Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 572 It Was Trenton

Hearing these words, Amber's felt a bam in her head, and the world was like spinning.

She held her forehead, her body swayed, and she almost fell.

Seeing this, Jared quickly stood up and pulled her into his arms with one hand, letting her lean on his chest. "Watch out."

"I'm fine." Amber shook her head, her voice choked with sobs and hoarse.

She did not expect that her father's suicide actually had another secret!

She had always thought that her father could not stand Goldstone going bankrupt and could not stand Braylee and her mother running away with the last of their funds, so he jumped off the building on impulse However, now Nichole told her that the real reason for her father's suicide was that he had been drugged, which resulted in his mental problem, and he was induced to jump off the building! No, this couldn't be!

For a moment, Amber was somewhat unable to accept this fact.

"Nichole, are you sure you've heard it clearly?" Amber broke away from Jared's embrace and turned to Nichole. She held Nichole's hand tightly and asked eagerly and expectantly. She really hoped that what Nichole said was false.

Nichole naturally saw through her thoughts. She looked at her with some heartache and nodded slightly. "I'm sorry, Amber. What I said is true. I didn't lie to you. When I heard this, I was completely dumbfounded. How could there be such awful people in this world? They even wanted to harm their own husband and father. But at that time, I didn't know about Braylee's relationship with you. It was only yesterday when I found out Braylee was your sister that I suddenly realized the person Braylee poisoned was also your father, so I rushed over to tell you about this."

At this moment, Amber could no longer deceive herself and said that this could not be true.

She suddenly lost all her strength. Her entire face was pale, and she fell back onto the sofa. Her eyes looked at the ground absent-mindedly and she felt cold all over.

"Amber." Jared walked over and called out to her with concern.

Amber raised her head to look at him. A moment later, she said, "How dare she? How dare she drug my father? Even if she felt that my father was not good to her, she couldn't do this. He is her biological father!"

Moreover, her father had never treated Braylee badly.

It was only because Braylee was disobedient and her father was tired that he beat and scolded Braylee. But that did not mean that her father did not love Braylee.

So how could Braylee have done this?

And Beatrice Sitwell. Was Hugo not good to her?

They could spend however much they wanted to spend. Even when Goldstone was in trouble, Hugo never stopped giving them money, so why did they poison their husband and father? The more she thought about it, the more terrible it became. Amber trembled and finally could not help wailing.

Jared pressed the back of her head and gently pressed her into his arms. He whispered, "Cry. You can cry as you can. But after this, you have to be strong. Think about how to avenge your father." Amber's body froze for a moment, but soon she cried even harder.

"You just said that Braylee was thanking the person on the other side of the line for the medicine, right? Did you hear who the person on the other side of the line was?" Jared asked.

Hearing Jared's question, Amber took a few deep breaths and forced herself to calm down. Then she came out of his arms and looked at Nichole.

"No," Nichole shook her head apologetically. "Braylee didn't call the other party by the name at that time. She only used the word 'sir' to address the person."

"It's Trenton Gardner." Amber bit her lips tightly and suddenly spoke.

"Are you so sure?" Jared lowered his head to look at her.

"Six years ago, an accident happened to Goldstone because Trenton had deliberately set up a trap to lure my father into it. My father wanted to buy a piece of land at that time. I don't know where Trenton found out about it, but he colluded with a good friend of my father's and asked that friend to deliberately tell him that there was a good piece of land in the east of the city."

"The east of the city?" Jared narrowed his eyes. "I remember that a large ancient tomb was excavated in the eastern part of the city, right?"

Yes, Trenton knew that there was an ancient tomb underground, so he wanted to use that piece of land to plot against my father and Goldstone. My father trusted that friend very much and never suspected that the friend was lying to him, so my father fell for it. Almost all of Goldstone's funds were taken out to buy that piece of land. If that piece of land had really been a good place, Goldstone would have definitely gone further, but it was not."

When she said this, she clenched her fists and her voice became much sharper. "A month after the construction on that piece of land, the team discovered a large number of ancient tombs which attracted the attention of the relevant departments. The relevant departments sent people to investigate and felt that it was very valuable for ancient research. Then the country decided to take back that piece of land, and the compensation that was given to Goldstone after taking it back was only one-tenth of the original price!"

"Because the remaining funds were not taken back, Goldstone had fallen into a state of bankruptcy at any time," Jared continued.

Amber nodded with a choked-up voice, "Trenton just wanted Goldstone to go bankrupt. After that piece of land was discovered to be an ancient tomb, Trenton once appeared in the Reed family and ridiculed my father. He admitted that the piece of land was his plot and said that it was not over yet. He also wanted my father's family to be destroyed, so the one who had asked Braylee and her daughter to poison my father must be Trenton!"

"This is indeed very possible." Jared touched his chin and muttered, "But there is no evidence to prove this. Even if the mastermind was really Trenton, you can't do anything about it."

"What about Braylee?" Amber looked at him and said, "As long as Braylee is caught, she must know who gave her the medicine."

"That's true, but I'm afraid that Braylee doesn't know who gave her the medicine either. Maybe the person who contacted her at that time was not Trenton himself, but someone else arranged by Trenton? In this way, we still can't prove Trenton guilty." Jared said.

"No matter what, I have to give it a try." Amber looked down.

She took a deep breath and looked at Nichole, "Nichole, do you know where Braylee was sent to by the Pratt family?"

"I have to ask Jonah's father." Nichole replied. Then she thought of something and said, "But we have to wait until this afternoon. Now he and my father are having a very important meeting. It won't end in a few hours, so I can't contact him."

"It doesn't matter. When you can, please help me ask him." Amber nodded gratefully.

After that, Nichole bid farewell and left.

There were only Amber and Jared in the living room.

Amber sat there with her head slightly lowered. Her emotions had yet to fully recover.

After all, what Nichole had told her was too shocking and sad for her.

Jared did not say anything. He sat quietly next to her and wanted to protect her like a guardian.

After an unknown period of time, Amber wiped her face and finally said, "Do you know? In fact, I have long noticed that six years ago Dad was in a bad state for a while, but I did not take it to heart." "What do you mean?" Jared poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.

Amber took the glass of water and took a long breath. "A month before Dad committed suicide, there was a problem with Dad's mental state. He would either forget things or suddenly become irritable and absent-minded."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
