Chapter 1
At the hospital, where the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, Amber Stone was in high spirits.
She left the doctor’s office with aboratory test report in her hands. Just when she was nning to
make a phone call, her phone rang first. She picked it up and heard her uncle’s voice on the other side
of the line. “Amber, is everything alright between you and Rodney Barron?” he asked.
…
“Yeah, we’re good, I guess? Why do you ask?” Amber asked in return.
“Well, because I’ve just heard that Rodney brought a pregnant woman to an antenatal checkup on the
day before yesterday,” he answered frankly.
Amber burst outughing and said, “Are you thinking that Rodney has a mistress out there?”
“Yes!” he responded.
“Don’t worry, even if all men in the world cheated, Rodney wouldn’t!” She waspletely positive
about it.
Amber ended the conversation with her uncle and proceeded to call Rodney. The phone rang for some
time before it was picked up. “I’m extremely busy, so don’t bother me if there’s nothing. That’s it!” His
voice sounded cold and emotionless. Before Amber could speak, he hung up the phone. Her heart
froze while her hand gripped theb test report. Her enthusiasm had wholly dissipated.
…
Amber and Rodney had since been married for three years. He had always been gentle with her, but
there had been a drastic change in his attitudetely. Not only was he cold, he also became very
impatient while answering her calls. What exactly changed Rodney so much?This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
She turned around while still absorbed in her thoughts. Then, a figure swayed before her and a soft
voice sounded in her ear. “Hey, sister.” Amber turned her gaze in the direction of the voice and saw
Celia ck, who had appeared next to her with a middle-aged woman.
…
Upon seeing Celia, the daughter of her father’s mistress, Amber frowned. “Don’t simply address me as
your sister. I’m the only child my mother has ever given birth to!” Amber responded coldly with a look of
disgust.
Unaffected by her demeanour, Celia smiled and gently asked, “Are you here to treat your infertility
again, dear sister?”
“That’s none of your business,” retorted Amber.
“Aren’t you going to ask me why I’m here as well?” Celia smirked at Amber and continued, “I’m
pregnant! The baby is Rodney’s!”
Only then did Amber noticed that Celia’s belly was a little rounder than before. Celia’s feelings for
Rodney had always been extremely obvious. She did everything possible to seduce him before he tied
the knot with Amber. “It seems to me that you’re not quite right in the head,” Amber sneered.
“You don’t believe me? How about you take a look at this then?” Celia showed her a medical consent
form and her face turned pale as soon as she recognised the familiar handwriting on it. “Rodney’s
signature? How could that be?” Amber was stupefied.
…
“Rodney and I got to spend the night together four months ago. He was so vigorous that he kept me up
all night and then, I was pregnant!” Celia smirked proudly. “He really likes this child, you know. Let me
give birth to this baby, then, you may resign as his wife!”
“B*tch!” Amber pped Celia across the face as her body trembled with rage. All of a sudden, Celia fell
to the ground and groaned, “Ouch, my belly!” Amber was shocked, she had only hit Celia’s face, but
fresh blood could be seen leaking along her trousers. “How could it be?” Amber thought.
…
Celia was taken to the emergency room by the medical staffs. Having no courage to leave, Amber went
after them as well.
After a few moments at the emergency unit, Amber heard footstepsing towards her direction. It
was Rachel Grant, Amber’s mother-inw. Rachel’s eyes narrowed as she saw Amber. “What
happened? Celia had been fine, but why is she in the emergency room now?”
“It was Miss. Stone. No, it was Mrs. Barron, she pushed her!” answered the middle-aged woman who
was apanying Celia earlier.
“You infertile b*tch! You yourself can’t give birth and are you not letting others do it too?” Rachel gave
Amber a hard p across the face, she had never liked her since the beginning. That p was so
strong that Amber’s face became swollen in a moment.
Before this, Amber had still thought that Celia was making up a s
tory, but her mother-inw’s attitude had made everything clear.
A sense of despair crept through Amber’s heart. She felt so suffocated as if she was about to faint. But
at the same moment, the door of the operating room opened. A nurse came out and reported that Celia
had a miscarriage.
The news made Rachel extremely furious. She charged towards Amber, punched and kicked her while
grabbing her hair.
Amber was beaten till her vision became blurry and soon, she lost her consciousness.
When she woke up, all she could see was white. She tried to sit up, but it was ufortable because
her body was aching so badly. Nevertheless, she managed to position herself to lean against the
bedside. While she was still catching her breath, the door was pushed open and a man wearing gold-
rimmed sses entered the room.
“How do you do, Miss. Stone. I’m Mr. Barron’swyer.”
“Awyer?” Amber looked at the man before her in astonishment.
“Precisely. I am Mr. Barron’s personalwyer. Mr. Barron has entrusted me to discuss with you, Miss.
Stone, about the divorce.”
“A divorce? Rodney wants a divorce?” Amber thought she must have misheard him.
Thewyer walked towards her and handed her a document. “This is the divorce settlement
agreement. Do have a look.”
Amber’s hands were shaking. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that Rodney would give
her a divorce agreement one day. She refused to look at it. Instead, she turned her gaze to thewyer
and said, “Inform Rodney Barron to meet me and let him tell me in person!”
“Mr. Barron is a busy man, he’s not avable!” stated thewyer coldly.
“He’s busy? Unavable?” Amber scoffed. Since when did her rtionship with Rodney declined to this
extent? She’s even prohibited from meeting him?
She grabbed her phone on the bedside table, dialed Rodney’s number, and waited with her eyes shut.
To her surprise, the call couldn’t get through.
Since when did she and Rodney reached such a state? First, an affair and now, a divorce?
Thewyer was still there, waiting impatiently. “Miss. Stone, please take a look at the agreement. I’m
very busy!”
Thewyer’s attitude said it all. During her marriage of three years, everyone associated with Rodney
had treated her with respect. But now, thewyer’s attitude was hard and cold. It was obvious that this
was indeed Rodney’s intent.
Amber grabbed the divorce agreement and swept her gaze to the part regarding property division.
Tears started welling up in her eyes as she read what was stated, “All property belonged to Rodney
Barron before the marriage and so shall be excluded from the division.”
Rodney had once said that she was his everything and everything he possessed were hers. However,
within just three years, their love was no more. Had Rodney finally revealed his true colours?
He had an affair behind her back and even got the mistress pregnant! Therefore, as the barren wife,
she should make way, shouldn’t she? Amber’s heart was bitter to the uttermost. She stopped reading
the agreement and shifted her gaze towards thewyer who had been staring at her. “Give me a pen!”
…
Thewyer took out a pen from his briefcase and handed it to Amber. As she took the pen, he added,
“Mr. Barron has said that you can’t take away any of the jewellery he bought for you!”
Amber stared ahead nkly and remained motionless for a long time. Just when thewyer thought
that she would refuse, she slowly said, “Okay!”
Immediately, she picked up the pen and signed her name on the divorce agreement.
Thewyer took the divorce agreement and examined it briefly before proceeding to leave.
In the parking lot of the hospital, there parked a luxurious Aston Martin. The window rolled down,
revealing an extremely handsome face. Thewyer scurried towards the car and said respectfully, “Mr.
Barron, madam has signed it!”
“She signed it?” The man articted the words slowly, staring at thewyer’s face with his brooding
eyes.
Observing his uncertain expression, thewyer felt a little nervous and thought he should reply
something. However, he couldn’t say a word. The man shifted his gaze from thewyer and turned to
look at the night sky. After a while, he uttered, “You may leave!”
