Love Letters From My EX

Amber smiled and said, “The point is, the Trident Group is now heavily in debt and should there be no fixed assets supporting it, the company would have gone bankrupt. Even if they don’t, they would have been on the verge of bankruptcy, just like what Goldstone has undergone three months ago. That means now the Trident Group had no working capital at all at the current time. Now Mr. Gardner must be seeking money everywhere to keep his company in operation. Then could you tell me where could you get the 10 million dollars to save Makenna?”

Mrs. Gardner was rendered wordless by this.

No one would know better than her that how hard Trenton was these days on seeking money.

But as he was such an arrogant man who had offended many people, those in this field was simply reluctant to lend money to him. Now he had only got 200 million dollars, which was like a drop of water that couldn’t even make a splash in the stock market, and certainly wouldn’t be enough to help the Trident Group go through all the difficulties.

So, now every penny counted for her family. Should she let Trenton know she took so much money to save Makenna, Trenton would certainly get angry. Though he wouldn’t choose to get divorced with her, she would lose him anyway.

Just thinking of it had already made Mrs. Gardner feel so scared that her body couldn’t help quivering.

Amer smiled, “Seemingly you are reluctant to pay anymore.”

Mrs. Gardner looked quite pale, “Please tell me what I can do to let you forgive Makenna?”

Before she came here, she was informed by the police that Makenna had already signed the statement of confession, which meant Makenna could not be bailed and Mrs. Gardner could not meet her daughter until the trial.

The police also told her that there was solid evidence that could prove Makenna did try to murder Amber and frame her up. Therefore, Makenna may be convicted at the first trial and not given the opportunity to get a second trial.

Then Mrs. Gardner asked the lawyer if there was any chance to save Makenna and the only answer she got was to ask Amber for forgiveness. That’s why she had to beg to Amber at whatever cost.

But Amber chose to disappoint Mrs. Gardner directly by replying coldly to her, “I will not let her go anyway. She has tried to kill me for several times but I could not prove it before. But now I’ve got the evidence. So, I will definitely send her to jail.”

“You…” Mrs. Gardner gaped and she pointed at Amber with her trebling fingers, “You’re such an evil bitch!”

Makayla Gardner blinked her eyes surprisedly.

An evil bitch?

She glanced at Mrs. Gardner.

Much as she liked her new mother, she had to admit that Mrs. Gardner had got the things totally wrong.

Though she was not well-educated, she knew that it was Makenna who tried to murder and frame Amber. Makenna should be the evil bitch and Amber was just fighting back with the help of the law.

But as Mrs. Gardner had always been kind to her, she would not tell her what she had in mind.

Amber looked as if she had just heard a ridiculous joke and she sneered, “No no no, madam. I’m no winner compared with your younger daughter in terms of evilness. She pushed me down the stairs, tried to get me fall off the horse, provoked the snake to attack me, and planned to have me raped. She even let someone pour sulfuric acid on my face. Actually, ‘evil bitch’ is not the right word. She is inhuman.”

Hearing that, Mrs. Gardner blushed and looked away with a guilty conscience, “But you are safe right now.”

“So, you mean if I am safe now, I should let the past go and forgive Makenna?” Amber’s face got colder.

The corner of Mrs. Gardner’s mouth moved a bit. Though she didn’t say a word, definitely Amber had got her words right.

Amber shook her head. She knew she didn’t have to continue.

After all, you could not wake up someone who played possum.

She picked up the phone and called Trenton in the face of Mrs. Gardner, “Hello, Mr. Gardner, this is Amber Reed.”

Mrs. Gardner screamed with her eyes wide open, “What are you doing?”

Amber ignored her and continued, “You wife has come to me and she is asking me to let Makenna go at the price of ten million dollars.”

On the other side, Trenton stood up immediately with a dark face, “What?”

Ten million?

She’s really generous, isn’t she?!

He had just been declined by the bank from borrowing more money so he was seriously distraught at the moment. Now Debbie McFadden dared use one million dollars to bail out her damned daughter!

Didn’t she know what ten million dollars meant to the Trident Group now?

Trenton quivered with rage, “Where is Debbie McFadden right now?”

He was calling Mrs. Gardner by her name.

Amber looked with a faint smile at Mrs. Gardner whose face was written with fear all over, “She is right in front of me. You’d better talk to her directly.”

Then she turned on the speaker and handed it over to Mrs. Gardner.

The angry shouts of Trenton were sent over immediately, “Get the fuck back home!”

“Trenton, I…”

Trenton interrupted her and said, “Shut up! You can see what I will do to you if you don’t come back in half an hour!”

After that, Trenton hung up the phone.

Her body quivered. Even Makayla who was standing beside was scared by his voice.

Amber took her phone back and said, “Shall we continue, Mrs. Gardner?”

Mrs. Gardner stood up and stared at her coldly. And her indifferent and arrogant attitude came back.

“I will save my Makenna. I promise you. Let’s go, Makayla.”

With her hand in hand, Mrs. Gardner strode towards the gate.

Soon, Ben knew that Mrs. Gardner and Makayla Gardner had come to Goldstone Co.

He knocked on Jared’s office and came in, “Mr. Farrell, according to our men in Goldstone, Mrs. Gardner and Makayla went to Ms. Reed.”

“Why?” Jared frowned, “For Makenna?”

“Yes. But she probably failed since she came out with a dark face.” Ben sneered.

A faint smile also climbed on Jared’s face, “She chose the wrong one.”

Amber was the one who wanted to send Makenna to jail the most.

It’s definitely not a sensible choice to resort to Amber.

“By the way, I remember I asked you to investigate Makayla. What did you find?” Jared asked with his fingers tapping on the desk.

Ben pushed his glasses up his nose and replied, “I found something.”

“You found something?” Jared bit his lips a bit. Apparently, he was not satisfied with what Ben said.

Ben nodded and murmured, “That’s because the record of her past has been eliminated by someone else. It took a lot of efforts before I found something about her. This Makayla was formerly named Judy Lashley. She was born in a remote village, whose family preferred boys to girls. Then she was taken to Olkmore by Hayden Cohen.”

“Hayden Cohen?” Jared seemed to be shocked.

Not only Amber but also Hayden Cohen was involved in the return of Makayla.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

What were Amber and Hayden planning to do?

Seemingly Ben had noticed what Jared had in mind so he said sincerely, “Maybe Ms. Reed and Mr. Cohen have a big plan because I also found that Judy Lashley was not the real Makayla. Mr. Cohen had also replaced the real DNA samples with fake ones in hospitals all over the city so that wherever the Gardner couple do the DNA test, they will get the same result saying that Judy Lashley is their daughter Makayla. Ms. Reed must have known that. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have given the necklace to Judy.”

Jared remained silent and was indulged in wondering.

Soon, it occurred to him that Hayden and Amber did have something in common, that is, they both viewed the Gardner’s as their biggest enemy. But they could not attack the Trident Group to make it go bankrupt in a direct yet legal way.

But that also meant that if they still wanted to deal with the Trident Group, the best choice would be to tap the company’s scandals, which was almost impossible except they had someone working undercover inside the company.

Therefore, maybe the fake Makayla was a mole in the Gardner’s.
