Chapter 69
After breaking up with Amber, Rachel went to find Itzel angrily. “I’m so angry. This woman is really my nemesis. I didn’t get along well with her in the past. Now that I’m divorced, she’s still haunting me.”
“Drink some water and calm down first.” Itzel poured a glass of water for Rachel.
Rachel took the water and took a sip. After thinking for a while, she was still angry. “She doesn’t want money from me. She must want to get married to Rodney again. Rodney was also confused. He is a married woman with a child, but he is still a treasure. I’m so angry.”
“She’s deliberately going against you. In the past, she didn’t have the face to come back after giving birth to a child. Now that she’s purposely bringing her child back, she’s trying to get in your way. This woman is too bad. She knows that Rodney has her in his heart. She’s trying to provoke you and your mother to turn against each other!” Itzel’s expression was one of worry.
“Yes, this woman is really too bad. I can’t let her plot succeed. I have to find a way to get rid of her.”
“Is there any way?”
“Not yet.” Rachel had a headache. Although she had made harsh remarks to Amber, she did not think of any effective ways, so she came to Itzel. “Think about it for me and see how to deal with her.”
“In fact, this is very simple. She is now in a desperate situation. It will be easy for you to deal with her! Besides, she has a child, so we can find a way to deal with her.”
“Find a way to get rid of the child? Is that okay?”
“Why not? We’re not really going to hurt her child. We’re just threatening her with her child. It’s not easy for her to have a child. It must be her life. I don’t believe that she won’t yield at that time.”
“Well, I’ll go back and think about it.” Rachel couldn’t come up with any good idea, so she had to leave.
At the same time, Deon reported to Rodney, “Madam went to see Miss. Stone today. She seems very unhappy.”
“I got it.” Rodney shook the pen in his hand. He had expected that his mother would go to find Amber. With her temper, she would definitely say something unpleasant to Amber. If she wanted to be with Amber, her mother would be the biggest obstacle. However, he was not afraid now.
The biggest obstacle to him now was not his mother, but Amber. The first thing he needed to do was to let Amber get rid of the knot in his heart. In addition to Amber, there was also Celia.
He had never thought of getting engaged to Celia. It was his mother who had stirred it up.
Celia was gentle and kind, but Rodney didn’t love her, just because he felt guilty about her being pregnant. He once told Celia that he couldn’t forget Amber and wouldn’t fall in love with her, so that Celia would give up on him. But Celia said that she didn’t care, and she was willing to wait.
At that time, there was no news of Amber. When his mother saw that he was unwilling to be with Celia, so she went around to find a girlfriend for her, Rodney was very annoyed and finally acquiesced to Celia’s appearance.
Now that he wanted to get Amber back, he had to deal with Celia. If he didn’t mention the engagement date with the Black family, he and Celia were nothing. But now, since he had already agreed on the date, he couldn’t do it at will. Channing was the leader of a city, so he had to give him a reasonable explanation.
It was impossible to persuade Celia to take the initiative to break up, so they had to take another path. Channing and his wife only had such a daughter, so they would definitely not let a woman be wronged. Rodney had an idea.
A few days later, the major media in South City used a huge page to cover the scandal between Rodney and Kelsey. With the exposure of the scandal, the media began to dig out the affair between Rodney and Kelsey.
The relationship between Rodney and Kelsey had been going on for a long time. Some media had dug out that Rodney had gone to a hotel with Kelsey two years ago during the anniversary of the University of City.
Later, Rodney set up a love nest for Kelsey in the highest-class flower garden in South City. Every week, he would stay there for a day. The secret measures of the flower garden were very good, so Rodney and Kelsey had been together for more than two years.
It wasn’t until Kelsey’s birthday that the media photographed her at the hotel to celebrate her birthday. If it weren’t for the paparazzi following her all the way, they wouldn’t have known that Kelsey was Rodney’s secret lover.
As soon as the news was reported, it caused a stir. All the people who knew about it began to talk about it. There had been no progress between Rodney and Celia in the past three years. It turned out that there was someone outside.
Kelsey was beautiful and pure, and she was also a talented woman. No wonder Rodney couldn’t give up. If Celia wasn’t the secretary’s daughter, there would be no place for her to stay with him.
Seeing this news, Amber sneered several times. Sure enough, there had to be more. This Rodney was really addicted to cheating. She was looking forward to Celia’s reaction.
Celia was so angry that her eyes turned green when she saw the news. She knew Kelsey. In the past, she had seen Kelsey eat with Rodney. At that time, she was a little jealous when she saw the care and concern of Rodney for her.
Later, she didn’t find anything unusual, so she didn’t care about it anymore. But she didn’t expect that she was really Rodney’s lover. Thinking that Rodney would rather raise his lover than touch her, Celia couldn’t stand it.
However, she couldn’t go and question him, so she had to hide in the room and cry. Shannon didn’t believe that he would keep a mistress outside, so she opened the door and scolded him.
“This piece of news doesn’t show up sooner or later, but it’s very clear that it’s Rodney’s idea. He’s forcing you to make a choice. In order to make us take the initiative to break off the engagement, he’s really a troublemaker.”
After being reminded by her mother, Celia also came to her senses. This news happened too coincidentally. It seemed that it was really caused by Rodney.
After thinking it through, the mother and daughter decided to deal with all the changes without any change and see how Rodney would react.
When Rachel saw the report, she was so angry that she fainted. Now that her son’s lover had been exposed, it seemed that he was deliberately going against her. She didn’t mind her son raising a lover. It didn’t matter if she could raise a few more for the Barron family, but it was obvious that the identity of this lover was not real.
She was the one who raised Rodney. After living with him for so many years, she knew very well what kind of person he was. It was absolutely impossible for him to get rid of such a thing of keeping his lover. It seemed that he was trying to pave the way for Amber. No, she couldn’t watch things develop like this. She had to find a way out immediately.
Amber met Kelsey a week later. That day, it was the school celebration of the Silver Oak Academy. Elliot was invited as a guest, but Amber was dragged away by Elliot.
Elliot had a special identity, so the principal came to welcome him personally. When he entered the reception room, he found that Rodney was also there.
When he saw Elliot and Amber enter, a mocking smile appeared on his face. Amber could clearly see the sarcasm on the corners of his mouth. He thought that he would turn a blind eye to her and Elliot, but he did not expect that Rodney would actually stand up and greet them.
Amber lowered his eyes when he saw Elliot greeting him. She really didn’t understand the thoughts of these people in the business field. They didn’t like each other in their hearts, but they could still laugh so happily.
Of course, it was rare for the school anniversary to have literary performances. Of course, Elliot and Rodney were honored guests invited to the front row. Amber also sat in the front row naked.
There had never been a lack of talents in the Silver Oak Academy. Amber watched the artistic performance with great interest.
Later, the host reported, “Next, let’s welcome Ms. Kelsey, the talented girl of the South University, to perform a piece of Guzheng for everyone!”
As the applause rang out, Kelsey appeared beautifully on the stage in a cheongsam.
It had to be said that Kelsey was indeed beautiful, and her temperament was much better than Celia’s.
Elliot leaned in Amber’s ear and chuckled. “Kelsey is indeed a beauty of the mortal world. Rodney is so lucky!”
Amber glared at him and said in a low voice, “Why don’t you go after her if you like her? Mr. Thomson is such a playboy that he might win the heart of a beauty.”
“Although it’s a stunner, it’s not my dish. I still like people like you.” Elliot looked at Amber with a smile.
Amber glared at him. Elliot lowered his voice and said, “Rodney loves Kelsey very much now. He has taken her to various occasions many times. Do you think she wants to break up with your good sister?”
“How would I know?” Amber was not angry.
“Isn’t he afraid that he will annoy Channing? If Channing gets into trouble because of this, won’t he lose more than he gains?”
Amber sneered. “Why should he be afraid of Rodney, who has built the company so big and doesn’t rely on Channing?”
“Although he didn’t do it because of Channing, as the saying goes, people don’t fight officials. It’s definitely not a good thing for him to annoy Channing.”
“Why are you worrying about other people’s business?” Amber was impatient.
To tell the truth, she had seen that the talented and beautiful woman, Rodney and Kelsey, had thought that she was exaggerating by the media. However, when she saw the real person today, she found that the media was not exaggerating.
For some reason, Amber felt very uncomfortable. She remembered that a few days ago, Rodney had made a solemn vow to explain to her that he was so affectionate. Fortunately, she had already been hurt by him and did not choose to believe him, otherwise…
Looking at Amber and Elliot whispering together, Rodney was really upset. He tried hard to hold back the discomfort in his heart and stared at the stage.
In Amber’s eyes, he liked Kelsey’s performance to the extreme. She only felt uncomfortable again.
When Kelsey’s performance was over, someone went up to offer flowers. Kelsey took the flowers and went off the stage with a smile, but she came in the direction of Rodney.
Very quickly, she gracefully walked up to Rodney and passed the words in her hand to him. She naturally sat down beside him.
Just now, Amber had been wondering why there was an empty seat beside Rodney. It was only now that he realized that the seat was prepared for Kelsey.
He couldn’t help sneering in his heart. He didn’t know how Celia felt when she saw this scene.
She thought of Elliot and came over again. “Is there a reporter taking photos? Your sister will be very sad if she sees the report tomorrow!”
“Really? It’s good to be sad!” Amber smiled faintly. Celia used to be so keen on taking the position of the mistress. Now that another mistress had appeared, wouldn’t it be a reward in the present world?
She gloated in her heart and felt a gaze falling on her. When she looked over, she found that it was Kelsey.
Seeing Amber’s gaze, she smiled at him. Amber looked away and ignored her smile.
Although she admired Kelsey’s beauty very much, it did not mean that she agreed with her as a mistress.
She usually wouldn’t be nice to women who had no bottom line.
The next day, the news of Rodney and Kelsey naturally occupied the headlines again. Celia gritted her teeth.
Only Shannon was still calm. “Don’t panic. Rachel is involved in this matter. I don’t believe that she will watch her son make trouble like this.”
Shannon was right. Rachel would not allow Rodney to make trouble like this. That afternoon, Rachel led her people to break into Rodney’s golden apartment, smashing it into pieces. Kelsey was also beaten to a pulp.
It was said that she would have been beaten even harder if it hadn’t been for Rodney’s timely arrival. After Elliot described this matter vividly to Amber, she sneered a few more times.
She had experienced Rachel’s abilities. When she was in love with Rodney, she had suffered a lot of humiliation from her. It could be imagined how much insult Kelsey had suffered when she became a mistress.
Thinking of the slap on Kelsey’s delicate face, Amber felt a little regretful. “Is Kelsey’s face swollen now?”
She was still wrong. The next day, when someone invited Elliot to dinner, she saw Kelsey and Rodney again.
Kelsey was dressed in a pure and lovely manner. Her face was still snow-white and tender, and no wounds could be seen.
Amber thought that he was still worried that she would be disfigured, and now he inexplicably found it ridiculous.
