Logan trembled with fear. After hanging up the phone, he nimbly picked up his school bag and rushed towards the door without the need for Amber to chase him out.
When he opened the door to leave, he turned around and warned Amber, "Since you have accepted my gift, you must come to school on Saturday to help me! If you tell on me to my brother, I'll also tell him that you slept with a toy boy right after divorcing him!"
Amber was rendered speechless.
Logan ran at the fastest speed in his life towards the south gate in exactly two minutes.
As soon as Logan reached the roadside, he saw Jared's car. Jared was smoking in the driver's seat with a leisurely posture and smoke lingering around his fingertips.
Logan gasped while getting into the front seat. Then, he buckled his seat belt.
Jared glanced at him coldly and exuded an oppressive vibe. It made Logan lower his head and dared not speak.
When the car hit the road and drove up steadily, Jared finally spoke, "Didn't I tell you not to come to her? You didn't take my words seriously, did you?"
"I do not have any money with me…"
Jared sneered, "There are several hotels under the Farrell Group. Who doeesnt' know that you are the second young master of the Farrell family?"
"I have an upset stomach lately, so I went to her to get some nourishment." Logan said stiffly, "Brother, didn't you know that my sister-in-law cooks very well?"
At that moment, Logan realized that he had said it wrong, so he immediately corrected himself. "It should be my ex-sister-in-law. Although you guys are divorced, it's not like I can't go to her place and eat, right? Besides, she opened the door and cooked for me. I didn't ask for it."
Jared gave another sneer and obviously did not believe Logan's nonsense.
"Brother, actually, Amber is quite nice," Logan spoke cautiously.
Since he was counting on Amber to go to school to help him, he wanted to say a few more good words for her in front of Jared. Besides, he genuinely thought that Amber was kind.
Sometimes, one could not just listen to other people's words to judge whether a person is good or not. One must see to believe.
Seeing that Jared remained silent, Logan mustered up the courage to continue, "I heard that her family's company is not doing very well. Brother, why don't you help her out? Or you can teach her how to do business when you have time. When she divorced you, she did not ask for anything. Her life is quite difficult…"
Logan had decided not to tell Jared that Amber used to have an online relationship with someone.
After all, who did not have a past?
"Does your face still hurt?" Jared interrupted him.
Logan licked the inside of his mouth. "It did hurt just now, but not anymore after she applied medicine for me."
"When you get back, apologize to mom. Stop playing basketball and study hard too." Jared put his hand on the car window. His expression was cold, "When I was sixteen, dad handed me a bunch of things. He even wanted me to enter the Farrell Group and learn from the higher-ups."
Logan lowered his eyes. When he wanted to speak, Jared spoke before him. "Or do you want to go abroad to study tomorrow?"
Logan dared not talk back to Jared at all. He only lowered his head and fell silent.
...
Amber did not take Logan's words to heart. She was busy with meetings and dealing with a bunch of things.
When Cole had the time to come to Goldstone, she called on the group and had a meeting with him. They analysed the acquisition of Maxmatch and finally came to an agreement.
If they were to properly reorganize Maxmatch, it could become a great help for Goldstone. Besides, Amber could afford the purchase price.
However, many people were also looking for the owner of Maxmatch, as they wanted to buy out the company. The owner of Maxmatch got so annoyed that he went on a trip abroad in December and had not returned ever since. He also did not answer his phone, so it was hard to get in touch with him.
