Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 940

Amanda laughed, amused by Gerben’s 180-degree change in attitude.

Gerben laughed along, but he thought in his heart, ‘Offend anyone except a woman. They are ruthless and show no mercy.’

In the hospital…

Stanford was utterly awake the following afternoon.

Atwood was by his side the whole time.

However, he looked around as soon as he woke up. He was upset not seeing Amanda here, “Didn’t she come?”

Atwood froze for a moment but soon realized who he was referring to.

“She hasn’t been here.”

Stanford sat up, looked outside the window and said faintly, “Help me get discharged from the hospital.”

Atwood hesitated and said, “Before you leave the hospital, you’d better read this news.”

Stanford looked at him, probably knowing what he was talking about. He took his phone and saw that it was the news of his stay at the hotel.

The headline read, “J&Y Group Boss Having Threesome at The Hotel”, with a picture of two unclothed women in the room.

Just the headline was already highly suggestive.

The article’s description even made people think of an erotic bed scene just by reading the text.

Many of the comments said that “Never judge a book by its cover.”

Stanford’s previous image was a tall, upright, and aloof ascetic man, but this news had pulled him down.

This was not a big deal. The main thing was that Stanford’s news had caused the company’s stock to fluctuate and had a tendency to fall.

Stanford was expressionless. ‘Perhaps this was her purpose.’

“I received a call from Ms. Flores today. She said that there is still a final amount of money needed to be invested in the acquisition.” Atwood looked at him, “We’ve lost too much this time.”

Stanford lifted the blanket and got up. He was not sad about the loss of his money and said, “I owe her that.”

Atwood opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that nothing could be persuaded.

“How’s the matter I asked you to look into?” He stared blankly into the distance outside the window.

Atwood pursed his lips and didn’t say honestly that he was actually almost done with his investigation. It wasn’t easy to find out about something so long ago, but Abbott was leading him and giving him some clues occasionally.

He had deliberately been discovered by Stanford because he wanted him to find out the real cause of that car accident.

Not wanting him to hate the wrong person.

Stanford thought the Nelson family was wrong. He thought the money back then was to save their lives, when in fact, those were compensation for them. Everyone in that crash was innocent!

He shouldn’t be distorted to hate those who survived that crash.

He shouldn’t have been vindictive because of what happened in the first place.

Abbott just wanted him to see it clearly.

That was why he planned all this.

And that was why it wasn’t tricky for Atwood to investigate.

However, he hadn’t figured out how to tell Stanford now.

“It’s a long time ago, so it’s not easy to investigate.” Atwood lied.

Stanford didn’t suspect anything. After all, he knew that it would indeed take time to investigate something that had been so long ago.

He said again, “Get me out of the hospital and bring me a set of clean clothes.”

Atwood agreed and exited the room.

After Stanford was discharged from the hospital, he didn’t go to the company to deal with his accumulated work over the past few days but went to find Amanda.

Since they had brought the issue out, he wanted to talk with her.

However, Amanda was not at the hotel.

Her phone was turned off, and Stanford couldn’t find her. Soon, he had to go back to the company to deal with his work.

Gerben went to J&Y Group.

Stanford knew he was close to Amanda and so met him.
