Chapter 96: Chapter 98

Rodney stood at the door with a gloomy face. He received a call from Celia, saying that his mother went to find Amber. His mother had a bad temper, and Amber was not a good-tempered person.

He was worried that there would be a conflict between them, so he rushed over immediately. At the door, he heard his mother begging Amber, but Amber asked him if he was a cat or a dog. Rodney was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

“Why are you here?” Rachel was shocked when she saw her son. Rodney didn’t answer but stared at Amber for a while. Then he reached out to Amber and said, “Miss. Stone, let’s get to know each other. I’m Rodney. I’m neither the cat nor the dog you’re talking about.”

Amber ignored his outstretched hand. “Mrs. Barron, I have nothing to say to you. I hope you won’t call me or come to the company to find me such a childish behavior in the future.”

She said that she would leave without looking at him, but he reached out and grabbed her hand. “Wait a minute!”

Amber stopped. “Please behave yourself, Sir!”

Rodney’s voice was ice-cold. “Miss. Stone, don’t you think it’s a little rude to speak to an elder like this? Please apologize!”

“Elder?” Amber sneered. “Who is an elder?”

“Although we are divorced, you can’t deny that you once called her ‘Mom’, can you?”

Amber sneered. “I don’t have a good memory. I can’t remember people and things that are irrelevant to me. The memories you mentioned don’t exist anymore! And I remember that my mother died a long time ago.”

“If you don’t remember, I will slowly make you remember. Now, please apologize!” Rodney repeated.

“What can you do if I don’t apologize?” Amber sneered. “Rodney, remember, I used to apologize to her because you were my husband. But now, who do you think you are? What right do you have to ask me to apologize to a stranger?”

“Because I used to be your husband!”

“Yo! Rodney, you’re so arrogant!” The door was pushed open and Elliot walked in with a sullen face.

Mo Fei was taken aback when he saw Elliot’s sudden appearance. Why was he here?

Although Elliot used to suspect that something was wrong between Amber and Rodney, he would never have thought that Rodney was Amber’s ex-husband because Celia was Rodney’s woman.

In Elliot’s subconscious mind, the two sisters might fall in love with the same man, but as the secretary, Channing would definitely not let his two daughters have anything to do with Rodney.

The worst thing about Amber was that his husband had cheated on him and his ex-husband had left his family. In his eyes, Rodney didn’t look like that kind of disgusting person at all, so he didn’t think about it at all.

Until today, when he saw Rachel coming to see Ye You, he realized that something was wrong. Why did Rachel come to see Amber? Elliot felt strange and followed him.

He came earlier than Rodney, but he didn’t go up. Although Elliot was usually casual, he was a man of principle and disdained eavesdropping. Therefore, he sat in the car downstairs and waited for Amber and Rachel to come down and ask him what had happened.

However, he didn’t expect to see Rodney here. Seeing Rodney enter the cafe in a hurry, Elliot instinctively felt that things were not so simple, so he followed him into the cafe and wanted to see what was going on.

When Elliot heard the words of his ex-wife at the door, he was stunned. The man who Amber married was actually Rodney?

When he heard that Rodney asked Amber to apologize, Elliot’s anger rose immediately. Without thinking too much, he rushed in.

Elliot stopped in front of Amber and Rodney. “Mr. Barron, are you holding your sister-in-law’s hand like that?”

“Get lost!” Hearing the words “sister-in-law” in his ears, Rodney felt as uncomfortable as being poked by a needle. He roared at Elliot fiercely.

Elliot was not annoyed. “Am I wrong?” He pretended to look at Rachel. “Ms. Grant, you’re right. Isn’t Rodney engaged to Mr.

Black’s second daughter? Amber is Mr. Black’s eldest daughter. Isn’t she Director Mu’s eldest sister-in-law? What does it look like for brother-in-law to hold his sister-in-law’s hand? Do you want to see anyone if this gets out?”

His words were reasonable. Rodney let go of Amber’s hand dejectedly. Elliot held Amber’s hand, which Rodney had just pulled over, and blew on it.

Then, with a strange smile, he suddenly slammed his fist heavily on Rodney’s face.

Before Rodney could react, blood oozed out of the corner of his mouth again. Elliot punched him again. “I’ve been wondering who the heartless ex-husband is. It’s you. Mr. Barron, I must teach you a lesson today!”

After two consecutive punches, Rodney and Elliot began to fight back and forth. Rachel was so scared that she screamed. The two people did not care about their dignity. First, they punched and kicked each other, and then they twisted to the ground.

At first, Amber was also stunned by this sudden situation. After a while, he came to his senses and saw that Elliot was obviously at a disadvantage among the two twisted people on the ground. Thinking that Elliot did it because of him, she naturally would not let him suffer losses, so she also kicked Rodney.

When Rodney saw that she was partial to Elliot, he felt his chest was filled with anger. His actions were even more ruthless than before. Amber did not care anymore when he saw this.

At a glance, she saw a vase with a decoration beside her. She grabbed it and threw it at Rodney. Seeing this, Rachel stepped forward and pushed Amber. Amber lost his balance. The vase was originally aimed at Rodney’s head, but now it changed direction and hit the two people who were entangled.

Elliot and Rodney were having a hard time fighting. At the same time, the two of them, who had been hit by the vase, suddenly stopped and looked at Amber in disbelief.

Amber looked at Elliot, at a loss. “I... I didn’t mean to smash you!”

As she spoke, she hurried forward to help Elliot. Elliot grinned and said, “Next time, hit it accurately. Why don’t you stay aside and don’t make any more trouble?”

Rodney stood to the side and watched the conversation between the two of them with a tearing pain in his heart. Although he had gained the upper hand in the fight with Elliot, he was the first one to be beaten and injured. However, Amber was indifferent.

She even hit him with a vase! What on earth did this woman’s heart do? How could she be so cruel?

Amber didn’t look at Rodney. She was worried that Elliot wouldn’t get hurt, so she helped him up and walked to the door. “I’ll take you to the hospital!”

Rodney stared fixedly at the backs of the two of them leaving like a statue. Seeing that his son had maintained that posture, Rachel could only take the initiative to ask, “Rodney, are you all right?”

Rodney didn’t say anything. Rachel continued, “Son, you’re bleeding. I’ll send you to the hospital for treatment!”

“You won’t die yet!” Rodney said fiercely.

Amber was focused on driving the car. Elliot stared at her face. He was very surprised. It should be said that he was shocked. He never dreamed that Rodney was Amber’s ex-husband. No wonder Amber refused to tell him who his ex-husband was. No wonder he always felt that there was something subtle between her and Rodney. It turned out to be like this!

Thinking about how Rodney had cheated on Amber during his marriage, Elliot truly felt that it wasn’t worth it for Amber. This man had given up such a good wife for another woman. What a bastard!

“Your son is Rodney?” He couldn’t help but ask.

Amber nodded. “He’s just my son and has nothing to do with Rodney. I hope you don’t tell anyone about my son. Besides Pierce and my uncle, you’re the fourth person to know about it.”

“Rodney doesn’t know?” Elliot was taken aback. Amber was a ruthless woman. He didn’t even tell Rodney that he had a son. If Rodney knew that he had a son, what kind of mood would he have?

However, when he thought about how Rodney had cheated on his wife, he felt that Amber’s actions were too right. He had to treat a man who had cheated on him like this. “Who was the one who had cheated on him?”

Even now, Amber felt that there was nothing to hide. “Actually, the main reason why I divorced him is not only because I cheated on him, but also because I won’t have a child.”

“That child?”

“After the woman outside got pregnant, I also got the pregnancy diagnosis report. The third woman stopped me in the hospital and let me see her pregnancy report. I was very angry, so I beat the woman. I didn’t expect that she would fall to the ground and have a miscarriage!” Amber paused for a moment. “Then Rodney asked me to get out of my house.”

“So that’s how it is! Mr. Barron hates you for ruining his good business and allowing you to leave your house.” Elliot finally understood.

“That’s right! He must hate a vicious woman like me to the core. After all, it wasn’t easy for him to find a woman of equal status and have a child. That’s why he wished he could grind my bones and turn me into ashes. It’s kind of him to get out of his family!”

Amber laughed at himself.

“Who is that woman?” Elliot was very curious about the identity of the mistress.

“It’s his current fiancee!”

“What did you say?” Elliot’s eyes widened. “Your sister is a mistress?”

“No! She’s not my sister, she’s just the daughter of a mistress!” Amber emphasized. “Her mother stole my mother’s man, and now she’s here to steal my man. That’s why I was so angry at that time. If I could be more rational at that time, Rodney’s son would be the same age as my son.”

“Nonsense!” Elliot was very angry. “How could Mr. Black agree to let his second daughter marry such a person? Didn’t he care about your feelings at all? And what’s the purpose of Rodney’s disgusting business between his sister and sister? No, you should go back quickly. I’m going to beat him again!”

“Forget it!” Amber shook his head. “In fact, Rodney doesn’t know the relationship between me and Celia. He knows that I am Channing’s daughter later than you! As for Mr. Black, he and Rodney should have a bad relationship. After all, they are both cheating men.”

“Amber, what are you thinking? Don’t tell me that you didn’t love Rodney in the first place?” Elliot found it unbelievable. They should be in love with each other when they got married, but he couldn’t imagine that the person who was in love knew nothing about their relationship.

“I’ve never thought of having anything to do with Channing! I’ve always felt ashamed of having such a father, not glorious. Do you understand?”

“Since that’s the case, why are you returning now?” Elliot was puzzled.

Amber sighed. “If it weren’t for Mel, I wouldn’t have returned to the Black family.”

At this point, Amber didn’t want to hide his purpose of returning to the Black family. Elliot nodded. “Amber, it’s right for you to return to the Black family to get those properties. I’m telling you, people can be noble, but they can’t be pedantic. If you don’t want those properties, won’t you benefit the mother and daughter? You must get those properties! I support you to disturb them!”

“Elliot, don’t you think I’m bad?” Amber thought that Elliot would think that he was bad and didn’t expect him to support her.

“Amber, you can be more ruthless. If it were me, I would definitely find a way to make the bitch and her daughter look good.”
