He scrapped against the leather with restless irritation
Damn it, Jeffrey why the hell would you go after her? A heartless woman he cursed himself
But the thought of hitting another bar or club didnât appeal to him anymore so he just drove back to his
apartment.
Elysian Country, the Lopez Estate
Heatherâs mother had to seek Amandaâs help because Heather was nowhere to be found
Amanda answered the phone with ease, 1 have no idea where that girl has run off for Itâs been ages
since weâve spokenâ
âIâm afraid somethingâs happened to herr
âIt shouldnât be. Maybe she just needed to clear her head so she took a little trip to unwind. Donât worry
about it
After offering a few comforting words, Amanda hung up the phone.
She called over the butler with a fick of her wrist, âWhere did the master go?
âHeâs out said something about hitting the golf course
Amanda raised an eyebrow. âSo he wonât be back for hile?â
âSeems likelyâ The butler nodded. Shall I call him for you, maâam?
âNo need. If he gets back before I do, just tell him I went shopping and give me a ring. Donât let onâ
The butler didnât dare to press for more He responded and promptly arranged for the chauffeur to take
Amanda away
Amanda dressed down in casual wear. She donned a hat and a mask to cover her face, and also
instructed the driver to take a few extra turns around downtown before heading to the final destination
It was a secluded house in the suburbs, guarded and with windows nailed shut so tight not even a fly
could escape
Upon seeing the car arrive, the guard on duty bowed respectfully
âMrs. Lopezâ
âHow is she?â Amanda stepped out of the car and scanned the interior
âSame as always, ranting and raving. Sheâs been eating well, though. Weâve followed your orders and
kept her indoors.â
Amanda waved them aside to stand clear
Thatâs right, the one confined inside was Heather
When they had sent Everett off to Swevia Country they had Heather detained and placed under house
arrest right here
Because Jonathan had forbidden his wife to visit, Amanda had to sneak in to see her
Amanda entered alone. She didnât worry about Heather causing any harm, there was another layer of
iron bars keeping her securely locked away
Heather stirred at the sound of someone entering Upon seeing Amanda, she immediately stood up.
Her eyes lit up as if she saw the Silverline, âAmanda, you finally came! Please, let me out?
Amanda frowned at Heather. Her tone was laced with disapproval and irritation.
âHow can I let you out? Youâve hurt my son!â
âAmanda. I was in total despair I loved him so much that I wanted to kill him and then die with him!â
Heatherâs hands clutched the bars. Her appearance was haggard and disheveled from the lack of
sunlight.
âHavenât I always told you to keep your cool? Why donât you ever listen? Now look whatâs happened. I
canât help you anymore. The fact that youâre still alive is the last favor I can do for youâ Amanda said
firmly âYou saved my life once, and Iâve repaid you many times over Weâre even. But the moment you
laid hands on Everett, I canât help you anymoreâ
âWhat are you saying?
âGive up on the idea of being a Lopez by marriage. Everettâs father is already looking for a new suitor
