Chasing My Rejected Wife

Compare and Despair

Amber didn't know if Elliot was telling the truth or not, but she wouldn't give up even on the slightest chance. So, she rushed to the Light Universe Hotel at once.

Upon arriving at the Light Universe Hotel, she opened the car door in a hurry and ran into the hotel as fast as she could towards the lift. As she took a step into the lift, she saw Rodney and Celia at a glance.

It was too late to retreat. Besides, there was no reason to. She wasn't guilty of anything, so why should she be afraid of this adulterous pair?

Seeing that Amber came into the lift, Celia immediately leaned against Rodney. He became a little stiff. He glanced at Amber from the corner of his eyes. She didn't even look at him, just standing aside with her arms crossed, and her expression was as cold as ice.

He felt angry but kept it in his heart. He wanted to push Celia away at first, but seeing that Amber ignored him, he turned to hold Celia instead.

Amber was not paying attention to them at all. Her phone rang again and she hastily took it out from her pocket. Elliot's voice was heard saying, "30 minutes is up!"

"I'm already in the lift!"

"I only gave you 30 minutes. Since you didn't follow the rules, then let's drop this matter!"

Hearing Elliot's cold voice, Amber became anxious. "Elliot Thomson, you can't do this! I'm already here. There was a traffic jam, you can't blame it on me!"

Watching how she was explaining herself so anxiously, Rodney's heart was fuming. This d*mn woman. Back when they were still dating, he was always the one who had to wait for her. Every time, she would be late, but he had never seen her apologising about it. It was true that without comparison, there would be no misery!

Rodney was all steamed up. Then, the lift stopped. Amber rushed out and went straight to the room where Elliot was at.

By observing Rodney's expression, Celia could tell that he was angry. Thinking that it was an opportune moment, she added, "Miss. Stone seems to be together with Mr. Thomson now. Mr. Thomson is such a playboy..."

"Do you have anything to do with other people's business?" Rodney was unhappy.

Seeing that his reaction was cold and grumpy, Celia felt a little embarrassed.

Amber hurriedly pushed open the room door. Elliot was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed while Walter was standing next to him. She squeezed out a smile on her face and greeted, "Mr. Thomson!"

"Humph!" responded Elliot while he glanced at the watch on his wrist.

"You're late, Miss. Stone!"

"Mr. Thomson, I'm sorry!" replied Amber with a smile on her face.

"Sorry? You do know my rules, right?"

"Yes, I do! Mr. Thomson, regarding the kidney source..."

Elliot raised his bandaged wrist and blew on it. He shot a glance at Amber and said, "Regarding the kidney source, it's just a snap for me, but..."

Amber held back her impatience and replied, "As long as Mr. Thomson can help me, I'm willing to do anything!"

"Willing to do anything?" Elliot drawled.

"Um... except for that...," Amber stammered.

Elliot raised his eyebrows and thought that this woman was quite interesting. Other women were all head over heels for him, but she was very resistant to having anything to do with him.

His favourite thing to do was to seek novelty. Amber was such a beauty and was exactly his cup of tea. Such things couldn't be rushed.

As he was thinking, Elliot put on a smile that was out of this world. "Do you still want to fire me?"

"No, not anymore."

"Since that's the case, then sign this contract." Elliot gave Walter a signal. Walter opened his briefcase, took out the contract, and handed it to Amber.

Amber took the contract, feeling a little puzzled. "What is this?"

"This is the employment contract. Didn't you fire me before this? So, let's sign the contract again. Your uncle's kidney source is on me. And the prerequisite is that you need to come back to work at the office."

Amber looked through the contract and didn't notice anything different. The doctor had said that her uncle's condition allowed no time to be wasted. She couldn't let anything happen to him. She would give her all for her uncle. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and picked up the pen to sign.

Elliot's gaze was focused on Amber. Seeing that she had signed the contract, he signalled Walter to put it away. Then, he smirked at Amber and said, "The contract is effective from now on. I will fulfil my duties and I also hope that you can remember your responsibilities. Remember to be on call at all times!"

It was late at night, a black car with smooth lines was parked below the apartment where Amber and Ashton lived.

The lights were dim, and a flickering cigarette in the car reflected on a man's gloomy face.

The branded watch on his wrist pointed at three o'clock in the morning, but the woman was still nowhere to be seen.

Having been waiting in the car for five hours, Rodney curled his lips.

When he saw the woman and Elliot leave the hotel together intimately, he knew that she would stay out for the night. However, he still couldn't control himself that he had to come and have a look.

There was still a trace of fantasy in his heart. But reality had proven that his fantasy was nothing more than a fantasy after all.

Throwing away the cigarette butt roughly, he started the engine, and soon the car disappeared into the boundless night.

When he got home, his mother, Rachel, was still awake and waiting for him in the living room. When she saw Rodney back home, she complained, "Rodney, what's wrong with you? Mr. Black finally had the time to dine with us. What's the matter with you leaving halfway?"

"Mum, I have business to attend to! Didn't I explain it to you?" Rodney looked tired.

"Business? Isn't it because of Amber Stone? Rodney, I know you can't forget her, but that little b*tch was so evil. Not only was she so heartless to you, but she also caused the death of Celia's child. Why are you still missing such a vicious woman?"

"Mom, I'm not missing her!" Rodney denied.

"It's best if you don't miss her. You're not young anymore, and Celia likes you so much. Both her identity and appearance match you well. You two should get married and give birth to a chubby baby boy as soon as possible. Then, I can rest assured."

"Let's talk about this another time. I'm exhausted. Let's go up and have a rest first!"

Rachel sighed when she saw her son's tired face. It had been three years. Within the three years, he had been as busy as a bee. The company was expanding bigger and bigger, and more and more money was earned. However, he never showed a smile on his face. It was all because of Amber, that jinx!

That despicable jinx! Since she had left in the first place, why did she come back now? She must have heard that Rodney was going to be engaged to Celia so she purposely came back to make trouble! Rachel's face darkened and thought, "No, I have to talk to that jinx! Let her stay away from my son, leave the South City like three years ago, and never appear for the rest of her life!"

...

...

Amber went to the hospital to accompany her uncle after leaving Elliot that night. As soon as the day dawned, she got up quietly and went to the market, planning to buy a chicken  to make some soup for her uncle.

Arriving at the community gate while carrying the chicken, she saw Rachel with a cold face at a glance.

Seeing Amber, Rachel came over and stopped her. "I have something to say to you."

"I'm not free!" Amber refused directly.

"Only a few words." Rachel had specially came and waited for her, so she naturally would not let her go. "Amber Stone, name a price!"

"Name a price?"

"That's right. I know that you were resentful when you got divorced without any share of property. So, you've purposely came back to make trouble when you saw that Rodney was about to get engaged. I'm telling you, I will never let Rodney be with you. You better give up!"

"Don't worry, Mrs. Barron. Your intentions are also my intentions." Amber retorted.

"Is that so? If that's the case, then leave South City immediately. I'll give you money. Once you get the money, leave right away!"

Amber looked at the domineering woman, her previous mother-in-law in front of her and laughed instead of being angry. "Mrs. Barron, how much are you planning to give me?"

"How about one million?" Seeing that Amber just sneered and did not speak, she quickly added, "Two million dollars. If you leave immediately, I can add another five hundred thousand dollars!"

"Two million and five hundred thousand dollars? Mrs. Barron, you think I'm stupid?"

"How much do you want then?"

Amber stretched out a finger. Rachel frowned and said, "Ten million? Amber Stone, do you think I'm an easy mark?"

"Incorrect, Mrs. Barron. I want a hundred million dollars. Give me one hundred million and I'll leave at once!"

"One hundred million? Have you become crazy just thinking about money?" Rachel's expression changed.

"Didn't you ask me to name the price? Let me tell you, give me a hundred million dollars and I will leave immediately. Otherwise, you can just forget about it!"

"Shameless b*tch, you're so ungrateful!" Rachel was so angry that she started to curse. Amber sneered and said, "What's wrong, Mrs. Barron? Are you angry because you're embarrassed? Since you can't give the named price, why are you pretending like you're so wealthy?"

"Amber Stone, don't be so brazen. I haven't held you accountable for Celia's miscarriage. If you don't listen to me, then don't blame me!"

"Really? I would like to see what you want to do. You wouldn't want your future daughter-in-law to be in infamy as a mistress, do you? The Chief Secretary's daughter willingly becoming a mistress and destroying other people's family, this can't be a small news, right?"

"You!" She didn't expect the previously quiet Amber to be so powerful. Rachel was speechless for a moment. Amber didn't have time to deal with her nonsense. She moved passed her and strode away.

Watching Amber walk away, Rachel sneered. "Little b*tch, you're too naive to be fighting with me. Prepare to die!"
