Falling in love with my ex wife novel (Amber and Jared)

Chapter 101

Chapter 101 Emotional Blackmail

“Chloe has always wanted to be acquitted, so she insists on appealing for the second trial, but the

result will not change. So she will still have to be detained. Her mother definitely came here to ask you

to drop the case.” Cole whispered in Amber’s ears.

Although his voice was low, Mrs. Mendez still heard it. She was a little embarrassed, “Miss Reed… Mr.

Lyon is

right. I’m here for this.”

“See, I got it right.” Cole spread his hands.

Amber rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Mrs. Mendez with a cold and distant smile, “I’m sorry, Mrs.

Mendez. I

won’t drop the lawsuit.”

Mrs. Mendez didn’t expect that Amber would refuse her so directly. Her face stiffened and she felt a

little upset.

But soon, Mrs. Mendez held back her unhappy face and pleaded, “Miss Reed, I know that Chloe has

gone too far this time, but she already knows that she is wrong, so can you…”

“No!” Amber interrupted her expressionlessly, “Mrs. Mendez, you said she knew she was wrong, but

why hasn’t she apologized to me yet? As her mom, since you know she was wrong, why didn’t you do

anything to make it up?”

“Exactly.” Cole put his hands behind his head and said leisurely, “The final trial is coming. Chloe is

going to be convicted. Now, you came to find Amber. But we still don’t see your sincerity. You wanna

ask Amber for forgiveness? Hypocrite! Are you not afraid of being laughed at by others?”

Mrs. Mendez clutched her bag tightly with both hands. Hearing this, she was embarrassed.

She originally thought that she would easily persuade Amber.

But she didn’t expect these two young people to be so merciless.

“Well, let’s go.” Amber didn’t want to entangle with Mrs. Mendez, so she said to Cole.

Just when the two were about to turn around, Mrs. Mendez suddenly grabbed Amber’s hand, “Miss

Reed, please, please forgive my daughter.”

Amber frowned and wanted to pull her hand back.

But Mrs. Mendez grabbed her tightly and didn’t let her go, “Miss Reed, for the sake of my begging,

please! As long as you agree to let her go, I will take her to apologize to you in person. Miss Reed,

please!”

“Mrs. Mendez, I’ve made it very clear just now that I won’t drop the lawsuit. It’s useless for you to beg

me. Could you please let me go?” Amber said impatiently.

As if Mrs. Mendez didn’t understand what Amber said, she just looked at her with a sad face, “Miss

Reed, are you really so unfeeling?”

“Amber is unfeeling? Chloe asked for it!” Cole snorted at her words.

But Mrs. Mendez ignored him and focused on Amber, “Miss Reed, I can kneel down to you as long as

you let

Chloe go!*

Saying that, she let go of Amber’s hand and dropped to her knees.

Both Amber and Cole were startled by her actions. After reacting, they quickly helped her up.

“Mrs. Mendez, don’t do this!” Amber rubbed her temples, feeling headache.

Cole also pouted, “Mrs. Mendez, this is emotional blackmail!”

If Amber didn’t agree with her, she would kneel down to beg. How preposterous. This was not only

emotional

blackmail, but also threat and compulsion.

Sure enough, she was Chloe’s mother. Like mother, like daughter! It was not surprising that Chloe

would become

like this.

Mrs. Mendez still ignored Cole. Seeing that Amber seemed to waver a little, she took advantage of it

and asked,

“Miss Reed, please!”

Amber said, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Mendez. I…”

Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Mendez broke free from Cole’s support and was about to get

down on her

knees again.

But this time, before Mrs. Mendez knelt down, she was helped up again.

It was not Cole or Amber, but Makenna.

Makenna pointed at Amber, and said indignantly, “Miss Reed, you are going too far. How can you let an

elder

kneel to you!”

Amber’s lips twitched.

Cole rolled his eyes, “Hey, hey, are you blind? When did she ask Mrs. Mendez to kneel? It’s Mrs.

Mendez who knelt

to her initiatively, okay?”

“Impossible.” Makenna looked incredulous.

Mrs. Mendez patted the back of her hand, “Makenna, he is right. I knelt down myself.”

“Auntie, why!?” Makenna looked at Mrs. Mendez in disbelief.

Mrs. Mendez’s face was full of sorrow, “For Chloe! As long as Miss Reed is willing to drop the lawsuit,

Chloe can

be free, so…”

“So you kneel down to her?”

“Yes.” Mrs. Mendez nodded, glanced at Amber, and wiped away her tears, “But Miss Reed refused

me.”

“I see.” Makenna pursed her lips, then looked at Amber disapprovingly, “Miss Reed, she’s already

down on her

knees to beg you, but you still rejected her. You are too cruel!”

“I’m cruel?” Amber raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ears, looking so poised, “When I refuse

to spare Chloe Mendez, you said I was cruel. But when Chloe created heinous and incendiary lies

about me, why didn’t you accuse her of being vicious?”

“I…” Makenna was choked, feeling a little embarrassed.

Cole sneered, “So Makenna, when you accuse Amber, think about whether you are in the rightor not.”

A trace of humiliation flashed in Makenna’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She bit her lip, “Even if

Chloe did something wrong at the beginning, she has been punished. There are so many people who

criticize Chloe on the Internet. Is it not enough? Besides, her mother knelt down to you. Can’t you

forgive her?”

“No!” Amber said coldly, “Why should I forgive her?”

“Yeah! She hurt Amber, but you guys didn’t ask her to apologize. Instead, you asked Amber to forgive

her. Amber is already very kind that she didn’t take revenge on her.” Cole put his hand around Amber’s

shoulders and said

sarcastically.

“By the way, I almost forgot it.” Amber stared at Makenna without any emotions in her eyes, “Miss

Gardner, Chloe

came to this point because of you, so the one who should save her is you.”

After saying that, she looked at Mrs. Mendez, “Mrs. Mendez, you might ask Miss Gardner for help

instead of me.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

After all, she is so kind and definitely willing to help you.”

“Bye.” Cole waved to the two of them and took Amber into the courthouse.

Makenna didn’t dare to look at Mrs. Mendez, “Auntie, I know Chloe did it for me, but…”

“Enough.” Mrs. Mendez wiped her tears and interrupted Makenna, “I know Chloe has asked you for

help, but your

hands are tied.”

Hearing this, Makenna was surprised. But then she heard Mrs. Mendez say again, “But I hope you can

stay away from Chloe in the future. It’s not suitable for Chloe to be your friend.”

“Auntie, what do you mean?” Makenna’s face turned pale and her voice trembled, “Are you blaming

me?”

Mrs. Mendez took a breath, “Yes, I’m blaming you. If you didn’t stop me just now, maybe Amber would

agree to let Chloe go when she saw I kneel down twice more. Now, because of you, everything is in

vain. So it is your responsibility that Chloe can’t be released.”

After speaking, she ignored Makenna and left directly.

Makenna’s pretty face was suddenly distorted.

She never thought that Mrs. Mendez would hate her just because she didn’t let her kneel down.

How dare such a woman from a small–time family hate her?
