    Hearing this, Jared looked gloomy.

    Cole quickly skied down and came to Amber’s side, asking, “Baby, is everything okay?”


    “Yes, I am fine.”


    “d to hear that.” Cole breathed a sigh of relief, shouting to the one on the slope impatiently,


    “Hey, Ms. Gardner, hurry up!”


    After Makenna came down, he said nonchntly, “Don’t assume that I didn’t see what had happened


    just now. It was you who bumped into Amber!”


    “Wearing a helmet, I felt that my vision was a little blurry.” Makenna bit her lips and apologized


    to Amber, “Sorry, Ms. Reed, I bumped into you.”


    “Amber was right in front of you rather than on the side. If you didn’t see her, you were blind!” Cole


    waved his hand in front of Makenna’s eyes, asking, “Ms. Gardner, you’re blind, aren’t you?


    Should I help you get a doctor?”


    “That’s enough.” Jared interrupted unhappily, “I saved Ms. Reed just now. And Makenna also


    apologized to her.”


    Cole sneered, “Mr. Farrell, you also know that the course is steeply sloping. My baby, who is a


    beginner, got bumped by Ms. Gardner. If no one had saved her, she would have broken her bones!


    Can I assume that your girlfriend ismitting an attempted murder?”


    “Cole, don’t be so aggressive.” Makenna was so angry that her eyes turned red, saying in a trembling


    voice, “It’s true that I didn’t see her just now. If you continue to be so picky, I can go up


    there and let Ms. Reed knock me down once.”


    “OK!” Cole agreed, “Hurry up. Let Amber bump into you. And I’ll go save you. Then we are even!”


    Feeling speechless, Makenna leaned against Jared, looking so pitiful.


    With a gloomy look, Jared seemed to have been angered by Cole’s aggressiveness. Seeing this,


    Amber tugged at Cole, “Go. Let’s go back.”


    “No!” Cole was upset, adding, “You had divorced Jared for fuck’s sake. And his girlfriend is bullying


    you. Why do you have to be so forgiving?”


    Amber moved closer to him, whispering to him, “Hayden gave me the acquisition documents of


    Maxmatch.”


    Hayden was on good terms with Jared. Whatever Jared asked him to do, he would do as he said


    without taking his coboration with Amber into his ount.


    Amber did not want to let Makenna go. Even so, she didn’t want Jared to step in and her from acquiring


    Maxmatch.


    prevent


    Hearing her words, Cole grasped the pros and cons in between. Grunting, he no longer bothered with


    Makenna. Before leaving, he turned back and flipped them off.


    Seeing this, Makenna was furious.


    She had never seen a man who was as mean and cheap as Cole!


    Staring at Jared’s sullen face, Makenna said in a low voice, “I was concentrated on skiing just


    now and didn’t see Ms. Reed. I also apologized to her. But Cole was being so hostile. Ahem…”


    She bent down and coughed a few times. And her face turned pale somehow.


    ncing at her, Jared couldn’t bear to be indifferent to her. Taking her into his arms, he said,


    “With me by your side, Cole will only scold you verbally. He dares not do anything to you. It is too


    cold. I will take you back to the hotel.”


    “Okay.” Makenna hugged him with a small smile on her face.


    By the time Amber and Cole went back to the hotel, it had been 5 p. m.


    She went to ask the receptionist, only to be told that Myles Tam was in the chess room. So she went to


    him alone. She plucked up the cheekiness she learned from Cole and told Myles that she would like to


    acquire hispany at a negotiable price.


    No matter what she said, Myles wouldn’t agree. Finally, he got impatient, saying, “However high the


    price you offer is, I won’t sell mypany. Just leave!”


    He directly drove her out of the chess room.


    Amber was torn, intending to call Cole over here. However, facing Myles, in her opinion, Cole probably


    won’t.convince him either however hard he tried. Moreover, without getting business done and


    negotiating with others in person, she would never learn from the experience.


    Thinking of Z, she logged onto her WhatsApp ount, clicked open the chatbox with him and


    messaged him: Have you been in contact with the boss of Maxmatch, Myles Tam? He’s such a tough


    nut. Whatever the price I offer, he won’t talk to me.


    After messaging him, Amber realized that something was wrong, wondering why she turned to him and


    consulted with him about this kind of matter. Shouldn’t it be better if she asked Hayden instead?


    Amber wanted to unsent the messages, only to find that she couldn’t because of the expired


    time.


    At this point, Z replied: Myles is high–above and arrogant. He doesn’t like to let others take over his


    company and manage it. Previously, he asked for funds from others to save hispany. It is because


    the counterpart wanted to get the right to run hispany that he didn’t


    agree.


    Z: He didn’t get along with his father, which you can take advantage of.


    Reading this, Amber was quickly enlightened.


    Amber: While negotiating with him, instead of asking for the right to operate hispany, I can raise


    the percentage of acquired shares or use his father to provoke him.


    Z: You are so smart as to get my point right away.”


    Z got back to Amber somewhat slowly on WhatsApp. However, Amber found every word he


    said useful.


    The negotiation tips revealed by Z enlightened Amber, making her realize how to avoid being at a


    disadvantage while negotiating with the boss of Maxmatch.


    She sent a few more messages.


    Amber: Hey goose, are you working for Hayden? Or do you run apany yourself? I see that


    you are knowledgeable.


    Z: Why did you call me goose?


    Amber: You didn’t tell me your name. What’s the big deal?


    Amber: I won’t delete your contact. So don’t delete me, okay? It is good to have a friend like you who is


    knowledgeable. I happen to need a mentor to guide me. I won’t take up much of your time for free.


    From now on, you can set a price on every piece of info you reveal to me.


    In the hotel room, Jared read several messages sent by Amber, bursting intoughter.


    Amber had helped Logan, so he revealed this info to her in return. Unexpectedly, she was


    asking for more.


    It took a while for Jared to get back to her: Well, good.


    Amber: You are so knowledgeable and kind. You are as cute as your avatar!


    Reading her message, Jared twitched the corner of his mouth. After existing the app, he called Ben.


    Ben picked up the call quickly, “Mr. Farrell, what is it?”


    “I entrusted you to take care of my WhatsApp ount before.” Jared frowned while saying, “There are


    so many avatars you can choose. Why did you choose the picture of a goose?”


    Ben said politely, “The goose looks cute and would make you more approachable.”


    Jared was silent.


    “Mr. Farrell, you managed the WhatsApp ount on your own long ago. If you find the goose avatar an


    eyesore, why didn’t you change it?” Ben indirectly implied that he hadn’t done anything. wrong, “If you


    don’t know how to change it, I can teach you a little bit…”


    “No need!” Jared directly hung up the phone.


    Over the dinner, Amber and Cole went to the table where the boss of Maxmatch was.


    Amber sat opposite him with a shallow smile, saying, “Mr. Tam, there are a lot of empty seats at your


    table. Do you mind if my friend and I sit here?”


    Myles ate on his own, ignoring her.


    “I know that you founded thispany, cherishing it like your own child.”


    Amber folded her hands on the table, saying calmly, “After Goldstone Co. acquires Maxmatch, I


    promised that the right to control Maxmatch will be in your hands and Maxmatch will run independently.


    I won’t send someone on my side to manage it abruptly.”


    Hearing this, Myles finally raised his head and looked at her, asking, “Who taught you to negotiate like


    this? Your ex–husband?”


    Amber was stunned.


    Putting down the chopsticks, Myles said unhappily, “your ex–husband has been coveting mypany,


    repeatedly sending executives to ask me out for dinner and negotiating with me. I am annoyed with


    him. After returning from a trip abroad, I came here to ski, only to bump into you!”


    “I divorced Mr. Farrell a long time ago. It is another friend who told me about the acquisition information


    of Maxmatch.” Despite exining so, Amber felt suspicious in her heart.


    As for what Myles had said, the staff of the Farrell Group once had told her about this as well.


    However, it was the man named Z on WhatsApp that had told her so.


    She thought, “If what they had said is true, then the man that night… was Jared?“
