Her husband's voice echoed in the room, stopping Amanda where she stood.
"Stop. What are you doing? Give the girl some space to figure things out."
Amanda said sadly, "What is upsetting her? Why is she breaking things?"
Bob continued to read the newspaper as he responded, "She must go through the motions. We can't help and there is no need to worry about her reactions. It's better than her being a home wrecker. She went too far last time."
Although James didn't complain, Bob still felt ashamed.
Scheming was a taboo for men. They believed in handling issues fair and square.
"I feel so sad for our daughter. Why is she so obsessed with Young Master Mu?"
"He is an ideal man. It makes sense. She's young. She can't get over Charles Mu because she has yet to meet other better men. Everything will be right."
Amanda's blood-shot eyes and pent-up tears tagged at Bob's heart.
Amanda took Bob's advice and refrained from rushing to her daughter's aid.
Amy felt better after venting her anger by smashing the phone.
But after picking up the pieces, it was clear the phone was completely broken and couldn't be repaired.
Amy opened the door and shouted, "Mother, my phone fell on the ground and isn't working. Ask Mrs Zhang to buy me a new one, please. I need it now."
As she had broken the phone on impulse, she couldn't contact anyone.
She was upset now and in desperate need of a friendly companion. Sarah Shen was the friend she needed most at that hour.
After sending Amy the message, Sarah Shen waited for the reply patiently. Half an hour later, she had not received any response, which she found strange.
They were best friends and had been since they were children.
It didn't make sense that she did not respond, even if she was busy.
Besides, Sarah Shen saw that the message had been read.
So she called her, only to find that Amy's phone was dead.
Since the message had been read, that meant Amy's phone was on when she sent the message. But why was her phone switched off now?
Was it because Amy didn't want to see her so she blocked her number?
Within an hour, the maid came back with a new phone.
She pulled out the SIM card from the old phone and placed it in the new one, calling Sarah Shen the minute that she switched it on.
