    Chapter 38 Pay off My Bet


    Jared who dressed in a ck cloak entered. His attractive features and cool demeanor still cause a


    flutter in Amber’s emotions. She locked her gaze on him for a few moments before lowering her head.


    Even after their divorce, he was still able to influence her emotional state.


    “Hello Mr. Farrell,” Chloe, the second person to see Jared greeted him. “Makenna mentioned that you


    are busy working, yet, you are still here to pick her up?”


    Jared responded with a simple nod and was slightly annoyed seeing Amber.


    Did she forget what happened previously at Red Plum Club?

    He didn’t believe Hayden when he told him Amber and Makenna were ying poker. He knew Amber


    sucked at poker and wouldn’t do something stupid like ying with Makenna. But Hayden managed to


    lure him here by sending him a photograph.


    “Didn’t you mention you were coughing this afternoon?” Jared asked Makenna, who was looking a little


    pale. “Why are you here instead of resting?” He asked softly.


    “It’s not something serious,” Makenna said with a smile, “And I want to wee Gigi to our city.”


    Jared had heard about Gigi from South Riverside and he knew Mel Gand.


    He took off his scarf and put it around Makenna’s neck, causing the otherdies to look at her


    enviously.


    “Mr. Farrell, we know you care so much about Makenna but it’s warm in here, she isn’t that cold,” Chloe


    said, “But your care for her makes us envy.”


    “Get out you,” Makenna joked as she flushed at Chloe’s words.


    “All right, I’ll shut up.”


    Jared’s acts, such as putting the scarf around Makenna’s neck and bringing her hot beverage,


    were like sharp des stabbing Amber’s heart.


    When Makenna challenged her for a deal, she wanted her to leave Jared and never return to Olkmore,


    but after seeing how Jared treated her, she changed her mind.


    “Ms. Reed’s isn’t good at poker,” Jared said, sweeping his gaze over Amber’s cards. “It’s no


    Chapter 38 Pay off My Bet


    pleasure ying with such a rookie, and let me y with you after this round.”


    Makenna’s smile froze for a second as she heard this, but she epted meekly.


    Meanwhile, Chloe noticed Amber was winning and wanted to inform Makenna, but Amber didn’t make


    a move, so Makenna called for the win instead. “Ms. Reed, I’ll take this round as


    well.”


    “Wow, Makenna, you’re a fantastic yer; you’ve got a full house!”


    “You must pay off your bet Amber,” Gigi stated as she handed the server a bundle of cash. “Find us a


    tattoo artist as soon as possible.”


    “Yes, right away.”


    “What is all this about?” Jared asked Makenna, puzzled by what was going on.


    “I’m informed that Ms. Reed has your initials tattooed on her body… It was her who wanted to


    bet and promised to have the tattoo removed if she lost,” Makenna murmured gently, biting her


    lower lips.


    “Ms. Gardner, you were the one who initiated the bet at the restaurant earlier and wanted her


    to remove the ‘JF’ letters on her waist if she lost, but now you’re iming otherwise?” Ste


    inquired. “You’re being nasty.”


    “Stop spouting nonsense,” Chloe chastised, knowing that everyone was on her side. “Is it


    terrible to not want her boyfriend’s name on someone else’s body? Also, Makenna invited her to


    y poker but did notpel her to do so with a gun to her head; she agreed voluntarily.”


    her.


    “No onepelled her to ept the deal,” said anotherdy.


    Apart from Ste, the rest of them were Makenna’s pals, and they would undoubtedly protect


    The tattoo artist arrived with his toolbox right in the thick of their quarrel.


    “That’s enough, I lost the bet and will pay off my debt,” Amber remarked calmly to Makenna as she


    moved andid on the sofa, lifted her sweater, revealing the JF tattoo on her waist, and the artist began


    working immediately.


    Amber lied silently while the tattoo artist worked on it. Jared scowled irritably as he looked at


    the tattoo on her waist.


    This sight reminded hint of what Maple Leaf said in the letter about one of her favorite


    Chapter 38 Pay off My Bet


    celebrities having his wife’s name tattooed on his body after she died, giving him the sensation that she


    was still with him every day.


    Maple Leaf stated that, despite her phobia of pain, she would endure it in order to get her lover’s name


    tattooed on her so that he could be by her side at all times.


    “Can you recall what you


    suddenly.


    said about tattoos in your letter?” He asked Makenna a question


    “I can’t remember everything,” Makenna said, shaking her head and clutching his arm. “Jared, am I


    wrong to make Ms. Reed remove the tattoo?” She said, her eyes wet.


    “No,” Jared murmured tenderly as he stroked her hair.


    Makenna leaned her head on Jared’s shoulder and nodded.


    She was relieved that she had burned all of the letters after Jared left to work that morning; she wanted


    to permanently erase Maple Leaf from his heart.


    She was overjoyed to watch Amber in pain as the tattoo was being removed, and she eventually


    defeated Amber!


    “Makenna offered you a chance to surrender, but you blew it!” Chloe said, her arms folded in front of


    her chest. “Before epting a bet, Ms. Reed, you should learn how to y poker.”


    Hearing herments, the other women chuckled while ncing at Amber.


    Amber’s forehead was drenched in sweat during the process, and she didn’t have the energy to


    entertain Chloe. In the midst of all of this, a server walked in asking for her, “May I know who


    Ms. Reed is?”


    “I am,” Amber responded.


    “Someone called Mr. Lynch has sent you a present,” the server stated as he handed over a tiny bag.


    “Thank you.” Amber opened the bag and pulled out the box inside on the spot to distract. herself from


    the pain. Inside was a ring beautifully put on top of a piece of blue silk fabric.


    The ring was created in the shape of a wheatear leaf and glistened beneath the lights.


    “This is a ring by the famous designer Maestro K”, Ste said, instantly recognizing the ring. “K


    handcrafted this ring, which was sold in an auctionst month at Rockinglet Ind for over 800


    thousand dors.”


    “Like Corazón Azul, this is the only design in the entire world.”


    “It’s gorgeous!”


    All of the women’s eyes were drawn to the ring, which they wanted to try on, take some photos. and


    show off on Instagram.


    Amber also received two text messages.


    Jeremy: Cole said that you were celebrating his birthday with him today, so I sent you a little.

    Jeremy: Do you like it, Ambs?
