Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) -
Chapter 280 It's Chloe Mendez
Amber paused her pace. "Yes, Mr. Gardner?"
Jeremy also looked back at Trenton.
Trenton walked to them and gazed at Amber in hatred. "Did you send someone to bully Makenna?"
In the beginning, he had thought Makenna was bullied by accident.
Later, when he calmed down and thought about it, he smelt something fishy.
If Makenna had been bullied by accident, those criminals wouldn't have dumped her downtown because they would be afraid of being caught.
However, those criminals had dumped her downtown to let her exposed in public purposely. The purpose was to ruin Makenna. Trenton believed that there was a manipulator behind. The most possible suspect was Amber.
Only Amber had a deep grudge with Makenna.
Upon hearing Trenton's question, Amber was amused in anger. "What's wrong? You can't replace the suspect, so you want to push the blames on me, huh?"
Jeremy didn't speak, lowering his head.
Trenton snorted. "I'm not pushing the blames on you. My hunch told me this matter must have something to do with you."
Amber's eyes twinkled a bit.
He was right. It had something to do with Amber.
Elias took action, and he did it for her. Hence, it had something to do with her indeed.
But, so what? Amber wouldn't admit it.
Thinking of that, she smiled. "You want to convict me because of your hunch. No wonder the Trident Group is declining now. I heard Mr. Farrell had terminated his cooperation with your company. Congratulations, Mr. Gardner!"
Trenton couldn't utter a beep in anger for a long while. With a sneer, he said, "What a sharp-tongue!"
He knew Amber mocked him for managing the Trident Group by his hunch without any competence.
She also mocked him for offending Jared because of his video as he had thought Jared wouldn't terminate their cooperation, but Jared slapped him in the face.
Trenton realized what a tough nut to crack Amber was.
He looked at Amber in hatred.
Amber didn't fear at all. Instead, she looked into his eyes with a smile. "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Gardner. It's good to be sharp-tongued. At least, when I meet someone I don't like, I can render him speechless. What do you think, Mr. Gardner?"
Trenton's lips twitched. He knew Amber was still mocking him.
However, he couldn't lose his temper at all.
Trenton took several deep breaths to suppress his anger. He forced a wry smile, "I agree."
"Pfff!" Jeremy burst into laughter.
Trenton stared daggers at him instantly.
Jeremy noticed it. He slowly put away his smile and gazed at Trenton.
Looking at Jeremy's ink-black and cold eyes, Trenton felt like he was looking at a wolf. Trenton's heart sank, and he felt a chill rise from his spine.
What happened?
He wondered why this model had such a horrible gaze.
Jeremy's gaze looked familiar to him. Trenton wondered where he had seen it before.
He frowned but couldn't ring the bell.
Amber checked the time. "All right, Jeremy. Let's go."
Jeremy smiled again and hummed gently.
They walked forward.
Finally, Trenton returned to his senses. He looked at the receding figures of the two and yelled, "Amber Reed, you'd better pray to Heaven not let me replace out Makenna's incident has something to do with you. Otherwise, I'll risk whatever I have to haunt you down."
He had prepared to let Makenna marry into the Farrell family. However, since this matter happened, he couldn't force Makenna to marry Jared.
Hence, his effort was in vain. How could he not be angry?
Upon hearing his threat, Amber paused her paces. Then she answered without looking back, "Really? I'll wait and see."
Jeremy didn't speak. He looked back and gazed at Trenton with the same look earlier as if he wanted to remember Trenton firmly. He didn't turn around until he entered the building.
Outside the interrogation room, Amber stood at the door and saw the suspect through the glass on the door. It was a petite man with a plain look.
He was sitting on the chair, wearing a gray windbreaker. He was cowering there, looking twitchy and uneasy.
He had been arrested by the police so of course, he was afraid.
"He was the one who projected the skull on my window?" Amber asked the policeman next to her after withdrawing her gaze on the suspect.
Jeremy kept sizing that man up, thoughtfully.
Amber didn't notice it. She looked at the policeman, waiting for his answer.
The policeman nodded. "Yes. We've checked the surveillance monitors on several streets and finally confirmed it was him. His name is Tom Wark. He's a paparazzo."
"A paparazzo?" Amber raised her eyebrows.
No wonder when she found this man that night, he immediately hid the projectors in his coat and ran away while lowering his head.
She felt familiar with his movements. It was precisely the same reaction when a paparazzo was found following an artist.
Jeremy also withdrew his gaze from Tom Wark, turned around, and asked the policeman, "Did he confess why he did that?"
Amber patted her forehead. "Right. I almost forgot to ask."
"Yes, he did. After he was arrested, he answered when we asked him. He said a woman named Chloe Mendez had paid him two hundred thousand dollars to do so. The purpose was to scare you, Ms. Reed." "Chloe Mendez?" Amber and Jeremy exclaimed in unison.
Evidently, neither of them had expected Chloe to do it.
On the way to the police station, they were guessed if Makenna had hired the suspect to do so.
Much to their surprise, it was Chloe.
"Did Tom Wark mention why Chloe Mendez wanted to scare me?" Amber pressed her lips and asked.
The policeman shook his head. "No, he didn't. He also didn't ask Chloe Mendez. If you want to know the reason, you should ask her in person."
"I see." Amber rubbed her temples. "Although this isn't a criminal case, it's an offense of intimidation. I'm reporting to the police now and charge Chloe Mendez with the offense of intimidation. You'll bring her here, right?" Amber looked at the policeman.
Policeman smiled. "Of course. I'll inform them to take her over. You may take a rest for a moment."
Amber hummed. "Okay. Thanks."
The policeman left.
Amber and Jeremy went to sit down on the bench next to the room, waiting for Chloe to come over.
Amber wasn't interested in meeting the man in the interrogation room. The police had asked everything that should be asked.
The man only worked for money, so he didn't know much either. Even if Amber asked him questions, she wouldn't get any reply. It would be only a waste of time.
In the hospital, after visiting Makenna, Chloe wanted to go home. As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she received a call from the police station.
"Hello, is that Ms. Chloe Mendez?"
"Yes, this is she. Who is speaking?" Chloe asked in confusion, feeling uneasy somehow.
"This is the police station."
"The police station?" Chloe's voice raised instantly, which attracted the attention of the people around, including Ben, who was holding a bag of medicines and looking to the direction. "Well... How may I help you?" Chloe swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice.
Since she had been detained for half a month last time, she was afraid whenever she heard anything about the police.
Especially now, because she had recently done something that might be against the law.000000----------
