Chapter 186


    “Don’t look at me like that. I thought a lotst night. I basically didn’t sleep allnight. It was my fault that you and Amber ended up like this. In the past, Ialways wanted to find a woman of equal status to you, so my requirementswere inevitably higher. I was also a lot harsher to Amber. In fact, I didn’t havebad intentions. Now I know I was wrong, so I went to apologize to Amber andlet her marry you again.”


    Rodney couldn’t believe that his mother would be so reasonable. “Mom, areyou talking nonsense?”


    “What nonsense? What I said is true. Amber is so pitiful. He has no mother atsuch a young age and has gone through so many hardships. And he also methis mother’s mother-inw who was so unreasonable… What happened in thepast was all my fault. I have figured it out. I will not stop you from being withAmber in the future. You can ask her for help.”


    “Mom, why did you change so much?” Rodney was really too surprised.


    “My child, why do you have so many questions? You were unhappy when Istopped you and Amber in the past, but now I agree to let you be together.Why do you have questions?”


    “I just can’t believe it. Mom, you didn’t change your mind just because youwanted to sleep, did you?”


    “No, don’t worry. Go and beg Amber to turn back. I’m still waiting for mygrandson to call me grandma.”


    “Thank you, mom!” Rodney left home excitedly. Rachel looked at the smile onher son’s face and suddenly realized that this was the first time she had seensuch afortable smile on his face in recent years. She sighed in her heart.


    Why was she so pedantic in the past? If she had figured it out earlier, her sonwould not have had such a bitter face for so many years.


    Rachel and Rodney were in a good mood, but Riya began to feel nervous.


    Because she had asked someone to take care of her, Rachel’s dependenceon her was getting less and less. Today, she didn’t take her with her when shewent out, so she didn’t know why Rachel went out.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    After Rachel came back, she had always wanted to figure it out.


    Coincidentally, Rodney came back. The more she hid aside, the more clearlyshe heard the conversation between Rodney and Rachel. If Rachel went toask Amber and Rodney to reconcile, what about Celia?


    Riya knew why she stayed in the Barron family. No, she had to tell Shannonabout it and let her find a way to deal with it.


    Hearing Riya’s report, Shannon panicked. She immediately called Itzel andasked her to go to Rachel’s ce to find out what made Rachel change hermind and beg Amber.


    Itzel immediately bought some fruits that Rachel liked to eat and went to theBarron family’s house. Rachel was very happy to see her and said, “It’s fineas long as you’re here. Why do you bring things with you every time?”


    As she spoke, she asked Riya to quickly pour tea. Itzel took a sip of tea anddeliberately mentioned Celia. “Celia went to the hospital for a check-up today.


    I heard that everything is very good.”


    “Don’t mention her! It will affect your mood!” Rachel frowned when she heardCelia’s name.


    “What’s the matter? Is it also because of what happenedst time?” Itzelpretended to be a person. “You’re wrong about Celia. I heard that it was a liemade up by Zoe. She ckmailed Celia. Celia ignored her, and she tried toget revenge.”


    “Really? I heard that Zoe’s leg is broken and she lives in the hospital. Why isher leg broken?”


    “What happened this time? Howe I don’t know?” Itzel pretended to besurprised. “Since Zoe didn’t learn well, she must have offended someone.”


    “Don’t you think it’s too coincidental?” Rachel asked, “She just talked aboutCelia’s embarrassing things, but her leg was suddenly broken. It seemed thatsomeone had deliberately taken revenge.”


    “I don’t think it was Celia who did it. As a rich youngdy, she is weak. Howcould she know those people?”


    “She doesn’t know her mother. I heard that her mother had a very goodrtionship with some local ruffians before.” Rachel felt ufortable whenItzel spoke for Celia and her daughter. “Itzel, why did you always speak forCelia?”


    “I didn’t speak for them. I just thought that Celia was weak and didn’t look likethat kind of person.”


    “So she disguised herself well!” Rachel sighed. “I’ve seen so many people inmy life, but I didn’t expect that she would fall into a trap. She’s reallyshameless! Celia and Shannon are not simple people. I was deceived by herfalse image and realized that I didn’t realize it until today. Fortunately, Rodneyhas always insisted. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be looking for trouble if I marriedsuch a disgusting person back home? She’s also the daughter of a mistress,and she’s so vicious. If I really let her marry Rodney, wouldn’t I lead a wolf intomy house?”


    “Do you mean that you don’t intend to let Celia and Rodney be together?”


    “Of course. She’s such a vicious woman. How can I let her in? It’s toote toavoid her.”


    “But she’s pregnant with Rodney’s child?” Itzel reminded him.


    “Speaking of the child, I have something to tell you. You know that Rodneyhas never liked Celia. Whether she is pregnant or not, he doesn’t like her.


    This time, Rodney has always been tough to let her have the child. I was dizzyand forced Rodney to not dare to do anything. Now, think about it. If the childis left behind, it will be a disaster. I already have two grandchildren. It’s not likeI can’t have any grandchildren in the future. There are plenty of opportunitiesto have grandchildren. Why do I have to have a baby with such a viciouswoman? I can’t keep the baby in Celia’s belly, which will affect the rtionshipbetween Rodney and Amber.”


    Itzel didn’t expect that Rachel would change so much. For a moment, she hadno idea. “But Celia has a problem with her health now. She can’t lose herbaby. If she does, she can’t give birth to a baby.”


    “That’s a problem.” Rachel sighed. “Why do you think this Celia is soshameless as to insist on having Rodney’s child? She clearly knows thatRodney doesn’t like her. Why does she have to give birth to a child forRodney?”


    “She likes Rodney, doesn’t she?”


    “No! I don’t believe that she loves Rodney. If Rodney is poor, would shechoose to be with him? Amber is different. When she was pregnant, she didn’tchoose to stay. Instead, she chose to give birth to the child and raise it alone.


    How ambitious do you think she is? So Amber and Rodney are suitable foreach other. No matter how poor and rich Rodney is, she can fight withRodney.”


    Hearing Rachel praise Amber and Itzel, she was really upset. In the past, shehad been at a disadvantagepared to Ashley, but now her daughter was ata disadvantagepared to Ashley’s daughter. How could she be angry?


    However, it was not the time to be angry. They had to see how Rachel wasgoing to deal with Celia. “Now that Celia’s child can’t be removed, how areyou going to deal with her?”


    “What else can we do? She must give birth to the child, and then let her givebirth, but she can’t talk about the child. Anyway, I won’t be fooled, and Rodneywon’t be fooled either.”


    “What if she asks you for children?”


    “I don’t have the money to give her. I have to make it clear to her and find wyer to make an agreement. She is willing to give birth to the child, and ithas nothing to do with us. Either we give birth to the child and raise it for us,we don’t want her to give us any money, or we can get rid of the child.


    Anyway, if we don’t listen to us and give birth to the child, we won’t give her apenny.”


    Itzel didn’t expect Rachel to say something like that. Rachel’s ruthlessness toAmber had been reced by Celia’s. Itzel hated her in her heart, but she wasafraid that Rachel would suspect her, so she didn’t dare to say good words forCelia, so she had to leave.


    Itzel didn’t feel good about leaving the Barron family. Although she used tothink that Rachel was good at changing things, she had never been targetedat others.


    Rachel’s change of mind at this time was a big blow to them. If Celia was notpregnant, and if Celia’s health was fine, they could take a step back now. Butnow they had no way back.


    Celia had to give birth to this child, and she had to be recognized by Rodney.


    However, Itzel was very clear about Rachel’s personality. When she likedsomeone, she liked him unconditionally, and when she hated someone, shealso hated him unconditionally.


    Because she knew this characteristic of hers well, she had never forgotten tobelittle Amber and raise Celia. Therefore, Rachel hated Amber so much thatshe had never changed her mind.


    Itzel never dreamed that the trick she had used to deal with Amber would beused on Celia. What should she do now?


    She had to discuss it with Shannon and find a way to deal with it as soon aspossible.


    Shannon did not have a good time these days. After she was sent to thepolice station by Rodney, the police interrogated her again and made aspecial confession.


    Because Channing had a special case of Casen, after the interrogation,people in the police station called Channing to report this matter to him.


    When Channing heard that the person who framed Amber was caught, heimmediately went to the police station in person. After reading theinterrogation report, Channing’s expression began to be abnormal.


    The person who had instructed Casen to deal with Amber was Little Nine, theleader of the local ruffians in Little Parkview Street? Little Nine and Amber hadnever known each other before, so how could she have thought of dealingwith Amber?


    ke was definitely not the real mastermind behind the scenes. There mustbe someone else behind the scenes, but who could it be?


    Amber was kind and never made trouble. Channing was sure that Amberwould not offend anyone. So who wanted to hurt Amber?


    When he heard that Casen was sent here by Rodney, Channing went to seehim and asked him what he thought about this matter. Rodney smiled faintlyand said, “Didn’t Casen say that it was ke who ordered it? Since someonehas been confessed, let’s wait until the police catch ke.”


    “Do you think that the mastermind is ke?” Channing asked.


    “Or what?” Rodney smiled politely, but the smile did not reach the bottom ofhis eyes. What did Channing want to ask him about? To find out the truth, orto find out who was behind this.


    Rodney used to have some respect for Channing, but recently, he despisedhim very much. He slept with his wife’s best friend, made a mistress, and lefthis own daughter outside for so many years. Was this a human thing?


    He didn’t believe that Channing was sincerely helping Amber. To Channing,his ck cap was more important than anything else. If he knew that it wasShannon who dealt with Amber, he might not really want to help Amber. Onthe contrary, he would find a way to suppress this matter because of hisreputation and reputation. What Rodney needed to do now was not to letShannon get away with it, but to let Shannon get the punishment shedeserved.


    “I don’t think it’s that simple. ke is just a gangster who has no grudge withAmber. How could she think of harming Amber? There must be someonebehind this.” Channing had just told Rodney about his worries. “I suspect thatthere are other people behind this.”


    “Who are you suspecting?” Rodney asked in reply.


    “I…” Channing had just suspected that the person was Shannon. Shannonwas from Parkview Street, so she naturally knew ke and the others.


    However, there was no evidence. Besides, Shannon was his wife. Howembarrassing would it be to say that this wife schemed against his daughter?


    Channing suddenly realized one thing. If this matter was found out to be true,it would have a bad impact on him. His reputation would definitely be ruined,and there would be no hope for him to improve his reputation.


    Channing swallowed back his words. This matter couldn’t be exposed. He hadto investigate it slowly. If it was Shannon who rushed him, he would have athousand ways to kill her.


    Seeing that Channing was hesitating, a look of mockery appeared in Rodney’seyes. This Channing was just as bad as he thought. Fortunately, he hadalready fallen into a trap.
