Chapter 122 Let’s Get Married, Amanda

It was 4.00PM when Simon was sitting on his bed waiting for a phone call. He had not slept at a wink throughout the night.

Suddenly, his phone rang, and a confident smile crept up his face. At expected, Grace was probably feeling utterly tormented throughout the night before she finally decided to call him

So, he picked up the phone and started the recording Miss Murphy”

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds. “How did you know it me

“Because I feel the same way as you do and couldn’t rest until I’ve received the answer I want. Im afraid that Amanda and Elias will mend their relationship. Then, all my hard work for the past four years will go down the drain.”

“Fine. Tell me, then. How are we going to destroy the evidence in her hands?

She finally admits to her wrongdoings. Simon felt his smile widen. “You’re going to pretend to apologize to Amanda and beg her to not post the evidence online. I’ll act as if I was going to ask her about work while you start a fight with her. Then, I’ll pull Amanda away and you can run upstairs to look for the thumb drive. I remember that she hid it in the study. I’ll try my best to stall for time. Once you find it, destroy it immediately. She might have a copy somewhere as well. So, you need to find that and delete any evidence Amanda might have.”

“Okay. Sure. I’ll head over in the morning. You should get ready, then.

“Miss Murphy, remember that you are an actor. So, you have to stay in character and can’t let Amanda see through your schemes. She’s very vigilant now and nobody can go near her study, especially during such a crucial point of time. Also. I don’t have to remind you that no one else can know about our little arrangement, do I?”

On the other end of the phone, Grace wholeheartedly believed Simon. “Of course, I know that. But have you seen that video? Is it bad for me?”

I got you. Simon tried to suppress the glee in his voice as he explained, “Yes. I’ve seen it. It’s not looking good for you. She’s only seen slapping you in the video and she isn’t anywhere near the knife. The timestamp is also pretty clear that your face was fine before she left. But your face was cut 10 minutes after she was gone. So, if this video was leaked, it’s enough to refute your claims.”

Then, get on with it. We’ll move when the sun rises. I can’t wait any longer. That video can’t be posted, or else my life will be utterly ruined!”

“Okay. Give me a call before you head out. I’ll make sure to cooperate with you.”

After Simon ended the call, he checked the phone call recording and got up to walk to the study.

 

The two foxes that had their schemes to execute weren’t the only ones unable to sleep as Amanda was also unable to fall into slumber. Regardless, she started to feel sleepy when it was close to sunrise and slept for two hours before Selina’s shout caused her to jolt awake from her

impromptu nap.

Amanda! Amanda!”

Selina’s hurried footsteps could be heard thumping up the stairs as she started frantically knocking on Amanda’s bedroom door.

Amanda, who was still groggy, heard the knock and slowly rolled herself off her bed. After a few moments, she went to open the door with her mind still in a daze.

So, it was with half-lidded eyes that she grumbled wearily. “What’s wrong? Is Aiden refusing to wake up again?”

“No! Look at this! You’re proven innocent!” Selina was excited as she shoved the phone toward Amanda’s face, eager to show Amanda the good news.

Amanda took the phone with a confused expression and saw that it was a piece of news about Grace’s injured face.

The title wrote. The truth behind Grace Murphy’s injured face. She did it herself!’

Amanda immediately felt sober by that astounding title. She widened her eyes at it before she had the sense to scroll down to read the article.

The content of the article stated that Grace was possibly the one who cut her face and blamed it on someone else. There was even a recording of a phone call in the article.

Amanda played the recording and was dumbfounded when she heard Simon and Grace’s conversation. Huh. Would you look at that? Simon actually did it?

Now that they had the recording as proof, Grace’s words could be considered as her admitting that she deliberately disfigured herself and that she was lying. Therefore, she placed the entire blame on Amanda to ruin Amanda’s reputation.
