Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 98

"What should I do, Makenna? Amber has threatened to sue me," Chloe cried.

Amber's actions surprised Makenna as well. "Calm down, calm down," she said to Chloe.

"How should I calm down? If she sues me, I'll have a criminal record, and everyone will laugh at me," she said nervously.

A lady with a criminal record would never be accepted by a wealthy family as a wife. If she failed to marry into a wealthy family and help with her family's business, her father would find her useless and bring his illegitimate daughter into the family to replace her.

The more she thought about it, the more feared she became. "You have to help me, Makenna, I did everything for you," she said, clutching her phone tightly.

Did she? Makenna bit her bottom lip, irritated. She only hinted Chloe to prank Amber, but she didn't tell her how to do it.

Despite unwilling to, her lips said otherwise, "I know, I will help you,"

"Oh yeah, you said to seek help from Mr. Farrell last time; I'm sure he'll help if you ask, and Amber is no match for him," Chloe sighed in relief.

"That's correct, but Jared rejected me the last time I asked, and if I ask again…"

"Please ask him again. He loves you, he will listen to you," Chloe cut her off before she could say no.

Makenna was upset, but she didn't show it, "But..."

"You promised to help, Makenna," Chloe interrupted her once more.

Makenna was on the verge of losing her patient. "Alright, I'll try again," she said.

"Thank you, Makenna," Chloe said before hanging up the phone.

Following their conversation, Makenna went to the Farrell Group.

"Mr. Farrell, Ms. Gardner has come to see you," Ben went into Jared's office and informed him of Makenna's presence.

"Let her in," Jared said, looking up from his work.

"Yes," Ben said, inviting Makenna into Jared's office.

"Did you smoke, Jared?" Makenna asked, frowning when she smelled cigarette smoke the moment she stepped inside.

"Yes, one bud," he said, nodding.

"Why did you smoke? I hate the smell of cigarettes," she said, fanning the air in front of her.

"Really? I had no idea you dislike the smell of cigarettes. I once asked in the letter whether you mind me smoking, and you said no You even suggested a mint flavor cigarette to me, which was the one I smoked just now," Jared said, looking at her skeptically.

Makenna's heart throbbed and she hid it with a smile, "I didn't mind, but after six years in a coma, I can't stand the smell of cigarettes anymore."

Jared accepted her explanation without suspicion.

Makenna sighed inwardly, relieved that Jared believed what she said. She now wished she hadn't burned all the letters before reading them. But there was nothing she could do now.

"Try to quit smoking. It's bad for your health," she said quickly, changing the subject.

"All right," Jared said, nodding.

"You are the best, Jared," Makenna said, clutching his arm.

Best? Jared looked down as he remembered Amber's words from the conference.

He had been mistreating her for six years because of his skepticism. Was he the best?

He was slightly irritated by this and pulled his arm free from Makenna's grasp. "Makenna, why did you tell Amber I was just your friend six years ago?" He asked coldly.

He would not have treated Amber the way he did if she had told the truth.
