Fanny: [Amanda, that bastard Micheal refuses to divorce me.]Amanda glanced down at her phone and âbangââshe put down her chopsticks heavily.The loud sound caught the attention of both Mark and Benjamin, who looked over at her.Amanda was focused on typing a message, unaware of their gazes. This was her habit when she was angry.Her slender, fair fingers flew over the screen.[Why wonât he divorce you?]Fanny: [He went to the hospital this morning, got checked, and was diagnosed with a disease.]Amanda smiled slowly, a bit schadenfreude shining in her eyes like stars.âScumbag, serves him right!â she muttered softly.Benjamin: ââŠâ This woman actually talks to herself.Who was that scumbag anyway?Amanda: [Donât drag it out with him, just do whatever needs to be done.]Fanny: [Iâm stunned too. Cindy and the Terry found tons of evidence against Micheal. With this, thereâs no worry. Her mom will have to beg me; the kids will be fine.]Amanda: [Alright.]Amanda put down her phone and rea
Before returning to the country, she had already set up the whole gambling trap. Evelynâs obsession with gambling was no secretâAmanda had long understood her adoptive motherâs vices and had crafted this show just for her.She came back for revenge. Whatever they did to her back then, she would return it tenfold now.They had stolen the Condensed Fragrance Pill recipe and profited handsomely for years.But soon, they would learn what it meant to wish they were dead.What it meant to have nothing.She had clawed her way out of hell, her body torn by pain, her face bloodied and disfigured, dragging a body filled with hatred, step by step, to where she was now. Even just recalling it made her tremble uncontrollably.To be born humanâEvelyn was not worthy of the title.As for Barry, he repaid kindness with betrayalâunfit to be called human.That blind fool⊠One day, she would make him kneel and beg for mercy.Bitterness churned in Amandaâs heart, her peach blossom eyes filled with icy hat
Aside from Amanda, everyone was stunned by Emma's sudden madness.Seeing Emma rushing to hit Mark, Jeremy stepped forward quickly and tripped her. She fell with a loud thud, her plump body collapsing right at Amandaâs feet.Amanda lowered her gaze to look at her, her expression frosty, her bearing proud. Her delicate features were filled with fury, and her shimmering eyes flickered with cold fire. She was determined to avenge her son.She stepped back slightly and asked in a low voice, âWhere did you get the poison?âNot far away, Kevin frowned slightly, casting a thoughtful glance at Amanda.âhmâŠâ Emma let out a strange laugh. âIt was a very beautiful young lady who gave it to me. Her name wasâŠâSuddenly, she stopped mid-sentence.Amanda's expression changed abruptly. She looked at every bodyguard in the room.She swiftly crouched down, grabbed the back of Emmaâs head, and stabbed a fine steel needle into a critical point.âSheâs dead!â She had actually died at the crucial moment!Am
After leaving, Amanda quickly contacted Tara to pick her up and prepare everything she needed. Cindy had taken the children to accompany Fanny through the divorce today, but Amanda hadnât heard any updates yet and didnât know how things were going.After arriving at the building, she changed clothes and applied her makeup. Moving with the utmost urgency, she rushed to the cafĂ©, where Brad was already waiting.She smiled as she approached. Brad looked at herâdressed in an elegant black dress, she appeared composed and mature.He quickly stood up and walked toward her.Amanda glanced at Brad. A white shirt and straight-leg trousersâsimple attire, but it only made his noble and refined temperament more pronounced.If this man werenât gay, heâd have every fan girl swooning.Brad said, âSamantha, Iâll have to trouble you again today.âHis voice was gentle and refined, like spring rain softly soaking the earthâsoothing and warm.Amanda smiled. âItâs no trouble at all. I have time. Letâs go.
At the sound of approaching footsteps, the three or four servants standing under the tree immediately fell silent.Seeing that it was Amanda and the young master, their faces tensed with unease.Amanda also spotted Emma among the group.Emma, upon seeing her, wore a mocking smirk on her aged face. She was still cracking sunflower seeds, deliberately spitting the shells on the ground with exaggerated forceâclearly putting on a show for Amanda.Amanda had expected something like this to happen. People were always so fickle. When you were poor and without status, those who looked down on you would treat you like dirt. But the wealthy were always fawned over and worshipped.âWhat were you saying?â Markâs cold, childish voice pierced through the air, eerily similar to Benjaminâs tone.The servants lowered their heads, not daring to speak. This was the moment Emma had been waiting for to shine.âYoung Master, we were just chatting idly, nothing important. Are you hungry? I can go make you s
Amanda already knew what she was going to cook today.She would make chestnut claypot rice, steamed fish, boiled shrimp, chicken soup, and pork meatballs with cabbageâenough for the three of them.In the spacious kitchen, everyone was busy with their own tasks, and no one dared provoke Amanda lightly.Everyone had assumed that once Benjamin woke up, heâd kick Amanda out. To their surprise, they were the ones almost out of a jobâBenjamin now relied on Amanda for all three meals a day.Aunt Amanda walked over with a smile, watching Amanda prepare hand-made meatballs. She asked cheerfully, âAmanda, do you need help?âAmanda glanced at her and replied calmly, âI wouldnât dare trouble you, Aunt Amanda. Youâre practically half a master of the Schmidt family, while Iâm just a newlywed. I wouldnât dare burden you.âShe was Benjaminâs legitimate wife, and they had a marriage certificate to prove it. While she didnât plan to stay in this house forever, the fact that Aunt Amanda always called he
