Amy was paused as she heard what Richard said. She thought Richard would be happy to know that. Should he thank her for doing so?
But what she heard from Richard was totally different.
Seeing that Amy kept silent, Richard felt his heart was broken. She changed, and she became so terrible. The simple and lovely Amy was gone, and what was left in this woman was calculations.
"It's fine. I'm not that easy to be beat down. If you want to play games, I'm in." Richard left harsh words when he left.
Amy was totally dumbfounded. What was wrong with her helping him? Shouldn't she help him? This man was heartless to her at the beginning, but she could not help helping him when he was in the most crisis. But why did he say that to her?
Halbert did not wake up in the hospital, and Cathy cried every day, which made Richard feel sad.
Even though he left the harsh words that day, he still didn't bear to do it. He always thought Amy was not the kind of person.
"Richard, when is your father going to wake up? What did he see?" Cathy looked at her husband and her eyes were swollen from crying.
"I don't know, Mom. Don't be too upset. He'll soon wake up." Richard swallowed his grief and comforted Cathy.
"Mom, do you believe Amy would change into a bad person?" Richard asked Cathy suddenly.
"I don't believe it. Amy is a wonderful girl. She is the kindest, smartest girl I have ever met." Cathy shook her head. A few days ago, Amy was trying to persuade her to dissipate the misunderstanding between her and Halbert. How could a nice girl like her would be bad?
"Well, mom, things aren't always what they seem, but you'd better be careful." Even his mother didn't think Amy would be bad. But things were not that simple as they seemed to be.
"What do you mean?" Cathy felt strange. He'd been acting so strangely lately.
"No matter what happens in the future, Mom, keep trusting Amy." Richard could tell much to Cathy yet. Even though a lot of evidences were putting Amy at a disadvantage, he still believed her.
"Amy, shouldn't you go and see old Mr. Carter? I heard he was in poor conditions. You're the daughter-in-law of the Carter family, so you should go visit him," Andy urged Amy.
Amy was about to go to see Halbert, Richard's remark spoiled her plan.
"Andy, you have no idea what Richard thinks of me. He knew that I bought off his inspectors. And he knew that I went to Matt, but he said I was just trying to get back at him. What a bad man! I haven't started my revenge yet." Amy stirred her coffee hard.
"That's different. You've got to do what you should do, and don't care what they do," Andy urged Amy to go see Halbert.
Halbert was the chairman of the HD Group and Amy's father-in-law. Although Amy didn't want to return to the Carter family, she couldn't change the fact that she was his daughter-in-law.
