i since Amanda had heard this adjective from others.
“Thank you. If I need another tattoo, I’ll be back. You’re skilled, and I’ll recommend you to my friends who might need your services.”
did, striling brightly at the girl flently.
As she walked out of the tattoo shop, the wind chimes on the revolving glass door tinkled pleasantly.
Amanda rummed around and took a look.
It was as it she saw a hary version of her past self waving at her.
“Goodlove
Amanda marred silently.
From now on, in her life, she would just move forward and never look back
Timon
Time flew by in the blink of an eye.
Six years had passed in a flash.
Adam and the Hacker family still had no news about Amanda’s whereabouts.
Even with the two families‘ extensive connections in Timon, if someone truly wanted to disappear from the face of the earth, they couldn’t be found.
Moreover, Amanda had been taken in by the National Security Section.
The headquarters of the Powell Group.
Adam had visibly lost a lot of weight
Just then, the phone rang
Whoever called his office directly either had news about Amanda’s whereabouts or from prison.
Adam hoped it was the former
He rubbed his tired forehead and answered the phone.
“Mr. Powell, Ms. Grace’s mental state is really poor. She’s been acting crazy every day, and now she’s even started hurting people. The doctor suggests it would be better to transfer her to a mental hospital. What do you think?”
The prison warden’s voice was cautious.
“Is she really crazy or just faking it?” Adam was getting impatient.
After all, two years ago, Grace had faked being “crazy” once.
“This time it’s real. I had the doctor conduct a thorough examination and tests on Ms. Grace.”
“Okay, I’ll send a car to pick her up.”
After saying this, A
Adam quickly ended the call.
For the past six years, he had been instructing people to take special care of Grace in prison.
What Amanda had endured before, Grace had also gone through.
The Hacker family had no objections to this.
It seemed that after that day six years ago, they had completely given up on Grace.
Human relationships could be so cold.
Perhaps Amanda, il she knew, would sigh too.

Adam lowered his eyes and looked at the photo on the table.
In the photo, Amanda was extremely thin, wearing wrinkled clothes and with an expressionless face.
“Where are you, Amanda? I know that only when everyone suffers the same pain as you did can it be considered an apology. But if you don’t come back, how can I atone for what I owe you?”
Adam gently stroked the image of Amanda’s brows and eyes in the photo, filled with endless regret and loneliness.
At that moment, Amanda had already returned to Timon.
After completing the National Security Section’s mission ahead of schedule, she was allowed to pursue her affairs.
So Amanda started painting portraits for people.
This time, she had come back with Yvette Wolfe, a famous agent of painters..
Amanda’s paintings of nature exuded a sense of tranquility.
They were both vivid and mysterious.
She had to attend a dinner party that night.
When she stood here again, her mood was completely different from six years ago.
Time was the best healer, and Amanda had undergone a complete transformation.
In the hotel.
Adam had been invited by a business partner to attend a welcome party for emerging artists in the art world.
However, when his eyes met those of the banquet’s main guest
The champagne in his hand suddenly slipped and crashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.
Adam thought he was seeing a hallucination
“Amanda?” He stared intently at Amanda’s profile.
Yvette noticed his gaze and asked, “Amanda, do you know him?”
She gestured for Amanda to look at Adam.
“I don’t know him,” Amanda said, furrowing her brows as she looked Adam up and down, answering indifferently.
Adam stepped forward. “I’m Adam, and you’re Amanda. How could we not know each other?”
Amanda raised her chin, looking noble and alood.
“Sir, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. There are many people with the same name in this world.”
