Chapter 1063 Reaching a Partnership
Atwood had just come out of Stanford's office when his mobile phone rang. He picked it up, and it was Hilary's angry voice coming over from the other side.
He looked towards the door as if he was trying to see Stanford's upset look through the thick wooden door.
Even if he didn't remember Amanda, he still had mood swings because of her.
Perhaps he was wrong to let him remember Amanda.
He must help Stanford get Amanda back.
"I'll be right there." He walked out quickly.
Soon the lift stopped, and he arrived downstairs. Hilary was standing in the lobby when she heard the lift open and turned her head to look over.
"Ms. Lucien," Atwood strode over.
She was in such a hurry to call him. Perhaps she had seen Amanda.
"Is that woman here to make up with Stanford?" Hilary wrapped her arms around her chest, looking disdainful.
Atwood nodded.
She was used to being flattered and had never looked down upon. She had never failed to get what she liked.
Amanda had apparently looked down upon her just now.
This made her feel discomforted inside.
"Shameless!" Hilary said with hatred.
Atwood looked at her and thought to himself, 'How can a young lady like her speak like a shrew, with no modesty.'
"I have an idea..." Atwood looked at Hilary, "But you have to come forward. You know I'm with Stanford and he will fire me if he finds out."
"What idea?" Hilary was half-hearted. After all, she had made a big fool of herself at the hotel last time.
Although it was her idea last time, the blunder was caused by Atwood not doing a good job on his part, which made her embarrassed in front of the crowd.
"But you have to think it over." Atwood was thinking about the feasibility of this plan of his.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt it was. And when it was implemented, Amanda would definitely be moved and therefore make up with Stanford. By then, he would have helped Stanford.
"What do I have to be afraid of? I've never lost growing up." Hilary tilted her head, fearing nothing.
"Okay." Atwood said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's find a place to discuss. We have to do everything right this time."
Seeing that he was so confident, Hilary was feeling smug inside. Even Stanford's men were now looking out for her, so what was that ex-girlfriend of Stanford's? They found a quiet place to discuss the plan in detail.
When they agreed on the plan, they reached a partnership.
The two split up.
When Hilary got up to leave, she was proud and said, "If this plan is successful and I can succeed in getting rid of Amanda, I'll treat you well."
Atwood only raised the corner of his lips and said nothing.
However, at this time, Amanda had already gone out with Jessica.
She planned to leave tomorrow. Jessica had not been in good spirits for the past two days and wanted to take her back to recover well.
She had taken her to see all that she wanted to see, and there was nothing to regret.
"Are you coming with us, or are you booking a flight straight back to Thailand?" She asked.
Joan said that he was going straight back as there was something there for him to take care of.
"I'll book your flight tonight."
"No need..."
"I'll book it for you." Amanda said sincerely, "You've helped me a lot. Just consider it my thanks to you."
Joan didn't refuse.
Jessica suddenly said she wanted to eat red bean pudding. Amanda looked around and found a dessert shop across the street, which should be able to buy that. She looked at Joan, "You keep an eye on Grandma for me, I'll go to buy it."
"It's better if I go," Joan said that the dessert shop was across the road, and there were a lot of vehicles at this hour.
"Alright then." Amanda helped Jessica to sit on the edge of the pond, "Thank you."
Joan said you're welcome then walked towards the opposite side of the road.
Just as Joan reached the opposite side of the road, a silver van suddenly stopped.
A few men got out of it and came up to seize them without saying anything.
"What are you doing?" Amanda shielded Jessica behind her and frowned at them.
"Are you Amanda Nelson?" The man in the lead asked.
Amanda didn't say a word and didn't admit it.
The man took out his phone and looked at the photo, saying, "We know it's you even if you don't say anything."
After saying that, he ordered his men to arrest her. If it was only Amanda here, she could probably run away, but Jessica was old and no way she could escape with her at the moment.
In desperation, she could only call for help towards Joan, "Joan! Joan... um..."
Joan was coming out from buying red bean pudding when he saw Amanda being covered and shoved into the van. He immediately ran over.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
