Chapter 95 I Will Give You an Explanation
Iverson Byran’s face darkened visibly. He grabbed Amanda Jewell’s shoulder abruptly and asked, “Who gave you this?”
Amanda was dumbfounded by his grip. “It’s it you?”
“Think carefully. Did I deliver it to you personally?”
“But that day you said…”
Amanda’s mind was a mess.
That day, Iverson had said that he had something to send to her house, and not long after, the housekeeper of the Byran family came with the box of pills…
Amanda was suddenly enlightened. “You didn’t ask someone to send me the pills. What are you giving me?”
Iverson had already understood what she meant, and his face darkened to a frightening degree. “Have you taken the pills yet?”
Amanda’s face was pale, and she couldn’t say anything.
Iverson grabbed her shoulders for a long time before suddenly pulling her into his embrace.
Even without Amanda telling him, he could guess what was going on. The person who could convince Amanda that Iverson had delivered the pills must have something to do with the Byran Family. It was a misunderstanding that caused them to have a fight for half a month.
Amanda snuggled up in a strange and familiar embrace. The sudden warmth contrasted sharply with the surging waves outside the room. She couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Amanda suddenly felt very regretful. At that time, her first reaction was to believe that the pills were Iverson’s idea, and she regretted that he had not confirmed it with Iverson before she blamed him.
“I’m sorry.”
The man’s deep voice came from above her head.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Amanda replied in a muffled voice, “I misunderstood you.”
“So, you mentioned breaking up because of this?”
“No.”
Iverson let go of her. “Look into my eyes.”
Amanda looked at the man in shock. He was much taller than her. Even though she was wearing high heels, he was still half a head taller. So when she looked at him, she had to raise her head.
Iverson didn’t wait for her to say it again.
“I will give you an explanation for this and it will never happen again.”
“I don’t mean to ask you to investigate.”
“It’s my own idea.”
Iverson’s eyes were extremely dark, and his cold demeanor was completely different from when he had faced Amanda just now.
Amanda was stunned when his hand was suddenly held. “Let’s go.”
“Where are we going?”
“Accompany me outside to deal with the guests today.”
“Why should I accompany you?”
“Get used to being my fiancée.”
“What?”
Without hesitation, Iverson led her out of the room.
In the banquet hall, everyone was still gathered in groups of three or four, and they were still talking about what had just happened.
Sherry and Lydia had not left yet, and their faces looked uglier and uglier.
“Iverson!”
Seeing that Iverson had returned, Lydia stepped forward and asked, “Where have you been?”
Seeing Iverson and Amanda holding hands, Lydia’s face immediately changed. “You…”
Amanda subconsciously tried to break free, but Iverson held her even tighter.
Iverson looked at Lydia, “Since Miss Sean is your friend, you should control her words and actions.”
As soon as he said this coldly, Lydia’s face immediately turned pale, and Sherry behind her was also frightened.
Sherry just wanted to take advantage of the Byran family’s banquet to make Amanda embarrassed in front of people in the industry and cut off her chance to seek cooperation with them. Meanwhile, Lydia wanted to let this incident completely ruin Amanda’s good impression in Iverson’s heart.
Unexpectedly, both of them came here for nothing.
“Mr. Byran, congratulations. Cheers.”
The guests came over to congratulate them and soon surrounded Amanda and Iverson.
Lydia and Sherry were squeezed out of the crowd. Sherry was still unconvinced and wanted to say something. “Mr. Byran, you’ve been cheated by her. She…”
“Stop talking.” Lydia interrupted her and suppressed her jealousy. “Didn’t you hear what Iverson just said? He asked me to control you and stop you from talking nonsense.”
“Why do you think I’m talking nonsense? It’s all because of you.”
Sherry’s expression changed when she saw Lydia’s cold expression as if Lydia was taking her anger out on her. “I have other matters to attend to. I’ll leave first.”
With these words, she left the room.
The only one left standing outside the crowd was Lydia, who gulped down two cups of cocktail and clenched her fists.
It had not been easy for her to wait until today to show up with Iverson in front of so many people, but at such a critical moment, Amanda had stolen all her good times.
News of what had happened at the banquet quickly made its way to the Byran family home.
“Did he announce the engagement?”
As soon as Victoria Carey heard the news, she was stunned. “Didn’t he stop seeing Amanda Jewell? Why is it so sudden?”
The housekeeper lowered his voice and said, “It doesn’t look like he’s prepared for this. It looks more like he’s trying to help Miss Jewell.”
When Victoria thought of what Lydia and Sherry had done at the banquet, she patted the corner of the table and said angrily, “These fools.”
If she has someone better to work with, she would not hesitate to give up the fool, Lydia Ginos.
“Madam, what shall we do now?”
“What should we do? Do we need to think about it?” Victoria glanced outside the door. “Mrs. Old Byran still doesn’t know about it, does she? Let’s go and tell Mrs. Old Byran about it and let her make a good decision.”
…
It was late at night.
Outside the hotel, luxury cars drove away one after another.
Iverson took Amanda to the entrance of the hotel. Amanda was wearing a wide suit jacket.
“I won’t send you home. Let me know when you get home.”
“Alright.”
The evening wind messed up her hair. Amanda raised her hand and fiddled with the hair next to her ear. “What did you want to give me that day?”
Iverson adjusted her suit jacket for her and said, “It’s nothing. Since you didn’t get it, just forget about it. We’ll talk about it next time.”
Amanda wanted to ask more questions, but the horn of a car rang behind her.
Joleen had already driven over, nestled in the car, and honked the horn. She smiled apologetically across the passenger seat and said, “Sorry, I didn’t want to disturb you guys, but there’s still a car waiting behind. I can’t wait anymore.”
Amanda blushed. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Am I talking nonsense? Then why are you blushing?”
“Who’s blushing?”
Iverson held Amanda back and said, “Let me take a look.”
Hearing this, Amanda’s face turned red even if she didn’t blush before. She immediately shook off Iverson’s hand and hurriedly got into the car, as if she had shaken off a hot potato.
“Let’s go!”
In the rearview mirror of the car, the man’s figure was standing straight in the evening wind, waving at them.
“Stop looking. He already went back.”
Joleen’s teasing voice appeared within the car.
Amanda immediately shifted her gaze. “Who’s looking at him? I’m looking at the building outside.”
“Oh?” Joleen slightly raised her eyebrows. “Regardless of whether or not you saw him or not, what do you plan on saying about today’s engagement?”
