Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 67

Rodney parked the car at the door, and Rachel’s car also arrived at the door.

The mother and son entered the villa with a sullen face. The auntie was shocked when she saw Rachel’s embarrassed look. “What’s wrong?”

Rachel did not answer and threw her bag on the sofa. “Let’s talk!”

“Okay!” Rodney spat out a word and sat down on the sofa. He looked at Rachel coldly and said, “What do you want to talk about?”

Rachel was furious when she saw how indifferent he was. “Rodney, how can you be so cold-blooded? I’m your mother. You’re indifferent to that woman bullying me like this. Look at how arrogant that woman is!”

“That’s your own fault!” Rodney sneered. “As an educated and prestigious person, you dared to disturb others’ meals in public and even attack them in front of other people’s children. Amber doesn’t take you seriously!”

“How can you talk to me like that?” Rachel was so angry that she shouted, “Your father died early, and I have to take care of the company and you. Has it been easy for me for so many years?”

“Since I was sensible, you’ve been saying that thousands of times. Mom, aren’t you tired?” Rodney asked. “Which single mother in this world didn’t come from like this? Compared with others, you have a company left by your father. With enough wealth, you don’t have to be homeless and worry about your livelihood. But others are not so lucky.”

Rodney was filled with emotions. When he thought of how Amber had been forced to such a state over the years, he felt extremely aggrieved. If his mother hadn’t always used filial piety to suppress him, and if it hadn’t been for his mother’s interference, he and Amber wouldn’t have become such strangers.

He would not blame himself and suffer like this. They would have their own children and live a happy life.

Thinking of this, Rodney’s anger erupted like a volcano. “It’s said that maternal love is selfless and does not ask for anything in return. Why have I never felt this? Since I can remember, you have been using morality to tie me up. It’s not as good as what you mean. You can do whatever you want. Others’ mothers all want their sons to be happy, but my mother has never seen a son. There is only a company and power and wealth in her eyes. I always want to ask you, am I really your son?”

“Rodney? What do you mean? What happened?” Rachel looked at her son as if she didn’t know him.

“I just want to ask you, why did you torture me like this?” Rodney’s eyes were blood red. “I would rather you abandoned me and married me to your happiness than tie me up with filial piety for the rest of my life. I would rather be left in an orphanage than live a life worse than death!”

Rodney’s words caused Rachel’s eyes to widen. Was it like what her son had said to her mother? “You are so disobedient…”

Before she could finish her sentence with a tearful tone, Rodney interrupted her immediately. “I’m rebellious? I’ll make you ignore the woman I love without a bottom line, and make you force me to drive her out of the house and let her drift around with nothing? You’ve tied me up with filial piety for decades. Aren’t you tired?”

“You… how can you say that about me?” Rachel was so angry that she was shivering. Her son had been listening to her all these years, so she had never checked her words and deeds, and she always thought that what she had done was for her son’s good.

Now that he suddenly heard his son shouting, how could he bear it?

Her son was looking for her because of Amber. “How could you be angry with me because of that woman? What kind of drug did that damned woman give you? Why didn’t you even recognize your mother?” Rachel also shouted when she realized what was going on. “If she hadn’t gone back on her words, would I have treated her like that?”

“You’re going back on your word? Now that things have developed to this point, do you still think so? Do you think I’m blind?” Rodney was extremely disappointed with his mother. “Ever since Amber got married, you’ve been looking down on her and picking on her everywhere. She’s been tolerant of everything for me, but you’ve gone even further and tried every means to humiliate her and torture her. Mom, you’re also a woman. Why don’t you think about it for her?”

“Why didn’t I think for her? She couldn’t have a baby. I took her everywhere to seek medical help. I haven’t given up on her for three years. If she hadn’t been so disobedient and if she hadn’t pushed Celia into a miscarriage, would I have treated her like this?”

When Rodney saw his mother’s stubborn look, his heart was burning with anger. “With an evil mother- in-law like you, it’s strange that she can give birth to a child! Didn’t you always say that Amber doesn’t know how to lay eggs? How do you feel when you see the beautiful child beside her?”

Rachel couldn’t make a sound.

“Mom, don’t tell me you don’t have anything to say?” Rodney looked at his mother mockingly.

“I…” Rachel had nothing else to say.

“Don’t you want to know what kind of life Amber has been through after being driven out by me? Let me tell you, she was forced to get married after being driven out by me, a heartless and unscrupulous rich man. She doesn’t love that man at all. She just can’t survive. She has to marry a man she doesn’t love because she has to live.”

“I didn’t force her. I just asked you to get a divorce. I didn’t say I wouldn’t give her money.” Rachel retorted.

“Yes, it’s indeed my idea not to give her money, but do you know why I’m so cruel?” Rodney said viciously.

“I was forced by you! You forced me and Amber to divorce, but I didn’t want to. I really didn’t want to divorce her! But I couldn’t see my mother die, so I asked the lawyer to sign that agreement. I just wanted to force her to not sign it with such harsh conditions. But she was desperate for me! She signed the divorce without saying anything. In order to force her back, I tried my best not to give her a job. I wanted her to come back in a desperate situation. But I never thought that she would end up in the dark!”

Rodney cried out so many times, but he didn’t feel comfortable. He felt so wronged that he panicked.

“In order to survive, she chose to get married, but when she was about to get married, her man left. Her child was born without a father. Over the years, she had been running around with her child and suffered a lot. She shouldn’t have suffered this. It was because she married a coward like me that she fell into such a situation because she married a cold-blooded man like me. Do you understand?”

Rachel naturally did not understand. “It has already happened. Can’t you just give her some money?”

Hearing her frivolous words, Rodney punched the coffee table in front of her. “Is this a problem of money? Ah!”

“What do you want? She’s already married and has a child. It’s hard to accept. What else can we do except for money?”

“Yes, I have already thought of the best solution. Marry her again and raise her child as her own!”

“Are you crazy?” Rachel jumped up.

“I’m not crazy. This is the result of my careful consideration during this period of time.”

“No! I won’t let you do this!” Rachel was anxious. “Son, you think there are many ways to make it up to her, but you don’t have to marry her? You and Celia have already arranged an engagement date, and everything is ready. You are waiting for the engagement now. How can you let Celia be like this?”

“You can compensate her for her money!” Rodney replied coldly.

Wasn’t this what she had just said to her son? His son immediately brought it back to her. Rachel was almost choked to death by her son’s words. “Rodney, Celia is just a virgin girl. It’s really not easy for her to do this for you. You have to think of her at least.”

“Who am I thinking about for her for Amber?” Rodney retorted. “Celia’s matter is the result of your own decision. Go ahead and settle it yourself. I’m going to get Amber back now. No one can stop me!”

“If you continue like this, I won’t be able to live!” Rachel threatened.

“Mom, aren’t you tired of talking about death every day?” Rodney looked at Rachel. “It’s enough to use the same method once. It’s annoying to use it again and again.”

“You…” Rachel didn’t expect her son to say such heartless words, so she had no idea what to do.

“I remember you saying that I don’t have a child. Don’t you have the face to see my father after your death? I don’t have a child now, do I? Mom, you don’t want to die!” Rodney mocked.

Rachel’s face turned red, but she couldn’t say anything. Rodney turned around and went upstairs. After a few steps, he turned back and said, “This time, I won’t be at anyone’s mercy. My life is in my hands!”

Shannon accompanied Channing to an event today. Celia was alone at home, and no one at home felt very lonely. Celia went back to her room after watching TV in the living room alone for a while.

She didn’t know why she always felt a little uneasy. “Is there anything wrong?”

Just as she was thinking about it, she picked up the phone and heard a woman’s low voice. “Ms. Black, it’s me.”

“Mary?” Hearing the voice of the nanny, Celia had a bad feeling in her heart.

“Madam and Mr. Barron had a big fight just now.”

“Why did you quarrel?”

“For Amber, Amber gave birth to a son. Mr. Barron knows…” The auntie told her the whole story of the quarrel. The more Celia listened, the more frightened she became.

After the aunt finished reporting, she hung up the phone in a hurry. Celia was out of her mind. What should she do? What should she do?

“Why hasn’t my mother come back yet?” She picked up her phone and called Shannon. The phone rang twice and was hung up. Celia couldn’t sit still anymore. She opened the door and went downstairs in a hurry. However, she heard the sound of the car. Her mother and father were back.

Shannon and Channing had just walked in with a smile. Judging from their complexion, they must be very happy about today’s event.

Celia controlled herself and came forward. “Mom, I bought a set of clothes. Can you help me with it?”

Shannon nodded. “You go up first. I’ll make a cup of tea for your father.”

“Go ahead. I’ll ask Aunt Maleah to make tea.” Channing was in a good mood.

“I’ll do it. I’m afraid that you won’t get used to it.” Shannon immediately went to make tea for Channing. Celia was anxious, but she didn’t dare to show it, so she had to go upstairs.

A few minutes later, Shannon entered Celia’s room. “Did you hear any bad news?”

Celia nodded and told Shannon everything the nanny had told her. “Mom is smart. She left such a nail on Rachel’s side. Otherwise, we don’t know anything now.”

“So you must keep your hands behind your back. When I asked Riya to stay, you didn’t agree.”

“Aren’t I afraid that things will get worse? She was also the one who knew the truth. If she accidentally exposed herself, what would she do?” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Celia answered. Back then, Riya had helped Amber with an abortion operation. On a business trip, she asked Riya to give Amber a sleeping pill and secretly took her to a small clinic for an abortion operation.
