Amanda found herself grappling with an unexpected surge of sensitivity. Despite a post-divorce vow to avoid love and the pain it brought, thoughts of Dickson stirred turmoil within her just five short years later. Frowning, she shed bitter tears, wrestling with emotions she thought she had buried.In an attempt to quell her inner turmoil, Amanda reached into her bag, extracting sertraline and paroxetine pills. Without hesitation, she swallowed them, transforming into a work maniac, immersing herself in tasks. Steering clear of the office, she delved into a backlog of responsibilities, planning to work overtime to clear the load. Her work team began trickling in, signalling the start of her campaign to streamline the company by eliminating deadwood.Downstairs, a black Lexus RX 330 awaited, and Andrew hurriedly disembarked. Despite owning an array of luxury cars and drivers, he chose to drive alone, favouring a less ostentatious approach. Anxious to locate Amanda, he inquired at the co

Luckily, Francisc only sustained minor injuries. The doctors treated her wounds and applied ointment, ensuring they were okay. Andrew, too, had minimal injuries, requiring just a simple bandage.“Mandy, if you're hesitant about sending them abroad, consider Africa. They'll soon be in Pre-school, and there's an exclusive private one there. It's close to my mother’s house, just an hour away by boat. You can visit them weekly or every two weeks,” suggested Andrew.“Let them stay there for a while. Once Dickson and Amelia are married, he'll likely forget and won't bother you,” he added. After a pause, Andrew reassured Amanda, “Francis hasn't been exposed. You don't need to worry about him. Keep him by your side.”Amanda hesitated, concerned about the proximity of her current city and Africa , separated only by a sea. Zamura, a small city, was the only place in the country where gambling was allowed, and the Dickson family was among the top three gambling tycoons there.“It's too close. I'

Patrick took a drag from his cigarette and sighed, "What can I do? That rebellious girl disrespects me. Do you think she'd be polite to your people?""You're such a pushover. As her brother, you can't even control your own sister! Maybe you should hold a press conference and publicly disassociate yourself from her," retorted Stella.Patrick slapped his thigh and responded with a wry face, "Hey, let's not bring something like this to the press! Isn't it disgraceful enough? Besides, even if I'm not the chairman, our family still has significant savings and numerous side businesses. We can still live our lives!"Stella fired back, "How is that the same? Dad’s company is a family business that was on track to become a listed company! Now, something significant like that has fallen into the hands of others easily! I will not tolerate it.""So what? My father can give his inheritance to anyone, but he chose to give it to Stella""Oh, come on. Who would give his inheritance to his daughter i

Dickson smoked two cigarettes in a row, his throat feeling parched, while his handsome face darkened with frustration. Unable to endure any longer, he retrieved his phone and took the initiative to call Amanda."Ring!"Amanda's phone started ringing, but unfortunately, she missed the call as she was still in the bathroom, practising facial management and body movements."Ring!"The phone remained unconnected. A robotic voice stated, "Hello, the person you've dialled is currently unavailable...""d*mn!" Dickson cursed, slamming the phone to the ground. "How dare she not answer my call!" he seethed inwardly. Andy frowned upon witnessing this display, picking up the phone, removing the SIM card, and replacing it with another.This marked the fifth phone Dickson had broken that month, prompting David to reflect, "No wonder people say that the rich can do whatever they want.""David, notify Ocean Street financial market to block Terry’s company...""Noted! By the way, I just got the news t

Amanda appeared more captivating than a TV celebrity, giving the impression that it wasn't merely a press conference but a deliberate showcase.Amelia, feeling more anxious than ever, was distressed by Dickson's increasingly cold treatment since Amanda's return. Urging her friend to take action, Amelia exclaimed, "Stella, look at Amanda's smug face! Do something! Don't let her become so arrogant!"Stella , swallowing heavily, snorted, and assured, "Relax. Let her believe she's winning for now. Her downfall is imminent in a few days. By the way, have you heard from Mr. Dickson in the past two days?" Amelia's expression darkened upon realising Dickson hadn't contacted her for two days.Frustrated, Amelia sighed, "What can I do? I can't just ask him to marry me." Stella , listening to her friend , playfully poked her forehead, exclaiming, "You're so foolish! Forget it. I'm brilliant. Why did I end up with such a naive friend? If you were half as savvy as I am, dealing with a man wouldn't
