Chapter 46 Men Are All the Same
After Lydia left, Iverson called for his secretary.
“Mr. Byran, you call me.”NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Throw these away.”
The secretary then understood that the boss was talking about the lunch box on the table. “Yes.”
“Don’t let her come to the company without my permission in the future.”
“But Mrs. Old Byran asked Miss Ginos to come. If she asks her to come again…”
Iverson glanced at his secretary coldly and questioned, “Is the president of the Byran Group me or Mrs. Old Byran?”
The secretary broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, Jamie was back. He immediately took the secretary out after packing up, and as soon as he came out, he scolded the secretary. “Is it your first day working here? Who is in charge of the Byran Group? Don’t you know that the boss hates it the most when others use Mrs. Old Byran to suppress him?”
The secretary’s face was pale. “Jamie, but Miss Ginos said that she was childhood playmates with the boss. She has a family background and is valued by Mrs. Old Byran. Everyone guessed she would be the boss’s wife in the future…”
“She said it herself. Be careful in the future.”
Jamie said, “You don’t know who the boss’s wife is, so don’t make wild guesses.”
Meanwhile, Amanda was waiting for a taxi by the side of the road.
“Miss Jewell.”
A woman’s voice sounded out from behind her, furious, and she’d come with ill intent.
Amanda felt a headache coming on. She exhaled to calm herself down before turning around. “Miss Ginos, you came down so soon?”
“Stop pretending. What is your relationship with Iverson?”
“Mr. Byran and I?” Amanda summoned her courage and said, “You’ve misunderstood. We’re just doing business.”
“You did business on men’s thighs. Is this how you are doing business?”
Lydia was not polite at all. She stared at Amanda disdainfully and said, “No wonder some rumors about you are true. You contributed a lot to the Sean Group’s development, didn’t you?”
Amanda wanted to keep the peace, but her face darkened when she saw Lydia’s aggressive attitude.
“Miss Ginos, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want.”
“Am I wrong? You’re a married woman. How can you be so shameless? I saw you here last time. Who is Iverson? Are you worthy of him? Stop dreaming.”
“You must be dreaming, aren’t you?”
Amanda suddenly said indifferently. “If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten that you were the one who climbed onto Iverson’s thighs and got kicked out the last time.”
“You!”
“You’re saying that I’m seducing a man? You must be dreaming of seducing Iverson. Do you know what kind of woman Iverson likes?” Amanda deliberately stroked her lengthy hair, and her curvy figure attracted the attention of passersby.
She looked Lydia up and down and mocked, “You have a flat figure. No wonder you were kicked out.”
“You… you’re shameless! Shame on you!”
Lydia’s eyes widened. It was the first time someone mocked her for having a poor figure. She covered her chest anxiously and angrily and was speechless.
It just so happened that Amanda’s taxi had arrived at the side of the road. She couldn’t be bothered with Lydia.
“Miss Ginos, I’m warning you out of the kindness of my heart. Rather than treating me as an imaginary enemy, why don’t you spend more effort on yourself? Mr. Byran and I only have a business together.”
After that, she opened the door and got in the car.
Lydia stomped her foot in anger and raised her voice. “What are you pretending to be pure? You two only have business dealings. Do you think I’m stupid? Let me tell you, Iverson is getting married. He’s just playing with you!”
Amanda’s action of closing the car door froze for a moment.
“Iverson is getting married?”
Then he just said those ambiguous words to her!
“Could you tell me where you are going?”
The driver’s voice pulled Amanda’s mind back, and she snapped back to reality. “Let’s go to Maple Hotel.”
Looking out the window at the Byran Group building, Amanda kept hearing the ostentatious words, “Iverson is getting married.” For some reason, she suddenly felt annoyed.
She should have known that a man like Iverson would never really fall in love with her.
He knew she had just divorced and could not get married so soon, so he deliberately fooled around with her. He acted as if he was going to get married, but he just wanted to play with her!
Men were all the same!
The veil of night descended.
In the Sean’s Villa.
Halley returned home drunkenly and was helped to his house by the driver.
“Halley, you’re back. Why did you drink so much?”
Sherry took Halley from the driver.
“No need, I didn’t drink too much!” Halley waved his hand, but when he saw the figure rushing out of the living room, he immediately frowned and sobered up. “Why are you here?”
There were all kinds of gifts in the living room. It was obvious that Olinka had brought them here.
Mrs. Elder Sean said, “Olinka visited me often these days. She gave me Cubilose and bought me new clothes today. Even a secretary cares about me more than a son like you.”
“That’s right, Halley. Olinka is already here in the afternoon. She can’t get in touch with you. Look, her eyes are red!”
His harsh mother and sister were actually speaking up for Olinka.
Halley frowned. When he saw Olinka’s red-rimmed eyes, his heart immediately softened.
Seeing this, Sherry immediately pushed Olinka into his arms. “Olinka, help my brother. He’s too drunk and stinks.”
“Mom, aren’t we going to try on new clothes? Let’s go try them on.”
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the living room had left.
Olinka, the only one left holding onto Halley, said in a choked voice, “Halley, I’m sorry. I came without telling you. I was worried about you.”
Although Halley was angry, he knew it was all his fault whether he embezzled public funds or had an affair, so the case had nothing to do with Olinka.
“I’m sorry, Olinka. My attitude was bad today. I lost the lawsuit, and I’m in a bad mood.”
“It doesn’t matter. I understand. It’s all my fault. If only I had been more careful.” Olinka leaned against Halley’s chest. “Actually, if it weren’t for Amanda, I would have stayed by your side all the time.”
Compared to Amanda’s decisiveness at court today. Olinka was like a young propagandist; she was gentle as water.
Halley fell for her immediately. “Amanda did things so ruthlessly; I won’t care about our relationship anymore.”
“Halley, what are you going to do?”
“Isn’t she in charge of the project with the Byran Group? I’d like to see how she’ll take responsibility if something goes wrong with the project. How can Iverson trust her?”
There was a chill in Halley’s eyes, and he tightened his grip on the woman.
Having achieved her goal, Olinka smiled smugly as well.
