Chapter 16
Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel
Chapter 16 Faking the Video Makenna could no longer maintain the smile on her face. She lowered her head and tears streamed down her face.
Jared frowned slightly and was displeased with his grandmotherâs behavior, âMakenna also has good intentions and is mindful of your health. She is the woman I like, so if you are angry with me in your heart, just take it out on me.â
Lady Georgia remained impassive and didnât reply.
Jared took Makennaâs hand and stood up, but to Lady Georgia he said, âItâs late, and you should rest. Weâll leave you to it.â
The two men stayed for less than ten minutes before leaving.
Mrs. Murphy went up to Lady Georgia and sighed, âMy Lady, why bother? You donât need to be angry with Mr. Farrell over someone else.â
Lady Georgia stroked the emerald bracelet on her wrist, âThis girl from the Gardner family has her way. Jared is going against me for her.â
Mrs. Murphy tucked her in, âHow could that be? Mr. Farrell has the utmost respect for you.â
Lady Georgia smiled but didnât say anything.
Unbeknownst to all but a few senior members of the board of Goldstone Co., Amber had become the biggest shareholder and, with the power to make decisions, she decisively reached a partnership with Hayden.
Hayden was a dark horse in the business, and although he wasnât as successful as Jared now, he wasnât far behind and had a bright future ahead of him.
With Jeremy and Cole at her side, things were looking up.
But what Cole predicted finally happened.
Images of the blue Audi hitting Makenna were all over the news, and the comments underneath were all cursing Amber for her viciousness.
Makenna became the victim, and Jared became the one being tricked by Amber.
The tide was turning fast, and as it continued, the police should be at the door.
Someone from the board of directors of the Goldstone Co. quickly called Amber to say that the influence was huge and that if she didnât deal with it soon, it could affect the companyâs benefits.
Cole snickered, âA bunch of cunning old foxes! How could Amber affect the companyâs benefits when it wasnât even announced that she is a shareholder? Theyâre all just threatening her and trying to step over her.â
Jeremy, who had been staring at the footage posted online, furrowed his brows, âA professional would know at a glance that the video was edited.
The problem is that the public opinion is so overwhelming that the peopleâs eyes are clouded.â
Thinking that Jared was shameless enough to put out the forged video, Cole taunted, âAmber, you do have a bad taste. How did you fall for such a nasty guy? I think he and Makenna were made for each other. Both of them are bitches.â
Amber stared expressionlessly at the video and slowly lowered her eyes.
Cole thought that his words had irritated her, and suddenly rubbed his nose sheepishly, âAhem ... I didnât mean to taunt you. Iâm just glad you woke up early, and thankfully, we were prepared and got the video footage from six years ago in advance.â
Amber looked up, met Jeremyâs worried face, and then smiled, âJared could even divorce me for Makenna. What else canât he do? Iâm not surprised.â

âWait.â Amber had other plans and raised an eyebrow towards Cole, âTomorrow is the 1st. I heard you say earlier that the Gardner family is throwing a party for Makenna to celebrate her recovery, is that right?â
âYeah, youâre going?â
She smiled, âNot only am I going, but Iâm bringing over a big present.â
Cole and Jeremy looked at each other for a few seconds, and smiled knowingly.
