Chapter 124
Shannon and her daughter were not idle. Shannon sneered as she looked at the comments on the Internet. “Amber’s reputation has been ruined, but Rodney must have had a problem with you. At present, we want him to show your vigilance. Call him immediately and tell him that you’re here to clarify this matter.”
“How to clarify it?”
“Tell Rodney that you’re going to leak the news that Amber is your sister and help Amber settle the problem.”
“Mom, I won’t agree to this.”
“Of course he won’t agree. But it doesn’t matter. That’s what you’re going to say to him. Let’s see how he’ll reply.”
“Mom, is this okay? What should we do if Rodney agrees to this request?”
“What’s wrong? If Rodney agrees to let you have a public relationship with Amber, Amber will be his sister-in-law. In the future, he won’t be able to be with Amber. Otherwise, the saliva of the upper class will drown him.” Shannon sneered. “It’s easy for him to think of.”
“What if he doesn’t agree?”
“You call him first to see his attitude. If he doesn’t want to admit it, I will have a way to deal with him.”
Rodney was sitting in the car, rubbing his eyebrows. His heart was burning with anxiety. The phone rang. Deon looked at the screen and handed the phone to him. “It’s Ms. Black.”
Rodney picked it up impatiently. “What’s the matter?”
“Rodney, I have something to tell you.” Celia naturally noticed the impatience in Rodney’s voice. “I just saw the post about attacking my sister on the Internet. I’m too angry. We can’t let them continue to attack like this. We have to think of a way.”
“Do you have any good ideas?” Rodney asked in reply.
“I just thought about it. Now everyone is attacking my sister because they misunderstand that you have something to do with my sister. Why don’t I clarify it and let everyone get rid of the misunderstanding?”
“How to clarify it?”
“Tell everyone that my sister has a relationship with me. Tell them that we are sisters, and my sister’s meal with you is just a meeting between relatives… Also, my sister went to Scent Villa just to see me. In this way, no one will misunderstand my sister.”
“No!” Rodney refused. It was true that there were some problems with Amber’s identity being announced, but there were many disadvantages like this.
First of all, no one knew that Amber was Channing’s daughter. Such an abrupt announcement would definitely have an impact on Channing. It was said that Channing was not going to a meeting in the province this time. It seemed that he was being investigated. If his opponent took advantage of this matter and made a fuss about it, Channing’s career would definitely be affected.
Secondly, if he only regarded Amber as Celia’s sister, then he would completely cut off the relationship between him and Amber in the future. There would definitely be a lot of criticism when he and Amber got together in the future. Others would definitely say that Amber had a mistress and even wanted to snatch his sister’s fiance. In this way, how could Amber gain a foothold in the upper class? This method was not safe.
“Why not? I think this is the best way at the moment.” Celia asked innocently.
“Have you ever thought that Mr. Black would agree to reveal Amber’s identity?”
“I… but it’s all because of me. I can’t think of anything else except this method.” Of course, she had thought about it. She knew that Channing would not agree, so she pretended to be like this.
“Forget it. I’ll think of another way to deal with this matter.” After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Celia turned to look at Shannon and said, “Mom, he really doesn’t want me to clarify.”
“This means that he wants to revive with that little b*tch. It has nothing to do with him. This time, we will find a way to force them to have no way out.” Shannon sneered. “We have to find a way to drive the b*tch out with us!”
Rodney hung up the phone. After thinking for a while, he ordered Deon, “Tell them that Amber is my ex- wife!”
“Is this okay?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Have you forgotten that Miss. Stone was on TV the last time? If you were to reveal the fact that you were his ex-husband, your reputation and his wife’s reputation would be…” Deon reminded. Back then, Rodney was a scumbag that everyone scolded, while Rachel was an evil mother-in-law that everyone scolded. If he admitted it, wouldn’t his reputation be ruined?
“I don’t care too much. I know Amber’s temper. Her self-esteem is so strong that she can’t stand such criticism. The most important thing is that I forced her to do this.” Rodney rubbed the space between his eyebrows. “I deserve to be scolded. My mother went too far in the past. We should bear all this.”
“I’m afraid that Madam doesn’t think so. If this information is leaked out, can she accept it? If she has always been biased against Miss. Stone, in the future…”
Deon meant that if this matter was leaked out and Rachel was scolded, she would have even less good feelings for Amber. In the future, if Rodney and Amber agreed, the relationship between the mother-in- law and daughter-in-law would be difficult to imagine. However, Rodney couldn’t care so much. “That’s better than letting her suffer the scolding alone. Just like that, let’s reveal our relationship first.”
Deon promised to do this right away. Rodney lit a cigarette. Once this news was released, it would definitely cause quite a stir. He would definitely scold his mother terribly, and his mother would naturally not be spared.
He only hoped that this matter would end here. He pushed his mother and him to the forefront of the storm so that Amber could vent his anger. What happened that year was because his mother and he were sorry for Amber.
As for Celia, this matter must have something to do with her. He chose not to pursue the matter because he wanted to settle the score with her. From now on, everything between him and her was tied. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
In the hospital, Noemi and Elliot sat on the sofa in the ward separately. Noemi sighed and said, “Who is it that wants to hurt Amber? Amber is kind and has never offended anyone. Why do these paparazzi target her?”
“Is stealing someone else’s fiance considered an offense?” Elliot sneered.
“Do you mean that it was Celia who did this?”
“That’s almost the same!” Elliot sneered. “Let’s see how she’ll perform next. This time, since she wants to court death, don’t blame me!”
While they were talking, Walter called. Mr. Thomson said, “The public opinion on the Internet is one- sided. Rodney asked the public relations team to try to suppress this matter.”
“Let Will continue to enlarge this matter. Don’t let Rodney’s public relations team suppress it,” Elliot ordered.
Noemi heard it clearly and jumped up in shock. “Elliot, what are you trying to do?”
“Nothing much. It’s just an eye for an eye!” Elliot replied coldly.
“But, aren’t you doing this for Amber? What’s the impact on Xia Wan?” Noemi was skeptical.
“You’ll see the effects soon!” Elliot said with a strange smile. “Isn’t there someone who wants to ruin Amber’s reputation? I want to see who’s worse!”
Amber woke up slowly. It seemed that she had not fully recovered. Her eyes wandered from Noemi’s face to Elliot’s. She froze for a while and asked, “Why are you here?”
Elliot reached out to hold her hand. “What’s wrong? Are you angry? Are you scared silly?”
Amber’s face was pale and he immediately sat up. Elliot stretched out his hand to support her. “You can rest and recuperate. Don’t worry, there will be an explanation for this matter!”
Rodney personally cooked Amber’s favorite porridge and prepared to send it to the hospital for Amber to eat. Before he went out, Deon called him and said that a few minutes ago, someone had put a recording on the Internet, which said that Celia had asked Zoe to find someone to deal with Amber. The effect of this matter was very bad now.
Everyone was saying that Celia was a pure white lotus. Hearing Deon’s words, Rodney didn’t comment.
There was still a need to check the authenticity of the recording, but this matter couldn’t be simply seen like this. It was going to make a scene. Who was so persistent to watch this matter?
Celia and Shannon naturally knew about the recording. “Mom, what should we do now? Rodney will definitely know it soon. How should I explain it?”
“Let me think about it! Let me think about it!” Shannon frowned. “It’s not so easy for the little b*tch to get back together with Rodney. I have to seal her way out. I just want to make you suffer.”
“Mom, as long as they are not together, it doesn’t matter if I feel a little wronged.”
“That’s good. Those who achieve great things don’t care about trifles. This time, we will be ruthless!” Shannon sneered. “Go and explain it to Rodney. You won’t admit to the recording even if you are beaten to death. Just say that someone framed you, and I will think about the rest for you.”
Celia nodded. “I’ll go now!”
Rodney came to the hospital with the porridge, but was stopped by Elliot. “Mr. Barron, how dare you come again? Hey, porridge? You cooked it yourself? What’s wrong with you? Are you asking for forgiveness for your fiancee? I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. Amber just ate the chicken porridge I bought. You’d better take it back!”
“Get out of my way!” Rodney’s face darkened.
“Mr. Barron, go wherever you can. You don’t have to pretend to be attentive here!” Noemi also came out when she heard the voice.
When he saw Noemi, he had a headache. She was hot-tempered and spoke mercilessly, but her iron relationship with Amber made him unable to do anything. He quarreled with her, couldn’t open his mouth, and beat her? She was a woman, and he couldn’t do anything to her.
Just as they were in a stalemate, Celia appeared. Like Rodney, she also carried a thermos bottle in her hand. Noemi couldn’t help laughing. “It’s said that it’s not a family that doesn’t get married. Mr. Barron and his mistress are really connected. Are you here to act?”
Celia pretended not to hear Noemi’s sarcasm. She walked to Rodney and stood there timidly. “I’m here to see my sister.”
“Get out of here! Shame on you! You asked someone to take photos to attack Amber, who deliberately ruined her reputation. Now you come here and pretend to be innocent. Can you deceive others by pretending to be a white lotus?”
“It’s not me. I didn’t do those things. Someone slandered me!” Celia was pitiful, and tears immediately rolled down her big eyes. “Rodney, you have to believe me. I really didn’t do those things.”
“Tsk, tsk!” Elliot smacked his lips. “Ms. Black, are you a graduate? Why do you cry so easily? Also, the truth is here. Is it useful for you to deny it?”
“I really didn’t do those things.” Celia defended herself. “Let me in and explain it to my sister.”
“Get lost! Do you want to perform at home? Don’t dirty our eyes.” Noemi drove them away directly. Seeing that Rodney and Celia didn’t move, she suddenly sneered and said, “Are you leaving or not? I’ll shout if you don’t?”
“Ms. Black, what are you calling me?” Elliot interrupted.
“I’ll tell you about how the mistress shamelessly hooked up with a jerk. What do you think?”
“That’s a good relationship. Do you want me to ask someone to send you a loudspeaker so that everyone in the hospital can hear you?”
Rodney’s expression was uncertain. With Noemi around, he estimated that he couldn’t get in. Noemi was no different from a tiger. He looked at Celia, who was still wiping her tears, and said lightly, “Let’s go!”
“Don’t come again. Please leave us a way out!” Noemi refused to give up.
“Rodney, that recording really wasn’t me. Someone was slandering me.” Walking out of the hospital to the car outside, Celia explained to Rodney.
Rodney didn’t comment, and Celia swore again. After a while, Rodney said, “Celia, even if you did it, I won’t blame you!”
“It really wasn’t me! Rodney, believe me!”
“Well, you go back first. Drive carefully on the road. Remember to take your medicine.” Rodney interrupted her.
