Amber paused her pace. "Yes, Mr. Gardner?"
Jeremy also looked back at Trenton.
Trenton walked to them and gazed at Amber in hatred. "Did you send someone to bully Makenna?"
In the beginning, he had thought Makenna was bullied by accident.
Later, when he calmed down and thought about it, he smelt something fishy.
If Makenna had been bullied by accident, those criminals wouldn't have dumped her downtown because they would be afraid of being caught.
However, those criminals had dumped her downtown to let her exposed in public purposely. The purpose was to ruin Makenna. Trenton believed that there was a manipulator behind.
The most possible suspect was Amber.
Only Amber had a deep grudge with Makenna.
Upon hearing Trenton's question, Amber was amused in anger. "What's wrong? You can't find the suspect, so you want to push the blames on me, huh?"
Jeremy didn't speak, lowering his head.
Trenton snorted. "I'm not pushing the blames on you. My hunch told me this matter must have something to do with you."
Amber's eyes twinkled a bit.
He was right. It had something to do with Amber.
Elias took action, and he did it for her. Hence, it had something to do with her indeed.
But, so what? Amber wouldn't admit it.
Thinking of that, she smiled. "You want to convict me because of your hunch. No wonder the Trident Group is declining now. I heard Mr. Farrell had terminated his cooperation with your company. Congratulations, Mr. Gardner!"
Trenton couldn't utter a beep in anger for a long while. With a sneer, he said, "What a sharp-tongue!"
He knew Amber mocked him for managing the Trident Group by his hunch without any competence.
She also mocked him for offending Jared because of his video as he had thought Jared wouldn't terminate their cooperation, but Jared slapped him in the face.
Trenton realized what a tough nut to crack Amber was.
He looked at Amber in hatred.
Amber didn't fear at all. Instead, she looked into his eyes with a smile. "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Gardner. It's good to be sharp-tongued. At least, when I meet someone I don't like, I can render him speechless. What do you think, Mr. Gardner?"
Trenton's lips twitched. He knew Amber was still mocking him.
However, he couldn't lose his temper at all.
Trenton took several deep breaths to suppress his anger. He forced a wry smile, "I agree."
"Pfff!" Jeremy burst into laughter.
Trenton stared daggers at him instantly.
Jeremy noticed it. He slowly put away his smile and gazed at Trenton.
Looking at Jeremy's ink-black and cold eyes, Trenton felt like he was looking at a wolf. Trenton's heart sank, and he felt a chill rise from his spine.
What happened?
He wondered why this model had such a horrible gaze.
Jeremy's gaze looked familiar to him. Trenton wondered where he had seen it before.
He frowned but couldn't ring the bell.
Amber checked the time. "All right, Jeremy. Let's go."
Jeremy smiled again and hummed gently.
They walked forward.
Finally, Trenton returned to his senses. He looked at the receding figures of the two and yelled, "Amber Reed, you'd better pray to Heaven not let me find out Makenna's incident has something to do with you. Otherwise, I'll risk whatever I have to haunt you down."
