Chapter 76

Chapter 76 Elevator Accident

Amber straightened her body, and gave a smile, “Thank you, Stella. Without your help, I’m really at my wits‘ end.”

Goldstone. needed at least 100 million dollars to function normally. She had no idea where

she would get the 100 million if those banks took the money back.

She should definitely thank Stella for resolving her problem.

Stella waved her hands and said, “Ms. Reed, you don’t need to thank me. This is my responsibility as a subordinate to alleviate the boss’s worries.”

Amber smiled and felt her heart warm.

Stella’s phone rang just as she twisted her lips and was about to say something.

She looked at her phone before answering with a serious expression, “Hello?”

“Stella, we had found another location where the young master has stayed. Would you like to

take a look here?”

“Alright, I will buy the tickets now.”

After hanging up the phone, Stella turned to Amber and said, “Ms. Reed, I have to ask for leave. again. I have something important…”

“Just go ahead,” Amber replied with a smile and added, “I will treat you to a meal when you get

back.”

“Thank you, Ms. Reed. I’ll arrange for a driver to pick you up.”

After saying that, she kept her phone and left the room.

Amber ate something more in the private room. Then, she decided to leave and return to

Goldstone.

Just as she stepped out of the private room, the door to the opposite room was opened as

well. Jared and Ben came out of the room.

They were both stunned when they saw Amber,

Amber was also surprised because she had not expected to meet them here.

“Mr. Farrell.” Amber was the first to greet Jared in a friendly manner.

Jared responded with a slight nod.

Ben pushed up his spectacles and smiled politely at Amber, “Miss Reed.”

“Hello, Ben.” Amber smiled back at him.

Jared creased his eyebrows because his heart was uncomfortable.

She could even smile at Ben, but she always put on a poker face to him.

Sensing Jared’s sulkiness, Ben shivered and subconsciously kept his distance from him.

Amber had no intention of starting a conversation with them. Instead, she walked towards the

elevator after greeting them.

Jared also moved his legs.

The lift was rising, and three of them quietly waited at the lift entrance. The atmosphere was extremely depressing because none of them spoke.

Ben felt stressed after looking at Jared to his left and Amber to his right.

Why would they meet?

Ben rubbed his throbbing temples.

Finally, the lift arrived.

Amber was the first to walk in, followed by Jared and Ben.

Once inside the lift, Ben stood in the corner and pretended to be the invisible man.

The lift doors closed slowly and began to go down.

Suddenly, the light at the top of the lift flickered twice, and an electric current sound was

heard.

Ben raised his head. He swallowed before asking, “Did something happen to the lift?”

As soon as he finished his words, the lift shook violently.

Amber subconsciously screamed, and her face turned pale with fear.

In addition, she was wearing high heels. She couldn’t even stand up in the shaky elevator. Eventually, she twisted her foot.

She could even hear the sound of misaligned bones..

Amber broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain, and her expression distorted for a moment.

Just as she was about to fall, an arm wrapped around her waist.

Amber was stunned and asked, “What are you doing?”

Her voice had become hoarse as a result of the pain.

Jared hugged her in such a way that her back was pressed against his chest. Then, he said with a deep voice, “Don’t move, lean against me.”

Amber was reluctant and prepared to move his hands away from her waist.

Jared’s voice came again with a hint of non–negotiability, “If you don’t wish to hurt the other leg, just do what I told you.”

Amber’s hands came to a halt.

How did he know she had sprained her ankle?

It was impossible to tell how she truly felt. Finally, Amber no longer insisted on struggling to break free from Jared’s embrace. Instead, she remained motionless as she obediently leaned

into his arms.”

After all, she really didn’t want to injure both of her legs and end up going to work in a

wheelchair.

After about two minutes, the lift stopped swaying and descended safely to the first floor.

Amber was finally at ease when the lift doors opened, and she saw the bright light outside.

Ben tidied up his messy clothes and took the initiative in exiting the lift. Then, he stood at the lift’s door and held it open.

When Amber looked down at Jared’s hand on her waist, a flash of complexity came across her eyes. She said, “Mr. Farrell, could you please remove your hand now?”

“I’m sorry,” Jared said while taking his hand away.

Amber braced her hands on the lift wall to stabilize her body. Then, she shook her head and said, “Mr. Farrell doesn’t need to apologize. Instead, I should be the one to express my gratitude. Thank you, Mr. Farrell for your help just now.”

“You’re welcome.” Jared’s face turned grim when he looked at her pale and stoic face. Then, he shifted his gaze to her swollen ankle with a sense of heartache. He said, “Your foot…”

Amber also looked down and slightly moved her ankle. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Due to this movement, the pain spread throughout her body. She grunted in pain as the cold sweat seeped out again. Her breathing became more rapid, but she pretended not to be in pain. and smiled, “My foot is fine.”

Fine?

Jared pursed his lips when he saw the cold sweat on her forehead. Then, he bent down to pick her up and walked towards the lift.

Amber was stunned. After regaining her composure, she struggled and said, “Jared, what are you doing? Put me down now!”

“Don’t move! Or else you will fall,” Jared reminded her.

Amber’s face flushed, possibly from anger or shyness. Her body was extremely stiff, and she said, “Then you can just put me down.”

“Are you able to walk if I put you down?” Jared said as he swept a glance at her feet.

Amber choked for a moment before she grunted, “That’s none of your business.”

“This hotel belongs to the Farrell Group. Since I am the boss here and you were injured here, I have the responsibility to look after you.” Jared replied.

Ben, who was following behind them, was excited when he saw their backs.

When he was in the lift, he had seen clearly that Mr. Farrell did everything he could to protect

Ms. Reed, even when he couldn’t stand steadily. Moreover, worry and nervousness were written

all over Mr. Farrell’s face when he saw Ms. Reed got injured.

Mr. Farrell seemed to have feelings for Ms. Reed still.

Ben was thinking about this when he heard Jared call himself.

He quickly put his thoughts aside and walked towards the hotel lobby lounge. He greeted, “Mr. Farrell.”

“Go get some ice packs,” Jared instructed.

Ben nodded and did it immediately.

Soon, the ice packs arrived.

Jared took over the ice packs and sat next to Amber. He knelt to pick up her injured foot, placing it on his lap.

When he was about to remove her shoes, Amber stopped him and said, “Mr. Farrell, I can do it myself.”

Amber had no idea what got into him that he had suddenly treated her so well.

She would get in touch if he did this in the past. But she wouldn’t now. Her disappointed heart would not tremble again for his sudden kindness.

Amber removed her foot from Jared’s legs. Then, she took off her high heels and applied an ice pack to her foot to ease the pain.

Jared was frustrated when looking at her actions.

He didn’t like the way she kept her distance from him.

But why didn’t he say anything since he didn’t like it?

“Ms. Reed, I’m here to pick you up.” Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
