Celia sensibly drove away. Along the way, she felt uneasy. She didnât seem to be angry at Rodney. He was no different from how he usually treated her. Did he believe her or not?
After answering the question, she told Shannon what had just happened. Shannon sneered and said, âWhether he believes it or not, you wonât admit it even if you are beaten to death. Your father will be back soon.â
âMom, Dad has always been partial to Amber. If he knew this, he would definitely blame me.â
âDonât worry. There will be a good show when he comes back!â
Channing had just returned from South City in the afternoon, and his face was not very good when he entered the door. Shannon and her daughter served him carefully. Shannonâs cultivation was so profound that she did not show any flaws. As for Celia, she had been nervous all the time. When she helped Channing to make tea, she burned her own hand.
Of course, Shannon knew what her daughter was worried about. She asked Celia to go back to her room to wipe the burns, while she sat in the living room with Channing and chatted with him.
âDid anything happen at home?â Channing took a sip of water and asked slowly.
âSomething happened to Amberâ¦â Shannon hesitated.
âWhat happened to Amber?â Channing had just put down his teacup and looked at Shannon.
Shannon naturally told him more about Amber and Rodney. Before she could finish her words, Celiaâs cry came from upstairs. Then the door was opened, and Celia stumbled out. âI donât want to live anymore!â
âWhat happened?â Shannon suddenly stood up.
âAmber⦠What Amber did to me⦠has spread! Youâll find out when you see it yourself!â Celia stomped her foot. âItâs all your fault! Iâm done for. My reputation has been ruined. Whatâs there left to live on?
Why donât you just die!â
âShut up! Why do you have to say that youâre not dead?â Shannon scolded her daughter, but she kept running upstairs.
At this time, Aunt Maleah came in with a report from South City. She looked nervous and anxious.
âSecretary, bad news!â
She hurriedly handed the newspaper in her hand to Channing. As soon as Channing took it and read it, he saw an eye-catching headline. âThe secretaryâs daughter is willing to be a mistress and interfere in other peopleâs marriage!â
The person who wrote the report named Celia, Amber, and Rodney, and the person who wrote the report got some secret information from nowhere, and dug out all the information about Celia seducing Rodney that year.
The daughter of the secretary was actually a mistress. One could imagine how terrible the situation was now. Channingâs hands were trembling. Before he could finish reading, he suddenly fell back and fainted.
Shannon screamed for a while, and Celia did not care about crying. She came down from upstairs to help Shannon to pinch Channing. After a while, Channing just woke up.
However, she kept coughing. She was out of breath and almost out of breath. Shannon was busy helping him breathe on his back. Channing had just coughed for a while when he suddenly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and covered his mouth. Celia screamed, âDad, you spat blood!â
As soon as he finished speaking, Channing fainted again.
âAsk the driver to send her to the hospital!â Aunt Maleah ran out to call the driver. The Black family was in a mess.
At the same time, Deon rushed to find Rodney. âMr. Barron, bad news!â
âWhat happened?â Rodney was surprised. Deon had always been calm. He would never lose his composure like this. Something bad must have happened to make him so flustered. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
âMs. Black⦠the story between Miss. Stone and you has been spread.â Deon felt awkward as he spoke, and then he explained, âThe incident of Ms. Blackâs replaced pregnancy was suddenly made public, not only on the Internet, but also in the newspaper. Ms. Black was said to be very terrible by them!â
When he heard that, he turned on the computer and found that the sensation of the online attack had suddenly changed. He was scolding Amber for interfering, but now he was scolding him, Celia, and Rachel.
The report was not bad, and it was very emotional. It wrote down a few thousand words about how Amber was bullied and betrayed.
With the reports of this article, Amber became the victim, and Celia became the true mistress. He was naturally a scumbag, and his mother was naturally an evil mother-in-law.
He was relatively calm about the scolding of his mother and himself. However, when he saw the attack on Celia, he was a little worried. This report was going to completely ruin Celiaâs reputation. This matter was getting more and more troublesome.
âWhat should we do now?â Deon asked.
âLet me think about it!â Rodney rubbed his forehead. He just wanted to calm things down, but he didnât expect that things would get worse and worse. This matter couldnât be delayed. He had to solve it immediately.
Noemi held the newspaper and laughed as she entered the ward. She stuffed the newspaper into Amberâs hand and said, âAmber, youâre so happy! Youâre so happy!â
Amber took over the newspaper, and the main title came into view. âThe secretaryâs daughter is willing to be a mistress and interfere in other peopleâs marriage!â
âElliot is really powerful. In just two days, everything has changed. The b*tch and her daughter have no place to hide, hahaha!â Noemi laughed happily.
Amber smiled bitterly. âItâs not a good thing!â She didnât say a word when she endured the humiliation and bore the burden. She just didnât want to uncover these disgusting things.
Channing was her father. The impact of this incident was obvious. As the secretary, he had a daughter.
Channing didnât know how angry he would be.
While she was deep in thought, the phone rang. She answered Celiaâs voice. âAmber, are you feeling better? Are you feeling better now that youâre in such a mess?â
âMs. Black, youâre mistaken. This has nothing to do with me!â she replied coldly.
âHow dare you deny it? Who else would do such a thing except you?â Celia roared over the phone, and soon the phone was snatched away. Shannonâs voice came. âAmber, your father vomited blood and fainted. Come to the hospital and have a look!â
Amber was stunned when he heard that. He immediately got out of bed and ran out in a hurry. He bumped into Elliot. He reached out to hold her. âWhere are you going?â
âElliot, youâve made me suffer!â Amber smiled bitterly. Elliotâs original intention was to help her. She should have thanked him, but what about Channing? âMy father vomited blood!â
âHe spat out blood?â Elliot was stunned. âHe spat out blood because of such a small matter? Heâs really not good at being a secretary.â
Amber was so angry that he shouted at him, âElliot, why donât you ask me? Although I hate him, heâs my father after all. Youâre slapping my father in the face by doing this. The secretary has raised such a daughter. On the surface, youâre helping me, but in fact, youâre helping my fatherâs opponent.â
âIs it necessary to do such a thing?â Elliot still couldnât figure it out.
Amber stamped his feet, pushed Elliot away, and ran out.
âHow can you not vomit blood?â Noemi gave the newspaper to Elliot. âThe familyâs shame should not be exposed. How can Mr. Black stand it?â
Elliot took a look at the newspaper and looked aggrieved. âI didnât do it.â
âDonât deny it. Who else could be so generous except you?â
âI really didnât do it. Iâve thought about it, but I havenât carried it out yet. Itâs related to Channing. I have to ask Amber whether he wants this father or not.â
âItâs really not you?â
âItâs not true!â
âThen who is he?â Noemi was also confused.
Amber rushed to the hospital where Channing was. Channing had been rescued and was pushed out of the emergency room by a nurse. Seeing her, Celia glared at Amber and snorted.
Shannon looked very calm. The mother and daughter stood in front of Amber and pushed Channing into the ward. Channingâs face was very ugly.
âDad, itâs good that youâve woken up.â Celia looked at Channing and said in a choked voice, âDad, you donât know that you fainted all of a sudden, which scared me and Mom to death. Weâ¦â
âShut up!â Channing shouted at Celia. He looked at Amber and said, âAmber, come here!â
Amber hesitated for a moment and looked at Shannon and her daughter. Then he carefully walked to the bedside of the bed and said indifferently and alienatedly, âAre you all right?â
âIs it okay?â Celia snorted. âItâs all because of you. If you hadnât seduced Rodney, such a thing wouldnât have happened.â
Amber turned to look at Celia. âIf I remember correctly, you must have found those reporters, right?â
âSo what? You shamelessly pestered someone elseâs fiance. I have no choice! Iâm here to uphold my rights.â At this time, Celia was not afraid of falling out with him.
âCelia, apologize!â Channing finally understood something when he heard the dispute between Amber and Celia. âApologize to your sister immediately!â
âDad, I⦠what did I do wrong?â Celia was not convinced. âIt was obviously my sister who seduced Rodney. I was just angry! Besides, look at what my sister did to make people attack me like that. If it werenât for my sister, could I have gotten pregnant before marriage? I didnât do anything wrong to her. It was she who did something wrong to me!â
âShut up!â Channing glared at Celia. âDo you think Iâm old and confused? Youâre not clean about what happened back then. To put it nicely, you did it for Amber. In fact, you should know very well what youâve done!â
He looked at what was written in the newspaper and suddenly found that he had been fooled. Celia didnât just do it for Amber. She did want to occupy his nest.
âDad!â Celia was not reconciled. Shannon, who was watching from the side, clearly reached out to push her daughter. âWhy donât you apologize to your sister? What have you done?â
Celia said sorry to Amber unwillingly. She covered her face and ran out. Channing looked at Shannon coldly and said, âYou should go out too!â
âIâm worried about your health!â
âMy daughter is with me. Whatâs there to worry about? Will she hurt me?â Channing looked at Shannon with disgust in his eyes.
Shannon had no choice but to tell Channing when she was about to leave. âIâm outside. Call me if you need anything.â
