Jared smirked. When he was about to retort, he heard something.
He squinted and pulled Amber to turn away, hiding behind the staircase door.
Since Amber was wearing a thin dress, Jared feared she would feel cold if her back clung to the wall.
Hence, right after entering the staircase, he wrapped around her waist and spun. Then his back clung to the wall.
Amber raised her hands to press on his chest, nestling in his arms.
"What..." She widened her eyes and was about to ask him what he was doing.
Jared shushed her and said, "Don't move. Be quiet."
Seeing him so solemn, Amber nodded subconsciously. Although she was confused, she shushed obediently.
When she stopped speaking, she overheard some voices.
She heard a man and a woman flirting with each other.
Through the door's crack, Amber could see a man and a woman walking in their direction while holding each other. While walking, they kepttouching each other. Amber was sickened by this.
"Are you cold?" Jared asked in a low voice.
Amber shook her head, pointing at the door crack.
Although Jared couldn't see what happened out there from his position, and he didn't know what she had seen, he could roughly guess it through her disgusted expression and the voices outside.
"Don't look at those filthy things," said Jared in a low voice.
Amber nodded in agreement.
When Amber was about to withdraw her gaze, the man and the woman got closer to the door. She could see the man's face through the crack clearly.
Seeing it, Amber gaped in surprise. "He is... my friend's fiancé. I've seen his face on their invitation card. But that woman isn't my friend."
Although that woman pressed her face on the man's chest and Amber couldn't see it, she knew it wasn't her friend.
Her friend was a model, almost five feet nine. The woman wasn't that tall.
Hence, Amber realized that her friend's fiancé cheated on her friend on their wedding night.
Jared wasn't surprised when hearing her words.
As soon as he overheard the voices, he could tell who that man was.
After all, he was pretty much acquainted with the bridegroom.
He didn't know who the woman was.
"Do you have the phone with you?" Jared lowered his head to ask Amber.
Amber nodded. "Yeah."
"Record the scene. Send it to your friend later," he reminded her.
He came to the wedding banquet as he wanted to see Amber. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here.
Besides, Jared only knew the bridegroom but didn't get along well with him. Hence, Jared didn't feel guilty at all that his friend's wedding banquet might be ruined.
He only cared if Amber would be happy.
Upon hearing his reminder, Amber understood and nodded. In a hurry, she pulled out the phone. "You are right. I must keep the evidence and show it to my friend. I wonder if she'll collapse after listening to it."
"You can disclose it a bit to test her. If she's strong enough and quite determined, you can tell her about it. If she's too weak to hear it and willing to forgive her fiancé, you can delete the recording," said Jared.
Amber nodded in agreement. "You are right. Okay. I'll do it."
She was willing to record the evidence that her friend's fiancé had cheated on her for their friendship in the past. She didn't want her friend to be bullied by the man.
However, if her friend wouldn't appreciate her kindness, Amber would delete the recording and fake it as if she had seen nothing.
Right then, the man outside pinched somewhere on the woman's body. The woman let out an exclaim coquettishly, "Oh! You bad boy!"
