Chapter 122


    Chapter 122 Let’s Get Married, Amanda


    It was 4.00PM when Simon was sitting on his bed waiting for a phone call. He had not slept at a wink


    throughout the night.


    Suddenly, his phone rang, and a confident smile crept up his face. At expected, Grace was probably


    feeling utterly tormented throughout the night before she finally decided to call him


    So, he picked up the phone and started the recording Miss Murphy”


    The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds. “How did you know it me


    “Because I feel the same way as you do and couldn’t rest until I’ve received the answer I want. Im


    afraid that Amanda and Elias will mend their rtionship. Then, all my hard work for the past four years


    will go down the drain.”


    “Fine. Tell me, then. How are we going to destroy the evidence in her hands?


    She finally admits to her wrongdoings. Simon felt his smile widen. “You’re going to pretend to apologize


    to Amanda and beg her to not post the evidence online. I’ll act as if I was going to ask her about work


    while you start a fight with her. Then, I’ll pull Amanda away and you can run upstairs to look for the


    thumb drive. I remember that she hid it in the study. I’ll try my best to stall for time. Once you find it,


    destroy it immediately. She might have a copy somewhere as well. So, you need to find that and delete


    any evidence Amanda might have.”


    “Okay. Sure. I’ll head over in the morning. You should get ready, then.


    “Miss Murphy, remember that you are an actor. So, you have to stay in character and can’t let Amanda


    see through your schemes. She’s very vignt now and nobody can go near her study, especially


    during such a crucial point of time. Also. I don’t have to remind you that no one else can know about


    our little arrangement, do I?”


    On the other end of the phone, Grace wholeheartedly believed Simon. “Of course, I know that. But


    have you seen that video? Is it bad for me?”


    I got you. Simon tried to suppress the glee in his voice as he exined, “Yes. I’ve seen it. It’s not


    looking good for you. She’s only seen pping you in the video and she isn’t anywhere near the knife.


    The timestamp is also pretty clear that your face was fine before she left. But your face was cut 10


    minutes after she was gone. So, if this video was leaked, it’s enough to refute your ims.”


    Then, get on with it. We’ll move when the sun rises. I can’t wait any longer. That video can’t be posted,


    or else my life will be utterly ruined!”


    “Okay. Give me a call before you head out. I’ll make sure to cooperate with you.”


    After Simon ended the call, he checked the phone call recording and got up to walk to the study.


    The two foxes that had their schemes to execute weren’t the only ones unable to sleep as Amanda was


    also unable to fall into slumber. Regardless, she started to feel sleepy when it was close to sunrise and


    slept for two hours before Selina’s shout caused her to jolt awake from her


    impromptu nap.


    Amanda! Amanda!”


    Selina’s hurried footsteps could be heard thumping up the stairs as she started frantically knocking on


    Amanda’s bedroom door.


    Amanda, who was still groggy, heard the knock and slowly rolled herself off her bed. After a few


    moments, she went to open the door with her mind still in a daze.


    So, it was with half-lidded eyes that she grumbled wearily. “What’s wrong? Is Aiden refusing to wake up


    again?”

    “No! Look at this! You’re proven innocent!” Selina was excited as she shoved the phone toward


    Amanda’s face, eager to show Amanda the good news.


    Amanda took the phone with a confused expression and saw that it was a piece of news about Grace’s


    injured face.


    The title wrote. The truth behind Grace Murphy’s injured face. She did it herself!’


    Amanda immediately felt sober by that astounding title. She widened her eyes at it before she had the


    sense to scroll down to read the article.


    The content of the article stated that Grace was possibly the one who cut her face and med it on


    someone else. There was even a recording of a phone call in the article.


    Amanda yed the recording and was dumbfounded when she heard Simon and Grace’s


    conversation. Huh. Would you look at that? Simon actually did it?


    Now that they had the recording as proof, Grace’s words could be considered as her admitting that she


    deliberately disfigured herself and that she was lying. Therefore, she ced the entire me on


    Amanda to ruin Amanda’s reputation.


    Then, Amanda eventually arrived at thement sections below. Thements were heated, to say


    the least.


    ‘Oh, my God…. what have I heard? This recording is such a bombshell. So, it means that after Amanda


    left, Grace’s face was still fine, but ten minutester, her face was all cut up. If nobody was at home at


    that time, does that mean that Grace cut up her own face? I can’t believe that someone would go so far


    as to mutte themselves to appear like the victim?”


    This recording is clear as day. Grace is guilty. That’s why she’s so flustered! So, she wanted to look for


    the evidence in that woman’s home because she knew thatwyer was innocent!’


    I’m totally shocked at the turn of events. I have to say that Grace is really brutal, even to herself. She


    ruined her face just to use someone else!”


    This… This…. is such a shocking revtion. I didn’t expect Grace to be this kind of person


    Amanda saw how thements were condemning Grace for her brutality. It was apparent that the


    people were starting to side with her.


    Simon really did her a big favor this time.


    She didn’t expect him to do this as his efforts would be to no avail if Grace didn’t fall into his trap.


    Nheless, Simon had years of experience as awyer. So, his skill at making people talk was top-


    notch. Coupled with his great acting skills, she honestly had no reason to worry. Still, she had to admit


    that she didn’t think that he could trick Grace with his acting.


    Well, as for the mice caught in the trap… Grace was probably in a breakdown right now as her ns


    were falling all over her like a house of cards.


    Selina looked at Amanda who was in a daze and called out to her, “Amanda? Amanda!”


    “Huh? What?”


    “This is great. Who is this person? He’s so good at making Grace talk!” Selina listened to the whole


    conversation in awe. Simon was truly amazing as every word he said made it seem as though he was


    truly siding with the person he was fishing for information from.


    “He’s


    my


    friend and my boss. He is pretty good.” Amanda sighed to herself. Simon really helped me out this


    time. I don’t even know how to thank him…..


    She never wanted to trouble him, but things kept cropping up and she had no choice but to keep asking


    him for help when shended herself in trouble.


    Suddenly, her phone rang.


    Amanda returned Selina’s phone to her. “I have a call to answer.”


    “Go ahead. I’ll wake Aiden up for kindergarten.” Selina was in a good mood as she went down the


    stairs humming a jaunty tune.


    Amanda returned to her room and saw that it was none other than Simon calling her phone. She


    answered the call, saying gratefully, “Thank you so much, Simon! I really don’t know how to thank you.”


    She was a little worked up and she was touched as he helped her in her hour of need.


    Simon, who was on the other end of the phone, simply smiled. “Do you remember saying that you’ll


    owe me a favor? It’s time for you to repay me now.”


    “I’ll agree to anything you want!” Amanda was still immersed in the joy of the truthing to light.


    “My request is-let’s get married, Amanda.”


    Suddenly, the smile on her face froze as she held the phone, rooted in ce. She didn’t expect Simon


    to make such a request.
