“Seriously, am I the one talking nonsense?” On the other end of the phone, Cole Lyon sneered, “You know deep down in your heart if I am talking nonsense, Jared Farrell. Now you tell me, what’s with that woman named Alice?”
“Alice?” Jared Farrell frowned. “What about her?”
“She apologized to Amber on the live broadcast today. I went to find out it was all because of you - you bastard! How could you do that to Amber? Did you cheat on her?” Cole hit on the table and said madly.
Jared’s face grew gloomy. “Are you out of your mind? I have nothing to do with Alice. Neither have I gotten any control over how she feels about me, OK?”
Jared was aware of Alice’s feelings toward him.
However, he didn’t take the initiative to seduce her.
So Cole Lyon was simply slandering!
“Right, you’ve got no control over her feelings, but that woman hurt Amber, and you just let it happen. It’s all your fault! You didn’t treat her well, and you didn’t protect her from getting hurt in that messy situation either. Jared Farrell, I am telling you - if you can’t treat Amber the way she deserve, it's better you let her go. Don’t freaking hurt her over and over again.” Cole said with a cold expression.
Jared’s think lips pursed like a straight line, “Whatever that’s been going on between Amber and I is nothing of your business. It’s not your place either to tell me what I should or should not do. And I never did anything that hurt or will hurt Amber Reed. I didn’t cause her any mess with other women. Why do you think Alice would apologize to Amber online publicly? If I ever had anything to do with that woman, do you seriously think I would just do this to her?”
Hearing Jared’s backlash, Cole choked, speechless.
Because he knew - there had been nothing going on since the beginning between Jared and Alice.
It was just that when he found that Alice had threatened and provoked Amber after she fell in love with Jared, he was angry - but that was all. If it weren’t for Jared Farrell, Amber would never have to get into such trouble.
That was why Cole couldn’t help but call and question Jared himself.
Thinking so, Cole Lyon snorted coldly, “Fine, you don’t have feelings for that woman, but you can’t deny that fact that Alice’s got feelings for you, can you?”
“I never denied it,” Jared said lightly, with his thin lips open.
Cole narrowed his eyes, “Since you don’t deny it, which is fine, tell you what, Jared, you better watch out. You are now with Amber, don’t mess around and hurt her. Or I will make sure you’d pay for it.”
Cole had guarded Amber and treated her as the apple of his eyes for over 20 years. He would never let the same person hurt her, let alone hurt her twice.
Jared’s face was expressionless, and his voice was cold, “You should be glad that you’ve come here for Little Maple to tell me all those harsh words, or I would never cut you loose.”
Saying so, he hung up the phone directly, ignoring the mad Cole.
Cole looked at the phone - it was already back to the main screen. He snorted, and his anger subsided away.
The purpose of his call was not only to scold Jared, but also to figure out Jared’s attitude towards those lady troubles outside.
Now that he found out Jared was not happy about these ladies, his anger toned down immediately.
But it didn’t mean he wasn’t upset at all. Cole was trying to find a balance here with Jared.
Soon Cole called Amber Reed.
Amber was having a discussion with Cole’s Secretary, Sheila Dawson, at the moment. But when the phone rang, she took it out and took a look.
Seeing it was a call from Cole, she was overjoyed at first, but then a random thought stopped her. She looked at Sheila who was across her, “It’s Mr. Lyon.”
Hearing this name, Sheila’s eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses lit up for a moment, but soon the light in her eyes faded away, returning to the previous look. She lowered her eyes and replied in a low voice, “Ms. Amber, Mr. Lyon must be calling for some urgent matter. You should pick up now. I have nothing to do with Mr. Lyon, so don’t mind me please.”
