Contract Marriage With Mysterious President novel Chapter 317

Amy was thinking why Allison didn't come, so she was staring blankly at somewhere. Eliana nudged her, trying to make her concentrated and reminding her that they needed to deal with Philip later.

"Mr. Philip, why did your wife not come? I guess you should come together. It's such a good chance to see us suffered. Isn't it a pity that she's not coming?" Amy asked Philip.

"You mean Alison? Oh, she's not my wife. She's just my assistance. She pretends to be my wife for work. I pay her for that." Philip hurriedly clarified their relationship.

"Please have more. Is there another old saying? 'Each grain is hard.' What a pity is to waste these dishes." Philip was persuading them to eat more.

He moved the delicious dishes towards them.

Amy thought that it was being bad to herself that she didn't eat, since she had already been here. Philip was detestable, but it was not the fault of those dishes. Thus, she started eating.

Noticing that, Eliana also began having the meal. She was hungry at this time. She found Philip's old face and weird voice became tolerable when she was enjoying the dishes.

The dishes were consumed as soon as they started eating. They both held the belief that eating was the top priority no matter what happened.

They had the dishes but not the wine. They were cautious about Philip who was not a good man.

After eating up the meal, they took a sip of tea. Then, they were staring at Philip, waiting for him to put on a show.

"Have you finished off yet?" Philip found them almost eat up the dishes, so he put down the chopsticks as if he was about to begin the show.

"Yes. Please tell us what you've planned to say." Eliana leaned on the chair, drinking tea and thinking about how to deal with him.

"Well, let me start with my story. Three years, I met Mr. and Mrs. Newell in France. I guess you can remember that, Mrs. Newell." Philip talked about things three years ago.

"Of course I remember that absurd thing." Eliana tried hard to control her temper and not to slap him on his face when answering him.

"Oh, you find it absurd? I don't think so. Heroes love beauties. Though I can't be deemed as a hero, I'm a real man at least." Philip didn't get mad about her words.

"I will help you out, if you agree to my demand." Philip kept checking Amy out.

Amy was not a fool. She had guessed what he was up for.

"Mr. Philip, it's a slim chance that we will accede to your request. We will take care of the problem on our own. We're going if you have nothing else to say. Eliana grabbed Amy's hand. She was going to throw up for even just having the thought that a dirty old man coveted her daughter. Her daughter was an excellent woman while Philip was older than her and not long for him to be buried in the grave.

"Do you really not give it a second thought? You can't afford that compensation in such a short time. If you can't afford it, the Newell Group will be auctioned." Philip got anxious seeing them leaving.

"I won't do what you want even at the cost of mortgaging the group." Eliana left holding her daughter's hand.

"You will come back and beg me. I don't think you will let the group go bankrupt. What a cocky woman!" Philip hissed, watching them leaving.

Three years ago, he ran into Amy in a party. He was attracted by her disposition and appearance at the first sight. Later, he learned that she didn't with any man and became eager to have her.

He told Mr. Newell in earnest that he wanted to marry Amy. Hearing it, Mr. Newell were about to laugh. He made up an excuse that Amy had married, but her husband didn't stay around.

However, Philip had been investigating Amy for a long time and found that she didn't have any contact with any man. So he realized that Mr. Newell lied to him because he thought lowly of him.

After Amy came back to China, he followed her here. He held a grudge against Mr. Newell, so he set up a trap for Amy to destroy the Newell Group.

"Mom, how did he know me?" Amy had never noticed Philip, only hearing his name from her father. She thought Philip was a good friend of her father.

"It was at the wine party. He fell for you at the first sight. He mentioned it to your dad and your dad turned him down immediately. I have no idea that he would hate us for that. That's why he is now taking revenge on us." Eliana briefly explained what had happened.

Amy didn't know the reason for all this until now. 'How awful Philip is! It's not wrong to like a person, but it's a shame to ruin others.'

"Mom, what should we do now?" Amy got headache for it. It was her that led to the difficulty for the Newell Group. It might cause many people losing their jobs. She couldn't let it happen.

"It'll be okay. If we can't save the group, we just let it go bankrupt, you go back to France with me and run the business there." Eliana was protective of her child. She could give up everything but her daughter.

Her words gave Amy a warm feeling. She always had the feeling that she had a good mom during the five years that she lost her memories. Now she found that her mom was more than good. She was great. She was willing to give up everything for her.

Eliana was still comforting Amy after they were home. She asked Amy to have a rest since she had been exhausted recently.

Amy knew surely that her mom asking her to stay at home was because she was going to find solutions on her own and tried to stop her worrying.

Amy kept tossing and turning on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, though she wanted to.

'What should I do? It's all my fault if the Newell Group go bankrupt. My father appointed me to be in charge of the group, but I'm going to let him down now.'

'I can't sit still. I have to make up for my own mistake. I can't let others suffered because of me.'

Amy made her decision and got up immediately.
