Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) -
Chapter 606 Braylee's Ambition
Braylee stood motionlessly, clenching her fists while gazing at Jared and Amber. Her face was ferocious, her eyes bloodshot.
Amber could feel the evil intention and jealousy from her, frowning. She asked Jared, who was walking to her, "What have you talked to her?"
Jared didn't hide anything from her, repeating his conversation with Braylee earlier.
Upon hearing it, Amber sneered. "She has been so good at telling lies ever since she was a kid."
"That's her nature. No matter what she has experienced, it won't be changed," said Jared.
"I agree. She confused right and wrong in the past to gain all our father's attention and love. She wanted to make Dad misunderstand I was a bad child. Now, she does it for you. She has a crush on you." Amber raised her head, looking at Jared with a faint smile.
Jared felt awkward.
Of course, he could tell Braylee's purpose in approaching him.
Hence, he had already been sickened.
"All right. Let's stop talking about her. Come on. Aren't you starving?" Jared pressed the elevator button.
On the other side, Braylee watched them leave, almost burned down by the flame of jealousy in her heart.
She knew Amber had married into the Farrell family and what the family meant.
However, she hadn't paid much attention to the Farrell family as she heard that Amber's ex-husband disliked her. Besides, he was a bald, old man with a big belly. Hence, back in Country K, when Jonah Pratte called Jared Mr. Farrell, Braylee didn't associate Jared with Amber's ex-husband, the master of the Farrell family.
Now, she knew that the master of the Farrell family wasn't the bald old man in the rumors. Instead, he was extremely handsome.
Such a handsome, wealthy, and powerful man was exactly whom Braylee dreamed of having. She finally found a man to conquer.
Besides, Jared loved Amber. At this point, Braylee decided to steal him from Amber.
Anyway, she would steal everything belonging to Amber, including this man and Goldstone.
Thinking of that, Braylee raised her chin. She gazed in the direction where Amber and Jared had gone, her eyes full of determination.
On the other side, Jared took Amber to a restaurant.
He pulled the chair for her.
Amber took off her jacket and sat down.
Jared sat down opposite, passing her a menu. "Why did you keep Braylee Reed in Goldstone? Even you've given her five-point-five percent shares. You don't need to give her a position in the company, right?" "Right," Amber answered while browsing the menu, "I thought it would be better to watch her under my nose. If not, probably, she would vanish again."
"Why do you want to watch her?" Jared asked, filling their glasses with water.
Amber pressed her red lips. "Nichole suggested I do so. You know I keep Braylee Reed by my side to find the evidence that she has drugged Dad. Also, I want to give birth to a child."
"A child?" Jared frowned in confusion. He didn't understand what Amber wanted to do.
Amber closed the menu, looking at him. "In fact... I'm not my parents' biological daughter."
When Jared heard her words suddenly, his eye pupils shrank. His hand holding the water glass trembled, almost spraying the water.
"What did you say, Amber? Aren't you the Reed family's biological daughter?" Jared tightened his grip on the glass, gazing at her without a blink.
He wondered how she had to know it.
Had Amber known she was the Gardner family's daughter?
However, Jared denied it. If Amber had known it, she wouldn't be so calm..
Hence, Jared was puzzled.
Amber had no idea how shocked Jared was. She picked up the water glass and took a sip of water. Then she explained, "Right. I'm not their daughter. Their daughter passed away when she was four or five months old. I came to the Reed family after that. Surprised?"
"Hmm..." Jared cast down his eyes, nodding slightly. "Yes, I am."
"Are you?" Amber tilted her head to stare at him. "I don't feel how surprised you are, Jared."
Jared's eyes sparkled. The next second, he returned to normal. He put down the glass and answered in a low voice, "Nah. I'm indeed shocked, but I don't need to wear it on my face."
"All right." Amber shrugged and didn't suspect whether he was lying.
After all, she didn't think he needed to deceive her on this matter.
"By the way, how did you know you were not their daughter?" Jared took a sip of the water and asked tentatively.
He wondered if someone else knew her real identity and that person had told her.
If there was such a person, who was he?
Why did he tell Amber about it?
Jared slightly squinted, wondering if there was any conspiracy behind this matter.
Amber put down her glass and answered, "I didn't know about it earlier. Untie Lyon, Cole's mother, told me about it at the end of last month."
"Did Mrs. Lyon tell you?" Jared pressed his thin lips.
It turned out Mrs. Lyon had known it Amber wasn't the biological daughter of Hugo and his wife.
"What else has she told you?" Jared asked, staring at Amber.
Amber asked in confusion, "What else would she tell me?"
"I mean things about your biological parents." Jared rubbed the edge of the glass with his thumb.
Amber shook her head. "Nah. Untie didn't seem to know who my biological parents were. She said the Reed couples had adopted me from an orphanage."
"I see." Jared could tell that she wasn't lying, feeling relieved.
It seemed Mrs. Lyon also didn't know Amber's biological parents were the Gardner couple.
That was enough.
"By the way, why did you ask?" Amber looked at him in confusion.
Jared shook his head. "Nothing special."
"Alright." Amber didn't insist on asking, seeing that he was unwilling to explain.
However, Jared called her name, "Amber?"
Amber looked up at him. "What's?"
"Well... Since you are not the Reed couple's biological daughter, do you want to know who your biological parents are?" Jared cast down his eyes to cover the expression in them. "Or, have you thought of looking for them?"
"Cole also asked me the same question earlier. I told him I didn't want to know nor look for them." Amber spun the glass in her hand with a calm smile. Jared stared at her. "Why not?"
"It's inappropriate," Amber put down the glass, cupped her chin, and answered, "If I were only a teenager, I would want to know or try to find my biological parents. I would like to ask them why they had dumped me. However, I'm almost thirty. I won't do it. No matter what made me appear in the orphanage, it only meant I had no fat with my biological parents. I'm destined to be the daughter of the Reed family."
"Really..."
"Yep. If I become persistent in looking for my biological parents after knowing my identity, it will be unfair for my foster parents who have brought me up."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
