Chapter 55: Chapter 56

After hearing Deon’s reply, Breanna had already replied that she would think of a way to get Pierce back home. After that, Rodney was in a very good mood. In the afternoon, he went to see several clients. He had dinner outside, and after dinner, he went to the KTV to play for a while before going home.

On the way home, his phone rang. Rodney picked up a strange female voice and asked, “Is it Mr. Barron?”

“Who are you?” Rodney asked in reply.

“I’m Celia’s friend. Tonight, we have a party. Celia drank too much. Can you pick her up?” Zoe’s voice was indescribably charming.

Rodney was stunned. Celia had always been so gentle and gentle. It was hard to imagine that she would get drunk. He snorted and agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Zoe made a gesture of “OK” toward Celia on the sofa. Celia had been nervous, but she was afraid that Rodney would not pick her up. Seeing that Rodney agreed, she couldn’t help but be happy. So she grabbed the wine on the table and raised her head to drink a glass.

Zoe poured her another glass of wine and said, “Let’s have another drink. The wine can boost your courage. I’ll wait for your good news tonight.”

Celia took the glass and drank it. Zoe immediately dressed her up and made her look like a drunk beauty. Only then did she stop with satisfaction.

When Rodney pushed open the door of the private room, what he saw was a picture of a beauty lying in a drunken state. He didn’t think much about it and went forward to hold Celia, ready to leave. However, she didn’t stop and hung her soft body on him.

Rodney instinctively wanted to push her away, but when he saw Zoe standing aside, he immediately ordered, “Come here and help me help her out!”

Celia was extremely disappointed when she heard his words. It turned out that she thought she would be rewarded by a princess, but she did not expect that Rodney was not going to hug her.

When she thought of how she used to see him carry Princess Amber into the car, she felt both aggrieved and angry.

After Rodney and Zoe helped Celia get in the car, they left her behind and started the car. Celia always thought that he would gently put on the seat belt for him. At that time, she would exert all her skills to confuse him.

Rodney couldn’t fall for it, so she had no choice but to get out of the back seat by herself when he started the car. When Rodney saw her get out of the car in the rearview mirror, he immediately stopped the car. He helped Celia up again, and then reached out to help her fasten her seat belt to see the opportunity. Celia hugged him and kissed him.

Rodney tilted his head to one side. Celia’s lips did not land on his lips as he had expected. Instead, they were printed on his neck.

At this point, Celia couldn’t care so much. She hugged Rodney and rubbed her soft chest against his body. Her mouth was so hot!

Rodney was shocked by her sudden unrestrained behavior. He pushed Celia away and jumped out of the car.

Celia watched as Rodney returned to the driver’s seat. The car sped all the way to the hospital.

Soon, Rodney sent her to the hospital. He didn’t doubt that she was pretending to be drunk. Celia had always been very gentle.

The scene just now frightened him. After arriving at the hospital, he asked the doctor to check her. Not only did he give Celia medicine, but he also gave her a drip.

Finally, he called Shannon and Channing.

The situation was completely different from what Celia had thought at the beginning. Zoe said that as long as she let go of her reservedness and took the initiative to seduce him, Rodney would definitely make trouble for her. At that time, she would make a living.

However, the current situation was completely different. Rodney did not react at all. He dodged her as if he had seen a ghost and pushed her back against the armrest. The pain made her gasp in her heart.

Celia was suffering now. It was all Zoe’s fault. It was a f*cking idea to pretend to be drinking to spend a night with Rodney head over heels.

As soon as the nurse helped her pour the liquid, Channing and Shannon rushed over. Seeing the smell of alcohol on Celia’s body, Channing’s face became extremely ugly.

“How did you educate your daughter?” He turned back and questioned Shannon angrily. “You don’t care about making some messy friends?”

Channing was really angry. Rodney was not very enthusiastic about her, and she had done such a thing. She was so drunk and ugly that she had completely embarrassed him.

Shannon didn’t dare to speak. She hated her daughter for not being able to live up to her expectations. “Why are you making trouble at this time? Isn’t that looking down on Rodney?”

Rodney didn’t know what his family was thinking. Since he had completed his mission, there was no need for him to stay any longer, so he excused himself by saying goodbye and leaving tomorrow.

Watching Rodney leave, Channing was even angrier. He scolded Shannon with a few words, saying that she had no idea how to raise her daughter. Looking at Amber, she had never been out of line in recent years.

After that, he left angrily.

There were only Shannon and her daughter left in the ward. After they left, Celia opened her eyes. Shannon glared at her and said, “What are you trying to do?”

“Mom, I didn’t know it would be like this!” Celia naturally didn’t want to hide anything from her mother, so she told her mother about what she was going to do tonight to seduce Rodney.

Shannon was so angry that she poked her daughter’s head. “You’re so stupid! You’re going to get engaged soon. Why are you in such a hurry?”

“Mom, I’m worried. He used to be very perfunctory to me. Now that Amber is back, he is even more perfunctory. I saw him go to Amber’s house. He must have gone to find Amber. If they start over again, what should I do?”

“So you want to seduce him in such a low-level way?” Shannon snorted. “Do you know that you used the opposite method?”

“You used the opposite method?” Celia was stunned.

“He didn’t touch you when you were fine. How could he touch you when he was drunk? It’s more like he was drunk.”

“He doesn’t drink with me. How can I let him get drunk?”

“Can’t you think of a way?” Shannon sneered. “You’re not afraid of being stolen or being targeted. Don’t you understand that?”

“Then I’ll try to get him drunk next time.”

“Save it. It’s not a matter of getting drunk.” Shannon glanced at her daughter. “You’d better be calm now. You’ll get engaged to him in half a month. I’ll find a way for you then.”

Celia nodded. “I’ll listen to you.”

Pierce waited in the hotel for a long time for his cousin’s call, but there was no response. So he had to call her, only to find that her phone was turned off.

Why did he turn off his phone at this time? He was so anxious that he had to call the aunt who took care of his grandmother. The aunt told him that his grandmother had nothing to do when she woke up, so he didn’t have to worry about his own business.

Pierce was relieved to hear that his grandmother was fine, but he didn’t expect that his cousin, Breanna, called him a few hours ago. “Brother, come back quickly. The doctor said that my grandmother is very bad!”

“Didn’t Auntie say that nothing happened?” Pierce was shocked.

“Grandma asked auntie to lie to you. She didn’t want you to worry about her, so she said that.” Breanna’s voice was a little choked with sobs. “I was going to call you, but grandma didn’t allow me to. I heard that she was sorry to you. She sacrificed your love to let you take over the Tang Group and made you depressed for so many years. She doesn’t want you to suffer anymore. If you like Amber, you can stay with her. She won’t care about you anymore.”

Pierce was stunned by the phone. He didn’t expect his grandma to say that. Breanna sobbed in a low voice. “Brother, come back and see my grandma. I’m worried that you won’t be able to see her when you come back late!”

Thinking of his grandmother’s efforts over the years, Pierce felt sad. “I’ll book a flight right away!”

After hanging up the phone, Breanna stuck out her tongue at the old lady on the sofa. “Grandma, Big Brother said he would come back tomorrow.”

Madam Hammond gave her granddaughter a thumbs-up. “Not bad, your acting skills are getting better and better!”

Breanna walked up to her and sat down. “Grandma, what if Eldest Brother finds out that I helped you trick her and make her angry with me?”

“Grandma won’t let him find out,” Madam Hammond replied.

“I know you won’t let him find out, but I’m afraid it’ll be in danger.”

“There’s no ‘what if’,” Madam Hammond replied. “Since I’m trying to trick him into coming back, I must have made a thorough arrangement.”

“Grandma, I helped you trick my eldest brother back. You have to take my matter to heart.” Seeing the Madam Hammond so sure of Breanna, Breanna was relieved, but she immediately thought of her own business.

Madam Hammond sighed. Why was this grandson and granddaughter so stubborn? In this world, there were women who were better than Amber, but her grandson firmly believed Amber. Although her granddaughter knew that Elliot was in a large group of women outside, she still felt that Elliot was good and did not want to turn back.

Seeing that Breanna thought that she was unwilling to help her, she became anxious. “Grandma, you can’t tear down the bridge after crossing it!”

“Girl, have you really thought it through? The kid from the Mr. Thomson family is a playboy and cunning man. It’s not a good day to be with him.” The old lady reminded her.

“I know he’s a playboy, but I just like him. No one else likes him,” Breanna replied.

Madam Hammond sighed heavily. “When this matter is settled, I will go to the Mr. Thomson family and talk about it. I will settle your matter as soon as possible.”

Hearing Madam Hammond’s words, Breanna’s face lit up.

Pierce booked a flight ticket and called Amber, telling him about the old lady’s illness. Although the Madam Hammond broke her up with Pierce, everyone had a different standpoint. Amber did not hate the old lady so much. He heard that the Madam Hammond was seriously ill, so he was worried and persuaded Pierce to go back immediately.

On the next morning’s flight, Amber and Mel went to the airport to see him off. Seeing that Pierce was reluctant to wipe away his tears, Amber had to comfort him. “Uncle Pierce will be back in a while.”

Mel broke into a smile. “Uncle Pierce, I’ll wait for you to come back and see me.”

After sending Pierce into the departure hall, Amber took Mel home. On the way back, Mel asked Amber, “Mom, my father is not lost, is he dead?”

Amber was stunned. “Who said that?”

“Grandpa said that my father died a long time ago. Mom, you’re not looking for my biological father, but my future father. Is that so? Mom?”

Amber’s heart ached for no reason. She knew that her uncle hated Rodney, so she told Mel like this. She didn’t know how to answer. If she didn’t die, Mel would definitely continue to ask.

She sighed. “Yes... he’s dead.”

A sad look appeared on Mel’s face. “Mom, I don’t want dad anymore. I only want you, my uncle, and Uncle Pierce.”

“Be good!” Amber hugged his soft little body tightly.

“Mom, Dad, what does he look like? Does he look good?” Mel asked again.

“It looks good!” Amber replied.

“Is she as pretty as Uncle Pierce?”

“She’s as pretty as Uncle Pierce!”

“I knew Dad would look good!” Mel crawled into her arms with a smile on her face. “Mom, can I make a request?”

“What request?”

“I want Uncle Pierce to be my father!”

Amber didn’t know how to answer for a moment. Mel was still waiting for her answer. “Mom!”

“No!” Amber shook his head. “Ru Le wants a father, and I will find a father for Mel. Believe me, I will definitely find a father for Mel!”

“But I like Uncle Pierce being a father!”

Amber didn’t say anything. The child only knew who was good to him, but he didn’t know what adults were worried about. Pierce was a star in the sky, and she was just a speck of dust. They were destined to be in the same boat.

Mel was very sensible. When he saw the sad look on his mother’s face, he immediately changed the subject. “Mom, I want to eat Besa.”

“Mom will buy it for you!”

Amber happened to see a Besa store nearby. He got out of the car with Mel in his arms.

There was pleasant music in the car. Rodney sat in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest. He had just received the news that Pierce was going back to see the sick old Breanna. Without Pierce, who was an eyesore, he was in a very good mood. Although he was resting with his eyes closed, his fingers were playing music and taking photos.

Deon, who was driving, unconsciously glanced at Amber, who was crossing the road with Mel in his arms. He exclaimed, “Madam... Miss. Stone is holding a child?”
