Chapter 174
Amanda stared at her grandfather innocently as she waited for his answer.
“Where are you looking at me with those eyes?” he asked her angrily.
“I am just waiting for your answer,” Amanda replied.
“You! Are you proud that you slept with a strange man? Is he worth it? Can he compare to the man I ar introducing you to? Can he compare to your brothers?” the old man asked angrily making the atmospher
tense.
They all looked at the old man as they hoped that he would realize his mistake.
“You can’t talk huh?” Old Mr Anderson said with a sneer making Amanda’s eyes turn old.
“Yes, he might now compare to them but I am sure that he will learn and be one of the best. Didn’t! learn and become just like them after uniting with you after being away for twenty years? Or are you going to look down on me too?” Amanda asked coldly making the old man look at her in shock.
He had never expected that his granddaughter would one day talk to him in such a tone.
“What are you shocked? Do you think that I had any choice that night? Do you think that I wanted to be drugged and sleep with a stranger or that I drugged myself?” Amanda asked coldly and angrily and no one stopped her as they understood her pain and hurt.
“Dad, you shouldn’t have said what you have said. She hasn’t even recovered and you have started causing trouble? We have stayed here in peace thus kindly don’t ruin it. Since you came back, Amand was nearly killed because of your tricks and plan and now that she has suffered in her enemy’s hands you don’t even sympathize with her but only think of how to marry off your granddaughter. Why do yo keep insisting on Amanda marrying that guy when even Ariana hasn’t gotten married? Or is Amanda your granddaughter as she has been away unlike Ariana?” Mr Anderson asked angrily.
“I am doing it for her good!” the old man retorted.
“For her good? Then kindly don’t! We will find a good husband for our daughter when she is ready to get married and if she doesn’t want to then we have enough money to raise her,” Mrs Anderson said calmly but her eyes were cold.

When that time arrives, we will think about the marriage once more,” Second Mr Anderson said in a
serious tone while the others nodded their heads in agreement.
“You! You have no respect for your father!” the old man said with fury but didn’t blame them as he
knew that he was in the wrong, but there was no way he would apologize to her.
He just told himself that he would do something or give Amanda something as an apology for what he
had done.
“I am going to my bedroom as I am not hungry anymore,” Amanda said as she got out of her mother’s
embrace.
When she arrived at her room, she called her brother, Alex.
“Hello, kid. Sorry, I am caught up here and can’t come back home,” Alex said immediately after he picked up the call.
“There is no problem. Just continue with your work. I called because I need your help,” Amanda said without beating around the bush.
“Pfft. You just call me when you need my help and not when you miss me. I am even starting to wonder whether you have ever missed me,” Alex said in a low wrong tone making Amanda face herself.
“You should join Ace and start acting as you are pretending now. I can even sense it here,” Amanda said as she didn’t feel the need to flatter him and curry favor.
“You! You can’t even please someone when you are looking for help?” Alex asked angrily.
“Well, you aren’t just someone but my brother! Of course, I will ask for your help without curry favors as it isn’t necessary. If you don’t want to help me then I will just inform the eldest brother,” Amanda said sharply making Alex speechless.
“How dare you threaten me!” he said angrily.
“How dare you say that you won’t help me!” Amanda retorted.

How dare you say that you wont help me! Amanda retorted.
There was a moment of silence as if they were both glaring at each other.
“Fine. What do you want me to do?” Alex said as he gritted his teeth.
“I just know the person’s name but don’t have his contact information. Can you help me in finding it?” Amanda asked immediately while Alex remained silent.
He knew even without being told who the person she was looking for was. He really wanted to say nc but he was afraid of hurting her feelings. Although he wasn’t around her, that didn’t mean that he
didn’t care about her or that he didn’t know what was happening back home,
“Why are you silent? Aren’t you going to help me?” Amanda asked as she was running out of patience
and he just wanted to sleep.
“Don’t command me, okay? Don’t you know that I have a lot of work to do? Even agreeing to your
request is just adding a list of things I need to complete. It’s like you don’t want me to come back
home,” Alex immediately replied making Amanda roll her eyes as she wondered what had changed hin
“If you are busy, you won’t be wasting a lot of time here arguing with me! You would have just answered me and then hung up so that you could continue with your work. There is no need for you 1

“The person’s name is Antonio Rodriguez,”
manda added.
“Why does that name sound familiar? Wait a little
Wait a little bit,”
Nex said before taking out his other phone.
“I have sent you a photo, can you look at it and tell me of
that’s the person you are talking
about,” Alex said.
Amanda clicked on the incoming text then replied, “Yes. Forward his contact info. I am sure that you
can get it as he is just a nobody.”
Alex was shocked when he heard her answer but gulped when she said the second sentence.
“Do you even know who he is call
