Chapter 159 The Secret 20 Years ago
In fact, he had heard Amber say that she didn''t love him, but he had not taken it seriously, regarding
them as her angry words due to her hate for his partiality for Makenna. After all, he knew her affection
for him in the past few years.
But now, she was telling his grandma calmly that she did not love him anymore. This made him realize
that what she had said before was not to anger him. She really did not love him anymore.
At this moment, Jared clearly felt a stinging pain and some emptiness in his heart, as if something
important had been dug out. This feeling made his face look very bad.
Georgia saw him from the corner of her eye. She shook her head slightly and sighed. "I had thought
that if you still had feelings for Jared, I would do anything to get you together, but now... Well, forget it."
Their rtionship were broken because Jared had not loved Amber.
Now that Amber didn''t love Jared, there would be no difference from before if they were together again.
"Grandma, thank you for your concern, but it''s impossible for Mr. Farrell and me to be together again."
Amber took Georgia''s hand and said, "Sorry, I let you down...”
"You silly child, what are you talking about? Compared with forcing you to be with Jared, I would rather
see you live a happy life. Look at your little face now, how energetic you are. In the past, you were too
haggard as if you had not been a woman in her twenties. It''s better now." Georgia chuckled.
Seeing that Georgia really didn''t care about it, Amber was relieved and smiled.
Then, she thought of something and took out the ne from her cor. "By the way, Grandma, I
returned to my old house and found a ne. Do you think it''s what you referred to?"
A ne?
Outside on the balcony, Jared narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
What ne?
Georgia looked at the ne and said, "I don''t know if it''s this one. Your father was in a hurry and
didn''t tell me what the ne looked like, so I''m not sure."
Amber put down the ne. "This is the only ne there, no other ones."
"Then it should be this one." Georgia nodded.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
Amber bit her lower lip. "This ne is very simr to Mrs. Gardner''s. I''ve asked, they are mother-
daughter nes. Mrs. Gardner''s is a mother ne, and mine is a daughter ne. But I can''t
understand why Makenna''s ne is at my house."
"You mean this is the ne of the Gardners?" Georgia was stunned.
Amber nodded. "Yes. More than 20 years ago, Trenton Gardner had the nes designed for Mrs.
Gardner and her newly born daughter, Makenna."
"I remember it." Georgia smiled. "If it''s really one of the mother-daughter nes of the Gardners,
then the one in your hand isn''t Makenna''s, but Maka''s."
"Maka''s?" Amber tilted her head in confusion.
Somehow, when she heard this name, an indescribable feeling rose in her heart.
But soon, that feeling disappeared.
"Yes, it''s Maka''s. She''s the elder daughter of Trenton and his wife. Makenna is their younger
daughter. By the way, you and Maka were born in the same year."
Georgia recalled and said, "It was well known in Olkmore that Trenton bought two nes when his
wife gave birth to her elder daughter. Many people envied Mrs. Gardner. But when Makenna was born,
Trenton bought nothing for her. So this ne belongs to her elder daughter."
Amber looked down at the ne on her neck. "Makenna isn''t the only daughter of the Gardner
family. But why haven''t I heard of their elder daughter?"
"She died when she was very young." Jared pushed the door open and chimed in.
Amber was surprised. "Died?"
Georgia nodded. "Yes."
"Then why is this ne in my house?" Amber couldn''t understand.
Jared looked at her and asked, "Do you want to know?"
"Do you know?" Amber looked into his eyes.
Jared didn''tment. "When I heard that Makenna had an elder sister, I investigated Maka. Her
death had something to do with your father."
"My father?" Amber stood up in shock.
Georgia shook her head. "This is a grudge of thest generation."
Amber''s lips trembled. "So what happened between the Gardners and my family many years ago was
Maka''s death?"
"What?" Jared looked at her.
Amber ignored him and held the Georgia''s hand tightly. "Grandma, I am here not only to see you, but
also to find out if something happened to the Reeds and the Gardners many years ago. Otherwise, this
ne would not have appeared in the Reed family."
From this ne, she guessed that something had happened between the two families.
"Grandma, from what you said just now, you should know it. Please tell me what happened to the two
families. Why did Maka''s death have something to do with my father? And is the secret behind the
ne that father mentioned also rted to these things?" Amber looked at Georgia with pleading
eyes.
Georgia patted her on the head and said, "Okay, I''ll tell you. I know, even if I don''t tell you, you''ll find a
way to find it out. I might as well tell you directly. But I didn''t expect that the ne your father
mentioned was actually from the Gardner family."
"Thank you, Grandma." She cried with joy.
She was really afraid that Georgia would not tell her.
Jared looked at Amber''s tears and his heart skipped a beat. He took out the decorative handkerchief
from his suit pocket and handed it over. "Here."
Amber hesitated for a moment, and then shook her head. "No, thanks."
She took out a tissue from her bag.
Jared lowered his eyelids, and his eyes darkened. He clenched the handkerchief in his hand and
withdrew his hand.
Seeing him like this, Georgia thought to herself that he deserved it.
"Alright Grandma, please tell me." After wiping her tears away, Amber smiled again.
Georgia nodded and said slowly, "More than 20 years ago, the Goldstone invented a new machine
independently. That machine can effectively improve the production efficiency. Your father was very
happy to know that the opportunity for Goldstone to be listed wasing, but on the day before it..."
"What happened?" Amber held her hands together and looked at Georgia nervously.
Georgia patted her on the back of her hand with care. "Trenton found out about this machine. He had
the data of this machine stolen, which led to the failure of Goldstone to be listed and the suicide of the
main researcher in despair."
"What?" Amber''s pupils contracted. "How could this happen?"
Jared''s brows furrowed tightly. It was obvious that he didn''t know about this either.
He always knew that Trenton often yed some dirty tricks, but he always felt that it was not a big
problem. After all, business was ruthless, so it was normal for him to have tricks. As long as he did not
go too far, the government would turn a blind eye.
However, he did not expect Trenton to be so despicable. He had even done something like stealing
confidential business information and even indirectly caused someone''s life!
"After that, your father became the target of public criticism. Because of the loss of machine data and
the suicide of the main researcher, your father should not only try to keep the morale of the staff of the
Goldstone, but also faced a hugepensation. Your father couldn''t afford it, so he kidnapped
Trenton''s elder daughter in anger." Georgia said with a sigh.
