Chapter 897 No Grudges

“You have dealt with Lindsay twice, with the first time taking place one year ago and the second time
just yesterday. You even lost two of your men last time, am I right?” Amanda described what she had
learnt before.

However, she didn’t explicitly state that she had learnt about those on her own. She purposely wanted
this man to think that it was Lindsay who had spilt the beans.

She wanted to make this man feel that Lindsay wasn’t someone who could keep secrets.

If there were any future dealings, this man would have thought twice before proceeding. However, this
was not her aim when she came here.

“Lindsay is giving you one million dollars this time, but I will give you twice the amount.” Amanda pulled
one of the chairs by the table and settled down on it. “Do we proceed?”

Casimir shot a glance at her and then simply stood behind the seated Amanda, looking like he was her
underling.

At this moment, it was paramount that someone had to boost Amanda’s image and prestige.

The man studied her for some time and concluded that this girl really had some guts considering her
tender age.

“What do you want from me?” The man’s face remained unperturbed, and his tone was monotonous.
Despite that, Amanda knew that she had aroused his interest.

“What I want is something very simple, and it won’t incur any losses on your side. I just need you to put
in some words for me.”

The man narrowed his eyes, “Money is not all that I care about.”



Amanda smiled, “Then what are the other factors?”

“Whether this business will go through depends entirely on my whim.” The man instinctively knew that
this girl was a completely different animal compared to Lindsay. She was obviously targeting Lindsay
this time.

From what she was implying through her words, although she didn’t make anything clear, he was smart
enough to understand that this girl was implying that Lindsay wasn’t someone reliable and her mouth
was not zipped shut. She was saying that Lindsay couldn’t be trusted with secrets.

Nevertheless, he still had dealt with Lindsay twice, and contrary to that he knew nothing about this girl
in front of her.

He was talking about her origins.

He had investigated Lindsay and found that she was just a naïve girl who fawned over guys, nothing
more. Lindsay would never be a threat to him, or else he would never have dealt with her multiple
times.

Amanda raised her brows and felt that this man wasn’t someone who could be bought over with mere
words. However, according to her father’s words, she knew that she could never reveal all of her cards
when engaging in dealing with anyone.

Even if she had nothing up her sleeves, she still had to pretend that she was a threat.

She must let the other party wonder about her true worth and what kind of perks she was holding.

She leaned back slightly and appeared lazy as she placed a hand on the table, “Do you have any idea
who am I?”

The man smiled, “Who are you?”



“The first time you corroborated with Lindsay, she had killed someone. You do know about that, don’t
you?” Her tone was as light and nonchalant as it could ever be.

The smile on that man’s face seemed fabricated and it seemed like it was on the verge of dissolving.
That matter did indeed involve the life of someone.

If he were not careful, a lawsuit would be waiting for him. It had been a year, and just as he was slowly
letting down his guard, why would this girl suddenly bring this up?

“Who are you, really? Don’t tell me that you were supposed to die a long time ago.” The man glared at
her with a stern gaze.

Amanda shrugged, “What if I told you that I am just like you said?”

“I don’t believe you. That woman was dead, and if I were not wrong, even her bones would have turned
into ashes by now.” At that time, he had investigated thoroughly and made sure that she was indeed a
dead woman.

“Are you really sure about that? That she’s dead?” Amanda asked with a sly smile.

In fact, she didn’t know the identity of that one man and woman who had died in that fire. She also
didn’t know why did that man who used to harm her end up disappearing from the face of the earth.

However, they didn’t know about her conversation with Lindsay at that time too.

With how things were looking, she could have said anything and it would have sounded like the truth.

There were a lot of inexplicable aspects to that incident. Judging from the fact that her death had been
shoved under the carpet so secretively, everyone must have thought that she was really dead.

As for those who had harmed her, besides Lindsay, the other perpetrator had gone missing.



She didn’t know what was up with that, but for now, she had to use it to her benefit.

“Don’t you ever once wonder about the strange disappearance of your two underlings? You could
never even find them anymore, dead or alive.”

The man’s face remained unfazed, “You know about this?”

“Of course,” Amanda said carelessly, “Because I was the one who killed them.”

The man finally looked startled as he shot up from his chair, “You have killed one of my men?”

Amanda continued to be seated and her posture didn’t even change one bit. She slightly looked up and
met his eyes, “They were your men, but they were trying to kill me.”

“They were just carrying out their orders. The one who wanted your death was Lindsay.” The man
argued animatedly.

Amanda smiled, “Those executioners were equally guilty.”

“Wait, how did you accomplish that?” The man seemed to feel worried.

It seemed that this girl knew too much.

“You should know who Lindsay wanted to bring harm to, shouldn’t you?”

“Of course, that person is the heir to the WY Group and the only daughter of Matthew Nelson. Between
her two elder brothers, one is the president of the JK Group in City C, and the other is seemingly a
Colonel in the army while just being a 23-year-old man. She is the apple of their eyes, the one
garnering all of the loves in the world.”

Naturally, back then he wouldn’t have known that the one Lindsay wanted to mess with was that heir. If
he knew about that, he wouldn’t have cooperated with Lindsay in the first place.



He only knew about this news afterwards, and everything was in a state of calm even after that
incident. The police had announced that the heir had killed herself, and no further investigations were
carried out. Slowly but surely, things began to die down.

At that time, he used to think her family must have believed the claim that her daughter had committed
suicide. That must be the reason they decided not to dig further. However, come to think of it, it was
their precious daughter who had died, so it would be strange if a meticulous and massive investigation
never ensued.

The police only announced the suicide, and nothing more came after that.

The man began to panic as he studied her nervously. From what he was seeing, this girl didn’t look a
lot like that young missus from back then.

“You…”

“Have you finally understood everything?” She leaned forward, “Don’t be so shocked, now. Plastic
surgery is all the rage nowadays. I simply reinvented myself with plastic surgery.”

“Are you the one who made them disappear without a trace? Did you make it so that nobody would
have uncovered anything even if they tried?” The man seemed to still have doubts, but in his heart,
something conclusive had taken shape.

He entertained the possibility that the two of them were long dead, but nothing came out of his
investigation at all which could neither prove that they were alive or dead. They simply disappeared
without a trace.

He used to hear about a rumour that Matthew had a connection in the police station who was later on
promoted and being transferred away.



They had planted their men in the police station.

It was not the most impossible thing to cover up the truth.

Amanda smiled again, “What do you think?”

The man stumbled onto his chair and said, “Tell me, why are you looking for me?”

“I know for a fact that you aren’t the one who wanted me dead. After all, we have no grudges against
each other, and you were simply paid for your services. I know who my real nemesis is, therefore, I
need your help.”

The man could guess what she was about to say next, “You want me to deal with Lindsay?”

“She wanted me dead, you know. Is it possible that I could just forget and forgive her without doing
anything?” Amanda was straight to the point, “She would have harmed me again anyway.”

“What do you want me to do?” The man asked.

“We will be in a cooperative relationship. Of course, I won’t let you do this without any return. I won’t
leave you out of what I will promise you.”

The man flashed a smile that looked awkward, “The thing about the payment…”

“I said, you have nothing to do with what happened in the past. I know who really wanted me dead, so
now I just want to get my revenge.”

The man must have his own conclusion as to who was more frightening if her wrath was incurred, in
between Lindsay and Amanda.

The big picture became immediately cleared when he remembered his two men who had gone
missing.



“Since you are so blunt, Miss Nelson, I will show my sincerity too. Just say it, what do you want and
need me to do?”
