Eunice stared at her uncle in disbelief. Life had been too easy for her—so easy, in fact, that she’d forgotten who had made it all possible.
When she married into the Dawson family, her mother only gave her a few tens of millions as dowry.
But Benjamin, following their grandfather’s wishes, had granted her company shares and five shopfronts—enough to ensure she lived comfortably and held some status in the Dawson family.
For years, she had strutted around the Dawson family with pride, all thanks to those five shops, which brought in millions annually.
Those five shops were in a prime commercial district, each with three stories. The rent was sky-high.
And the shares—those brought her close to ten million yuan in yearly income. Not a small sum. For an ordinary noble family, it was enough to survive any crisis.
Even Wendell was stunned by how ruthless Benjamin was being. That income had helped their household grow
Amanda saw Benjamin and froze for a moment. This damn fate, how come she kept running into him no matter where she went?Benjamin was also a little surprised to see her."You’re waiting for me here?" Benjamin asked, looking at her.Amanda: "…" Where do you get this confidence that I’m here waiting for you?"No, my car is parked here. I’m just heading back." Amanda’s expression wasn’t great.Benjamin suddenly remembered. Two days ago, he had called Mark and asked about Amanda's health. "Is your health better?" He looked at her and added, "You seem strong, not the type to fall ill easily.""Better, thanks for your concern. Now, I’m leaving." Amanda’s face was cold, and she turned to walk away.Suddenly, Benjamin grabbed her arm.Amanda turned around and met his deep, dark eyes, momentarily stunned."What are you doing? Let go of me. Who knows who might take a photo, and I’ll end up being your little mistress again. Can't you just be straightforward like a man?" Amanda was furious. She d
Benjamin looked at her tear-filled face with no mercy in his eyes. His voice was low and hoarse. "The reason is simple. Because you're not worthy of me."Those words… they were so hurtful.Jennifer froze, her eyes widening as she staggered back a few steps.The answer was "You’re not worthy of me!"Jennifer really liked Benjamin—she had liked him since she was a child.She first liked him when she was little. Benjamin was about twelve years old at the time. That day, she went with her mother to the Schmidt family to see him.The boy was dressed in white, walking towards her in the wind, like a thousand flowers blooming.His peach blossom eyes were bright and clear, without a hint of impurity, just like the shining stars, but his whole demeanor exuded a coldness.It was love at first sight. This feeling quietly took root in her heart.Later, they went to and from school together. Everything about it was so beautiful that people around them envied and admired them. Everyone knew she and
Hearing the cold voice, both Patrick and Amanda turned to look toward the entrance.Patrick: "..." This was getting a bit awkward.There’s nothing more awkward than being overheard talking badly about someone.Patrick swore silently in his mind, then sneered at the dark-faced Benjamin. "Benjamin, since when did you develop a habit of eavesdropping?"Benjamin didn’t look at him but instead focused on Amanda. "Amanda, let’s talk."Patrick glared at him. "Amanda doesn’t have time. She’s on a date with me. If you know what's good for you, get lost."Amanda: "…" She looked at Patrick, pleading silently with him to keep his mouth clean.A date?He never held back his words."Amanda, I’ll wait for you in the parking lot." Benjamin said and motioned for Robin to push him away.Patrick was still furious. "You’re crazy, saying things like that here. It’s impossible to talk clearly."After Benjamin left, Patrick looked at Amanda and asked, "Amanda, do you want to go over?"Amanda looked at him w
Amanda looked at him with a smile. "I slept for a whole day and night, didn’t have time to check, but I know it’s really good." She was excited; after all, those were money-making formulas, and this one was far better than the Nectar of Fragrance formula.It was practical and beneficial to the public, and it would get better and better in the future."Right, you just wait to count the money," Patrick said, scooping out some cooked tripe and shrimp balls with a slotted spoon and placing them in the bowl in front of Amanda."Amanda, let it cool down a bit before eating, it won’t be so hot then.""Mm! Thank you!" Amanda smiled sweetly at him.She didn’t bring up what had happened earlier. The matter had been resolved, and telling him would only make him worry more."Why be so polite? We’re family," Patrick said with a smile, giving her a playful side-eye. "You don’t look too well. You should rest more and stop overexerting yourself."He was worried that she might overdo it again. "With y
The man looked at his phone with a hint of fear. They had failed. This mission was a complete failure!It was a disgrace to their lives—a disgrace that would also be their last."Can we not make the call? I don’t want to leave this world with regret!" The man cried, trying to hold onto some semblance of dignity. He was a man, and even in the face of death, he wanted to die with some respect.Amanda watched the tears streaming down his face and asked, "What? Can't accept the failure of your mission?"The man gave her a look that said, You really understand me. "You're clever. Yes, I can’t accept a failed mission," he admitted openly. He knew that with this woman’s ruthlessness, their lives would be forfeit today.Amanda slowly crouched beside him, exhaling lightly, "Well, it can’t be helped. I’m really curious to hear who hired you. I’ve guessed, but I want to hear her arrogant tone. Go ahead, big man. If you can bend and stretch, surely you aren’t afraid of a little failure after faci
The leader of the group looked at Amanda with disdain, a smug and arrogant expression on his face.The four of them had received million-dollar missions before. They never took on anything lower than that. The tasks they took on were always life-threatening, but once accepted, they never failed. Today, this little beauty had to die. She was too beautiful—such a shame to kill her, but it had to be done."Amanda, right?" the man smiled, pushing up his sunglasses."Yes." Amanda responded coldly, without any change in her expression."Good, as long as you're the right person. If we make a mistake, we’ll end up with a life on our conscience. Someone has paid for your life, and we’re here to take you on your final journey," the man said, his tone casual, as if murder were as easy as crushing an ant underfoot.Amanda’s lips curled into a cold smile as she said mockingly, "Is the person who hired you misinformed? Four of you are here to face me, a champion in Sanda. Did you overestimate yours
