Chapter 68 Suffering in Silence
“What’s going on?”
In the face of the police, Amanda and the other three lined up.
In addition to Jamie, the three people involved had special statuses, especially Iverson, so it was better to reduce the trouble as much as possible.
Amanda said, “It’s a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?” The policeman pointed at the swollen Halley. “Do you call this a misunderstanding?”
“What do you think?” Amanda was not in a hurry to defend herself. Instead, she looked deeply at Halley and said, “Mr. Sean.”
Halley covered his eyes and was stunned. Although he was not convinced, he could only admit it. “This is a misunderstanding. We were just joking.”
Since the person who had been beaten did not pursue the matter, the police could not ask any more questions.
“You are disturbing public security. This time, I’m just warning you verbally. It doesn’t matter if you sign it. If you do it again, it won’t be so simple.”
“Yes, I’ll sign it.”
Jamie hurriedly nodded and accepted the pen.
The policeman said, “You all have to sign.”
With that, he put down the four forms and unscrewed the teacups to drink water.
Amanda and Jamie looked nervously at Iverson, only to see that his expression remained unchanged. He quickly signed his signature and handed it over as if he didn’t take it seriously.
After that, it was Halley’s turn. He dawdled to sign the document.
“You can go now.”
“Thank you.”
When they left the police station, Iverson’s driver arrived to pick them up.
“Mr. Byran, Miss Jewell, the car is here.”
“Hey, you’re leaving just like that?” Halley called out to them. His swollen face stood under the curtain of night, which was especially laughable.
Iverson protected Amanda and blocked her way. He said flatly, “What’s wrong? Mr. Sean, do you want a ride?”
Halley turned pale. “No.”
“Then what else do you need?”
Facing Iverson’s offish gaze, Halley took half a step back and said awkwardly, “No, no.”
He wanted to talk to Amanda about the project but didn’t dare to because Iverson was there.
With Iverson’s status in Ducco, he could turn the Sean Group upside down with just a few words. He didn’t dare to offend him.
It wasn’t until he saw Amanda and Iverson get into the car that the look in his eyes cooled down. The throbbing pain in his forehead and the corner of his eyes hit him repeatedly. Still, the humiliation in his heart far exceeded that.
No man could accept his wife cuckolding him, but it was too late for him to pursue the matter now, and he dared not.
In the car, Iverson ordered, “Go to the hospital.”
“No need,” Amanda hurriedly said, “I’m fine. Just send me home.”
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror awkwardly. He didn’t know who to listen to.
After Iverson nodded, he drove in the direction of Sisson Garden.
Amanda said, “I’m sorry to trouble you with such a thing today, but it’s already so late. I don’t think anyone will see it, so no one will know.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Iverson didn’t seem to care at all.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
His identity wouldn’t be affected by such a small matter.
After driving Amanda home, it was already past eleven o’clock.
“I’ll take you upstairs.”
“There’s no need. It’s already so late. You should go home early.”
“Let’s go.”
Iverson had already gotten out of the car. He walked toward the entrance of the building without saying a word.
Amanda had no choice but to keep up.
Halley had been beaten to such an extent, so he shouldn’t have caught up again. Moreover, he wouldn’t have been so unlucky to be attacked twice daily.
In the elevator, Amanda looked at Iverson’s hand. There were scabs on his joints, mixing with the color of iodophor. Only then did she remember that his wound had not been dealt with.
The elevator rang with the sound of the door opening. They had reached the floor where Amanda was staying.
An offish voice came from the side and echoed in the elevator. “You’re here. Go back.”
“Wait a minute.”
Amanda stopped him and then quickly went home. When she came back, she took out a box of band-aids. “Give me your hand.”
Iverson was taken aback.
Seeing that he was still in a daze, Amanda took his hand and carefully pasted a few band-aids on it. Her hands were rough and messy. Iverson’s hand looked even more chaotic.
“Ahem, little ugly, but you’d better stick to them, lest you bump into them again.”
“Pretty good.”
The words fell on Amanda’s eardrums, and their eyes met. Amanda blushed, and her eyes flickered. “Thank you for what you did today.”
“You’re going to thank me just like that?”
Iverson approached her.
Amanda suddenly panicked. She took a few steps back, her back leaning against the cold wall.
Iverson was a very thorough businessman. Iverson had said before that no matter what he did, what he needed was not thanks but something of equal or even higher value than what he had paid.
So he wanted to…
Amanda shut her eyes abruptly.
Her forehead suddenly ached, and she opened her eyes with a cry of surprise. She looked at the man in front of her in shock.
Iverson had already retracted his hand. “What are you thinking about? Are you willing to do that?”
Amanda hurriedly explained, “That’s not what I meant…”
“Consider this my thanks.” With that, Iverson took the box of band-aids out of her hand. “It’s getting late; go to bed early.”
Iverson turned around and walked into the elevator. He stood in the elevator and smiled at her.
Amanda stood outside the elevator and touched her forehead. The pain had long disappeared, but the temperature was still there. She stared blankly at the closed elevator door and didn’t come back to her senses for a long time.
The car moved slowly through the streets late at night.
Jamie said carefully, “Boss, it’s all my fault. I didn’t get rid of him earlier and even alarmed the police.”
“It doesn’t matter. No one will see us at this late hour. But the police are quite fast. Do you know who reported the case?”
“Maybe the neighbors heard something? That makes sense.”
Iverson frowned slightly.
The building that Amanda lived in was one story with two households. Only two households lived on the same floor. Was it probably the neighbor’s report? It made sense.
“Inform the property management tomorrow morning and ask them to strengthen the community’s security.”
“Yes, what about the Sean Group? Do you want to warn them?”
“No need. Amanda can handle it herself.”
Iverson’s eyes lit up with admiration at the mention of Amanda.
It was late at night.
Amanda returned home and closed the door behind her.
With a “bang” sound in the corridor, the voice-activated light outside slowly dimmed down.
A small camera was shining red on the door frame opposite Amanda’s house. It was facing the opposite door, and the high-purity camera captured everything clearly in the night.
The large room was dim at the other end of the camera, with only the floor-to-ceiling light in the living room. The workbench was massive, and there was only a computer on it.
The computer was playing the chaotic battle outside two hours ago.
“Stop!”
In the woman’s dissuading voice, a thin and white hand pressed the mouse lightly, paused the surveillance video, and fixed it on the picture of the three people in the same frame.
