Amber's mood was lightened when she received a present from Jeremy, who was currently out of town.
She put the ring on her ring finger after replying to Jeremy, hiding the trace of her former wedding ring.
While Chloe glanced at Amber and her ring, her eyes were full of jealousy,
Amber's happy face annoyed Jared slightly.
Chloe had never expected Amber would receive such a lavish gift, so she was surprised. "Isn't Cole your lover, Ms. Reed? You use his name to get here. And Mr. Lynch is your rumored lover, the model, is he?" She said loudly.
"I guess both of you aren't simply friends since he got you such an expensive gift." Chloe ridiculed, "I didn't believe the rumor that you cheated on Mr. Farrell, which led to your divorce, but I do now," she said.
Amber laughed quietly to herself, knowing that no one knew why they were divorced better than Jared.
Amber turned to Jared, thinking that he would clear things up for her, but he sat next to Makenna and did nothing.
She had just witnessed everything, so why was she still hoping? Her love for him was gone, as was the tattoo on her waist.
"Does Cole know you received a present from Mr. Lynch? And does he know you're a two-timer?"
"What is the point of having a big-mouth in a private room?" Cole, who was dressed in a black T-shirt, stated as he entered the room. "Where is the loud wench?" He asked, looking viciously at Chloe. "I want to cut off her tongue!"
Chloe took a few steps back and nearly fell to the ground in fear, as Cole stood in front of her, staring her down from head to toe, asking, "Why do you seem scared? Are you that obnoxious wench?"
"No…No…" Chloe was stuttering.
"I believe you are; you sound like one," said Cole. "Bring me a knife, anyone?" Cole growled as he yanked her hair and shoved her against the poker table.
"Be careful not to injure yourself, this is a sharp one," Stella said as he handed him the little knife alongside the fruit tray.
"Makenna, Gigi, help..." Chloe screamed out, shivering in terror.
But no one dared to say anything. Makenna clenched her fist on Jared's sleeve and wanted to walk forward, but Jared motioned for her to stay seated.
He was curious about how far Cole could go to protect Amber.
"Am I talking to deaf-mutes here?" Cole looked around and noticed Jared and Makenna were also present.
