My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 864 Aggrieved Jared

She remembered being at the police station. Why would she be in her room?

Amber rubbed her eyebrows and, unable to remember how she got back, looked out the French window.

Although there was no sun outside the window, but it was also dazzling.

And she remembered going to the station last night, so what time was it?

Amber looked away from the French window and quickly looked over the nightstand.

Her phone, as always, was there.

She turned, grabbed her phone, lit up the screen and checked the time. She gasped when she saw it was 8:30.

Half past eight!

She remembered that last night at the police station, she was a little sleepy, and Jared let her sleep on him for a while.

She said yes, and she did fall asleep, and she had no memory of the rest.

Apparently, she never woke up from that sleep, until now.

In other words, she slept until 8 am and missed the chance to meet Alice and confront her.

So, who was the one confronting Alice?

Jared or the police?

Just as she was thinking, she heard footsteps outside the door. Amber immediately put the phone down and looked over her shoulder toward the door.

The next moment, the door was opened and a tall figure came in from outside. He had a glass of water in his hand and it was Jared.

Instead of his usual dapper suit, Jared opted for a homier look.

Off-white home clothes made him less cold, milder, and more accessible.

As soon as Jared came in, he caught Amber's eye. He froze for a moment. He had only come in to see if she was awake, apparently not expecting that she was. Jared quickly gathered his emotions and gave a quiet smile, "Morning."

Amber greeted him and pressed her hands on top of the quilt, then she asked quickly, "Jared, did Alice go to the police station last night?"

"Yes." Jared sat down on the bed with his water glass.

Amber looked at him, "Then why didn't you wake me up? Didn't I ask you to wake me up when Alice came?"

Jared gave a little cough, "You were so fast asleep, and your sleeping face was so cute, that I didn't have the heart to wake you up, so I didn't." "You..." Amber rolled her eyes in anger.

It never occurred to her that this was his reason for not waking her.

She thought it was because Alice didn't show up, so he didn't wake her up at all.

"Don't get angry. Drink some water." Seeing her face turn red in anger, Jared handed the water over to her.

Amber was indeed thirsty now. She looked at the glass of water in front of her, then at the man's undisguised flattery, and the anger in her heart dissipated. But she gave the man a fake angry look before she took the glass and drank.

Olkmore City had less rain in winter, so the air was drier. Even when the humidifier was running in the room, her throat was still a little dry in the morning. Therefore, she usually prepared a glass of water for herself in advance at night and put it on her bed so she could drink it the next day when she woke up. She was asleep last night, so she couldn't prepare.

But Jared was so sweet, he made her water as soon as she woke up.

So, it was hard for her to be mad at him.

After drinking, Amber handed Jared the glass, "Just tell me. Alice went to the police station last night. How did it go?"

Jared was holding the glass in his hand with some water in it.

He stared at the spot where her lips had touched for a few seconds, then suddenly stamped his own lips on it, lifted his head and drank the rest of the water in the glass.

Amber blushed as she saw that.

This guy, he started kissing indirectly in the morning.

She didn't know what to say.

As the man finished his drink, Amber gently tugged at his arm, "Come out with it."

Jared put his glass down and chuckled, "When Alice arrived, I went to see her. The woman denied it at first, kept making excuses. Then I played back to her the words of the man I had recorded in the interrogation room, and naturally she confessed to her crime."

Amber laughed when she heard that Alice admitted that she did it, "That's great, but..."

She looked at the man, "You recorded it in the interrogation room? Why didn't I know that?"

"I secretly turned it on before I went into the interrogation room, but there were cops, and I couldn't tell you, so I'm not gonna tell you." Jared said.

Amber understood why he didn't.

Neither the plaintiff nor the defendant was allowed to record in a police station.

So Jared, even though he was in a very high position, he didn't have the power to defy the rules of the state. He had to do it secretly.

"Didn't the police get upset when you pulled out the record?" Amber looked at the man and asked.

Jared chuckled, "So what? The recording was made, and with my identity out there, they had to turn a blind eye."

If I hadn't recorded it yet, they were gonna stop it.

How were they gonna stop me if I had recorded it?

So that was it.

Amber covered her lips and laughed at the man's smug look, "Good for you. Did the police say what happened to Alice after that?"

"Not yet." Jared shook his head and looked a little more serious, "If Alice were just a normal person, the police would have filed a warrant for trial after she admitted what she did. But this time it's not that simple. They're going to wait until they know who Alice really is before they deal with it, and even I can't change that."

"Oh, I see." Amber nodded, "I understand. After all, Alice's true identity is still unknown. A man who has created a false identity for himself, who knows whether he is a spy or a fugitive. It's not surprising that the police wouldn't deal with it so quickly."

"I'm glad you understand." Jared touched her hair, "But rest assured, Alice will not end well in the end."

"I've always believed that." Amber nodded and sighed, "I'm just sorry for the dresses."

They were worth millions and they were just gone.

If Alice had to pay, it wouldn't be now.

Not until her identity was confirmed, after the trial.

She didn't know how long that would be.

"Never mind." Jared looked at Amber and chuckled, "This morning, I asked Ben to prepare a new dress. It's different but better than the previous one. This time, you won't say no, will you? Huh?"

He bent his head slightly and touched his forehead to hers.

Amber sighed, "Of course not. I'm broke."

She couldn't afford a dress, and she didn't want to rent one.

Renting a dress to go to a party, wasn't that a slap in the mall owner's face?

She would crazy to do that.

So, she really could only accept Jared's offer right now.

"Who says you're broke?" Jared gently pinched Amber's nose, "My money is all yours, but you don't want to accept it. Grandma also asked me if I had bought you anything or given you any presents. I said I had, but you wouldn't accept it and kept rejecting me. She didn't believe me and scolded me for being stingy."

There was a palpable sense of grievance on his face.
