Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) -
Chapter 274 I Don't Want Anything from You
Ben said in a helpless tone, "Mr. Farrell, several reporters me to interview you. I guess they want to ask you about your attitude to Makenna Gardner's matter."
Jared frowned. "Which agencies are those reporters from?"
"All agencies except the biggest one."
Jared pressed his thin lips. "Give them a warning. If they want to interview me, they should be ready for bankruptcy."
"Yes, Mr. Farrell," Ben answered without hesitation.
He also thought those agencies deserved it.
How dare they want to interview Mr. Farrell at this critical moment! They must have death wishes.
"By the way, Mr. Farrell." Ben recalled something and said, "Last time, you let me ask Mikel Schafer if your current heart was from his brother, and I did ask him. He has known it all the time. Hence, he has been spying on you for the past six years. After the hypnosis on you was weakened, he appeared immediately."
Jared raised his chin. "I see."
"Besides, Mikel will go to the company to help you get rid of the hypnosis and the mental suggestion. Then your sealed memory will be awakened," added Ben.
Jared hummed to answer. Then he asked, "Have you found anything suspicious of Martin's death?"
"Not yet." Ben shook his head regretfully. "After all, it's been six years. It may take us a long time to replace the clues. I've contacted the traffic control department to see if there's any surveillance video record of Martin's car accident. A more detailed investigation would be carried out if we could replace it. If not, it would be challenging."
Jared's eyes darkened. "You can start with Makenna Gardner."
"Probably it won't work." Ben heaved a sigh. "If Martin's death truly had something to do with Makenna, the latter would never admit it. Even if she did, we wouldn't present solid evidence. In that case, she could repute the judge and declare we had forced her to admit it. Then she would be acquitted."
Upon hearing it, Jared frowned deeply.
Ben's words made sense. Without any evidence, it would be pretty tricky to convict Makenna. Otherwise, he had already sent her to jail when the hypnosis was weakened.
However, he had no evidence that Makenna wanted to murder Amber. They only had Cole and Hayden as the witnesses, who were both Amber's friends. Makenna could declare that those witnesses had taken Amber's side to slander her in court. Hence, their testimonies would be invalid. Solid evidence was still needed. Otherwise, Makenna would still be at large in the end.
Of course, even if the law wouldn't punish Makenna, Jared could do something privately.
His eyes twinkled when he thought of it. Then he said coldly, "I see. Keep on looking into Martin's death. Besides, summarize all the cooperated projects between the Farrell Group and the Trident Group. Send it to me before the press conference tomorrow."
Ben knew that Jared planned to cut out all the cooperation with the Trident Group. In a hurry, he nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Farrell."
Jared didn't speak more while putting down his phone.
The next morning, Amber got ready and changed into her shoes. She was heading to the company.
As soon as he opened the door, she saw the man leaning against the wall.
"Why are you here?" Amber was taken aback, frowning. She asked unhappily, "What do you want?"
Jared stood upright and handed her a paper bag in his hands. "Did you have breakfast?" he asked.
Amber took a glance at the bag. "What, you came here to send me breakfast?"
Jared nodded. "I also missed you."
"Haha..." Amber sneered. "But I don't miss you."
Jared's eyes dimmed. Then he returned to normal and said gently, "There are mango pudding and mango juice inside. All your favorite. Have a try?"
Amber wasn't surprised that he knew her favorite food. After all, she had told him in the letters before.
"Did you often prepare these things for Makenna in the past?" Amber raised her eyebrows and asked but didn't take over the bag.
The alert went off in Jared's head as he realized he needed to be careful with answering this question. However, his thin lips parted, and he replied, "Yes, I did."
Firstly, he didn't need to lie to her. After all, he had done it before.
However, he didn't know Makenna pretended to be her pen pal at that time.
Amber was surprised when hearing his honest answer.
However, it didn't make any sense. Thinking that he gave the same food that he used to provide to Makenna, she felt disgusted.
"Mr. Farrell, you'd better take this back to Ms. Gardner. I don't need it. Besides, they are not my favorite anymore." After she finished her words, Amber bypassed Jared to walk away. Jared suddenly grabbed her and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. It's my bad. In the future, I..."
"There's no future," Amber raised her hand and interrupted him. She said coldly, "Mr. Farrell, can't you see it? I just don't want to accept anything from you. That's it." Jared pressed his thin lips tightly.
Of course, he understood what she meant, but he was unwilling to admit it purposely.
"Can you let me go now, Mr. Farrell?" Amber asked.
Jared's eyes twinkled. He returned to his senses and let go of her.
Amber patted her sleeve as if there was something dirty on it.
Seeing that, Jared couldn't help tightening his grip on the paper bag.
He wondered if she disliked him that much.
"All right. Mr. Farrell." Amber put down his hands and looked at Jared expressionlessly. "Could you stop coming to my apartment in the future, please? I feel quite annoyed. Besides, something happened to your fiancée last night. I'm sure she needs your company right now. Aren't you sorry for leaving her alone?"
"I've never done anything to hurt her." Jared didn't like it when she tried to push him to another woman. With an annoyed look, he said, "From this morning on, she's no longer my fiancée." "Pardon me?" Amber gaped in surprise.
Then she recalled that several days ago, Logan phoned her and told her that Jared wanted to cancel his engagement with Makenna.
Only then did Amber realize that Logan wasn't kidding with her.
Sure enough, Jared's answer the next second approved her thought.
"I'm going to cancel the engagement with Makenna Gardner. The press conference will start at ten o'clock. You must watch it," Jared said while staring at Amber.
Amber frowned. "Why should I? I'm not interested in your affairs."
Upon hearing her refusal, Jared wasn't angry. He curled up his lips into a smile and said, "It's alright. After it ends, I'll call you to tell you all the details about it." After that, he glanced at her and turned to walk to the elevator.
Looking at his back, Amber said, "I don't want to hear about it. You know what? If you call me, I won't pick it up at all."
Jared's pace paused a bit. Then he faked not hearing it and entered the elevator.
Downstairs.
Seeing him coming out of the building with the paper bag, Ben pushed up his glasses. He didn't feel surprised at all. In compassion, he said, "It's expected. Ms. Reed will accept everything but those from Mr. Farrell."
Although his remark was correct, Jared pulled a long face. "I won't think you are mute if you shush."
Ben scratched his head and grinned.
Jared tossed the paper bag to him. "Eat them all."
"All?" Ben hurriedly caught it and raised his voice.☐☐☐☐
