My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 739 So She Turned Out to Be His Cousin

"Zachary?" Amber blinked, then looked up at the man. "I see. So your mother's family is the Zachary family, right?"

"Smart." Jared praised her rudely.

Amber felt shy, "You've said it so clearly."

She waved her hand and said, "But there are many aristocratic families with the surname Zachary in the country. Which one is your grandfather's family?"

"The one in the Capital," Jared replied.

"The Capital..." Amber thought for a while, opened her eyes wide and remembered, "Is it the Zachary Family that has a good relationship with the Stockert family?"

"Yes." Jared nodded.

That was why his mother had been in love with Connor Stockert.

"Really?"

"Yes, although the surname is Zachary, the people in power are actually all surnamed Hatzis, so the people in the Capital directly call them Hatzis family," Jared explained.

"I understand. Because it is the Capital, it is normal for me not to know that the Zachary family is the Hatzis family. But I heard that the Farrell Group has a conflict with the Zachary's. Is it true?" Amber asked. "It is true." Jared narrowed his eyes and admitted it without hiding anything.

"What is going on? Why does the Zachary family have a conflict with the Farrell family?" Amber asked in astonishment.

"Because the one in power now is not my grandfather." Jared gently stroked her hair, but there was no expression on his face. Instead, it was very cold.

Amber could see that he was in a bad mood.

"My great-grandfather had two sons. His eldest son was my grandfather. My grandfather inherited the family business of the Zachary family, but my grandfather had only a daughter, my mother. Originally, after my grandfather and my mother passed away, the Zachary family business should have been inherited by me. But after I inherited a part of it, my great-grandfather's descendants suddenly appeared and robbed a part of it. At that time, my grandfather had just passed away. In order not to make a scene during his funeral, and also to let him rest in peace, I didn't pursue the matter," Jared said coldly. "Are you willing?" Amber looked at him and asked.

"There's nothing to be unwilling about. What they robbed were just industries that would be eliminated by the development of the era. It was just that it was worth a lot at that time. I believe you have heard that the Zachary Group in the Capital recently had some financial problems."

"Of course, I heard about it." Amber adjusted her posture in his arms. "I often read financial news. Last week, I saw the analysis of the Zachary Group on the news. It said that their industry is gradually coming to an end. If the new generation does not change in time, it is inevitable that they will be eliminated. At that time, I was still sighing that the Zachary family did not know how to keep up with the times. It was the same old management and the old production method. I did not expect that it was related to you."

She could see that he was very tired of the current Zachary family, so he was not afraid that these words would make him unhappy.

Sure enough, when Jared heard these words, not only was he not unhappy, but he also laughed.

"You are right. The current Zachary family is not worth pitying. They thought they had stolen the treasure, but they didn't know that it was just a business that I looked down on. In fact, if they hadn't robbed it, I would have given half of it to them and even brought them to improve together. Because before my grandfather passed away, he once said that he had mistreated his younger brother. So from the beginning, I wanted to give them half of the Zachary family's assets, but... Jared narrowed his eyes.

"They let you down." Amber looked at him with heartache.

"Yes, I am so disappointed. In fact, the defeat of the Zachary Group began many years ago. Four years ago, the family came to me and hoped that I could help them. But I refused. After they returned, they discredited the Farrell family wantonly. So you heard that the Farrell family and the Zachary family did not get along with each other. That is how it came to be."

"I see. It doesn't matter if you don't get along. Anyway, they are not the descendants of your grandfather."

"Yes, so I have never cared about them. But I have a good relationship with the second branch of the family." Jared chuckled.

"Second branch?" Amber stretched lazily in his arms.

"Yes, the younger brother of the current leader of the Zachary family. He knows that he has never been qualified to inherit everything from the family, so he didn't make a move back then. He even protected my mother when he was a child. This friendship has not been broken. It is also the only connection between me and the Zachary family." Jared tidied up her clothes which were getting messy from her stretching. "I see." Amber curled up in his arms.

"Speaking of which, you have also seen my second uncle's daughter, my cousin." Jared suddenly thought of something and looked down at her.

"Your cousin? When have I seen her?" Amber was puzzled.

"The one who danced with me at the ball last time." Jared reminded her.

Amber thought about it.

A few seconds later, she sat up straight from his arms. "So she's your cousin."

During the dance, she was with Hayden, and Jared was with another woman.

The woman was not very beautiful, but her height and temperament were very good. She seemed to be a model.

At that time, Jared and the woman were joking, toasting, and dancing.

She had thought that the woman was a rich young lady in the circle who had made him have a good impression. Unexpectedly, it was his cousin.

Knowing that it was a misunderstanding, Amber's face suddenly turned red, and she was extremely embarrassed. Seeing her suddenly become so shy, Jared could not help but raise his eyebrows, "What's wrong?" "Nothing. I just misunderstood your cousin." Amber lowered her head and replied with embarrassment.

"Oh? What kind of misunderstanding?" Jared narrowed his eyes.

"Alright, stop asking. It's too embarrassing!" Amber covered her face.

Seeing her like this, Jared seemed to have understood something and laughed softly.

Hearing the man's laughter, Amber felt even more embarrassed. "Stop laughing!"

She raised one of her eyes and glared at the man.

She had indeed misunderstood his cousin's identity.

But she had not done it on purpose. Who asked him to have been so intimate with his cousin at that time?

He was the one who had misled her, and now he still had the nerve to laugh.

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore. Put your hand down. Don't cover your face." Jared said.

Amber did not move.

Jared had no choice but to do it himself and take her hand off her face.

Looking at her flushed face, Jared reached out and pinched it.

"What are you doing?" Amber immediately shrank back.

"Nothing. Just to cool you down." Jared looked at her with a faint smile.

"No need," Amber said, still shyly.

Jared knew that she had always been thick-skinned, so he did not tease her. He changed the topic. "Oh right, I haven't asked you yet. Where did you go in the afternoon?"
