Shannon and her daughter were not idle. Shannon sneered as she looked at the comments on the Internet. âAmberâs 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 youâre here to clarify this matter.â
âHow to clarify it?â
âTell Rodney that youâre going to leak the news that Amber is your sister and help Amber settle the problem.â
âMom, I wonât agree to this.â
âOf course he wonât agree. But it doesnât matter. Thatâs what youâre going to say to him. Letâs see how heâll reply.â
âMom, is this okay? What should we do if Rodney agrees to this request?â
âWhatâs wrong? If Rodney agrees to let you have a public relationship with Amber, Amber will be his sister-in-law. In the future, he wonât be able to be with Amber. Otherwise, the saliva of the upper class will drown him.â Shannon sneered. âItâs easy for him to think of.â
âWhat if he doesnât agree?â
âYou call him first to see his attitude. If he doesnât want to admit it, I will have a way to deal with him.â
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. âItâs Ms. Black.â
Rodney picked it up impatiently. âWhatâs the matter?â
âRodney, I have something to tell you.â Celia naturally noticed the impatience in Rodneyâs voice. âI just saw the post about attacking my sister on the Internet. Iâm too angry. We canât let them continue to attack like this. We have to think of a way.â
âDo you have any good ideas?â Rodney asked in reply.
âI just thought about it. Now everyone is attacking my sister because they misunderstand that you have something to do with my sister. Why donât I clarify it and let everyone get rid of the misunderstanding?â
âHow to clarify it?â
âTell everyone that my sister has a relationship with me. Tell them that we are sisters, and my sisterâs 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.â
âNo!â Rodney refused. It was true that there were some problems with Amberâs identity being announced, but there were many disadvantages like this.
First of all, no one knew that Amber was Channingâs 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, Channingâs career would definitely be affected.
Secondly, if he only regarded Amber as Celiaâs 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 sisterâs fiance. In this way, how could Amber gain a foothold in the upper class? This method was not safe.
âWhy not? I think this is the best way at the moment.â Celia asked innocently.
âHave you ever thought that Mr. Black would agree to reveal Amberâs identity?â
âI... but itâs all because of me. I canât think of anything else except this method.â Of course, she had thought about it. She knew that Channing would not agree, so she pretended to be like this.
âForget it. Iâll think of another way to deal with this matter.â After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Celia turned to look at Shannon and said, âMom, he really doesnât want me to clarify.â
âThis 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.â Shannon sneered. âWe have to find a way to drive the b*tch out with us!â
Rodney hung up the phone. After thinking for a while, he ordered Deon, âTell them that Amber is my ex-wife!â
âIs this okay?â
âWhatâs wrong?â
âHave 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 wifeâs reputation would be...â 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, wouldnât his reputation be ruined?
âI donât care too much. I know Amberâs temper. Her self-esteem is so strong that she canât stand such criticism. The most important thing is that I forced her to do this.â Rodney rubbed the space between his eyebrows. âI deserve to be scolded. My mother went too far in the past. We should bear all this.â
âIâm afraid that Madam doesnât think so. If this information is leaked out, can she accept it? If she has always been biased against Miss. Stone, in the future...â
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 couldnât care so much. âThatâs better than letting her suffer the scolding alone. Just like that, letâs reveal our relationship first.â
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.
In the hospital, Noemi and Elliot sat on the sofa in the ward separately. Noemi sighed and said, âWho is it that wants to hurt Amber? Amber is kind and has never offended anyone. Why do these paparazzi target her?â
âIs stealing someone elseâs fiance considered an offense?â Elliot sneered.
âDo you mean that it was Celia who did this?â
âThatâs almost the same!â Elliot sneered. âLetâs see how sheâll perform next. This time, since she wants to court death, donât blame me!â
While they were talking, Walter called. Mr. Thomson said, âThe public opinion on the Internet is one-sided. Rodney asked the public relations team to try to suppress this matter.â
âLet Will continue to enlarge this matter. Donât let Rodneyâs public relations team suppress it,â Elliot ordered.
Noemi heard it clearly and jumped up in shock. âElliot, what are you trying to do?â
âNothing much. Itâs just an eye for an eye!â Elliot replied coldly.
âBut, arenât you doing this for Amber? Whatâs the impact on Xia Wan?â Noemi was skeptical.
âYouâll see the effects soon!â Elliot said with a strange smile. âIsnât there someone who wants to ruin Amberâs reputation? I want to see whoâs worse!â
Amber woke up slowly. It seemed that she had not fully recovered. Her eyes wandered from Noemiâs face to Elliotâs. She froze for a while and asked, âWhy are you here?â
Elliot reached out to hold her hand. âWhatâs wrong? Are you angry? Are you scared silly?â
Amberâs face was pale and he immediately sat up. Elliot stretched out his hand to support her. âYou can rest and recuperate.
Donât worry, there will be an explanation for this matter!â
Rodney personally cooked Amberâs 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 Deonâs words, Rodney didnât comment.
There was still a need to check the authenticity of the recording, but this matter couldnât 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. âMom, what should we do now? Rodney will definitely know it soon. How should I explain it?â
âLet me think about it! Let me think about it!â Shannon frowned. âItâs 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.â
âMom, as long as they are not together, it doesnât matter if I feel a little wronged.â
âThatâs good. Those who achieve great things donât care about trifles. This time, we will be ruthless!â Shannon sneered. âGo and explain it to Rodney. You wonât 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.â
Celia nodded. âIâll go now!â
Rodney came to the hospital with the porridge, but was stopped by Elliot. âMr. Barron, how dare you come again? Hey, porridge?
You cooked it yourself? Whatâs wrong with you? Are you asking for forgiveness for your fiancee? Iâm afraid youâll be disappointed. Amber just ate the chicken porridge I bought. Youâd better take it back!â
âGet out of my way!â Rodneyâs face darkened.
âMr. Barron, go wherever you can. You donât have to pretend to be attentive here!â 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, couldnât open his mouth, and beat her? She was a woman, and he couldnât 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 couldnât help laughing. âItâs said that itâs not a family that doesnât get married. Mr. Barron and his mistress are really connected. Are you here to act?â
Celia pretended not to hear Noemiâs sarcasm. She walked to Rodney and stood there timidly. âIâm here to see my sister.â
âGet 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?â
âItâs not me. I didnât do those things. Someone slandered me!â Celia was pitiful, and tears immediately rolled down her big eyes.
âRodney, you have to believe me. I really didnât do those things.â
âTsk, tsk!â Elliot smacked his lips. âMs. Black, are you a graduate? Why do you cry so easily? Also, the truth is here. Is it useful for you to deny it?â
âI really didnât do those things.â Celia defended herself. âLet me in and explain it to my sister.â
âGet lost! Do you want to perform at home? Donât dirty our eyes.â Noemi drove them away directly. Seeing that Rodney and Celia didnât move, she suddenly sneered and said, âAre you leaving or not? Iâll shout if you donât?â
âMs. Black, what are you calling me?â Elliot interrupted.
âIâll tell you about how the mistress shamelessly hooked up with a jerk. What do you think?â
âThatâs a good relationship. Do you want me to ask someone to send you a loudspeaker so that everyone in the hospital can hear you?â
Rodneyâs expression was uncertain. With Noemi around, he estimated that he couldnât get in. Noemi was no different from a tiger. He looked at Celia, who was still wiping her tears, and said lightly, âLetâs go!â
âDonât come again. Please leave us a way out!â Noemi refused to give up.
âRodney, that recording really wasnât me. Someone was slandering me.â Walking out of the hospital to the car outside, Celia explained to Rodney.
Rodney didnât comment, and Celia swore again. After a while, Rodney said, âCelia, even if you did it, I wonât blame you!â
âIt really wasnât me! Rodney, believe me!â
âWell, you go back first. Drive carefully on the road. Remember to take your medicine.â Rodney interrupted her.
