My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 897 Amber Who Survived

Instead of getting angry, Amber sneered inwardly, "Mr. Stockert, that's very generous of you. Okay, Mr. Stockert, can I have the Stockert Group, please?"

She smiled at Connor Stockert.

Connor Stockert's face stiffened, "What did you say? The Stockert Group?"

"Yeah" Amber smiled and nodded.

Connor Stockert twitched the corners of his mouth in disbelief.

Apparently, he had no idea that the first thing she asked for was the Stockert family.

When Connor Stockert didn't speak, Amber's eyes lit up and she repeated, "Mr. Stockert, is that all right?"

Of course not!

That was the Stockert Group, the foundation of the Stockert Family!

Connor Stockert growled in anger, barely holding his face together.

Mr. Oller, his assistant behind him, was young and did not hold his breath. He took a step forward, pointed to Amber, and

barked, "You are such a shameless woman! How dare you want the Stockert Group? Do you have what it takes?"

Amber smiled, "It doesn't matter if I'm capable of that. What matters is whether you give me the Stockert Group. Mr. Stockert, you said it yourself. Whatever I want. I want the Stockert Group. So, can you give it to me?"

She looked at Connor Stockert.

Connor Stockert stared back at her. After a few moments, he spoke in a cold voice, "I understand, Miss Reed, from the beginning to the end, you never have the intention to let go of my daughter, so you deliberately asked for the Stockert Group, because you know, I can't possibly trade the Stockert Group for my daughter."

Amber was not surprised to see her scheme revealed and just laughed.

After all, she was so obvious that no one could fail to understand.

He couldn't really trade her the Stockert Group for Alice, could he?

She would be surprised if that were the case.

More important than a person, of course, was the foundation of a family. Anyone who was not a fool knew what to choose.

So, she deliberately said she wanted the Stockert Group, which was really a twist to tell Connor Stockert that she never intended to bypass Alice.

As Amber laughed, Connor Stockert's face darkened and his hand tightened as he griped his cane.

He never expected to be played by a young girl at his age.

He had thought that if he put forward conditions, the girl would not refuse.

After all, what Goldstone Co. was like today could be found on the Internet. He offered her so much that she could use him to grow Goldstone Co.

And not like now, still lukewarm.

She was Jared's girl, and if Jared helped her, Goldstone Co. wouldn't have been like this. It would have been back on the market and gone through the roof. But Jared didn't help her, so he didn't love her enough to help her.

So, if she wanted to develop Goldstone Co., she should seize the opportunity. He threw everything at her, and she turned it down!

She said no to vent her anger!

Connor Stockert didn't know if Amber was stupid or not.

And he, the Stockert family's head, who had always been careful, had been fooled by such a stupid woman.

Wasn't that a trick?

How could he not be angry that the thing he had always thought he had won had been deliberately revealed to deceive him? "Miss Reed, aren't you afraid I'll be offended?"

Connor Stockert had finally shed his fake tender smile. He stared blankly at Amber, intimidating as a viper.

Amber knew that he was referring to her refusal to spare Alice and to her teasing him.

At the same time, she realized that she had indeed gone too far in teasing him.

This was the head of the Stockert family, not Alice, Makayla Gardner, and Trenton Gardner she used to face.

She didn't know him well enough to treat him the way she treated Trenton Gardner and others. After all, she didn't know if the man, in his anger, would attack her directly.

But now it was too late to regret, after all, she had enjoyed the pleasure of playing with him and could only go on with it.

Amber breathed in disbelief, reached into Connor Stockert's cold eyes, forced a smile, and said, "Mr. Stockert, it doesn't matter if I'm afraid now, I've already done it, haven't I? Besides, to please you is to make me unhappy. I love myself the most, so I only want to be happy for myself. Well, then, I will have to do is to upset you."

"So, what you're saying is you're not willing to step back for any reason?" Connor Stockert squinted.

Amber clenched her hands in support, "Yes, Alice did something wrong, and she deserves to be punished, and I'm doing it for her own good"

"You're doing it for her own good?° Connor Stockert smirked and clapped his hands, but then paused for a more expressive expression. "Miss Reed, I don't think you should be so quick to decide that my daughter is going to pay for what she's done, and I think you might want to think about it, and maybe you'll change your mind."

"Think about it?" Amber frowned.

What was there to think about in such a thing?

Would she really fet Alice go after thinking about it?

Oh, you were kidding!

She would never let Alice go, even if she offended the person in front of her.

She couldn't beat him, but she still had Jared, right?

With Jared, what was she afraid of?

Amber pursed her red lips and was about to say there was no need.

Connor Stockert had already interrupted her, "Miss Reed, I will give you two days to think about it, and I will see you when I come back in two days. ! hope I can hear a satisfactory answer from you then. Sorry to bother you today. Good day!"

With that, his grim face returned to its gentle, kindly smile, and with a slight nod to Amber, he turned and moved on.

Mr. Oller followed, but after a few steps, he suddenly looked back at Amber with a sullen look before tuming his head again.

Before long, they had disappeared.

Amber breathed a sigh of relief as her body relaxed.

The result of her relaxation was that her legs went limp, her body wobbled and she almost fell to the ground.

Luckily, she grabbed something she could hold on to in time, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to stand steadily and would sit on the ground.

Although Amber was not awkwardly sitting on the floor, her entire back was now wet from perspiration. It was cold, too, and now the clothes clung to her back and chilled her.

It was all from the stress of her confrontation with Connor Stockert.

It was not that she hadn't seen people who pressured her. On the contrary, she had seen plenty.

But those pressures were nothing compared to what she had been under.

Because the pressure they put on her didn't make her feel scared, like she was in danger all the time.

Connor Stockert, on the other hand, made her feel as if she was being targeted by a poisonous snake, ready to be bitten at any moment.

God knew how hard it must have been for her to resist the fear and pressure of Connor Stockert and not lose her cool.

But that was all in the past.

With this thought, Amber rubbed her temples and stroked her back.

Looked like she wouldn't be going to Goldstone Co. for a while. She decided to go back and change and tell Jared about Connor Stockert's arrival. Amber turned around and walked to the apartment, pulled out her cell phone and called Jared.

Jared quickly answered, smiled, and was about to start the conversation before Amber beat him to it, "Jared, I need to talk to you. It's important!"
