Chapter 96
Shannon did not stop her. She let Celia call Rachel. Celia told Rachel what had happened tonight vividly. “Ms. Grant, how could Amber be so vicious? She said that as long as Dad helped Rodney, she would report to Dad. Dad has no choice now. It seems that this matter will be ruined by him.”
Rachel was furious. “Damn Amber, she is taking revenge on Rodney! How can she be so cruel?” She said that Amber was so cruel that she didn’t even think about how cruel she was at that time.
“Yes, my mother and I are both begging her, but she has never given up… She even scolded my mother and me. Her words are so unpleasant!”
Rachel sighed. She was very clear about Amber’s temper and eloquence. When she was in a tit for tat with her, she did not get any good. It seemed that she could not count on Channing. Thinking about it, it was not Celia’s fault. She did not complain to Celia, but was very reasonable. “I will tell Rodney about this matter and let him think of a way again.”
Shannon didn’t expect Rachel to be so kind, so she went downstairs to make tea for Channing.
After hanging up the phone, Rachel was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. She immediately called Rodney to tell him that it was her son’s idea. As soon as she made the call, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open and Rodney came back.
“Rodney, you came back just in time!” Rachel threw the phone in her hand onto the coffee table. “I’m so pissed off!”
“Mom, you’re in poor health. Why are you so angry?” Rodney’s face was full of fatigue.
“How can you not be angry? Amber, you little b*tch, how dare you play tricks behind our backs.” Rachel repeated what Celia said to Rodney. “Rodney, you can’t count on Channing this time. You’d better think of another way!”
“I know!” Rodney comforted her. “I’m in charge of the company. You don’t have to worry.”
Rachel wanted to complain to her son, but when she saw his tired face, she had to swallow what she wanted to say. “Go up and have a rest!”
Rodney nodded, got up, and went upstairs. He entered the room and closed the door. He lay down on the bed wearily. He was very surprised by what his mother had just said. In his impression, Amber was not the kind of person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. How could he do this to him?
In fact, he did not expect Channing to do anything for him in this sports meeting, so he went to find Governor John in the provincial capital in advance.
Governor John told him that the sports meeting in South City was of great importance to the provincial government. Not only did it require strong financial resources, but it also required the design of a new sports venue. Governor John hoped that the bidding company could produce some new design works. Governor John hoped that after this sports meeting, these venues could be made into landmark buildings and formed a city’s fine-quality district. Therefore, only by meeting these two requirements could there be a possibility of success.
After Rodney got the news, he quickly asked his subordinates to start writing the design draft with a large sum of money. It was impossible for the Thomson family not to know what he could know. Elliot was also busy carrying out the plan. No one doubted the strength and ability of the Barron Enterprises and the Parableutions. Now, it was time to see who could come up with the design draft to persuade the experts to judge.
Rachel stayed alone in the living room, feeling bored. She went back to her room and lay on the bed. She felt uncomfortable. If she had known that Amber was Channing’s daughter, she would not have tortured her like that.
If she didn’t torture him, she would definitely have given birth to a child for him. She had a powerful father as her backer and a grandson, so her son wouldn’t treat her like this. It was such a wonderful thing for the family to be happy. But now it was not the case. There was an enemy for no reason. It was not worth it.
Amber didn’t sleep well that night. It was all because of his son’s illness. When she got up in the morning, she found that her eyes were a little dark. Aunt Maleah cooked millet porridge. After drinking a bowl of porridge, she went to the company in a hurry. Elliot came very early today and was talking to Walter in the office.
“It seems that he doesn’t trust this father-in-law of his!”
Amber was stunned. “Did Rodney go to the provincial capital to look for someone?”
Elliot nodded. “However, it’s useless to look for it. This time, it’s clearly written that it’s fair and just. The most important thing is not to have the strength but to take out a new draft of the Forging Design.”
Amber smiled bitterly. No wonder Channing didn’t respond to her threat last night. It turned out that he had known the result. She suddenly felt a little angry. Looking at her face, Elliot felt a little strange. “You don’t seem to be very happy?”
“No.” Amber forced a smile. “Is the focus of your work now being to find a designer?”
Elliot nodded. “The old master called and said that there was a rumor that Issac might be hiding in South City. He asked me to spend a lot of effort to find him.”
“Is Issac a famous designer?” Amber asked.
“He is not only a designer, but also a genius in the field of design. More than 30 years ago, he became famous. At the age of 25, he won the supreme award for buildings, Prideste. At that time, many famous
foreign architecture and sports venues were designed by him.”
“In that case, he should be a famous person. But why haven’t I heard of him?” Amber was confused.
“His English name has always been designed in English, and his English name is Dyou,” Elliot replied.
The D.D. was the most famous international figure in the history of architecture. He was known as a ghostly designer in the industry of architecture. His design works were all classic, but this ghostly designer suddenly disappeared when his reputation was at its peak.
It was said that he had an incurable disease and was no longer alive. There was also a rumor that he saw through the mortal world and became a monk for a woman. Whether the rumor was true or not, Issac’s departure had become a great loss in the art of design. Amber never dreamed that there was another person named Issac’er in D country. “I always thought that D country was a French, but didn’t he say that he was dead?”
“He didn’t die. Something happened that year. He was disheartened, so he concealed his identity and lived in seclusion in South City.” Elliot explained.
“What is it?” Amber was surprised.
“There are not many people who know about this matter. I was told by my grandfather. When Issac rose to fame, he was the favorite of the upper class in France. Many rich businessmen were his friends. Although Issac was a doctor, he was very knowledgeable about ancient paintings, because many rich businessmen in France liked to ask him to appreciate and buy ancient paintings for them.”
“Because of this, Issac was entrusted by a rich businessman from France to buy a few ancient paintings in the country, but he didn’t expect that the final appraisal of the ancient painting was a replica.
“For this reason, the rich businessman wanted to sue Issac in court. Later, someone gave way to him, so he lost all his property. Fortunately, the rich businessman didn’t hit him when he was down. After he got some money back, he asked someone to block the news and kept some of Issac’s reputation. Therefore, only a few people knew about this matter. The outside world only knew that Issac suddenly disappeared, but they didn’t know why.”
“That’s why he disappeared?” Amber found it unbelievable. “Since he is a genius in the industry of architecture, he shouldn’t have done such a thing because of money. After all, he can make a lot of money with a single job.”
“It’s not just that. There is a rumor that it has nothing to do with the ancient painting. It’s because his beloved woman married into another man’s wife. He loved this woman deeply. He was disheartened and wanted to see through the mortal world, so he disappeared from the public’s sight.” Elliot explained.
“It’s true that the human world is obsessed with love. Such a genius can’t escape from the shackles of love.” Amber sighed.
“What a pity for a design genius to die because of this!” Elliot sighed as well.
“Since we are sure that Issac is living in seclusion in South City, we will spend a lot of effort to find him. If we can find him and persuade him to design a venue for us, there is nothing to worry about.” Walter interrupted.
“Since he’s hiding his identity, it won’t be easy to find him.” Amber shook his head. “I suggest you don’t put your focus on him.”
“I know. I’m going to see a few designers outside the country right away. I won’t be in the office for the next two days. I’ll leave you off for a rest,” Elliot said as he stood up.
Elliot and Walter left the company. Amber went back to the rental apartment. Seeing her return, Ashton was very happy. “I’m going to buy some vegetables and cook.”
“Uncle, it’s still early for lunch. There’s no rush.” Amber stopped him. “Let’s talk.” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Ashton sat down. “Did Channing and that woman treat you well?”
“That’s it.” Amber answered and told Ashton about what happened in the Black family. “Channing was so straightforward last night. I thought he felt guilty about me, but I didn’t expect that he just pushed the boat with the current. It’s so hateful!”
“If he didn’t hate it, he wouldn’t have cheated on your mother,” Ashton replied. “You mustn’t believe him. He’s the best at setting up a trap in person.”
“I know. I’m not going back to talk to him about father and daughter. I’m going back for money.” Amber sneered. “When Channing fulfills his promise, I’ll leave immediately. Don’t look at their disgusting tricks anymore.”
“I just don’t know if Channing will give it to you. After all, those ancient paintings are not his.” Ashton was worried.
“Also, that woman is very cunning. Don’t confront her face-to-face next time. It’s easy for people to gossip about it. Channing’s heart has been biased. If you go against that woman like this, he will be even more biased.”
“In the past, I always thought that enduring was a blessing, so I didn’t fight for anything. But so what? The heavens still treat me like this and let my Mel suffer such a disease. I hate it so much!”
Amber’s eyes flashed with cruelty. “Didn’t Channing want me to go back and play a family and enjoy everything? I didn’t like him. My mother is dead and my son is seriously ill. Why should I let them have
a good time? I just want to disturb them and make them upset.”
“Amber, think about it. Mel’s illness is not incurable.” Ashton comforted him. “We have time. It’ll be fine as long as we find the bone marrow.”
“That’s easy to say, but it’s not easy to find the bone marrow.” Amber sighed and told Ashton the doctor’s advice. “Uncle, this time I came back not only for wealth, but also for getting the sperm of Rodney and giving birth to a child. Only in this way can my Mel be safe.”
Hearing this, Ashton was silent for a while. “No matter what you want to do, I will unconditionally support you. I only hate myself for being useless and not being able to help you.”
“Uncle, I’m just upset to tell you. I don’t mean to blame you. You’ve done enough for me.”
Amber held Ashton’s hand and said, “I don’t know why I’ve been very upset recently. I found that I seem to have changed into another person. I just don’t want to see Mr. Barron having a better life, and the mistress and daughter having a better life. Uncle, am I bad?”
“Amber, you’re not a bad child. I’ve watched you grow up. I know that you’re kind-hearted, just like your mother. You’re forced to do this. They forced you to do this! Even a rabbit bites when it’s angry. You’re not wrong!”
“Now that I saw mistress and her daughter, I was so angry that I wanted to teach them a lesson. Didn’t they want to give the sports meeting to Mr. Barron? I threatened Channing so that he didn’t dare to cheat. But I didn’t expect that this time, Channing couldn’t make the decision. He sent a document to the provincial government. This time, I really let them off!”
Amber thought about it and felt so unwilling. “I now pray that Elliot’s men can find D!”
