As soon as she dialed it, the phone was picked up. Maggie said leisurely, "Hello, what's wrong with
you?"
A variety show's voice came from the other end of the line. Amanda let out a sigh of relief. "I thought
you couldn't resist it. You were dragged to the desert. "
Maggie said proudly, "I'm Maggie. Does he dare to control me? "Hey, Henry. Peel the apple for me."
"Maggie, I'm a little confused. What are you doing? "Amanda said.
Maggie seemed to think of something and was overjoyed. "I'm so boring now. If you have time, come to
see me. But don't go to my home. Just come here. Where is it?"
"West mount Lake Zhao's house." One man said in a depressed voice.
Maggie said, "Did you hear that? Just come here to find me."
"Where is it?" "How did you move there? Do you want to take the desert? How about your apartment?
Are you used to living there? Do you want to come to my house? "
Maggie replied, "No, it's you who care about me. I'm fine. I didn't escape. I was invited to this residence
by a lot of people, not to mention the food and accommodation. I'm so happy to see that bastard
massage my shoulders and legs every day. It's more comfortable than eating and sleeping well at
home. I won't give up on this. "
There was a sinister smile on Maggie's face. She hung up the phone.
"What's wrong with the world?" Amanda wondered. She couldn't help shivering. She turned to look at
Lionel and asked, "Was she the woman who used to be desperate? "
With a faint smile at the corners of his mouth, he answered, "the world is always so amazing. There are
many more amazing things in the world."
"What?" Suddenly, a cold thing covered her lips and quickly left like a dragonfly skimming the surface
of the water. She covered her mouth and stared at the man in front of her blankly.
Lionel, however, heaved a sigh of relief and said happily, "sit down. I'll speed up."
Lowering her head in the passenger seat, she didn't know what to say. The thought of the aggressive
kisses made her heart sink.
"Are you unhappy?" "Did I act abruptly?" he asked, having noticed her nervousness.
"No, I'm happy." She seemed to be defending herself.
Looking at her, he asked seriously, "really?"
"I... I'm just surprised," she explained, a little blushed.
"Why?" A smile slowly appeared in his eyes.
"We are almost at our destination." Amanda said quickly.
"Hello, this way please." The waiter led them into a private room and they went inside. Amanda was
shocked to see Shirley sitting inside with Mr. Gerry and Mrs. Colleen. Seeing that, Lionel drew her to sit
down and said, "uncle, auntie, you don't have to be so polite. Please sit down."
"brother." Shirley reminded him in his arms.
Lionel smiled and said, "Shirley, you are a good girl."
Mr. Gerry smiled and said, "I've been thinking about asking you out for dinner. But your secretary said
you were busy, so we didn't want to bother you. I'm sorry to ask you out."
Mr. Lionel sat aside with a straight face.
But she didn't reply, her eyes fixed on Lionel.
The man smiled sheepishly at her and replied, "I called you here because I want to say, a good foe is
better than an evil. Let's talk about it at the table."
Amanda looked at him and her heart slowly sank. She looked at Mr. Gerry and said politely, "Mr. Gerry,
It's not that I don't want to meet you. In fact, it's not that I don't want to save your face, but it's not
convenient for me to deal with these things. You know, as a junior, how can we intervene in the elders'
business?"
Mr. Gerry smiled, "In fact, I can understand you. My wife also lost her mind at that time, but the elder
cared about the relationship between you and her. It's not necessary for you to make a fuss about this,
after all?" "Shirley, make an apology for sister."
Shirley walked to Amanda and said, "It was my entire fault. Please forgive me."
"You don't have to apologize to me. I'm not mad at you. Perhaps I was angry with you, but now I'm not
angry anymore. Let bygones be bygones, "she added.
Shirley immediately ran back to Mrs. Colleen.
Mr. Gerry raised his glass and said, "Mrs. Amanda is really a generous man. No wonder Nicholas paid
so much attention to you. That's all right. It's not a big deal. Let's drink. Let's forget the past. "
"Mr. Gerry, you misunderstood me. I don't mind what happened, and I'm not angry. So, I can't interfere
in what grandpa does. It's out of my control." Amanda said.
Mr. Gerry's hand stopped in the air, and Mrs. Colleen couldn't help but slap on the table and said,
"What do you want to do? Show off our respect to you? Is that enough? When you were in the Cheng
family, who do you think you are? Your uncle was nothing to me. Now you marry the An family because
of your fame. You really think highly of yourself. "
"Clap." The slap fell on her face. Mrs. Colleen was stunned. She covered her face and looked at Mr.
Gerry with tears in her eyes, "you, you slapped me. "
"Don't hit my mother. Don't hit my mother." Shirley cried.
Mr. Gerry's face wreathed in pain. "Do you want to make things worse?" After saying that, he stood up
and bowed to Amanda. Then he said sincerely, "Miss Amanda, it's all my wife and daughter's fault. I
apologize to you on behalf of them. I hope you can forgive me. I will discipline them seriously when I go
back. My wife didn't mean to offend you. Please don't take it to heart."
Lionel said, "We just came out to have a meal. Why did you behave like this? How could Amanda have
a good meal? "
"I have something else to do, so I won't stay here." Then Amanda took her bag, turned around and
walked away. At the door, Lionel finally caught up with her. Holding her hand, he asked, "Amanda, what
are you doing?"
"I wanted to ask you, too. What are you doing? "
"Do you know that Nicholas withdrew his investment?" The man replied.
I'm serious. I can't change Nicholas' decision. "
"But this decision of Nicholas has a great impact on the Lin group. You know that the financial media
have a very good sense of smell. In fact, they don't need you to do anything. As long as you have
dinner with them and take a public activity, we can let the media see that the two families are
harmonious, and that's all. You just need to stand out." Lionel said sincerely.
