Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 59

Celia took the slap without dodging or dodging. Several clear handprints immediately appeared on her white and tender face.

Coincidentally, a woman came to the bathroom and saw clearly the scene of Amber hitting Celia. Who was Celia? She was the daughter of the secretary, Rodney’s girlfriend, and Amber was just an unknown nobody. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Wasn’t an unknown nobody hitting the secretary’s daughter? The madam immediately screamed. Seeing someone appear, Celia began to cover her face and cry.

Someone immediately spread this scene to the hall. Rodney heard the noise in the garden. He threw down the cigarette butt and turned around. He saw a group of people surrounding him in the corridor. At a glance, he saw Amber, who was surrounded in the middle.

His heart tightened and he strode over. When he saw Rodney, Celia seemed to have seen her savior. She threw herself into his arms pitifully and cried even more bitterly.

Rodney held her upright and threw himself into his arms. “What happened?”

Celia just cried and did not answer. The woman who witnessed Amber beating Celia said, “I don’t know what happened either. When I came to the bathroom, I heard this lady scolding Ms. Black and beating her.”

“This is too much. How can you do this?” Those who knew Celia immediately began to support her.

“Yeah, how can you be so ill-bred? What kind of occasion is this? How can you hit people at will?”

Amber sneered when he saw this scene. It turned out that Celia was waiting for her here. She deliberately irritated her and asked her to hit her, so that everyone would know that she was an ill-bred person and let everyone attack her together. It had to be said that Celia’s plan was good.

Naturally, there was no shortage of people who were rarely seen in this world. Immediately, someone stood up for Celia. “Miss, you must apologize to Ms. Black!”

“Apologize?” Amber sneered. “Why don’t you ask me why I hit her?”

“No matter what, it’s wrong to hit someone.”

“I don’t think it’s your turn to talk here, is it?” Amber’s words pushed back the injustice. Her arrogance made everyone more dissatisfied. “How can you do this? Apologize! Apologize quickly!”

Amber turned a blind eye to everyone’s contempt. He only looked at Rodney and Celia. “Ms. Black, are you sure you want me to apologize?”

Celia just cried and did not speak. She and Shannon knew Amber very well and knew that she had great self-esteem. She would rather endure all the humiliation and pain than show her pain in front of others.

That was why Amber left his house without asking for any reason when he found out that she was pregnant with Rodney’s child. She suppressed the news that he had cheated on her and suppressed her pain. Shannon said that Amber was like her mother, who wanted to save face and suffer.

No matter what, she would never reveal the truth of what had happened back then. That was why she had deliberately provoked Amber when she had decided to eat him alive.

Celia had two purposes. First, she deliberately threw herself into Rodney’s arms to provoke Amber. Second, she wanted everyone to attack Amber together, so that Elliot would have a bad influence on Amber.

At present, it had already been achieved to provoke Amber and make everyone attack Amber. Now it was time to see what Elliot meant. Celia cried while looking for Elliot in the crowd. It was strange.

Where had this guy gone?

Rodney’s eyes darkened. He had always known that Amber had a strong character, but although she was strong, she was not a unreasonable person. She must have her reason to hit Celia. “I want to know the reason.”

If it were in the past, Amber would be so angry that he would faint. He would definitely scold Celia. In this way, people who did not know the truth would attack her together. But now she was no longer the former Amber. She was not a fool and naturally saw through Celia’s meaning.

Since she knew what White Lotus meant, how could she let her succeed? She did not scold Celia, so she naturally did not choose to respond in silence. Instead, she looked at Rodney with a smile and said, “Mr. Barron, are you sure you want to hear the reason?”

Rodney nodded. “Yes, I want to know the reason.”

“I also want to hear the reason.” Elliot suddenly appeared and stood beside Amber. He reached out and held Amber’s hand. “I’m here. Don’t worry!”

Elliot held onto Amber’s shoulder as if he was an old chicken protecting a young man.

“Then I’ll do as you say. I’ll tell you why I beat Ms. Black and let you judge her.”

Celia didn’t expect that Elliot would choose to protect Amber in public, and she didn’t expect that Amber would be ready to talk about the dispute with her. She was originally crying in Rodney’s arms, but after hearing Amber’s words, her body stiffened. Would Amber tell her that she was pregnant?

If everyone knew that Amber was once Mrs. Barron and that she was the daughter of the secretary, they would lose face. Even if she married him, she would never be able to stay in the upper class.

Amber cleared his throat. “The cause of the incident was caused by the discussion between me and Ms. Black. We were discussing the most popular topic of the mistress…”

“Rodney, I’m a little dizzy.” Celia didn’t expect that Amber had changed a lot. She immediately pretended to faint when she saw Amber say the word “mistress”.

Rodney didn’t expect that Amber would talk about this topic. The truth of what happened that year was not what Amber thought. Celia was not a mistress. If Amber told others about Celia’s replace pregnancy, Celia would not be able to meet anyone in the future.

He immediately supported Celia. “I’ll take you to the hospital!”

Rodney helped Celia to leave. There was no protagonist at the scene, and those who were watching the show were no longer in the mood. Everyone dispersed.

Elliot held Amber’s waist and left. In the car outside, he laughed and said, “Amber, do you have any violent tendency?”

“What do you mean, President Mr. Thomson?”

“Not only did you hit me, but you also hit your sister. By the way, your sister is really good at pretending. She was aggressive at the beginning. When she saw that you were about to say that her mother was a mistress, she fainted immediately. Rodney cooperated perfectly. They are really a pair of best.” Elliot sighed and suddenly remembered something. “Does Rodney know that Celia is little Sansheng?”

“I don’t know!”

“As I said, with Rachel’s character, if she knew that Celia was mistress’s daughter, she would not let her son be with her even if she was beaten to death.”

“Why do you say that?” Amber was curious. Rachel thought highly of Celia.

“Because Rachel was deeply influenced by her mistress,” Elliot replied.

“Rodney’s father cheated?”

“No, it’s Rachel’s father who cheated. She has suffered a lot. Fortunately, Rodney’s father loves her very much. However, good times don’t last long. Rodney’s father died young. Rachel put all her attention on her son. My son is her everything. You can imagine how much such a mother loves you. Anyway, Celia will suffer from it after she marries Rodney.”

Amber didn’t say anything. She had already learned how powerful Rachel was. Suddenly, she looked forward to seeing how Rachel would react when she married her favorite daughter-in-law and knew that she was a mistress. Would it be exciting?

Rodney helped Celia get in the car. Celia said with tears in her eyes, “Rodney, I’m fine. I just pretended to faint. I don’t want to lose face on such an occasion.”

Rodney naturally knew that she was pretending to faint. Pretending to faint on such an occasion was her only choice. Otherwise, Amber would have told her everything that had happened back then.

“I just wanted to apologize to her and explain the truth of that year, but she didn’t listen to my explanation. She scolded me as a mistress and beat me excitedly. Rodney, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect to make trouble for you.” Celia sobbed in a low voice.

“I know.” Thinking of the misunderstanding Celia had suffered for him, Rodney felt guilty. “Celia, I’m sorry!”

Celia’s heart was originally filled with anxiety, but she was afraid that Rodney wouldn’t believe her. When she heard his apology, she let out a sigh of relief. In the future, she definitely couldn’t provoke

Amber again.

After sending Celia home, Rodney turned the car around and left. He watched her leave and enter the house. Shannon was waiting for her in the living room. She was shocked to see the clear fingerprints on her face.

“What’s going on?”

Channing had just come out of the study and naturally saw the fingerprints and tears on Celia’s face. He was also very surprised. “What happened?”

“My sister hit me!” Celia burst into tears and said that Amber beat her up. She not only said that Amber scolded her as a mistress, but also that Amber scolded Shannon as a mistress. Anyway, it was Amber’s fault.

Shannon understood what she meant. She reached out to wipe Celia’s tears, and also cried. “It’s all my fault. It’s my fault. My poor child! I let you suffer!”

Channing had just sighed. He knew that Amber had a bad temper. Looking at Celia and her daughter crying like a tearful person, he sighed. “How could Amber do this? No matter what, Celia is her younger sister. It’s too absurd!”

It was the first time that Shannon had heard from Channing that Amber was not doing well. She was overjoyed. She had to cheer up and make Amber jealous so that she would lose Channing’s favor. So she wiped her tears and continued to cry.

“I was wrong that year. I shouldn’t have come to you. If I hadn’t looked for you, I wouldn’t have been in such a situation. Amber wouldn’t have left you. My Celia… My Celia wouldn’t have been humiliated like this!”

Shannon cried and said, “This is my retribution. It’s just that if God wants it, why should I blame it all on my daughter? Mr. Black, Celia is not a mistress. You know what happened that year. We’d better be carefree!”

Channing sighed. “I know. I’ve wronged you. I’ll talk to Amber about this. Celia and Rodney didn’t cheat. Tell her not to hate Celia anymore!”

As soon as Channing said this, both the mother and daughter stopped crying. If Channing told the truth to Amber, how could he continue the show?

Back then, Amber had thought that Rodney had cheated on her and divorced her. If she had known that Celia had nothing to do with him, she would have definitely forgiven him. In that case, wouldn’t the mother and daughter plan have been ruined?

“Mr. Black, don’t look for Amber. She won’t believe you even if you find her.” Shannon quickly stopped her.

“Why?”

“I asked Celia to get pregnant in order to prevent the marriage between Amber and Rodney from being disturbed by Rachel. But the result is not what we thought. Rachel forced Rodney and Amber to divorce with her life. Amber hates Celia so much for this. Now Rodney and Celia are about to get engaged. You can explain the truth at this time and Amber will not believe it. She will think that this is a lie you deliberately made up for us. She will hate you more. I don’t want you and Amber to return to the same situation as before.”

“Yes, Dad, Mom is right. My hatred for us has been deeply rooted. If you go to explain it to me at this time, she will not believe you.” Celia immediately echoed.

“But have you always been misunderstood?”

“Anyway, Celia has been misunderstood for a while. We have to think for Amber. She has changed her attitude toward you now. You must not defend us at this time. This will only push her further.” Shannon persuaded.

Channing sighed and was in a dilemma. It was true that Shannon was right that he would tell Amber the truth at that time. She would not believe it at all. She would definitely think that he had forgiven Shannon and her daughter. She hated that he had taken Shannon and her daughter into the family. If she misunderstood it again because of this matter, she would never be able to solve it.

Seeing that Channing did not insist, the mother and daughter were relieved. Shannon helped Celia into the bedroom. Shannon closed the door and said with a vicious face, “Don’t provoke that bitch in the future. At least don’t provoke her before you marry Rodney.”

Celia nodded. Thinking of the kiss between Rodney and Amber tonight, she felt sad. “Mom, Rodney has always loved her. I’m worried that the engagement will change.

“At this time, you have to keep calm. I have endured it for so many years for your father. Can’t you wait for these days?” Shannon scolded.

“Remember, don’t provoke that b*tch now. Just focus on Rachel. As long as you coax her well, she will put pressure on you and you won’t be able to escape.”

Rodney turned the car around and went to Amber’s place. Soon, he came to the familiar downstairs. He looked up at the familiar window and found that it was dark inside. He was stunned. “Hasn’t Amber come back yet?”

What about Ashton?
