Chapter 84: Chapter 86

After hanging up, Celia looked at her mother and said, “Mom, there’s something wrong with Rodney’s voice!”

“What are you afraid of? Tell me the truth. Your father will bear the responsibility if something happens.”

“But I’m still worried.”

“Don’t be afraid. I’ll pave the way for you.” Shannon sneered. “The little b*tch wants to rob you of your man. There’s no way. I’ll not only let her and Rodney walk the same path, but also make them enemies!”

After listening to her mother’s words, Celia felt relieved and went out to see Rodney.

Rodney’s expression was very ugly. “I have something to ask you!”

“What’s the matter?” Celia’s voice was gentle and weak, looking pitiful. She and Shannon had thought about all possible things and had already found a way to deal with them, so she was not in a panic when facing Rodney.

“Have you always been unaware of the relationship between you and Amber?” Rodney stared at her with his eyes like lightning, as if he wanted to see through her.

“You know all about it?” Celia showed a stunned look, and then immediately lowered her head. “I already knew that she was my sister. Because of my mother, my sister has a very big misunderstanding of us. She has never been willing to admit our relationship.”

Rodney sneered. “So only my mother and I are in the dark? Since you know that she is your sister and you are hated by her, why are you still pregnant on behalf of her?”

“Rodney, I’m sorry! We lied to you about this. At that time, my sister married you and couldn’t give birth for a few years. I also heard that Ms. Grant treated my sister badly. Dad was very worried, so...”

“What is it?”

“Dad always felt sorry for my sister, so did Mom. When they heard that she couldn’t give birth and was tortured by Ms. Grant, they were very distressed. At that time, Ms. Grant said that she wanted to find someone to replace her pregnancy, so Mom thought of me. I didn’t want to agree, but Mom said that this was our only chance to compensate you. As long as I could give birth to a child for you, Ms. Grant wouldn’t torture you. She could live a happy life with you. I also felt that you were pitiful, so I agreed.”

“How can you do this?” Rodney muttered to himself. He had never dreamed that Celia’s replaced pregnancy was because of Channing and his wife’s guilt for Amber. This was the only reason why she, the daughter of the secretary, was willing to do such a thing.

“Rodney, although I’ve always liked you, I’ve never thought of replacing you as my sister. Really!” Celia explained pitifully.

“I never thought about telling my sister that I was pregnant with your child. I just want to secretly give birth to the child, so that Ms. Grant will no longer torture my sister because of the child. You have to believe me. I really have no other purpose!”

Rodney didn’t say anything. His mother was so angry that she almost died, but Celia didn’t complain. When she came out of the operating room, she was so weak that she begged him not to blame Amber, saying that it was his fault.

Later, she heard that her mother forced him to divorce Amber and that Celia came to him with tears all over her face. She said that it was her fault and asked him to make it clear to Amber. She also said that she would go to Amber with him to make it clear.

Later, his mother forced him and Celia to be together. Celia always mentioned Amber in front of him. Her words were full of apologies. He never understood why Celia would be so sorry to Amber. It turned out that the reason was here.

Celia stole a glance at Rodney’s expression and began to wipe her tears with her hands. “Rodney, I’ve always felt sorry for my sister. I’ve always felt uneasy over the years. If it weren’t for me, you and my sister wouldn’t have ended up like this. It’s all my fault! You said you wanted to be with my sister, and I was very gratified, so I agreed without hesitation. As long as you and my sister could be together, I wouldn’t have to be condemned by my conscience, and I wouldn’t have felt guilty when I faced my sister.”

Rodney didn’t say anything. He couldn’t find a place to vent his anger. If what Celia said was true, the culprit of this matter was Channing and Shannon. They sacrificed Celia in order to make up for their mistakes. Celia was innocent, and she was not wrong.

Celia was crying, and Rodney was upset. It was a f*cking accident!

He took out a cigarette irritably, but before he lit it, the phone rang. The nanny said in a panic, “Mr. Barron, come back quickly.

Miss. Stone rushed to the house and quarreled with Madam!”

Amber rushed to his home and quarreled with his mother? Rodney was shocked and immediately stood up. Celia also heard her aunt’s words. “Rodney, I’ll go with you to have a look.”

After Rodney left, Amber went to Ashton’s ward. Ashton’s leg was injured, so he could not move. Amber sat by the bed and talked to Ashton. Mel was playing alone in the ward.

Neither of them noticed when Mel disappeared. Later, a nurse came in with an envelope in her hand. She handed it to Amber.

“Someone asked me to give it to you.”

Amber took the envelope from the nurse in confusion. She opened it and saw that there was only one sentence in it: “Get out of South City if you want the child to be safe and sound!”

“Mel!” Only then did Amber realize that Mel was missing. She ran out in a panic to look for it. She happened to see Noemi coming in. Seeing her panic, Noemi reached out and grabbed her. “What happened?”

“My Mel is gone!”

“Don’t worry. Maybe we can play outside.” Noemi comforted Amber.

Amber was not so optimistic. She handed the note in her hand to Noemi and said, “Noemi, I suspect that Mel was taken away by Rachel. She called me and asked me to leave South City, but I didn’t agree... This old witch, last time she sent someone to make Mel dizzy. This time, it must be her. In order to force me to leave South City, she can do anything. I want to find her.”

“Okay, I’ll take you there!” Noemi held Amber and drove to Rodney’s house.

Rachel sat comfortably in the living room, drinking tea and watching TV. The aunt was cleaning up in the living room. When she heard the doorbell ringing, the aunt went to open the door and was shocked to see Amber. “Young husband... Miss. Stone?”

“Where’s Rachel?” Amber was not polite at all.

“Why are you looking for Madam?”

“There’s no need for you to know. Just tell me if she’s here or not. I have something to talk to her about.”

The auntie looked back at the living room. Amber also saw Rachel on the sofa. Before the nanny could answer, the nanny stopped her. “Miss. Stone, you can’t go in!”

Amber and Noemi would never listen to her. They pushed the auntie away and rushed in. Seeing Rachel, Amber gnashed her teeth and said, “Rachel, you did a good job!”

“Why are you here?” Rachel was shocked to see Amber.

“Where’s my son? Rachel, why are you so vicious? Hand over my son!” Amber glared at Rachel with his eyes full of anger.

Rachel was stunned. “What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by handing over your son? I haven’t seen your son!”

“Do you dare to say that you didn’t send the note?” Amber threw the note to Rachel’s face. “Rachel, you are also a mother. Why are you so cruel?”

Rachel picked up the note and looked at it. She sneered and said, “Amber, are you sick? How can you be sure that I asked someone to send this note?”

“The last time, you sent someone to catch my son. Rachel, I’m telling you, I won’t leave South City. Hurry up and hand over my son!”

“Mrs. Barron, it’s illegal for you to do this. Hurry up and hand over Mel, or we’ll call the police!” Noemi interrupted.

“Call the police? Are you kidding me? You broke into my house and shouted. It’s me who should call the police!” Rachel turned back and said to the auntie, “Throw them out!”

“Miss. Stone, there’s no son here. You’d better leave as soon as possible.” The aunt persuaded.

“If I can’t see my son, I won’t leave. Rachel, I know it’s you who did it. Don’t deny it. Tell me where my son is! Otherwise, you and I won’t be done with each other!”

“Why do you think your son is here?” Rachel was also furious. No one had ever dared to talk to her like this. Amber was so bold that he dared to run wild in her house.

“Do you think it’s great that you can have a baby? If you can have a baby, you have to raise it. It’s impossible for a child like you not to lose it!”

“Aside from you, there is no one else who will hurt my son. You evil old witch, what do you have to do to me? It’s nothing to hurt a child.”

Amber pointed at Rachel. “What on earth did your heart do? Why did you do that to such a young child? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll never be able to reincarnate on the 18th floor of hell?”

Rachel was enraged by Amber’s scolding. She was used to being arrogant, so she slapped Amber with her mouth.

Amber didn’t expect that she would dare to hit him at this time. She was no longer the Amber she used to be. Naturally, she wouldn’t allow her to beat and scold him, so she reached out to block Rachel’s hand.

Because of her anger, Amber exerted a lot of strength. Rachel was pushed back and fell to the ground, which poked the hornet’s nest. Rachel got up from the ground and tried to tear Amber apart. “Oh my god, you dare to hit our door.”

She scolded the auntie who was standing at the side. “Are you blind? Why aren’t you here to help?”

Hearing Rachel’s order, the aunt immediately came forward to help, but was stopped by Noemi. Rachel became anxious and began to curse Amber viciously.

“You little b*tch, how dare you come to my house and hit me! Wait for me to kill you!”

“If you don’t hand over my son, we’ll die together!” Amber was so angry that Rachel came to pull her hair. Naturally, she reached out to grab Rachel’s hair.

Women’s bickering was nothing more than a few moves. After all, Rachel was old and soon she was at a disadvantage.

However, she was not sure that she would admit defeat and continued to curse viciously.

“You have no respect for your elders. No wonder you want a son without a mother to teach you. How can you have a son? Let me tell you, you and your son can’t die a good death!”

It was one thing for her to scold herself, but she even cursed her son and mother. Amber was so mad at her words that he pressed her hard on the sofa. “I’ll strangle you to death! Everyone, don’t want to live anymore.”
