Chapter 323 A Community With Shared Interests

"You can't do that now. I'm busy with the business of the An Group. If you come over here, Nicholas will be unhappy. He will only think that I'm too selfish. Wait for me back," Lionel replied immediately.

She knew it was not a proper time to meet him. After all, she was a member of the Xia Group. Besides, Lionel was very busy now. Even if she came over to help him, it would only delay his time and make trouble. She said considerately, "Okay, I will go to visit grandpa more often. When I went to see him today, he was still lying on the bed. I sat there and watched for a while. He is really old, so he can't speak. He seldom wakes up. I was waiting for the doctor from the Zhao family to check again."

Lionel cared about his grandpa very much. Fortunately, the Xia family and the Zhao family were relatives by marriage. It was more efficient for Josie to do that than the members of the Gu family. Moreover, she knew how to take care of his grandpa at home, which made Lionel feel warm. He could not help saying, "Josie, thank you."

"What are you talking about? I'm his grandson's wife. I should do what I should do to help him," Josie added.

"No, you helped me so much. If I took all of these things, I would be exhausted now. You always help me when I need you most. You're my strongest backing. Josie, it's really lucky for me to have you marry me," Lionel said sincerely.

Hearing what he said on the other side of the phone, Josie's ears softened. She had never imagined that one day, Lionel would say so many sincere words to her. She could not help but laugh in her heart, and her ecstasy was suppressed.

"Clang! Clang!" Jimmy wanted to go there with Lionel. So he was waiting for Lionel. But Lionel didn't show up. So he came here to find Lionel.

"There is someone at the door for me. I have to go. Good night," Lionel said to Josie.

"But I miss you so much. Tell me good night when you come back," said Josie.

"I don't know when I'll be

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

ophie didn't know how to persuade him. Suddenly, she remembered what Nicholas said to Mr. Darren. As a flash of inspiration, she immediately contacted her brother across the country. It was already midnight, so Amanda must have been asleep. But her brother was an experienced assistant who stayed on call 24 hours a day. Even if he fell asleep, he could get up in the first second when the phone rang.

When Darren couldn't get through to Amanda, he had wanted to call the landline phone in the manor directly. Since Gregorio was his grandfather's assistant, he had a lot of rights in the manor. But as Mr. Darren's assistant, Sophie had no rights in the manor. So if she called the servant to inform Amanda, the servant might ask for Nicholas' permission.

It was faster and more convenient for her to call Gregorio.

"Hello, brother, help me find Amanda." Hiding in the bathroom, she made a call.

"What are you going to do so late? Why doesn't Mr. Darren call her by himself?" Having been instructed by Nicholas, Gregorio said vigilantly as he heard it was his sister who asked him question.

"Mr. Darren is drinking alone. I don't know what's wrong with him. Amanda is the only one who can make him happy now. Hurry up," Sophie urged.

She didn't know that her carelessness exposed Darren's situation.
