Elliot knocked hard on the door outside and asked Amber to open the door. However, no matter how hard they tried, there was no reply from inside. Worried that something would happen to Amber, Elliot turned to look at Issac and Noemi. âIt seems that I have to knock the door open!â
Issac and Noemi had no other choice but to nod. Elliot stepped back and slammed the door open. When he opened the door and saw Amber sitting on the bed with his head in his arms, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The door suddenly opened, and Amber was shocked. She widened her eyes and looked at the three people at the door, her face full of shock. Noemi closed the door and walked to her side. âAmber, you scared us to death!â
Amber gave a wry smile. âWhy are you back?â
âUncle called to ask us to come back. What happened?â Noemi sat down beside Amber and looked at her with concern.
Amber didnât know how to tell Noemi about this. She twisted her fingers in silence. Noemi didnât force her to look at the broken mobile phone on the ground. She walked over and picked it up. âWho called you just now?â
âItzel.â
âHer?â Noemi was stunned. What did Itzel say to Amber that made him so angry that he smashed his phone? âItzel is not a good person. Donât take her words to heart.â
Itzel was such a vicious woman, so there must be something wrong with what she said. She should not believe it, but Issac young master had admitted that he liked his mother. If there was really something ambiguous between his mother and Issac young master? Amber did not dare to think about it. He was afraid of what might happen, but he was afraid of what might happen!
Noemi picked up the phone and put it on the bedside table. She walked to Amber and sat down next to him. She reached out and took Amberâs hand. âAmber, you are pregnant now, so you canât let your imagination run wild. Itâs not good for you or for the child.â
Amber remained silent. Noemi reached out to hold her hand. âNo matter what happens, I will always support you from behind. I will always be your backing! I will always be your backing!â
Amber looked at Noemiâs sincere eyes and grinned bitterly. âNoemi, Iâm very confused.â
âI know, so I told you not to keep it in your heart. It will be fine if you say it out loud.â
âItâs really embarrassing.â Amber heaved a long sigh and told her about what had happened to Wu Xianjie.
Noemi listened to Amberâs words and comforted her. âAmber, isnât there a saying that goes that a personâs grace is not as big as a personâs grace? Although Issac Shao is not your biological uncle, he has been no different from you over the years. I donât think you should worry about this.â
âNoemi, Iâm not thinking about this. Iâm thinking about another thing. Issac actually likes my mother.â Amber smiled bitterly.
âAlthough they are not related by blood, I still feel uncomfortable...â
Noemi was startled. It was hard for Amber to accept this matter. After thinking for a while, she said, âAmber, Issacâer and your mother are not related by blood. Our country doesnât ban direct blood relationship between blood relatives of more than three generations. Even if Issacâer and your mother are in a relationship, itâs not against the law. Whatâs more, there is no progress between them. Itâs just that Issacâer likes your mother only. Love is not something that can be controlled by human beings. Itâs a matter of the last generation. You can take it easy.â
âNoemi, do you know what Itzel just called me and told me?â Amber bit his lip. âShe said that Issac didnât have a good relationship with my mother and that Channing caught her in bed. I... I really canât imagine it.â
âItzel is so vicious. What she said must be fake.â Noemi shook her head. âAmber, that woman must be trying to provoke you. You canât fall into her trap.â
âI donât believe what she said is true. Iâm just afraid of what... what if itâs true?â
âAmber, even if itâs true, it has nothing to do with you. As I said, Issac and your mother are not related by blood. Even if they are together, they canât be called rebels.â
âNoemi, I know you are doing this for my own good, and I also know that I shouldnât be entangled in this, but I really donât want things to become like this. My mother, she... she has a different position in my heart. Channing has already made me very disappointed. I donât want my mother to become like this, do you understand?â
Channing had cheated on Amber during the wedding, causing a great shadow in Amberâs life. If his mother had not had much affair with Issac during the wedding, Amber could not accept it at all.
âAmber, since thatâs the case, you should trust your mother even more. She wonât be that kind of woman, and she wonât let you down.â Noemi comforted him. âAlso, I think you should also trust Master Wu. Since he dares to say this to you, it proves that he has no ghosts in his heart.â
âIf he had told me this earlier, I would have believed that there was no ghost in his heart, but now I know that he had no choice but to tell me these things. If Itzel hadnât threatened him, he would have buried these things in his heart for the rest of his life.â
âI think you misunderstood Issacâer. He doesnât want to tell you that he doesnât want to cause trouble for you. Now he has no choice but to tell you all this because he is afraid that you will be hurt. You should believe in the character of such a person who has been thinking about you all the time.â
Noemi was telling the truth. Amber knew very well how good Issac had been to him over the years. She should believe in him and her mother.
Noemi stayed in the room to comfort Amber, while Elliot and Issacâer anxiously sat on the sofa in the living room and waited for the result. Elliot couldnât help complaining to Issacâer. âWhat are you talking about at this time? Isnât this making trouble?â
âI didnât intend to tell Amber about these things, but Rodney came to me and told me something about Itzel. You Ran and Rodney were separated because of Itzel. I donât feel good.â Issac told Elliot what Rodney and he had said when they met.
âItzel has been more thoughtful than others since she was a child. Besides, she has done many bad things in recent years. I was worried that she would have any bad thoughts about Amber, so I thought about telling him what happened that year. At that time, I just didnât intend to say it. Today, Itzel came to me again, and she treated me as a fool. Her words implied that she wanted me to take Amber away. I was really angry, so I told her some unpleasant words. Later, I thought that Itzel could no longer be saved.
She could do anything for her purpose. I was afraid that she would talk nonsense to Amber and think that I would be better if I talked to him first, but I didnât expect that Amberâs reaction would be so strong.â
âItzel and Ashley are sisters after all. As the saying goes, a dead man dies a hundred times. No matter how much hatred you have, it should disappear with Ashleyâs death. However, she has always been upset. She has helped Shannon and her daughter to deal with Amber several times. Itâs really hateful!â Elliot was very angry. âWhat benefits did Shannon and her daughter give her to let her spare so much effort?â
Wu nearly laughed bitterly. âShe and Shannon are in cahoots with each other. She has done many evil things in the past few years. There must be some secrets between them that canât be revealed.â
When it came to Shannon, Elliot thought of Ashleyâs death. âDo you know Shannon?â
âI donât know,â Issac replied. âI used to think that she was a good person, but I didnât know that she had an affair with Channing.
You can imagine how bad her character is.â
âTo become the secretaryâs wife from the social affairs of gangsters, Shannon is not an ordinary person.â Elliot sneered. âBy the way, have you ever suspected that Ashleyâs death is abnormal?â
Issac shook his head. âThe death of Ashley was just an accident. The driver ran away after hitting someone. Later, he was caught and sentenced for ten years. At that time, he was only sentenced for three years. It was Channing who found someone and gave him the most serious punishment.â
Elliot sneered. âChanning is really hypocritical. If he hadnât cheated on Shannon, and if Shannon hadnât gone to Ashley to expose their scandal, Ashley wouldnât have been in trouble at all. He and Shannon were the cause of all this. He did this just to make himself feel at ease.â
âWhat did you say? Shannon is looking for an incense burner? How did you know that?â Issac was very surprised.
âMy mother told me.â Elliot told Issac less about what Lannie told him. âI showed my mother the photo of Shannon. She said that the person who met Ashley at that time was Shannon. I suspect that Ashleyâs death has a lot to do with Shannon.â
Issac couldnât believe it at all. âCould it be that your mother has mistaken you for someone else? At most, Shannon didnât hurt people so viciously because of her loose morals, did she?â
âNo, when my mother saw Shannonâs photo, she identified her as the person who met Ashley. As for the viciousness, what Shannon has done so far is vicious? The man who seduced his good friend wanted to frame Amber for Celiaâs vicious method of killing Rachel. By the way, last time, Noemi hit Celia, but she didnât move on the surface, but secretly asked someone to hurt Noemi. Fortunately, I was there at that time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.â
Elliot sneered. âIn the past, I was just suspicious. But with what she has done recently and the fact that Ashley had a car accident after meeting her, I can almost be sure that she must have said something improper to Ashley in order to take the throne. It was she who indirectly caused Ashleyâs death.â
Issacâs face turned blue. âShannon secretly came to see Ashley. No wonder Ashley told me on the phone that Channing had an affair with a child. So it was not a coincidence that Ashley had an accident, but a car accident caused by Shannon?â
He raised his head and his face suddenly changed. âAmber! You...â
No one knew when Amberâs door opened. Noemi and Amber stood at the door and looked at them motionlessly. It seemed that she had heard what Elliot had just said.
Under Issacâs surprised gaze, Amber walked up to Elliot step by step. âCan you repeat what you just said?â
