Chapter 61 The Trick of Kicking Someone Away with Money
“Miss Jewell, the property of our office building, can be said to be the best in Ducco. People are coming to solve problems 24/7, and the security is also good.”
The real estate agent opened the shutter of the office, and the afternoon sun illuminated the entire office.
Although a lot of abandoned junk still had not been cleaned up, it could not cover up the perfect office environment. The office was sitting in the north to the south, and there was a large supermarket downstairs. It was a great place.
“Miss Jewell, look from here. The National Trade Center is in the east, and the National Exhibition Center is in the west. It’s in a good place.”
“It’s perfect.”
Amanda stood by the window, imagining the harmonious and warm office atmosphere after the opening of the new company.
However, reality needed to be seriously considered.
Amanda gathered her thoughts and said, “But the rent is too high. Can you lower it?”
“Miss Jewell, I’m sure that you’ve visited many apartments. The price we offer is very reasonable. What do you think?”
“That’s true.”
Amanda silently calculated in her heart.
In such a position and surrounding environment, the rental price offered by the real estate agent was reasonable. However, she still had to think about it. After all, she was in the early stages of her business, and she could not guarantee that she would be able to recoup her capital in the beginning. She still had to carefully calculate the cost.
“Let me think about it again.”
“Okay, no problem. You can contact me when you think about it later, but this office is easy to rent. Don’t think about it for too long.”
“Alright, may I stay here a little longer?”
The real estate agent smiled. “Of course, I’ll wait for you outside.”
Amanda walked around the large office and finally walked to an independent office. She saw the French window behind the desk when she opened the door. Outside the window was the iconic building of Ducco, the PG Pearl TV Station. The prosperity around it did not need to be described with words.
If she were to rent this place, everything would have to start again.
The phone vibrated in her hand. Seeing the caller ID, Amanda frowned slightly. “Hello? Mom.”
It was Mrs. Elder Jewell calling. “Amanda, let me ask you something.”
“What is it?”
“What does Iverson like to eat? Does he have any taboos?”
“Mom, why are you asking this?”
“The last time Iverson was at our place, I invited him over for dinner.”
“Mom!” Amanda interrupted her right away. “How many times have I told you not to disturb him?”
“How is this a disturbance? He has helped you enormously. I am simply thanking him.”
“I can appreciate him myself. It has nothing to do with you. Mom, let me tell you again. If you dare to contact Iverson again, I will break off all ties with you.”
“What are you talking about? Are you trying to piss me off?”
Amanda couldn’t be bothered to reply and hung up the phone.
“Hello? You!”
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Elder Jewell was furious. But when she turned her head and saw the braised pork on the kitchen stove, she immediately put it into an insulated lunchbox. She said happily, “You do not allow me to find him. I must go.”
Amanda hung up the phone sulkily by herself.
In fact, she didn’t have too many expectations for her mother. She just hoped that her mother would retire quietly and not make any trouble. However, Mrs. Elder Jewel was a restless person. She either gambled or owed others. She was regarded as a mistress by others when she danced with other people in the park, and Amanda had a headache every few days.
Just then, her phone rang again.
“Didn’t I tell you? You’re not allowed to look for him! It’s no use calling me. You’re forcing me to break off all ties with you, aren’t you?”
After a few seconds of silence, a gentle female voice came from the other end of the line. “Miss Jewell?”
Amanda was stunned. She glanced at the unknown number on the screen and returned to her senses. “Excuse me, who are you?”
“Hello, this is Iverson’s mother. My surname is Carey. ”
Amanda subconsciously tightened her phone grip, and her eyes darkened a little. “What’s the matter?”
“Miss Jewell, are you free now? Why don’t we meet and talk?”
In a café
Amanda looked at the middle-aged woman across from her and asked politely, “Why are you looking for me?”
The woman took good care of herself, and her makeup was exquisite. She was dressed simply and elegantly. Except for two ruby earrings hanging on her earlobes, she didn’t wear any jewelry. Although her speech and behavior were elegant, it could be seen that she was deliberate. Under her gentle and thick eyes, there was a hint of meanness.
This was very different from the noblewoman Amanda knew.
Victoria smiled and said, “Miss Jewell, it seems you already know the answer to that question.”
Amanda frowned slightly. From the sound of it, she was up to no good.
“Iverson is the eldest son of the Byran Family and the current president of the Byran Group. I can understand your eagerness to marry him, but Miss Jewell, shouldn’t you consider your identity before marrying him?”
“I want to marry him? My identity?”
Amanda was rendered speechless by her questions.
She had never said she would marry Iverson. Still, even if she told Victoria about it now, she probably wouldn’t believe it.
“That’s right. Miss Jewell, you’ve been married before. You should know how many problems in a marriage with an unsuitable family.”
“You investigated me?”
“Is there a need to investigate? Miss Jewell and your ex-husband’s divorce has been made known to the whole circle.”
“Anyway, this is my personal affair, isn’t it?”
“Of course, our Byran Family has nothing to do with this, but if Miss Jewell wants to marry into our family, we have the right to know it.”
“I never said I was going to marry Iverson.”
“Really?” Victoria’s slightly raised eyes were filled with contempt. “Then what does Miss Jewell mean by pestering Iverson all the time?”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“When did I pester him?”
“Miss Jewell, are you renting an office building soon?”
“Hearing that Amanda’s heart thumped and she became alert.”
Since she even knew this, how could she simply investigate herself?
“So what?”
“Miss Jewell, I admire you for your professionalism. But I disagree with you for making use of a man and using our family’s expensive office building in Sisson Tower for free.”
Amanda was taken aback. “The office building is owned by the Byran Family?”
“Miss Jewell, don’t tell me that you don’t know anything? I’ve seen a lot of people like you. You pretend to be ignorant and feel at ease to enjoy the indefinite period of man’s care.”
Victoria took a sip of coffee, her eyes filled with disdain and mockery.
“I’ll be frank with you. Name your conditions. What will it take for you to leave Iverson?”
Amanda almost laughed out loud.
After living for more than 20 years, she could actually encounter the plot of being driven away with the money. It turned out to be this kind of experience.
