Speaking of Amber Reed, her voice started to sound a little shrill.
Jared Farrell already reached the start of the stairs. After he heard her words, he narrowed his eyes, stopped immediately, and turned around.
Shonna Woodham didn’t expect that Jared would suddenly turn around. Looking at his gloomy face, Shonna was a bit shocked, “Jared, you...”
“Mom, we’ve talked about this before. I don’t mind that you dislike Amber, after all, you get to choose whom you like or hate. But could you at least show some respect and hide away your resentment in front of me? It’s upsetting seeing the woman I’m in love with being trampled on by others, especially by you. Don’t you get it, mom?”
Jared looked at Shonna coldly.
Shonna bowed her head. “I hear you.”
“Right, you heard me now, but you never learned.” Jared said in a cold voice, “Amber has never wronged you. What good does it do you to hate her so much?”
Shonna’s lips move, but no words came out between them.
Of course, she knew she wasn’t doing herself any good by treating Amber as an enemy.
It was just that she was an elder and that Amber had embarrassed her a few times, so she had been holding grudges against Amber ever since. That was why the hatred had been piling up.
Therefore, every time she saw or mentioned Amber Reed, she subconsciously began to pick on her.
Seeing that Shonna didn’t say a word, Jared rubbed his temples, “Fine. Anyway, you’ve promised me before that you will never hurt Amber.”
“I did, and I never have. I was just being mean with my words, anyway.” Shonna muttered.
If Shonna wanted to hurt Amber, she would have done it already.
She wouldn’t have to hold back until now.
Besides, she never forgot what Jared had said to her. If she ever hurt Amber, it’d only lead to Jared deciding to send herself away to live in other properties of the Farrell family - Jared would always choose Amber over Shonna.
That only equaled that Shonna would be kicked out of the Farrell family - she would never want that for herself.
Right now, she was just being assertive. She wouldn’t dare take action against Amber Reed.
“Don’t you scold her either.” How could Jared not know what was going on Shonna’s mind? He lightly opened his thin lips and said coldly, “I can’t bear to say anything bad to her or about her, so how could I let others do so? Whether it’s now or in the future, Amber will not be living in the same house with you - you could just pretend she never existed. And what you think of her doesn’t matter to me.”
No matter how dissatisfied Shonna was, she could only nod her head in agreement.
Seeing her do so, Jared turned around again and went upstairs.
Shonna stood there, stomped her feet, and went back to the sofa.
Not long after Shonna sat on the sofa, Jared came downstairs with a jewelry box in his hand.
As soon as she saw the jewelry box, she immediately got up and walked over, “Jared, what did you get for Amber?”
He opened the jewelry box to show Shonna. “A set of sapphire.”
Looking at the set of sapphire jewelry, she couldn’t take her eyes away and reached out to touch it.
Jared saw her intention and immediately closed the box, isolating her movements and eyes.
There was no way he would let Little Maple put on jewelry that had been touched.
Not to mention if that person who touched it was someone disliked by Little Maple.
Shonna didn’t expect that Jared would close the box all of a sudden, so she was stunned for a while. She took a while to react, and looked at him in disbelief, “Jared, why did you close it so suddenly?”
“It’s getting late. I’ve got to go.” Jared didn’t give her an explanation - he put away the box and prepared to leave.
Shonna grabbed her, “Hang on a second, Jared. Can you tell me why you are giving her jewelry first? Is it really a good idea giving away such precious jewelry?”
