Amber was reading a data table. Upon hearing her phone vibrate, she picked it up and saw the message. Instantly, she sent him a voice message. "What do you plan to do now?"
Elias hailed a tab and sat in. He entered: "I'm fine. I didn't admit it. However, the police should know I was the accomplice, but they couldn't show any evidence. Nor could Makenna Gardner. They have no right to arrest me unless they can find the six men."
Amber breathed a sigh of relief. Then she asked, "Where are the six men now? Will they be caught?"
Elias typed: "No, they won't. I've changed their names and sent them abroad. They'll never return all their lives."
Hence, the police could never find them.
Since the six men couldn't turn him in, Makenna had to bear the responsibility for her crime line.
Amber nodded and said, "That's better."
After exchanging a few words, they finished chatting.
Meanwhile, Sheila knocked on the door and entered. "Excuse me, Ms. Reed. Mrs. Gardner and Ms. Makayla Gardner from The Trident Group came here. They wanted to see you."
Makayla had been a hot topic in Olkmore City.
A few days ago, she suddenly appeared. Later, the Gardner family announced her identity to the public. Only then did the public know Makenna wasn't the only daughter of the Gardner couple. They had an older daughter that had been kidnapped when she was little.
However, the topic of conversations had recently become the younger daughter of the Gardner family.
"Mrs. Gardner?" Amber narrowed her eyes. "Why are they here?"
Sheila shook her head. "I don't know, Ms. Reed. I guess it must have something to do with Makenna Gardner."
"Really? No need to receive them." Amber waved her hand.
Sheila looked at her. "Ms. Reed, don't you want to meet them?"
"No, I don't," Amber confirmed.
Sheila pushed up her glasses. "I see. I'll ask the guards to send them away."
After that, she turned around to walk to the door.
However, as soon as she reached the door before opening it, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Mrs. Gardener came in with Makayla, followed by a receptionist.
The receptionist saw Sheila and smiled bitterly. "I'm sorry, Ms. Dawson. I didn't mean to let them come upstairs. They insisted and threatened to die here if I asked the security to send them away. So..."
Sheila looked at Mrs. Gardner and her daughter, feeling an intense migraine. Rubbing her temples, she turned to look over at Amber. "Ms. Reed, what..."
Amber heard what the receptionist said. She glanced at Mrs. Gardner coldly, pressed her lips, and said, "I'll deal with them.
Please go back to work. Tell Riley too."
"Yes, Ms. Reed," Sheila answered.
Riley, the receptionist, breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Ms. Reed didn't blame her for failing to stop the two women.
She followed Sheila out of the office, leaving Amber, Mrs. Gardner, and Makayla there.
Amber leaned against the back of the chair, raised her head, and calmly looked at Mrs. Gardner and Makayla walking to her.
Although she was young, she worked as a senior executive in the company for several months. Hence, she emanated a superior aura.
When she looked at Mrs. Gardner, the latter felt stressed.
After all, Mrs. Gardner was only a housewife of a wealthy family, so she lacked temperament.
