Chapter 101 Emotional Blackmail âChloe has always wanted to be acquitted, so she insists on appealing for the second trial, but the result will not change. So she will still have to be detained. Her mother definitely came here to ask you to drop the case.â Cole whispered in Amberâs ears.
Although his voice was low, Mrs. Mendez still heard it. She was a little embarrassed, âMiss Reed... Mr. Lyon is right. Iâm here for this.â
âSee, I got it right.â Cole spread his hands.
Amber rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Mrs. Mendez with a cold and distant smile, âIâm sorry, Mrs. Mendez. I wonât drop the lawsuit.â
Mrs. Mendez didnât expect that Amber would refuse her so directly. Her face stiffened and she felt a little upset.
But soon, Mrs. Mendez held back her unhappy face and pleaded, âMiss Reed, I know that Chloe has gone too far this time, but she already knows that she is wrong, so can you...â
âNo!â Amber interrupted her expressionlessly, âMrs. Mendez, you said she knew she was wrong, but why hasnât she apologized to me yet? As her mom, since you know she was wrong, why didnât you do anything to make it up?â
âExactly.â Cole put his hands behind his head and said leisurely, âThe final trial is coming. Chloe is going to be convicted. Now, you came to find Amber. But we still donât see your sincerity. You wanna ask Amber for forgiveness? Hypocrite! Are you not afraid of being laughed at by others?â
Mrs. Mendez clutched her bag tightly with both hands. Hearing this, she was embarrassed.
She originally thought that she would easily persuade Amber.
But she didnât expect these two young people to be so merciless.
âWell, letâs go.â Amber didnât want to entangle with Mrs. Mendez, so she said to Cole.
Just when the two were about to turn around, Mrs. Mendez suddenly grabbed Amberâs hand, âMiss Reed, please, please forgive my daughter.â
Amber frowned and wanted to pull her hand back.
But Mrs. Mendez grabbed her tightly and didnât let her go, âMiss Reed, for the sake of my begging, please! As long as you agree to let her go, I will take her to apologize to you in person. Miss Reed, please!â
âMrs. Mendez, Iâve made it very clear just now that I wonât drop the lawsuit. Itâs useless for you to beg me. Could you please let me go?â Amber said impatiently.
As if Mrs. Mendez didnât understand what Amber said, she just looked at her with a sad face, âMiss Reed, are you really so unfeeling?â
âAmber is unfeeling? Chloe asked for it!â Cole snorted at her words.
But Mrs. Mendez ignored him and focused on Amber, âMiss Reed, I can kneel down to you as long as you let Chloe go!*
Saying that, she let go of Amberâs hand and dropped to her knees.
Both Amber and Cole were startled by her actions. After reacting, they quickly helped her up.
âMrs. Mendez, donât do this!â Amber rubbed her temples, feeling headache.
Cole also pouted, âMrs. Mendez, this is emotional blackmail!â
If Amber didnât agree with her, she would kneel down to beg. How preposterous. This was not only emotional blackmail, but also threat and compulsion.
Sure enough, she was Chloeâs mother. Like mother, like daughter! It was not surprising that Chloe would become like this.
Mrs. Mendez still ignored Cole. Seeing that Amber seemed to waver a little, she took advantage of it and asked, âMiss Reed, please!â
Amber said, âIâm sorry, Mrs. Mendez. I...â
Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Mendez broke free from Coleâs support and was about to get down on her knees again.
But this time, before Mrs. Mendez knelt down, she was helped up again.
It was not Cole or Amber, but Makenna.
Makenna pointed at Amber, and said indignantly, âMiss Reed, you are going too far. How can you let an elder kneel to you!â
Amberâs lips twitched.
Cole rolled his eyes, âHey, hey, are you blind? When did she ask Mrs. Mendez to kneel? Itâs Mrs. Mendez who knelt to her initiatively, okay?â
âImpossible.â Makenna looked incredulous.
Mrs. Mendez patted the back of her hand, âMakenna, he is right. I knelt down myself.â
âAuntie, why!?â Makenna looked at Mrs. Mendez in disbelief.
Mrs. Mendezâs face was full of sorrow, âFor Chloe! As long as Miss Reed is willing to drop the lawsuit, Chloe can be free, so...â
âSo you kneel down to her?â
âYes.â Mrs. Mendez nodded, glanced at Amber, and wiped away her tears, âBut Miss Reed refused me.â
âI see.â Makenna pursed her lips, then looked at Amber disapprovingly, âMiss Reed, sheâs already down on her knees to beg you, but you still rejected her. You are too cruel!â
âIâm cruel?â Amber raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears, looking so poised, âWhen I refuse to spare Chloe Mendez, you said I was cruel.
But when Chloe created heinous and incendiary lies about me, why didnât you accuse her of being vicious?â
âI...â Makenna was choked, feeling a little embarrassed.
Cole sneered, âSo Makenna, when you accuse Amber, think about whether you are in the rightor not.â
A trace of humiliation flashed in Makennaâs eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She bit her lip, âEven if Chloe did something wrong at the beginning, she has been punished. There are so many people who criticize Chloe on the Internet. Is it not enough? Besides, her mother knelt down to you. Canât you forgive her?â
âNo!â Amber said coldly, âWhy should I forgive her?â
âYeah! She hurt Amber, but you guys didnât ask her to apologize. Instead, you asked Amber to forgive her. Amber is already very kind that she didnât take revenge on her.â Cole put his hand around Amberâs shoulders and said sarcastically.
âBy the way, I almost forgot it.â Amber stared at Makenna without any emotions in her eyes, âMiss Gardner, Chloe came to this point because of you, so the one who should save her is you.â
After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Mendez, âMrs. Mendez, you might ask Miss Gardner for help instead of me.
After all, she is so kind and definitely willing to help you.â
âBye.â Cole waved to the two of them and took Amber into the courthouse.
Makenna didnât dare to look at Mrs. Mendez, âAuntie, I know Chloe did it for me, but...â
âEnough.â Mrs. Mendez wiped her tears and interrupted Makenna, âI know Chloe has asked you for help, but your hands are tied.â
Hearing this, Makenna was surprised. But then she heard Mrs. Mendez say again, âBut I hope you can stay away from Chloe in the future. Itâs not suitable for Chloe to be your friend.â
âAuntie, what do you mean?â Makennaâs face turned pale and her voice trembled, âAre you blaming me?â
Mrs. Mendez took a breath, âYes, Iâm blaming you. If you didnât stop me just now, maybe Amber would agree to let Chloe go when she saw I kneel down twice more. Now, because of you, everything is in vain. So it is your responsibility that Chloe canât be released.â
After speaking, she ignored Makenna and left directly.
Makennaâs pretty face was suddenly distorted.

How dare such a woman from a smallâtime family hate her?
