Shannon did not stop her. She let Celia call Rachel. Celia told Rachel what had happened tonight vividly. âMs. 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.â
Rachel was furious. âDamn Amber, she is taking revenge on Rodney! How can she be so cruel?â She said that Amber was so cruel that she didnât even think about how cruel she was at that time.
âYes, 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!â
Rachel sighed. She was very clear about Amberâs 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 Celiaâs fault. She did not complain to Celia, but was very reasonable. âI will tell Rodney about this matter and let him think of a way again.â
Shannon didnât 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 sonâs idea. As soon as she made the call, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open and Rodney came back.
âRodney, you came back just in time!â Rachel threw the phone in her hand onto the coffee table. âIâm so pissed off!â
âMom, youâre in poor health. Why are you so angry?â Rodneyâs face was full of fatigue.
âHow can you not be angry? Amber, you little b*tch, how dare you play tricks behind our backs.â Rachel repeated what Celia said to Rodney. âRodney, you canât count on Channing this time. Youâd better think of another way!â
âI know!â Rodney comforted her. âIâm in charge of the company. You donât have to worry.â
Rachel wanted to complain to her son, but when she saw his tired face, she had to swallow what she wanted to say. âGo up and have a rest!â
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 cityâs 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 Channingâs daughter, she would not have tortured her like that.
If she didnât 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 wouldnât 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 didnât sleep well that night. It was all because of his sonâs 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.
âIt seems that he doesnât trust this father-in-law of his!â
Amber was stunned. âDid Rodney go to the provincial capital to look for someone?â
Elliot nodded. âHowever, itâs useless to look for it. This time, itâs clearly written that itâs fair and just. The most important thing is not to have the strength but to take out a new draft of the Forging Design.â
Amber smiled bitterly. No wonder Channing didnât 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. âYou donât seem to be very happy?â
âNo.â Amber forced a smile. âIs the focus of your work now being to find a designer?â
Elliot nodded. âThe 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.â
âIs Issac a famous designer?â Amber asked.
âHe 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.â
âIn that case, he should be a famous person. But why havenât I heard of him?â Amber was confused.
âHis English name has always been designed in English, and his English name is Dyou,â 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, Issacâs departure had become a great loss in the art of design. Amber never dreamed that there was another person named Issacâer in D country. âI always thought that D country was a French, but didnât he say that he was dead?â
âHe didnât die. Something happened that year. He was disheartened, so he concealed his identity and lived in seclusion in South City.â Elliot explained.
âWhat is it?â Amber was surprised.
âThere 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.â
âBecause of this, Issac was entrusted by a rich businessman from France to buy a few ancient paintings in the country, but he didnât expect that the final appraisal of the ancient painting was a replica.
âFor 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 didnât hit him when he was down. After he got some money back, he asked someone to block the news and kept some of Issacâs reputation. Therefore, only a few people knew about this matter. The outside world only knew that Issac suddenly disappeared, but they didnât know why.â
âThatâs why he disappeared?â Amber found it unbelievable. âSince he is a genius in the industry of architecture, he shouldnât have done such a thing because of money. After all, he can make a lot of money with a single job.â
âItâs not just that. There is a rumor that it has nothing to do with the ancient painting. Itâs because his beloved woman married into another manâs wife. He loved this woman deeply. He was disheartened and wanted to see through the mortal world, so he disappeared from the publicâs sight.â Elliot explained.
âItâs true that the human world is obsessed with love. Such a genius canât escape from the shackles of love.â Amber sighed.
âWhat a pity for a design genius to die because of this!â Elliot sighed as well.
âSince 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.â Walter interrupted.
âSince heâs hiding his identity, it wonât be easy to find him.â Amber shook his head. âI suggest you donât put your focus on him.â
âI know. Iâm going to see a few designers outside the country right away. I wonât be in the office for the next two days. Iâll leave you off for a rest,â 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. âIâm going to buy some vegetables and cook.â
âUncle, itâs still early for lunch. Thereâs no rush.â Amber stopped him. âLetâs talk.â
Ashton sat down. âDid Channing and that woman treat you well?â
âThatâs it.â Amber answered and told Ashton about what happened in the Black family. âChanning was so straightforward last night. I thought he felt guilty about me, but I didnât expect that he just pushed the boat with the current. Itâs so hateful!â
âIf he didnât hate it, he wouldnât have cheated on your mother,â Ashton replied. âYou mustnât believe him. Heâs the best at setting up a trap in person.â
âI know. Iâm not going back to talk to him about father and daughter. Iâm going back for money.â Amber sneered. âWhen Channing fulfills his promise, Iâll leave immediately. Donât look at their disgusting tricks anymore.â
âI just donât know if Channing will give it to you. After all, those ancient paintings are not his.â Ashton was worried.
âAlso, that woman is very cunning. Donât confront her face-to-face next time. Itâs easy for people to gossip about it. Channingâs heart has been biased. If you go against that woman like this, he will be even more biased.â
âIn the past, I always thought that enduring was a blessing, so I didnât 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!â
Amberâs eyes flashed with cruelty. âDidnât Channing want me to go back and play a family and enjoy everything? I didnât 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.â
âAmber, think about it. Melâs illness is not incurable.â Ashton comforted him. âWe have time. Itâll be fine as long as we find the bone marrow.â
âThatâs easy to say, but itâs not easy to find the bone marrow.â Amber sighed and told Ashton the doctorâs advice. âUncle, 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.â
Hearing this, Ashton was silent for a while. âNo 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.â
âUncle, Iâm just upset to tell you. I donât mean to blame you. Youâve done enough for me.â
Amber held Ashtonâs hand and said, âI donât know why Iâve been very upset recently. I found that I seem to have changed into another person. I just donât want to see Mr. Barron having a better life, and the mistress and daughter having a better life. Uncle, am I bad?â
âAmber, youâre not a bad child. Iâve watched you grow up. I know that youâre kind-hearted, just like your mother. Youâre forced to do this. They forced you to do this! Even a rabbit bites when itâs angry. Youâre not wrong!â
âNow that I saw mistress and her daughter, I was so angry that I wanted to teach them a lesson. Didnât they want to give the sports meeting to Mr. Barron? I threatened Channing so that he didnât dare to cheat. But I didnât expect that this time, Channing couldnât make the decision. He sent a document to the provincial government. This time, I really let them off!â
Amber thought about it and felt so unwilling. âI now pray that Elliotâs men can find D!â
