She didn't know where they were going. Road lamps were all around them; cars were whistling; she couldn't find a direction. However, she ran after him without hesitation, as if she was chasing a crazy dream.
At the sight of the bright light, Amanda got tears in her eyes and slowed down.
"Don't you want to see Sheryl?" Lionel turned back, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
Amanda didn't go into the ward. She said, "I don't have the face to see Sheryl now. I don't know what to say to him? He doesn't want to hear the infighting and I don't want to tell him either."
"Do you think this is not suitable for him to hear?"
Amanda nodded with a guilty look in her eyes, "Sheryl is just a kid."
Lionel nodded and they sat by the lake for a while.
"I'm really a bad sister. I can't even protect my brother." As Amanda spoke, a gust of wind came, blowing away the dust on her memory that had sealed up her heart, "At that time, I didn't know anything. Suddenly, someone told me that my parents died and my younger brother almost died. As long as I signed the agreement, my younger brother could come to life. Then I signed it directly. Later I learned that it was a guardian confirmation letter and stock share transfer agreement. My father's personal lawyer, Lawyer Sun, had already been in collusion with my uncle, who forced me using Sheryl as excuse to leave here and live abroad. I have been away for ten years."
Lionel said, "Haven't you come back in the past ten years?"
"No, they didn't allow me to come back. There was an assistant looking after me there. My ID card and passport were controlled by someone else so I could only stay there. The only thing that could comfort me was that they took a video of Sheryl on his birthday every year and told me that Sheryl was fine. They told me not to worry about him." Tears welled up again when Amanda thought of the old days. She couldn't continue. She bowed her head and sobbed. What she saw was all fake. Last time at Cheng family, Susie made it clear that because she was not in, they could bully Sheryl as they wanted to vent their anger.
What did Sheryl suffer when she was out of sight?
He reached out and held Amanda in her arms. As Amanda rested her head on a warm and strong chest, the sadness in her heart immediately gave out. Her sadness turned into a wail. She had nowhere to cry now. She was under surveillance abroad, and when she came back home, she was married to a demon who looked down upon her both physically and mentally. She had no one to rely on in her family, but she had to deal with them.
"You'll feel much better after you cried. At least, you are much better now. With this position, no one will be so stupid to hurt you for the time being." When she stopped crying, Lionel patted her on the shoulder and said.
Then Amanda asked, "Why did Nicholas ask me to be the vice president? I know nothing. I married him just for the cooperation between Cheng family and An family."
"He has to give you a springboard. As far as I know, An Group is planning to cooperate with Cheng Group for a group of buildings. The program has just been through the preliminary planning. The person in charge of the project needs to be one from Cheng Group in the future. As the connection of An Group and Cheng Group's marriage, you won't have much requirements from either side of the project. But before that, you have to learn how to deal with it, so that you can let your employees trust you." Lionel replied.
Amanda nodded, "I see." She laughed at herself and thought that there was no free lunch for her. All of a sudden, Amanda came to her senses. She sat up straight and said in a low voice, "I got your clothes wet because of crying."
"And then?" Lionel asked smilingly.
