Chapter 7 How Could You Lie?
Iverson’s expression was very serious, as if he was not joking.
Amanda froze on the spot, and her ears turned red. She suddenly felt embarrassed and shy.
She had indeed taken the initiative to seduce him yesterday. Still, she had thought it would be easy for a man like Iverson to sleep with any woman, but what had he just said?
His first time?
Iverson looked at the woman in front of him, who had lowered her head, and no one knew what she was thinking. She was still wearing his shirt, and the red kiss marks on her collarbone were obvious.
The memories from last night came back to him. His expression darkened, and he looked away.
“I’ll give you a week.” Iverson stood up and said in a calm but unquestionable voice, “I need to see your divorce agreement in a week.”
Amanda sat in the backseat of the limousine while the driver drove in front.
Her head was still throbbing from a hangover. She frowned as she recalled what Iverson had told her about the matter of divorce, feeling as if she was dreaming.
It was ridiculous: Just one night, she experienced her husband’s pink affair with her secretary. She had gone to a bar to buy drinks and accidentally slept with her partner. Now, her partner asked her to divorce and take responsibility for him.
However, Amanda’s expression froze. Even if Iverson hadn’t mentioned it, she would have still gotten a divorce from her husband.
Halley betrayed her and cuckolded her. What was she going to do if she continued to endure?
Divorce. Of course, Amanda had to get a divorce from that jerk.
But she couldn’t divorce him so easily. Before she left, she had to skin that shit ‘couple’ alive…
…
The driver drove Amanda to the villa in Naco.
This villa was bought by Halley two years ago after Amanda made a lot of money from a big deal. After the fit-up, the Sean Family moved here.
Amanda stood at the door and tidied up her hair before pushing it open and entering.
“Oh my, Mrs. Sean, you’re finally back!”
Mrs. Laury shouted as soon as she opened the door. Her voice was so exaggerated that everyone in the room could hear her. “You didn’t come back last night. We were so worried!”
Amanda looked indifferent as she changed into her shoes and entered the house.
“Amanda, where did you go last night?” As soon as Halley saw her, he immediately greeted her. “I called you all night, but you didn’t answer. I was so worried…”
Amanda’s face was a little pale. She tried her best not to think about the disgusting thing between him and Olinka last night. She still smiled gently as before and said, “I’m fine. Since I didn’t see you last night, I went to Joleen Lewis’s home.”
“But I saw Joleen post on WhatsApp Circle last night saying she was on a business trip. Sis, why are you lying?”
Halley’s sister bit a strawberry on the sofa, giggling and waiting for Amanda to answer.
Hearing this, Mrs. Elder Sean’s expression changed as well. She said sarcastically, “Halley, you have to be careful. Perhaps someone was having a love affair stealthily.”
These words were too harsh and cruel.
Amanda’s face was pale. She clenched her fists and didn’t say a word.
She had always known that Mrs. Elder Sean didn’t like her.
When Amanda married into the Sean Family, Mrs. Elder Sean looked down on her ordinary family background. Then, as Mrs. Elder Sean learned that Amanda couldn’t give birth to a child, she even made fun of her. Mrs. Elder Sean had said all kinds of harsh words to Amanda.
“Mom!” Halley held Amanda in his arms and said with a serious face, “Don’t talk so rudely. The Sean Group held a celebration party yesterday, and Amanda helped me entertain clients. It’s normal for her to drink too much. I believe in her!”
After that, he lowered his head and looked at Amanda comfortingly.
If Amanda hadn’t run into Halley’s cheating repeatedly last night, Amanda would have been touched again. What a gentle and considerate husband!
But when she thought of how he and Olinka had cheating behind her back countless times, a wave of disgust rose in Amanda’s chest.
Amanda pushed him away. “I don’t feel well. I’m going upstairs.”
“Brother, Sister-in-law’s clothes are expensive. When did you buy it for her? I want that too!”
“Halley, what do you want a daughter-in-law like her for? Maybe she already has a secret lover outside!”
Mrs. Elder Sean and Sherry Sean laughed at Amanda as she left, mocking or joking.
Halley stood at the top of the stairs and watched Amanda’s back as she went upstairs. His expression froze a little.
He had a feeling that she was different. Had she discovered something yesterday?
As soon as Amanda went upstairs, she closed the door and leaned against the wall. Her chest kept heaving, and her eyes were wet.
What had she been doing for three years?
