Devil President's Night Bride novel Chapter 10

The more Amanda thought about it, the more confused she became, "Why?" she asked.

Why? He didn't know why. Maybe he was crazy.

I've never seen a girl so real and strong. Thinking of Amanda running in the sun and spreading out the flyers, a faint smile crept onto her face; thinking of her falling asleep at the table side; thinking of her running out of the dark storage room.

Lionel replied with a smile, "Because I want to."

Amanda lowered her head. The doctor cleaned the wound with alcohol. The wound made her shrank with pain, but she didn't scream. After the treatment, the doctor told her not to get wet. Lionel frowned and asked, "Are you used to living there?"

"What?" Amanda asked surprisingly, raising her head.

"The wounds need to be carefully healed these days. If you don't want to live there, I can arrange..."

"It's okay." Amanda interrupted immediately, "I'm fine." She lowered her eyes. She was Mrs. An, and it was improper for her to move out. She didn't want to have a quarrel with Darren because of this. Then, Amanda's phone rang, and from the phone came the angry voice of Aunt Li, "Amanda, come home right now."

"What happened?" The phone was hung up, Amanda looked at it in astonishment.

"What's wrong?" Sitting next to her, Lionel could hear the woman's roar on the phone.

"It was my aunt, I didn't know what happened. She just wanted me to go back to Cheng family as soon as possible." Amanda was about to rush out, Lionel grabbed her hand and said, "Don't run around. I'll drive you there."

Amanda looked at him and said in a low voice, "I don't know why, but I'm a little scared."

It was the first time that she had shown such a panic expression in front of him. Lionel's heart softened and he consoled her, "Don't be afraid. I'm here, and nothing will happen."

When Lionel drove the car to Cheng family, Amanda asked him to wait at the gate. For some reason, Amanda didn't want Lionel to see her awkward situation in Cheng family. No matter how confident she was in front of Lionel, she would lose her self-esteem once she entered Cheng family.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Susie stood up from the sofa and shouted at her, "Amanda, look at what you have done! How did you offend Mr. Darren? Now he is going to withdraw the investment from my father's new project. Do you know how much influence it will have on us?"

Mrs. Li was also angry. She stood up, grabbed Amanda's hand and scolded, "You damn girl! Didn't I tell you to pacify Mr. Darren? Did you put on a poker face again? I'm telling you, if Mr. Darren withdrew his investment, I won't let you go!"

"Yeah, Amanda. How could you ungrateful bastard, keep torturing us since we had brought you up for more than ten years?" Cousin Charles was too angry that his eyes turned red. This case was his responsibility. An hour ago, the Secretary of Mr. Darren called to withdraw the investment, but Charles couldn't get in touch with Mr. Darren no matter how many times he contacted. Thinking for a while, he thought it must be Amanda who irritated Mr. Darren.
