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
Brian and Harry looked at each other. Without needing to say anything, they both understood what had to be done.The two of them immediately grabbed the necks of fake Reid and Amanda, then cocked the gun at their heads. Making the two fake figures prisoners.“Retreat! Or I'll shoot him!” Harry exclaimed.The police ofcourse did not want to act rashly, so they withdrew according to the request of the masked perpetrator. Even though the person being held hostage was not the CEO of the real Arison company, it was impossible for the police to ignore the safety of the two civilians being held hostage.Harry smiled crookedly. However, both of them are currently wearing masks, so their identities are not yet known. As long as they can escape from this place, everything will be safe. Just planning another plan for Reid. Harry was optimistic that they could escape from this place.Damn Reid. How could Reid pull this kind of trick? How could Reid use someone else to switch roles with him and Am
Harry froze in place seeing his brother lying covered in blood.Stupid! Why did Brian have to run towards him? Why didn't Brian run away? Why did Brian let himself get shot to protect Harry?Harry wanted to swear and curse at Brian's actions right now, but he couldn't. Not a single word came out of his mouth.Harry just froze in place. Likewise, when the police approached and handcuffed his hands, Harry remained silent while still staring at Brian's lying body, which didn't move at all.That night Brian died.***"Impossible! There's no way my son is dead. This is all definitely a lie. Impossible!"Megan Clark was hysterical when she heard the news about Brian's death. Especially when she heard that Brian's death was caused by a bullet fired by the police after Brian and Harry had planned to kill Reid Arison and Amanda Waverly.“Darling, tell me this isn't true. There's no way Brian died and Harry was arrested by the police!" Megan exclaimed again, this time to her husband, Raynold.I
