Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 58

Elliot and Rodney greeted each other in a friendly manner. As expected of the people fighting in the business world, no one could tell that they had once fought with each other.

Amber looked at the two of them greeting each other politely and watched the fake smile on their faces. His heart was filled with frustration.

In front of others, Celia had always ignored Amber. The so-called “sister” would only appear when no one knew her. So when she saw Amber and Elliot coming over, she just nodded politely. Amber was indifferent and didn’t take her seriously at all.

The people present tonight were all well-known people. Amber was just an assistant now, and she was so beautiful. Naturally, he was pushed aside by others.

“Isn’t this woman the divorced woman from the last TV station?” A rich lady thought of Amber’s blind date show.

“Yes, yes! At that time, Mr. Thomson also participated in the blind date program for her.”

“Yes, she refused Mr. Thomson at that time. I remember it very clearly.”

“Since she refused, why would she be with Childe Mr. Thomson now? I seem to remember that she left with another ugly man.”

“There are so many people who want to be famous. It seems that they must have made use of Mr. Thomson to become famous!”

“The world is getting worse day by day. Nowadays, people really dare to do anything in order to become famous! Look at her, she must be from a small family. She has no manners at all!”

“That’s right! Isn’t it shameful to bring such a person here?”

The three women acted in the same way, not to mention that there were more than three women here. When the women here saw Amber as beautiful as a fairy, they were jealous, so they said anything.

Amber turned a blind eye to these malicious attacks. Compared with the unbearable attacks he had experienced before, the verbal attacks were too small.

Elliot naturally heard those unpleasant words. He stopped chatting with a boss and looked at the two women who were talking passionately. “Isn’t this Mrs. Barber and Mrs. Ayers?”

The two women did not expect Elliot to take the initiative to greet them, so they both smiled politely. “President Mr. Thomson!”

“Last week, I saw President Tian take a young girl in her twenties to have dinner. Is that your daughter?” Elliot was smiling. Madam Tian’s expression changed. What daughter? She must be a goblin who was raised outside. She could not find a reason to lose her temper. She could only remain silent.

Elliot didn’t seem to see her embarrassment. “Your daughter is so beautiful!”

Elliot was well-known in the circle for his protection. No matter how stupid the two old women were, they knew that he was defending Amber. The other madam surnamed Ayers wanted to leave when she saw that things were not looking good. How could Elliot let her get away so easily? “Congratulations, Mrs. Ayers! What day is it? I will definitely go to support you!”

Mrs. Ayers’s face instantly turned red. “What do you mean by getting a son of a noble family? He is the son of the shameless woman who is raised outside.” She wished she could strangle him to death!

Mr. Barber and Mr. Mason also noticed that something was wrong. Elliot had never offended others. Today, he talked about their ugly things on such an occasion. It must be two old women who offended him. Their hatred was glaring at their wife at the same time.

Elliot didn’t say anything else. He took Amber’s hand and walked in another direction. When he left, he smiled sinisterly at Mr. Barber and Mr. Mason.

Seeing his fake smile, the two’s hearts were beating wildly. They had wanted to contact Elliot tonight, but now it seemed that it was a waste of time! Not only was it wasted, but it might also offend him.

Rodney took in everything in his eyes. He didn’t believe that Elliot was sincere to Amber, but he couldn’t see through it.

The man surnamed Mr. Thomson was a typical example of protecting his men. He would never protect a woman he did not like. However, since he truly liked Amber, why would he lure her into seducing Channing?

“Or did I guess all of this wrong?” Looking at the harmonious couple, his heart ached!

Celia also felt uncomfortable. She had been waiting to see Amber make a fool of himself, but she didn’t expect that Elliot would stand up for Amber without hesitation.

“Why does everyone care about Amber wherever he goes? Pierce used to love him, but now he has Elliot! I’m so lucky!”

Amber and Elliot walked around and found an excuse to go outside. There was a small garden outside the gathering hall. Amber went straight to the garden after leaving the hall. She didn’t wear high heels for a long time, so her feet were burning with pain. Looking around, she found no one. She sat down on the flower bed, shook her high heels, and put her feet on the ground to relieve her pain.

Rodney had been observing Amber. When he saw Amber leave the hall, he found an excuse to follow him out.

As soon as Amber released his foot, a deep voice sounded behind him. “If Elliot sees you like this, he will definitely lose his appetite!”

Amber sneered without looking back. “What does it have to do with you if he doesn’t have an appetite?”

Rodney was provoked by the indifference in her tone. He approached Amber and asked, “Who is that man?”

“What man?” Amber was confused.

“You don’t understand?” Rodney’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the danger in his eyes was spreading. “I said, who is the father of the child? Don’t tell me that you don’t even know the father of the child?”

Amber’s heart skipped a beat and she stood up immediately. Rodney’s words shocked her. She only reacted when she heard the latter part clearly. She began to put on her shoes. “Mr. Barron, are you so full that you care about other people’s private affairs?”

Rodney was very dissatisfied with her answer. He reached out and held her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes. “Is it appropriate for you to leave your husband alone and flirt with another man?”

“You’re not afraid of anything, but what right do you have to ask?” Amber sneered.

Rodney was almost driven mad by the mocking look in her eyes. He exerted force into Amber’s hand. Amber couldn’t help but cry out in pain. However, Rodney didn’t let go. “Amber, why are you so cruel? What on earth did your heart do?”

“Mr. Barron, you don’t have to care about what I do. I’m already a stranger. You’d better try to avoid me in the future. What do you think?”

It was very easy. Amber saw the darkness in Rodney’s eyes deepened. That was the reaction of his anger to the extreme. She had just felt a little relieved, but Rodney suddenly reached out and grabbed

her shoulder. In the blink of an eye, his warm lips covered hers.

It was a familiar yet foreign smell. There was a moment of chaos in Amber’s mind, but he immediately reacted.

Who did he think he was? Or the fool who was deceived by him?

She tried her best to push him away, but Rodney was hugging her very tightly. There was a great disparity in strength between them. She had no way to push him away at all. In a moment of desperation, she came up with an idea. She used her high-heeled shoes to stomp viciously on his foot.

Rodney was in a state of confusion. Who would have thought that she would suddenly attack him? The intense pain made him let go of Amber. Amber wiped his lips in disgust. “Rodney, you’re f*cking disgusting. How dare you touch me with your filthy mouth, which has kissed countless women!”

Rodney narrowed his eyes. “Amber, why are you pretending to be a virtuous lady? I don’t know how many women Elliot has slept with. Aren’t you taking care of him?”

“Mr. Barron, you think I’m too kind, don’t you? To tell you the truth, in my heart, you don’t even deserve to carry Elliot’s shoes!” After saying this, she strode away.

Rodney stared at her back in a daze. His heart sank to the point of despair. No matter what happened in the past, he had never been in despair. But today, he felt despair. It was a feeling worse than death.

He lit a cigarette, trying to ease his emotions. However, after taking a drag, he didn’t feel comfortable. Instead, he felt even more agitated.

He was extremely frustrated, truly frustrated. It had been three years, yet his heart hadn’t changed in the slightest. He had always been imagining that there would be a day when his eyes would be broken, yet she had already drifted further and further away from him.

During the three years she had disappeared, he had thought of such a day, but he had never been willing to believe it.

He always thought that he would have a chance, but when he heard the lovely little fellow call her mother, he saw with his own eyes how gentle and loving she was to the little fellow. The natural motherly love made his heart feel as if it had been stabbed by something.

Ha! What a joke! He was waiting for her to come back, but she was already an adult mother. Who was that man? He had been thinking about this question all the time.

Could it be Pierce? He recalled the scene of Pierce holding his child and appearing downstairs with her. She had disappeared that year, and he had thought that she would fly with Pierce.

However, there had never been any news of her and Pierce. It must be that the Hammond family did not agree and looked down on her background. He was secretly happy. As long as the Hammond family did not agree, she would never enter the Hammond family for the rest of her life. She and Pierce would never be together.

But now, when he saw the child, he did not dare to think so. Back then, she left without hesitation for Pierce. It was possible for her to have children for her beloved man.

“But isn’t it because I can’t give birth? How could I have a child with Pierce without being pregnant for three years?”

Or was it because she knew how to give birth to a child, but she didn’t want to give birth to a child for herself? There were many ideas that were likely to be entangled in Rodney’s mind. He felt like he was going crazy.

He had been struggling for the whole afternoon. He gritted his teeth and hated her. He also felt a sharp pain in his heart. He was completely in no mood to work.

He didn’t want to come to the party tonight at all, but he couldn’t refuse it. He just wanted to leave after the party, but he didn’t expect to see her again.

It was so dazzling that it easily took away his heart. Looking at Elliot’s protection of her, he inexplicably began to envy her again.

Seeing that she went to the garden alone to follow him, he had a lot of things to ask her. What he wanted to know most was who the man was.

But she refused to answer! This made his guess even more important. Was that man really Pierce?

However, if it was Pierce, why would she have an affair with Elliot? He did not forget the scene of her and Elliot kissing in the car that night.

A friend and wife couldn’t be bullied. How could Elliot lay a finger on Pierce’s woman?

If it wasn’t Pierce, who would that man be? Who was it that was worthy of her giving birth to children for him?

There was a surge of anger in her heart. When she thought of her having a baby with another man and how she slept with another man, she became more and more flustered.

She already had a child. What was impossible? But why was it so awkward? It should not have happened, right?

Amber did not return to the hall but went to the bathroom to make up. Just now, Rodney kissed her hard. Her appearance would make Elliot suspicious.

Amber stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom to make up. She heard the sound of hurried high heels. Then the door of the bathroom was pushed open, and a smell of perfume floated in.

Without even looking at Amber, she knew who was coming. A cold smile appeared on her face. Celia was so strict with Rodney!

However, so what if he was strict with her? A dog could not change its character of eating shit. Since Rodney could cheat on her when he got married, he could not rule out the possibility of cheating again. It was no wonder that Celia would watch him so closely.

Celia met several familiar noble madams, so she stopped talking to them. After she finished chatting with these madams, she couldn’t see Rodney’s figure.

She immediately searched for Amber, only to find that Elliot was alone in the hall. When she found that Amber was not in the hall, she guessed that Rodney must have gone to meet Amber privately.

Celia hated him in her heart, so she immediately went out to look for him. She pushed the door open and found nothing. Finally, she came to the bathroom.

Seeing that Amber was applying lipstick on her lips, Celia’s pupils contracted. They had kissed just now! Hatred instantly attacked her chest. Amber put away the lipstick, glanced at Celia with a sneer, and turned to walk out.

“Wait a minute!” Celia stopped her.

“What can I do for you, Ms. Black?” Amber sneered.

“Sister, I’m sorry for what happened in the past. I apologize to you. Please forgive me!”

“Forgive me? Do you think I will forgive a mistress who ruined my family?”

“I know you hate me… It was Aunt Lin who came to beg me. I think she was too pitiful, so…” Celia bit her lip and spoke intermittently. She inherited Shannon’s insidiousness and knew how to provoke a person.

“I didn’t want it to happen either. I did it just to help you. You wouldn’t have given birth to a child, and Rodney and Ms. Grant wanted a child so much, so I agreed. I didn’t think it through. It was all my fault. Please forgive me for losing my child. After all, we are sisters.”

She kept apologizing to him, but every word she said implied that she was cheating on him. Every word she said was that Amber could not bear children. If it had been in the past, Amber would have been furious. But now, she just hated him and sneered at him.

“It’s said that dragons, phoenixes, and phoenixes are raised, and mice like to dig holes. It’s true. It’s an eye-opener that mistress can inherit it.”

This was to say that Shannon and Channing had been in love since she was a mistress. Celia blushed and said, “My mom and dad really love each other.”

“True love?” Amber sneered. “So you and Rodney really love each other? Celia, don’t lie to yourself. In fact, you know very well what you are. You are as shameless as your mistress. No! It should be said that you have inherited the characteristics of your mistress seducing a married man. You and your daughter are the most shameless people in the world!” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“You can insult me, but you can’t insult my mother. No matter what, she is your elder!” Celia argued. “Amber, I want you to apologize!”

“Apologize?” Amber seemed to have heard something funny. “Do you deserve it?”

Amber didn’t want to get involved with Celia anymore. She opened the door and left, but Celia, who was no longer as weak as usual, reached out to pull her. Amber felt extremely disgusted and slapped her.
