Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) -
Chapter 49 Let Him Be If He Wants to Accuse Me
"Logan plays basketball as a hobby. Even if he stops playing, he can still go home and squander money for other fun stuff. As for you, you play basketball to earn a living. Moreover, it's just a try-out for you, and it's still unclear whether you'll enter the national team or not," Amber looked at the boy with a pitiful look and continued, "Such a pity."
"You are... You!" The boy's mother was furious.
Logan felt pleasant as he looked at Amber who was roasting the boy and his mother calmly.
Logan shivered as he looked at Amber, who walked towards him. Then, he rushed up to her, pulled her coat sleeves and begged in a low voice, "I want to play basketball. Can you please let me take part in the try-out and not let Hayden take me back with him?"
"When did I say I would let Hayden take you back?" Amber looked at him and continued, "Or do you want to go back with him?"
Logan was stunned, and he continued, "Then, then why did Hayden..."
"He sent me here."
"Oh, I see," Logan patted his chest and continued, "I thought he was here to take me back, and this scared me to death."
Amber ignored him, and she went over to shake hands with the coach, "Hello, I am Logan Farrell's sister. I'm sorry that something held me off at the company just now, and I could only rush over here." "It's fine. It's glad to see you here."
After shaking hands with Amber, the coach handed her the contract and said, "Logan is very talented, and I'm sure he will pass the try-out! Don't worry about leaving him with me. I will do my best to guide him well."
Amber smiled and responded, "I'm sure that I can rest assured with your words."
Amber opened the contract and was about to sign it, but the parents behind her yelled, "I watched them play basketball just now. Logan's performance was average, and he didn't play as good as my son. Why should he participate in the try-out?"
"Yes, I saw that too. He didn't play well"
The coach calmly explained to the parents, "I'm the coach. I know how the students are playing better than you. Logan was outstanding at playing basketball..."
"Did his brother approach you, coach?" One of the parents inquired tentatively, and the meaning of the words was obvious.
"That's fu... bullshit!" Logan was about to explode. He ground his teeth when saying, "I played basketball well. What's with my brother? Don't slander me!"
"We don't think you're a good player either, Logan!" A few boys who had signed the try-out contract agreed with their parents.
"Hey, you guys..." The coach was afraid that any words he said would spark an argument.
Amber squinted her eyes as she observed the coach's helpless look. Then, she put down the pen and shouted towards Logan, "Logan, since your classmates don't think that you can play basketball well. Then why don't you guys have a match?"
Amber then suggested to the boys, "How about two wins in three games?"
"Let's play!" The boys were all chosen by the national team's coach, and their basketball skills must be good. Thus, they weren't afraid to have a match with Logan.
"That's fine," Amber looked towards the coach apologetically and said, "It's going to take you a little longer, coach."
The coach felt relieved as he saw Amber trying to mediate the situation and said, "It's fine. I also would like to observe further too. I want to see what position is suitable for each of them."
The coach soon arranged the number of people on each side and their respective positions.
Amber handed a towel to Logan and said, "Play this game well. I'll help you sign the try-out contract if you win the match. If you lose it, we'll all be embarrassed, and you might get slapped when you get home.' "I will not let my brother be disgraced," Logan responded with a firm expression and continued with full of enthusiasm, "I will win!"
It was just a friendly match between classmates, but Amber saw a touch of fervor in Logan's eyes.
Jared was always calm and restrained, and he always handled everything methodically. On contrary, Logan, who was in front of her, was full of enthusiasm.
Logan was like a different version of Jared.
Amber suppressed her emotions and said softly, "Go ahead. I hope that you won't make me come here for nothing."
Logan nodded and quickly entered the court.
Hayden had been eavesdropping on their conversation since he entered with Amber. He didn't expect Amber to be so audacious to keep this from Jared and come here as a parent to help Logan sign the basketball team's try-out contract.
He secretly recorded a video while Amber was conversing with Logan.
The basketball match started. When Logan scored, Amber cheered for him, and she screamed despite her graceful public image to support him. Hayden suddenly said, "Logan is going to work at the Farrell Group in the future. Aren't you afraid of Jared blaming you for helping Logan to sign the try-out contract and letting him play basketball?"
"Let him be if he wants to accuse me," Amber's gaze followed Logan on the court and gasped, "I had long been a bad person in his heart anyway. Moreover, he has to introspect himself."
"Oh?" Hayden raised his eyebrows and asked, "What should he introspect on?"
Amber quietened down, and Logan missed a score just at this moment. Then, Amber continued, "Jared should reflect on how he is doing as a brother. He should understand what kind of life Logan wants. Don' regret it when something bad happens."
"You're right, Ms. Reed. I agree with you."
After Hayden finished recording the video, he opened WhatsApp and sent both videos to Jared.
Jared was in his office. His face was stiffened as he saw the videos from Hayden.☐☐
