Andrew increased manpower to investigate Amanda’s whereabouts.
But still couldn’t find her.
Until he went to see his mother.
“Mom, do you know where Amanda went? She suddenly disappeared, I can’t find her.”
Betty glanced at him, with cold tone.
“Stop looking. I’ve canceled your engagement to Amanda. Where she goes now has nothing to do with you.”
These words struck Andrew like a physical blow.
He felt dizzy, choking out his question.
“Cancel the engagement? Why! Amy Davis set this up before she died! Didn’t we promise to repay her kindness?”
Betty laughed sarcastically.
“You talk about repaying kindness? What have you actually done?”
Andrew swallowed his unfinished words, jaw clenched with conviction.
“Amanda would never agree to cancel this.”
Seeing Andrew’s expression, Betty sighed heavily.
“She was the one who called it off.”
The living room fell deathly quiet, only the pounding of heartbeats audible.
Andrew’s lips trembled without forming words.
He never imagined Amanda would initiate the breakup.
In the past, this news would’ve thrilled him.
For three years, he’d engineered thirty-one “accidents.”
Hurt Amanda, made her friends beg her to quit.
Wanted her to give up and end the engagement herself.
That way he’d honor Amanda’s dead parents and his own conscience.

So why did he feel nothing but emptiness now?
“Mom, you know where Amanda is, right? Did you…?”
Betty’s palm cracked across Andrew’s face before he finished.
The sting left him dazed.
His own mother had never hit him before.
Andrew stared at Betty through red-rimmed eyes, her whole body shaking with rage.
Betty jabbed her finger at his face, screaming.
“Honor her parents? During that tsunami ten years ago, they died clutching your hands!”
“You kept your family while Amanda lost everything! Now you’d kill her over some poor student!”
“Half a bottle of sleeping pills! She’d be dead if I hadn’t found her!”
Andrew hung his head, absorbing every blow.
He couldn’t deny any of it.
Betty rubbed her temples, her posture sagging.
“Amanda came to me for money recently.”
“She’s got brain cancer. Advanced stage.”
Andrew’s head snapped up, lips quivering silently.
Two words finally popped out.
“What?”
