A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 206

Charlie explained while comforting Amanda with a claptrap face.

"Then, tell me. How could I stop him from loving her?"

As a matter of fact, Amanda had a plan. But she decided to be an innocent and poor girl in front of her father, hoping that he would solve the problem for her. In that way, she would not have to do it herself and would avoid the possibility that Rufus might blame her should he find out that she had set a trap for Cassandra.

But when it came to Charlie that would be a different thing. He was Rufus's respected teacher. Even when he would do something to Cassandra to make her leave Rufus, Rufus would never say a word to blame him. Amanda was certain about it.

When Charlie was about to speak something to answer Amanda's question, there was a knock on the door.

Both the father and the daughter exchanged looks with each other and then Charlie answered, "Come in, please!"

The door opened, and it was Horace. He was standing at the door, wearing a gay smile.

"Mr. Tang?! What brings you here!"

Amanda exclaimed, she was totally shocked and confused as to what brought Horace to give her a visit.

"Oh, how about you call me Uncle Horace from now on!"

Horace smiled and walked in. When he saw Charlie, he was sure that he must be Amanda's father judging from their resemblance.

"You must be Amanda's father. Nice to meet you."

Horace offered a handshake. If he guessed it right, Amanda's father must be somebody well-known and prominent.

Charlie was tall and had some air of authority. His aura was commanding a powerful presence, which made people feel suppressed in front of him.

If Horace was not a sly old fox, probably he would surrender to Charlie's power too.

Horace had always inferred that Amanda probably had a strong family background. Seeing her father in person, he confirmed his assumptions.

Should Amanda marry Rufus someday, marvelous benefits would be on the way for him and the Tang family!

Horace calculated the possibilities in his mind while wearing a caring and genial smile.

"Amanda, how are you feeling right now?" asked Horace.

He changed the way he addressed her to 'Amanda' and didn't address her as 'Miss Ke' anymore. Since he asked Amanda to call him 'Uncle, ' he felt it would be wiser to call her first name too. It was better for them to get closer. They were going to be family anyway.
