Chapter 919: What Secrets?
Since Amanda knew that man, she must have a lot of consideration. That was why she hesitated to tell
him.
Casimir realized that he had been too anxious, so he changed his tone, “Please tell me. I’m ready for
it.”
Amanda scratched her hair and said gently, “Before he got married, he had a filthy personal life.”
Casimir was shocked.
“How filthy?” He calmed himself down, wondering what he was - a product of a one-night-stand or a
sex deal.”
“He’s married now and cares about his family. I invited him for dinner tonight. If you want to recognize
him, it’s an opportunity tonight. He’ll leave probably tomorrow,” said Amanda directly.
Casimir hadn’t made up his mind yet. He wondered what if the man wouldn’t admit it or be willing to
recognize him.
What if he wasn’t that man’s son?
He couldn’t confirm that man was his biological father by only a photo, could he? If that man wasn’t his
father, it would be way embarrassing.
In conclusion, Casimir flinched.
“Are you close to him, Amanda?” he asked.
Amanda made it clear, “What do you want to ask? Please go ahead. I’ll try my best to help you if I
could. However, I won’t help you harm him. We’re quite close. He’s been working for my father for
several decades. We’re like family.
Casimir asked, “What about you and me?”
“We’re friends,” she blurted out.
However, Casimir wasn’t happy with her answer.
“Are we only friends?”
“Then we could be...” Meeting Casimir’s disappointed and expectant eyes, Amanda bit the bullet and
answered, “closer than friends.”
“Closer than friends? What’s it then? We’re not lovers or family. Can’t you make it clear?” Casimir
insisted on asking without giving up.
He seemed to want her to make it clear.
Amanda didn’t respond to him at all. She stood up and strode away.
She could tell that Casimir was acting shamelessly.
Casimir hurriedly stopped her, “Please don’t go!”
“I don’t want to stay here and talk nonsense with you.” She looked back at him.
Casimir changed his expression. He didn’t mean to do it. It was just that he felt too frustrated to calm
down.
“Well. Please do me a favour. I want to do the DNA test with that man. If he was truly my father, I would
consider recognizing him.”
Looking at him, Amanda said, “I never expect you could be so irresolute and hesitant.”
“That’s not true. I just don’t want to cause any misunderstandings. In case we’re not blood-related, it
will be so embarrassing.”
Amanda thought for a moment. It wouldn’t cause Abbott any trouble or damage his interest. She just
needed to get his DNA and do the test with Casimir. Hence, she agreed, “Okay. Will you join my dinner
with him tonight?”
“Yes, I will,” said Casimir.
“Why did you change your mind?” He made her so confused
“I’ll just meet him tonight. I won't recognize him,” answered Casimir.
Amanda nodded, “Okay. I respect your decision.”
Meanwhile, J&G Group.
Atwood rushed back to the company as soon as he could. Before entering the office, he asked the
secretary, “Has anyone come to meet Mr. James earlier?”
The secretary shook her head, “Not really. Mr. James has just come back.”
Atwood overheard Stanford’s voice on the phone, which didn’t sound quite pleasant. He asked again,
“What did he look like when coming back?”
The secretary shook her head again, “He hasn’t smiled for quite a long time, has he?”
At least, since J&Y Group was founded, she had never seen Stanford smile.
Atwood nodded. It was the truth, “Yeah, he hasn’t smiled for a long time.”
It was because Stanford was unhappy.
He had lost the person who could make him happy.
Atwood slightly heaved a sigh. He turned around and walked to the CEO’s office. At the door, he raised
his hand and knocked on it. Stanford asked him to enter. Then he pushed the door and walked in.
When he arrived in front of Stanford’s desk, Atwood was about to ask him why he had called. Stanford NôvelDrama.Org © content.
asked, “Have you gone to find Simona Flores earlier?”
Atwood was taken aback, feeling quite surprised that Stanford could know it so soon.
“Yes, I have.”
“Why?” Stanford looked up at him.
Atwood pressed his lips, “I feel you’re quite happy when being with her, so I wanted to ask her to come
to our company for the sake of business. Then you’ll have a chance to meet.”
Stanford raised his eyebrows, “Am I happy when being with her?”
Atwood nodded hard, “Besides Mrs. James, she’s the first woman who could make you interested.”
Stanford slightly leaned back and looked up, “Atwood, I feel that she has secrets.”
Atwood widened his eyes, “What secrets?”
“I don’t know yet.” Stanford’s voice was deep, “You used to look into her background. Don’t you think
her past is way too clean?”
Atwood thought for a moment and answered, “Yes. It’s pretty clean.”
It was because he didn’t find anything. Except for the content on the CV, he couldn’t find anything else.
“Atwood, please call the cleaners to clean the villa.” Stanford stood up and walked to the French
window. With his back to Atwood, he added, “I hope she is the person that I’ve guessed.”
Atwood was obviously taken aback. He was surprised that Stanford suddenly asked him to clean up
the villa. After all, since Amanda had passed away, Stanford never went there again.
“Mr. James... What do you mean? Do you suspect Simona Flores is Amanda Nelson?”
“Her mother’s maiden name is Flores.” Stanford turned to look at Atwood, “Don’t you think it’s related?”
Atwood still couldn’t believe it. However, after thinking twice, he realized that it was related, “Haven’t
you confirmed that Mrs. James truly passed away?” he asked.
They had confirmed that Amanda had died.
According to the police, she was gone as well.
Stanford only had the intuition. He didn’t have solid evidence to prove that Simona was Amanda.
“Just do what I said.” Stanford turned around. Obviously, he didn’t want to continue with the topic.
“Well...” Atwood hesitated for a moment and said, “Mr. James, I have something to report to you.”
