My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 256

His approaching footsteps reached her ear like thunder and stamped on her heart like a hammer while his cold expression contracted heart and circled her with fear and panic.

She stepped backwards subconsciously, with no gut to utter a single syllable.

Seeing her reactions, Jared glared at her with hatred, "So, you can't give me an answer, right? That's because you have never lived in Cobalt Coast; you have never had a dog; and you don't have a step-mother or sister. Can you still say that you are Maple Leaf now?"

Boom!

Makenna fell on the ground heavily, and out of desperation, she totally went blank.

Jared knew that she couldn't keep her lie anymore and she had already admitted her deeds by making no response.

"Makenna!" Mrs. Gardner stepped forwards immediately and held Makenna in her arms. She slightly shook Makenna's shoulders and asked, "Are you okay?"

Makenna moved her lips a little but couldn't say a word.

Mrs. Gardner turned to Jared since she couldn't make her daughter speak. She turned to Jared and asked, "Jared, what do you mean exactly? Amber Reed? Maple Leaf? What is it?"

Jared still stared at Makenna and his eyes were full of contempt. He said, "Your daughter has lied to me for six years. She pretended to be the one I truly loved and she has enjoyed the things that don't belong to her in all these years."

"You mean, you don't love Makenna?" Mrs. Gardner raised her voice.

Jared sneered, "Yes. I have never loved your daughter. The one I love is Amber. Amber is my pen pal and your daughter stole her identity and lied to me. Just think about it. How come I had suddenly said to someone that I loved her when I had never even met her before?"

"Well…" Mrs. Gardner was made speechless by this question.

Indeed, they had never met each other until six years ago.

Well, to be more accurate, Jared had never met Makenna before but she had known him for a long time, since he was so extraordinary that no girl in the upper circle could ignore him.

And one day six years ago, Jared suddenly appeared at their door and said that he had fallen in love with Makenna. Mrs. Gardner was confused by him at that time since she knew that he had never seen her daughter before. He even looked at Makenna with soulful eyes.

But she let the puzzle go at that time. She believed that Jared loved Makenna at their first sight and the restless hormone of youth strengthened his affection.

She didn't expect that Makenna had gotten Jared's love by stealing.

Knowing the truth, Mrs. Gardner cast a strange look at Makenna.

Makenna avoided her mom's eyes with guilt. She stood up, grabbed Jared's arms and wept, "I am sorry, Jared. I am sorry. It is all my fault! I shouldn't have pretended to be Maple Leaf! But I couldn't control myself at that time since I love you so much!"

Makenna knew that she couldn't excuse herself anymore.

So, the only thing she could do now was to apologize sincerely to win Jared's forgiveness.

Once she was forgiven, she could continue to be with him.

"You love me?" Jared sneered coldly.

He forced Makenna to look up at him by pinching her jaw. He said, "You love me so that you deceived me by pretending to be Maple Leaf. So, all of us can be a thief and imposter like you when trying to get something from others, huh?"

Jared's grip on her tightened as he spoke.

Waves of pain spread from Makenna's jaw, which made her grunt and her tears rolled down continuously.

Seeing her tears, Jared's heart started to throb painfully.

But he knew this time that the pain was not caused by his so-called affection towards her—it was exactly the same as what had happened last time in the restaurant.

This time, no matter how painful it would be, he would not tolerate nor forgive her anymore.

Jared released Makenna's jaw and took out his handkerchief from his pocket to clean his fingers with disgust.

He directly threw the handkerchief away after wiping his fingers.

"Makenna, I will break off our engagement as soon as possible. Besides, I won't forgive you for lying to me. We are done."
