Chapter 31


    Rachel didn’t expect that Amber would show up in such a high-ss restaurant. She took a few more


    nces at Amber. When Amber was forced to leave back then, she also requested to take back the


    wedding ring that she had given to Rodney. Not long after, the ring appeared in a pawn shop. She had


    actually traded in a ring that only worth a few thousand dors. One can imagine how distressed her


    life was.


    During the car ident issue with Amberst time, Amber was dressed like a poor person, old


    fashioned andcking of vitality. She definitely looked like she wasn’t living a good life. Rachel scorned


    in her heart, “Weren’t you so arrogant at that time? Now you know how tough life is when you leave the


    Barron family, don’t you?”


    …


    In Rachel’s heart, Amber was now the embodiment of a poor hopeless person. But looking at her


    current appearance, she was a little surprised.


    Compared to thest time, Amber became apletely different person. Although she was not


    wearing luxury clothes, those were not cheap items as well. Most importantly, this high-ss restaurant


    was not open to any ordinary people.


    Could she be married to a rich man? Amber Stone was beautiful indeed and had the capital to be


    married to a rich man. But wasn’t she infertile? It’s difficult for an infertile woman to remain in a rich


    family. Rachel thought of a word, “Lover.”


    Only this kind of exnation was valid enough. Thinking that Amber might be a lover of a big-bellied


    man, she suddenly felt happy in her heart.


    “This is the consequence of going against me. Amber Stone, you deserve it!” thought Rachel.


    While she was all jolly, she suddenly saw a young and tall figure walking in the direction of Amber.


    Then Rachel’s joy vanished immediately because she saw the man sitting down opposite Amber.


    After the man sat down, Rachel saw his face clearly. It turned out to be Elliot Thomson, whopeted


    with Rodney for the urban construction project. Elliot was as good-looking as Rodney and had a good


    family background. The only bad thing was that he was a yboy.


    It seemed that Amber must be one of his many lovers. Thinking of it this way, she felt at ease again.


    When her mood became better, Rodney also arrived. He went straight to Rachel and said, “Mum, I’m a


    littlete because I had something to settle.”


    “I just arrived as well,” Rachel replied as she subconsciously nced at the seat where Amber was


    sitting, “Did you see Amber eating here too? She’s really something now. She actually became a lover


    of Elliot.”


    Rodney’s gaze swept in the direction of Amber and Elliot. When he saw the charming smile on Amber’s


    face, his chest tightened.


    As his mother was there, he retrieved his gaze as if he hadn’t seen Amber at all. “Mum, what would you


    like to eat?”


    In the past, Rodney always looked at Amber like the apple in his eye. But now, he behaved in such an


    attitude. Rachel was so excited, her son had finally let go of Amber! She could be relief now. Because


    she was so excited, her voice became a little different while replying, “Anything, it’s up to you.”


    Knowing that Amber had actually been divorced, Elliot didn’t sleep well all night after he went back


    yesterday. He was even more depressed when he thought of the fact that the man had cheated on her.


    He wasn’t a gossipy person, but he was very curious about the identity of the man who cheated on her.


    He held back for the whole morning because he didn’t have the nerve to ask. Now it was meal time, the


    Thomson family’s rules forbid talking while eating. So, he also had developed the habit of eating and


    not talking. But today, he finally couldn’t help asking, “Amber, I’m very curious about your ex-husband’s


    identity. Is he also from South City?”


    Amber had long noticed Elliot’s hesitation, but she didn’t expect him to be hesitating on this. She


    replied tly, “No.”


    “Did both of you get married because of love?”


    “You can say so, I guess?”


    Elliot was a little jealous. “Why did he cheat on you?”


    “Does a man need a reason to cheat?” Amber sneered.


    “Why aren’t you willing to mention him? Does he still pains your heart?”


    “There’s only pain when there’s love. I didn’t love him anymore since a long time ago. How is there


    pain?” Amber asked.


    Rodney didn’t expect that Elliot would discuss this topic with Amber. He heard it clearly and his


    expression changed in an instant. This woman actually said that she didn’t love him. She was indeed


    cruel!


    “I’m very curious about his name. Can you tell me?”


    “No.” Amber put down her cutlery. “He’s just an insignificant person. Why do you want to know?”


    “I want to beat him up!” Elliot said frankly. “I’ll beat this heartless man each time I see him!”


    “Speaking like you’re so faithful.” Amber chuckled.


    “I am indeed a yboy, but that is before marriage. I will treat my wife well if I get married.”


    Amber shook her head. “Men always say that before marriage.”


    “I’m not that kind of person, really!” Elliot was a little anxious when he saw that she did not believe him.


    “I can prove it to you.”


    These words sounded like a proposal in Rodney’s ears. He stood up suddenly and walked towards


    Elliot. “Mr. Thomson!”


    Elliot looked up. “Mr. Barron is also here for a meal?” Then, he saw Rachel. When he was a child, he


    had seen Rachel before. Out of courtesy, he got up and walked over. “Hello, Ms. Grant!”


    Rachel nodded with a smile, but her eyes were fixed on Amber. Amber acted as if she didn’t see them


    at all. She leisurely picked up a piece of tissue and wiped her mouth. Her indifferent behaviour made


    Rachel feel extremely upset. “Elliot, who is this?” asked Rachel.


    Elliot looked at Amber and said, “Amber,e over and let me introduce you.”


    Amber stood up and took her bag casually. Instead of walking towards Rachel, she walked toward the


    door and said as she walked, “Elliot, take your time to catch up with your old friends. I’ll wait for you at


    the entrance!”


    This was simply an extremely rude behaviour. Rachel and Rodney’s expression turned unpleasant.


    Elliot also knew that this behaviour was inappropriate. Amber had always been a very tolerant person.


    Why did she treat Rachel like this? He couldn’t figure out the reason. He smiled at Rachel and said,


    “She’s afraid of meeting new people, Ms. Grant. Please don’t me her!”


    Rachel was stunned. If Amber was just an ordinary lover, she wouldn’t have dared to be so arrogant,


    and Elliot would not have been so humble. Rachel immediately felt very unhappy. “It was you who


    asked for it, Amber Stone. Don’t me me,” thought Rachel and then she said to Elliot, “Although our


    families have not been in contact for a long time, as an elder, I have to advise you. Someone like you


    shouldn’t be dating a woman who has been divorced.”


    “Thank you for your reminder, Ms. Grant. But Amber is different from the others. She is gentle and kind,


    it’s just that she had met lousy people.”


    Rodney’s face darkened with anger when he heard that. Rachel did not expect Elliot to reply like this.


    Hence, she swallowed back the ndering words that she wanted to say about Amber.


    Elliot continued to speak for a while before he went after Amber. Seeing that he had disappeared,


    Rachel snorted and said, “See? This is the wife you had before, such poor upbringing. Elliot is really


    blind.”


    After saying that, she realised that she had scolded her son indirectly. So she changed her words and


    said, “Fortunately, you realised your mistakes and took a U-turn. Or else I don’t know how long we’ll be


    tortured by her.”


    Rodney didn’t say a word. He had always thought that Elliot was just ying around, he didn’t expect


    him to have such a high opinion of Amber.


    “Elliot was handsome, dashing, and knew how to coax women….” thought Rodney and his heart


    suddenly felt very ufortable.


    Rachel didn’t know what her son was thinking. “Rodney, when you’re free, do visit the ck family


    more often.”


    “For what?” Rodney asked in return.


    “To enhance your rtionship with Celia and to be on good terms with Channing?” Rachel said


    earnestly, “Rodney, I think the issue regarding the urban construction project should be because


    Channing was unhappy. You and Celia have been dragging on for three years. It has been so long, it’s


    inevitable that he has no thoughts about it.”


    “Isn’t the engagement date already set? What else is there to be dissatisfied with?” Rodney was a little


    impatient.


    Seeing that her son was impatient, Rachel had no choice but to keep quiet grumpily.


    Elliot caught up with Amber at the lift. “What’s going on?”


    “What?” Amber asked as if she didn’t know what he was referring to.


    “You didn’t save me any face just now,” Elliot murmured, “Amber, why did you do that? Let’s put aside


    the fact that Rodney had saved you that night. His mother is an elder. You shouldn’t have left just like


    that. It’s very impolite.”


    “What kind of elder is she?” Amber thought of how Rachel had tortured her in the past, and a trace of


    hatred appeared in her eyes. “That woman’s face irritates me. As for Rodney Barron, do you think he


    genuinely wanted to save me?”


    Looking at Amber sneering, Elliot suddenly remembered the rtionship between Rodney and Celia.


    “Did he save you because he knew you were the daughter of Mr. ck?”


    “I don’t know! You’re the only one who knows about my rtionship with Channing ck.”


    “Is that so?” Elliot frowned. The scene of the fight at Club Cobalt shbacked before him. At that time, it


    seemed that Rodney was holding Amber in his arms. “Amber, do you really not know Rodney?”


    “I know him, but he doesn’t know me.” Amber replied quickly. Elliot frowned slightly as if he had missed


    something.


    The first episode of the blind date reality show was aired, and the audience ratings were very good. On


    the first day, the viewing figures reached 8 million.


    On the next day, discussions about the blind date reality show were all over the social media. The TV


    station’s publicity team was very good at pushing the discussion on Twitter and Instagram. With several


    big shots reposting it, it was hard not to be popr.


    Shannon had nothing to do at home and was watching TV. Switching from channel to channel, she was


    suddenly interested in the rey of the blind date reality show. She was enjoying it very much when


    Celia came downstairs and sat down beside her. “Mum, the boredom is killing me.”


    “Go shopping with someone.” Shannon’s gaze was focused on the TV.


    “That’s meaningless. There are only these many ces in South City, and I’ve already gone to those


    ces before.”


    “Then do some hydrotherapy?”

    “Mum!” Celia was a little unhappy to see that her mother’s attention was not on her. “Can’t you have a


    chat with me? What’s so good about ame TV show?”


    “This TV show is interesting,” Shannon replied.


    Celia took a nce at the TV, and the screen just happened to be disying all the female guests in a


    sweeping motion. She suddenly widened her eyes. “Mum, that person seems to be Amber Stone?”


    “What nonsense are you talking about?” Shannon was stunned.


    “Rewind it! Hurry up and rewind it!” Celia snatched the remote control from Shannon’s hand and


    rewound it back, pausing it at the part Amber was captured. She eximed, “Mum, her name is Amber


    Stone!”


    Shannon didn’t pay much attention to her before this, but when she heard what Celia said, she also


    started to focus on female guest No. 5. Since no one inquired about female guest No. 5, so she didn’t


    pay much attention to her. She only realised that the female guest’s name was indeed Amber Stone


    after her daughter pointed it out.


    Amber went on a blind date? The mother and daughter duo exchanged nces. Shannon reacted first,


    “Would they just have the same name?”


    “We can’t see her face clearly with the mask on, but her figure and facial shape are very simr to


    Amber’s.”


    “It’s not Amber. Look at her, she’s wearing braces. Amber is so beautiful, how would she wear


    something so disgusting?” Shannon denied.


    “Let’s look at her personal information first,” Celia continued to rewind it to the part of female guests’


    self-introduction.


    The written information shows that her name was Amber Stone, 28 years old, and was an ordinary


    employee who once had an unfortunate marriage. She was a mother of a three-year-old child. Due to


    her sufferings from the previous marriage, her standard for a partner was, “A man who is loyal and will


    not lie. Best if there isn’t a mother-inw.”


    Most of Amber’s information was true. She really wanted to find a father for Mel. However, she was


    worried that men would choose her based on her looks, so she purposely put on braces to make


    herself look uglier.


    If someone was willing to choose her in this state, then the man was definitely not one who chose her


    based on her looks. In addition, Mel’s age was false. As for her standard in choosing a partner, that


    was her real thought. As long as the man is loyal and she won’t have a mother-inw, it would be good


    enough. She had enough of Rachel’s temper when she lived with Rodney. She already had a sense of


    phobia towards mother-inws.


    “It shouldn’t be Amber. How could Amber have a three-year-old child?” Shannon finished reading the


    information first. Amber and Rodney had only been divorced for three years. How could the child be


    three years old?


    “But why does she look so identical?” Celia muttered, “Although she wore braces, I still think she looks


    like her. Could it be that the child was adopted?”


    “Alright, let’s stop thinking about this. Whether she is Amber or not has nothing to do with us. If you are


    bored, shall I apany you to somewhere outside?”


    “Mum, I don’t want to go out. I was just thinking if you could ask Dad to call Rodney over for dinner


    tonight.”


    Shannon was very clear about her daughter’s ideas. She sighed and said, “Okay! I’ll call your father


    and tell him.”
