Chapter 98 Chloe’s Arrest

Chapter 98 Chloe’s Arrest

“What should I do, Makenna? Amber has threatened to sue me,” Chloe cried.

Amber’s actions surprised Makenna as well. “Calm down, calm down,” she said to Chloe.

“How should I calm down? If she sues me, I’ll have a criminal record, and everyone will laugh at me,” she said

nervously.

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 family’s 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. “You have to help me, Makenna, I did everything for

you,” she said, clutching her phone tightly.

Did she? Makenna bit her bottom lip, irritated. She only hinted Chloe to prank Amber, but she didn’t tell her how to

do it.

Despite unwilling to, her lips said otherwise, “I know, I will help you,”

“Oh yeah, you said to seek help from Mr. Farrell last time; I’m sure he’ll help if you ask, and Amber is no match for

him,” Chloe sighed in relief.

“That’s correct, but Jared rejected me the last time I asked, and if I ask again…”

“Please ask him again. He loves you, he will listen to you,” Chloe cut her off before she could say no.

Makenna was upset, but she didn’t show it, “But…”

“You promised to help, Makenna,” Chloe interrupted her once more.

Makenna was on the verge of losing her patient. “Alright, I’ll try again,” she said.

“Thank you, Makenna,” Chloe said before hanging up the phone.

Following their conversation, Makenna went to the Farrell Group.

“Mr. Farrell, Ms. Gardner has come to see you,” Ben went into Jared’s office and informed him of Makenna’s

presence.

“Let her in,” Jared said, looking up from his work.

“Yes,” Ben said, inviting Makenna into Jared’s office.

“Did you smoke, Jared?” Makenna asked, frowning when she smelled cigarette smoke the moment she stepped inside.

“Yes, one bud,” he said, nodding.

“Why did you smoke? I hate the smell of cigarettes,” she said, fanning the air in front of her.

“Really? 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,” Jared

said, looking at her skeptically.

Makenna’s heart throbbed and she hid it with a smile, “I didn’t mind, but after six years in a coma, I can’t stand the

smell of cigarettes anymore.”

Jared accepted her explanation without suspicion.

Makenna sighed inwardly, relieved that Jared believed what she said. She now wished she hadn’t burned all the

letters before reading them. But there was nothing she could do now.

“Try to quit smoking. It’s bad for your health,” she said quickly, changing the subject.

“All right,” Jared said, nodding.

“You are the best, Jared,” Makenna said, clutching his arm.

Best? Jared looked down as he remembered Amber’s 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 Makenna’s grasp. “Makenna, why did you tell Amber I

was just your friend six years ago?” He asked coldly.

He would not have treated Amber the way he did if she had told the truth.

You are not upset are you, Jared?” Makenna raised her head, her eyes twinkling as she looked at him.

“All right.”

Makenna called Chloe while in the bathroom; the call was answered immediately because Chloe had been

waiting for her news.

“How are things going? Did Mr. Farrell agree to help?” Chloe inquired, hopeful.

“No, I’m sorry Chloe, I tried my hardest,” Makenna said, shaking her head.

“What…” The news shocked Chloe to the core, and she nearly collapsed.

If Jared refused to help her, who else could?

“Chloe…” Makenna’s conversation was cut short when someone knocked on Chloe’s door.

“Who is at the door?” Exclaimed Chloe, lowering her phone.

“Maintenance,” 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. “Hello, Ms.

Mendez. A Ms. Reed accuses you of slandering: please follow us to the station.”

“No! I’m not going with you!” Chloe screamed as she stumbled backward.

“If you refuse to go with us, we will charge you with resisting arrest, which is a separate charge from defamation,” the cop stated sternly.

Chloe was terrified and brought back the phone to her ear, “Makenna, the police are here to arrest me, help me, save me!”

Makenna did not respond, and when Chloe looked at the phone, she realized Makenna had already hung up. She couldn’t believe what was happening and fell sitting on the ground.

The cops exchanged a look before they took her away.
