Amber squinted as she observed Braylee's reaction. "You must be wondering how did I know about this, right?"
Braylee swallowed and remained silent.
Amber scoffed. "What is done by night appears by day. People talk, you know. I even know it was Trenton Gardner who gave you the drug."
Panic spread across Braylee's face.
Amber's heart sank.
It was really Trenton Gardner.
Although she had long suspected that it was Trenton, she didn't have enough evidence that directly led to him.
Her remark earlier was just tentative. But when she saw Braylee's reaction, she was pretty much sure her assumption was right.
"Wow. Braylee Reed. You are really something. You colluded with Trenton Gardner to kill your own father despite the clear knowledge of the feud between the Gardner family and the Reed family. Your own father! Do you even have a heart? You piece of crap!" Amber let go of Braylee's chin, then cleaned her hand with Jared's handkerchief with a disgusted look on her face.
Sheila was astonished after hearing Amber's words. She looked at Braylee, incredulous.
She already found Braylee repulsive when Cole told her that Braylee plundered a burning house by sweeping away all the money when the company was in a plight and indirectly made her own father kill himself.
What she heard from Amber made her despise Braylee even more.
The former CEO's death was not a circumstantial effect, but a direct result of Braylee's drug!
One was to kill her father by mistake, the other was murdering her father deliberately.
Although the former was also spiteful, it was not as heinous as the latter, not even in the slightest bit.
Hearing Amber's words, Braylee had no remorse at all. Instead, a grim smile appeared on her face. "I'm a piece of crap? I drugged dad and killed him? Do you have evidence? That's slander."
That was right. Without evidence, Amber could do nothing to her.
It was just Amber's words against Braylee's.
Calmly, Amber looked at Braylee's cocky smile.
She knew a waggish snake like Braylee wouldn't just admit what she did. Otherwise, Amber would have recorded this conversation and use it against Braylee.
"I don't have it now. But it doesn't mean I won't get it later. There is no seamless crime in this world. When I find it, I'll make you pay. You, and the Gardner family." Amber put the handkerchief back in her purse, her voice was cold as usual.
Amber wanted to kill Braylee Reed and Trenton Gardner herself. This way of revenge would be quick and simple. However, if she did that, the Reed family and Goldstone would be shamed.
Father wouldn't have the heart to see her in jail and she didn't want to disgrace the Reed family and Goldstone. In order to do that, she had to resort to law.
"Well, let's see if you can find something." Braylee scorned.
Amber's voice was calm. "Yeah, let's see. But before that, I think you still owe dad some respect. You two, continue. Don't stop until she passes out!"
"Yes, Miss Reed," the two guards answered.
Hearing that, Braylee's face was drained of color, clearly didn't think that Amber would do something like this to her.
"Amber Reed! Are you out of your mind!" Braylee hollered.
Amber turned around and walked towards Jared without looking back.
She only took a few steps before hearing the loud banging sound.
The guards were definitely using force.
