Jeremy raised his eyebrow, “How did you…”
“Looks like I’m right. You are Edmund Rnds’ son.” Ste smiled.
Jeremy’s face looked quite hideous. He appeared not in a gentleman’s way anymore, “When did you know it?”
“Now,” Ste waved her hand, “But I’ve always been suspecting that you are the child of Mr. Rnds and you have already known it. But I have no evidence. That’s why I asked you that. Now your reaction tells me that I’m right. When I mentioned his name, the hatred I sensed in your eyes told me you do remember how you left the Rnds’.
Otherwise, he would not have refused her when he knew he was the son of Mr. Rnds.
The only answer was that he had his childhood memory and he was reluctant to return home.
Jeremy bit his lips tightly and remained silent.
Ste heaved a sigh, “For me, your silence means you agree my words. But I still need your hair for a paternity test.”
Though she was quite sure that the man standing before her was the young master, she still wanted to do a paternity test for security.
Over this, Ste reached out her hand to Jeremy’s head.
A sense of hatred shed in his eyes and suddenly he attacked Ste.
Ste quickly dodged and defended herself.
Then they began to fight in the corridor.
Though Jeremy was a man and was quite tall, he could not beat Ste. That’s because Ste was trained as a killer when she was young. Soon, she caught Jeremy with ease and pressed him against the wall.
Seeing Jeremy struggling with his face filled with rage and humiliation, Ste patted his face, “My little boy, you were at school when I killed someone for the first time. Now your hair is mine.”
Then she pulled of some hair from his head.
Jeremy mourned out of pain and red at Ste with rage.
Ste freed him fearlessly, “Okay. Now I got the hair.”
“I won’t let you go,” Jeremy said coldly with his hands clenched into fists.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
Ste smiled, “Well, I can wait. If you get back to the Rnds’ and take your revenge on me, I promise I will not fight back.”
“I can deal with you even if I am not Jeremiah Rnds.” Jeremy replied while tiding up his clothes.
He could not beat her physically.
But he believed he was the smarter one.
Ste looked more serious, “That’s enough. I’m here to tell you that you have to get back home. My father told me yesterday that the Fourth Young Master’s men have been here in Olkmore. Obviously, they have known you are here. Then they will find you soon and you and the people around you will suffer.”
She stared at Jeremy, “You have your childhood memories and you know what kind of person the Fourth Young Master is. He would do everything as long as he can get all the things in the Rnds’. The first thing he needs to do is to eliminate you, the legitimate inheritor of the Rnds’. If he could not get to you at this moment, he will get to the one you value the most to make you suffer life-long agony. Do you want Ms. Reed to be noticed by the Fourth Young Master?”
Jeremy’s face changed frequently. But it remained quite dark.
Of course not.
He won’t let anyone hurt Amber.
Ste smiled as if she knew what Jeremy had in mind, “I know you hate Mr. Rnds. But for the sake of Ms. Reed and your mother, you have toe back home. Remember, your mother is his wife and you are the legitimate son of the Rnds’. Why would you give all those to the bastard? You’d better think it over.”
After that she picked up the files on the ground and wiped off the dust on it before she headed to Amber’s office.
She was at this floor. But she was in She’s office and was discussing business with her. After that, she needed to find Ms. Reed to have some paper signed.
But when she got out of the office, she saw Jeremy standing here so she started a conversation with him. Now Ms. Reed must be waiting for her. She must leave.
Staring at Ste’s back, Jeremy clenched his hands into fists. In his mind, the words “for the sake of Ms. Reed and your mother” kept echoing repeatedly.
Maybe he should return home.
The next day, Amber went to the Farrell Group.
In the morning, she was informed that she shoulde to the Farrell Group to attend a meeting about new energy.
Now the technology in this field was advanced enough. Now they only need a field trial.
Then the new energy could be employed in all the major factories. That fact had made the meeting all the more important. No one should be absent.
Amber parked her car in the underground parking lot and headed towards the elevator.
Luckily, the elevator was at the basement level I. Amber pressed the button and the door was opened soon.
She walked in and was about to close the door. But then she heard someone said from the outside, “Please wait!”
Amber used her hand to open the door unconsciously.
It was Ben who came inside. He smiled regrettably at her, “Thank you, Ms. Reed.”
Amber was surprised a bit by his appearance.
But soon, she calmed down again.
It’s quite normal to see Ben here. After all, she was at Jared’s ce now.
“You’re wee.” Amber nodded as reply.
Ben held the button to keep the door open and had quite a few looks outside as if he was waiting for someone.
Amber bit her red lips.
She knew what he was waiting.
In the Farrell Group, there was only one man he could wait for, that is, his boss Jared Farrell.
As she expected, Jared appeared.
He was standing outside the elevator. Noticing Amber’s presence, he seemed to be taken aback before he strode in, “Morning!”
Amber walked sideway to dodge him, “Morning.”
Jared frowned as he noticed her dodging him and then he said, “What a coincidence!”
“What?” Amber turned away to look at him.
Staring at the door of the elevator, “We always meet each other when we attend the meetings about new energy.”
Amber’s eyes got wide open.
Indeed!
Ben who stood in the corner silently secretly rolled his eyes back.
That’s definitely not a coincidence!
When they met identally in the elevator before, it was pure coincidence. But this time Mr. Farrell waited in his car deliberately after he knew Ms. Reed would also be present in the meeting so that he could meet her “identally” in the elevator.
That’s only small tricks yed by Mr. Farrell.
“Makenna’s trial is today, right?” Jared asked suddenly.
Amber nodded, “Right.”
She was not surprised Jared would know it.
The date of Makenna’s trial was already disclosed online.
“Congrattions. She could finally be punished byw,” Jared said with his hands in pockets.
Amber gave him a contemptuous look, “If it were not you, she would be punished byw earlier.”
Jared was stunned by her words and then he lowered his head, “Sorry.”
Though he did not do those things out of his own wish, he really did so.
“Okay. It has all passed and you’ve helped me a lot. I don’t mind what you did anymore. So, you don’t have to apologize.”
Then with a plinking sound, the elevator stopped.
Amber did not move. She wanted Jared to go first.
After all, Jared was the host.
Jared knew what she had in mind and got out of the elevator first. After that, Amber also got out.
But then she found that Jared was standing out there waiting for her.
“After all, I want you to believe me that all the things I have done for Makenna was against my will.” Jared said with his eyes fixed on Amber earnestly.
