Chapter 98
Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel
Chapter 98 Chloeâs Arrest Chapter 98 Chloeâs Arrest âWhat should I do, Makenna? Amber has threatened to sue me,â Chloe cried.
Amberâs actions surprised Makenna as well. âCalm down, calm down,â she said to Chloe.
âHow should I calm down? If she sues me, Iâll have a criminal record, and everyone will laugh at me,â she said nervously.
1/3 A lady with a criminal record would never be accepted by a wealthy family as a wife. If she failed to marry into a wealthy family and help with her familyâs business, her father would find her useless and bring his illegitimate daughter into the family to replace her.
The more she thought about it, the more feared she became. âYou have to help me, Makenna, I did everything for you,â she said, clutching her phone tightly.
Did she? Makenna bit her bottom lip, irritated. She only hinted Chloe to prank Amber, but she didnât tell her how to do it.
Despite unwilling to, her lips said otherwise, âI know, I will help you,â
âOh yeah, you said to seek help from Mr. Farrell last time; Iâm sure heâll help if you ask, and Amber is no match for him,â Chloe sighed in relief.
âThatâs correct, but Jared rejected me the last time I asked, and if I ask again...â
âPlease ask him again. He loves you, he will listen to you,â Chloe cut her off before she could say no.
Makenna was upset, but she didnât show it, âBut...â
âYou promised to help, Makenna,â Chloe interrupted her once more.
Makenna was on the verge of losing her patient. âAlright, Iâll try again,â she said.
âThank you, Makenna,â Chloe said before hanging up the phone.
Following their conversation, Makenna went to the Farrell Group.
âMr. Farrell, Ms. Gardner has come to see you,â Ben went into Jaredâs office and informed him of Makennaâs presence.
âLet her in,â Jared said, looking up from his work.
âYes,â Ben said, inviting Makenna into Jaredâs office.
âDid you smoke, Jared?â Makenna asked, frowning when she smelled cigarette smoke the moment she stepped inside.
âYes, one bud,â he said, nodding.
âWhy did you smoke? I hate the smell of cigarettes,â she said, fanning the air in front of her.
âReally? I had no idea you dislike the smell of cigarettes. Tonce asked in the letter whether you mind me smoking, and you said no You even suggested a mint flavor cigarette to me, which was the one I smoked just now,â Jared said, looking at her skeptically.
Makennaâs heart throbbed and she hid it with a smile, âI didnât mind, but after six years in a coma, I canât stand the smell of cigarettes anymore.â
Jared accepted her explanation without suspicion.
Makenna sighed inwardly, relieved that Jared believed what she said. She now wished she hadnât burned all the letters before reading them. But there was nothing she could do now.
âTry to quit smoking. Itâs bad for your health,â she said quickly, changing the subject.
âAll right,â Jared said, nodding.
âYou are the best, Jared,â Makenna said, clutching his arm.
Best? Jared looked down as he remembered Amberâs words from the conference.
He had been mistreating her for six years because of his skepticism. Was he the best?
He was slightly irritated by this and pulled his arm free from Makennaâs grasp. âMakenna, why did you tell Amber I was just your friend six years ago?â He asked coldly.
He would not have treated Amber the way he did if she had told the truth.
Like what Amber said, she wouldnât have asked to marry him if she knew he was Makennaâs boyfriend.
However, Jared became slightly depressed when he thought about the possibility that Amber did not want to marry him.
âIâm sorry Jared, I was young and mom and dad forbade me from involving in a romantic relationship while at school, so I lied to everyone,â Makenna said as Jared questioned her.
âGo ahead and scold me,â she said, looking down, pulling his sleeves.
âLetâs forget about the past, Jared said, his heart softening as he saw her pitiful face.
âYou are not upset are you, Jared?â Makenna raised her head, her eyes twinkling as she looked at him.
âHmm,â Jared nodded, his lips pressed together.
Makenna hugged him and sunk into vile thought behind Jared.
Her parents were not the reason she lied; rather, they were overjoyed and hoped Jared and her would tie the knot soon. She lied to Amber solely to embarrass her.
Her evil plan at the time was to reveal that Jared was her boyfriend when Amber confessed her love to him and thus shamed her, but an accident occurred before her little plan could be carried out.
Makenna hated the driver who had hit her; Jared and she were already married, and Amber would have been forever if it hadnât been for that accident.
âWhat brings you here, Makenna?â Jared inquired as he gently pushed her away.
gone âAmber wants to sue Chloe, do you think you could help?â Makenna was pulled back from her thoughts. She bit her lip and asked.
Jaredâs face darkened as he realized why she was here. âI told you I wasnât going to help, even though she- claimed she did everything for you, but what she did is wrong, and she deserves to be punished.â
âI know, Iâm just sad knowing what sheâs going through,â she sighed.
âDonât worry, she didnât commit any serious crime; she might be detained for a few days, thatâs all,â Jared said as he brushed Makennaâs hair.
Makenna nodded, âYes, I hope she learned her lesson and will no longer act recklessly.â
Jared was determined not to help this time and she couldnât stop Amber on her own.
It appeared that Chloe would be detained; all she could do now was wait until she served her sentence and then coaxed her when she was out of the prison.
âIâll go to the restroom,â she said.
âAll right.â
Makenna called Chloe while in the bathroom; the call was answered immediately because Chloe had been waiting for her news.
âHow are things going? Did Mr. Farrell agree to help?â Chloe inquired, hopeful.
âNo, Iâm sorry Chloe, I tried my hardest,â Makenna said, shaking her head.
âWhat...â The news shocked Chloe to the core, and she nearly collapsed.
If Jared refused to help her, who else could?
Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel âChloe...â Makennaâs conversation was cut short when someone knocked on Chloeâs door.
âWho is at the door?â Exclaimed Chloe, lowering her phone.
âMaintenance,â someone replied from behind the closed door.
Makenna went to open the door without suspicion and was met by two cops.
Shit! She knew they were coming to arrest her, so she slammed the door shut in terror.
However, the cops were quick to respond and blocked the door while one of them displayed his ID. âHello, Ms.
Mendez. A Ms. Reed accuses you of slandering: please follow us to the station.â
âNo! Iâm not going with you!â Chloe screamed as she stumbled backward.
âIf you refuse to go with us, we will charge you with resisting arrest, which is a separate charge from defamation,â the cop stated sternly.
Chloe was terrified and brought back the phone to her ear, âMakenna, the police are here to arrest me, help me, save me!â
Makenna did not respond, and when Chloe looked at the phone, she realized Makenna had already hung up. She couldnât believe what was happening and fell sitting on the ground.
The cops exchanged a look before they took her away.
