Amber didn't let Chloe off the hook easily at the press conference, saying, "Chloe mentioned online that I entangled with my ex-husband after divorce, involved in a love triangle with Mr. Farrell and Ms. Gardner six years ago, and requested Mr. Farrell to marry me, apart from the last statement, the others are not true."
Her announcement stunned the audience, and a journalist seized the opportunity to ask, "Did you mean it's true that you requested Mr. Farrell to marry you?"
"Yes." Amber nodded, her gaze fixed on the journalist.
"What are you saying, babe?" Cole was nervously watching from the side.
How could she have said such a thing so openly?
Jared who was watching at the Farrell Group also scoffed at her statement.
"Though it is true, saying it out loud in public will only make her an even easier target and put Goldstone in trouble," Hayden said, looking at Jared, "What’s going through her mind, Jared?"
Jared did not respond.
Meanwhile, at Gardner's residence.
Makenna had been watching the live streaming and smiled vilely as Amber admitted that she had requested the marriage with Jared, believing she was digging her own grave.
Amber, on the other hand, remained unchanged despite the journalists' delight.
She was aware of the consequences of her acknowledgment, but she had no regrets.
"Ms. Reed, why did you do that?" The journalist inquired.
"Why? Because I loved him," Amber said after a brief pause, looking down.
Jared's eyes widened and he sat straight subconsciously. He could tell she loved him by the way she looked at him during their six-year marriage. But it never occurred to him that she would make it public.
Jared made a light fist and smiled as he heard that. However, the happiness was short-lived.
"Yes, I loved him, but not anymore," Amber said as she looked into the camera.
Jared's expression changed, and his heart was suddenly filled with emptiness.
"Do you think she's telling the truth, Jared?" Hayden whistled.
"It's none of my business!" With his fists clenched, Jared snapped.
Hayden sensed his displeasure and smirked, "Is that so? I can tell you care, and you care a lot!"
"You should get your eyes checked!" Jared cast a glance over at Hayden.
"All right, I'll shut up now." Hayden shrugged unconcernedly and returned his gaze to the live streaming.
"Don't you think you're despicable for using love as an excuse to request Mr. Farrell to marry you in exchange for saving Ms. Gardner? Mr. Farrell and Ms. Gardner were already in love..."
"First and foremost, I did not interfere with their love, that is not true," Amber cut him off knowing where he was going.
"Because I had no idea they were dating. I asked Ms. Gardner if she was in a romantic relationship with Mr. Farrell while we were at university, but she denied it, saying she only sees him as a friend, so I went ahead and pursued him. While requesting him to marry me..."
