Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap
Chapter 937 She Knew It All

Amanda suddenly stood up and said icily, "You're just presumptuous. I don't bet with you is just because I don't like you. You are not a man-eating monster and I don't have to be afraid of you. Also, I don't like to hear about your love story and so don't talk to me about your ex-wife again. I'm very disgusted. To be honest, I had a very unpleasant lunch this time."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Stanford sat unmoving, watching her left.

Was she mad?

Was he pushing too hard?

His hand on the table clutched gently.

Perhaps he should have done things differently?

Walking out of the villa, Amanda made a call.

Stanford had signed the business case, and so this acquisition would officially begin.

The first round would involve investing a large amount of money in hitting the acquired company's shares.

Even if the two companies contributed simultaneously, it would still be a significant amount of money.

Stanford knew that he would never get back his money, and even if the acquisition was successful, it would only be a shell company, and he would definitely lose all his money. But, he still invested his money.

However, at this time, Casimir came to say goodbye to Amanda that he had to go home. For him, the country was where he worked. He had grown up with his mother abroad, so that place where he grew up was called home.

Amanda didn't ask him why he was suddenly going back. And as a friend, she sent him to the airport.

Casimir didn't know why his mother had suddenly called him back, just only asking him to make a trip back.

He and his mother had each other, and so he had to listen to her.

Amanda watched Casimir entered the boarding gate before turning around to leave the airport. Gerben opened the car door for her.

Amanda bent over and entered the car.

"There's something about the matter you asked me to investigate. The one called Atwood is investigating a car accident case from long ago." Gerben also sat in the car and said. When Amanda returned from the villa, she felt that Stanford knew something. So she asked Gerben's brother to follow Atwood and investigate what he was up to recently. Stanford trusted Atwood the most. And so, following him would lead to clues.

As expected, he had investigated the past, which meant he was aware of her identity. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly investigated this matter.

She looked out of the window faintly.

There was no expression on her face, but just curious about how did he replace out.

She couldn't figure out how had she aroused his suspicion.

Gerben saw her puzzled look through the rear-view mirror and said, "Mr. Baron had intentionally shown up at Aegis Security Services."

Amanda frowned, "What did you say?"

Gerben said, "It seems that Mr. Baron was found by him on purpose."

Amanda picked up her phone and was about to make a call. But yet, she put the phone down.

She figured out that she couldn't strictly follow her own plan at all. Her elders would always give her help.

Ay.

She forced a smile.

Gerben explained, "Mr. Baron just wants to see if Stanford still has love for you."

That was why he deliberately appeared at Aegis Security Services and was being discovered by Stanford.

He was testing how deep Stanford's remorse was. Would he fall into it even knowing that it was a trap?

Abbott was experienced, and how could he be so lax in his actions and let Stanford replace out easily. So he did it on purpose.

At first, he was optimistic about Stanford and thought he would be good with Amanda. Who knew that...

Amanda felt ridiculous about this. Even if there was still love inside a person full of hatred only, what could it mean?

For him, hatred was more significant than any feelings in his heart.

Even if he regretted and repented, she would not love him again.

It didn't make any sense at all.

But things had come to this, and that was all that could be done.

In this way, it seemed that Stanford had signed the project with alacrity, even knowing that it was a trap.

Since he was willing, then let's get it over with!

She revised the original business case by the amount of investment required. Since he was willing to fall into this trap, she would take advantage of it.

Amanda retook the contract to Stanford again. Stanford didn't ask why she changed the business case, nor did he read the content and just signed it as readily as he did last time.

It was not until the second round of funding started that Stanford received a call from the finance department.

The amount of money involved was tremendous, and they did not dare to transfer the money out so quickly.

Even though Stanford had already signed the approval letter, they still came to confirm it, fearing that something might have gone wrong.

Stanford stood in front of the window and looked out. This was what he owed her and should pay her back.

He said, "I agreed to it."

They didn't dare to say anything more.

In the hotel...

She got the news when the second part of the money was transferred in.

She thought that was fine.

It would soon be over, and she would be able to leave.

She had it all figured out. She would first have a trip abroad to get her looks back and then to see her parents as well as her brother and Theresa. A year was not a long time, but it was not a short time either.

Ring.

The door to her room suddenly rang. She walked over to open it and saw Stanford standing at the door.

Seeing that it was him, Amanda was not surprised. She smiled and said, "Mr. James, coming to see me, is there something wrong?"

She now knew that Stanford had known her identity. However, Stanford didn't know that she had already known he knew about it. "Simply wanting to see Ms. Flores. Would you invite me in for a seat?"

Stanford was calm on the surface but was actually in turmoil inside. He didn't know what he should do at the moment to get her back.

She had obviously been angry last time, and he didn't dare to use that kind of approach again.

"My place here is messy," Amanda said.

"I don't mind."

"Alright then. Please come in." Amanda moved sideways to let him in.

Stanford walked in and looked around the room, "I'll rent a room for you, Ms. Flores. It would be inconvenient for so many people going around in the hotel here." "No need. I don't think I'll be staying here for long." Amanda closed the door and walked in.

Stanford looked back at her, "Are you leaving?"

"This isn't my home at all. I should leave when my work is over." Amanda sat on the sofa and motioned for Stanford to sit as well.

Stanford was restless. Now he felt he shouldn't have signed so quickly. So that way, he could still keep her.

But what excuse was he going to use now?

"Ms. Flores..."

"Try this mango cake." Stanford hadn't finished his words when Amanda handed a piece of cake to him.

She used to like mangoes, but she never ate them again after knowing Stanford was allergic to them.

She didn't even buy them at home for fear of accidentally getting them on him.

Not sure why she had bought a piece of mango cake today.

Perhaps she was missing it after a long time since she had tasted mango.

Or maybe, she was trying to become the old her subconsciously.

Stanford, severely allergic to mangoes, looked at the mango cake, and his gaze fell on Amanda's face, "You're so nice to me."

"We're partners. I'm being nice to you naturally." As she spoke, she handed the cake forward again.
