Chapter 81
Amber went out of the coffee shop and received a call from Elliot. “Where are you?”
“I’m going to see Noemi.” She lied.
“Why didn’t you call me and tell me that I made a trip in vain?” Elliot’s voice was full of complaints.
“I’m sorry, I forgot when I left in a hurry.” She apologized, but Elliot ignored her. “I’m going back to the company. See you later.”
After hanging up the phone, Amber got into a taxi. It was the rush hour of work. There were many cars on the road, so she was blocked halfway. Fortunately, the boss was Elliot. She was late, so she was not afraid of being scolded. Thinking of Elliot, Amber had a sweet smile on his face.
A familiar voice sounded. “When will it be blocked?”
Amber turned his head and found Itzel.
Itzel used to be the attending doctor of her company. In order to cure her disease, she often dealt with her. At that time, because she often appeared in Itzel’s office, the people who went to see her thought that she was Itzel’s daughter and said that she and Itzel looked alike.
Amber also felt strange about the resemblance between him and Itzel. She and Itzel didn’t know each other and didn’t have any blood relations, but she saw a similar look on her face. To be more exact, she saw a similar look on her mother’s face.
Because she naturally developed a feeling of intimacy with Itzel. She firmly believed Itzel’s words and had never switched to another doctor.
“Didn’t Itzel work in City A? Why did she come to South City?”
Itzel did not notice Amber. She was complaining to the man beside her. Amber was shocked when he saw the man beside Itzel. Wasn’t this Elliot’s father?
How could Elliot’s father be with Itzel? Could it be that Itzel was the woman who had made Elliot’s father abandon his wife and son?
There was indeed such a possibility. Itzel was so old but still charming. When she was young, she must be a great beauty and had the capital to attract men’s attention.
Amber, who originally had a feeling of being close to Itzel, disappeared at this moment. She had never had a good impression of the mistress.
When they returned to the company, Elliot was talking to Deon. When he saw her coming in, they stopped talking. Deon stood up and left. Elliot said in a complaining tone, “If you don’t come, I’ll go out and look for her.”
“There’s a traffic jam on the road.” Amber smiled.
“Come here. I have something to tell you.” Elliot waved his hand. “Breanna has come to South City. She came yesterday. I think she will come to you. If she wants to see you, remember to tell me.”
“You’re too late. She’s already looking for me,” Amber replied.
“Didn’t you say you were going to see Noemi? How dare you lie to me.” Elliot raised his eyebrows and was about to lose his temper.
“I was worried that you would be worried.” Amber reached out to hold Elliot’s hand. Her initiative immediately put out Elliot’s fire. He held Amber’s hand and asked, “What did she say to you?”
“Do you really want to hear it?” Amber raised his eyebrows and looked at Elliot with a faint smile. “She told me about your love story and let me, your mistress, to fulfill your childhood sweetheart love.”
“Amber, I don’t have any childhood sweetheart love with her. You must have a firm standpoint!” Elliot was a little anxious.
“If I believe her, will I stand in front of you and talk to you?” Amber glared at him. Elliot laughed after thinking about it, but he still told Amber, “Don’t believe what others say. No one can believe it. Everyone except me will lie to you, understand?”
Amber nodded. “I understand! I’m waiting for you to give me happiness!” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Thinking of the scene of Itzel she saw on her way here, she couldn’t help but ask, “Elliot, do you know Itzel?”
“I don’t know her,” answered Elliot. In an instant, he sneered. “But I’ve heard that she’s the woman who made my father abandon his wife and son!”
“Is it really her?” Amber was stunned.
Kelsey thought that Amber would retreat when Breanna made a move, but things were not what she thought. Amber and Elliot were still in the honey, but Breanna chose to go back without saying a word. It seemed that she had returned with nothing this time.
Kelsey couldn’t help but have a headache. She had already done what Rodney had done. What should she do now?
At the same time, Rodney also learned about Breanna’s visit to South City. When he heard that Breanna and Amber had left immediately after meeting, he was very surprised.
When he heard that Breanna had come to South City, he was very worried about Amber. After all, Amber was often humiliated by Breanna because of Pierce.
He thought that Amber would be bullied to the point that he couldn’t fight back like Breanna, but in the end, Breanna left in disgrace.
It was obvious that Amber didn’t let Breanna get any benefits. Rodney was very surprised. How could Amber have such a big change?
He remembered what had happened in the past. At that time, in order to separate Pierce and Amber, Madam Hammond chose to give in as soon as she appeared. Why was she so tough this time?
“And isn’t Amber the man who hates love the most? Why does she have a crush on Elliot? Why?”
Rodney frowned and his heart was in turmoil. He knew very well that Elliot’s position in her heart could not be shaken.
He felt a sharp pain in his heart. It was not only painful, but also very disappointed. Was he just going to watch her marry Elliot and do nothing with him?
While Rodney was feeling dejected over this matter, Deon walked in. “Remington has arrived in South City!”
To think that Remington would personally step in. Rodney was both glad and worried.
Fortunately, Remington finally couldn’t sit still. He was worried that Remington was cunning and didn’t know how to deal with Amber. Amber had such a strong self-esteem and was straightforward. How could she be a match for Remington?
Remington didn’t inform Elliot when he came to South City. He stayed in an ordinary hotel in a low profile and called Amber that night.
The old man’s voice was very kind. “I’m Elliot’s grandfather. I want to see Miss. Stone. When will it be convenient for you?”
Amber was very surprised to receive his call. As soon as Breanna went back, the Old Master rushed over. The violent reaction of the Thomson family was really extraordinary. She replied, “Anytime.”
“In that case, let’s do it now.”
Amber went to the old man’s tea room. Two bodyguards stood at the door. When they saw Amber, they politely pushed the door open. “Miss. Stone, please!”
Amber entered the room and saw the old man sitting on the sofa at a glance. He was about 60 years old, but Amber knew that he was 70 years away.
The old tutor had features that were very similar to Elliot’s. However, he wasn’t as amiable as Elliot. Instead, he gave others a sense of alienation.
When he heard the voice, the old man looked up at Amber. He had seen Amber’s photo a long time ago, but at this moment, when he saw the real person, he secretly cheered.
No wonder her grandson loved her so much. If she had not been divorced and had not had such an identity, she would have been worthy of her grandson.
Amber nodded to his father. The old man had a slight smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. “Miss. Stone, please sit down!”
Amber sat opposite the old man. The waiter came in with tea and left. The old man picked up the cup and took a sip. “Miss. Stone, are you from the native Southern City?”
“Yes,” Amber replied.
“What’s the relationship between Miss. Stone and Ashley?”
“She’s my mother.” Amber looked at the old man subconsciously. How did he know his mother’s name?
“Oh! I wonder if Elliot has told Miss. Stone about our family.” The old man’s voice was still as kind as ever.
“I’ve told you something.”
“Then you must know that Elliot has no fatherly love since he was a child, right? What does Miss. Stone think of this?”
“I’m very sympathetic.” Amber didn’t know what the old man was going to say.
He must have wanted her to leave Elliot, but why didn’t he talk about the subject? The old man wouldn’t be so boring. He must have some purpose in saying these words. Amber became more and more careful.
“The woman who made Elliot lose his father’s love is also born in South City. It’s strange that her name is exactly the same as Miss. Stone’s mother. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence.” The old man slowed down.
Amber was stunned. In her impression, her mother and her father had always been in love. Moreover, her mother had passed away when she was only ten years old. How could she have anything to do with Elliot’s father?
Her doubt was just a faint answer. “Maybe it’s a coincidence.”
“I have a photo of Elliot’s father and that woman. I would like to invite Miss. Stone to have a look.” The old man took out a photo from nowhere and put it on the table.
The photo was a little yellow. Obviously, it was because of the long shoot time. Amber picked up the photo and only took a look at it. Her face suddenly changed. “How is it possible?”
The handsome man in the photo was Elliot’s version, and she recognized the woman in his arms as her mother at a glance. Seeing that her face changed greatly, the old man asked calmly, “Does Miss. Stone know this woman?”
“Is there a mistake?” Amber was in a mess. She remembered what Elliot said. He was a married woman.
But how could her mother have an affair with Elliot’s father? And the photo in her hand was so clear. It was indeed her mother’s photo.
“No! Impossible! There must be a mistake!” In her memory, her mother loved her father so much. How could she have an affair with another man? Amber did not believe it.
“These are all facts. Elliot’s father abandoned his wife and son because of your mother. When he left, Elliot was still very young. No matter what method I used, he refused to look back. Later, your mother died in a car accident, but he still refused to look back.” The old man sighed deeply.
“It must be a mistake. My mother can’t be having an affair with someone else. It must be a mistake!”
Amber muttered to himself. He suddenly remembered seeing Elliot’s father with Itzel. “Elliot’s father doesn’t like my mother. He likes a woman who looks like my mother. Her name is Itzel. She’s a doctor. A few days ago, I saw her and Elliot’s father appearing together!”
“Don’t tell me that Miss. Stone doesn’t even know her own mother? As for Itzel you’re talking about, she’s indeed not my father’s. But do you know why? Elliot’s father is with her only because she looks like your mother.”
Amber didn’t understand, but the photo was a fact. The mother in the photo was indeed his mother. She and Elliot’s father hugged each other intimately.
Amber closed his eyes in pain. The person that Elliot hated the most was his mother. How could it be like this?
