Chapter 49


    Amber didn’t go back to the restaurant, but left directly. She called Elliot in the taxi and said that there


    was something urgent at home.


    Elliot gnashed his teeth. “Amber, the bonus for this month is half as much!”


    Lily was happy to hear that. This special assistant was really sensible. Without a third wheel, it was a


    good word. She leaned towards Elliot and asked, “Dear, where are we going?”


    Elliot smiled very gently. “I’ll send you back to the hotel first.”


    This “first” meant that he still had something to do. Lily was a little disappointed. Did she really go too


    far?


    Thest time she stayed for a day and left, she thought that Elliot would call her countless times a day


    like before, but the result disappointed her a lot.


    Elliot didn’t even make a phone call. She realized that something was wrong, so she took the initiative


    to call him. It was obviously Club Cobalt, but he told her very gently that he was very busy now and had


    no spare time.


    After that, she made a phone call, but no one answered. Lily noticed that there was a problem, but her


    schedule was full. She really had no way to go back to South City to meet Elliot.


    This matter continued to drag on. It was not easy for Barron Enterprises to get her to film an


    advertisement in South City. She happily called Elliot, but she could not get through.


    Hence, she had no choice but to call Amber to get some information. To her surprise, Amber had


    booked a hotel for her. When she saw Elliot pick her up at the airport, she was overjoyed. She


    reminded herself in her heart that she could not go overboard this time, but she did not want to. Elliot


    had no interest at all.


    After sending Lily back to the hotel, Elliot left without stopping. Lily was annoyed and sat alone on the


    sofa, feeling angry.


    Elliot left the hotel and drove straight to the tube-shaped apartment. He parked the car at the entrance


    of the alley and took out his phone to dial.


    Amber had only been home for a few minutes when he received a call from Elliot. He was very upset.


    She controlled her emotions and asked, “President Mr. Thomson, what’s the matter?”


    “I’m at the alley entrance of your house. Come out!” Elliot ordered.


    Amber ran to the entrance of the alley angrily. “What’s the matter?”


    “Nothing. I just came to tell you that I didn’t go to the hotel.”


    Seeing that Amber looked at him inexplicably, he exined, “I just want you to know that I’m no longer


    a casual man.”


    “You’re crazy!” Amber said and turned to run. Although it waste Club Cobalt, Elliot still saw the red


    clouds floating on her face. He was very happy. Seeing Amber’s figure disappear, he whistled and


    started the car to leave.


    When Amber returned home, she felt her face burning. “Elliot is really a lunatic. He came all the way


    here to talk about this. Does he have anything to do with me?”


    No! He must have misunderstood that she was interested in him. She had to make it clear to him that


    she didn’t have any thoughts about him. Amber picked up the phone and was about to call Elliot.


    The phone rang first, and Pierce’s deep voice sounded. “Amber, Mel and I will be on the ne


    tomorrow. Remember to pick us up!”


    “So fast?” Amber was stunned.


    “I have something else to deal with, so I came back early!” Pierce exined.


    Because of Pierce’s call, Amber became excited and no longer had the mood to care about Elliot. Her


    little baby wasing back, so she had to get ready. She walked around the room and found nothing


    to prepare, so she sat down in low spirits. Her baby was used to the excellent material life in Pierce’s


    city. Would she dislike this small and broken family?


    Amber spent the night worrying and happy. The next day at noon, she rushed to the airport with


    Ashton. When she saw her mother Mel, she was so happy that she threw herself into Amber’s arms


    and kept rubbing against it. Ashton was very happy. “This is Mel, isn’t it? Come and let me have a


    look.”


    Mel got out of Amber’s arms and called Ashton “uncle”. Ashton hugged him and kissed him hard. Mel


    laughed because of his beard.


    “Pierce, thank you for your hard work!” Amber stepped forward and held Pierce’s hand gratefully.


    The dinner was held in the best private club in South City. As a guest invited by Pierce, Mel looked


    around with interest.


    He also opened the door of the private room to look outside. Ashton had finished his meal and followed


    Mel outside. On the wall of the club’s corridor, there were many good-lookingmps. Mel pointed at the


    lights and carefully counted them. Ashton followed closely behind him, afraid that he would be lost.


    A few screens appeared in front of them along the long aisle. Seeing the image of an official girl on the


    screens, Lele reached out curiously to touch them. Later, she and Ashton shuttled between the screens


    to and fro.


    Rodney, apanied by Deon, strode over. Mel suddenly came out from behind the screen and


    bumped into him. Mel suddenly fell to the ground and burst into tears.


    Rodney stretched out his hand and was about to help when Ashton rushed out in front of him and held


    Mel in his arms. When he saw Ashton, he was shocked. “Why are you here?”


    Ashton ignored him and turned around to leave with Mel in his arms. He saw that Ashton knew that


    Amber must be there as well. He was very curious about who Amber would bring Ashton here to eat


    with.


    Ashton rushed into the room with Mel in his arms. Mel was still sobbing. Amber was confused. “What


    happened?”


    “I met someone I shouldn’t have met,” replied Ashton.


    Amber naturally understood who it was that he shouldn’t have met. His expression immediately


    changed. “Did he see Mel?”


    “I didn’t see it clearly.”


    “Don’t worry. It’s said that boys are like mothers. Mel looks more like you. He doesn’t care.” Pierce


    comforted her.


    Amber nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. He had to be careful in the future.


    Although Rodney was eating on behalf of thepany, he had been thinking about Amber in his heart.


    Who was she eating with here?


    This club was the highest-ss club in South City. It was a symbol of identity and money. How could


    Amber bring Ashton here? Who did theye with?


    Could it be Elliot? The only person who wanted to see Amber was Elliot. He must have invited Amber


    and Ashton here in order to please them. But who was the child?


    Rodney was absent-minded, and the guests were not fools. They sensibly said goodbye to him. Mu


    Rodney saw a familiar figure outside the club.


    Amber stood gracefully at the door, dressed in a floral skirt. A tall and straight figure stood beside her.


    With his back, Rodney recognized that the person standing beside Amber was Pierce.


    Amber had a gentle and charming smile on his face. His big eyes were focused on Pierce, who also


    had a gentle and doting look on his face.


    A pair of handsome men and beautiful women looked so eye-catching. The waiter of the club said, “It’s


    the first time that I’ve seen such a perfect match!”


    The words “Golden Child and Jade Lady” made Rodney feel so painful that he could not bear it. He


    strode out without looking sideways. Deon ran after him and opened the door for him. After getting in


    the car, Rodney said with a poker face, “When did hee back?”


    “I came back today,” Deon replied.


    “Do you know why he’s back?”


    “I don’t know.”


    “You’re just having a free meal, aren’t you?” Rodney’s voice was filled with anger.


    Deon didn’t say anything. He had been following Rodney for so many years and knew why he was


    angry. If it were him, he would definitely feel ufortable. After all, one of them was a deeply loved


    woman, and the other was a rival in love.


    When Deon started the car, Rodney nced at the entrance of the club again. Seeing Amber waving


    goodbye to Pierce, he felt a little better.


    After Amber left, Pierce returned to the hotel. Not many people knocked on the door. He opened the


    door, and Elliot stood at the door with his hands on his hips. “Pierce, you are so mean. Why didn’t you


    tell me when you came back?”

    “I wanted to tell you, but you have always valued your lover more than your friend. With a beautiful girl


    in your arms, how could you think of an old friend like me?”


    “What beauty in your arms?” Elliot leaned against the sofa. “I’m a vegetarian now.”


    “Come on? What happened to Lily?” Pierce was very straightforward. “I heard that she flew to the


    South City yesterday, and you didn’t even go to thepany.”


    “Who said that?”


    “Don’t worry about who said it. Just tell me if you apanied Lily all day today.”


    “Yes!”


    “That’s right.” Pierce snorted. “When you see beautiful women, your legs are weak. You can’t change


    your character.”


    “Pierce, when ites to this matter, I want to settle it with you.” Elliot said aggressively, “Tell me, why


    did you send such a beautiful woman to me?”


    “It’s none of my business!” Pierce blocked Elliot’s way lightly.


    “If it weren’t for you being so sinister, would I have had such a headache?” Elliot let out a long sigh.


    “What’s wrong? Miss Lily, are you still holding it?”


    “She does want to, but I am not interested in her now. This woman is really a strange animal. When I


    was interested in her in the past, she yed tricks on me. Now I am not interested in her. She tried all


    means to stay with me, but unfortunately, it was toote!”


    “Who do you like?”


    “Do you need to ask?”


    “Elliot, let me put the ugly thing in front of me. Amber is not someone you can touch!”
