Chapter 7
Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel
Chapter 7 It Was She Who Betrayed Him Seeing him being secretive, Amber got curious, âTell me first and Iâll decide if I want to go.â
Jeremy sighed helplessly, âAmber, it wouldnât be a surprise if I tell you.â
Seeing the look on his face, Amber couldnât help but laugh.
Jared came out of the doorway just in time to see a man leaning close and whispering to Amberâs ear.
Amber was smiling so happily, and her eyes were shining brightly.
He was about to get into his car, but he stopped and turned to stare coldly at them.
She had never smiled like that since the two of them had been married.
His ears were filled with her endless chatter about trivial matters, and she seemed cautious every time she looked at him.
He didnât really like her that way and found it annoying.
Little did he know that after their divorce, she was a different person, radiant from the inside out.
Was it because of that man?
Jared sneered.
A woman who cheated on her husband wasnât even worth a glance from him!
âMr. Farrell?â Seeing that his boss hadnât gotten into the car, Ben Channing, the assistant, cautiously reminded him.
Jared withdrew his eyes and got into the car, âLetâs go.â
Ben didnât know if it was just an illusion, but he felt that Mr. Farrell was angry and his face looked so scary ...
Amber had just gotten into the passenger seat when she saw Jared leave from the corner of her eyes.
As the car drove on, she looked out at the trees whizzing by in a daze.
Jeremy saw her despondency, and he silently hid away the emotions in his eyes, âAmber, what are you thinking about?â
Amber came back to her senses and smiled, âNothing.â
From the side, Jeremyâs features were more defined. He really had the face for a model.
Jared was the cutest guy at school back in the day, but Jeremy was not inferior to him. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, and was comparable to an international supermodel.
âWhy did you... choose modeling as a career?â Amber had thought that with his good grades, he would be more like getting a PhD, doing researches and so forth.
âI had an audition at first, and I didnât expect that Iâd get into modeling after that.â Looking in the car mirror, he glanced at Amber and asked as if he didnât care about it, âAmber, do you not like the modeling business?â
Amber shook her head, and her eyes softened, âNo. As long as you excel and shine in your field, itâs all the same.â
Jeremy had a smile in his eyes.
Finally, the car stopped. âAmber, weâre here.â
In front of them was a small, retro-style two-story house. At the door, an old man with white hair was sitting on a chair drinking tea.

Amber froze and didnât dare to believe.
The old man sighed, âI know all about you. Iâm sorry to make you go through all this.â
Tears welled up in her eyes and she flung herself into the old manâs arms, âGrandpa, where have you been all these years?â
Six years ago, the funds of Goldstone Co. were stolen and evidence pointed to her father. Not only was he fired from the board of directors, but he would be put in jail.
Her stepmother and her stepsister had fled with the money, and her father jumped off the building in a fit of rage.
The old man spoke, âIâve been looking into the theft of the companyâs funds and found that the Trident Group was involved. Your father was the scapegoat.â
The Trident Group was the largest real estate company in Olkmore City and was chaired by Trenton Gardner, Makennaâs father.
As Amber was musing, her grandpa pulled out a document and put it in her hand, âAmber, this is a fifty-one percent share of Goldstone Co. Donât ask me how I got it. I know you need this.â
Amber pursed her lips and looked solemn, âI will find the person who framed my father and prove his innocence. I will not fail you.â
