Chasing My Rejected Wife
Chapter 97

The two words “Ding” made Ashton’s expression change a little, but Amber did not notice that Elliot said that Issac had been living in seclusion in South City. He did not know if his uncle would hear of such a person. “By the way, uncle, have you heard of this person, Issac, in South City for so many years?”

“No!” Ashton replied.

“I’m so mad that I’m confused. Since Issac is living in seclusion in South City, how could he reveal his real name?” Amber said with a self-deprecating smile.

“Amber, what are you looking for this Issac for?” Ashton asked.

Amber told her about the design of the venue. “If we can replace Issac’s design works, then the chances of the Parableutions winning will be very high. On the other hand, we’ll be on par with the Barron Enterprises.”

Ashton looked as if he was deep in thought. “Amber, good fortune naturally has its own destiny. Who knows, we might even be able to replace that Issac.”

“You are comforting me. Even if I replace that Issac, it’s hard to say whether he is willing to help me or not. Besides, it’s still unknown whether I can replace him or not.”

“The heavens will definitely help Amber.”

Amber checked the time. It was already noon. “Uncle, let’s go out for a meal today. We’ll eat the dishes you like.”

Ashton nodded and went out with Amber.

When they returned to the Black family in the evening, Channing had just returned home. Shannon took his slippers diligently. Celia took the briefcase from Channing’s hand. Amber, who was following them, saw all this with a mocking smile on his face.

Shannon was really gentle and considerate to Channing. It was no wonder that Channing believed everything she said.

Shannon saw the sarcasm on the corners of her mouth and said in a low voice, “I made the dishes that Amber likes to eat tonight.”

“What do I like to eat? Did I hear it wrong? Does Mrs. Black know what I like to eat?”

“I told her last night,” Channing said.

“Mr. Black, I’m flattered by what I like to eat!” Amber’s smile deepened. He walked to the restaurant with a serious expression and looked at the dishes on the table. “Mr. Black, are you sure that these dishes are what I like to eat?”

“You liked to eat these when you were a child.” Channing had just come over.

Amber sneered. “When a baby is a child, he likes to eat milk. The secretary won’t judge that when he grows up, he must also drink milk, will he?”

Channing was embarrassed, but Amber didn’t give him any face. “Mr. Black, you’d better enjoy the big meal prepared by Mrs. Black for you. Call me when you’re done. I have something to tell you.”

Channing was stunned. “You don’t want to eat?”

“I don’t think this chicken feet are zombie feet, do I? I heard from TV that there are a lot of frozen zombie meat that has been frozen for hundreds of years now. If I eat them, I will definitely become a zombie. I’d better eat instant noodles!” Amber sneered. She didn’t believe that they could eat happily after listening to her words.

How could Amber say that these chicken and duck meat were zombie meat? How could they continue to eat? Celia couldn’t help but say, “This was carefully prepared for you by your mother. Don’t say it’s so disgusting if you don’t appreciate it.”

“Disgusting? I am kindly reminding you, don’t regret it when you eat zombie meat and become a zombie.”

Celia’s face was livid. No matter how stupid she was, she knew that Amber was deliberately disgusting her and Shannon. So she stopped pretending and shouted at the top of her voice, “Amber, you want to build a company and Dad will give you the company’s business. Now you want the sports meeting and Dad has agreed with your request. What else do you want?”

“What do I want?” Amber looked at Celia with a smile. “Can I let you get out?”

“You…”

“I’ll say it again. The development of the company was achieved by himself. As for the sports meeting, didn’t Mr. Black say that it would be fair competition? Don’t worry, Ms. Black. You are Mr. Black’s sweetheart. Rodney is Mr. Black’s son-in-law, so he won’t treat you badly!”

“Don’t be so sarcastic. Dad promised me about the sports meeting, but now it’s fair competition for you. Dad is obviously partial to you. Why don’t you know your limits?”

“You’re partial to me? Is that really the case, Mr. Black?” Amber looked at Channing. “As the saying goes, paper cannot cover fire. No matter how good the lie is, there will be a day when it will be exposed. What’s going on in this sports meeting? Is Mr. Black aware of it?”

Channing’s face turned red and white. He wanted to replace time to talk about this matter with Amber, but he didn’t expect that Amber would know it so soon. “Amber!”

“Your illegitimate daughter thinks that you’re the one who cares about me, which is why you’ve treated her so badly. Mr. Black, why don’t you make it clear? Let them see if you truly love me, or if you really love your mistress and illegitimate daughter?”

“Amber, I didn’t mean to hide it. It was a document from the provincial office. I only found out about it today.”

“Did you hear that? It’s not that Mr. Black is partial, but that he has issued a document in the province. That’s why he can’t help you. In his heart, you’re always number one. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have betrayed his mistress and raised his illegitimate daughter despite knowing that he would lose his black silk hat.” Amber turned around after mocking him.

When she went upstairs, she saw several people in the restaurant staring at each other. She felt happy in her heart. After being disturbed by her, she could not have dinner with them. So she went upstairs with satisfaction and said, “Mr. Black, take your time. Call me when you’re done.”

Channing had a terrible dinner with Shannon and her daughter. The dishes on the table didn’t move at all. Channing got up and left the restaurant after drinking a few mouthfuls of soup.

Watching him go upstairs to replace Amber, Shannon and Celia looked at each other. Celia put down her chopsticks and said, “Mom, I can’t eat it. It’s disgusting!”

“Then we won’t eat. Let’s go out for supper tonight.” Shannon was also disgusted.

“Mom, with Amber, the annoying ghost, will you be so disgusting every day?” Celia looked upstairs angrily.

“No, she’ll be fine in a few days.” Shannon lowered her voice. “She’s making a fuss to prove that she’s upset. She must be suffering outside. Do you understand?”

Celia nodded and said, “Mom, didn’t people say that she had something to do with Elliot? But when I saw Elliot participate in the event that day, there was a star standing beside him. Elliot is a playboy. Mom, do you think it’s because Elliot dumped her that she was in a bad mood?”

“Keep your voice down!” Shannon stopped her daughter and looked at Aunt Maleah, who was in the kitchen. “Be careful of your ears. We’ll talk about this in the future.”

Channing had just knocked on the door of Amber’s room a few times. Amber opened the door. “Mr. Black, are you full?”

“Amber!” Channing had just entered her room. “I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just found out about it. I’m going to take the time to tell you…”

“Stop!” Amber stopped Channing. “Mr. Black, let’s get down to business. I have returned to the Black family according to your request. When will you give me those properties?”

Channing was stunned. He didn’t expect Amber to ask for property so directly. “In a few days.”

“How many days will it take?” Amber asked.

“Amber, do you really need money now?” Channing asked tentatively.

“That’s right!”

“Then I’ll give you the money I’ve saved for the past few years, okay?” Channing asked.

“What about those properties? Are you not going to give them to me?” Amber asked.

“Of course it’s yours, but you have to wait until Celia gets married,” Channing explained.

“Does this mean that if Celia doesn’t get married for the rest of her life, I won’t be able to get those properties for the rest of my life?” Amber asked sarcastically. “Mr. Black, can you tell me clearly? Are you afraid that I will rob your precious daughter of a man again, so you left such a trick for me?”

“Amber, you misunderstood me!” Channing was a little embarrassed. At that time, he had made it very clear to Shannon and her daughter that all the property of Celia’s marriage to Rodney belonged to Amber. Now that Celia was not married yet, these things naturally could not be moved. After all, it was not a small number. If Shannon and her daughter knew that he still had these things, with Shannon’s greed, there would definitely be unnecessary trouble.

Of course, what Channing was most worried about now was not Shannon’s greed, but that those things could not be seen at the moment.

“Well, Mr. Black, it doesn’t matter if you don’t give it to me. You don’t have to explain!” Amber was impatient. It seemed that Channing wanted to take his so-called property. She didn’t expect him to give it to her immediately.

However, based on yesterday’s performance and Channing’s performance today, her so-called father was indeed not someone worthy of sympathy. Thinking back to the day when she actually had feelings for him because of his white hair, Amber felt that he was really stupid.

No man who cheated on their marriage was a good person. So was Channing and Rodney. She must keep it in mind and never have any illusions about them.

Rachel did not know about the fair competition in the sports meeting. In the past two days, she had been thinking about Amber over and over again. It was her request to let Amber get out of his house. At that time, she hated him to the extreme. Originally, she would have waited a few months to see her lively grandson come into being. However, she was pushed away by Amber and her grandson was gone.

Therefore, her anger erupted like a volcano. She threatened her son to divorce with her life, and forced Amber to get out of her house. At that time, Amber would definitely bargain with her, and at that time, she would be pulled down by a little bit of money.

However, she didn’t expect Amber to be so stubborn. If she knew that Amber had the backing of Channing, she wouldn’t have treated her like this. As the saying went, it was better not to make enemies. She had to ask Amber to make things clear. As long as Amber didn’t mess it up, she could pay a sum of money at most.

Thinking that she asked Celia for her phone number and called Amber, Amber was shocked when he received a call from Rachel. She thought that she had seen a ghost. She could be said to be extremely disgusted with this mother-in-law. She only listened to her and hung up the phone directly.

Rachel didn’t give up. She found Amber’s company. Facing Rachel’s pestering, Amber had to follow her to a nearby cafe.

Rachel smiled awkwardly. “Amber, I called you here today because I have something to tell you…”

Amber interrupted her. “Mrs. Barron, we’re just strangers. I don’t think there’s anything to talk about with you.”

Rachel didn’t care. “I forced Rodney to do that. Rodney didn’t want to do that. If you want to blame someone, blame me, you old woman!”

“Mrs. Barron, if you just want to talk to me about these boring things, I don’t have time to accompany you!” Amber stood up. “I would like to remind you that I don’t want to see anyone in your family. I hope you know your limits.”

“Amber, I know that I wronged you. I can make it up to you!” Seeing her get up, Rachel became anxious.

“Make it up to you?” Amber looked at her mockingly.

“I can give you a sum of money. This is a check.” Rachel took out a check. “If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it again.”

“You’re indeed a rich man. You’re really generous.” Amber clicked his tongue. “But Mrs. Barron, are you sure you want to give me the money? Are you sure you want to give it to me unconditionally?”

“I hope you won’t make things difficult for Rodney anymore.”

“Make things difficult for Rodney? Who is Rodney? Is he a cat or a dog?” Amber asked.

Rachel blushed. “Amber, what do you want?”

“I don’t want anything.” Amber spread out his hands. “Mrs. Barron, if there’s nothing wrong with your ears, I think I’ve made it very clear.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.
