Chasing My Rejected Wife
Chapter 92

“Amber, Amber is back!” Aunt Maleah, who was standing in a remote corner and watching the engagement ceremony coldly, noticed Amber. She shouted and ran toward Amber.

“Amber, where have you been these years? Why didn’t you come back to see Aunt Maleah?” Aunt Maleah choked with sobs.

Amber ran over excitedly when he saw Aunt Maleah. She stretched out her arms and hugged Aunt Maleah. Aunt Maleah had been a nanny in the Black family since she was a child. She had always been very kind to her.

Shannon and Rachel also came over. The first impression they had when they saw Amber and Rachel was that she was here to make trouble. She stood in front of Amber aggressively. “What are you doing here?”

Amber let go of Aunt Maleah and looked at Rachel with narrowed eyes. “Madam, who are you in this family?”

“I…” Rachel blushed, and the contempt on Amber’s face stimulated her nerves. “Is this my daughter-in-law’s home?”

“Really? It’s not your home. What right do you have to ask me?” Amber asked rudely. He turned to look at Shannon and said with a fake smile, “Is that right, Mrs. Black?”

Shannon smiled awkwardly. She knew that things wouldn’t go so smoothly. This enemy didn’t come back early or later. She was sure that he didn’t have good intentions. Fortunately, the ceremony was over. “Amber, let’s talk inside!”

“What kind of house is that? Just get someone to throw her out!” Rachel was used to being domineering. Amber had no money, no power, no power. She was not afraid of offending him, so she didn’t care about the occasion at all.

Amber sneered. “When did it become an outsider’s turn to make decisions in this family? Is it going to change again? Mrs. Black, you have to keep an eye on Mr. Black. Mr. Black is extremely charming. Be careful not to be targeted!”

Even a fool could hear what she said. Rachel didn’t expect that Amber would say that she had a crush on Channing. She was so ill-bred. She gasped and was about to fight back, but Amber looked at Shannon and asked, “Mrs. Black, have you packed up my room?”

Shannon tried her best to keep a smile on her face. “Your room has always been kept.”

“Could it be the smallest, darkest, and damp room?”

“No, it’s the biggest room in the morning sun.”

“That’s good.” Amber turned back with satisfaction and told Aunt Maleah, “Aunt Maleah, please help me send the luggage in Mr. Black’s hand upstairs. Thank you very much!”

Only then did Rachel realize that Channing had just stood aside with his luggage and looked at them. “What’s going on?”

Channing’s eyes were cold and his face was gloomy. He did not miss Amber’s behavior at all. In front of so many people, Rachel treated Amber like this. It could be imagined how arrogant she would be when there was no one.

His daughter had suffered a lot in the past! Ignoring Rachel’s question, he did not give the luggage to Aunt Maleah. Instead, he entered the room with the luggage.

Rodney and Celia also came over. Rodney looked at Amber with a complicated expression. “What did she come here for today?” He thought of what she stammered that night: “If you cancel the engagement with Celia, I will consider getting back together with you.”

He didn’t believe what she said. He thought that she wanted revenge, so he hung up the phone decisively. Later, Amber called again and he chose to refuse to answer it. Finally, he turned off the phone directly.

The moment he saw Amber, his first impression of her was that she was here to make trouble. However, when he saw her smiling and clapping her hands, he knew that everything was not what he thought. Amber looked at Rodney and Celia with a mocking smile and said, “Congratulations, Ms. Black, for your success! I wish you good luck!”

Celia opened her mouth, but she didn’t say anything. Rodney sneered and said, “Thank you, Miss. Stone.”

“No thanks! That’s what I should do!” Amber said with a smile. “Go on. I’ll visit my room and have a good sleep!”

Looking at the remaining four people who entered the room as if there was no one else, they felt uncomfortable. Shannon and Celia still had a smile on their faces, but their hearts were in a mess. They did not believe that Amber would do nothing like this.

Rachel was the most ignorant of these people. When she saw Amber’s arrogance, she was so angry that she fainted. She ignored the elegant face and asked directly, “Mrs. Black, what’s going on?”

“Let’s talk about this later. Now let’s ask the guests to go to the hotel first!” Shannon forced a smile. Although there were not many people in the yard to attend the engagement party, they couldn’t talk about it in front of these people.

The most important thing was that this matter was very disgraceful for her. After Ashley died, Channing had just taken office in City A, so she naturally went with him. No one knew that Channing had once married a wife. All these years, she had always regarded herself as a legal wife. If others knew that she was actually a mistress and became a full-time employee, wouldn’t she be ashamed?

This engagement party was really unpleasant. Although Channing also attended later, his expression was not as happy as in the morning, and his attitude toward Rachel also became a little cold.

After the banquet was over and the guests who attended the engagement party were sent away, Rachel mentioned Amber again. Channing replied lightly, “Amber is my daughter, born of her ex-wife.”

Rachel’s face suddenly turned pale. If it weren’t for Rodney supporting her, she would have been shocked. “How is that possible?”

“Isn’t Amber a girl from a poor family? How did he become Channing’s daughter?”

It was impossible that Channing did not know that Amber and Rodney had gotten married in City A. Shannon and Celia knew very well that she had forced Amber to get out of his house. Since that was the case, why would Channing agree to an engagement between his second daughter and his son?

“Why is it impossible?” Channing looked at Rachel with a hint of impatience in his eyes. “I’ll go back first. Amber hasn’t had dinner yet.”

As soon as Channing finished speaking, he strode out. Shannon asked Rachel to sit down. Rachel finally calmed down. She looked at Shannon and asked, “What the hell is going on?”

Shannon sighed. “It’s a long story. Amber was born by Mr. Black and his ex-wife, Ashley. There were some misunderstandings at that time. Ashley ran away from home with Amber. Later, an accident happened and Ashley passed away. Ashley’s younger brother, Ashton, died because of Mr. Black. He hated Mr. Black so much that he took Amber away and changed his name. We have been looking for her all these years, and we only found out recently.”

Shannon was good at telling lies. Ashley’s death was caused by her mistress, but she explained it as a simple car accident in a few words. Amber left with her illegitimate daughter in a fit of anger, but she mistook it as being coaxed and taken away by Ashton. It was not until now that she found it.

Of course, Shannon dared to say that because she knew that Channing would not let his family disgrace themselves. Ashley was dead and Channing was still alive. For the sake of her reputation, he would never admit that he cheated on her before marriage.

Hearing this, Rodney felt very uncomfortable. He got up and went out to smoke. Seeing him leave, Shannon winked at Celia, who immediately followed him.

Rodney stood outside and lit a cigarette irritably. When he saw his mother and Shannon behaving like this, he panicked. One was snobbish while the other was lying. They were indeed a match for each other. When he thought of Amber’s mocking gaze, he became even more flustered.

Celia walked to his side and said, “Ms. Grant, I didn’t know that I was pregnant because of my sister. My mother didn’t want others to know all this, so she lied to Ms. Grant. Don’t blame my mother…”

Celia defended Shannon. “My mother… was disgraceful at that time, but I had no choice. After all, she gave birth to me and raised me. I couldn’t hate her no matter what.”

These words came to Rodney’s mind. He also had a problem with Rachel, but Rachel was his mother. He couldn’t go against his mother’s wishes.

“Rodney, if you replace it difficult, you can remove everything from us now. I won’t blame you.”

Rodney looked back at her pitiful appearance and forced a smile. “What are you thinking about?”

Rachel was not a fool. She didn’t believe Shannon’s words. What misunderstanding? Celia and Amber ran away from home in the same year. The so-called misunderstanding should be Shannon’s mistress at that time.

In addition, she didn’t believe that Channing and Shannon didn’t know about Amber and Rodney. Since she knew that she had abused Amber and was willing to send her second daughter here, she knew very well that she had taken a fancy to the wealth of the Barron family.

At first, she was very shocked. She was worried that Celia and Rodney’s marriage would go to waste. But now, she didn’t look at it like that. She just felt a little uncomfortable. Why did she choose a mistress for her son?

However, when she thought of how Amber had refused to give in to her, she thought that Celia was the best. Celia was gentle, kind, and reasonable. She would never go against her as Amber did.

She was also a person who had worked hard in the business world, so she forced a smile and said, “So that’s how it is. What about Rodney and Celia?”

“The matter between Celia and Rodney is actually very difficult for me and Mr. Black. Mr. Black once talked to Amber about it. He was worried that Amber would object to it, but he didn’t expect Amber to be very reasonable. She doesn’t object to the matter between Rodney and Celia. Since Amber doesn’t object, and Rodney and Celia are in love with each other, Mr. Black and I can’t be a couple.”

Shannon was too talkative. After talking around for so long, she made an excuse that Amber did not object to express his position. Rachel laughed and said, “I also think so. Since Rodney and Celia like each other, we should at least fulfill their wishes as parents.”

Shannon nodded. “Don’t feel guilty about Amber, Rodney, and Celia. Let her go!”

“Yes! Let her go through the past. Let’s look ahead!” Rachel naturally echoed.

“By the way, since I have made it clear today, I have nothing to hide. There is one more thing I have to tell you.”

Shannon was the best at observing other people’s expressions. Since Amber had come back with a legitimate reason, she would naturally have to face Rodney in the future. In order to prevent them from coming back to life, she had to be on guard.

“What is it?”

“It wasn’t that Mr. Black didn’t help with the development of the company last time, but that Amber asked for Mr. Black’s help. Mr. Black felt guilty about her, so he agreed to her request.”

“I see.” Rachel looked enlightened and her hatred for Amber increased. If it weren’t for her, the Barron Enterprises wouldn’t have lost a large sum of money.

“But don’t worry. Mr. Black has already made it up to her. Such a thing will never happen again.” Shannon passed a message to Rachel.

Rachel nodded. She naturally understood what Shannon meant. Since things had come to this point, there was no need to replace out who was right and who was wrong. She stood up and said, “It’s too late. I’ll ask Rodney to send you back!”
