My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber) -
Chapter 816 Her Mouth Was Shut
The reason why he fell for Amber was not only because she was kind but most importantly, he saw hope in her.
Amber was in love with Jared but he hurt her and they ended up getting a divorce.
He knew a bunch of women who were hurt by men and a lot of them was even more miserable than her.
Most of those women would be desperate and give up on life, and some of them would even commit suicide after they got left.
But Amber was different. She instantly calmed herself down and fell out of love quickly.
There was still hope sparkling in her eyes. She wasn't desperate about herself and she hadn't given up on herself at all. She even took over Goldstone Co., which was almost destroyed, and made it big. Amber wasn't a person who would confine herself with something or someone.
Even when she got hurt, she would move on soon and adjust her attitude quickly. She would never let herself drift along.
Because for her, neither her hurt feelings not Jared was essential for her. None of them could be the reason why she stopped trying and gave up.
On the contrary, she could instantly move on and live a better life
Even though that sounded simple, it was easier said than done. Not everyone could do that.
He even believed that if Amber wasn't hurt by her husband and was treated like puppet by their families like them, she wouldn't compromise and would accomplish something different.
Because she was rational enough to know what she really wanted and had the guts to achieve it.
And they didn't have the courage at all. In the end, they would be assimilated by their families' ideas and became someone they hated.
Her clear mind and sparkles in her eyes were the reason why he was interested in her and then had feelings for her.
And now, as he learned of her plans for the future, he suddenly found that he couldn't forget her even more.
Sensing the burning gaze of the man next to her, Amber frowned, "What's wrong?"
Hayden lowered his head to hide the darkness in his eyes and shook his head, "Nothing. I'm just thinking about something."
"Oh." Amber nodded without any further questions.
Hayden was upset about her reaction, "Won't you ask me what I'm thinking?"
Amber shook her head, "Why bother? Everyone has secrets. I don't have to know all of them.”
Most of all, she wasn't interested in what he was thinking at all.
Also, they were not that close and they were just friends. She felt it was inappropriate to ask him such a question.
Seeing Amber didn't want to know, Hayden shrugged, "Okay."
He didn't really mean to tell her.
If he did tell her, she'd freak out.
And he needed to calm down and adjust his mindset.
He had decided to let her go, but just now she again melted his heart and made him a little unwilling to give up.
But he knew it was wrong.
Therefore, he must stay calm and adjust his mindset, or else it would be too late for him to regret.
Hayden kept his mouth shut and Amber didn't say anything either as she waited for the trial to begin.
About ten minutes later, when everyone who needed to attended the trial had arrived, the judge took one look at the time and declared that the trial would begin on time.
In fact, this trial was just for show. After all, there was sufficient evidence that Braylee had smeared the country because Braylee had admitted that herself in the live broadcast and she could not find any excuses to defend herself.
In the end, Braylee was sentenced to six months with a chance of remission.
This was not quite a big punishment for a person who committed a crime. But Braylee didn't want to go to jail. When she heard that she had been sentenced to six months, she panicked and shouted that she would appeal.
The court also granted Braylee the right to appeal. After all, Braylee had the right to appeal as a citizen.
But everyone knew that even if Braylee appealed, the verdict would be upheld at the second trial.
So Amber didn't give any reactions to Braylee's appeal because she wasn't worried.
Braylee was no fool, and she gradually calmed down after she threw a temper.
After cooling down, she knew the situation of the second trial would be just the same. She was completely stunned and there was no life in her eyes like she was a walking dead person.
Amber glanced at Braylee unsympathetically and got up to leave.
Anyway, the first trial was over, and there was no need for her to stay here much longer. She just needed to come back for the second trial.
Hayden took a look at Braylee and stood up to follow Amber.
They had to pass Braylee on their way out.
Braylee's eyes brightened a little as Amber ignored her. Something came to her mind and she gave her a grim smile as she called after Amber, "Amber, do you want to know who your real parents are?" Amber paused and jerked her head around to stare at her, "Excuse me?"
Braylee smiled even more at Amber's reaction, "I said, I know who your real parents are. You would be shocked to know who they are. Because they are..."
Before she could finish her words, a female bailiff covered her mouth.
"Shut up, it's time to retire the court, and you must come with us back to the lockup without delay. Go!" The bailiff gave the other bailiff a look.
The bailiff nodded and grabbed Braylee and hurried toward the special exit.
The two bailiffs were distraught, but they looked as serious and impassive as ever.
Because they were afraid that Amber might see something.
Deep inside their mind, they felt that they had messed up.
They had been instructed not to let Braylee tell Amber anything about her birth parents.
No sooner had they slipped up than Braylee opened up her giant mouth and revealed something.
Although they stopped her in time, they did so at such an awkward timing that it was easy to assume they were deliberately trying to stop Braylee.
So now they just hope Amber didn't guess that they did it on purpose. As for the rest, there was nothing they could do.
Amber frowned as Braylee was taken away with her eyes red and her angry face twisted, "It looks like those two bailiffs were trying to stop Braylee from telling me who my real parents are."
Hayden, who was beside her, looked a bit guilty when he heard what she said. Then he smiled, "How is that possible? You are not familiar with the legal system. The bailiff didn't mean to stop her. She was just doing her job. She had to get the suspect back to the police car as soon as possible."
"Really?" Amber raised her eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously.
Hayden nodded gravely, "Of course!"
Amber bit her lower lip as if she was wondering if she could trust him.
After a while, she smiled with relief, "Maybe you're right. The bailiff has nothing to do with Braylee or me. She had no reason to stop her. I think I'm overthinking it."
Hayden forced himself to laugh and didn't answer her because he felt guilty.000000☐☐
