastermind? Was it Delphine or someone else?How much suffering had Amanda endured? How d
"Yo! Miss Reed, you can’t say that! Why blame our madam for something you did wrong?"Jennifer was startled when she heard Robin’s voice. She quickly turned around, her face showing signs of panic as she looked at him. What did he just hear?Robin looked at her with a cold smile. The old Jennifer used to appear gentle and kind in their eyes, but the current Jennifer seemed venomous.It’s difficult for someone to keep up a facade, but all it takes is one word or one incident to break that image, causing a person to lose all favor and goodwill.Jennifer didn’t expect Robin to be standing behind her. She smiled, quickly putting on her gentle facade again, "Robin, I was just too angry earlier. What I said was just in the heat of the moment."Robin gave her a detached smile. "What’s there to be angry about, Miss Reed? If you hadn’t done those things, would any of this be happening today? Besides, blaming Madam for this situation doesn’t seem right. You've been provoking her all along. Mada
