- Chapter 13
- Billy was astonished too. Seeing that Sean was barely hanging on to life, he grabbed Amanda’s arm and pulled her back. Billy said, “That’s enough. Stop hitting him. He’s got legal punishment waiting for him. Jail time, debts, scrubbing dishes, and cleaning toilets. Everything Richard went through, he’ll go through too, If he dies now, that’s too easy on him.”
- Sean had just caught his breath when he heard that. He coughed up blood on the spot. Death suddenly didn’t sound so bad.
- Amanda thought about it and felt Billy had a point. She waved the kids over and strolled right into the back of the police car. Watching her figure, one of the reporters swallowed hard. “Who was she talking to just now?”
- Billy answered without missing a beat. “You imagined it.”
- The reporter frowned and replied, “No, seriously. There were ghosts, weren’t there?”
- Billy’s face turned serious as he said, “Which outlet are you with? Spreading superstitious nonsense might get you arrested.”
- Just then, Amanda poked her head out of the car and said “Oh, Officer, remember that divination I made about your wife? You still haven’t paid me for it. Don’t think you can stiff me just ‘cause I didn’t ask
- Billy mused, ‘So all that hesitation earlier was just her building up to ask for payment?”
- The reporters grumbled to themselves. And you were yelling at us for being superstitious?”
- Billy could barely keep a straight face. He grabbed Sean and hauled him up. “Wait for the police announcement,” he muttered. and made a run for it.
- By the time the reporters snapped out of it, all they could see was his car’s exhaust fumes.
- Inside the car, Billy wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally exhaled.
- Then something hit him. He turned around and asked, “Manda, how much do I owe you for that divination? T’ll pay
- Amanda casually replied. “Thirty bucks.”
- Billy blinked and asked in confusion. “But don’t you charge 300 dollars on your live stream?” Amanda leaned back in her seat and replied, “Gotta split that with the platform. They take half.”
- “So shouldn’t I be paying you 150 dollars?”
- “Nah, a discount for you. The rest covers the ride you offer me,” Amanda said, totally relaxed.
- now.”
- She never charged for money’s sake anyway. It was just to balance karma. She thought Billy was a good person, so a discount felt right.
- Touched by her thoughtfulness, Billy paid up without hesitation. Amanda’s face lit up upon receiving the money, and her eyes went soft as she smiled at him…
- Seeing the change in her expression, Billy chuckled. “Where do you live? I’ll drop you off”
- Amanda replied, “Just take me to a hotel,”
- Billy insisted, “No way. Why don’t you come to my place? My wife just said she wanted to treat you to dinner.”
- Amanda shook her head and said, “No, thanks. You already paid me for the divination, and we’re even now. I’m not going back
- with you.”
- Seeing she really didn’t want to go, Billy didn’t push it. He dropped her off at a hotel and then sped off. That killer was still out
- there, and he had work to do.
- Amanda strolled into the hotel. She was just about to hand over her ID when a voice behind her said. “Amanda.”
- Amanda didn’t even turn around. She just kept chatting with the receptionist, asking where to find some good food nearby.
- Chapter 13
- Seeing he was ignored, Wyatt was fuming, and he reached out to shove Amanda. But Amanda sidestepped at the last second. Wyatt lunged forward and crashed straight into the front desk, slamming his knee hard. He winced in pain, hissing through gritted teeth.
- himas
- a slow once–over, then wrinkled her nose and took a step back like he reeked. “Who the hell are you? Why are you so filthy? You’re stinking up the lobby.”
- Amanda gave
- People nearby immediately frowned. Judgmental stares came from every direction.
- Wyatt, used to being polished and adored, had never been humiliated like this. Furious, he raised the stick in his hand and charged toward Amanda. He shouted, Tm gonna KILL. you!”
- He thought. If it weren’t for Amanda, he wouldn’t be in this mess.
- Before Wyatt could lay a hand on Amanda, the hotel security had already pinned him down and tossed him out.
- Before Wyant was dragged away, Amanda smiled sweetly and gave him a little wave. That just pissed Wyatt off even more.
- He kept cursing nonstop. “Amanda, you bitch! You’re nothing compared to Ellie. You’re not on the same level as her. Just wait, one day, the Corkerys will kick you out too, and you’ll end up just like me.”
- Anton’s face twisted with anger, and he thought, That’s way too far.
- “Wait a sec. Just as Wyatt was about to be thrown completely out, Amanda spoke up. The security guard paused and stared at
- her.
- Amanda walked over, stood in front of Wyatt, and looked down at him with a smile. “Don’t worry about me, man. Even if that day does come, you won’t be around to see it.
- “You look like you haven’t eaten anything, huh? I don’t see your sweetheart Ellie out here bringing you a snack. What a poor guy Hang on a sec.”
- Then she turned and jogged into the KFC next door and soon came back with a bag full of food. The smell hit Wyatt hard, and his stomach growled so loud that even he couldn’t pretend he didn’t hear it. His eyes were locked on the food.
- Hah, if she thinks tossing me a little food is gonna make me say anything nice, she’s dreaming. Ellie is the best girl in the world. Amanda should just drop dead, Waytt thought bitterly
- He lifted his chin and said, “If you’re giving me food, then 11-
- Before he could finish, Amanda sat right down in front of him and started eating loudly. She didn’t even spare him a glance.
- Wyatt realized that Amanda never planned to share even a piece with him. His face twisted in rage. He cursed her in his head and lunged forward to hit her.
- The guards were ready to step in again, but Amanda was quicker. She barely lifted her foot, and Wyatt went flying, crashing into a corner just outside the guests’s line of sight
- Since it didn’t disturb anyone, the guards figured they’d leave it be.
- Amanda handed some food to the security guys as thanks. The guards happily took a few bites, while Wyatt watched from the floor, practically steaming.
- He struggled to get up, but the moment he lifted off the ground by even a centimeter, he collapsed again. All he could do was glare at Amanda from a few feet away like a wild animal behind glass.
- Amanda ate happily, totally ignoring him and sighing. “Damn, this is so good.”
- This wicked girl. Anton thought, holding back laughter. He glanced at Wyatt and snorted, ‘Honestly, this is getting off easy. He deserves worse
- Amanda finally finished everything except one drumstick. She strolled over to Wyatt and dangled the drumstick in front of his face. “Oh, I’m too full to eat anything. Shame to waste it.”
- Wyatt’s eyes followed the drumstick, and he was actually drooling.
- Amanda gave him a disgusted look and then glanced around dramatically. “Hmm… Who should I give this to?”
- ୦
- Chapter 13
- She looked straight at Waytt, smirked, and pretended to lower the drumstick toward his mouth. She then suddenly turned and shoved it in her own mouth. She gave him a mocking smile as she chewed. “Even if I spit it out, I’d never give it to you.”
- Wyatt nearly exploded, and his eyes turned bloodshot. Just as he was about to scream, Amanda waved the half–eaten drumstick under his nose again. She teased, “Do you want it?”
- “I don’t eat scraps, Wyatt shouted.
- But then his peripheral vision caught sight of a restaurant owner tossing leftovers to the stray dogs. There was a half–eaten drumstick in the pile. Wyatt sprinted toward it like a madman without hesitation.
- The dog was startled, never thinking someone would dare fight it for food. The dog barked and bit Waytt hard on the hand.
- Wyatt screamed in pain while covering his hand.
- Amanda watched the whole thing and gave Waytt a little respectful nod. “Wow, that’s the spirit a homeless guy needs.”
