Chapter 88
Chapter 88
She had never thought that Amber would come to her house to make trouble. The child was indeed not carried away by her, but when she saw Amber barge into her house aggressively to question Rachel, she suddenly had an idea.
Amber was hot-tempered and determined that she wouldn’t give in if she took her son away. As long as she irritated Amber and made him do something irrational to her, she would be able to get rid of this thorn in her side by forcing him to make a choice.
Therefore, she didn’t explain that she only went to anger Amber and even hit her. Sure enough, Amber was so mad that he almost strangled her to death.
Now that they had made such a scene openly, Rachel naturally wanted to go all the way to the underworld. Seeing her son remain silent and even defend Amber so that he could only ask Amber to apologize, she was extremely angry and hated him to the extreme.
So she grabbed Amber and wanted to force her son to make a choice in person, but she didn’t expect that she would be slapped in the face by Amber. At that time, she felt dizzy because of anger, so she let Amber and Noemi run away.
However, at that time, she was not unconscious. She saw her son’s anxiety. It seemed that her son was not so cold-blooded. She also had a mother in her heart. When pretending to faint, she had already thought about sending Amber to jail to force her son to make a choice and let him and Amber get engaged to Celia.
But she never dreamed that Celia would say that she had broken up with her son. When she thought that everything she had painstakingly done would be ruined, Rachel was really dizzy.
It was already midnight. Shannon had been waiting in the living room anxiously for her daughter to come back. Her daughter had not come back yet to show that things had gone on according to her
plan. She was the one who asked people to take Mel away. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Rachel had threatened Amber with Mel before. If he carried Mel away at this time, Amber would definitely suspect Rachel. Rachel was not a good person. She would definitely seize this opportunity to sing a good show.
However, she was not sure whether the play was going in the direction she had set. Finally, she heard the sound of the door opening. When she saw Celia, Shannon came up to her and asked, “How is it going?”
“Mom, let’s talk in our room.” The mother and daughter entered the room and closed the door. Celia told her what had happened today to Shannon.
Shannon gave her daughter a thumbs-up and said, “Good job! You just need to adapt to the situation and look for a chance to live at any time. Even if that little b*tch is sure that you deliberately stepped on her, she can’t do anything about it. But Rachel didn’t suspect that you pushed her to be slapped, did she?”
“No, it was so chaotic at that time. She didn’t expect that I would push her to be slapped. I thought that Rodney would give Amber a slap when he saw Amber slap Rachel. In this way, Amber would be disheartened. But I didn’t expect that he didn’t do anything. It’s really annoying.”
Shannon sneered and said, “Rodney is so filial! That woman has already hit his mother, but he can still bear it.”
“Yes, I didn’t expect him to be able to endure it. But Mom, I think he has reached his limit.”
Just now, he had sent Rachel to the hospital with Rodney. Rodney’s expression was terrifyingly cold. A person’s tolerance was limited. Rodney allowed Amber to make trouble at home and tolerate Amber beating Rachel, but he would no longer tolerate it endlessly.
“Really?” Shannon sneered. “It’s not only because he loves Amber, but also because he feels guilty. Amber has suffered so much, so he has to make it up to you. But he forgot that my daughter has also suffered a lot for him. This time, he has to make it up to you.”
“Mom, will he compensate me?”
“Yes! Just do as I say!” Shannon whispered to Celia, who nodded.
Mel’s high fever did not dissipate, and Amber was very anxious. During this period, he woke up once. “Mom, a bad guy took me away and pushed me into the stinking ditch. I screamed for help desperately, and then a kind uncle came to save me.”
Amber was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Rachel, the old b*tch, dared to say that she didn’t do it. How could someone else hurt a three-year-old child when she had no grievances with others?
It must have been Rachel who had sent someone to do it. Her goal was to force Rodney and her to turn against each other. No wonder that old bitch would provoke her like that.
If something happened to Mel, she swore that she would never let go of this old b*tch!
Mel fell asleep again. Amber stood in front of the hospital bed and felt anxious, but Celia called him. “Sister, shall we meet?”
“What are you doing?” Amber was not angry.
“I have something very important to tell you.”
“There’s no empty space!”
“It’s about the child. If you don’t come, you will regret it. I’ll wait for you in the tea room near the hospital.” Celia finished her words and hung up the phone.
Amber heard that she had something to do with Mel, so he asked Ashton to help look after Mel. He went to the tea room near the hospital and saw Celia. Seeing her come in, Celia stood up. “Is there anything wrong with the child?”
“No.” Amber sat down. “What important matter?”
Celia carefully looked at Amber’s face. “Sister, are you okay? The situation yesterday really scared me. Ms. Grant has a bad temper. If you can make her happy, don’t go against her. If she does something extreme, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
“The consequences are unimaginable!” Amber sneered. “Isn’t Rachel threatening me with her child? I’m telling you, if anything happens to my child, I won’t let her go!”
“Not just threatening you with a child.” Celia acquiesced in Rachel’s kidnapping of Mel. “After you left last night, Rodney had a big fight with Ms. Grant. Ms. Grant asked the police to arrest you. It was Rodney and I desperately stopped her, so we didn’t do it…”
“Are you so kind?” Amber interrupted her.
“Sister, your misunderstanding of me is too deep. I have never hurt you. I have never hurt you.”
“Celia, you are really thick-skinned. You clearly know that Rodney is my man, but you still tried your best to have a baby with him. Didn’t you hurt me when you were having an affair with me behind my back?”
“Sister, you misunderstood us. Rodney and I are not what you think,” Celia explained.
“Back then, you didn’t have a child, and Ms. Grant was so cruel to you. Dad and Mom were worried about you, so they asked me to give birth to a child for you so that they could maintain the marriage
between you and Rodney. I didn’t agree at first, but mom said that she was sorry and asked me to compensate you for her, so I had to agree…”
“What did you say? It was all Channing and Shannon’s idea?” Amber was stunned. How could Channing and Shannon come up with such a disgusting idea? He couldn’t imagine it. “How could they be so shameless?”
“Dad and Mom were also worried about you, so they came up with this idea. Sister, Rodney and I gave birth to a baby just for you. Our original intention was all because of you!”
“For me? Celia, do you think I’m a fool?” Amber recovered from the shock. She didn’t believe Celia’s words at all.
Celia had seen Rodney’s feelings very clearly back then. “Do you think others can’t see through your feelings for him? What do you mean by saying that it’s for my own good? Do you dare to say that you want to take the opportunity to become Barron’s wife? You’re as shameless as that bitch’s mother! You want to take the position of the third party.”
“Sister, you can’t insult my mother like this. She did it for your own good, so she sacrificed me to help you.”
Celia argued, “I do love Rodney, but I have always hidden this love in my heart. I am willing to give birth to a child for him and do anything for him, but I have never thought of replacing your position. Sister, I am really not as bad as you think!”
She had shamelessly said in front of him that she loved Rodney and that she was willing to give birth to a child for him. Amber was extremely angry.
“I have my own eyes. Celia, this trick of yours can only deceive those who are blind, but you can’t deceive me. You and your mother are the same kind of people. You are selfish and unscrupulous,
doing anything to achieve your goal. What are you doing for me, what are you doing to protect my marriage? In that case, why are you engaged to Rodney?”
“Ms. Grant forced me. Rodney and I never thought about getting engaged. Rodney has been waiting for you. Later, you didn’t come back and Ms. Grant forced you, so we were forced by the situation,” Celia explained pitifully.
“Sister, I asked you to come here today just to explain it to you. Rodney has you in his heart. I have decided to leave him. You can be with him!”
“Ha! You’re really good at defending yourself!” Amber sneered. He was forced to do anything. Was he forced to go to bed?
Whether Celia was telling the truth or not, it had nothing to do with her. The harm she had suffered could not be eliminated with a few words of explanation.
“Since you love that disgusting and dirty man full of lies, and since you are willing to do anything for him, you can stay with him. I, Amber, don’t need others to help me!”
After saying that, she got up and left. Celia stepped forward and stopped her. “Sister! Please forgive me. Please forgive Rodney. We didn’t cheat. We really didn’t cheat!”
“Let go!” Amber glared at Celia.
“No! If you don’t forgive Rodney, I won’t let go!” Celia held Amber’s hand tightly.
When she saw a tall figure appear outside, her expression turned even more solemn. “Sister, I beg you! Go back to Rodney! The person he loves has always been you!”
“Don’t call me sister! I’m not your sister!” Amber interrupted her. “Celia, it’s all in the past. You don’t have to hypocritically say these things, and don’t bring up such disgusting words. As the saying goes, a good horse doesn’t eat grass at the end of the road. Rodney has been eaten by someone. No matter how cheap I am, I won’t use a man who has been used by others!”
Celia grabbed Amber’s clothes tightly and didn’t let go. She said that she was grabbing Amber’s clothes, but she grabbed the flesh on his body tightly and twisted it hard. Amber felt a sharp pain in his heart from being grabbed by her, so he couldn’t bear it and pushed her away.
Celia couldn’t help but fall to the ground when she was pushed by her. She happened to hit her head on the corner of the table, and blood immediately flowed out.
“Amber, what are you doing!” Rodney strode in and helped Celia up. He heard that Celia had come to see Amber and was worried about the conflict, so he immediately rushed over.
When he came here, he happened to hear Celia begging Amber to come back to him. However, Amber had been scolding him for being disgusting and saying that he would go back on his word. He felt as sad as a needle in his heart.
In the end, when he saw Amber fiercely push Celia away, he could no longer wait outside. Seeing the blood on Celia’s forehead, Rodney glared at Amber and said fiercely, “How can you be so vicious! She is your sister, your sister!”
“Sister? The daughter of a mistress is also a sister?” Amber’s heart ached when he saw Rodney’s concern for Celia.
Three years ago, he was so heartless to her. Three years later, he treated her with gentle care. Thinking that his son was now suffering from illness because of Rachel in the hospital, Amber hated him even more.
“Rodney, go back and tell your disgusting mother that if anything happens to my son, I will make her pay with her life!”
“Amber, don’t go too far!” Rodney was enraged as well. She had rushed home to make trouble and hit her mother. Although he had endured it, he had always felt uncomfortable. When he heard that Amber had attacked his mother again, he could no longer remain silent.
“I owe you, but it doesn’t mean that I can let you insult my mother without a bottom line!”
“I’m going too far? I’m insulting your mother!” Amber laughed heartily. “Rodney, you’ll regret it! I swear you’ll regret it!” She strode away after saying that.
