Amber looked at Rodneyâs frowning and gloomy face and knew that he must be in a very heavy mood at the moment.
His father died early, and it was Rachel who raised him up. The mother and son had a deep relationship. Now that Rachel had been given the notice of critical illness, the doctor said that the operation was very risky. She might not be able to get off the operating table, or she might have been in a coma and become a vegetable.
At this moment, Amber had completely forgotten all the bullying and insults that Rachel had done to him. He only hoped that the heavens would bless him so that Rachel would be safe and sound. That way, Rodney would not be sad. At this moment, she realized that she was still deeply in love with Rodney. That was why she felt sad for him and anxious for him.
She gently touched Rodneyâs hand and said softly, âRodney, donât worry too much. Mrs. Barron is blessed by heaven. She will be safe and sound.â
Rodney looked up at her and said, âI hope so.â Then he turned his head away and stopped looking at her.
Amberâs heart sank. âOh no!â He thought to himself. âDid Rodney suddenly become so cold to me because he believed Riyaâs words and thought that Rachelâs injury was caused by her? If thatâs the case, it would be terrible. If Rachel doesnât wake up, no one can prove her innocence.â
Just as she was about to explain, Riya, who was sitting on her right, suddenly whispered, âIt sounds good. I donât know how to take pleasure in your misfortune!â
Amber suddenly turned his head and glared at her. âWhat did you say?â
âI said I was going to the bathroom.â Riya curled her lips, stood up, and turned to the bathroom in the corridor.
Walking into the bathroom, Riya took a deep breath. She checked the compartments one by one and made sure that there was no one inside. She quickly took out her mobile phone from her pocket and dialed a number.
After a while, the phone was connected. She said in a low voice, âThe matter has been settled. Rachel is having an operation.
The doctor said that the situation is not optimistic and it may be life-threatening. Even if she is rescued, it is hard to guarantee that she will not become a fool. Now Rodney has begun to doubt Amber and is very indifferent to her. Well, I will call you if there is any situation.â
Hanging up the phone, she looked up at her pale face in the mirror on the wall in front of her and took a deep breath. The scene that happened in the Barron family at noon came back to her mind again.
After Itzel came to the Barron familyâs house, she took the initiative to ask Rachel for a birdâs nest for Amber. Rachel agreed because of Itzelâs arrival.
She walked to the door with the birdâs nest in her hands. Suddenly, the villa was out of power. She shouted and asked the security guards in the security room to check what was wrong. The two security guards were busy checking around. When there was no oneâs idea, she let Shannon in.
After Shannon entered, she quickly entered the living room. Today, the nurse who took care of Rachel asked for leave. In the villa, there were only security guards and drivers. The driver, Ryan, received a call from his wife half an hour ago and left in a hurry. The security guards were busy looking for the sudden power failure outside. The monitor was blank because there was no electricity. Their plan had officially begun.
In the living room, Rachel was talking to Itzel. When she heard the noise, she turned around and saw Shannon, who was dressed up.
âWhy are you here?â Rachel looked at Shannon in surprise, and then she saw Riya coming in. âDidnât you go to deliver the birdâs nest? Why are you back?â
âThe driver isnât here. Weâll see him off later.â She answered and closed the door behind her.
âCall Ryan? Why isnât he working?â Rachel frowned.
âMrs. Barron, donât be so cruel. The driver is also a man, and he has his own business. Itâs really chilling for you to answer people like this.â Shannon sneered and said.
âYouâre not in charge of my family business.â Rachel sneered when she heard Shannonâs sarcasm.
âIâm going to interrupt.â Shannon sat down. âDonât you wonder why Iâm here?â
âWhy are you here?â
âIâm here to settle the score with you.â Shannon looked at Rachel with a fierce look in her eyes.
âYou wicked old witch, my daughter has been tricked by you to delay her youth for so many years, and she canât even get healthy because of this. How can you change your mind so easily? Are you a human?â
Shannon had always been polite to Rachel. She was so angry that Rachel gasped. âYou shameless mistress, how dare you come to my house to make trouble! Get out of here!â
âI wonât leave until I see your old witch get her retribution,â Shannon said slowly. âTo tell you the truth, I came here today to watch how you die.â
âYou are so lawless. Ask the security guards to drive her out!â Rachel ordered Riya, but she stood still. Rachel stared at her and said, âWhy donât you listen to me? Do you want to rebel?â
âCanât I?â Riya sneered. âSince I came to the Barron family, youâve been giving me the cold shoulder. If you donât like me, youâll scold me. Iâve always wanted to ask you, what on earth is your heart made of? How can you be so vicious?â
âListen, listen...â Rachel didnât expect that Riya, who had always swallowed her anger, would suddenly challenge her. She turned to Itzel, who had been silent.
âHave you ever seen such a arrogant servant? If I donât deal with you today, you wonât know what youâre capable of.â
As she said this, she grabbed the teacup and smashed it like Riya. Riya dodged it and pointed at Rachel. âYou old witch, how dare you be so fierce when you are about to die! Do you really think that no one can deal with you?â As she said this, she raised her hand and slapped Rachel.
Rachel had never dreamed that she would be slapped by a servant in her life. She was so angry that she gasped for breath.
âYou... you just wait and see how I will deal with you!â
âGet rid of me? Dream on!â Riya hated Rachel to the extreme. She was about to fight again, but Itzel, who had been silent for a long time, reached out to stop her. âItâs enough to slap you in the face! If you slap me too much, it will be a bad thing.â
Her words made Rachel turn to look at Itzel. âWhat do you mean?â
âIn fact, I really want to hit you, but I canât hit you now.â Itzel said slowly, âRachel, do you know how much I hate you? You are snobbish, selfish, insidious, and unreasonable like a shrew. I, Itzel, am really blind to make friends with a friend like you.â
âYou...â
âWhat?â Itzel sneered. âYouâre smart, but in fact, youâre as stupid as a pig. Donât you understand what youâre going to face now?â
âYouâre on the same team?â
âItâs too late for you to understand now, isnât it?â Shannon said, âSpeaking of you stupid woman, I want to laugh. I think Iâm smart, but in fact, Iâm doing stupid things. Do you know why my daughter, a virgin girl, is willing to be pregnant for your son? Do you really think itâs for Amberâs good? Let me tell you, itâs all my design. My daughter took a fancy to your son, and I felt that your family was good, so I had to fulfill my daughterâs wish. But you, an old witch, donât keep your word and do things. You wasted my daughterâs so many years of youth. I want to bite you at the thought of this!â
âAs expected, Celia has a purpose to approach me from the beginning. You shameless b*tch. You are a mistress, and you even let your daughter be a mistress. Do you want to spread the name of a mistress from generation to generation?â
âAnyway, you donât have much time left. Iâll let you have your fun. But before that, I have to tell you one thing. Do you know why Amber married Rodney for three years?â Shannon sneered. âIâm telling you, itâs not that Amber doesnât know how to give birth, but that we made her unable to give birth. Understand?â
âIn fact, she is not sick. The so-called illness was forged by me. As for whether she can give birth or not, it depends on her.â Itzel pointed at Riya.
âI fed Amber with an aphrodisiac. How could she get pregnant if she couldnât get pregnant?â Riya also sneered. âLater, we made her faint and secretly gave her a plastic surgery. It was even more impossible for her to get pregnant!
âWhy are you so vicious!â Rachel trembled with anger. Looking at the three womenâs malicious faces, she struggled and shouted, âGuard! Security!â
âDonât waste your effort. The security guards have been sent away by me. He canât hear your call for help.â Riya sneered. âMrs.
Barron, be good. Maybe you can leave in pain.â
âWhat do you want to do?â
âI donât want to do anything. Iâm just going to send some things in your birdâs nest that can cause miscarriage to Amber. Soon, the child in Amberâs belly will have a miscarriage because he ate something he shouldnât eat. The sick grandson will die without treatment, and the Barron family will have no children and no grandchildren...â
âIâll fight to the death with you!â Rachel was so angry that her face turned blue, and she made a hissing sound in her throat. She struggled to get up from the wheelchair and rushed to Itzel.
Riya reached out and pushed. Rachelâs legs had not recovered yet. Being pushed by her like this, she could not stand steadily and fell down immediately. Her head slammed heavily on the tea table and she fainted.
Riya reached out and tried her breath. âThereâs still Qi.â
âHelp her to the wheelchair first, and wait for the security guard to come back.â Itzel ordered. The three helped Rachel to sit in the wheelchair and let her turn her back to the door.
âRyan is about to come back. Letâs leave first. When the security guard comes back, you let him see Rachel sitting in the living room. When the security guard leaves, he will push her upstairs and throw her on the floor. Then he will immediately send the birdâs nest to Amber and lure her here.â
âWill Amber come?â
âYes, we have arranged it. Donât worry.â
âHe wonât wake up, will he?â
âNo, she is sick. Didnât you change the medicine she took during this period of time? Her illness was not controlled, so it caused her to be in a coma. Now she has fallen like this. It will be difficult for her to die. When you bring Amber here, I guess she will be fine.â Itzelâs plan was very precise.
Riya nodded and went out to have a look. The security guard on duty had not come back yet. She asked Shannon and Itzel to leave first. A few minutes after Shannon and Itzel left, the security guard also came back. One of the security guards went to the living room and reported, âIt was the nearby wood workers who built the branch and accidentally cut off the wire, which led to the power failure on our side. They have called to report the repair, and soon someone will come to repair it.â
âGot it. Go and do your work,â Riya ordered.
The security guard agreed, and the security guard left. Riya helped Rachel to the second floor, threw her on the floor, forged the scene, and left with stewed birdâs nest.
When he was about to go out, he ordered the security guard, âBe careful. Madam is sleeping in the morning upstairs.â
What happened afterward was that she went to send the birdâs nest and then led Amber to the Barron family. The birdâs nest was no longer Rachelâs birdâs nest, but a lost one. It was mixed with a hidden red flower. In order to prevent Amber from having a miscarriage after eating the birdâs nest, Shannon asked Celia to call Amber last night and deliberately showed discomfort when she asked her to send the birdâs nest. She also left a hidden red flower in the birdâs nest, so that Amber could tell that there was something wrong with the birdâs nest at a glance. Then she questioned Riya. Riya took the opportunity to ask her to find Rachel to confront the birdâs nest, and successfully made Rachel fall into a coma and marry Amber.
Judging from Rodneyâs attitude toward Amber just now, he should have suspected Amber. However, he had to wait and see. He hoped that Rachel would not wake up, or that she would simply become a vegetable. Only in this way could Amber be unable to defend himself.
Riya took a deep breath in front of the mirror, calmed down, and then walked out of the bathroom.
In the corridor, she could see from a distance that Rodney was waving his hands at Amber. He was agitated while Deon was trying to persuade him.
Riya was happy in her heart. Things began to develop according to their desi
