Chapter 989 Tonight at Eight O'clock
Joan honestly explained he went to the country to Matthew, and he also told him what happened in
Thailand before, “I think he'll soon be able to get out of it.”
Joan was worried that Stanford would go to Amanda.
Although Matthew was not in Thailand at that time, he knew what had happened between Amanda and
Stanford.
Joan said straightforwardly, “I hope you could intervene personally in this.”
Joan wanted Matthew to intervene in this to let Stanford give up on Amanda.
There was an expression in Matthew that Joan could not read, and he seemed to think about what
Joan had just said, but he refused to talk to Joan about Amanda's private matters. Even if Joan knew it,
Matthew did not want to talk about what had happened before.
Joan also realized that he might have put his foot in it. After all, it was their family matter, and it
concerned Matthew's daughter's matter. Matthew certainly did not want to talk with people about his
daughter's private life.
He said apologetically, “Sorry, I...”
Matthew raised his hand and gestured he did not need to say anything.
Joan knew that Matthew might not want to continue the topic, so he talked about his own company.
Joan did not like to do business, but he was the only heir of the family. He had to bear all the burdens
alone.
He studied in military college, so he seemed to have no great facility to manage the business. Before
this, he had hired a person, who was top personnel in business management, to handle the company
affairs. However, the person was involved in the last incident, and Joan could no longer have the
person to handle the company business. So he had nobody to take care of the company business.
He knew Matthew's background, so he wanted Matthew to give himself an idea or recommend
someone to himself.
Joan thought that the family business was part of the family. So he had the responsibility to protect and
run the business left by his ancestors.
“The project that Mr. Baron had a joint venture in country D was very successful. You've got a lot of top
personnel around you, Mr. Nelson,” Joan said.
Abbott had been working for Matthew for so many years. Otherwise, Matthew would not be rest
assured to leave everything about the company to Abbott to handle.
As time went by, Abbott was also getting more and more tactful and ran the company well.
Although Matthew did not care about the company matters anymore, he still paid attention to the big
projects that the company followed up.
Indeed, they had performed the project well last time, and both sides got a high rate of return.
Joan hoped to learn some skills to do business from Matthew, and he also wanted to ask for advice on
the things he encountered in business management. So the time passed unknowingly after the talk.
Joshua went to the company, while Bonnie and Amanda went to the mall. They went to buy some
things that were needed for the wedding. Bonnie had not bought the things that women should prepare
for the wedding. It just happened that Amanda returned home this time, so Bonnie wanted to take
Amanda out for relaxation.
Amanda was Joshua's elder sister, and she spoiled Bonnie so much since Bonnie was her future
younger sister-in-law.
A driver, who was good at fighting, followed behind the two.
He could help them carry their things and also protect them.
“Aren't you buying the things you need for the wedding? How come all the things you bought are for
Jos?”
They shopped a lot, but basically, all Bonnie bought was for Joshua.
“I think it's suitable for him,” Bonnie smiled.
Amanda also smiled and felt happy for her brother within.
She could tell that Bonnie was always thinking of Joshua.
“I need to go to the bathroom. You continue to shop, and I'll come back to you later,” Amanda said.
Bonnie said yes.
Amanda sat on the chair in the mall to rest for a while after going to the bathroom. She felt a little hurt
on her legs since she had walked a lot.
She massaged her calves.
When she got up to find Bonnie, a dark shadow appeared in front of her. She raised her head and saw
Stanford standing in front of her.
Instinctively, she took a step backwards.
Stanford saw her simple action and felt like a thorn in the heart.
She used to like to pester him so much, and she just wanted to stay away from him when she saw him
now.
“Let's talk,” Stanford looked at her calmly and said.
“What do we have to talk about? I've made it clear that we have no more relation. I think you've seen
that I have a boyfriend, Joan. You have seen him, haven't you?” Amanda tried hard to suppress her
emotions, “Stanford, the Stanford I knew is proud and noble. When did you become like to pester
someone?”
Stanford did not care what she said, and he even showed a little humility, “I just want to talk to you
properly.”
“Sure, go ahead,” Amanda did not want him to appear in front of her again, so she said in a
compromising manner, “How about you disappear from my life after we talk?”
Amanda agreed to talk to Stanford because she did not want him to appear in front of her parents.
They would remind of what had happened before if they saw him.
Amanda did not want the people around her to worry and hurt again because of what happened to her.
Joshua would beat him to death if he knew that Stanford had come to City C.
Stanford clenched her hands that were settling at his side, a little by little into fists, “Okay, but I'll choose
the place.”
Amanda said with a sarcastic and contemptuous tone, “Every dog has his day, Stanford.”
“I'll wait for you at Room 806, Double Tree Hotel, tonight at eight,” he turned around and left after
saying that.
Amanda stood on the same spot and looked at the back that she chased after in the past. Her
expression was no longer passionate and left only frosty.
“Amanda,” Bonnie ran over to her.
“I'll wait for you at Room 806, Double Tree Hotel, tonight at eight,” he turned around and left after
saying that.
Amanda stood on the same spot and looked at the back that she chased after in the past. Her
expression was no longer passionate and left only frosty.
“Amanda,” Bonnie ran over to her.
