The First Son's Revenge 76
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

Five bodyguards were seen standing in front of Reid's office, while five other bodyguards stood in the lobby, just in case there were strangers or suspicious people.All this was on the initiative of Charles Brown, Reid's personal assistant.When he found out that his young master had had another accident, Charles immediately felt guilty. He shouldn't have let his young master go alone to the restaurant to meet Amanda, even if it was on Reid's own orders.Reid himself asked Charles and his other subordinates not to follow him. Reid said he felt uncomfortable if he had to bring a lot of bodyguards to a public place. Charles Brown had no other choice but to obey Reid's orders. And Charles immediately regretted it when a few hours later he got a call from Reid saying that Reid and Amanda had an accident in the park.Charles wouldn't be able to forgive himself if something untoward happened to the young master. All this is because of Mr. Jacob's will.This will was not written in the wil

“Are you sure what you heard was true?" Raynold asked again.Harry nodded quickly. “I'm very sure, dad. I myself heard that tonight Reid will be invited to dinner at the Waverly family's house, and Amanda will accompany Reid so that Reid doesn't need to bring as many bodyguards anymore," answered Harry."But if we hurt Reid tonight, that means Amanda will be hurt too. Amanda is not our target," commented Brian."You are wrong. Now Amanda has become our target too. She helps Reid too often so her presence could also be a threat to us," argued Harry.Brian narrowed his eyes, not believing his brother's words straight away."Is that true, dad?" Brian asked as he turned to look at his father. Harry also looked at his father.Raynold did not answer immediately. He thought hard about how to determine his attitude. On the one hand, he was afraid of causing trouble with the Waverly family who had many connections.But on the other hand, he is also sick of seeing his plans keep failing because
