Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 255 Speechless

"I can't. I have promised him," the man calmed himself down soon as he drew his attention back and shook his head to show his determination.

Jared was caught by anger again. He clenched his fist firmly and growled, "Why can't you? This is none of my business! Since that person loves Makenna that much, you can hypnotize her and let them fall in love with each other! Why should I sacrifice myself?"

The man's originally emotionless eyes suddenly glinted with sorrow. He looked down and muttered, "It is too late..."

"What do you mean?"

Without speaking, the man suddenly stepped forward and snapped his fingers. His movement was too fast to be stopped by both Ben and Jared.

The crisp snap penetrated the air.

Hearing it, Jared lost the focus in his eyes and his brain went blank.

And so did Ben who was sitting in the car far behind.

When they regained their focus, they found that the man had already disappeared.

"Mr. Farrell!" Ben immediately ran to Jared with an umbrella and asked, "What happened? Who's he?"

Jared didn't answer and sat back into the car absent-mindedly.

Ben took out a towel from the glove box and handed it to Jared.

Jared got the towel and covered his head with it. He said with a hoarse voice, "He is the man who has hypnotized us."

"What?" Ben was so shocked that he hit his head on the car, which made him cry out of pain.

However, he didn't care about the pain. He gripped the wheel tightly and asked, "Mr. Farrell, we have truly been hypnotized, haven't we?"

"Yes," Jared covered his face with the towel, so no one could see his expression.

A shade of fear caught Ben, and he asked, "But when?"

Jared's eyelashes shivered a little under the towel.

He also wanted to know when they had been hypnotized.

He had never seen this man. How did he manage to do that?

It was obvious that he was terrible and powerful.

"Mr. Farrell, why did he hypnotize us?" Ben asked anxiously.

Jared took the towel down and said, "Hush now. Investigate his identity and dig out all his interpersonal relationships."

He had to know his true identity.

He also wanted to know who was the "important someone" loving Makenna.

"Yes, sir." Ben nodded his head seriously.

Even though Mr. Farrell didn't ask him to, he would still investigate him.

How dared he hypnotize them? He had made a terrible mistake!

"Go on. To the Gardener's house." Jared demanded.

Ben restarted his drive.

Soon, they arrived at Gardner's villa.

Jared rang the bell.

The servant who came to open the door was startled when she saw that Jared was soaking wet all over. "Oh, Mr. Farrell, are you alright?"

Jared ignored and bypassed the servant. His footprints stained the floor as he walked into the villa.

Mrs. Gardner was arranging flowers when he walked into the living room. She looked up as she heard the footsteps, and she greeted him in shock, "Oh, Jared, why are you here? What happened to you?" "Where is Makenna?" Jared interrupted her.

Mrs. Gardner knew that there was something wrong with him since his face looked grim. She asked carefully, "She is in her room. Did you quarrel with each other?"

"Bring her to me!" Jared demanded coldly.

Mrs. Gardner was confused and frowned.

Seeing that she didn't do as he asked, Jared kicked the tea table heavily and demanded in a chilling tone again, "Bring her to me!"

Mrs. Gardner was startled by him. She sprang to her feet and responded with a pale face, "Well, I will call her right now. Helen, bring Makenna down here."

"Yes, madam," Helen, the servant who opened the door just now, went upstairs immediately.

Mrs. Gardner looked at Jared with fear and she asked carefully, "Jared, anything wrong happened? Why are you so angry? Did Makenna do something that pissed you off? Please be gentle to her, or you'll scare her."

"Scare her?" Jared stared at Mrs. Farrell with an extreme coldness in his eyes. He refuted, "How would I scare her when she is as daring as a criminal?"

Makenna had the guts to deceive him by pretending to be Maple Leaf, not to mention she also tried to kill Amber several times.

There was nothing that Makenna didn't dare to do.

"Jared, what do you mean? You don't have to be so harsh." Mrs. Gardner was displeased at his words.

Yet, no matter how much displeasure she wore on her face, she clearly knew that Makenna must have done something to piss him off.

Or he would never say those words.

Jared didn't talk to Mrs. Gardner anymore since Makenna went downstairs then.

"Jared, are you here for me?" Makenna walked to Jared with a bright beam.

When she found that Jared was totally wet, she cried out, "Jared, what happened to you? Helen, bring him the...."

"Shut up!" Jared interrupted her coldly.

Makenna shuddered as she saw only coldness in his eyes and on his face.

It seemed that his glare would tear her.

Makenna stepped backwards a little, which widened the distance between them. She squeezed a fake smile and asked, "Jared, why do you look at me like that? Did I do something wrong?" She began to recall all the tricks she had done to see which one could've found out by him.

But she believed that he could unveil nothing since she had always been a careful and masterful player.

Whereas, what Jared said next directly broke her confidence and dragged her into hell.

"Makenna, why did you pretend to be Maple Leaf?" Jared tried to suppress his rage.

Makenna's heart sank right away!

Makenna felt like a thunder just exploded in her brain, which transfixed her body and numbed her limbs. She couldn't even utter a single syllable for a while. And then, she said fitfully, "Jared, what do you mean? I didn't pretend to be Maple Leaf. I am Maple Leaf. I don't understand."

How did he know that?!

"Jared, what do you mean?" Mrs. Gardner was confused.

Jared didn't even look at Mrs. Gardner and kept on glaring at Makenna. The fury in his eyes seemed to have transformed into a physical knife, which would slay her into pieces.

"You're lying again! I won't be here if I don't have the evidence! Six years ago, you pretended to be Maple Leaf and came to see me. You told me that you were my pen pal. And since then, I have always loved you, spoiled you and even ignored and bullied Amber for you! Makenna, you must be glad when I bullied Amber, right?"

There was fury hidden under Jared's calm and soft voice.

How could she not be glad when she could take the place of the real Maple Leaf and make him abandon Amber. She must be extremely happy.

Makenna blanched at his words.

After a few seconds, she shook her head and cried, "No, Jared, I didn't do that. I am the real Maple Leaf."

Jared stared at her coldly with contempt in his eyes.

How could she continue to lie for herself when he said that he had already had evidence?

She was indeed a powerful mental fighter under pressure.

Would such a person have a schizotypal personality disorder when irritated?

Jared doubted that.

"You said you were Maple Leaf. Did you live in Cobalt Coast? You ever had a dog? Do you have a step-mother and a sister?" Jared shot her a barrage of questions as he approached her at a pressing pace.
