Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 108

Logan's nose had almost been hit. Fortunately, he paused on time.

He heaved a sigh and turned away in disappointment.

...

The following day, when Amber and Cole were reading some documents in the office, Sheila rushed in. "Ms. Reed, bad news! Trenton Gardner has been set free."

"What?" Amber's expression changed dramatically. "Has he?"

"When did it happen?" Cole asked.

Sheila glanced at him quickly and answered respectfully, "This morning. He also posted an announcement on the official website of the Trident Group, declaring that he hadn't broken the law, although he was taken away by the police. Instead, he cooperated with them for some investigations. Now, the stock price of the Trident Group has been stable."

"How could it be possible?" Cole frowned deeply.

Amber bit her bottom lip. "Something must have happened. Or, Trenton Gardner wouldn't have been set free."

"I'll ask them to look into the matter," Cole said and walked to the balcony while holding his cell phone.

Amber looked down, feeling irritated.

She had thought Trenton must go to jail for sure. Then she could bring down the Trident Group quickly.

After all, the Trident Group would be like a toothless tiger without that cunning man. Its power would decrease. However, she didn't expect Trenton to be set free so soon. Her plan couldn't carry out anymore.

Thinking of that, Amber rubbed her temples reluctantly.

Right then, there were a few knocks on the office door.

Amber put down her hands and said, "Come in."

The person entered. It was the secretary of Bernardo Delgado, the president of Goldstone.

She wondered why his secretary had come here.

"What can I do for you?" Amber looked at him and asked flatly.

The secretary smiled at Amber and answered, "Ms. Reed, Mr. Delgado asked you to attend the meeting in the meeting room."

While Amber heard his words, her eye pupils shrank.

Bernardo had returned.

She wondered when it happened.

Amber looked over at Sheila aside.

The latter was also surprised while shaking her head. She meant she also didn't know and never heard that Bernardo had come back.

Amber pressed her lips, feeling down. However, she managed a smile and said, "I see. Please tell Mr. Delgado I'll be right there."

"Okay, Ms. Reed," the secretary answered and left.

Cole came in, feeling the atmosphere in the company was weird. He also noticed Amber looked annoyed. He asked, "Sheila, what happened to my babe?"

Although she had used to hearing Cole call Amber "babe", Sheila still felt upset.

She looked down to cover her sadness and tried to answer as calmly as possible. "Mr. Delgado has returned."

"What? When did he return? Why haven't we heard about it?" Cole squinted.

Amber pressed her lips. "It seemed he hid it deliberately from us, afraid we would stop him."

The person in Goldstone who disliked Amber the most was Bernardo Delgado. He was one of the men working for Amber's father. After Amber's father died, the company had fallen into Bernardo's hands.

Last month, if Bernardo hadn't gone on a business trip, even she was the biggest shareholder of Goldstone, she wouldn't get the management power of the company. Maybe Bernardo had thought Amber would stop him from returning because of the management power, so he hid his whereabouts and returned in secret.

"He's having victim paranoia, isn't he?" Cole rolled his eyes.

Amber exhaled and stood up. "All right. Let's go to the meeting room."

Cole didn't speak. He nodded in agreement, following her to the meeting room.

While they almost arrived at the meeting room, Jared called Amber on the phone.

Amber was surprised. Then she hung it up, having no intention to answer.
