The Divorced Heiress

Chapter 80

"What did that man want?" Adrian asked with a frown.

It wasn't that he didn't want to share his sister with outsiders but he preferred people who were extremely caring towards her.

"Old Mrs Scott is sick. She heard that I am back in the city and she wishes to see me in the hospital." Amanda answered lost in thoughts as she thought about the past.

"Will you go?" Adrian asked with a worried look on his face, but Amanda shook her head upon hearing his question

"I trusted her more than I trusted anyone else in that family but she is also the one that hurt me the most. She asked Damien to divorce me as her birthday gift. She believed what Maric and the others said instead of believing me. I don't want anything to do with them. I want to live my life to the fullest," Amanda said as she sat down sadness in her eyes.

"If that's what you have decided then I will support you fully," Adrian said with a smile and inwardly he was pleased to hear her decision.

"Anyways, your birthday is around the corner, what's your plans?" Adrian asked as he knew that whatever they planned would be fruitless if she didn't side with them.

"What plans other than staying with my family on that day?" Amanda asked.

In the past four years, no matter how far she was from them, she would go back to be with her family on that day.

Adrian shook his head as Amanda was never interested in having parties. Cause of this, her identity was still unknown to many making them anxious as they wanted everyone to know she was their little sister, the youngest daughter of the Andersons.

"Why are you shaking your head? Do you guys have a different plan?" Amanda asked with a frown on her face. Although her family never forced her into doing anything she knew that they also held back her ideas as they didn't want her to feel sad thus they always went on with her plans.

Also, if any of them were courageous enough to tell her their thoughts, she would pretend not to hear them as there was nothing they would do to her.

"Are you willing to listen and do what we want this time round?" Adrian asked curiously when he heard her question.

Amanda smiled at him mysteriously without saying a word making Adrian growl.

"Tell me maybe I will think about it." Amanda said eventually causing a wide smile to appear on Adrian's face.

"You came back to us and you haven't even held any party. Are you really a daughter from a prominent and richest family?" Adrian asked teasingly as he knew that if he said directly what they wanted, Amanda might turn him down.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Amanda raised her left eyebrow at him as she knew what he wanted but she was surprised that he knew better than to ask directly.

"Actually, it is not that I don't like parties. It is just that I was so busy with my studies. How could I hold a party and then embarrass myself with poor etiquette?” Amanda told him.

"Does that mean that you agree with us holding a grand birthday for you?" Adrian asked as he had been waiting for the day the whole world would know that he also had a cute little sister other than the cold Arianna who behaves coldly like a man instead of being cute and gentle like the other ladies.

"No way! I hate being the center of attention! A simple birthday party will do. Please don't make a big fuss out of such a small matter! And you better listen to me 'cause if you don't, I won't show up at that party," she warned, making the happiness in Adrian's eyes diminish.

"Okay," he answered in a low tone as he was sad but after some seconds he became lively again when he realized that she had agreed to have a birthday party.

Without saying anything else, he took his phone and started telling the others that she had finally agreed. This caused a great sensation that even the old couple who was traveling around the world and Alex who had been working abroad booked flights to go home immediately. As to them, it was Amanda's first birthday and it had to be so grand so that everyone could know how much she is valued by the family.

"Amanda, do you want to invite your friends? I was told by Ace that you know have a new friend and a little niece," he said making a smile appear on Amanda's face when she was reminded of Angel.

"Yeah. That little girl is so cute. You will love her when you see her," Amanda said making Adrian even more curious.

"We can also invite the Flores and all the other businessmen and women who were oppressed by Damien because of siding with Flores. In that way, everyone will know that they have the Andersons behind them. Also, Damien will think that if he tries doing that once more," she said.

He looked at Amanda and wondered whether she was really naive or she was just pretending as there was no way that it would be a simple birthday party when she was going to invite all those people but he didn't say anything as he knew that if he did tell her that, the party might be canceled and he didn't want that.

"Also, my employees. There aren't a lot of them thus they can come. They have helped me so much. Also, they love each other and are very united," Amanda said and Adrian agreed with her as he had witnessed for himself.

Although he had been seated in the office while Damien was been humiliated, he had hacked into the CCTVs and watched for himself. He felt that some of the employees would be good at acting as they had managed to fool him also. He knew that he would have been in the same spot for believing the apology and sincerity.

"I will invite Arya and Ange myself as Arya might even refuse," Amanda said shocking Adrian as that name was so familiar to him.

"Who did you just say?" he asked making Amanda frown as she couldn't understand why her big brother had such a reaction when he had a name.

"Ayra, Angel's mom," Amanda said while observing Adrian's expressions seriously.

Adrian shook his head and removed the thought that it was the same Arya as the Arya he knew didn't have a kid.

His behavior made Amanda wonder whether there was once a woman in Adrian's life and they didn't know about it.
