Spoiled By The Mighty After Dumping The Fuckboy

The air seemed to freeze, and no one of the Byran Family dared to speak. Everyone in the room held their breath.

Amanda didn’t know if the Byran Family was usually like this, but no matter what, this time was because of her that became like this. She had become a target for all this time.

This feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.

“It’s all my fault. I said that I wanted to clarify things when we first met, which made it so awkward. Iverson, if you want to blame someone, blame me. This was my idea. I apologize to Miss Jewell.”

Victoria tried to smooth things over and pretended to be kind. “Miss Jewell, you’re not going to argue with me, are you?”

Amanda smiled. “Of course not.”

It wasn’t painful or itchy to be asked a few questions. She also wanted to reconcile the dispute and let it go.

Mrs. Old Byran probably didn’t want to get angry with her grandson, so she managed to ease her tone. “Miss Jewell is quite generous. You’re nothing like what the rumors say.”

Amanda said, “It seems that you’ve heard a lot of rumors, Mrs. Old Byran?”

“You are quite famous in the circle.”

Her words were full of sarcasm. Amanda pulled her mouth, but she didn’t reply.

Iverson said unhappily, “It’s just hearsay. Grandma, you’d better listen less to it.”

“That’s right. Most of the rumors can’t be trusted.” Victoria greeted everyone with a smile. “The food is ready in the kitchen. Don’t just stand there. Let’s go have dinner. Mom, I’ll support you.”

With that, Victoria took the initiative to help her up.

Her enthusiasm was completely different from her earlier embarrassment and even humiliation of Amanda.

Amanda found it funny. Wasn’t it tiring to show people two faces all her life?

Just as she was following Mrs. Old Byran and Victoria to the dining room, Amanda’s hand suddenly warmed up. Iverson was holding her hand from the side.

Amanda turned her head in surprise. Subconsciously, she wanted to pull his hand back, but his grip tightened.

Amanda lowered her voice and sounded a little anxious. “Your family is watching us.”

“Let them watch.” Iverson held her hand tightly and walked past the threshold of the dining room. His cold voice could only be heard by Amanda. “My stepmother has two faces, and you’ve seen for yourself. Just ignore her.”

Amanda was dumbfounded.

Did he install a bug in my heart? How can he know what I thinking? It’s terrible.

At the dining table, Amanda sat next to Iverson.

The servant came forward to hand her a hot towel. She hesitated for a few seconds.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Victoria’s reminder came from the opposite. She said sarcastically, “It’s for cleaning your hands, Miss Jewell.”

Disdain appeared on the servant’s face.

There were many rules in the rich and powerful families. Once you did not understand, you would show fear which would lead to the concept of not only the master of the family but also the servant.

Amanda had experienced such a state of mind. Even though she was careful, she was out of tune with the luxurious life and could not be changed.

“Thank you.”

Amanda wiped her hands, and the servant took away the towels and didn’t even spare her a glance.

Victoria said, “I don’t know what Miss Jiang likes, so I asked the kitchen to cook a few more dishes and see if they suit your taste.”

“Thank you.”

Mrs. Old Byran looked Amanda up and down who was sitting with Iverson. In terms of appearance, they were indeed a perfect match, and she didn’t feel as conflicted as before. However, when she thought of the fact that she had been divorced, she still couldn’t bring herself to like her.

Amanda tasted a few mouthfuls of food, and they were indeed delicious.

“Does it taste good?” Iverson asked from the side.

“Very good.”

Amanda picked up a piece of Sauteed Shrimp with her chopsticks and put it in Iverson’s bowl. “Try it.”

Iverson took a sip and said, “It’s really good. Eat more if you like it.”

Seeing this, Mrs. Old Byran and Victoria were both stunned.

It should be noted that Iverson never ate food picked up by others, not even by serving chopsticks. He was especially particular about eating.

But under the watchful eyes of the public, he ate the food that Amanda had picked up for him so naturally.

Amanda could feel everyone looking at her in shock and subconsciously touched her face. “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

Mrs. Old Byran came back to her senses and said, “Nothing, just have more.”

Victoria seemed to suddenly remember something and instructed the servant, “I still have a bottle of wine. Bring it here. It’s rare for Miss Jewell to be here today. Try it.”

Not long after, the servant went to the wine cellar to get the red wine.

A bottle of Romanee-Conti worth more than two million dollars was indeed a good wine.

“No, I can’t drink much.”

Amanda hurriedly refused, but she couldn’t resist Victoria’s enthusiasm. “It’s okay. This is red wine. It can beautify the skin.”

Victoria poured a glass for Mrs. Old Byran as well. “Mom, you and also drink some.”

Mrs. Old Byran didn’t refuse, which meant she acquiesced.

Regardless of whether Victoria was sincere or not, the atmosphere had finally become much more harmonious. Amanda couldn’t ruin the mood, so she had to drink with them.

After a few rounds of wine, Mrs. Old Byran asked about Amanda’s latest situation.

“I heard that you’re not working in the Sean Group anymore, Miss Jewell. What’s your plan next?”

“I don’t have any plans for the time being. I’ll take a rest for a while.”

“Aren’t you planning to start your own company?”

Mrs. Old Byran hit the mark with a single comment and said indifferently as if she was trying to expose Amanda’s lie.

If it were any other young lady who was inexperienced, she would have been frightened. However, Amanda hadn’t been in vain in Ducco for so many years. She said calmly, “It’s not easy to say things that haven’t been settled yet.

“The macroenvironment is not good now. It’s not easy for you to start a business in Ducco alone. Have you ever thought about working in the Byran Group? That way, you can be closer to Iverson.”

“Mom.” Victoria, who was sitting to the side, was shocked. She cautiously asked, “Are you going to let her join the company? They are not married yet!”

“Miss Jewell is quite capable, and she’s more than qualified to be a senior executive in our company. What do you think, Iverson?”

Iverson was a man of few words, and he was almost completely silent at the table. Hearing this, he just said lightly, “It depends on Amanda.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Old Byran.” Amanda declined politely. “But I don’t want to. I want to do something on my own.”

Victoria heaved a sigh of relief, but deliberately said sarcastically, “Miss Jewell, Mom wants you to join the company because she thinks highly of you. Such a good opportunity is hard to come by.”

Amanda smiled but didn’t reply.

There was admiration in Mrs. Old Byran’s eyes. “Everyone has their own ambitions, so I won’t force you.”

Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Old Byran left the table and said, “The wine is a little intoxicating. I’m going back to rest now. Enjoy your meal.”

Victoria immediately held her up and said, “Mom, I’ll stay with you.”

After the two left, Amanda felt that her shoulders were much lighter and heaved a sigh of relief.

Iverson picked up a piece of pork rib into her bowl and said, “You can eat now?”
