Reid was of course surprised by Amanda's presence, especially by the woman's panicked words and expression."What's wrong, Amanda?" Reid asked, frowning."You have to help me," Amanda said in a demanding tone, ignoring Reid's question.Reid's frown deepened. “Yes, but first explain to me what's wrong? What should I help you with?” Reid asked again.But the woman instead paced around Reid's room, biting the tips of her nails. She muttered—rather babbled—to herself. “How could he order me to do this? Gosh, I'm an adult. He has no right to boss me around like this.”Reid turned to Charles, giving him a questioning look, maybe his personal assistant knew what was going on.Aren't Charles and Amanda quite close? Reid knew that Amanda often complained and even talked about himself to Charles. If it weren't for Amanda's enormous service, Reid would have reprimanded her. How can a subordinate gossip about her boss—especially out loud—in front of the boss himself? It's outrageous.But Charles

Meanwhile, still in the same company but in a different room, a middle-aged man was walking back and forth in his room. Several times he seemed to clench his jaw and clench his fists tightly. Emotions were running deep in his heart, but he knew for certain that he couldn't get out of control at this time at work. Especially at times like this, Raynold couldn't possibly do anything that would make himself even more suspicious.A few moments later the door to Raynold's room opened, revealing the figures of Raynold's two sons, Harry and Brian."What's wrong, dad?" Harry asked after closing the room door tightly. Brian had walked ahead and taken a seat across from his father's work desk which was currently empty because the owner was still pacing around unable to sit."Are you sure last night's incident didn't leave any evidence that shows you were the perpetrator?" Raynold asked Harry, his voice sounding anxious.“You don't need to worry, dad. I've been very careful," said Harry."Yes, v

Reid stepped towards Amanda's table. Previously, Amanda had sent a message to Reid, telling him what table number she had. So when the restaurant waiter greeted Reid at the door and asked if Reid had made a reservation, Reid nodded and said Amanda's table number."Table number 17, in the name of Miss Waverly and Mr. Cooper," said the waiter with a frown. “Did you say the table number wrong? Mr. Cooper was here earlier, so you....”Reid nodded with a smile. “I'm not Mr. Cooper. You could say I'm a friend who came to greet them," replied Reid."Oh."After that, the waiter took Reid to table number 17 which was located on the roof, near the balcony.Reid could already see Amanda's figure from afar. The female employee wore a white long-sleeved shirt with a crop top and a matching skirt that hugged her long legs. The suit has a floral pattern that covers the entire surface of the shirt and skirt.Reid has to admit, Amanda's current appearance is indeed beautiful. That doesn't mean that Am

"Tell me this is a joke," Amanda wanted to say to Reid. That Reid's words just now were just the man's revenge to her because he had been told to pretend to be her boyriend. Surely Reid was just annoyed so he joked—outrageously.However, Amanda could see that Reid's expression was not joking at this time. The man's expression was very tense and his foot stepped on the brake pedal several times, but the car they were in did not slow down at all, continuing to move at the same speed.Reid concentrated completely on the steering wheel. Because currently the brake pedal isn't working, it means Reid has to control the steering wheel rotation properly. If a car slows down in front of him, he must immediately turn so as not to hit the car in front of him."Watch out!" Amanda exclaimed as the car in front of them slowed down. Reid could handle this situation easily, unfortunately another car was passing by from the front.Reid honked the horn loudly, making the driver of the car in front of h

Honestly, for Reid, the shock when their car collided with a tree wasn't as bad as he expected. It's not that Reid doesn't feel pain—Reid does. It's just that this pain is quite familiar.Does Reid often feel similar pain because he once worked in a repair shop and often used the race cars he serviced? No.Reid has always been able to drive well so he rarely has accidents at work. Even if Reid experience it, it is just a minor accident that does not cause pain.Reid is familiar with this shaking pain because since he was little, his stepmother often tortured him by hitting Reid on the head. Sometimes his ears would ring because Abigail's blows were so hard.Even since he was little, Reid knew that he had no one on his side. So if he rebelled against the harsh treatment of his stepmother—or sometimes even his stepbrother—then Reid would only get more and more beatings, no one would defend him, no one would come to save him. Reid was alone, and he had to survive, in silence.As time wen

Of course Reid didn't answer the truth. It could complicate matters if Amanda's father finds out that Reid came to Amanda and Chris's date to disrupt their date.John must have asked what Reid's reason was for doing that. And there was no way Reid could answer honestly that he was told by John's daughter directly to pretend to be her boyriend. In the end, John will think that Reid did this because he loves Amanda and doesn't want her to date another man.So what's next?It's Reid's turn to be betrothed to Amanda.Even though Reid owed Amanda a great debt of gratitude, he couldn't possibly repay her in this way.Reid was already hurt enough by being cheated on by Nancy. The wound that Nancy left in Reid's heart made Reid no longer want to have a romantic relationship. At least, not for now.So Reid immediately answered, "Just now I happened to have a business meeting with one of the clients at the same restaurant as Amanda's date. Then because our business was finished at the same time

This morning when Reid arrived at the office and opened the door to his office room, he was surprised to find that there was someone waiting for him there. Moreover, this figure, Reid doesn't think she will come to work today, even Reid himself is planning to get permission for her leave - sick leave.“Why are you coming to work? You should still be in the hospital," Reid said to Amanda.The woman wore her usual work attire, a stiff and formal suit, and minimalist make-up that emphasized her eyes.Looking at Amanda's appearance now, no one would have thought that the previous night the woman was lying in hospital. There was no trace of pain on her face. Should Reid be happy?Yes, Reid is happy. But that doesn't mean he expects his female employees to go straight to work. Even if Amanda doesn't want to stay in the hospital for long, she should at least rest at home."Are you kidding? Just last night I was locked up in that boring room, especially with my father who was very chatty lik

The previous night at the Clark family residence.Late at night when Raynold was relaxing at home, he saw his son had just come home. Raynold immediately became suspicious when he saw the wide smile full of grin on his son's lips. It's unusual for Harry, who has minimal expressions, to suddenly be this expressive.So Raynold asked where did his son come from? It was impossible for Harry to come from the office this late because since he was demoted to ordinary staff, Harry's work was automatically just trivial work that had no challenges. Raynold even asked because his youngest son often caused problems.And it turned out to be true, this time Harry again caused problems, big problems.Harry answered lightly, "I just broke the brakes on Reid's car. By now that bastard must have had a terrible accident and couldn't be helped."Raynold widened his eyes. "What did you say?!""You heard that right, Dad, I've finished cleaning up Reid with my own hands," said Harry, still with a smug smile

As Charles Brown said to Anastasia Waverly, the reason Reid Arison didn't come to the office even though he had an important meeting was because he was taking care of his sick wife.After several days of being treated in hospital, the doctor allowed Elena to go home. Apart from experiencing a miscarriage, Elena suffered an injury to her left arm. Luckily her arm didn't break any bones, so her arm didn't need to be put in a cast.Even so, the doctor said that Elena's movements over the next two weeks will definitely be limited, so as much as possible someone should help Elena in carrying out daily activities that require movement of the left arm.Reid, who heard the doctor's words, immediately agreed. "There are many servants in our house who will definitely help her," said Reid.The doctor nodded, not doubting the number of servants in the arison residence which must be countless.Arriving at Arison's residence, Reid immediately gave instructions to several female servants to serve El

Charles Brown leaned back towards Anastasia Waverly, making the woman take a step back because she felt uncomfortable with their close proximity."You are wrong. You don't know who Mr. Arison really is, so everything you say is just your shallowly knowledge about Mr. Arison," said Charles in a sarcastic voice.For the first time, Charles openly shows that he hates Anastasia Waverly.Anastasia Waverly, who is used to receiving praise, certainly does not accept being called shallowly knowledgeable. She replied, “Then what is a real Reid Arison? Is he a person of great and noble character?” Anastasia Waverly again uses a dismissive tone.Charles Brown clenched his jaw. "There's no point in me telling you. From the start you've hated Mr. Arison, so whatever I say about Mr. Arison, you won't believe it," said Charles, then he straightened his body and got up to leave."Wait!" Anastasia Waverly exclaimed while chasing Charles Brown. Because she was in a hurry, Anastasia Waverly didn't pay a

Megan widened her eyes at her daughter's words. Cold sweat started to trickle down her temples.“W-what did you say? I conspired with Harry to harm you? Gosh, Elena, I'm your real mother, how could I do something like that! Just because now you are the wife of a rich Arison, you can be as impudent as you want to be with your mother!" Megan shouted angrily.But instead of feeling guilty about being scolded like that by her mother, Elena just chuckled softly. “Mom, after years of being your child, I know how you lie. You always cover it up by getting angry and shouting louder—like now.”Megan widened her eyes. Her hands were clenched in anger. Why did the situation turn out like this? Where's Elena, her daughter who is usually very easily influenced? Why is Elena suddenly so defiant like this? Ah, damn it, why didn't everything go according to her plans with Harry?Annoyed by feeling cornered, Megan again raised her hand to hit Elena, but this time, even without Reid's help, Elena herse

When Elena woke up, memories immediately flooded her.She remembered what happened before everything went dark. A car speeding behind her, a loud crash that shook her, and darkness that dragged her along.All these memories made Elena's body jolt and open her eyes.Elena was immediately greeted by pain all over her body. Elena wasn't even sure whether she could move her arm, whether it was because she was weak and didn't have the strength or something else, Elena wasn't sure. But one thing she was sure of, she felt her stomach was empty.“What happened to my baby?” Elena asked directly. She saw Reid's figure sitting in a chair next to her bed.Reid didn't respond with words. The man just shook his head slightly with an expression full of sorrow.Without needing to explain further, Elena already understood what he meant. Their baby did not survive.Elena immediately closed her eyes. Tears fell down her cheeks. Sobs escaped her lips, until then her body shook from the flood of thunderou

Hearing Harry's words made Megan smile. She also wants Reid destroyed. But one thought disturbed her."But don't you think that the child Elena is carrying could be our access to Arison's wealth? In other words, Elena is now pregnant with the future heir to the Arison family. Wouldn't it be more profitable for us to let the baby live?" said Megan. She is fed up with living “simplely” since her husband's death. She wants to return to life filled with wealth, even with much more wealth than before. And Megan thinks one of the quickest ways to get rich is to control Arison's property.But Harry just snorted.“You don't need to think about Arison's assets anymore, mom. I already know how to get a lot of money without any effort," said Harry with a meaningful smile.Megan widened her eyes with interest. "Really?""Of course," said Harry with a smug smile. “Now my only goal is to take revenge on Reid. I will make him suffer for the death of Brian and father," said Harry in a determined ton

Elena paced back and forth in front of Reid's study door, still considering whether she should come in or not.She had intended to apologize to Reid, but after hearing Charles' conversation in the kitchen, Elena felt even more guilty towards Reid. And that made her not dare to go in to meet the man, even though she had to go in, right?“Charles, what are you hanging around there for? Come in!" Reid's voice shouted from inside the room, making Elena jump in surprise.Reid must have seen the shadow of her feet on the door and thought she was his personal assistant.Because her whereabouts were already known—even though it was false—it made Elena feel like she had no choice to back out. Elena opened the door to Reid's study slowly.Reid seemed to be leaning back in his work chair with his eyes closed. Elena was sure Reid wasn't asleep yet because the man had just spoken."Get the files on the table," Reid ordered, still closing his eyes.Elena blinked. So Reid still thinks she is Charles

The next morningA head chef was seen serving special food to a long table in the dining room. There were so many kinds of dishes on the table that people who saw it would definitely think that there was a grand banquet in this house. Unfortunately no.Only one person will eat at the dining table, namely the head of the house, Reid Arison.Yes, this is the Arison residence. And the head chef on duty was none other than Belinda Caleste, the maid who was once Reid's spy who was stationed at Clark's residence.After being fired from the Clark residence by Elena, of course Belinda returned to the Arison residence, where she originally worked. In that place, Belinda's position was head chef.“The food is delicious, as usual. Thank you, Belinda," said Reid, who had just eaten the food Belinda made.Belinda smiled. Then the fertile woman said, “Should I call Mrs. Elena is here? I'm sure this food will taste better if eaten together.” Belinda felt sad about the various kinds of food that she

The news about Reid dropping the charges against Harry Clark also reached the ears of the Waverly family. John Waverly and his daughter, Anastasia Waverly, became furious when they heard this. Moreover, they knew that the murder planned by Brian and Harry was not only to harm Reid but also Amanda - even though at that time the plan failed because Amanda had hired people to pretend to be her and Reid. That automatically makes Harry an enemy of the Waverly family too.John and Anastasia could immediately guess why Reid wanted to free Harry, it must be because Reid had just married Elena, Raynold Clark's youngest daughter. Automatically Reid is now also part of the Clark family.“Dad, this can't be left like that. Reid could have freed that criminal just because he married into one of the Clark family!" Anastasia exclaimed with suppressed annoyance. Her white cheeks turned red.Amanda's twin sister was pacing back and forth in her father's study.Usually at times like this when his daug

The divorce between Daniel and Abigail happened quickly.As soon as Abigail found her son—who apparently chose to check in at a five-star hotel—Abigail returned to her house and apologized to Daniel.However, no matter how serious Abigail apologized, Daniel was unanimous in his decision. He wants a divorce."Besides, our relationship recently has not been good," said Daniel briefly.Abigail was stunned to hear that.After going through a series of processes in court, Daniel and Abigail are now officially divorced. The two of them are no longer husband and wife. Abigail moved to her parents' house again.Because since marrying Daniel, Abigail has never worked and only socializes with her friends, she really doesn't have any income, she also doesn't have any special abilities.Fortunately, Abigail's parents really love her and want to accommodate her, as well as accommodate Liam.Liam couldn't stay too long in a hotel—even if he wanted to—because the cost of staying at the hotel Liam ch
