Maggie smiled, "Idiot, don't be so serious. You can like whoever you like and dislike whoever you don't
like. You don't have to worry so much."
"I don't care." Then she said worriedly, "How about you go downstairs? I don't want to go with you. I'm
afraid that I will quarrel and even fight with her if I stay here."
"Don't worry. I'm here. She can't hurt you." Maggie patted her stomach. "Everything is for the child."
When your belly bulges, there must be a lot of fat. However, she rolled her eyes and said, "I'm more
worried about my beating her to death. Anyway, I'm not the vice president of the An Group, and it
doesn't bring any pressure on me to beat her to death."
Maggie said, "Just be more harmonious and take care of my son."
Amanda looked at her flat stomach and decided to hide the truth for Maggie later.
There was another knock on the door. It was Henry. He said, "honey, go downstairs."
"Okay." Maggie got up from the bed. But when Henry saw her, he didn't feel surprised. Instead, he held
her hand enthusiastically and said, "Don't go back for a long time. Stay here with Maggie for a few
days. Don't make her feel bored."
Maggie coldly snorted, "Where do you want to go? I tell you, stop thinking about it. Work for me!"
Henry murmured, "The most poisonous woman in the world!"
Amanda looked at them, she felt more and more like a couple. However, Zhao family seemed to be
very complicated. Maggie's home was very simple, and she should not like to live such a rigorous life.
In the living room, Josie was sitting with her aunt Emily. She had two sons and she is now in her early
forties, but looked very elegant and refined. She wore a navy blue and white cheongsam with a silver
fox shawl on it. Her hair was rolled up and inserted with a jade hairpin, looking like a lady in a literary
family of one hundred years ago.
"This is for you. I know you like Mr. Shi's painting. There happened to be one at an auction before, so I
bought it and sent it to you." Today, Josie wore a lemon yellow long dress with a smile on her face,
which was completely different from her usual aggressiveness. After all, since she was a child, she had
lived in Zhao family for a long time, and her aunt treated her as her daughter, and she and her aunt had
the most intimate relationship.
"It's rare to see you here, cousin." Maggie walked into the room. When she looked up, she saw the
Amanda was next to her. Her smile froze, but soon she became a little unhappy.
Maggie smiled, "Let me introduce her to you. This is my best friend, Amanda."
"Have a seat." "Just make yourself at home. No need to thank me," she added
"You're welcome. It's very good here. Miss. Josie, nice to meet you." Said Amanda with a smile.
Josie's face changed a little, but she managed to put on a smile. "Nice to meet you, Miss Amanda."
Emily blinked and stood up. "I'm going to make a cup of coffee for you. There's a new cup of coffee
here. Josie, help me."
Josie immediately stood up and followed her.
In a casual manner, Henry sat on the sofa, holding his arm and laughing. "You women are so tired of
talking." Although he didn't know what had happened, he could tell by such obvious signs that
something must have happened between Amanda and Josie.
"I didn't know that she is Maggie's good friend. I was so angry with the fact," she added.
"It turns out to be just about this." "That's the matter of the Xia clan, not that of the Zhao clan. You don't
need to worry about it."
Josie seldom hesitated when she heard what her mother said. She never cared about the things she
didn't care.
Emily patted her on the hand and sighed, "Silly girl, what aunt did is aunt's thing. You are not a member
of Zhao's family, so we Xia's family should do what we want to do. We should not only do it ourselves,
but all of you should bow down Zhao's family to me."
Josie smiled and said, "You know, my aunt loves me the most. But I'm afraid he'll be angry. After all,
she's his wife."
"You don't know him. Who can bind a wild horse? Besides, you don't know him before. It's okay." After
making everything clear, Emily asked her to be relieved and took the coffee back.
"Come on, have a taste." The maid came soon with the coffee which was provided by the maid. There
was no milk or sugar for Amanda, which made her drink coffee very often. Sitting aside, Maggie was
surprised to find that she could still drink such a strong coffee. "Wow, you have a strong taste, my dear.
I can't believe you can drink it."
"I prefer the bitter taste. It tastes more real." Amanda proposed.
Henry felt sorry for Amanda who tried to hide her family and husband as well as her first baby.
Maggie smiled, "you are so ambitious. I don't like it. Please give me more sugar."
"Coffee is a bit too thick, so don't drink too much. "Emily added.
Maggie nodded.
They were just chatting with each other while drinking coffee. Emily was curious about Amanda. She
remembered that the lady of the An's group was modest and low-key, compared with those who liked to
socialize. She remembered clearly that the girl didn't say anything to offer the invaluable jade bracelet
at a charity party.
"It's so generous of you to offer such a bracelet, Miss Amanda. I attended the auction of your bracelet.
But for Nicholas's higher bid, the bracelet would have been on Maggie's hand by now." Emily smiled.
"What? This bracelet had been sold at two auctions? Which time did you refer to? " Amanda asked.
Emily shook her head with a smile. "Yes, I have bought it twice. I haven't bought it for both times. But it
was bought by Mr. Nicholas. Did he transfer it to you again?"
Amanda nodded with a smile, "Grandpa is really good."
"Yes, It is also right for the don to favor his granddaughter." Emily said with a smile.
Henry took a big drink and then asked with his head askew, "by the way, I heard that you were hit."
'How did he know?' she wondered? Did he go there that day? No. He was supposed to be with Maggie
that day, not at the heights. The Zhao family' must have gone to the party, so he knew.
"Really?" Josie didn't know what had happened. Upon hearing this, she noticed that Amanda's face
changed slightly. With a triumphant smile, she asked, "What's going on? Why is there still someone
slapping Mrs. Amanda? " She had seen many Cinderella marry into rich families. Everyone was
cautious and condescending. But Amanda was so arrogant and went too far this time. Couldn't anyone
stand to teach her a lesson? That was really a piece of good news.
