This was why.

Amber let out a sigh of relief.

She literally thought this man can was capable of mind reading.

She put the strand of hair that fell off back to her ear and stared at Connor and asked, "Master Connor, you are indeed unlike what (have imagined. I didn't picture you to be so amicable, so I just wondered for a while. I'm sorry"

At the same time, she was perfectly clear that her words were just polite greetings for this man's appearance can be pretty deceptive and she knew what he really was under this sweet face.

Amicable?

Nah! He was just faking it.

However, she was less nervous when she was in front of him for his deceitful appearance.

Connor acted like he didn't hear Amber's polite greeting and waved his hand smilingly, "It's okay. i'm the one who should be saying sorry. I really have spoiled my assistant who is condescending to everyone now. I want to apologize for his rudeness to you before."

Then he meant to bow to Amber.

Amber hurriedly stopped him, "Master Connor, please don't do this. You are my senior and I can't let you do this"

If she wasn't afraid that this man would avenge her over this bow, she would never have stopped it.

She was perfectly clear that a man as powerful as this, though he apologized to her and proposed to bow to her, he was just putting on a show.

If she didn't stop him, he would just hate her more after this bow though he was smiling outside.

To him, he was just saying it to bow to her, but if she really let him do that, it would be her mistake and she would be instantly begrudged against by him.

As expected, Connor's smile deepened after Amber stopped him.

He stood up straight and chuckled, "Ms. Reed sure respects elderlies like me."

Amber forced a smile, "Thank you, master Connor. I'm not as good as you would give credit to me."

The hell would she respect him if it wasn't for that she didn't want to get into any trouble.

As long as she thought that this man betrayed Jared's mother, she loathed him even if they didn't have any differences.

"You don't have to be so modest, Ms. Reed. I am simply stating the truth here." Connor was still smiling.

Amber slightly frowned looking at his gentie and sweet face for she suddenly realized that this man's sweetness was pretty familiar.

Though a lot of people were gentle and she had met many of them before, as people differed, she didn't think their gentle nature was the same.

However, though this was the first time she met Connor, she felt that the amicability that he presented reminded her of someone she knew before.

Who was it then?

Amber compressed her lips and wrapped her brain to search for this person in her mind.

Soon, a young boy who looked still innocent in a white shirt surfaced to her mind and she opened her mouth in shock.

Rh was Jared.

The man that she thought of was Jared!

Amber hurriedly looked at Connor and tried to compare him with the young and sweet Jared in her memory and it turned out that their vibe really was the same.

Two people's vibe cannot be same unless one of them was groomed just like the other.

It was impossible for Connor to be nurtured like Jared as he was twenty years older than Jared.

It was obvious that Jared was raised up to be like Connor's temperament.

It was better to nurture one's temperament from when he was little, so it can only be Jared's grandma, father and mother who got to groom Jared.

Jared's grandma and father would never raise him to be like someone else and moreover, it was Connor.

To Jared's grandma, Connor was a vile person who bewitched her daughter-in-law and to his father, Connor was a block that prevented him and his wife to really bond together.

They would never groom Jared like Connor for they hated his guts.

Therefore, it can only be Jared's mother who did this.

The reason why she did this was that she was in love with Connor and didn't get to see him, so in order to save herself

from wallowing in her affection for Connor, she raised his son just like him.

If she guessed it right, Jared then...

Amber took a gasp and suddenly got upset and pitiful.

If this was really the case, she really felt bad for him.

Though Jared's mother had smothered him with all her love as a mother when she was alive, it can't change the fact that she used Jared as a tool.

She gave birth to him not because she loved him but took him as leverage to get her job done and leave the Farrell Family.

She even raised Jared to be Connor's sub and even took suicide for Connor when Jared was only ten, bringing Jared immense emotional trauma which he still can't recover from till now.

Jared's mother was definitely a selfish person for her love and care for Jared all built on the reason she wanted to use him to achieve her aims.

In comparison, Shonna's love for him was much simpler and pure.

Jared...

Amber's eyes started welling up and felt pretty depressed.

A lot of people envied Jared to be born into such an influential family and got to a position that normal people would never be able to achieve in a lifetime, but who knew what his childhood was like?

It was this man in front of her that made all this happen.

He was the chief criminal here!

Thinking about this, Amber can't hide her hatred towards Connor in her eyes.

Connor sensed it and squinted his eyes. A touch of coldness fled past his eyes and he pretended nothing had happened and was still smiling, "Ms. Reed, do I have something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Amber dropped her eyes and took aback all her emotions and answered, "It was nothing. Are you in the Olkmore all of a sudden to let me spare Alice?"

She went straight to the business.

Connor was taken aback by her straightforwardness and rubbed his ring and smiled, "That's right. I'm here for that. But I'm also here to meet one of my old friends"

A glimmer of warmth and affection surfaced to his eyes when he said old friend.

Amber caught it and knew who he was referring to.

It should be Jared's mother.

After Jared's mother passed away, she didn't go back to the Zackery Family in the Family for it was not the home she used to be in.

She wasn't buried in the cemetery of the Farrell Family either and it was not because the Farrell Family didn't want her to be in it but it was probably against her will.

She was desperate to get away from the Farrell Family when she was alive and how could she want to be buried in it after she died?

Didn't it mean that she would never break away from the Farrell Family?

Therefore, she was just buried in a normal cemetery and she didn't really know which one she was in for Jared had never talked about it before.
