Contract Marriage With Mysterious President novel Chapter 169

"Amy, you are just a troublemaker, right? You were exposed yesterday for dating a man instead of seeing your grandfather while he was dying. And now, everyone knew you were quarreling with your family at the hospital. What a capable woman you are!" Halbert looked at the newspaper and angrily threw it under Amy's feet.

Yesterday, Amy was with Cathy and thus she did not notice the news. But she was scolded by Halbert as soon as she returned today.

Amy looked down and picked up the newspaper. She saw the newspaper was full of photos of Grandma Eva cursing at her. The angle of the photos was excellent, and it looked like Amy was the one started quarreling.

"Dad, you were in the hospital that day. I didn't say anything." Amy said to Halbert.

"You didn't say anything? Look at this. Who was the man? What were you two doing?" Halbert threw yesterday's newspaper to Amy.

Amy took a look. It was a picture of herself and a man. His face was blurry on purpose. However, she could tell that the man was Andy. He was holding her hand. But it was truly an incidence. It was taken when she was almost hit by Gina's bowling ball.

The title was quite interesting. It said that she, as the hostess of the Carters, secretly went to meet her lover and didn't even bother to visit Grandpa John at the hospital.

"Dad, this isn't the truth. He..." Amy wanted to explain to Halbert.

"It's not the truth? When John was in critical condition, you weren't by his side. Everyone was calling you, but none of them got through. Halbert also called, he knew it." Grandma Eva walked over and argued loudly.

When Halbert thought about it, he agreed with Eva. On that day, as he saw that Grandpa John couldn't make it, he had been calling Amy. However, the call couldn't get through. Halbert was very angry about this.

Grandpa John liked Amy very much and was always nice to her. But as he was dying, Amy wasn’t there for him.

"I don't want to hear your explanation. You weren't there back then, and you couldn't be reached. Think about it. When did our family fail you? But what you did is a disgrace to us!" At this time, Halbert was furious.

Seeing that Halbert wouldn't listen to her explanation and that Grandma Eva was instigating, Amy felt it was useless to say anything.

"Grandma, Dad, I need to go out. Let's talk about these after I get back." Amy had to pick up Sherry and Yuris. The contract was supposed to be signed today.

"Are you feeling guilty? Do you want to run? You wanna go find your lover and discuss how to deal with our family?" Grandma Eva walked over and pulled Amy, not willing to letting her go. She wanted to drive Amy out of the Carter family.

"Grandma, I have something very important to do today. Please let me go." Amy got so anxious since time was passing by very quickly.

"Is that how you speak to your grandma? This arrogant attitude? You did something wrong yet won't admit it?" Seeing that Amy was in a hurry to leave, Halbert was quite angry. Amy should give the Carters an explanation, right? But what was she doing now?!

"Dad, I will explain to Richard. He knows the best what I have done. But today, I don't have time to explain it to you. Please let me go. I have to go." Amy wanted to pull her arm out of Grandma Eva's grip.

However, Grandma Eva was a farmer since she was young and thus she was quite strong. Amy had to make greater efforts to pull her arm out. However, before she could do anything, Grandma Eva staggered and fell to the ground.

Bang! Halbert gave Amy a slap in the face.
