Chapter 217 Did a Man Hurt You?
Looking at her devastated expression, the bartender asked, “Did you get hurt by a man?”
Amanda sensually leaned against the counter and snorted. “I didn’t get hurt by a man. I
hurt myself. I got hurt by my stupidity and was thinking, why am I so stupid? It’s no
wonder why I was played by him four
years ago.”
When the bartender heard that, he exclaimed, “7! Another beautiful lady heartbroken
because of a
man…
“I told you, a man didn’t hurt me; my stupidity did. I’m angry at myself for being so
stupid…” While speaking, she began to sob.
“Alright, alright. I was wrong. Please don’t cry.” The bartender was shocked to realize the
drunk woman was not to be messed with.
At that moment, the men waiting around all came to flirt with Amanda because they saw
she was quite drunk and could easily be brought away.
“Miss, are you drunk? Why don’t I send you home?”
“Miss, let me bring you home. I would very much like to get to know you…”
Seemingly drunk, Amanda looked at the two men and demanded weakly, “Who are you?
Do I even know you? Why would I go with you? Go away..
Looking at the two men standing on both sides of her, the bartender shook his head
helplessly. He had expected this because it was hard for beautiful women not to attract
men with ill intentions.
At that moment, a gentle but deep voice interrupted them. I’ll take her home.”
Amanda looked in the direction of the voice and saw a blurry face. No matter how hard
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe tried to look. there seemed to be several figures overlapping each other. She weakly
asked, “Who… are you? Go away…
The two men could not help but question the man too. “She’s right. Who are you? How can
you cut our line? We came here first!”
Unexpectedly, the man helped Amanda to her feet and replied, “I’m your boss. Is there a
problem with.
that?”
The two men looked at each other, speechless. Then, they sensibly left.
My boss? After being helped to her feet, the dizzy Amanda wondered, My boss? Who is
that? Why don’t I remember?
With a grim expression, Simon helped Amanda leave the bar. He wanted to see her for
several days now but could not find the chance. When he came to the bar with his friends
and saw Amanda in such skimpy -clothes and with other men hovering over her, he was
instantly furious and stormed over.
After leaving the bar, he discovered she wasn’t even wearing shoes, and she seemed
injured because there was blood on her feet. So, he picked her up into his arms and
carried her to his car.
“Who are you? Why are you taking me away…” Amanda repeated the question again and
again as though. she was not tired of it.
Looking at her flushed cheeks, Simon patiently replied, “I’m your boss.”
“My boss… What’s that? Is it edible? Wait, I have to buy strawberry shortcake home for my
son. He likes that…”
At the mention of her son, Simon became even angrier and chastised, “You still remember
Aiden, huh? You know he’s waiting for you at home, yet you came to the bar to get drunk.
Amanda, how did you end up like this? What has got you so worked up?”
Simon wanted to coax out the truth while she was drunk, but all he heard was her even
breathing. She had fallen asleep…
Looking at her, he felt hopeless and placed her in the back seat before coming to the front
and driving.
away.
Meanwhile, at Galaxy Bay, since Simon did not know where Amanda was staying, he had
no choice but to bring her to his home.
He placed her on the soft bed and went to make her some peppermint tea to sober up.
When he returned, he saw she was still sleeping and mumbling constantly
“Why am I so stupid… Why…”
“So, Stephanie is the young lady of the Allegra Group…
“Elias, you sc*mbag. You’re a b’stard. Get… get away from me. I would never surrender
Aiden to you…”
“B*stard… Sc*mbag… Serves you right, Amanda Bailey. You deserve it. Why are you so
stupid? Why did you believe him…”
Listening to her drunken mumbles, Simon could not guess what had happened, but he did
hear her say a name, Stephanie. Stephanie Allegra from the Allegra Group? Does Amanda
know her? It was said that Stephanie kept a low profile and was pampered by her father
like a princess. He basically isolated his daughter from the outside world, afraid she might
get tricked by others.
Amanda finally fell silent, seeming to have fallen asleep.
Meanwhile, Simon sat on the side of the bed with the peppermint tea. He helped her sit up
in bed and fed her some tea, hoping she would sober up a little or at least not have a
headache when she woke up
tomorrow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, Amanda’s phone began ringing. However, the frustrated Amanda had switched
her phone to silent mode, so Simon did not notice the phone and missed the call.
It was a call from Selina.

At Northern No. 1, after having called Amanda several times but could not reach her,
Selina had no idea. what was going on. Didn’t she say she was attending a banquet? Why
isn’t she home….
Selina was inexplicably worried and glanced toward the sleeping Aiden in the kid’s room.
After thinking about it, she was still worried and dialed Elias’ number, which he answered
after a long
while.
The man’s tired voice was heard from the phone. He had returned to his company for an
emergency meeting after the banquet. “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Winters, Amanda said she was going to a banquet and would be home soon, but she
hasn’t returned. I’m rather worried. Can you help me look for her?”
Elias was silent for a moment. “She hasn’t returned home?”
“Yes, so I was hoping you could help me search for her
“I understand. I’ll go look for her.”
After hanging up, Elias instantly felt his tiredness disappear. Was he too harsh with his
words back at the basement parking lot and hurt Amanda too hard? Why hadn’t she
returned home?
The man quickly thought of places Amanda might be and where to look….
“Mr. Winters, I’ll send you home to rest, Yacob offered. Since the emergency meeting had
ended, he thought they could finally head home to rest.
Much to his surprise, he heard Elias say, “I’m not going home. I have to find Amanda.
She’s gone missing.”
Yacob was rendered speechless. What? Amanda disappeared again?
He was breaking down inside because it seemed like tonight was yet another sleepless
night for him.
