Chapter 123
Elliot and Rodney quickly sent Amber to the hospital. The doctor immediately gave Amber first aid. After the first aid, Amber was sent to the ward. The doctor told them that there was no big problem, and they would have a good rest. Hearing the doctor say so, Elliot and Rodney looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
After Amber rushed out of the company, he climbed onto a bus in a daze. The bus kept driving forward, and she sat down in a daze until she was the only passenger on the bus.
The night fell, and the scenery outside the window became dark. When the automatic station device on the bus announced the station, Amber suddenly stood up.
The bus driver opened the door and she slowly got out of the car. The night wind blew on her body, making her feel cold. She stared blankly at the dark sky in front of her, and there was a salty and wet smell at the tip of her nose.
She was not far from the beach. Amber stumbled to the beach, and she slowly walked into the sea.
For the first time in her life, she felt very tired and desperate!
“What’s the point of being alive? It’s best to end it like this.”
This idea made Amber walk slowly like the center of the sea. The sea slowly covered her feet, her legs, her waist, her chest, and finally her neck.
At this moment, Mel’s tender face suddenly appeared in front of her. He opened his mouth and cried in a hoarse voice, “Mom! Mom, you can’t die. What should I do if you die? I won’t have a mother if you die!”
Without a mother, the child was so pitiful. She had never had a mother since she was a child, so she lived such a hard life and was so pitiful.
She remembered that Amber had sobered up as if she had been enlightened. She struggled to return. When she was about to reach the shore, a huge wave suddenly hit her.
Everything went dark before her eyes, and she knew nothing.
Shannon and her daughter watched the comments on the Internet gloatingly while listening to what was happening outside. Every ten minutes, Aunt Maleah would pick up a phone call. As time went by, Rodney finally did not call again. The mother and daughter looked at each other, and it seemed that they had found the little b*tch.
“Mom, what should we do now?” Celia asked. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“We can’t pretend that we don’t know about such a big thing. Call Rodney and ask him about Amber’s news.”
Celia gave him a call, but no one answered. She didn’t give up and called him several times in a row, but no one paid attention to her.
“Mom, he didn’t answer my phone. Did he suspect me?” As her voice fell, her phone rang. It was Zoe.
“Celia, bad news, something big has happened! Those women… those women… the police station…” Zoe was so nervous that she couldn’t speak properly. The… the police station… the people who attacked Amber were taken to the police station!”
“What did you say?” Celia gnashed her teeth in hatred. “Didn’t you ask them to make trouble for a while and leave? How could they be caught?”
“They made a fuss and were about to leave, but they were stopped by the security guards… Later, they were all taken to the police station. They are my relatives. What if they betray me at that time?”
“You really can’t do anything!” Celia hated him so much. “Didn’t I ask you to find a few people at will? What are you looking for your relatives for? Make trouble!”
Zoe also regretted it very much. Celia asked her to find a few people to make trouble in Amber’s company. She paid a lot of money, so she naturally thought of her relatives first. She thought that she could escape unscathed after a fight, but she didn’t expect that she would be stopped by the security guards and sent to the police station.
Shannon heard it clearly from the side. She grabbed the phone from Celia’s hand and said, “If this matter catches up with you, you can take it all by yourself!”
“I will bear the responsibility?” Zoe opened her mouth wide. When Celia asked her to do this, she did not say that she would bear the consequences. Instead, she always promised that nothing would happen. How could she take the responsibility now? How could she bear it? “Will she go to jail?”
“No! You didn’t talk nonsense. It’s a fact that they are together.” Shannon comforted her. “If I tell you the truth, you should take responsibility for it. I said that you were very angry when you saw Rodney and Amber together by accident, so you stepped forward to defend Celia. Remember to insist that nothing will happen to you as long as we’re here. Do you understand?”
“I… but what if Rodney doesn’t believe me?” Zoe felt guilty in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she would not have agreed to Celia’s request.
“Even if you don’t believe it, you have to believe it. Don’t worry, you won’t get into any trouble. Besides, I won’t treat you shabbily, whether it’s money or anything else.” Shannon emphasized. “Your brother will graduate from college soon. I will arrange a good job for him. And your boyfriend. I won’t treat you shabbily, understand?”
Zoe thought for a moment and had to agree. She couldn’t lose Celia, who was a big tree. Anyway, it was already like this. It was better to do as Shannon said. Moreover, she had seen Celia’s means. If
she was annoyed, she would never have a chance to stand out in this life.
After persuading Zoe, Shannon told Celia, “Continue to call Rodney. Tell her about this immediately and put all the blame on Zoe.”
Amber was still in a coma in the hospital. Elliot and Rodney stayed in the ward silently. After a while, Elliot’s phone rang. He picked it up and picked it up. Deon’s voice came. “Mr. Thomson, we’ve found the perpetrator.”
“Who is it?”
“It’s Zoe, Celia’s good friend! She contacted the magazine and the magazine found paparazzi to follow her, so there was this report.” Walter paused for a moment. “As for the women who went to Miss. Stone’s company to make trouble, they were found by Zoe. She said that she wanted to avenge Celia.”
“Who would believe that!” Elliot sneered. “We must find the real mastermind behind this.”
Hanging up the phone, Elliot looked at Rodney with a sneer. “Mr. Barron, do you think it’s strange? I wouldn’t believe it if it had nothing to do with your fiancee!”
Rodney’s face was a little ugly. He knew that Celia and Zoe were friends. Why would Zoe and Amber go against Amber? He picked up the phone and was about to make a call. The phone rang first, and Celia’s voice came urgently. “Rodney, have you found my sister?”
“Mhm!” Rodney snorted.
“Rodney, I called you a lot of times, but you didn’t answer it. I’m very worried. I…” Celia’s voice was very urgent and sounded very pitiful.
“What are you worried about?” Rodney asked in a cold voice.
“Rodney…” Celia paused for a moment and said in a trembling voice, “Rodney, I have something to tell you. It was Zoe who did this to you!”
“Zoe did it? Why did she do it?”
“She… she had some conflicts with my sister. Last time, my sister slapped her in the face, and she always had hatred in her heart. When she saw you eating with my sister… she… informed the paparazzi, and even asked her relatives to make trouble in my sister’s company. She wanted to teach my sister a lesson,” Celia answered intermittently.
Rodney sneered. “Is that really the case?”
“Rodney, it’s really like this. It’s me who didn’t know what’s good for me. I’ve severed my relationship with Zoe!”
“What can you do if you break up with her? Can you pretend that nothing has happened?” Rodney asked. Celia bit her lip. Indeed, what could she do if she cut off her relationship with Zoe? This matter had a huge impact on Amber.
“I… I’ll find a way!”
Rodney hung up the phone impatiently. Now was not the time to hold the blame. It was the time to minimize the impact of the whole thing.
He called Deon outside. “How’s the matter going?”
“Mr. Barron, there is no way to suppress the negative news. It has already spread out.” Deon smiled bitterly. “Someone hired a large number of navy members to issue a post at a high price. I checked it and found that the ID came from abroad!”
“Bastard!” For the first time, Rodney cursed. Then, he ordered Deon, “No matter what the cost is, we must suppress this matter.”
Deon agreed. Rodney was anxious. How could this matter become like this? Deon said that someone paid a lot of money to hire the navy, which was obviously not Zoe’s doing. Since Celia had already called to tell him about this matter, it was impossible for her to do such a stupid thing. Who was playing tricks on him?
When he returned to the ward, he saw Elliot standing by Amber’s bed and staring at him. He felt extremely annoyed, but Elliot asked him to leave. “Mr. Barron, you can go back. I’m fine here.”
“Why should I go back?” Rodney was not happy.
“It’s all because of you. Why don’t you go back and stay here to make trouble?” Elliot looked at Rodney coldly. “Amber’s reputation is now in a mess because of you. Do you think it’s suitable for you to stay here? Or do you want to see how embarrassed she is if you stay here?”
Rodney’s face was gloomy, and his dark and deep eyes shot a cold light at Elliot’s face. He gnashed his teeth and said, “Elliot, I don’t feel good about things like this! I’m not as shameless as you said!”
“Don’t you have the nerve to defend yourself? Aren’t you shameless? You are the most shameless man I have ever seen. I have seen men who cheated on their marriage, but you dare to cheat on someone your wife hates the most. You are the f*cking best!”
Elliot was not polite at all. “You keep saying that you love her, but you have an affair with the daughter of the mistress who stole her father. As long as you don’t have any human nature, you won’t force her to be your lover after getting engaged to the daughter of the mistress!”
“Elliot, what happened between Amber and me isn’t what you see. I’m telling you, I’m sitting upright. I have a clear conscience!”
“You have a clear conscience? How dare you say that?” Elliot stared at Rodney. “Let me ask you, how are you going to explain this to Amber?”
“How are we going to explain it?” Rodney glared at Elliot. “It’s not about how to explain it now. We have to cover up the negative news first.”
“Conceal? You’re f*cking funny. The news has spread. Can you cover up everyone’s mouth just because you say so? Can you guarantee that everyone will not talk about her behind her back?”
“Aren’t I thinking of a way?”
While they were arguing, Noemi came in. She had the same temper as Elliot. She pointed at Rodney and said, “Get out of here, Mr. Barron! You’re not welcome here!”
Elliot was overjoyed when he found his ally. “Let’s go. You’re not welcome here!”
Rodney was chased out in disgrace. He stood in the corridor angrily. Deon came and said, “Mr. Barron, let’s go back and find a way!”
Rodney was unwilling to give up and went out of the hospital with Deon.
