Chapter 77
Chapter 77
They had been married for three years, but he didn’t know that she could play the zither!
Elliot was not surprised that Amber knew how to play the piano. She used to be the apple of Channing’s eye, so it was normal for her to learn the piano since she was a child.
He walked to Amber’s side and leaned over. He waved his slender fingers on the piano keys. They had never cooperated, but they cooperated perfectly soon!
Four hands flicked continuously! Oh my god! I didn’t expect Mr. Thomson to have such a unique skill with his sister-in-law! How romantic would it be for these two to be together? Mr. Mason’s exaggerated mouth gaped wide open. When he saw Rodney’s cold gaze, he immediately shut his mouth.
The beautiful piano sound echoed in the hall. As the last note stopped, a perfect couple looked at each other and smiled.
After a long time, the onlookers began to applaud. The thunderous applause lasted for a long time.
The champion of this night’s performance was indeed Amber and Elliot.
The organizer of the party, Mr. Kaur, handed the champion prize to Elliot and gave him a bunch of keys. “Mr. Thomson, take your beauty and enjoy your romantic night of starlight!”
Elliot took the key, took Amber’s hand, and walked through the crowd with a playful smile on his face. “Everyone, I’m going to enjoy my romantic night of starlight!”
Mr. Mason whistled. “Be careful. Don’t mess up my sister-in-law!”
“Don’t worry. I know how it hurts for my woman!”
“Mr. Thomson, do you want something to cheer me up? I have something in my room!”
“There’s no need. Take off your clothes and take off your clothes!” Elliot said as he reached out to pick up Amber and walked through the crowd to the entrance of the hall in front of everyone.
Seeing Elliot carry Amber straight to the most luxurious room on the cruise ship, Rodney’s face suddenly turned livid. He suddenly pushed aside the crowd and was about to rush over.
Kelsey, who was standing beside him, quickly grabbed his hand. “Rodney!”
“Let go!” Rodney spat out two words from between his teeth.
“If they want to be together, you can’t stop them.” Kelsey lowered her voice.
“How do you know if you don’t try?”
“Don’t you know her temper? I’m afraid that if you show up to stop her, she will do something in the opposite direction.”
Kelsey’s words made Rodney stop in his tracks. Kelsey was right. Amber’s personality was not ordinary. If he went out to stop her at this time, she would definitely go against him because of anger.
“She has a child in her family. A mother will never be willing to leave her child behind!”
These words made Rodney feel a little better. He sat down on the sofa in the hall dejectedly.
He was going to wait here tonight to see if the woman would go home or not.
Amber was carried into the presidential suite by Elliot. The luxury inside shocked her. Elliot opened the wine cabinet, took out red wine, poured two cups, and handed one of them to Amber.
Amber took a sip, walked around the room, and went to the private deck to have a look. It was evening, and only a few lights could be seen.
She turned around in low spirits and said, “Is there no other focus in this presidential suite except for luxury?”
“Of course!” Elliot casually picked up the remote control and pressed it down. Soon, a huge starry sky appeared on the top of the bed.
“Wow! So beautiful!”
“Do you want to go up and lie down?”
“Of course!” Amber climbed onto the soft bed and looked up at the bright starry sky. Elliot followed suit.
“This is specially designed for couples.” Elliot reached out and fiddled with Amber’s long hair. “On such a romantic night, you can drink red wine, enjoy the starry sky, and do something you love!”
“You’re so annoying!” Amber glared at him.
Elliot planted a kiss on her face. “Don’t worry. Unless you’re willing, I won’t touch you!”
Time ticked by. In a flash, more than two hours had passed. Unexpectedly, Elliot and Amber did not come out of the luxurious room.
Rodney’s heart felt a chill run down his spine. What were they doing inside?
It was a super luxurious room on the bed where one could see the starry sky outside. It was a romantic room where many rich people spent a lot of money to enjoy themselves with their girlfriends.
At this moment, she had to lie in bed with Elliot to drink red wine and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It would be fine if she just drank wine and looked up at the starry sky.
Rodney thought of what Elliot had just said. Elliot was famous for his thirty-six moves and seventy-two moves. He was an experienced player playing with women.
He couldn’t imagine the beautiful scene in the room at this moment. He suddenly got up and strode straight to the exit.
“Rodney!” Kelsey stepped on her high heels and chased after him. When she caught up with him on the downstream wheel, she saw him disappearing like an arrow.
Rodney exerted force under his feet, and the car flew up. The loud roar made the pedestrians avoid it. In just a few seconds, the number on the bus had exceeded the red grid. “You also sped up. Please speed up!” The time limit system in the car reminded him of the machine, but Rodney did not notice it at all.
His mind was always filled with images of Amber and Elliot playing hand-to-hand games. They looked at each other affectionately. It was Elliot’s smiling face when he left with Amber in his arms.
His heart seemed to have fallen into an ice hole, from inside to outside.
Anger and despair filled his brain. The feeling of the end of the world was coming! He found that he could not find a chance to live!
At the same time, a sports car flashed across the Southern City transportation bureau’s monitor screen. The traffic police officers in the monitoring room widened their eyes. “Does this person want to die? Stop him quickly and stop him from getting out of the car!”
Upon receiving the order, the traffic police began to intercept Rodney. For a moment, the shrill siren of the police car sounded, and countless police cars began to intercept Rodney.
Rodney held his breath in his heart and kept stepping on the accelerator. He didn’t realize that he had become the target of the police.
He did not realize that something was wrong until more and more police cars joined in the encirclement, until countless police sirens covered the roar of the sports car.
Rodney parked the car at the side of the road, and the chasing police surrounded him. Seeing that it was Rodney who was driving the car, the police could only smile bitterly. There was no exception to the punishment.
This was what had happened, but because of the large number of police cars chasing after them, some onlookers took a video with their mobile phones.
After sending it to the Internet, the netizens immediately found out the identity of the racing driver. The matter that had been hidden was immediately expanded.
Rodney’s identity was there. The netizens began to clamor that they couldn’t make special things special. This matter caused a great sensation. After hearing this, Channing was very angry. He was very strict with the law and punished as much as he could.
Due to the dangerous driving on the road that was suspected of public safety, and because Channing had strictly ordered the law to punish Rodney, he had been detained for 15 days and had been charged with the fine of using his mobile vehicle. The fine and the fine would not be a problem for him, but the detention would be different.
Due to the impact, the stock of Barron Enterprises fell down three times in a row. Rachel was so angry that she almost fainted. However, Rodney’s performance was very indifferent. He let the company’s public relations team issue an apology statement, and he entered the detention center calmly.
Amber knew such a big thing very quickly. Elliot looked at the newspaper and shook his head. “If it weren’t for the fact that an official’s ex-father-in-law, Rodney, would at most be fine and his driving
license would be deducted. Now, Channing has ordered a severe punishment for his reputation. Rodney’s punishment is really unfair!”
“That’s right.” Deon took over. “The engagement between him and the secretary’s daughter was supposed to be held in these two days. Now that the engagement can’t be held as scheduled, Rodney should be extremely angry!”
“If you didn’t tell me, I would have forgotten. Rodney’s engagement date is indeed in these two days. It’s strange. He’s about to get engaged soon. What do you think he’s going crazy about going to racing?” Elliot frowned. “Could it be that Rodney didn’t want to get engaged to Celia, so he deliberately did this?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“There is such a possibility. Isn’t he fighting with Kelsey now? Maybe it’s Rodney’s idea to avoid getting engaged.” Walter echoed.
“For the sake of Kelsey, Rodney is really willing to spend a lot of money. He has lost billions of yuan in three days! He is generous! He is really generous!” Elliot sighed. “Is this the legendary love for beauty that doesn’t love the country?”
Amber only felt sad when he heard that. Rodney had cheated on Celia and forced her to get out of his house, but now he had lost billions for another woman. It could be imagined that Kelsey was in his heart.
Thinking of Rodney and Kelsey’s one-piece baby-like appearance in the recent gatherings, she suppressed the unhappiness in her heart. She was now with Elliot, and Rodney was in the past. Whatever he did had nothing to do with her.
Rachel’s son, who had been an excellent student since he was a child, had been sent to the police station. This was a great blow to Rachel. Because of this, she had been sent to the hospital and was
lying on the hospital bed. Rachel let out a long sigh. The stock market of the Barron Enterprises had fallen for three days and lost billions of yuan. She did not feel sorry for her son’s reputation.
His son’s reputation had been completely ruined this time. Just thinking about it made his heart ache. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had a relative like Channing and that Channing had issued a strict order to punish him for his reputation, he wouldn’t need to be detained at all.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She picked up the phone and called Shannon. “What’s Mr. Black thinking? He tried his best to cover it up and help me find a way. But he insisted on punishing them severely. Doesn’t he know that Rodney and Celia are going to get engaged soon? Now that Rodney has been arrested, the engagement can only be delayed!”
Shannon knew that there was no hope of getting engaged. She was much more upset than Rachel, but she had to swallow her grievances and explain for Channing, “Mr. Black has no choice. There are so many people watching him, so he has to do something!”
“You want to send your son-in-law to prison?” Rachel sneered. “What benefits does it have for you to be imprisoned?”
Shannon was so angry that she tried her best to explain in a soft voice. Finally, Rachel hung up the phone.
Shannon gasped on the sofa. “Damn it! It’s your son’s fault, but he asked me to apologize. It’s so annoying.”
While she was gasping for breath, Celia’s crying came from upstairs. Listening to her daughter’s wailing, Shannon had to get up from the sofa and went upstairs.
