"What?" Jared's expression slightly changed, emanating a low pressure.
After a few seconds, he asked, "How's Amber doing now?"
"Ms. Reed has been in her office without going out, so the reporters didn't harm him. I guess she has been impacted mentally, though," said Ben.
Jared narrowed his cold eyes. "Release some celebrity scandals on the internet to distract the public's attention. Besides, find out who's behind the KOL accounts that spited Amber and the individual accounts who had given the foulest insults."
He would get even with them one after another.
"Got it, Mr. Farrell." Ben nodded and went to execute it.
Jared pulled out his phone from the trousers pocket and dialed Amber's number. "Hello, the subscriber you've dialed is busy. Please call later..."
Busy?
Jared frowned.
He wondered who she was talking to now.
Faces of Cole, Jeremy, and other men flashed across his mind. The more he wondered, the more annoyed he became.
He put away his phone and walked to the elevator in the end.
He was worried about Amber, so he decided to check on her personally.
At Goldstone Co.
Amber noticed the missed call from Jared. A trace of surprise flashed through her eyes. Soon, it disappeared.
She could guess why he had called her.
Probably, he had also seen the news online.
"Hello, Amber? Are you still there?" Hayden didn't receive her response, so he called her from the other end of the line.
Amber put the phone back to her ear. "Yes, I'm still listening. Sorry for that. I got a missed call just now."
"Who was it?" Hayden asked curiously.
Amber's eyes twinkled. "No one important. Forget it."
"All right." Hayden shrugged and didn't suspect her words. He said with a solemn look, "Since Elias Lansdale has done that to Makenna, we need to ask him to stand out and prove your innocence. Otherwise, this matter will be too difficult to be resolved."
"I know." Amber nodded. "I called Elias earlier, but he didn't answer the call."
"He should be in the operating theater now. A foreign politician had a brain tumor. He knew Elias could more likely to be successful if he did the operation, so he came from abroad deliberately. The operation is taken today. My father and his coworkers are waiting at the hospital now. This operation will take a long time. It would take about twenty hours," said Hayden.
Amber raised her chin in understanding. "I see."
She was worried that Elias had refused to answer her call deliberately.
Since he hadn't done it purposely, she was relieved.
"So I need to wait for another twenty hours before he can prove my innocence?" Amber frowned.
Things would be out of control in twenty hours.
It wasn't the most important, though. The most important was Bernardo wouldn't give her twenty hours before handing back the management power.
Hayden heaved a sigh. "Right. All you can do is wait. I can help you put a lid on this, for the time being, so you can have a break. Then Goldstone's stock market would be stabilized... What?"
He suddenly saw something and blinked in surprise.
"What happened?" Amber asked in confusion.
