Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel novel Chapter 99

Hi Ms. Reed, we have arrested Chloe,” said the cop who displayed his ID over the phone.

“Thank you,” Amber said as she hung up the phone.

“Who’s that?” Cole asked as he approached her with a cup of coffee.

Amber sipped her coffee and said, “Police station.”

“They called to inform you of Chloe’s arrest?” Cole asked, smiling brightly.

“Yes.” Amber nodded.

“From what I heard, her father wants her to marry into a wealthy family that can help with the family business, and what happened now might blow everything up and her father might even disown her,” Cole mocked.

“You’re right,” Amber agreed.

Sheila knocked on the door and opened it, saying, “Ms. Reed, there is a lawyer here for you.”

“A lawyer? You called for a lawyer?” Amber asked, raising her brows at Cole..

“Why would I call a lawyer out of the blue?” Cole spread his hands.

“It’s a lawyer for the Farrell Group, Sheila explained.

“The Farrell Group? Perhaps what you said at the conference enraged Jared, and now he’s filing a lawsuit against

you, babe,” Cole squinted.

“We’ll find out. Let him in,” Amber said, her lips pursed together as Sheila nodded.

“Good day, Ms. Reed, Mr. Lyon,” Mr. Carter the lawyer said as he walked into the office.

“Please take a seat,” Amber said, motioning for him to do so.

Mr. Carter thanked her and sat across from her while Cole made him a cup of tea.

He thanked Cole before explaining why he was here, “I believe you know I came on Mr. Farrell’s order, right?”

“Has he filed a suit against me?” As she leaned back in her seat, she inquired.

“No, he asked me to come and present you with a new divorce settlement,” he said with a smile and a shake of

his head.

“A new divorce settlement?” Cole shouted lightly while Amber, too, was taken aback.

“Ms. Reed, please have a look at the new settlement drafted by Mr. Farrell,” he said, reaching for the file in his briefcase. “It is stated here that you will receive five villas, two apartments, five cars, and alimony in the amount of a hundred million,” he said as he handed Amber the file, and as expected, Amber did not accept it.

Then he placed it on the table and pushed it towards her.

Cole grabbed it right away and grinned, “This is it? Jared Farrell, how stingy could he be? Isn’t he supposed to give Amber half of his fortune? What about the Farrell Group’s share? I believe my babe deserves some.”

“You have mistaken Mr. Lyon, Ms. Reed, and Mr. Farrell signed a prenuptial agreement; thus Ms. Reed does not have the right to ask for company share,” Mr. Carter was a little nervous to hear Cole’s statement and quickly explained.
