Edgar changed his look and explained immediately, "That was a misunderstanding, Mr. Campbell. My wife just said it unintentionally. Please don't mind. I apologize to you for her." And then he pinched the back of her wife's hand violently. "Amber, say sorry now."
Amber was so hurt that she changed her look for a few seconds. And then she was a little overawed to look at the man offstage who had an imposing air, "Mr. Campbell, I'm sorry."
Freya stretched out to hold Austin's arm, "Let's go then! I hate staying here."
Hearing that, Austin turned his looks away from the stage. He stretched out and held Freya in his arms. And then they just left with the eyes of everyone.
Amber almost fell apart on the stage. She was still stunned at the moment. Austin was the father of Freya's child? How could it be?
Did Freya know Austin four years ago?
Edgar didn't expect that the wedding party would end in such a mess. He didn't care about offending the guests and just said to everyone, "My wife is tired and I'll just take her to her room for some rest. Please feel yourself at home."
And then he held her hand tightly and just walked towards the gate. He did not mean to feel sorry for her at all with his strength. As Amber wore a long evening dress, she followed him and tottered along the way. Her hand bones also hurt because of his pinch. However, in the presence of the audience, she still wanted to leave in an elegant manner. So a stiff smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. She didn't whisper to him until they were outside the gate, "Edgar, you hurt me."
The elevator door just opened at the moment. Edgar threw her inside a little hard and her back hit the wall because of which she let out a low cry of pain.
The door closed. His look was filled with coldness and he stared at her, "Look at what you had done tonight. You ruined both my face and reputation. What do you want exactly?"
He just said the last sentence to her in a low, roaring and menacing voice.
Amber's face was pale at the moment. She never thought that such an unexpected thing would happen as she lured Freya to the party and that the latter was backed by Austin.
"I..." Amber couldn't utter a word. She indeed asked Freya to come here and wanted to have a good laugh at the latter. If Amber's plan worked, Freya should have left in an awkward and disheveled manner.
"Did you know early that Freya had some kind of relationship with Austin? Did you just cause her trouble and hide that from me? Amber, do you know what you are doing?" Edgar yelled at her for the second time.
Immediately, her eyes became reddish about the rims. She looked up at him and said, "Don't I feel bad for this kind of thing that happened tonight? Why don't you comfort me and just scold me like that?"
Edgar stared at her. If she weren't his wife, he would have already slapped her on the face. His face darkened and he said, "Look, Amber, do you have any idea that Austin is taking away the business of the Dawson family? Do you know anything about that crisis? Well, you just know how to spend money and buy a lot. For the past four years, you have been doing nothing but spending money. What else can you do?"
Amber had always been proud. In the past few years, he had never treated her like that before, even though he found her annoying. But at the moment, she could only feel great grievances and humiliation rushing into her mind.
Edgar punched his fist on the elevator hard, making her tremble in fright. She was worried that his punch would cause the elevator to fall down.
Now he knew the reason why Austin would suddenly undercut his family. It must have something to do with Freya. How could she give birth to Austin's child? How could it be?
"Tell me, how old is Freya's child?" Edgar asked Amber who had a pale face.
"Over three years old." She bit her lip and answered him.
The elevator bell pinged and the door opened. Edgar came up with his face collapsing. He took out his room card to swipe a presidential suite and walked in.
Behind him, Amber bit her lip and followed him in.
"More than three years old?" He entered the room and thought about it carefully. Freya did go abroad as she got divorced. He had also checked it out and found no sign of her coming back. Then where did she meet Austin and give birth to the baby?
Suddenly, Amber widened her eyes. There was something she omitted. She said to Edgar with a trembling voice, "Edgar, four years ago, that man didn't go to Freya's room, as he said that another man had gone inside. Could he be Austin? What do you think? Well, Freya's child is over three years old. Wasn't she just pregnant four years ago?"
Hearing that, Edgar's look also changed a bit. Was Austin the one having sex with Freya, which was her first time doing so? His heart gave a horrible jolt.
How could it be so coincidental? To his surprise, was it Austin who slept with Freya? He immediately remembered that the Campbell family was still in turmoil four years ago. At that time, Austin and his two uncles were vying for inheritance rights. It was rather common to play tricks like scheming against or drugging someone.
No matter what the reason was, as Austin entered the room that night, it was a huge hidden danger for Edgar today. Freya was backed by the great Campbell family. Did it mean that she might take back her 15% stake which was his now, by relying on Austin?
"Was it really Austin? How could that bitch have such good luck and even give birth to his child? That is not fair." Amber sat on the bed. She was so angry that she stamped her feet.
At the moment, Edgar was in a right tizzy. He found the reason for offending Austin, but it was the last reason he wanted to know.
"Edgar, I'm sorry. I was wrong tonight. I shouldn't have lured Freya into here. Actually, I... I just wanted her to come and see how much we love each other... I want her to give up the idea of getting close to you. But I never expected that she would bring Austin here." Amber thought that Freya could dare to speak like that on stage only because she got Austin's support.
If Austin weren't there, how dared Freya go on stage?
However, in fact, even Freya did not know that Austin would suddenly appear.
"What a stupid idea. Do you know that offending Freya is not good for us at all, but has great harm instead? Austin starts to take away our business for her. How dare you do so?"
"How did I know about your business stuff? I knew nothing at all! I'm sorry, sorry..." She cried a lot with her tears streaming down her cheek. There were a few unsightly signs of tears showing up in her delicate makeup. He was rather annoyed as he saw them.
When he looked at her face, it reminded him of Freya's clean and elegant face. He had a strong regret that Austin had sex with Freya which was her first time doing so. How could it be?
If he hadn't just thought about her equity, he should have discovered her beauty. It was also a blessing even though he could just enjoy it a few times.
