Chapter 16


    It waste at night, a ck car with smooth lines was parked below the apartment where Amber and


    Ashton lived.


    The lights were dim, and a flickering cigarette in the car reflected on a man’s gloomy face.


    The branded watch on his wrist pointed at three o’clock in the morning, but the woman was still


    nowhere to be seen.


    Having been waiting in the car for five hours, Rodney curled his lips.


    When he saw the woman and Elliot leave the hotel together intimately, he knew that she would stay out


    for the night. However, he still couldn’t control himself that he had toe and have a look.


    There was still a trace of fantasy in his heart. But reality had proven that his fantasy was nothing more


    than a fantasy after all.


    Throwing away the cigarette butt roughly, he started the engine, and soon the car disappeared into the


    boundless night.


    When he got home, his mother, Rachel, was still awake and waiting for him in the living room. When


    she saw Rodney back home, sheined, “Rodney, what’s wrong with you? Mr. ck finally had


    the time to dine with us. What’s the matter with you leaving halfway?”


    “Mum, I have business to attend to! Didn’t I exin it to you?” Rodney looked tired.


    “Business? Isn’t it because of Amber Stone? Rodney, I know you can’t forget her, but that little b*tch


    was so evil. Not only was she so heartless to you, but she also caused the death of Celia’s child. Why


    are you still missing such a vicious woman?”


    “Mom, I’m not missing her!” Rodney denied.


    “It’s best if you don’t miss her. You’re not young anymore, and Celia likes you so much. Both her


    identity and appearance match you well. You two should get married and give birth to a chubby baby


    boy as soon as possible. Then, I can rest assured.”


    “Let’s talk about this another time. I’m exhausted. Let’s go up and have a rest first!”


    Rachel sighed when she saw her son’s tired face. It had been three years. Within the three years, he


    had been as busy as a bee. Thepany was expanding bigger and bigger, and more and more


    money was earned. However, he never showed a smile on his face. It was all because of Amber, that


    jinx!


    That despicable jinx! Since she had left in the first ce, why did shee back now? She must have


    heard that Rodney was going to be engaged to Celia so she purposely came back to make trouble!


    Rachel’s face darkened and thought, “No, I have to talk to that jinx! Let her stay away from my son,


    leave the South City like three years ago, and never appear for the rest of her life!”


    …


    …


    Amber went to the hospital to apany her uncle after leaving Elliot that night. As soon as the day


    dawned, she got up quietly and went to the market, nning to buy a chicken to make some soup for


    her uncle.


    Arriving at themunity gate while carrying the chicken, she saw Rachel with a cold face at a nce.


    Seeing Amber, Rachel came over and stopped her. “I have something to say to you.”


    “I’m not free!” Amber refused directly.


    “Only a few words.” Rachel had specially came and waited for her, so she naturally would not let her


    go. “Amber Stone, name a price!”


    “Name a price?”


    “That’s right. I know that you were resentful when you got divorced without any share of property. So,


    you’ve purposely came back to make trouble when you saw that Rodney was about to get engaged.


    I’m telling you, I will never let Rodney be with you. You better give up!”


    “Don’t worry, Mrs. Barron. Your intentions are also my intentions.” Amber retorted.


    “Is that so? If that’s the case, then leave South City immediately. I’ll give you money. Once you get the


    money, leave right away!”


    Amber looked at the domineering woman, her previous mother-inw in front of her andughed


    instead of being angry. “Mrs. Barron, how much are you nning to give me?”


    “How about one million?” Seeing that Amber just sneered and did not speak, she quickly added, “Two


    million dors. If you leave immediately, I can add another five hundred thousand dors!”


    “Two million and five hundred thousand dors? Mrs. Barron, you think I’m stupid?”


    “How much do you want then?”


    Amber stretched out a finger. Rachel frowned and said, “Ten million? Amber Stone, do you think I’m an


    easy mark?”


    “Incorrect, Mrs. Barron. I want a hundred million dors. Give me one hundred million and I’ll leave at


    once!”


    “One hundred million? Have you be crazy just thinking about money?” Rachel’s expression


    changed.


    “Didn’t you ask me to name the price? Let me tell you, give me a hundred million dors and I will leave


    immediately. Otherwise, you can just forget about it!”


    “Shameless b*tch, you’re so ungrateful!” Rachel was so angry that she started to curse. Amber


    sneered and said, “What’s wrong, Mrs. Barron? Are you angry because you’re embarrassed? Since


    you can’t give the named price, why are you pretending like you’re so wealthy?”


    “Amber Stone, don’t be so brazen. I haven’t held you ountable for Celia’s miscarriage. If you don’t


    listen to me, then don’t me me!”

    “Really? I would like to see what you want to do. You wouldn’t want your future daughter-inw to be in


    infamy as a mistress, do you? The Chief Secretary’s daughter willingly bing a mistress and


    destroying other people’s family, this can’t be a small news, right?”


    “You!” She didn’t expect the previously quiet Amber to be so powerful. Rachel was speechless for a


    moment. Amber didn’t have time to deal with her nonsense. She moved passed her and strode away.


    Watching Amber walk away, Rachel sneered. “Little b*tch, you’re too naive to be fighting with me.


    Prepare to die!”
