Chapter 144


    Although he was surprised that Kelsey had resigned and gone abroad to further her studies, Rodney


    did not stop her. He readily agreed to Kelsey’s resignation and even asked the financial department to


    add a few more months of sry to Kelsey’s sry.


    When they returned to the Scent Vi in the evening, Amber was talking to Mel on the phone. Mel said


    that she missed her mother and asked Amber when he would go to see him. Amber replied that he


    would go to see him in a few days.


    When he saw that Amber hade back and hung up the phone in a hurry, he went up to her and


    pulled her to sit on the sofa. “Amber, uncle asked me to meet you today.”


    “Why is he looking for you?” Amber asked. Channing had just gone to find Rodney, but her intuition told


    her that there was nothing good going on.


    “Uncle, give me this thing.” Rodney showed Amber the painting that Channing had just given him.


    Amber opened the painting and looked at it before putting it down. She didn’t know how to draw, but


    she guessed that it should be the ancient painting that Channing had just said, which was worth more


    than 100 million dors. “Why did he give this to you?”


    “He said that this is a dowry, a dowry for you and me.” Rodney had no intention of asking for


    Channing’s things, but when he saw that Channing was determined to write something like a loan


    agreement, he thought that Amber would have a share of Channing’s things after a hundred years, so


    he simply proposed the issue of the dowry and brought it back to Amber.


    Amber did not expect that Channing would give the ancient painting to Rodney as a dowry. One of the


    reasons why she came back to recognize Channing was for this painting. Channing had tried his best


    to make excuses before, but now he was so generous. It was really strange. Thinking about it, Rodney


    reached out to hold her hand. “Amber, let’s get married!”


    “Get married?” Amber asked. Although Rodney had mentioned marriage several times, it was the first


    time he had mentioned it like this. She was a little surprised.


    “Yes, we’re married.” Rodney looked deeply into her eyes. “Amber, I’ve been thinking about it for a long


    time, but I never dared to mention it to you. I know that I’ve hurt you too much, so I’m too ashamed to


    say that. But I really want to take care of you and your child. Amber, promise me!”


    “Rodney, it’s not just two people getting married. Do you understand?”


    “I understand. I will handle my mother’s matters well. Don’t worry, something like that won’t happen in


    the past.” Rodney promised.


    “It’s not just your mother. I have a child…”


    “Don’t worry. I like Mel very much. I will definitely treat him like my own child.”


    Amber was silent. Mel was originally Rodney’s child. She was not worried that Rodney would do


    something bad to Mel. But now, it was not Mel’s problem that was in front of her. It was not worth


    believing that Rodney was worth it.


    Thinking of Kelseying to reason with him rationally, Amber felt a little cold. In the past, he clearly


    knew that there was Celia around Rodney, who was eyeing him covetously, but she didn’t guard


    against him at all. As a result, she couldn’t ept it after the ident.


    At that time, she was tired of dealing with Celia. But now, Rodney was no longer the young and


    immature Rodney. He was a tycoon in the business world. There was a row of women who coveted


    him outside. Amber would no longer put himself in such an awkward situation.


    In addition to the woman beside Rodney, he also had a difficult mother. These were all facts in front of


    her and Rodney. However, Rodney was Mel’s biological father. Giving Mel aplete home had


    always been her dream. Amber was really in a dilemma. Seeing that Rodney was still waiting for her


    answer, she had to say, “You’d better think about it again!”


    “I’ve already thought it through very clearly. Amber, promise me!” Rodney begged. “I really won’t let you


    down again!”


    Amber did not believe in the so-called guarantee at all, but Noemi also said that it was not a problem of


    a child now. If she could sessfully get pregnant, she would have to face the problem of two children.


    It was impossible for her to remain single for the rest of her life. She had to get married and find a


    father for her child. Without a doubt, Rodney was the most suitable candidate. She might be able to


    give it a try, but he wasn’t that bad. After a moment of silence, she nodded.


    Rodney was so happy that he picked her up and carried her into the room to rotate. A few years ago,


    when she promised him that she would propose, he also carried her in his arms and spun in the room.


    Thinking of the past, Amber felt sad. He hoped that the result this time would not be the same as


    before.


    Since she was engaged to Elliot, Breanna came to chat with Lannie every day to relieve her boredom.


    At first, Lannie was very nice to her, butter she gradually changed.


    It was not as intimate as before, but a little alienated. After thinking about it for a while, Breanna did not


    find that she had done anything wrong. But why did Lannie suddenly change her attitude?


    On this day, she brought gifts to visit Lannie. Lannie sighed and said, “Breanna, don’te here with


    me in the future.”


    “Auntie, do you hate me?”


    “No, you are so obedient and sensible. How can I hate you? It’s just that you are so young and should


    y with a girl about your age. There is no need to face an old woman like me all day.”


    “It’s good that you don’t hate me.” Breanna looked relieved. “Auntie, you don’t seem to be very happy


    these days. What happened?”


    “Nothing happened. I’m just a little annoyed.”


    “Is that so? Why don’t you tell me your worries? They say that there is something wrong with your


    worries. If you tell me, you will definitely be in a good mood.”


    Lannie looked at her beautiful face and sighed. Her worries were all because of her son. After her son


    came back that day and said something like that, she had always felt uneasy. She was poor enough in


    this life. Breanna was so young. Should she follow her footsteps?


    In the past few days, she had been thinking about it over and over again in her heart, especially when


    Breanna, who was so sensible, came to see her every day. She felt even more upset. She really liked


    this girl, so she wanted to keep her by her side. But now she found that she was wrong. What she did


    might hurt her.


    “Breanna, did you make a three-year promise with Elliot?”


    “Auntie, you know that too?”


    “I’m sorry. I’m the one who harmed you.”


    “Why do you say that?” Breanna was surprised.


    “Elliot’s temper is the same as his father’s. Do you understand?” Lannie smiled bitterly. “He won’t give


    up even if he dies if he falls in love with someone. He didn’t forget Amber at all. It’s unfair to you. You’re


    still young and have plenty of choices. Don’t hang yourself on a tree.”


    This meant that she should give up Elliot. It took Breanna a lot of effort to stand beside Elliot, so she


    wouldn’t listen to his advice. “Auntie, I love Elliot and I’m willing to stay with him for the rest of my life.


    Even if he doesn’t love me, I’m willing to do it.”


    “Breanna, you don’t understand what I mean. I am worried that my current life is what you will look like


    in the future. Do you understand?”


    Breanna did not understand. She was so beautiful and had so many tricks up her sleeve. She did not


    believe that Elliot would not be able to see her good for the rest of his life.


    Lannie had no choice but to exin it in detail. “Back then, I loved Reece as much as you did. If he


    were dead, I would marry him. At that time, I thought the same. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t love me.


    It’s good that I love him. I will definitely melt him with my heart and let him see me falling in love with


    him slowly. But what happened?”


    Lannie’s face was bitter. “Even if I marry him, even if I give birth to children for him, he doesn’t care


    about me at all. I’ve been married to Reece since I was in my twenties. I’ve wasted so many years of


    my youth. What do you think I’ve got? The greenmp, the ancient Buddha, is the same as cultivation.


    Breanna, are you willing to live like this?”


    Of course, Breanna did not want to live like this, but she was not scared away. She also knew


    something about Reece and Lannie. Lannie was too weak and kind, and her weakness and kindness


    were just superficial.


    Reece had a good reputation before marriage, but Elliot was different. He was a famous yboy who


    had slept with countless women. She didn’t believe that Elliot could bear it.


    The most important thing was that Breanna thought that Lannie was not sure of the opportunity. After


    she and Reece got married, Reece had stayed with her for several years. It was because Lannie had


    no ability to keep a man.


    Breanna and Lannie were not on the same level at all. If she was given a chance to let Elliot get along


    with her day and night, she would definitely have a way to make him fall in love with her.


    Even if he fell in love with her body!

    Seeing that she was stubborn, Lannie had to sigh and give up persuading her. She really couldn’t say


    anything about what had happened between her and Reece.


    Since she and Reece got married, Reece had only touched her once. It was in a situation that neither


    of them could control themselves before marriage. Later, although they got married and lived in


    separate rooms, she had lived alone for so many years. The sadness and pain in her heart could not


    be expressed in words to outsiders.


    Breanna chatted with Lannie for a while before taking her leave and returning home. Ever since she


    had plotted against Amber, the olddy no longer liked her as much as before. She looked at her with


    vignce and vignce.


    It was really a big deal for Breanna to regain her image of having worked so hard for so many years.


    Fortunately, the olddy gave her some face. She didn’t tell Pierce about it, but he still treated her as


    usual.


    Although the olddy had retired from the second rank, she had one-third of the Hammond family’s


    shares in her hands and still kept her word in the Hammond family. Breanna knew that the olddy


    would no longer treat her as before, but she could not let go of the olddy. Her father was not the best


    in the Hammond family. If it were not for the olddy and Pierce who liked her, she would have been


    pushed aside.


    Although the Old Madam didn’t like her now, she didn’t show it to others. Therefore, in the eyes of


    others, she was the Old Madam’s favorite granddaughter. In order to maintain this illusion, even if the


    Old Madam didn’t like her anymore, she had to walk around in front of her.


    Breanna deliberately went to buy the snacks that the olddy liked to eat. When she entered the


    Hammond family mansion, she saw that Pierce’s car was parked at the door. Breanna entered the


    living room. The olddy’s servants saw her and greeted her. “Big Master is here. He’s talking to the


    olddy in the study.”


    The implication was that she should not disturb them. Breanna was not satisfied at all. She smiled and


    said, “Don’t worry. I won’t disturb them.”


    She was so direct that the old madam’s servants were embarrassed, so she left. Breanna packed her


    snacks into a te and went to the study.
