Chapter 47 A Vicious Young Man
"The reason why I agreed to go to England was that Mark went to America and you promised me that he would never come
back." Amanda's face darkened. Today's situation was different from that of the past. All the changes in the Xue family made her
feel uneasy.
"You want to protect me, so you come back, right?" Arvin said in a low voice, "But I also wanted to protect you!"
He sighed slightly.
"Mom, you have seen what happened just now. I'm afraid his hatred towards us will never dissolve. The reason why I sent you
abroad is that he secretly drugged your coffee when he was ten years old!"
Arvin said in a deep voice, with a touch of pain flashing in his eyes. His hand holding the steering wheel trembled slightly.
"You mean, fifteen years ago, when Mark was still a child, he wanted to kill me?" Amanda was baffled. She couldn't believe what
she had heard from Arvin. It's hard to believe a child could be so meticulous and vicious that he revenged on her.
"Mom, anyway, Linda died of an accident because of you. I feel guilty for my brother and always want to make up for him. I sent
him abroad, paid his tuition fees on time, and hid you in England to protect both of you from harm! "
Arvin said seriously. All this was for the reputation of the Xue family, for the sake of both sides.
"Shut up! I won't go back! " Amanda interrupted him decisively, "Previously, I didn't know that his vicious thought. Now that I
know, I can't leave you alone here!"
Amanda said resolutely. This time, since she was back, she would not let Mark do anything bad. She must help Arvin stabilize
his position in the Xue company.
"Go back to the old house!" Amanda ordered Arvin. She had wanted to call Madame Xue before making a decision, but now she
had made up her mind.
Arvin's deep eyes twinkled, and there was no expression on his face. The black Cayenne turned around and headed straight for
Madame Xue's house.

Standing outside the gate of the old house, Amanda couldn't help but sigh. "It hasn't changed for so many years!"
While she was recalling old memories, Arvin took her luggage from the car and slowly walked into the mansion.
"Madam Li?"
Seeing Amanda, the servants were so surprised that they couldn't believe their eyes. "Is it you?"
"What? You can't even recognize me after all these years? Or can't I come back to this house? " Amanda responded in a cold
voice, looking displeased.
"No, I didn't mean that. I'll report it to Madame Xue right now." Being mused by Amanda, the servant turned around in
embarrassment and passed on the message.
"Who is back?" Madame Xue was making tea when she heard the servant's report. The tea ran down from the teapot to the
table.
"Madame Li is back! Mr. Xue came here with her. " The servant said hurriedly.
"Let's go!" Madame Xue put down the teapot in her hand and walked out with her trembling feet.
When she came out of the back hall, she saw Amanda walking in calmly, followed by Arvin, who was dragging her suitcase.
"Mom! I'm back! " Seeing Madame Xue, Amanda greeted her indifferently.
Holding her crutch, Madame Xue cast a glance at her and asked, "Why didn't you tell me before you came back?" Her tone was
displeased, and her words were somewhat dignified as the hostess of the family.
Hearing Madame Xue's cold reply, Amanda's face darkened. "Am I not a member of the Xue family? Do I need a permission to
come back? I don't know whether I can't come back or someone doesn't welcome me! "
Amanda raised her voice and complained. Madame Xue, who was sitting upright, suddenly turned around and glared at her.
"What do you mean by that?" Her face darkened and she was very unhappy.
"It's because you feel guilty and don't want to come back to face it!" Madame Xue was so domineering that she knocked hard on
the floor with her walking stick.
"Mom, I don't like what you said. Who on earth feel guilty? If I don't come back, I'm afraid that I will become an outsider soon. "
Amanda stepped forward and argued with Madame Xue in a confronting tone.
"You..." Madame Xue was choked on her words. She trembled all over and covered her chest with her hand. She was too
annoyed to say anything.
"Mom! Grandma! " Seeing this, Arvin hurried forward and stopped his mother from continuing, "Grandma, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Madame Xue adjusted her breath and glanced at Amanda with disdain.
"Grandma! I'm back! " Mark appeared in the living room and greeted her heartily. As soon as he saw Amanda and Arvin, his face
turned blue.
"You're back!" The smile on his face completely disappeared, and he was not surprised to see Amanda here at all.
"How fast!" With a trace of contempt and ridicule in his tone, he walked to Madame Xue calmly.
"Have you met her?" Mavis looked at them suspiciously.
"Yes, grandma. We met in front of father's tomb!"
Mark smiled faintly.
"Did you go to see your father?" Madame Xue looked at him kindly with a hint of surprise on her face.
"It's not easy to come back after so many years. You should go to see your father!" Madame Xue was gratified and expressed
her appreciation for Mark's demeanor.
Amanda, who was standing aside, saw the deep love between the grandma and her grandson. She glanced at them coldly and
said, "Mom, you are so easy to deceive. He didn't go to see Ellis. He went to see his mother, Linda!"
She said indignantly. She had never sympathized with Mark from head to toe.
"Don't wrong my Mark!" Madame Xue rolled eyes at her and scolded her unhappily.
"Nonsense? You can ask my son if I have wronged him or not! " Seeing Madame Xue speak for Mark, Amanda couldn't help but
shout angrily.
"Arvin, tell Grandma whether what I said is true or not." Amanda held [Arvin's hand and asked him to explain to Madame Xue.
"Mom! Stop it! " Arvin said coldly. He didn't want to see the two family members quarrel after they hadn't seen each other for so
many years.
"Mom, you are such a shrewd person. But you have been deceived by him! Mark had been busy since he came back! Don't you
know what he has done? " Amanda glanced at him with disdain and said complacently.
"Mom!" Arvin stepped forward to stop her. But Amanda got rid of his grasp and continued, "He bought the tomb next to Ellis and
buried Linda there! More than 10 years ago, he even drugged me in my coffee... "
