Chapter 49: Chapter 50

“Why?” Elliot glared at Pierce. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Let’s compete fairly now.”

“Elliot, you are not qualified to compete fairly with me.” Pierce did not take him seriously at all. “Will the Thomson family agree that you, the young master, marry a divorced woman?”

“Will the Hammond family allow you to marry a divorced woman again?” Elliot retorted. Pierce’s expression changed. “This has nothing to do with you. I’ll handle it myself.”

“Pierce, you are different from me. You are the young master and have the hope of the Hammond family. If you insist on your own way, those old guys in the Hammond family will be pissed off by you. But I am different. I am just the most useless person in the Thomson family. No one will pay attention to me.”

“I can fight them to the end.” Pierce’s eyes darkened.

“But it’s impossible for Amber to spend the rest of his life with you.” Thomson smiled angrily. “You’re a gentleman, unlike me. I’m originally a villain, so I naturally have my own ways. Do you think those old fellows of the Thomson family would be happy to die when they see you?”

“Why are you so despicable?” Pierce glared at him. “Elliot, don’t play tricks. If I knew you bullied Amber, you would know the consequences!”

“Pierce, you don’t have to be so arrogant. If Amber likes you, you don’t have to wait until today. In my opinion, you have been eliminated!” Elliot was very confident in himself.

“Come on, you’re famous. You’re not leisurely at all. What she hates most is people like you who eat in a bowl and look at the pot.” Pierce was not polite.

Elliot was not angry when he heard that. Instead, he brought up another topic. “Pierce, who is Amber’s ex-husband?”

“Go ask her yourself.”

“If she told me, would I still be able to ask you?” Elliot glared at him. “Tell me, I’m begging you.”

“Why do you know this?”

“I’m going to teach that old guy a lesson and let him know how serious the consequences of cheating!”

These words made Pierce laugh. “I can’t tell you about this. I promise Amber.”

“Tell me, is that guy in South City?”

Pierce nodded, and Elliot looked excited. “Do you do business?”

Pierce nodded. Elliot asked again, “Is the average size?”

“Very big!” Pierce replied.

“There’s only one person in my eyes who’s engaged to a man of great scale? Is Amber’s husband Rodeny?” Elliot thought for a moment and shook his head. “Of course not. If it was Rodney, why would Channing give his second daughter to him?”

Pierce was shocked by his guess, but when he saw him deny it, he felt relieved. “Well, it’s almost time. You can go back. I’m going to rest!”

The next day, Pierce went to the Parableutions. At the door of the president’s office, he saw Amber standing outside the corridor, pointing at the office with a smirk.

“What happened?” Pierce was confused.

“Miss Lily has caught up with the company.” Amber lowered his voice.

Pierce burst into laughter. Amber was no longer in the mood to watch the show when he saw him. “Go to my office!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened. Elliot stared at them fiercely. “How did you become an assistant? Why didn’t you report an important client?”

Seeing Elliot’s wrinkled clothes and the bright red lipstick marks on his face and neck, Amber almost laughed out loud. “How fierce is the battle?”

But the time was too short, wasn’t it? Lily had entered the office and she had only been out of the office for a few minutes. Could it be that Elliot had already given up?

Elliot didn’t care what she was thinking. He reached out and pulled Pierce to the office next to him. As he walked, he told Amber, “Clean up my office.”

Amber stood outside for a while before pushing the door open. There was nothing in the room that needed to be cleaned up. It was as tidy as before. Lily was sitting on the sofa with her clothes in disarray. Her face looked very ugly when she saw her coming in.

Amber pretended to pick up Elliot’s cup and left. It was not fun for Lily to stay here, so she also got up and left the Parableutions.

In the office on the other side, Pierce pointed at Elliot and laughed. “Elliot, let’s see what you look like.”

“What are you laughing at? I’m not disturbed. Can you do it?”

“Don’t worry? You look like you just had your fill.” Pierce stopped laughing. “Your clothes are in disarray and your face is covered with lipstick marks. How fierce was the battle just now?”

“No, I don’t.”

“Who believes you?” Amber pushed the door open and walked in. She was holding two cups of tea in her hand. She walked straight to Elliot and Pierce and put down the tea.

Elliot looked Amber up and down carefully. Seeing her looking down, he was a little flustered. Just now, Lily kissed him as soon as she entered the door. At that time, Amber was standing aside. He didn’t know if she would be angry in her heart.

No, he stated his position. “Call the receptionist immediately. Don’t let anyone go to the company!”

Amber obediently grabbed the phone on his desk and put it on. “Clem, Mr. Thomson said, don’t let anyone go to the company in the future!”

Clem had a good relationship with Amber. “Sister Ye, I don’t have anyone to let go of. Mr. Thomson specially ordered Miss Lily.”

Amber looked at Elliot, who was a little embarrassed. “Tell her not to let her in from now on.”

Amber repeated Elliot’s words. “Mr. Thomson said that don’t let her in from now on.”

“I got it!” Clem replied.

Amber hung up the phone. Elliot’s phone rang. She looked at him and asked, “President Mr. Thomson, is it Miss Lily?”

“Take it and have a look!”

Amber turned on the speaker and heard Lily’s voice. “Miss. Stone, I have a question for you.”

“What’s the problem?”

“Is there something wrong with Mr. Thomson’s body?”

“No? Mr. Thomson is in good health!”

“I mean, would there be an accident in the last car accident? For example, did you hurt some male functions?”

Amber said seriously, “I’m just an assistant. I don’t know much about the president’s personal affairs.”

Lily hung up the phone in disappointment. When Amber hung up the phone, Pierce was laughing hysterically, while Elliot was speechless.

When Pierce came back, Rodney was in a particularly bad mood. Deon’s investigation told him that Pierce’s return was not a big deal, and that his target was Amber.

Rodney’s eyes darkened. He was very clear about the relationship between Pierce and Amber. If it weren’t for the fact that Breanna threatened Amber with the inheritance of Pierce, Amber wouldn’t have broken up with Pierce.

This matter had always been a sore point in his heart. Amber chose him not because he loved him, but because he wanted to fulfill Pierce’s wish. Although their relationship after marriage was so good that it was like a tie, Rodney knew very well that Pierce was a pain in Amber’s heart that he could not touch.

He had been carefully taking care of this hard-earned relationship, but he couldn’t keep it because he was careful. Amber’s heart never belonged to him.

Rodney sighed, and his phone suddenly rang. It was Channing. He said that he had bought some fresh seafood at home and asked him to have a drink. Mu Rodney did not respect Celia, but he could not refuse Channing so he agreed.

He couldn’t go empty-handed when he was eating. Rodney told Deon to buy a gift and go to the Black family after work. He spent more than an hour on the road and finally arrived at the Black family home at seven o’clock in the evening.

Celia, who had been looking around at the door, saw Rodney’s car appear. She ran over happily and said, “I thought you were busy and didn’t come.”

“Since you promised uncle that you would come, why didn’t you come?” As she spoke, Rodney took out the gift that Deon bought from the trunk. Celia’s face was filled with joy. She thought that Rodney had wasted so much time on buying the gift. “You haven’t finished eating the nutritious products that you bought for your mother last time.”

As she spoke, Shannon also came out. “It’s enough as long as you’re here. Why do you have to spend so much money?”

Rodney smiled politely. “That’s what I should do!”

After entering the living room, the auntie had already laid out the dishes. Channing had just ordered the auntie, “Bring me my treasured good wine. I’ll have a good drink with Rodney today!”

“Dad, Rodney doesn’t have a good stomach.” Celia reminded him. Back then, Rodney had been drinking and drunk for Amber every day. Now, he often had stomach problems.

“Girl, do you think your father is a drunkard? It’s just a little wine to cheer him up.” Channing said with a smile, “It’s true that a grown-up girl can’t be kept at home. How can she cheat before getting married?”

“Dad!” Celia glared at Channing, and then glanced at Rodney. He smiled and said nothing. She had been with her for so long, but she had never seen any other expression on his face. He always smiled gently, as if he would never lose his temper.

Although this kind of Rodney gave people a feeling of intimacy, it was unreal, as if he was wearing a mask.

Everyone was saying that Rodney was good to her and was gentle to her, but Celia knew that it was not good. If a person had to hide his emotions in front of her, it was clear that he was resisting her approach.

She suddenly felt a little bitter in her heart. Compared with Amber, she was nothing! Although Amber was naked, when had she ever won?

After dinner, Rodney and Channing went to the study. For the sake of his daughter’s future happiness, Channing had to give Rodney an explanation for the previous city development.

It was the first time that Rodney had entered Channing’s study. He sat down on the sofa in the study. Shannon brought tea in person, closed the door, and left.

After Channing explained what had happened last time, he said that there would be a sports meeting in South City soon, and he would fight for the right to participate in the sports after Rodney.

Originally, Rodney did not have much doubts about not getting the bid for the company’s shares. Now that Channing had given him such a big compensation, he keenly felt that things might not be so simple.

Elliot should have used some means to get the company’s development. Suddenly, he thought of the meeting between Channing and Amber. Could it be related to Amber?

“It’s impossible. What right does Amber have to influence Channing?”

While they were talking, Channing’s phone rang. He interrupted their conversation and began to answer it. It seemed that it was about work. He talked for a while. Rodney felt a little depressed, so he picked up a book on Channing’s desk and flipped through it.

However, he didn’t expect that a photo would fall out of it. He picked up the photo and was about to put it back in the book. When he inadvertently saw the person in the photo, he was stunned as if he had been struck by an electric shock.
