Chapter 286 Once Upon a Time in the Gardner family
Thinking about those men, Makenna pinched her phone tightly and squeezed words between her teeth,
"You found those men who bullied me. You must give them to me."
She wanted to end their lives in person.
Elias leaned against the back of his seat. "I can''t. After you were on the news, those men realized you
were not Amber Reed, so they ran away. They were afraid we would avenge."
"What? Ran away?" Makenna eximed harshly.
Elias spun the scalpel casually. "Yep. I''m looking for them as well. It''s been two days, but I have no
clue."
"Shit!" Makenna was furious.
How was she gonna avenge if those men had run away?
However, thinking about Amber, she had an idea.
Since they ran away, Makenna didn''t mind venting her anger on Amber.
"Elias, you must keep looking for those men. Keep me updated if you have any clue," Makenna
ordered in anger.
Elias pushed his sses and answered, "Okay."
After finishing the conversation, Makenna put down her phone and tabbed to browse all the social
media tforms, reading her news.
Seeing the negativements and the unkind mockery, she wished to find out all thoseizens in
real life and kill them.
However, she looked much better after reading thements in the recent two days.
Thosements were defending her. Theizens believed that she was a victim.
Hence, she decided to stick to being the victim.
As she thought, Makenna dialed a phone number. "Hello, is this Sona Media? This is Makenna
Gardner..."
On the other side, Hayden called Amber out. They arrived at a quiet coffee shop.
Amber yawned, looking at him in anger. "What is wrong with you, Hayden? Why did you call me out so
Hayden giggled. "I''m sorry, Amber. I do have something to talk to you about."
"What is it?" Amber stirred the milk, picked it up, and took a sip.
Hayden looked solemn. "I let the fake Maka show up in front of the Gardner couple."
Upon hearing it, Amber paused when drinking the milk.
Soon, she returned to normal and put down the milk. She asked, "How is it going then?"
"Quite smoothly. The Gardner couple is watching Makenna Gardner in the hospital. I let the fake
Maka go there to find them directly. ording to my spy, Mrs. Gardner has believed she is the real
Maka. However, Trenton Gardner is still rational. Although he was excited, he insisted on doing the
paternity test with her," Hayden took a sip of his coffee and answered.
"It seems the Gardner couple truly love their eldest daughter," Amber said while ying with the straw.
If not, why would Mrs. Gardner be so eager to recognize her daughter?
Even Trenton was excited.
Thinking of that, Amber had a weird feeling, but she couldn''t tell what it was.
However, she didn''t keep on wondering about it. She suppressed the weir feeling soon.
Hayden answered with a shrug, "Of course, they do. After all, Maka Gardner is their only biological
daughter. Makenna was adopted tofort Mrs. Gardner."
"Tofort her?" Amber was confused. "What do you mean?"
"I didn''t find it out until a few days ago. More than twenty years ago, Mrs. Gardner saw Maka be
drowned in person, and she had a mental disorder. Whenever she saw a baby the same age as
Maka, she thought it was her daughter and wanted to snatch it. Or, she was holding a pillow in her
arms every day as if it was her daughter," said Hayden.
Amber widened her eyes in surprise. "For real?"
"Yep." Hayden nodded.
Amber sighed. "Mrs. Gardner doesn''t look like a person with mental disorder."
"She''s recovered already. More than twenty years ago, tofort her, Trenton adopted a recement
of Maka from an orphanage. That was Makenna. To make her look more like Maka, Trenton put
some unique marks on Makenna, such as a birthmark that took after Maka''s," Hayden said while
drinking the coffee.
Amber nodded. "I see. Trenton must love his wife a lot."
"They used to be the childhood sweethearts, so they loved each other a lot. However, the most
important reason was that, besides Mrs. Gardner, no other woman would want to marry him," said
Hayden with a gloating smile.
Amber became interested. "Oh? Is there something wrong with Trenton?"
"Bingo!" Hayden clicked his fingers. "My Amber is such a smart girl."
Amber rolled her eyes at him. "Knock it off. I''m serious. What is it?"
Haydenughed out. "All right. I''m serious, too."
As he spoke, he coughed to clear his throat and continued, "Trenton has necrospermia. I put a great
effort into digging this out. It was already a miracle that Mrs. Gardner could give birth to Maka for
him. Maka is also his only child in this life. Hence, he purchased a customized ne for his
daughter when she was born."
Upon hearing it, Amber raised her chin in a trance. "No wonder that even though Trenton treasures the
Trident Group so much and he knew Makenna wasn''t talented in business, he still didn''t want another
child."

"Isn''t it incredible?" Hayden smiled.
Amber hummed. "Indeed. However, it''s not important. The most important is if the paternity test you''ve
arranged is reliable."
"No worries. I used some privilege to make it done. Whoever uses the hair of the fake Maka and the
Gardner couple for the test, the result would show they were her parents. Of course, it only worked in
all the testing institutes of Olkmore City. It won''t work if they do it out of town," Hayden spread out his
hands.
After all, the Cohen family''s power stayed in Olkmore City.
Also, they couldn''t meddle in the businesses in other cities. Otherwise, they would end up like the
Gand family.
"That''s good, then." Seeing that Hayden was so affirmative, Amber breathed a sigh of relief.
She gathered that it wasn''t very likely for them they to go to another city for the paternity test.
They didn''t leave the coffee shop until two hourster.
Hayden sent Amber back to Kelsington Bay. "Jayden always wanted to visit you. I''ll take him with me
next time."
Amber nodded with a smile. "Sure. I also miss Jayden a lot."
A light shed through Hayden''s eyes. "That''s a deal, then."
Perfect. He had another excuse to meet her next time.
"Ehn." Amber nodded.
"It''s gettingte now. Hurry up and go home. I must go now. Good night." Hayden waved his hand,
pressed up the car window, and drove away.
Amber stood motionlessly to watch him. When his car vanished in her sight, she turned around to enter
the apartment building.
When she turned around, she heard a familiar male voice. "Amber."
Amber stopped her pace and looked in the direction of the voice.
Around ten yards from her, a car''s door was opened. Jared got down and strode to her.
Amber frowned.
She didn''t expect him to drive such an ordinary car.
No wonder she hadn''t noticed him earlier.
Jared stopped in front of her. Looking at her, he asked in a deep tone, "Where have you and Hayden
been earlier?"
