Chapter 94 I Can Only Believe What I See of You
“It’s obvious that you cheated on my brother. You’ve already found another man. You even conspired with a lawyer to take away half of the Sean family’s property. In the end, my brother took all the blame. How can you be so shameless?”
Sherry said louder and louder, “I want to take this opportunity today to let everyone know your true colors. I want to see who will cooperate with someone like you in the future.”
Lydia was also there, and she said sarcastically, “It’s normal that you got a divorce, but Miss Jewell, how could you be so evil? You’re disregarding the relationship between husband and wife.”
“That’s right. How could she be like this?”
There was a heated discussion in the crowd.
“Such a person can also get so much money. She was really bold.”
“They’re living together. They must have been together for a long time.”
“So, Mr. Byran must have seen through her character to have dumped her.”
“What’s the use of a beautiful woman? She’s so vicious.”
…
Amanda looked at the crowd around her and her heart grew colder and colder.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
She didn’t care about what the outside world thought of her. However, she and Joleen were here for Safe Home Real Estate’s business today. Everyone here was an insider that they wanted to interact with. They might be partners in the future.
Sherry slandered her just like that, wanting her to lose all standing and reputation in this industry.
At this time, Iverson appeared in the crowd and looked at Amanda quietly.
“I rented that house. I didn’t live with anyone.”
Amanda explained with a sullen face, “Even if you have the information about property rights, you can’t prove that I cheated on your brother with him. I saw your brother cheating with my own eyes. Who did I conspire with? Did I force him to sleep with someone?”
Sherry sneered. “You think you can tell others you rented it just because you say so? Who would believe that?”
“That’s right. Who would believe that?” Lydia echoed. “You got so many houses and money after your divorce. Do you need to rent someone else’s house?”
The crowd was also convinced by these words and immediately stood on Sherry’s side.
Amanda clenched her fists. She couldn’t clear her name even if she jumped into a river.
“I believe you.”
A cold voice pierced through the crowd’s discussion and landed steadily on Amanda’s eardrums. She looked at the source of the voice in shock and saw a tall figure walking out from behind Lydia.
Lydia was taken aback. “Iverson, do you trust her?”
Iverson’s expression remained unchanged. “Yes.”
Sherry said hurriedly, “Mr. Byran, don’t be fooled by her. This is the information from the real estate agency, and I specifically asked someone to investigate it. She lives in that lawyer’s house. She knew that lawyer before, and the two have been flirting with each other all the time. It’s very likely that they have hooked up a long time ago.”
“Miss Sean,” Iverson interrupted her coldly, “slandering others at will is illegal.”
Sherry’s face turned pale. She raised her hand and swore, “What I said is absolutely true. She has already moved in with someone.”
“Is that so?” Iverson said nonchalantly, “If you have to point out who she’s living with, it should be me.”
Amanda was stunned and looked at the man in front of him in surprise.
When did she live with him? That was nonsense!
Everyone was shocked. The banquet hall immediately quieted down.
Lydia asked in disbelief, “Iverson, what… what are you talking about?”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Iverson wrapped his arm around Amanda’s shoulder and said, “I can prove that the house was rented, but I’m the only man who has ever been in that house.”
“How could this be possible?”
“Are you satisfied with this explanation, Miss Sean?”
“Mr. Byran, didn’t you break up with her? Why are you still so protective of her?”
“Who told you that?” Iverson’s cold eyes were filled with coldness. “Hasn’t Miss Sean ever been in a relationship? Are there no quarrels between lovers?”
Amanda’s back stiffened all of a sudden, but Iverson seemed to feel it and hugged her even tighter.
Putting his arms around her waist, Iverson faced the crowd and calmly announced, “Just in time, while everyone is here today, I would like to make an announcement. The cold war between Amanda Jewell and me will officially end, and we will be engaged soon.”
“What?”
Sherry and Lydia’s faces were filled with disbelief, and the spectators at the scene were even more dumbstruck.
What day is it today? People were able to see such a dramatic scene at the Byran family’s banquet! And were able to hear Iverson announcing his engagement personally!
Amanda was so stunned that she couldn’t say a word, and she couldn’t hear any of the discussions in her ears. All she could hear was the whistling of the wind and the words of Iverson, which kept echoing in her mind.
“Take care of the rest.”
Before Iverson had taken Amanda away, he had only said these words to Jamie Tarry.
“Yes, Mr. Byran.”
Amanda was dragged all the way to the lounge by Iverson. She didn’t even know how she followed him in, but as soon as she entered the room, she finally came to her senses and broke free from his grasp.
“Iverson, what engagement? When are we getting engaged?”
“Soon.” Iverson turned around, his tall figure enveloping her. “If I didn’t say that, their attention would be on whether you were having an affair, and who you were living with, so…”
Iverson pulled her closer and lowered his voice. “You should be thanking me for solving such a big problem for you, not blaming me.”
Amanda was pulled so hard that he staggered. Her nose hit the man’s chest, but she couldn’t get rid of his grip. After struggling for a long time, she finally gave up.
She gritted her teeth and said, “Why don’t you believe what Sherry said? Maybe I really live with someone?”
“I only believe in what I see of you.”
Her concise words stunned Amanda for a moment.
The man’s deep voice rang in her ear. “That’s why I hope that you will believe what you see in me, and not what others say.”
Amanda’s mind was buzzing. If it had been before that afternoon, she would have fallen in love with this sentence.
Unfortunately, something had happened, and it was impossible for her to pretend that it had never happened.
“Do you think I’m easy to fool?”
Amanda raised her head and looked coldly at Iverson, continuing, “Do you think that I will fall in love with you unconditionally and even be grateful to you every time I encounter something like a savior in my life?”
Iverson frowned.
Amanda was treating him like a total stranger.
Amanda used all her strength to push him away abruptly. Gritting her teeth, she said, “You keep saying that you want to marry me, but you want me to take the pills. Are you telling me to trust you?”
Iverson’s frown deepened. “Take the pills?” he asked in surprise.
Amanda was stunned. “You don’t know?”
“What do I need to know?” Iverson suddenly understood. “Who gave you the pills? What pills?”
Faced with his reaction, Amanda’s mind went blank.
She said in a daze, “Emergency birth control pills.”
