Chapter 118
He was reminding Rodney that he had asked her to take back all the jewelry after she left her house. His face suddenly darkened. “Amber, can’t you talk nicely?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know how to talk. I’m sorry for offending you! Don’t forget that I’m a villain. Don’t lower yourself to my level!” Amber lowered his head and looked pitiful.
She called him “you” so respectfully that he couldn’t stand it anymore. He pointed at the bracelet and said, “Amber, don’t forget your identity. I told you to put it on, or…”
Otherwise, before he could finish his words, Amber got down from his lap. “Otherwise, what will Mr. Barron do? Will he end his relationship with my lover?” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Amber’s beautiful eyes were filled with mockery and disdain. Rodney was so angry that he could not speak. What could he possibly threaten her with?
It was not that she was in a hurry to be his lover. He was the one who threatened her to be his lover. She was not willing at all. Other than threatening her with the video, she did not have any weakness. The so-called video was only known by heaven.
Rodney held his breath and couldn’t find a way to vent. “Go and help me put some bath water. I want to take a shower!”
Amber went into the bathroom without saying a word. He heard the sound of running water coming from inside. A few minutes later, she came out. “Mr. Barron, the water is ready. Please!”
Rodney really wanted to turn around and leave. In the end, he held back his anger and went into the bathroom. As he took a shower, he was angry. It seemed that this low-key method didn’t work. In this case, he would use force and force!
He walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, but his eyes were wide open. Amber actually fell asleep on the sofa. No matter what kind of bed he was sleeping in, it was nonsense.
Rodney walked over and picked her up. He placed her on the bed and hugged her soft body. His desire was rising. He really wanted to get rid of her, but when he saw how soundly she slept, he couldn’t bear to disturb her.
Amber wasn’t asleep at all. She was just pretending to be asleep in an attempt to escape this disaster. She was secretly delighted after Rodney put her on the bed, but she didn’t expect that he wasn’t going to let go of her. Instead, he held her tightly in his arms like an octopus.
He put his head on top of her body. Amber felt terrible, but he didn’t dare to move, for fear of being caught in the fire. It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that Rodney gave out a steady breathing sound that she broke free from his arms and changed her position. Finally, she fell asleep with her back to him.
Although she had fallen asleep, she didn’t sleep well that night. She was always worried and wary, so Amber woke up as soon as it was dawn. She turned over and sat up. Rodney, who was next to her, reached out to hold her. “Go to sleep a little longer. I’ll take you to the company!”
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Barron. Please save some face for me, Mr. Barron. After all, it’s not a glorious thing!” Her words made Rodney speechless. She got up easily, washed up, and immediately went to Scent Villa.
Because she didn’t sleep well during the day when she went to work, she had always been confused. When she finally got off work, she received a call from Noemi, saying that she wanted to treat her to a meal.
Amber didn’t want to go back to the Scent Villa to see Rodney’s face, so he happily agreed. The place where Noemi invited her to dinner was in the most prosperous commercial street in South City. When
Amber arrived at the place, Noemi had already arrived. The dishes had been ordered, and it was both Amber’s and her favorite.
Seeing Amber’s dark eyes, Noemi couldn’t help but tease her, asking her if she had gone overboard. Amber sighed and told her everything that had happened last night. Noemi laughed so hard that she couldn’t stop laughing. Why did she think that it was so funny when Rodney was stuck by a fishbone?
“At that time, you should have taken a few photos and sent them to me when he was in the hospital. Rodney was stuck by a fishbone and sent to the hospital. What a big headline! Hahaha!”
“You only know the headline.” Amber glared at her. “You’d better help me find a way to deal with Mr. Barron! You escaped from pretending to be asleep last night, but you can’t pretend to be asleep today.”
“Amber, what are you going for? You can’t stay away from him all the time, can you? You’ve been grounded for so many years, why don’t you treat him like a duck? Such a handsome duck is not a loss at all!”
“Such a disgusting person. I don’t want to do anything with him. I’ll wait for a few days before I do it. When my period is over, it’ll be great if I can get pregnant at the same time.”
“It’s a little difficult. You know that men are animals who think with the lower half of their bodies. You are so beautiful, how can Mu let you go?” Noemi felt that it was not easy to escape from Rodney’s entanglement. “Why don’t you let Celia hold him back?”
“How to deal with it?”
“I’ll tell Celia that I live in Scent Villa. At that time, the little b*tch will definitely jump up and down. She will definitely pester Mr. Barron every day…”
“Your idea doesn’t work. Mr. Barron threatened me and said that if I dared to tell Celia, he would make me die without a burial place!” Amber replied.
“Did he really say that?”
“Yes. Mu is very concerned about Celia. She is in poor health, so she went to other places to find famous doctors to prescribe medicine for her.”
“Bastard! He is really good to that little b*tch. But a jerk is a jerk. He ate in a bowl and looked at the pot. This guy is so fucking good.” Noemi scolded him fiercely.
“Let me tell you, the day before yesterday, I went to the cat’s alley with my colleagues from the TV station to interview them. I saw Rodney’s lover, Kelsey, appear in the cat’s alley. What do you think they are doing there?”
Amber was stunned. She had heard from her uncle that her mother had lived there with her uncle when she was a child. Ashton said that place was not ordinary chaos.
There were not only many poor people living there, but also many local ruffians and hooligans. They committed murder, arson, and drug trafficking. Celia’s mother, Shannon, also came from that place. But why did Rodney go there?
She couldn’t think of an answer. No matter what Mr. Barron did, it had nothing to do with her. It was more important for her to do something serious!
Amber and Noemi ate and chatted for two hours. When they came out of the restaurant, there was already a piece of neon rainbow outside.
On the most prosperous street in South City, there were many cars. She couldn’t see them at all. She sighed and said, “It seems that it’s impossible to drive out for more than two hours tonight.”
While they were talking, Rodney’s phone rang. His voice was cold as he asked, “Where is it?”
“I’m eating outside,” Amber replied.
“Give me your location. I’ll come and pick you up!”
“It’s better if you don’t come. There’s a traffic jam here and you won’t be able to get in less than two hours.” As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a bad mood. He was so happy that he went home and waited to have dinner with her. However, she didn’t expect that he would eat and drink with his friends without a fight.
“Rodney is really sticking to you like a dog.” Amber hung up the phone and Noemi smiled. “I’ve thought of your way to deal with him tonight, pretending to be drunk!”
Amber’s eyes lit up at her words. “What a good relationship! Let’s go to the bar for a while!”
It was just that it would take at least an hour for her to go to a bar! Noemi was impatient and complained about too many cars. She said that she had never seen such a traffic jam abroad.
Amber was still calm. She was not interested in going to the bar. She just wanted to avoid Rodney’s bad idea. Seeing Noemi keep complaining, she couldn’t help laughing. “Isn’t it good to enjoy the scenery? You’ve seen so many cars, densely packed like Beetles. It’s actually very interesting.”
“Bah! It hurts as soon as I see so many cars. I don’t have any leisure time!” She looked out of the window after saying that. Then she suddenly exclaimed, “Amber, look at the woman in the car wearing sunglasses. Why does she look like an old b*tch?”
Amber followed Noemi’s line of sight and was greatly shocked. If she was not mistaken, the woman in sunglasses sitting in the passenger seat was indeed very similar to Shannon. It was hard to say that it must be because of the distance, and the angle they were in was not very clear.
The woman who looked very much like Shannon was sitting in the passenger seat, wearing a hat and sunglasses. It was a man who was driving.
The point was not that, but from the angle of Amber and Noemi, they could faintly see that the man’s right hand was actually clasped with the woman’s left hand!
Although Noemi was a playwright-director, she often went out to the Exterior before. When she saw the two hands holding each other’s hands, she almost instinctively took out her mobile phone to take photos.
Amber’s reaction was slow. She didn’t react until Noemi took the picture and stopped. “What are you doing?”
“What are you doing? This old b*tch actually pretended to hook up with another man. What do you think will happen if I give this thing to Mr. Black?” Noemi smiled proudly. “At that time, the old b*tch and her daughter will definitely be driven out of the house. Let’s see how they can bully you!”
Amber was amused by her words. “The photo is so blurry. It’s hard to say whether it’s an old b*tch or not. Besides, it’s just a photo. Even if it’s her, she can totally deny that she was framed. Your plan won’t work!”
While speaking, the traffic began to loosen. Noemi also felt that Amber’s words were reasonable. First of all, she could not be completely sure that it was Shannon. Moreover, Shannon was so bad and so scheming. It was impossible for her to move her down just because of a photo.
But today’s discovery was a good sign. If this woman was really Shannon, then it was certain that the relationship between her and that man was definitely not simple.
“Amber, call the Black family immediately and see if Shannon is at home. If she isn’t at home, we can be sure that the woman just now is her.”
Noemi’s suggestion was right. Amber immediately called the Black family. It was Aunt Maleah who answered the phone. Amber first asked whether Channing was at home and Aunt Maleah answered that she was not there.
Amber asked again whether Shannon and her daughter were there or not. Aunt Maleah replied that they were not there. Celia said that she was going to have a gathering with her friends, and Shannon went out at noon. She should have gone for beauty care again and hadn’t come back yet.
It was hard to believe that a beauty salon had to last from noon to night. Amber asked tentatively, “How long has Shannon’s beauty salon been going to last?”
Aunt Maleah answered. There was no fixed time for her beauty. Channing had something to do when he came back late, so he had a long time every time.
After hanging up the phone, Noemi said with an evil smile, “It seems that this old b*tch is really a ghost. Why don’t we keep an eye on her and see where she is doing her beauty, and why she has been doing it for such a long time?”
“There’s no fixed time. How can you keep an eye on it?” Amber asked.
“Ask for a private detective?”
“Forget it. I’m very upset now. Let’s talk about this later.” Amber was not in the mood to care about this now.
