Even though Amber didn’t hear what Maka was saying to herself, she noticed the sudden change of the expression on Maka’s face at the moment the elevator door closed up.
That twisted look and the resentful eyes were so terrifying that they made her shiver.
She knew why Maka would look at her like that. It was because Maka didn’t get the answer she wanted from her.
What Maka wanted was that Amber would agree to donate her kidney to Trenton whether Trenton was her biological father or not.
But she didn’t agree to do that after all, which made Maka furious.
The funny thing was, she didn’t know why Maka could be so shameless to ask her to do that. She didn’t know why would Maka think that she would save Trenton and regard him as her father.
She even stupidly asked her what if Trenton really was her father just to make her save him.
Trenton was her father?
Amber looked at the screen in the elevator and smirked.
How was that even possible?
If Trenton really was her father, it would be pathetic for her.
She was raised by the Reed family. If her biological father was the one who destroyed the Reed family, how could she live with that misery in such an awkward position?
Should she help the Reed family take revenge?
Or should she give up seeking revenge and go back to her biological father?
Well, either way was an impossible decision for her.
If she chose the former, she was a monster who could even do harm to her biological parents and everyone would be pointing fingers at her.
But if she chose thetter, she would be the ungrateful bastard who betrayed her foster parents who treated her as their own and people would still despise her.
So either way was a dead end for her. The only she could do was to resolve the contractions between these two families and do it in a peaceful way.
And the peaceful way was to use her own death to revolve the hatred between these two families.
As long as she was dead, she didn’t have to revenge on the Reed family.
As long as she was dead, maybe Mr. and Mrs. Gardner would feel sorry for what they had done to the Reed family and let it go. Maybe they would choose to atone for their past sins. After all, the Reed family raised their daughter.
In that way, she didn’t have to face her biological parents in person and could undo the wrong for the Reed family. No one needs to die in the feud except for her.
That would be nice.
Of course, the premise was that Mr. and Mrs. Gardner were really her biological parents.
But the truth was, they weren’t. She didn’t have to care about the feud between the Reed family and the Gardner family and take vengeance on the Gardner family.
Speaking of that, Hayden mentioned it to her that the government had set up a business investigation team. Thepanies that were facing investigation in Olkmore City were the Trident Group and anotherpany.
Now the investigation team had gone to Kongham City, which was next to the city they were in. The team was going to Olkmore City the next month to undertake a full investigation into the Trident Group.
There must be something wrong with the Trident Group and Trenton hadn’t been welltely.
If the investigation team dug up something from the Trident Group next month, would Trenton drop dead out of something wrong rage?
Thinking of that possibility, Amber felt quite delighted.
Ding!
The elevator had arrived on the first floor.
Amber took a deep breath and contained herself. She exited the elevator carrying the paper bag. She went back to her apartment and started making the soup.
When the soup was ready, it was almost one o’clock.
Amber grabbed the thermal lunch box and drove all the way to Goldstone Co.
At first, she wanted to take it directly to the Farrell Group. But on the way there, she got a call from She and she said that there was an important file that needed to be signed by her right now. So she had no choice but to go back to Goldstone Co. first.
“Miss Reed.”
“Good afternoon, Miss Reed.”
Amber walked into the gate of Goldstone Co. On the way, all of the employees who were passing by all stopped and greeted her.
Amber smiled and nodded to all of them.
Soon after that, she arrived at the top floor. The second she exited the elevator, she saw She waiting by the office door.
Amber waved at her and She started smiling, “Good afternoon, Miss Reed.”
“Good afternoon,” Amber coughed and answered awkwardly.
She managed to greet back to the employees calmly when they said hello to her.
But she couldn’t do that to She. Because She knew the reason why she was here sote.
So she was a bit embarrassed when she responded.
However, she had be cheekier than before. As long as she didn’t look her in the eyes, she could barely manage to act as nothing happened and open the office door indifferently.
She hadn’t been to her office for two days so the air wasn’t so fresh here.
She walked straight to the windows and opened them all to get some fresh air.
Amber put down her purse and smiled at her, “Thanks.”
She shook her head, “You’re more than wee, Miss Reed. It’s my pleasure.”
“That being said, it doesn’t mean I get to be rude.” Amber grinned and put out the chair to sit down.
She stood in front of her desk and said, “Miss Reed, I think it’s best to give me a spare key. If you have to take one or two days off again, I can help clean your office.”
Those words instantly made Amber blush, “What do you mean by saying that I have to take one or two days off? Nonsense.”
She jokingly looked at her and said, “That’s not nonsense. These two days has been an excellent proof for that, hasn’t it?”
Amber didn’t know what to respond to her words and her face turned even redder.
In the end, she acted like she was outraged and threw a stuffed toy at She, “Good for you! You’ve got some nerves to tease me like that.”
She caught the toy and put it on the desk, smiling, “Don’t get mad, Miss Reed. I’m just kidding. But to be honest, Miss Reed, you’re glowing today.”
“Really?” Amber started touching her cheeks.
She nodded, “Really. Your cheeks are rosy and you look much better than usual. All thanks to Mr. Farrell.”
“What does that have to do with him?” Amber raised her eyebrows and didn’t quite get what She meant.
Then she suddenly realized what she meant by saying it was all due to Jared when she saw She grin quietly,
For a moment, she started blushing again and became a bit mad and helpless, “She, if you say that again, I’m gonna be mad at you.”
“No no no, I won’t say that again.” She giggled as she waved her hands, meaning that she wouldn’t gab about it again.
Amber snorted, “Fine. Give me the documents.”
“Okay.” She rubbed her cheeks and became serious and stern like she always was when she was at work. She handed the documents to her with both of her hands.
Amber took them over and started signing them as she said, “By the way, could you please help me have this sent to the Farrell Group?”
She used her pen to knock against the thermal lunch box.
She pushed up her ck frame sses and asked, “Miss Reed, is it for Mr. Farrell?”
She guessed that right away.
Amber stopped hiding and nodded while she looked away, “Yeah. He was in a car ident the day before yesterday. Though he ispletely okay, I’m still worried about him so I wanna make him some soup to help him get well soon.”
She could never admit that the real reason why she made that soup for him was what happenedst night.
If she really said that to She, she would definitely taunt her for that.
So she decided not toe clean.
Just as she expected, She didn’t think twice about it when she heard that Amber made it to help him get better after the car ident. She took the lunch box and said, “I’ll ask Jack to do it. He needs to go to Yutoga and he can stop by.”
“Okay, do it your way then.” Amber nodded and handed She the documents the had just signed.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
