Chapter 157: Chapter 159

Pierce agreed to leave. After Mel fell asleep, Amber stood at the gate of the Hammond family and looked around uneasily. Every few minutes, he looked at his mobile phone. Why didn’t Pierce call him? Was there anything wrong with Rodney?

She was worried when the phone rang. Amber picked it up. “Pierce, have you found it?”

“I’m not Pierce!” Rodney’s deep voice rang out.

“It’s you. Where are you? Your special assistant, Deon, is looking for you everywhere...”

“Amber, I have something to tell you.” Rodney interrupted her. “Can you not marry Pierce?”

Amber was silent for a moment. “No!”

“Am I really so guilty that I can’t be forgiven? Can’t you forgive me once?”

Amber didn’t say anything. Was Rodney really so guilty that he couldn’t be forgiven? In the past, she hated him and thought that he couldn’t be forgiven. But when she knew the truth, her hatred for him began to decrease. She once considered how to reunite with him for the sake of the child. She really considered it. But with Rachel around, she didn’t think much of the future. She controlled herself. “You clearly know that it’s a fire pit, but you still jump into it. Are you not a fool?”

“Fire Pit? Hahaha!” Rodney laughed bitterly. “Amber, I’ve never forgotten my promise to you. I’ve never forgotten. Do you know?”

“So what? They can’t go back!” Amber’s face was cold. He reached out and wiped his face, trying to make himself as calm as possible. “Rodney, I’m about to be 30 years old. I’m no longer the kind of girl who loves to dream and swear. Do you know?

Everything you said has disappeared long ago. I don’t remember it!”

This meant that she didn’t care about his oath. Rodney looked up at the sky and felt extremely bitter in his heart. “Amber, I really want to pretend to be generous and wish you happiness, but I can’t do it. Anyway, I am already extremely shameless in your heart, so I don’t care about one more thing. I hope you and Pierce won’t be happy, because only I can give you your happiness!”

Hearing his words, Amber was not angry at all. “Rodney, I don’t need your blessing for my happiness. You should go back to the hotel as soon as possible. Your special assistant is looking for you. He’s very anxious. You can call him back! Or tell me where you are and I’ll ask him to go and find you.”

Hearing her indifferent voice, Rodney felt desperate in his heart. She was not angry at all. Sure enough, she didn’t care about him at all. He reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. “I’ll go back right away!”

The phone suddenly stopped!

Amber held the phone and stood in the living room in a daze. Six years ago, Rodney stood in front of her and told her firmly that Amber would marry me. Only by marrying me would you be happy. But now, he said, “I don’t want you to be happy, because only I can give you your happiness!”

How ironic! Rodney, my happiness will not be controlled by you. I will let you see it. Without you, I will definitely be happy!

It didn’t take long for Pierce to come back. He said that Rodney had returned to the hotel. Amber was relieved and the night passed just like that.

The next morning, Pierce and Amber drove to the wedding ceremony. Because of their status, they didn’t need to make an appointment like ordinary people did when they got married. They had to wait for the notice.

The staff said that they could handle all the procedures immediately. The staff gave them a form and asked them to fill in. This was the marriage permit of the U.S., which was equivalent to a native letter to the Civil Affairs Bureau. The staff saw that they did not bring any witnesses, and reminded Pierce that he needed a witness. Pierce called the old lady.

After completing the form, it was to get the marriage certificate. In the United States, the marriage certificate was different from that of native people. It was to hold a ceremony in the United States. The registration party would make an oath in front of the host, exchange for the wedding ring, and the witness would sign the marriage certificate.

Amber and Pierce were taken into a small room. The ceremony was hosted by the registration staff. Seeing that Amber was a foreigner, the staff asked her if she knew English. If she didn’t know, they could ask another priest who knew native to host it for them.

Amber could understand, so the staff began to host the ceremony. The staff repeated the words of Amber and Pierce. In short, they were the words the priest said when they got married, but they became native.

Halfway through the vow, the butler called. “Young Master, bad news. Mel is gone!”

Amber and Pierce were shocked. They couldn’t care less about the ceremony. They apologized to the host and ran out. Along the way, they were so anxious that they rushed to the Pierce Residence. The housekeeper stood at the door and waited. “What the hell is going on?”

“Young Master, I’m sorry! It’s my fault. I don’t know what’s going on. I saw that Mel was having a good time in the room, so I went to make a cup of tea. When I came out, Mel was gone. I thought he was naughty and looked around, but I didn’t find him, so I called you.”

“Hurry up and watch the surveillance video!” Pierce immediately ordered the surveillance video. When the housekeeper went to make tea, Mel went to the living room to pick up the phone. It was unknown who was calling. After the phone call, he went out of the Pierce Mansion alone. At the gate of the Pierce Mansion, there was a car parked. Seeing Mel coming out, a person jumped out of the car and quickly got on the car and left with Mel in his arms.

“Who is he? Why did he take Mel away?” Pierce and Amber looked at each other and said, “Rodney? It must be him! Go and find him right now!”

Pierce took Amber to the hotel where Rodney lived in a hurry. The front desk of the hotel said that he was in the room. Pierce and Amber went straight to his room. They pressed the doorbell for a long time. Finally, the door opened, and a pungent smell of wine came into their nostrils.

Rodney staggered as he supported himself against the door. Without even raising his head, he asked, “What are you doing?”

Amber frowned. “Rodney, where’s my son?”

Hearing her voice, Rodney looked at her drunkenly. “It’s you? I’m not dreaming, am I?”

Then, he saw Amber standing behind Amber. He chuckled. “I said I won’t bless you. What are you doing here?”

“Mu, did you send someone to take my son away?” Amber was furious.

“Isn’t your son my son?” Rodney stuck out his tongue. “Why should I take my son away?”

“Rodney, don’t pretend. Hand over my son, or I won’t be kind to you!”

“You’re already being rude to me!” Rodney stretched out his hand and held Amber’s shoulder. “Amber, you killed people without seeing their blood! You’re stabbing me with a knife. Do you know! I’m living a life worse than death! I’m living a life worse than death!”

“Get lost!” Amber stretched out his hand to push him away. Rodney lost his balance and fell to the ground. His head hit the ground heavily. Amber saw that the skin on his forehead was broken and there was blood oozing out, but he didn’t feel any pain.

He just looked at Amber blankly. There were thousands of meanings in Rodney’s eyes. Poor, bitter, and wronged... Amber’s heart skipped a beat, and his words were stuck in Amber’s throat.

Pierce, who was behind him, interrupted, “Rodney, don’t implicate the children in adult affairs. Mel is sick. If anything happens to her, what will happen to her?”

“Pierce, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t want to see you either. Get out of here!” Rodney had no way to deal with Amber, but he couldn’t be polite to Pierce. It was this man who took his wife away from him. Otherwise, his family would live a happy life.

Hearing this, Pierce’s face suddenly turned cold, and he said rudely, “Rodney, if you are a man, don’t talk about the child.”

“What happened?” Deon came back from outside. He was shocked to see Rodney lying on the ground. “What’s going on?”

He reached out to help Rodney up and looked at Amber and Pierce with unfriendly eyes. “What are you doing, President Pierce?

Don’t you think you’ve gone too far?”

“What do you know? Rodney took my son away. I’m here to take him away.” Amber was fuming.

“Miss. Stone, are you mistaken? Mr. Barron has never been out of the hotel since he came back last night. How could he take your son away?”

“If it’s not him, it’s his mother.” Amber was convinced of them.

“Impossible! I just sent my wife back to the country and didn’t see her take the child away.” After saying that, Deon suddenly remembered something and his face changed. “Could it be?”

Today was the day that Deon sent Rachel to the plane. Deon had always been worried that Rachel would not listen to him and would not return home obediently. Although last night, Rodney had given him a strict order that Rachel would take her away even if she did not want to be tied up, Rachel was still Mr. Barron’s mother. If she really did this, it was inevitable that there would be more estrangement between the mother and the son.

After Rodney came back last night and ordered him to send his mother back, he had been locked in the room and did not come out. When Deon saw Rachel off in the morning, he knocked at the door and ignored him. Deon knew that Amber and Pierce were going to get married, so he was unhappy, so he did not disturb him and went straight to Rachel’s room.

He was worried that Rachel would refuse to leave, but he did not expect that Rachel did not make things difficult for him. She said very straightforwardly that she would go back home, but she said that she would take her friends with her.

Deon naturally agreed. He sent Rachel to the place where the private plane was parked. Rachel’s friend had not arrived yet.

After waiting for a while, he saw the car coming over. Two strange men got out of the car with a child in their arms. The child slept very well and was covered with a coat.

Rachel saw the two people warmly welcome them and asked them to board the plane. Deon was still confused at that time. He had been with Rodney for a long time. How could he not know that his wife knew such two people?

However, he couldn’t care so much. As long as his wife was willing to go back, the task would be completed. After the two men took the child to the plane, Rachel immediately got on the plane and urged Deon to get on the plane quickly.

Deon wanted to go back with them, but he was worried about Rodney, so he stayed. Now hearing Amber’s words, he suddenly thought of the child in the arms of two men. Was the child Mel?

Just as Deon was lost in thought, Breanna rushed over and said, “Brother, I just received a call from Mrs. Barron. She asked me to tell you that she brought Mel back to our country!”

“What did you say?” Pierce raised his voice. “When did this happen?”

“Just now, I rushed over as soon as I received her call. I thought she was joking.”

Breanna looked at the unfriendly crowd and said, “She said that she took a private jet and brought a doctor with her. She told you not to worry...”

“Bastard! Don’t you worry?” Pierce was so angry that he swore. Then he looked at Rodney and said, “Mr. Barron, you really know how to act!”

Amber looked at Rodney. His heart, which originally had a little sympathy for him because of his injury, suddenly became as cold as iron. “Book a ticket immediately. If I want to return to our country, no one can take my son away from me!”
