Devil President's Night Bride

Chapter 35 No Acceptance

She didn't know where they were going. Road lamps were all around them; cars were whistling; she couldn't find a direction. However, she ran after him without hesitation, as if she was chasing a crazy dream.

At the sight of the bright light, Amanda got tears in her eyes and slowed down.

"Don't you want to see Sheryl?" Lionel turned back, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

Amanda didn't go into the ward. She said, "I don't have the face to see Sheryl now. I don't know what to say to him? He doesn't want to hear the infighting and I don't want to tell him either."

"Do you think this is not suitable for him to hear?"

Amanda nodded with a guilty look in her eyes, "Sheryl is just a kid."

Lionel nodded and they sat by the lake for a while.

"I'm really a bad sister. I can't even protect my brother." As Amanda spoke, a gust of wind came, blowing away the dust on her memory that had sealed up her heart, "At that time, I didn't know anything. Suddenly, someone told me that my parents died and my younger brother almost died. As long as I signed the agreement, my younger brother could come to life. Then I signed it directly. Later I learned that it was a guardian confirmation letter and stock share transfer agreement. My father's personal lawyer, Lawyer Sun, had already been in collusion with my uncle, who forced me using Sheryl as excuse to leave here and live abroad. I have been away for ten years."

Lionel said, "Haven't you come back in the past ten years?"

"No, they didn't allow me to come back. There was an assistant looking after me there. My ID card and passport were controlled by someone else so I could only stay there. The only thing that could comfort me was that they took a video of Sheryl on his birthday every year and told me that Sheryl was fine.

They told me not to worry about him." Tears welled up again when Amanda thought of the old days. She couldn't continue. She bowed her head and sobbed. What she saw was all fake. Last time at Cheng family, Susie made it clear that because she was not in, they could bully Sheryl as they wanted to vent their anger. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

What did Sheryl suffer when she was out of sight?

He reached out and held Amanda in her arms. As Amanda rested her head on a warm and strong chest, the sadness in her heart immediately gave out. Her sadness turned into a wail. She had nowhere to cry now. She was under surveillance abroad, and when she came back home, she was married to a demon who looked down upon her both physically and mentally. She had no one to rely on in her family, but she had to deal with them.

"You'll feel much better after you cried. At least, you are much better now. With this position, no one will be so stupid to hurt you for the time being." When she stopped crying, Lionel patted her on the shoulder and said.

Then Amanda asked, "Why did Nicholas ask me to be the vice president? I know nothing. I married him just for the cooperation between Cheng family and An family."

"He has to give you a springboard. As far as I know, An Group is planning to cooperate with Cheng Group for a group of buildings. The program has just been through the preliminary planning. The person in charge of the project needs to be one from Cheng Group in the future. As the connection of An Group and Cheng Group's marriage, you won't have much requirements from either side of the project. But before that, you have to learn how to deal with it, so that you can let your employees trust you." Lionel replied.

Amanda nodded, "I see." She laughed at herself and thought that there was no free lunch for her. All of a sudden, Amanda came to her senses. She sat up straight and said in a low voice, "I got your clothes

wet because of crying."

"And then?" Lionel asked smilingly.

"Why don't you take it off and let me wash it for you?" Amanda bowed her head and said.

"In that case, will Darren be jealous?" Lionel replied.

Amanda was a little angry, "Whatever I want to do has nothing to do with him. He can't be jealous of me."

"I don't understand." Lionel replied.

"Well. Whatever I do has nothing to do with him. He has no reason to be jealous. I don't care whether he gets jealous or not." Amanda said, feeling a little awkward.

Lionel didn't say anything. He just stared at her. Amanda was at a loss for words. She tried to move her eyes away but felt uneasy. She looked at him. The night wind blew gently, as if they were going to talk some sentimental melodies. He put his hand on her shoulder slowly. Feeling a slight force on her shoulder, Amanda couldn't help but take a breath of relief, watching him slowly coming closer to her.

Suddenly, a scream came from the hospital. Both of them stopped what they were doing and turned around. Someone shouted, "Everything's gonna be right. Calm down, calm down."

"The roof." At the first glance, Lionel saw a thin figure in the wind on the top of the building. The figure wobbled and fell off as if a kite was blown off by the wind. Amanda's eyes were covered by Lionel and he whispered in a low and firm voice, "Don't look at these."

The sound of something heavy falling on the ground, scream and people's sad tears interwove. All of a sudden, the blood all over Amanda's body became cold. Then, she immediately got up and ran to the

hospital. She ran to the ward of Sheryl all the way. Looking at the young man who was still lying and breathing steadily in the bed, Amanda felt the blood all over her body warm up a little.

"Sheryl is fine." Afraid that she might have an accident, Lionel followed her here. He held Amanda's hand and assured her, "Don't worry. Sheryl is safe here. I can assure you that nothing will happen to him."

"How do you keep your promise?" Amanda looked up at him with her anxious eyes as if he was a life- saving straw.

Lionel was stunned. He then replied, "I have no choice outside. But I'm able to set your minds at rest, because Gu family is the largest shareholder in the hospital, and we have absolute seats in the board."

Amanda stared at him surprisingly. Gu family had its shares here and was the biggest shareholder. She knew that Lionel had a good family background. Otherwise, he would have made a concession to Darren. But what she didn't expect was that Gu family even dealt with medical treatment. Such a huge gap between the two families made Amanda feel worse.

Mr. Lionel was such a nice person. He deserved a better girlfriend. No matter who she was, it shouldn't be her. She is worse than any other girls, because she is still unable to decide for herself up to now. Amanda, woke up, please.

"Thank you." Amanda smiled, "I'm glad to hear that. It's getting late, Kevin is still waiting for me outside the restaurant. I should go home now."

Lionel frowned slightly. He sensed the alienation in her words, but he calmly said, "I'll take you back."

They came back to the restaurant after going through the alley. Amanda said goodbye to him and smiled. She left the restaurant. Lionel held a glass of wine and drank it slowly. Then he took out his

mobile phone and made a call, "Father, a patient jumped off a building today. We notified the daily newspaper. The medical problem is under control. Uncle will deal with it."

After hanging up the phone, he sat down and took a sip of the wine quietly. The sweetness and mellow of the wine were not as good as ones at his cellar, but he felt very comfortable. Probably because it was someone else who paid for it. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and Lionel drank it all in one gulp with a ferocious look flashed across his eyes.
