Chapter 163: Chapter 165

Channing had just left the tea room and returned home. Shannon came back to greet him when she saw him. “Why are you so early today?”

Channing had just snorted. “Where’s Celia?”

“She’s sleeping upstairs.”

“Why are you sleeping in the daytime? Ask her to come down. I have something to ask her.” Channing’s face had just darkened.

Shannon immediately went downstairs and pushed open the bedroom door. She lowered her voice and said, “Your father wants to know about you and Rodney. You should follow Itzel’s words. Don’t make any mistakes, okay?”

“Got it.” Celia tidied up and went out of the bedroom.

Looking at Channing in the living room with a gloomy face, Celia felt a little nervous. She didn’t know why she was afraid of Channing. “Dad, you are looking for me.” Celia tried her best to say as if nothing had happened.

Channing snorted and motioned for Celia to sit down opposite him. “What’s going on between you and Rodney?”

“Dad, is there anything between him and me?” Celia replied with an innocent look.

“Is there really nothing wrong?” Channing had just looked at Celia. “Let me ask you, have you ever seen Rodney in private?”

“Yes.” Celia lowered her voice.

“Is it really because of you that Amber and Rodney ended up in such a mess?”

“Dad, this has nothing to do with me.”

“It really has nothing to do with me?” Channing looked at her coldly. Celia was frightened by Channing’s gaze. “Dad, I’m innocent too! It’s all because of Rodney... He was drunk... and then... I... I didn’t say anything, and I didn’t even say anything about mom.

It’s really none of my business whether my sister has a conflict with him or not.”

This was admitting that she had slept with Rodney. Channing had been hoping that Itzel was spouting nonsense, but now it was confirmed that she had fainted from anger.

He grabbed the glass in front of him and smashed it on the ground. “Didn’t I warn you not to get close to Rodney? How can you ignore my words?”

“I didn’t mean it... Dad... I really didn’t know it would become like this.” Celia sobbed and cried.

“Kelsey called me and told me that Rodney was drunk and asked me to pick him up. I didn’t think much about it, but I didn’t know that... Rodney was like a madman when he saw me. No matter how I struggled, it was useless. Later... he fell asleep, and I... I sent him home. Only Ms. Grant knew about it. I can guarantee that no third person knew about it.”

“If you don’t want others to know, unless you can’t do it. Don’t you know such a simple reason?”

“What happened?” Shannon came over in a panic.

“You taught your daughter well and did a good job!” Channing glared at Shannon fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

“Dad, it’s my fault. It has nothing to do with mom. She doesn’t know anything. You can scold me if you want!” Celia knelt on the ground with a thud. “I’ll explain it to my sister... It’s not Rodney’s fault!”

“Explain what? You can make Amber and Rodney together by explaining?” Channing glanced at Celia, who was crying bitterly.

“In the future, stay at home obediently and don’t go anywhere!”

After saying this, she angrily entered the study and saw that the door of the study was closed. Shannon reached out to help Celia up. When the mother and daughter looked into each other’s eyes, they were both full of pride.

After Noemi broke up with her colleagues, she went back to Elliot’s villa and bought Mel’s favorite snacks on the way. Mel was very happy to see Noemi and asked, “Aunt Noemi, have you brought me anything delicious?”

“Little gluttony cat, I knew you were greedy, so I brought you your favorite snacks.” As she spoke, she took out the snacks she bought on the way and handed them to Mel.

“It’s you who spoil him.” Amber reached out and touched Mel’s head. Looking at his son’s happy face, he smiled and said, “Don’t thank me.”

“Thank you, Auntie!” Mel thanked her sweetly.

“Little gluttony cat, go and eat. I have something to say to your mother.” Mel went to the side obediently. Noemi pulled Amber aside. “I just saw Itzel and your father in the tea room. What do you think Itzel wants to see your father for?”

“How would I know?” Amber shook his head.

“Itzel is so beautiful and she’s not married. Could it be related to your father?”

“No way!” Amber shook his head.

“Why not? Itzel looks so much like your mother. Maybe your father thinks she’s your mother’s shadow.”

“What’s in your brain?” Amber shook his head. “Let me tell you, Itzel is Elliot’s father’s lover.”

“Ah!” Noemi was shocked. “Elliot is my father’s lover? Does Elliot know that?”

“Of course I know!” A sudden voice sounded. Elliot appeared in front of the two of them without anyone noticing.

“I...” Noemi blushed. Although she meant no harm, she still felt embarrassed when someone caught the gossiper behind her.

“We’re not saying bad things about you...”

“I know. I heard what you said.” Elliot looked indifferent. “This isn’t a secret in the first place.”

Noemi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn’t blame her. She looked at Amber and said, “In fact, it’s not the first time I saw Itzel meet your father. I saw them meet in the tea room again before. They looked mysterious. When they entered the tea room, they looked around. I felt strange at that time. I wanted to tell you, but I forgot later.”

“When did it happen?” Amber was surprised.

“Let me think about it.” Noemi rubbed her forehead. “I can’t remember the specific time clearly. It seems that you haven’t moved into the Black family for a long time.”

“Is it true that a dog can’t change its bad habits?” Amber’s face suddenly darkened. Channing had just cheated on Shannon behind his mother’s back. Now he might cheat on Itzel behind Shannon’s back.

“It’s good to cheat on her. It’s called karma.” Noemi snorted. “Back then, Shannon seduced a married man. Now, I’ll let her have a taste of her husband being seduced by another woman.”

“It’s best if this matter is true. That way, we’ll have a chance.” Elliot agreed. He naturally knew that the relationship between Itzel and Channing was that of his brother-in-law and sister-in-law. However, since Ashton did not allow him to tell Amber about this matter, he naturally did not mention it.

However, he didn’t like Itzel at all. If he sent the photos of her meeting with Channing to Shannon, she would mistakenly think that it would be easy to see the scene of Channing having an affair with Itzel. It would be best to let the two of them fight.

“You’d better follow them and send the photos of Mr. Black and Itzel to Shannon. She’ll die of anger.”

“That’s a good idea. Why don’t we find someone to follow us...”

“You two really don’t want the world to be in chaos.” Amber interrupted Noemi. “I only care about my son now. I don’t care about anyone else.”

“I know you are like this.” Noemi curled her lips. “I don’t want the position of the secretary’s daughter. Only you can give it to an illegitimate daughter. If I were you, I wouldn’t want mistress to marry into the family.”

“That’s because you’re a bystander, not the person involved.” Amber sighed.

“After knowing that Channing had just cheated and had an illegitimate daughter, I was extremely disappointed in him. When I was a child, he was so lofty in my heart that I couldn’t accept it at all. You may not be able to accept it even if it was for you.”

Elliot nodded. “You’re right. Only the person involved can understand the reason, and others can’t understand it. But I’ve always been curious about Amber. Have you ever thought about taking revenge on Shannon and her daughter?”

It was hard for ordinary people to forgive their mistress, but he didn’t see Amber’s extreme behavior toward Shannon and her daughter. Did she not hate him at all?

“What’s the point of getting revenge on them?” Amber asked, “It’s not completely Shannon’s fault that she didn’t slap them.”

“How could it not be her fault? If she hadn’t shamelessly seduced your father, would your mother have had a car accident?

Noemi retorted.

“Of course, my mother’s car accident can’t rule out the possibility of Channing having an affair, but most of the reason is that she loved the wrong person. She put her mind on a man, which led to the tragedy. That’s why I hate Channing. If it weren’t for him, all this wouldn’t have happened. Now, think about my mother, she’s too stupid. She abandoned her young daughter for a man who didn’t deserve to sacrifice her life...” Amber’s voice was sad and he didn’t continue.

“If, if it was Shannon who seduced your father, schemed against your mother, and broke up your family, would you have thought of revenge?” Elliot asked tentatively.

“If you’re telling the truth, I’ll definitely seek justice for my mother!” Amber replied. “But I heard from my uncle that she had a car accident on the front line. It was an accident.”

Elliot didn’t say anything else. He couldn’t figure out the truth of that year, but he was sure that Ashley’s accident had something to do with Shannon.

Was he going to tell Amber all this? Seeing how haggard Amber was for his son, he couldn’t bear to do so. He decided to let this matter be. He would tell Amber when he found the evidence.

When Elliot was about to leave, Noemi volunteered to see him off. When she walked to the door, she lowered her voice and asked, “Elliot, what did you mean by that?”

“What are you talking about?” Elliot asked.

“It’s Shannon who schemed against Amber’s mother. Do you think she found some evidence?” Amber was focused on his son and did not pay attention to Elliot’s words, but Noemi was different. She keenly felt that there was something hidden in Elliot’s words. Just now, Amber did not ask her, so she would not miss Elliot and her.

“I didn’t have any evidence, I just said it casually.” Elliot certainly wouldn’t tell Noemi about it.

“I thought you had evidence.” Noemi was a little disappointed.

“Shannon was originally the best friend of Amber’s mother, but she shamelessly seduced her best friend’s husband. It’s so hateful. The most annoying thing is that she seduced Amber’s mother’s husband and even let her daughter seduce Amber’s husband. I don’t like it at all. I always want to vent my anger on Amber. To tell you the truth, what I just said is true. I really hope that Channing cheated and let that disgusting woman repay him.”

Noemi was so evil that she could not tolerate Shannon and her daughter at all. This was the same as Elliot, and he had the same character.

“I can understand your feelings for Amber, but you have to eat one bite at a time. We have to pay more attention to this matter.

Foxs will always show their tail.”

“So, are you going to pay attention to this matter?” Noemi was excited. She had always wanted to catch Shannon’s tail, but she was alone and weak. If Elliot was willing to help, it would be much better than just thinking about it alone.

“Yes.” Elliot nodded. “I don’t pay much attention to Channing. After all, he is Amber’s father. He is vicious and will not eat his son.

He won’t do anything to Amber. But Shannon is different. I have to pay more attention to her.”

“Yes, I also think I should pay more attention to Shannon. I have something to tell you. Last time, when I was having dinner with Amber, I saw Shannon and a man in a car on the road. Their hands were clasped together.”

“Are you telling the truth?” Elliot looked interested.

“I’m not sure. I was a little far away at that time, and the woman was wearing a hat and sunglasses. I was not sure. But when I called Aunt Maleah, she said that Shannon was not at home and went to do beauty care. She said that as long as Channing had something to do, Shannon would definitely do beauty care. She would do it for a long time. I think it’s very strange, so...”

“I see. I’ll pay attention to Shannon. I’ll let you know if anything happens!”
