Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 95

Sure enough, they didn’t guess wrong. After Celia put down the phone, Zoe asked flatteringly, “Is it your mother-in-law?”

Celia nodded, and the smile on her face was half gone. She couldn’t lose the bid of the sports meeting again. Otherwise, Rachel wouldn’t give her a good face. She had to find a way to keep her father from being partial to Amber.

Amber ate the food in front of her quietly, and her heart was also churning. She was very clear about the intentions of Rachel and Celia. If it weren’t for her, she would definitely have fallen on Rodney. This time, as compensation, Channing would definitely be partial to Rodney, and she would never let Rodney and Rachel be so proud.

Her son was seriously ill and had been suffering from illness at such a young age. How could she let Rodney and Rachel live happily? She had to fight for this sports meeting.

When she returned to the Black family in the evening, everyone was waiting for her to have dinner. Amber washed his hands and sat down at the table. Shannon gave her a piece of pork rib with a smile, but Amber didn’t appreciate it and directly blocked it.

Shannon was not angry. She continued to smile and continue to pick up food for Amber. Although she was rejected, she was laughing in her heart. Amber was too young. Doing this would only increase Channing’s sympathy for her. He thought that she was hard to be a stepmother. As long as Channing’s sympathy for her increased, his guilt for Amber would be reduced. At that time, Amber would cry.

Sure enough, when he saw Amber block the dishes that Shannon had given him for the third time, Channing couldn’t help saying, “Amber!”

“What’s wrong?” Amber looked at Channing innocently.

“Shuen is picking up food for you. How can you…”

“I don’t like the dishes she picked up. Besides, why bother others with what she can do?”

After saying that, Amber turned to look at Shannon. There was a smile on her face, but her eyes were cold.

“So, Mrs. Black, please don’t do meaningless performances. This kind of performance can only fool the weak. Anyone with a little IQ knows that the mistress will not really marry a good daughter.”

It was obvious that Shannon was performing. Channing frowned slightly, and his sympathy for Shannon suddenly disappeared. It was true that he knew that Amber was unhappy, but he still picked up food several times.

“Amber, don’t go too far!” Celia naturally couldn’t bear to see Amber humiliate her mother like this.

“Am I wrong?” Amber sneered. “If Shannon isn’t a mistress, aren’t you an illegitimate daughter? Why don’t I invite someone to talk about your relationship with Mr. Black and see what others say?”

Celia was speechless all of a sudden. Although Shannon had been saying that she had a deep affection for Channing at that time, and she couldn’t control herself, she could only lie to herself. Even a fool knew that when she was still a wife, she was a mistress with the husband of another woman, and as the so-called daughter of the secretary, she was an illegitimate daughter.

Shannon’s face turned pale, and her hand, which was holding the chopsticks, was trembling. She was humiliated in front of her daughter. This kind of humiliation was really unbearable for ordinary people, but in the end, she just lowered her head and said nothing.

Channing’s face was also red and pale for a while. What happened between him and Shannon was not his original intention, but what was the point of saying these things? His daughter had misunderstood

him for a long time. He had endured the harsh words that were worse than this, so he could not be angry now.

On the contrary, Shannon’s patience made Channing very satisfied. Amber was full of anger now, so he had to have a time to vent. As long as Shannon could bear it, Amber would be influenced no matter how unruly he was.

The smell of gunpowder on the table finally calmed down because of Shannon’s patience. Because of this, Amber was not in the mood to eat again. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to the living room.

Channing and Shannon naturally couldn’t eat, so the meal ended so hastily.

Amber didn’t just want to anger Shannon and her daughter tonight. She didn’t go upstairs and sit in the living room because she had something to talk to Channing. So when she saw Channing coming out of the restaurant, she said directly, “I have something to tell you!”

“What’s the matter? Let’s go to the study.” Channing meant that Amber’s words could not be said in front of Celia and her daughter.

Amber didn’t appreciate it. “Just say it here.”

Shannon and her daughter also came. They were going to go back to their rooms after being humiliated so much, but when they heard Amber’s words, they changed their target and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Channing saw Shannon and her daughter sitting opposite Amber. “What’s the matter?”

Amber said, “What I want to say is about the sports meeting. I hope you can continue to be fair and square in this bidding. Don’t go against your own interests!”

Celia couldn’t help saying, “Dad, you promised me. I’ve already told Rodney and Ms. Grant.”

Channing had a hesitant look on his face. “Amber, I’ve already promised Jin Tao about this.”

Amber sneered. “Mr. Black, you’re funny. Is South City your home? How dare you give a project of tens of billions to anyone you want? Do you deserve to be a secretary?”

“I’m not a veteran, it’s just that the Barron Enterprises has such strength…”

“Isn’t the Barron Enterprises powerful enough to have other companies?” Amber interrupted him. “After the last auction of the company’s construction last time, do you still think that there is only one company in South City?”

“This…” Channing was also in a dilemma. Indeed, the strength of the Parableutions was only higher than that of the Barron Enterprises. Although the capital of the Parableutions could not be ruled out if it wanted to draw the company over to invest, the bidding of the Parableutions was indeed on par with that of the Barron Enterprises.

“Sister, you can’t be so greedy. I’ve already taken care of you last time when the company was built. You can’t do the same this time.” Celia interrupted.

“Ms. Black, you are mistaken. Last time, the bid was carried out fair and square. It is true that the Parableutions got the company’s development. Of course, if Mr. Black was willing to help Mr. Barron last time, the company’s development would not fall into the hands of the Parableutions.”

“That’s because of you,” Celia said resentfully.

Amber ignored Celia and looked at Channing. “I also want to continue the fair principle of the last sports meeting. If I know that Mr. Black has any other actions in this bidding, I will report it to the Discipline Inspection Committee!”

These words made Shannon and her daughter’s faces change. Amber was not afraid of wearing shoes. She was used to living a poor life, and she had never thought that she could live with Channing’s care.

However, the mother and daughter were different. If Channing had not been affected by this matter, it meant that their good days would have fallen. They knew what it would mean without the glory of the secretary.

“Amber, what do you mean?” Celia couldn’t stand Amber’s blatant threat to Channing. Her face was full of unwillingness and anger. “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

“Ms. Black, tell me why I did it on purpose.” Amber looked at Celia sarcastically. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Because Rodney and I are engaged, you are jealous. You can’t bear to see us being good!” Celia was so angry that she didn’t care about anything. She only promised Rachel at noon to let Rachel rest assured. What was Amber’s intention this evening?

“You’re right. I really can’t bear to see you two!” Amber sneered. “Do you really think that I’ll bless you two adulterouss? Let me tell you, I wish you two a terrible death!”

Celia’s face was pale. She looked at Channing for help and said, “Dad!”

Channing’s face darkened and he didn’t say a word. When he saw Amber’s expression, he remembered how pitiful she had been when she had left the family after being cleansed by Rodney. Amber was his daughter, so how could his heart not ache when he had been bullied like this? The ruthlessness of the Barron family was obvious to all. Amber’s hatred was justified.

“Dad, you can’t just let my sister do whatever she wants. If she were to target us like this for the rest of her life, would you still want to do business with Rodney?”

“Celia!” Shannon, who had not spoken for a long time, stopped her daughter and looked at Amber. “Amber, let your father help the Thomson family in this sports meeting. I will explain to the Barron family. But after this, we will no longer owe you anything. Let’s go…”

“Mrs. Black!” Amber interrupted her. “I don’t know if there’s anything wrong with your comprehension ability. Did I say that I wanted Mr. Black to help the Parableutions? No, I don’t think so.”

Shannon blushed. Indeed, Amber didn’t say anything about Channing’s help at all. Amber sneered.

“I’ll review it. I’m not some person. In the name of the secretary, I’m doing those shameful things everywhere. I’m here tonight to remind the secretary not to compete with me. I’ll compete with you as much as possible in this sports meeting. If there’s a conflict between you and me, I’ll report it to you without hesitation!”

After saying this, she got up and went upstairs. The living room fell into silence. Channing just stood up and said, “Amber is right. South City is not my home. I have no right to decide who to compensate privately. This matter will be fairly competed.”

Celia’s face was pale. “But I’ve already promised Ms. Grant. Dad, please help me, just this once.”

“No way!” Channing firmly refused. “It’s still the same old saying. Then, it’s only because of me that Rodney is engaged to you. Then there’s no need to get married! I, Channing, won’t want a shameless person like you to be my son-in-law!”

Celia still wanted to beg, but Shannon grabbed her arm and pinched her. She knew what to do. Channing just got up and went to the study, while the mother and daughter went to Celia’s bedroom.

“Mom, how could Amber, the little b*tch, be so hateful!” Celia, who closed the door, looked ferocious and spoke without any scruples.

“If you were robbed of your husband, how could you stand it?” Shannon asked.

Celia replied, “Of course not. I will make her wish she was dead.”

“That’s right! There’s nothing wrong with Amber doing this. The more she does this, the less likely she will have anything to do with Rodney. Think about it, what kind of impact will it have if we tell the public about Amber’s words?”

“That’s right? If Rodney and Rachel knew that Amber was behind all of this, they wouldn’t hate her to death. That way, I wouldn’t have to worry about Rodney remaining in love with Amber.” Celia became happy. “I’ll tell Ms. Grant what happened tonight!”
