Amber could imagine what Rachel looked like at this moment. She knew that whether the truth was true or not, she must be very angry. Her family must have been smashed into a mess by her.
Amberâs guess was very accurate. Rachel was so angry when she saw her sonâs reaction that she smashed the things in the house. Then she called Rodney and asked him to come back as soon as possible to explain.
On the other side, Celia and her daughter were so angry when they saw the show. It was out of Celia and Shannonâs wildest dreams that Rodney would push her to such heights.
Shannon only thought of how Rodney and his son sympathized with Celia because of Celiaâs ruined reputation. She thought of how Rodney and his son would be united because they were both attacked. She had never thought that Rodney would be so reckless as to deal with them like this.
When Celia got close to Rodney, it was a trick. But now, Rodney used her tricks to fight against her. It was ironic.
Looking at the host praising her for being kind-hearted, Celia was really upset. She didnât do this for the sake of being a moral model.
Now, in front of the people of the South City, Rodney kept saying that she had nothing to do with him. He kept denying that she had tried her best to get engaged, which made Celia feel embarrassed.
She would rather be pointed at the nose and scolded by the world than have anything to do with Rodney, especially when she saw him thanking her for her efforts and her helping him and Amber. Celia was so angry that she almost went crazy. She jumped up and shouted at Shannon, âItâs all your fault. I said it was all right. What should we do now?â
âCalm down!â Shannon looked at her daughterâs crazy look and frowned. âIsnât it the last moment?â
âHow can I calm down? How can I calm down? Can calm down make Rodney take back what he said? Ah? Itâs all your fault... If it werenât for you, things wouldnât have become like this.â
Shannon was also irritated by her daughterâs duty. âI didnât do it for you. If it werenât for me, you wouldnât even be able to touch Rodney. How dare you blame me? Well, I donât care about your business from now on!â
âI donât care. Iâll die. If I canât get him, Iâll die!â
Shannon slammed the door and walked out. âThen go to hell. My daughter isnât as bad as you think. Go ahead if you want to die.
I wonât stop you!â
Seeing that her mother didnât care about her, Celia fell to the ground, covered her face, and burst into tears. She didnât want to die. She didnât want to give up. She had been waiting for him for eight or nine years. It was clear that she was already a beauty, but she didnât talk about anything in the blink of an eye. How could she understand?
Shannon stood in the corridor and heard her daughterâs wailing in the bedroom. She was really upset. This was her mistake. She thought that she would get the chips after she got killed, but she didnât expect that Rodney would come up with such a bad idea.
She dared to be so unscrupulous because she was sure that Rodney would not let her mother be in the midst of the storm. But she did not expect that Rodney would be so out of character that he would talk about this matter on TV.
What should he do now? Since Rodney had personally gone to the TV station to talk about this matter, it meant that he did not want to have anything to do with Celia at all. Was he going to let it go? But how could he not be reconciled?
She had worked hard for seven or eight years, but her plan was ruined in only one day. Shannon was unwilling to give up. She had to win back one round. This matter couldnât be settled like this!
After watching the show, Elliot turned off the TV with a sneer. âThe man Rodney is really brilliant. He did a really good job in such a play, shooting three birds with one stone!â
After receiving his motherâs flustered and exasperated call, Rodney immediately returned to the house to chat. As soon as he opened the door, he was hit by a pillow. He reached out to catch it, but Rachel had already jumped from the sofa and rushed to him. She slapped him in the face.
Rodney didnât dodge at all. Instead, he was slapped in the face. Seeing that his son didnât dodge at all, Rachelâs heart ached as well. However, when she thought of how he had embarrassed himself like this because of a woman, she hardened her heart and said, âYou unfilial son, you unfilial son. You slandered your mother for a woman. Are you still a human? Huh?â
Rodney frowned as he looked at Rachel. âMom, take it easy. Youâre already so old, arenât you afraid of being laughed at by others if word gets out?â
âAre you kidding me? Who dares to laugh at me?â Hearing this, Rachel suddenly remembered that there was an outsider at home. It was really too much for Rodney, the president of the company, to hit him when he was in trouble outside. So she glared at Riya. Riya immediately knew what was good for her and went out, but she did not go far. She continued to wait at the door.
âIâm telling you, if you donât want Celia, I donât mind. But if you want to start over with Amber, donât dream about it. Even if I have to risk my life, I wonât let her enter the Barron family.â Rachelâs roar came from inside. Riya shook her head. It was difficult for her to have such a mother, Rodney.
In the face of Rachelâs roar, Rodney calmly helped her sit down, and then went to pour two glasses of water back. He put one of the glasses in front of Rachel and said, âMom, you should drink a glass of water to cool down. Let me explain it to you slowly.â
Rachel was not drunk at all. âNo matter what tricks you play, I wonât agree anyway.â
âMom, Iâll tell you the truth today. Except for Amber, Iâm not interested in anyone else. You can only choose Amber now.
Otherwise, the Barron family will really have no descendants.â
âDonât try to lie to me. Let me tell you, I will never be fooled!â
âI didnât lie to you. Mom, you can think about it yourself. Have you ever seen me interacting with other women in the past three years?â
âCelia is not a woman?â Shannon asked, âEven if you donât like Celia, donât you have Kelsey?â
âI have never had a romantic relationship with Celia and Kelsey. In addition to the necessary etiquette to take them to attend official occasions, I donât even bother to touch their hands in private.â
âYou... whatâs so good about that woman?â Rachel was so angry that she couldnât speak clearly.
âAll the carrots and vegetables love each other. I like Amber, so I have feelings for her.â
âNo, I canât accept it. You can abandon Celia. I also agree with you to break up with her. I will help you find her again. There are so many rich young ladies. I donât believe that they are not what you like. Take a step back. You donât like rich young ladies. You can also find those young ladies. Anyway, you canât find Amber.â
âBack then, you forced me to divorce because Amber couldnât let the Barron family have descendants. Now that Amber can have children, why canât I start with her?â
âAre all the women who can give birth dead?â Rachel asked.
âThere are many women who know how to give birth to children, but the only woman your son is willing to give birth to is Amber.â
After saying so much, he felt thirsty, so he picked up the cup and drank some water.
âBah! What drug did that vixen feed you? A second married woman who has a child is worth your efforts?â
Rachel snatched the teacup from Rodneyâs hand and smashed it on the ground. âI donât agree. Iâm telling you, donât dream about it. I wonât agree even if you beat me to death.â
âMom, everything is right. Iâm not the seven fairies! Youâre not the powerful Queen Mother either! Isnât it the best thing for everyone to be safe and sound?â
âAnyway, I donât agree. Anyone canât be Amber!â
âMom, Iâm not here to discuss it with you. Iâve already made my decision!â Rodneyâs patience was gone. âNo one can stop me from being with Amber.â
âHow dare you!â
âWhy wouldnât I dare?â Rodney sneered. âIâm telling you that I just hope that my family and everything will be happy. But if you donât want my family and everything to be happy, I wonât force you. If you donât like Amber, we can come back. In short, I want to be with Amber. No one can stop me!â
Rachel was so angry that she rolled her eyes. âWait, wait! I wonât let it go like this.â
Rodney slammed the door and left, while Rachel leaned back on the sofa and got angry. In the past, Rodney welcomed her from both sides, but now it was completely different. If she really married Amber, wouldnât she live a long life? She wouldnât agree to this matter even if she was beaten to death! She wouldnât agree!
Before going to bed, Amber used the test method to test her affair. As a result, two red lines appeared in front of her, which meant that she had been in love for two days. Amber was nervous and excited.
It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to meet Rodney tomorrow. In any case, she had to seize the opportunity and it would be best if she could succeed in one fell swoop. Amber turned on his phone and found that there were many missed calls in it, including Noemiâs, Elliotâs, Channingâs, and Rodneyâs.
She thought about it for a moment and called Rodney. He didnât expect that she would call him at this time. His tone was full of pleasant surprise. âAmber, Iâm downstairs. Iâm going to come up to you.â
âIâll be right down.â Amber hung up the phone.
There was a clear palm print on Rodneyâs face. It seemed to be Rachelâs masterpiece. Sure enough, the female tiger showed its power tonight. Amber pretended not to see it and just asked faintly, âDo you have anything to do with me?â
âAmber, letâs talk, okay?â
âOkay!â
Rodney didnât expect that Amber would be so easy to talk to. It turned out that Amber would be very angry when he thought that he had washed Celia. He didnât know why he hoped that Amber wouldnât be angry, but when he saw her as if nothing had happened, he felt a little uneasy.
Rodney brought Amber back to Scent Villa. Because he had a purpose, Amber had always been very cooperative. She had never been so anxious before. She hoped that Rodney would be the best beast and fall into the house.
However, Rodney was not as she had imagined. He poured a cup of water for Amber and sat opposite her. âDid you see the TV show?â
Amber nodded, but he didnât say anything. He just waited for him to continue. Rodney looked at her and said, âYou must think that Iâm hypocritical and disgusting.â
âA little.â
âAmber, I donât know who is deliberately exaggerating this time. The impact is very bad. I have no choice, so I came up with such a method. Only in this way can I save Celiaâs reputation.â
âYouâre really nice to her!â Amber smiled faintly, and the sarcasm in the corners of his eyes was strong. When she was being scolded as a mistress, she didnât see any action from Rodney, but when Celia was scolded, his heart ached for her. He couldnât wait to help helping her solve the problem, and they were in a tie.
âI just donât want to owe Celia anything. In the past, I owed her so much because of my mother. This time, I really canât bear to see her being dragged into the whirlpool again. So...â
âThatâs why you did such a thing.â Amber interrupted him. âI understand. In fact, you donât need to explain. You and Celia are an unmarried couple. Itâs normal for you to do anything for her. Thereâs no need to explain it to me.â
âAmber, I have to explain this to you. What I said on the show today, except that Celiaâs matter is fake, is true. I have been waiting for you to give me a chance. I have never changed my heart for you!â
âStop! Mr. Barron! I know that men rely on the lower half of their bodies to think. My heart has never changed, but you are raising children with other women? This topic is a little heavy. Even if I believe that you have never changed my heart, so what?â
Amber sneered. âCan I pretend that nothing happened when you cheated on another woman to raise your child?â
Originally, she had agreed to go against her wishes and deal with her own matters. However, when she heard Rodneyâs words, she couldnât help but become angry.
âI didnât cheat! I didnât have any relationship with Celia!â Rodney defended himself.
