Chapter 10
Hearing that the people around them wanted to call the police, Rachel did not show any sign of fear. Instead, she raised her voice and said loudly, “What do all of you know about this? You think you are defending her against injustice? Let me tell you, this woman is famous for being vicious and despicable. Three years ago, she was a murderer. In order to seduce my son, she pushed my four- month pregnant daughter-in-law and caused her miscarriage!”
Rachel was really skillful in twisting the truth. As she said that, the atmosphere among the bystanders immediately changed. Everyone looked at Amber with disdain. “It’s really hard to tell, isn’t it? She’s so young yet so wicked!”
Amber was so mad that she was trembling all over. She had wanted to settle this in a calm manner and leave, but because of Rachel’s provocation, she grabbed her phone and called the police.
The police arrived very quickly, but Rachel was still brazen. “Do you know who my son is? He’s Rodney Barron. My in-law is Mr. Black, the Chief Secretary. If you want to arrest me, you’ll need to have the ability to do so.”
Of course, the police had heard of Rodney Barron and knew Mr. Black, hence they didn’t dare to handle it impartially. Instead, they turned around to persuade Amber. “This is just a small matter. How about we settle this privately by asking Mrs. Barron for some payment?”
“I won’t settle this privately! Why should I do that?” Amber retorted.
“There won’t be any significant outcome even if you sued her. You only suffered minor injuries and it was the chauffeur who was driving. The most you can get out of it is some compensation, that’s it. Besides, she is Mr. Barron’s mother and also Mr. Black’s in-law, ordinary people like you can’t beat them, can you?”
The police was stating the reality. As Amber listened, she felt that the words were unusually stinging. She insisted on not settling it in private.
The police had no choice. Seeing that Amber was injured, they had to send her to the hospital first. Amber’s hands and feet were injured. A doctor treated her wounds, and as soon as the bandaging was done, hurried footsteps could be heard from the door. Soon, the door was pushed open, and Rodney appeared at the door with his special assistant, Deon.
Amber was stunned for a while when she saw Rodney. The doctor knew him and quickly greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Barron!”
“Please leave for a moment, I have to speak with her.”
The doctor nodded and left immediately. Rodney looked down on Amber and said in a cold voice, “Say it, how much do you want?”
Not expecting Rodney to say such a thing as soon as he arrived, Amber trembled with anger. “Mr. Barron, do you think everyone is as shameless as you?
Do you think everyone is so greedy and regards money as everything like you do?”
“That’s right, you’re noble and unique. But haven’t you still fallen to such a wretched state?” Rodney scoffed, “Amber Stone, once you left me, you’re nothing!”
He was the one who wanted a divorce and also the one who made her leave without giving her a penny. But now, this man was acting like she owed him something.
How could he be so shameless? Amber’s heart was pierced. She pursed her lips, suppressing the sadness in her heart. She then smiled at Rodney and said, “Without you, at least I’m still Amber Stone. Did you know? Within the three years of being with you, I felt extremely miserable. Now I’ve finally
reconnected with myself, and am living a free and happy life. I don’t have to be beaten and scolded by your mother or tolerate your temper anymore. What else am I dissatisfied with?”
Rodney’s eyes were fuming in anger. “Since that’s the case, why did you come back?”
“The South City is my home. Do I have to ask for your permission when I come back, Mr. Barron?”
“That’s not necessary. But Amber Stone, be honest with yourself, didn’t you come back because you heard that I am going to get engaged to Celia?”
“Hah, Mr. Barron, you think too highly of yourself. Meeting a scumbag like you, once is tragic enough. I’d rather be blind than to disgust myself by seeing you again. So don’t worry, I’ll avoid you whenever I see you.”
She addressed him respectfully, but her eyes were indifferent to the uttermost. Rodney felt very disturbed in his heart. Was the woman in front of him still the Amber Stone, whom he had loved for five years?
In the past, Amber always wore a sweet smile. She had never spoken meanly, and always liked to act cute while snuggling in his arms. However, the Amber in front of him was like a hedgehog. There was no trace of affection when she looked at him, only hatred and disgust.
It shouldn’t be like this. She was the one who was at fault. What reason does she have to be so brazen?
Controlling the emotions in his heart, he replied, “That will be best. I hope that Miss. Stone will keep the promise and never appear before me again! Also, don’t try to provoke Celia!”
Rodney threw a gold card harshly before Amber and left. She looked at the gold card in front of her, it was like money given to a beggar. She couldn’t help but shed tears uncontrollably!
Three years ago, he heartlessly asked her to leave. Three years later, he sent her to the police station on the first day they met again. Now he cruelly humiliated her in such a way. She hated herself. Why did she fall in love with such a disgusting man? Why did she have to endure the three years of hell for such a man?
