Hypnotizing Love
Chapter 484 Substitute

The way Amber got off the car was quite abnormal. Jared knew clearly something was wrong on her.

That's why he was quite worried that something bad had happened to her.

Hearing Jared's words, Cole stopped moving his arms and said to Jared with a sneer on face, "Mr. Farrell, I heard my honey told me that you've given up wooing her and these days you kept isolating her. So, may I ask what are you doing right now?"

Jared's eyes looked quite dark and he said, "That's none of your business. I just need you to tell me what happened to her."

"Why should I answer that question? Since you've given up, then what happened to Amber is none of your business. You're in no position to ask about her." Cole crossed his arms before his chest and seemingly he would never answer the question."

Jared squinted and fixed his cold eyes on Cole, "So, Cole Lyon, you think I won't know it if you don't answer my question?"

Cole was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"I know Amber went to your home this evening, so..."

Jared took out his phone and gave a phone call.

Soon, a voice familiar to Cole rose on the other side, "Mr. Farrell."

It was Mrs. Lyon's voice!

"Mom?" Cole was stunned as he heard the voice. He stared at Jared astonishedly, "Why do you have my mother's number? How do you know her?"

Ben pushed his glasses up his nose and said smilingly, "Don't you know that you mother is a college classmate of Mrs. Farrell?"

"College classmate?" Cole said in a cracking voice, "How is that possible?"

"But that's the fact," Jared shrugged, "They were college classmates and they got along well with each other. The beauty salon your mother owned? She co-founded with Mrs. Farrell. But since Mrs. Farrell passed away, her share has been inherited by Mr. Farrell. So, Mr. Farrell is now a business partner of your mother's. He sure has your mother's number."

Hearing his explanation, Cole twitched his mouth, "Damn. I didn't know that."

In the car, Mrs. Lyon's reply made Jared's face changed a bit, "You told Amber she was not her parents' own daughter?"

Outside the car, Cole heard Jared's words and quickly walked over to the car. With hands on the car door, he stared at Jared, "You know her true identity?"

Jared ignored his words and said to Mrs. Lyon, "I know. Thank you, Mrs. Lyon."

Then he put down his phone.

Lyon repeated his question, "Jared Farrell, you've already known Amber is not her parent's real daughter, right?"

"It's none of your business," Jared turned to Ben, "Drive me home."

"Copy that," Ben replied and then pulled Cole away from Jared's car.

Jared then rolled the window up.

Cole hit the window glass angrily, "Don't you run away from me, Jared Farrell! Open the window! Tell me how you know that and when you began to know it! Tell me, Farrell, tell me!"

Jared could hear what Cole was shouting but he ignored him and closed his eyes. Seemingly, he was wondering something.

Ben drove the car away despite Cole, who was glaring at the car in wrath.

Facing the exhaust gas of Jared's car, Cole even wanted to have him killed.

Cole's face on the rearview mirror gave Ben a sense of satisfaction. But soon, he put on a poker face and spoke to the man sitting behind, "It has never occurred to me that Mrs. Lyon also knows Ms. Reed real identity and she would tell Ms. Reed about that, Mr. Farrell."

Jared nodded slightly, "It took me by surprise as well."

He used to think that the only Mr. and Mrs. Reed knew the secret.

Now they had passed away for quite a long time so the secret was already buried underground and no one would know it.

But now he knew Mrs. Lyon also knew the secret and she even told Amber that secret.

Why would she do that?

Seeing Jared's confused face, Ben wondered for a while before he said, "Mr. Farrell, maybe Mrs. Lyon also told Ms. Reed that she is actually the child of Mr. and Mrs. Gardner?"

"I don't think so," Jared shook his head, "She told me that Amber was adopted by Hugo Reed in an orphanage. So, I guess she had no idea Hugo in fact got the baby from Mr. and Mrs. Gardner. Maybe Amber's adoptive mother Lina Fanning didn't know it either."

"Then Hugo Reed was quite a good secret keeper. He even kept it a secret from his wife," Ben said in shock.

Jared bit his lips, "I'm wondering that why Hugo Reed would bring Amber up as his own daughter."

Hearing this, Ben also nodded, "I'm also confused. Trenton Gardner was then his biggest enemy. He stole the technologies from Goldstone and Goldstone almost went bankrupt at that time. A technologist in Goldstone killed himself due to this. Maybe Hugo had stolen Ms. Reed from Trenton Gardner as a form of revenge. But Hugo refrained from killing Ms. Reed in the end. He even brought her up. I don't understand."

Jared patted his own knees and didn't say a word.

Ben asked suddenly, "Mr. Farrell, Ms. Reed must feel really bad if she knows she was not her parents' own child. She must feel quite terrible right now. Maybe we should not leave so soon."

"I know Amber. She is definitely having a hard time now. But she doesn't need anyone to stay with her. She needs to be alone. And she also needs to accept the fact on her own. Help from others won't do her much good. She needs to face the truth. I believe that she'll get through this soon," Jared said in a low voice. Faith was written all over on his face.

Sensing Jared's faith in Amber, Ben shrugged and remained silent.

In Kelsington Bay.

When Amber got back home, and threw herself on the sofa. She stared at the ceiling blankly. The occasional blink of her eyes showed she was alive. What she knew form Mr. Lyon was really a shock for her.

She was not her parents' own daughter but only a substitute.

Her identity was fake. The love she received was fake. Even her name was fake.

She was nothing but a fake.

All the things she had were not hers. She stole them from the real Amber Reed.

Amber's eyes became quite red. Tears trickled down her cheeks and dropped onto the sofa.

Then she caught sight of the box she threw on the tea table. In it there was the thing mom left for her. She suddenly stood up and grabbed the box.

She wanted to know what was inside the box..

Why would mother leave the box to her?

Soon, she opened the box. Unexpectedly, what's inside was not photos or a paternity test result but a CD.000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
