âBecause of Itzel.â Issac Shao sighed and told Amber about Itzelâs threat to him. âIf it werenât for Itzel being so hopeless, I would have buried this matter in my heart for the rest of my life. But now, I donât think I can do this anymore. Since Itzel could do such an evil thing to Rachel, she can do it to others. I am afraid that she will hurt people again.â
âDo you have any secrets in Itzelâs hands?â Amber asked in reply. Issac had always been aloof from worldly affairs. He had never offended anyone. The only thing Itzel could threaten Issac was his true identity.
However, over the years, Issac had been very kind to him. His grandmother had married Issacâs father. Although he had nothing to do with Issac because of his blood lineage, he was indeed his uncle. This was not a threat at all.
Issac rarely saw Amber remain silent like this. After a while, he said, âBecause she knows that I like your mother.â
âWhat did you say?â Amberâs voice changed.
âIâve always liked your mother. Because of my identity, I couldnât express my feelings for her. Back then, I didnât return to the Southern City because of the famous painting, but because I knew that my feelings couldnât be admitted by others...â
Issac didnât know what to say. Although he didnât have a blood relationship with Ashley, in terms of courtesy, they were brother and sister. Ordinary people couldnât understand or accept the fact that he liked Ashley.
There was dead silence in the living room. Amber didnât know what to say. It was beyond her imagination.
From the moment she could remember, Issac appeared in her life as her uncle. Later, when her mother passed away, she left Channing and went to find her uncle.
It was her uncle who had been taking care of her. Her uncle was not only her uncle, but also played the role of her father and mother. He was her most trusted relative in this world.
Her most trusted relatives had suddenly changed their identities. He was not Ashton. He was the genius designer, Issac.
Although Amber was shocked, he could still accept it. After all, she had never seen her dead uncle, Ashton, and she had no feelings for him. For her, Issac was Ashton, and Ashton was Issac. They were the same person, and they were both uncles.
But now, his uncle said that he liked his mother. Amber was in a mess. How could his uncle like his mother? They were siblings.
Even if they were not related by blood, they couldnât have other feelings other than siblings. Wasnât this the so-called love disorder in the world?
âAmber, itâs my fault. Your mother doesnât know that I like her. Itâs my wishful thinking and has nothing to do with her. Donât have any bad thoughts about your mother. If you want to hate her, then hate your uncle.â Seeing that Amber didnât speak, Issac was a little flustered.
Amber came back to his senses. Seeing Issacâerâs nervous look, she gave a wry smile. âLet me calm down, let me think about it carefully!â
She really needed to think about it carefully. She got up and walked into the bedroom under Ashtonâs worried gaze. She closed the door and saw Amber sitting by the bed in a daze. How could this be?
Seeing that Amber had shut the door for a long time and there was no movement, Issac could not sit still. He went to knock on the door and called Amber a few times. Amber ignored him. Issac, reached out and pushed the door open. He panicked when he found that the door was locked from the inside. Amber was pregnant now. He told Amber that all this would not have any bad impact on Amber, right? He immediately called Noemi. âNoemi, come back quickly!â
âWhat happened?â Noemi was very surprised.
âItâs about Amber. I canât explain it clearly on the phone. Youâll know when you come back.â Hearing her flustered tone, Noemi didnât ask any more questions. She immediately asked for leave and rushed back.
After thinking about it, Issac was worried that he would call Elliot again and ask him to come back as soon as possible.
The TV station was close to the villa, and it took about half an hour for Noemi to come back. When she entered the door, she saw Issac walking back and forth in the living room. There was no sign of Amber in the living room. Noemi asked, âUncle, where is Amber?â
âAmber is in the room.â Issac pointed to Amberâs room. âNoemi, help me open the door for Amber.â
âWhat happened?â Noemi asked. She and Amber were best friends. Noemi knew how much Amber loved her uncle, Ashton. But now Amber locked the door and couldnât even ask Ashton to leave. There must be something important happening.
âI...â Issac smiled bitterly. âNow is not the time to talk about this. Help me call the door.â
Noemi walked to Amberâs door and knocked on it. âAmber, open the door!â
There was no movement inside. She knocked on the door and shouted a few more times, but still no one answered. Elliot came back and asked when he entered, âWhatâs wrong?â
Issac looked at Elliot. âAmber already knows.â
âWhat do you know?â Elliot did not react for a moment.
âMy identity.â
âWho told her?â Elliot was stunned. Issac pointed at himself. Elliot cried out, âWhat are you telling her at this time?â
Thinking about it, it was not the right time to complain. He rushed to Amberâs door in a few steps and knocked on it a few times.
âAmber, open the door.â
Amber closed the door and sat on the bed. Her mind was in a mess. The two voices alternated to let her choose. A voice said to her, âLove is not something that can be controlled. There is no blood relationship between Issac and Ye Ashley. He loves Ye Ashley. There is nothing wrong with that.â
Another voice was reminding her that although they were not related by blood, they were brother and sister in reputation. This kind of relationship was not allowed.
Issac just liked Ashley. He didnât do anything else. Was it wrong to like a person?
It was not wrong to like someone, but he liked his sister. This was wrong!
The two voices defended themselves. Amber didnât know what to do. At this time, her cell phone rang. After a while, Amber picked up the phone and answered it. A womanâs voice came. âAmber, Iâm Itzel. Letâs meet!â
Why did Itzel want to see him? Amber remembered that people used to say that she looked like Itzel. Someone once said that she and Itzel were mother and daughter. At that time, she didnât pay much attention to them. Now she knew that Itzel was actually a sister of her mother. If she had known that she had such a relative in the past, Amber would have been very happy.
But now, when she knew that Itzel was one of the murderers of Rachel, she couldnât be happy.
She was very clear about how good Rachel was to Itzel. However, Itzel was so heartless that she tried to frame Rachel. One could imagine how disgusting this personâs character was. Itzel had called her as soon as she saw Issac. It was definitely not a good thing. Amber was pregnant now, so he was on high alert. How could he meet such a dangerous person?
She replied faintly, âI donât have time to see you. If you have anything to say, just tell me on the phone.â
âItâs not convenient to talk on the phone, why donât you come out and talk?â
âI told you, Iâm not free!â Amber emphasized. She didnât want to be perfunctory with people like Itzel. âIâll hang up if you donât tell me.â
âWell, since thatâs the case, Iâll tell you that Ashton is not your biological uncle...â
âDr. Lott, you said it too late. I already know.â Amber interrupted Itzel. âThis woman is really not a good person. Fortunately, Issac told her first. Otherwise, she would be shocked by her words.â
Itzel was stunned. She didnât expect him to tell Amber about her identity so quickly. No wonder he was not polite at all when he met her. It turned out that Amber already knew his identity. Itzel hated him in her heart. âWhat I want to say is about Issac and your mother.â
âIssac has already told me about this. You donât have to worry about Dr. Lott anymore,â Amber said with a sneer.
âDid he tell you?â Itzel could not believe that Issac would tell Amber about this. âWhat did he say?â
âWhat he said has nothing to do with you. What else can I do for you?â
Amberâs tone made Itzel angry. She had been trying to scheme against him, but to her surprise, it was useless. She gritted her teeth and said, âI didnât expect you to accept the fact that they were in a mess so calmly.â
âItzel, clean your mouth,â Amber said angrily. âUncle said that he liked his mother, but she didnât know.â
âHe lied to you. Amber, there are too many things that you donât know. Do you know why your mother wanted to marry your father? It was because of her and Issacâs affair that was exposed that she chose to marry Channing in a hurry in order to block everyoneâs mouth.â
âBullshit!â Amber swore.
âDonât be excited! If your mother and Issac were innocent, why didnât she tell you Issacâs identity? When your mother died, you were already sensible. If they didnât have ghosts in their hearts, they wouldnât lie to you at all.â
âItzel, Iâm very clear about what kind of person you are. Youâd better stop here. Itâs useless for me to sow discord.â
âAmber, Iâm just telling you everything I know. Itâs up to you whether you believe me or not. Iâm telling you, Wu Shengfeng lived in the South City in the name of Ashton in order to maintain a relationship with your mother for a long time! If you donât believe me, you can go back and ask Channing. Channing knows clearly about what happened between your mother and Issac. It was he who caught Ashley and Issac in bed!â
âBastard!â Amber was so angry that he was shaking all over. He couldnât help throwing his phone out.
The phone fell to the ground and fell apart. Itzelâs voice disappeared, but what she had just said did not disappear. It was your father who caught Ashley and Issac in bed! It was your father who caught Ashley and Issac in bed!
Itzelâs words rang in Amberâs ears over and over again as if they had taken root. No matter how hard she tried, she could not wave her hands away. Amber held his head in pain.
In her impression, her mother was so gentle and kind. No matter how she looked at it, she did not look like that kind of person. It must be Itzel who was framing her! It was impossible for her mother to cheat on Issac young master! It must be Itzel who was framing her mother. It must be!
