Chasing My Rejected Wife

Couldn’t Care Less When You’re Desperate

Channing let go of Amber's hand in an instant. Both of them turned their heads and saw Elliot, who had appeared behind them without them realising.

Seeing that it was Channing Black, Elliot was stunned for a moment. "Mr. Black?"

"Mr. Thomson!" Channing laughed in a slightly awkward manner.

In a flash, Elliot put on a fake smile and asked, "What is the Chief Secretary trying to do by holding my assistant's hand? Are you harassing her?"

"Assistant?" Channing looked back and forth between Elliot and his daughter in surprise. "Amber, are you working for Mr. Thomson?"

"Amber? You address her so intimately, don't you? Mr. Black, my assistant can potentially become your daughter already. Besides, her looks are only mediocre. Please don't make the wrong choice. It's not good to get yourself caught in scandals!" Elliot didn't show Channing the slightest respect, pulling Amber to his side as he spoke.

"Make the wrong choice? Get caught in scandals?" thought Channing. He suddenly realised that perhaps Elliot had misunderstood his relationship with Amber.

Seeing Elliot's protective look, Channing was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed. Elliot was handsome and also the President of the subsidiary of Parableutions in the UK. If Elliot could date his daughter....

Seeing that it was not the time to explain about his relationship with Amber yet, Channing looked at Elliot with a significant smile. "Mr. Thomson, I have to leave now as there are things to be done. Let's arrange to meet again next time!"

Elliot's face gradually darkened as Channing leaves them. He let go of Amber's hand in disgust. "Are you a fool? You think it's nice for people to see you being held by an old man in public?"

"No, sir!" Amber responded.

"No? You know that too, don't you? Amber Stone, have you been crazy about men? Are you so desperate that you couldn't care less? To the point of hooking up with old men?"

Elliot's words were venomous. Amber smiled bitterly and replied, "Mr. Thomson, it's not what you think."

"It better be not what I think. As my assistant, you have to pay attention to your reputation and keep yourself clean. Otherwise, I'll fire you!"

"I understand, there won't be a next time!"

Elliot felt much better when he saw how submissive Amber was. "You don't have to attend the party tonight. Go back and rest early. I have something for you to do on the next day. By the way, make an appointment with Lulu."

"Yes, sir!" replied Amber. For Elliot to show such great compassion and let her go back to rest, it was simply an unprecedented good news for her. She helped Elliot to call for an appointment with Lulu before returning home.

Since her uncle had been weak and sickly. Amber rerouted to the market while heading home. She bought some seafood and chicken, ready to prepare something nourishing for her uncle.

Amber walked out of the market with the ingredients she had purchased. When she was crossing the road, a car rushed out from a sideway. Amber didn't manage to dodge and was knocked to the ground in an instant.

It was excruciating as her palms and legs were scraped against the rough surface. She tried to stand up, but she couldn't. Then, the door of the car opened and the driver got out. "Are you all right?"

"I can't...," Amber paused after saying only two words.

The driver also looked at her in surprise. "Ma... Madam!"

"What Madam? Rodney has long abandoned this woman, what do you think you're doing?" A rude and arrogant voice sounded.

Rachel, who was sitting in the back row of the car, got out haughtily and walked over. Looking at Amber, who was on the ground, she displayed no sign of sympathy on her face. Rather, she just sneered and said, "Amber Stone, did you do it on purpose? Did you fail to hook up with Rodney and now you're trying to get his attention in this way? I say, your tactics are too low-level, aren't they?"

Amber was extremely angry. "Mrs. Barron, you're indeed good at talking nonsense, right?"

"I'm talking nonsense? Didn't you use this kind of method to seduce Rodney in the beginning? Why, now that you've heard that my Rodney is going to be engaged to Celia, you can't be still anymore? Are you planning to do something again?"

Rachel stared at Amber with a look of disdain. During Amber's three years of marriage with Rodney, she had seen such a look on Rachel's face almost every day. In the past, she was Rachel's daughter-in-law. She couldn't talk back to Rachel because Rachel was her elder, but now that she was divorced, they were just strangers. For what reason should she tolerate Rachel's unreasonable behaviour?

Amber sneered, "Worry not. Meeting a cheating scumbag like Rodney, once is enough. If I want to have anything to do with him, I must be out of my mind!"

In the past, Amber had allowed her to beat and scold her at will. But today, Amber dared to criticise her precious son in her face. Rachel couldn't bear it and gave Amber a slap.

Amber was standing up in a struggle, but the slap made her fall to the ground again.

The bystanders couldn't bear watching Rachel bully Amber anymore and started to criticise Rachel one after another, "How could this person be like this? How could she be so arrogant after hitting someone? Let's call the police!"

Hearing that the people around them wanted to call the police, Rachel did not show any sign of fear. Instead, she raised her voice and said loudly, "What do all of you know about this? You think you are defending her against injustice? Let me tell you, this woman is famous for being vicious and despicable. Three years ago, she was a murderer. In order to seduce my son, she pushed my four-month pregnant daughter-in-law and caused her miscarriage!"

Rachel was really skillful in twisting the truth. As she said that, the atmosphere among the bystanders immediately changed. Everyone looked at Amber with disdain. "It's really hard to tell, isn't it? She's so young yet so wicked!"

Amber was so mad that she was trembling all over. She had wanted to settle this in a calm manner and leave, but because of Rachel's provocation, she grabbed her phone and called the police.

The police arrived very quickly, but Rachel was still brazen. "Do you know who my son is? He's Rodney Barron. My in-law is Mr. Black, the Chief Secretary. If you want to arrest me, you'll need to have the ability to do so."

Of course, the police had heard of Rodney Barron and knew Mr. Black, hence they didn't dare to handle it impartially. Instead, they turned around to persuade Amber. "This is just a small matter. How about we settle this privately by asking Mrs. Barron for some p*****t?"

"I won't settle this privately! Why should I do that?" Amber retorted.

"There won't be any significant outcome even if you sued her. You only suffered minor injuries and it was the chauffeur who was driving. The most you can get out of it is some compensation, that's it. Besides, she is Mr. Barron's mother and also Mr. Black's in-law, ordinary people like you can't beat them, can you?"

The police was stating the reality. As Amber listened, she felt that the words were unusually stinging. She insisted on not settling it in private.

The police had no choice. Seeing that Amber was injured, they had to send her to the hospital first. Amber's hands and feet were injured. A doctor treated her wounds, and as soon as the bandaging was done, hurried footsteps could be heard from the door. Soon, the door was pushed open, and Rodney appeared at the door with his special assistant, Deon.

Amber was stunned for a while when she saw Rodney. The doctor knew him and quickly greeted him respectfully, "Mr. Barron!"

"Please leave for a moment, I have to speak with her."

The doctor nodded and left immediately. Rodney looked down on Amber and said in a cold voice, "Say it, how much do you want?"

Not expecting Rodney to say such a thing as soon as he arrived, Amber trembled with anger. "Mr. Barron, do you think everyone is as shameless as you? Do you think everyone is so greedy and regards money as everything like you do?"

"That's right, you're noble and unique. But haven't you still fallen to such a wretched state?" Rodney scoffed, "Amber Stone, once you left me, you're nothing!"

He was the one who wanted a divorce and also the one who made her leave without giving her a penny. But now, this man was acting like she owed him something.

How could he be so shameless? Amber's heart was pierced. She pursed her lips, suppressing the sadness in her heart. She then smiled at Rodney and said, "Without you, at least I'm still Amber Stone. Did you know? Within the three years of being with you, I felt extremely miserable. Now I've finally reconnected with myself, and am living a free and happy life. I don't have to be beaten and scolded by your mother or tolerate your temper anymore. What else am I dissatisfied with?"

Rodney's eyes were fuming in anger. "Since that's the case, why did you come back?"

"The South City is my home. Do I have to ask for your permission when I come back, Mr. Barron?"

"That's not necessary. But Amber Stone, be honest with yourself, didn't you come back because you heard that I am going to get engaged to Celia?"

"Hah, Mr. Barron, you think too highly of yourself. Meeting a scumbag like you, once is tragic enough. I'd rather be blind than to disgust myself by seeing you again. So don't worry, I'll avoid you whenever I see you."

She addressed him respectfully, but her eyes were indifferent to the uttermost. Rodney felt very disturbed in his heart. Was the woman in front of him still the Amber Stone, whom he had loved for five years?

In the past, Amber always wore a sweet smile. She had never spoken meanly, and always liked to act cute while snuggling in his arms. However, the Amber in front of him was like a hedgehog. There was no trace of affection when she looked at him, only hatred and disgust.

It shouldn't be like this. She was the one who was at fault. What reason does she have to be so brazen?

Controlling the emotions in his heart, he replied, "That will be best. I hope that Miss. Stone will keep the promise and never appear before me again! Also, don't try to provoke Celia!"

Rodney threw a gold card harshly before Amber and left. She looked at the gold card in front of her, it was like money given to a beggar. She couldn't help but shed tears uncontrollably!

Three years ago, he heartlessly asked her to leave. Three years later, he sent her to the police station on the first day they met again. Now he cruelly humiliated her in such a way. She hated herself. Why did she fall in love with such a disgusting man? Why did she have to endure the three years of hell for such a man?
