Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 82

Makenna lowered her eyelids and tried to cover the bleak look in her eyes. She answered anxiously, "That wasn't my plan. Ms. Garland, you misunderstood. I…"

"Shut up!" Gigi scoffed and interrupted her, "I'll remember what you did, Makenna. We're not friends anymore from now on. I won't let you go and you'll pay for this!"

Gigi then broke her phone and the call got hung up.

Makenna stared at her phone and pursed her pale lips.

She had already seen the news about Garland family this morning and was ready for Gigi to blame this on her.

But she didn't think that Gigi would hate her this much and insisted that she would take revenge.

She clenched her fist and started to feel worried.

Even though the Garland family had lost some power, they were still part of the officialdom. If they wanted to take down the Gardner family, they probably could still manage it. Hence, Makenna thought that she needed to do something.

She thought about it and bit her lips. She then pinched her arms harshly and tears started to flow. She grabbed her bag and walked out of the room. She told her driver to drive her to the Farrell Group.

The people in the Farrell Group recognized her and didn't stop her from going in.

Soon, Makenna arrived on the top floor. She pushed the door and entered Jared's office.

"Jared…" Makenna walked into the room with tears in her eyes. She sobbed and called out his name.

Jared and Hayden were discussing some business matters. They were at an important part when Makenna suddenly walked in. They stopped their conversation.

"Hey, Ms. Gardner, why are you here?" Hayden touched his chin and jeered at Makenna.

Makenna ignored him and looked at Jared with watery eyes.

Jared put down the documents in his hands and stood up. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong, Makenna?"

Makenna pursed her lips, ran towards him and ran into his arms.

Jared's arms were in the air for a bit before he finally put it down. He hugged her by the shoulder and patted her back softly.

"Give us a moment," he said to Hayden.

Hayden shrugged and glanced at Makenna discerningly. He then turned around and left.

Makenna and Jared were left alone in the office.

Makenna took a step backwards, looked up and said while looking wronged, "Jared, Ms. Garland's family got into trouble and she's blaming me for it. She said that she wouldn't let me off the hook, but… But I wasn't the one who told her to mess with Ms. Reed. I don't understand why she's blaming me for this."

"Mess with Amber?" Jared squinted his eyes, "What's going on?"

Makenna was a bit pissed.

She said so much.

But the first thing he asked about was Amber!

Even though that was what she was thinking about, she didn't dare to express her thoughts. She sobbed, "Yesterday, Ms. Garland came to the hospital to visit me. She asked me why I'm hospitalized, so I told her that I was kidnapped by someone who had a crush on Ms. Reed. She then said that she would help me take revenge on Ms. Reed. I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen. And now she is blaming me, saying that what happened to her and her family is all my fault…"

She acted like she was extremely wronged. She started to cry as she talked.

Jared felt heartbroken seeing how she was crying so sadly. He lifted her head and dried her tears with tissues, "It's alright, don't cry."

"Jared, Ms. Garland said that she would make me pay for this. What should I do? I'm scared," said Makenna as she looked at Jared with her eyes all red.

Jared pursed his thin lips wintrily, "Don't worry, I won't let her do that."

"Alright, I believe you, Jared." Makenna sniffled and laid her head on her chest, acting like all she needed was him.

But she was smiling when he wasn't looking. There was a look of content in her eyes.

If Jared protected her, then Gigi couldn't do anything to her.

The Farrell family was powerful, not just in the business world.

"You shouldn't be afraid anymore." Jared used his thumb to wipe away the tears in the corner of her eyes.

Makenna shook her head, "Not anymore. Jared, you're the best.
