Chapter 152 Betrayal
What else could he do? He could only dote on her because he liked her!
Afterughing for a while, Amber let out a long sigh and slowly stopped.
She then took out a handkerchief from her pocket and said, "Here, wipe your face."
"I just repaired the car and my hands are too dirty. You''d better wipe it for me, baby." Cole said with his
eyes full of expectation.
Amber rolled her eyes at him, but still raised her hand to wipe his face.
Cole closed his eyes and enjoyed it. "You are so nice."
"Oh,e on." Amber chuckled.
Not far away, Jared saw the scene and clenched his fists with a gloomy look on his face.
Makenna felt that something was wrong with him. Her eyes showed her jealousy and hatred.
"Jared, Miss Reed and Mr. Lyon really love each other." Makenna said with a smile.
Jared withdrew his gaze, and looked down to hide the coldness in his eyes. He said lightly, "Let''s go."
He was afraid that if he didn''t leave, he would lose control and rush to pull Cole away.
But he did not know why he had such an idea.
Makenna nodded. "Alright."
The group of seven got into three cars and left.
Amber and Cole arrived at the Lyon''s house.
As soon as Amber entered, Mrs. Lyon took Amber''s hand affectionately. "Amber, how were you these
weekend?"
"I was very happy." Amber took the fruit bowl Mrs. Lyon handed to her and answered with a smile.
"I''m d to hear you had a good time. Did anything special happen?"
"Anything special?" Amber blinked in confusion. "Auntie, what do you mean?"
Mrs. Lyon''s smile gradually stiffened. "For example, did you fall into a pit or get locked in a room?
Things like that."
"No. Nothing like that happened." Amber shook her head. "Auntie, why do you think we would
encounter these?"
Mrs. Lyon evaded making eye contact with Amber. She waved her hand andughed. "I was just
guessing. I watched TV and saw the couple going on vacation. And it was very easy for them to
encounter such a thing. That''s why I asked if anything unusual happened."
Amber nodded in realization and then smiled. "Don''t worry, Auntie. That''s just drama. TV shows aren''t
the reality."
"That''s true." Mrs. Lyon smiled and then stood up. "Amber, have a seat. I''ll go upstairs to get
something."
"Okay." Amber answered.
Mrs. Lyon walked to Cole''s room.
Cole had just taken a shower. After getting dressed, he came out of the bathroom and restored his
usual dandy style. Before he could admire himself in the mirror, he saw Mrs. Lyon open the door and
Cole quickly stopped posing and stared at Mrs. Lyon. "Mom, what are you doing here?"
"Let me ask you, have you made any progress on your date with Amber these two days?" Mrs. Lyon
asked.
Cole''s eyes dimmed for a second, and then he curled his lips. "Nothing happened. It was not a date at
all."
Several people gathered together. That was a group trip.
"It was not a date?" Mrs. Lyon nced at him from the corner of her eyes. "There are so many facilities
in your Uncle Ruben''s racing club. It''s a perfect ce for a date. Why wasn''t it a date? To boost the
rtionship between you and Amber, I even asked someone to arrange something over there. Who
would have thought that you would be so useless that you didn''t encounter any one of them?"

"Arrange something. What do you mean, Mom?" Cole looked at Mrs. Lyon in surprise.
Mrs. Lyon rolled her eyes at him and replied, "I asked someone to dig a hole in the golf course. I
thought that when you fell into the hole, you would have close contact with each other. And I asked
someone to break the door lock of the bedroom on the third floor, so that you could take the opportunity
when you two are locked in there. After all, it''s easiest for a man and a woman to get more intimate in
that situation. But you…”
Mrs. Lyon was so frustrated. "You didn''t encounter any of those. All my efforts are in vain."
Cole was embarrassed. "Mom, I can''t believe you''ve taken all the troubles to..."
"How can I not worry about you and Amber?" Mrs. Lyon sighed and sat down beside his bed.
Cole scratched his hair. "Why didn''t you tell me this earlier? We didn''t go to y golf at all, nor did we
live in the bedroom on the third floor. We lived in the guest rooms, so your tricks wouldn''t work."
"How did I tell you? I know you. If I told you, you would definitely expose yourself and Amber would find
out." Mrs. Lyon snapped.
Cole shrugged his shoulders.
Mrs. Lyon stood up and said, "Forget it. It seems that I have to find another chance to have you two get
closer. All right, dry your hair ande down for dinner."
"Got it." Cole nodded.
Mrs. Lyon left the room and went downstairs.
After lunch, Amber left and returned to Kelsington Bay.
She hadn''t been back for two days, and there are already some ashes in the apartment.
Amber tied up her hair and put on an apron. After cleaning the apartment briefly, she went to her study
and was ready to perfect her proposal for the new energy technology project, which she would hand
over the next day.
After she finished the proposal, she sent it to several experts for review and advice, and they all replied
that it was good enough.
Thus, she was very confident about the result.
Amber was busy till night. She didn''t stop until she knew it was dark and she was hungry.
"It''s almost eight o''clock." Amber looked at her phone and stretched herself. She opened the drawer
and was about to put away the proposal.
Suddenly, she saw the key in the drawer. It was the one that Lady Georgia gave her at the hospital.
Grandma said that there was something very important in the Reed family that she had to look for it.
That thing was rted to a big secret.
It seemed that she had to find some time to go back.
Amber put the key back and started to ponder.
The next day, Amber arrived at Goldstone.
She walked behind her and reported, "Ms. Reed, you haven''t been here for the past two days.
Bernardo has roped in some people who originally supported you."
Amber was not surprised to hear that.
Bernardo wanted to drive her out of the management team. He just wanted her to be a shareholder
who does not have much power in thepany, so he took the advantage of her absence to poach her
people.
Actually, she would find it strange if Bernardo had not done that.
"It''s fine. It''s a good thing that those people left, or else we might be betrayed at the critical moment in
the future. But since they have chosen Bernardo, the benefits I''ve offered them will be taken back
ordingly."
She sneered and continued, "Write a statement to announce the mistakes those people have made
and kick them off their original positions. Surely you know how that works, right? And find new people
to fill up."
"But what if Bernardo wants to protect them?" She asked worriedly.
Amber curled her lips. "Tell Bernardo directly that if he dares protect them, I will sell part of my shares
and bring in another opponent topete with him for the power to manage Goldstone."
"Got it. I''ll do it now." She nodded excitedly.
Amber opened the office door and went in to deal with the documents that had been piled up for the
past two days.
During the process, She informed the meeting.
Amber put away the documents in front of her and got up. She left the office, and walked to the
conference room.
Outside the conference room, she met Bernardoing from the other side.
Bernardo''s face was very pale. "I really didn''t expect you to be so bold. In order to stop me, you could
even sell your shares."
He had originally thought that Amber would be able to do nothing other than be furious when she
returned. Even if she wanted to dismiss those senior executives, him would protect them and she could
do nothing about it.
However, she once again surprised him. She could go as far as giving up her own shares just to stop
him. In order not to have one more enemy, he had to give up. He was really infuriated that those high-
level officials he just drew to his side got dismissed.
