Hypnotizing Love
Chapter 490 Amber's Half-Sister from a Different Mother

Gripping her phone with one hand, Amber pressed her chest tightly. After a while, she uttered some words from her dry throat, "I see. I won't attend the party tomorrow. Please tell Mr. Farrell to relieve. After all, I've promised not to appear in his face anymore. I'll keep my words. Besides, please send my congratulations to Mr. Farrell and Ms. Boyd."

Then she hung up the phone directly.

Ben frowned in confusion, wondering what Amber meant.

Why did she congratulate Mr. Farrell and Ms. Boyd? What's to congratulate about?

At Goldstone Co.

Sheila noticed Amber paled after answering the call, so she asked, "Ms. Reed, are you alright?"

"I'm OK." Amber bit her bottom lip so tightly that her lips went colorless as well.

She felt so ironic.

She could accept that Jared had suddenly changed his mind to ask her to be his date.

After all, he asked her not to show up in his face again. Hence, it was expected that he didn't want her to be his plus-one at the party. Amber actually had figured it out early. Ben's phone call confirmed it.

She was prepared since she had guessed that Jared wouldn't let her be his date. However, when Ben confirmed it, she felt upset.

That wasn't important, though. What she was upset about was that Jared did not inform her until after he had found a new date.

Amber felt that she had been fooled.

It was like they were in love, but Jared wanted to break up with her. However, before they broke up, he had already found a new girlfriend, and then he dumped her. She felt frustrated.

He could have told her not to go to the party before replaceing a new date.

However, he hadn't done so.

Besides, he asked the daughter from the Boyd family to be his date.

The longer she thought about it, the more upset she became. Amber leaned against the back of her chair, pinching her nose bridge, feeling exhausted. "Sheila, you can go back to work. I want to be alone for a moment."

"All right, Ms. Reed." Sheila glanced at her worriedly and turned away.

After leaving Amber's office, she pulled out her phone and dialed Cole's number.

In fact, she didn't want to bother Cole because of Amber.

After all, Amber was her rival in love, although Amber didn't love Cole.

However, Sheila knew Cold loved Amber since long ago. Hence, if Amber was not well, Cole would also be upset.

Sheila loved Cole. She was unwilling to see him be bothered. Hence, even Amber was her rival in love. Sheila was willing to call Cole to ask him to check on Amber.

Love could make people both selfish and selfless.

Sheila was the latter type. She knew Cole, and she didn't have the fate to be together, so she couldn't love him selfishly. Of course, she hoped her beloved man to be happy. After the call was connected, she heard Cole's voice. "Hello, Sheila. What's the matter?"

"Mr. Lyon, just now, Ms. Reed answered a call. Then she was in a bad mood. Would you like to come over to check on her?" Sheila asked while staring at Amber's office door. Upon hearing it, Cole instantly stood up. "Who has called Babe?"

His nickname to Amber upset Sheila.

However, she suppressed her sadness, took a deep breath, and calmed down. "It was Mr. Channing, Mr. Farrell's assistant."

"Ben Channing!" Cole looked annoyed when hearing this name.

Not to mention Ben worked for Jared. Cole always found himself in trouble whenever seeing Ben.

Recalling that once Ben suppressed him and he couldn't move a bit, Cold gritted his teeth in hatred. He squeezed words between his teeth, "I see. I'll be there right away." "Okay, Mr. Lyon."

After finishing the call, Sheila put away her phone, pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, and entered her own office.

Cole arrived at Goldstone in half an hour.

When he entered Amber's office, he looked highly solemn.

Amber was about to ask him why he was here. Seeing his expression, she changed her mind and asked, "Cole, what's wrong with you?"

"Babe, I seemed to have seen Braylee just now," Cole walked to her desk and said sullenly.

Upon hearing the voice, Amber sat upright, her eye pupils shrinking. "What did you say? Did you see Braylee, Braylee Reed?"

"Yes." Cold nodded hard. "I'm sure it's her. I took a picture of her."

"Show me," Amber stood up.

Cold pulled out his phone, tabbed to open the gallery, and found the latest photo to show her. "That's it. I didn't park my car in the parking lot on my way here. Instead, I pulled over on the roadside outside your company entrance. I took a glance and saw her sitting in the cafe across the street when I got down. I was shocked, and then I shot her photo."

Amber didn't listen to him. Instead, she gazed at his phone screen without a blink.

It was a woman's side face in the photo. Since the camera was zoomed in, it wasn't hyper clear, but Amber recognized that woman was Braylee Reed indeed with a glimpse.

She was her half-sister, who had stolen the remaining money of Goldstone with Amber's stepmother and escaped abroad.

"She ran away six years ago. I didn't expect she would return," Amber said in anger, gripping the phone tightly.

Cold nodded. "Yeah. We have thought she and your stepmother won't return. I didn't expect her to return after six years. I'm afraid your stepmother has also returned."

Amber sneered. "That makes sense. Goldstone is developing steadily now. It hasn't gone bankrupt. They've heard the news and returned."

"Do you mean they return to steal Goldstone from you?" Cole frowned deeply.

Amber returned the phone to him. "Besides that, I can't think any other intentions for them to suddenly return to Olkmore. The two women are both selfish and greedy. Like mother, like daughter. Right after my father had passed away, they stole all the money and vanished utterly. They didn't care what Goldstone would end up to. They even didn't attend my father's funeral. How heartless they are! They are only driven by interest. Goldstone would have been doomed six years ago if Bernardo Delgado hadn't stood out and asked the banks to loan the company some money.

Amber believed that she should thank Bernardo for his help to make Goldstone survive at that time.

Although Bernardo's real intention was to take over Goldstone, she couldn't deny his contribution to this company.

That was also why Amber kept tolerating no matter what trouble Bernardo had made. She didn't suppress and forcibly punish him as the company's biggest shareholder.

Of course, if Bernardo had touched her rock bottom, Amber wouldn't tolerate him any longer.

She was the biggest shareholder of Goldstone Co. She had many means to force Bernardo to leave the company.

Cole laughed in anger. "The two women ran away as soon as the crisis happened to Goldstone and the Reed family. Now, the company has survived, and they came back to get the fruit of victory. How shameless!"

"For heartless ones, the shame doesn't mean anything. They only focus on the interest. I wonder when they have come back and how long they have been in town." Amber frowned, lost in thought. ↑

If they had just come back, Amber was sure they would make trouble soon.

If they had been in town for a while, where did they leave? Why didn't they come to her after such a long time?"
