It wasn’t long before the door was opened, but Amanda was extremely nervous because she was going to meet an elder.
Abbott also had watched her grow up.
One year was neither long nor short, but so many things had happened. Amanda also had changed a lot. She realized that there was a dark side to this world.
After a short while, the door was opened.
Abbott, in a suit, looked the same as he was when he was young. His face had the trace of the years. When seeing Amanda, he wasn’t surprised at all.
He moved aside and said, “Come in, please.”
Amanda pressed her lips and greeted him in a low voice, “Hi, Abbott.”
He hummed.
She entered his room.
The room was exactly the same as her, just on a different story.
“Well...”
“If you want to ask anything, please go ahead.” Abbott was quite straightforward. Looking at her, he slightly heaved a sigh, “Girl, you’ve worried us so much. An old man’s sayings are seldom untrue, but you didn’t listen...”
Amanda lowered her head slightly.
She knew he would scold her when they met.
“Abbott,” she looked up at him with a smile and said, “Can’t we just stop talking about things in the past, OK?”
Abbott sat down, “Have you made up your mind? I can resolve the issues here for you. You can go back...”
“No, Abbott,” Amanda interrupted him, “I’ve made the mistake, Why should I leave you to resolve the issues for me? I’m a grownup now. I can resolve them on my own.”
Abbott stared at her expressionlessly for a few seconds.
Under his gaze, Amanda was a bit uneasy.
“Yes, Abbott?”
Abbott stood up and took out a USB drive from the cabinet with the lock. He walked over and gave it to her.
Amanda reached out and took it. She asked, “What’s this?”
“Take a look at yourself.” Abbott pushed the laptop in front of her.
She was confused. Inserting the USB drive into the laptop, she opened the file.
Soon, Amanda saw the video clip. She widened her eyes.
“Isn’t this...”
In the video, she saw the scene when Lindsay kidnapped her from the villa.
“Why did you have it?” asked Amanda.
“After knowing something happened to you, we were a bit late when rushing over. Fortunately, you were rescued and you asked someone to change the dead’s DNA report to fake death. However, the person you asked didn’t have any background or network. He couldn’t do it for you at all.”
Indeed, Amanda also knew that Casimir couldn’t cover the whole incident without any trace so that he could deceive Stanford.
She didn’t realize it until later.
“By the way, I heard a man and a woman were killed in the fire. What happened, Abbott?”
“The two men who kidnapped you were said to be a man and a woman instead. One of them was used to cover your identity.” As Abbott spoke, he still could recall how terrible Matthew looked at that time. He had been working for Matthew for almost all his life and had seen Matthew’s different sides.
However, that was the only time when Matthew wanted to kill someone without any care.
As for the fire, it was because Matthew also wanted them to experience being burned.
“We didn’t do anything to that woman also because of you.” Abbott took a sip of the water.
After the incident happened to Amanda, they had done a lot of things. They covered the truth that she hadn’t died, found out the evidence that she was set up, contacted the hospital for her, and helped her enter RM Group.
They had known who Stanford was quite a long time ago, and they warned Amanda several times. However, their conversations always ended quite unhappily. Amanda didn’t want to listen to them, refusing to talk to them.
Later, they realized that she truly loved Stanford so much that she could care about nothing else.
