Chapter 20 I’d Let It Go For the Project
This time, not only the three members of the Sean Family but also Amanda was stunned.
“I don’t like to say the same thing twice.”
A cold voice came from Iverson’s thin lips.
Halley finally came to his senses and said, “You… you…”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
He gnashed his teeth but couldn’t say the word “adultery.”
Any man, even if he didn’t love his wife, couldn’t accept his woman cuckolding him. This was related to the dignity of a man.
Halley’s face turned green.
Mrs. Elder Sean understood what was going on as well. “All right, her secret lover had come here bluntly. Is there any justice left in this world? It was only because she could not give birth to a child! What sin has our Sean Family committed?”
Every word was insulting in the air.
Amanda was about to step forward when Iverson stopped her.
“Jamie, take Amanda to the car first.”
The assistant understood and said respectfully to Amanda, “Miss Jewell, please.”
Amanda didn’t want anything more to do with anyone in the Sean Family, so she left immediately.
Seeing that Amanda had gotten into Iverson’s car, Halley became anxious.
“What sort of place do you take my home to be?”
Even though Halley didn’t dare to provoke Iverson, he was still furious. “Mr. Byran, I respect you and the Byran Group, but you can’t bully me like this, can you? If word gets out that you took my wife away in front of me, what will happen to the Sean Family?”
“Mr. Sean wants to talk about self-esteem with me? Then let’s have a good talk.”
As soon as Amanda left, Iverson’s face turned much expressionlessly. He glanced at Halley’s angry face.
Halley suddenly shivered.
In the car, Jamie said, “Miss Jewell, don’t worry. Mr. Byran will take care of everything.”
Amanda didn’t say anything. She looked out the window at the figure outside the Sean Family’s villa.
She couldn’t remember how she had fallen in love with Halley then. The man facing Iverson was weak, selfish, and incompetent…
Before long, Iverson was in the car.
“Start driving.”
“Yes, Mr. Byran.”
The black car went back the way it came. The whole morning’s tossing and turning felt as long as a century.
Amanda asked, “What had you told them?”
“I’m just telling them that only one manager is admitted in charge of the contract between the Byran Group and the Sean Group.”
Faced with Iverson’s calmness, Amanda was stunned at first, but then she came to her senses and laughed.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Doesn’t the Sean Family think that I had cuckolded Halley? Will they just let go of a project and sell me off? Does it mean that in the eyes of rich people like you, everything can be marked clearly?”
Iverson frowned.
Before he could say anything, Amanda turned to look out of the window.
“Mr. Byran, please drop me off at the hotel entrance later.”
“Well, you’d better have a rest.”
Iverson did not try to defend himself.
Amanda was like a hedgehog and probably wouldn’t listen to anything at this moment.
“Thanks.”
Amanda felt weak all over. She leaned against the back of the chair and watched the tall buildings outside retreat quickly with a dull look in her eyes.
She graduated from Ducco University. As soon as she graduated, she entered the Sean Group and married Halley. In the eyes of the people around her, she seemed to have reached the top in one night. However, only she knew how hard it was for her. In the past few years, even her friends in college had ostracized her one by one.
The car drove steadily, and the two people in the back seat were reflected in the rearview mirror.
Amanda was asleep, and she was dressed in Iverson’s suit.
Jamie tried his best to calm himself down, but he couldn’t hide the shock in his heart. He had never seen Mr. Byran pay so much attention to anyone. Moreover, Mr. Byran has mysophobia. He even covered Amanda with his coat…
“Mr. Byran, the hotel is just ahead. Shall we park the car and wake Miss Jewell up?”
“Turn around again.”
Iverson’s calm voice echoed in the car.
Jamie paused and drove the car on the belt highway.
Amanda felt that she had slept for a long time. When she woke up, the car was still driving.
“Still not arrive?”
She glanced at the time and asked in surprise, “It’s already two o’clock?”
Wasn’t it only eleven o’clock when she left the Sean Family? Why had she slept for two hours and the car hadn’t arrived at the hotel yet?
Iverson said calmly, “There’s a traffic jam.”
Hearing this, the corners of Jamie’s mouth, who was driving, twitched.
Although there were traffic jams all year round in Ducco, it was not rush hour.
However, Amanda’s brain was still muddled at the moment, so she didn’t think much of it and nodded.
“Stay in the hotel for a while. Call me if you need anything.”
Before getting out of the car, Iverson instructed Amanda.
Amanda paused for a moment before nodding politely. “Thank you.”
Iverson had informed the hotel staff. Although Amanda went in alone, as soon as he showed her ID card, the manager came to receive her personally and sent her to the room.
In the room.
Amanda opened the curtains, and opposite the window was Hunton Park. The scenery was excellent and lush. It was rare to have such a wide view in the city center of Ducco.
Opposite the Hunton Park…
It was the Byran Group’s building two streets away from the hotel.
Jamie knocked on the door and entered the office with the latest news. “Mr. Byran, we’ve found out what happened this morning. It’s the latest photo that Wonder Entertainment posted. Still, their chief editor said that he received an anonymous letter and can’t find out who sent it.”
As he spoke, Jamie placed the original photo on the desk. “Here it is.”
Flipping through the photos, Iverson’s face was as calm as still water. “Cautious enough.”
