Braylee stood motionlessly, clenching her fists while gazing at Jared and Amber. Her face was ferocious, her eyes bloodshot.
Amber could feel the evil intention and jealousy from her, frowning. She asked Jared, who was walking to her, "What have you talked to her?"
Jared didn't hide anything from her, repeating his conversation with Braylee earlier.
Upon hearing it, Amber sneered. "She has been so good at telling lies ever since she was a kid."
"That's her nature. No matter what she has experienced, it won't be changed," said Jared.
"I agree. She confused right and wrong in the past to gain all our father's attention and love. She wanted to make Dad misunderstand I was a bad child. Now, she does it for you. She has a crush on you."
Amber raised her head, looking at Jared with a faint smile.
Jared felt awkward.
Of course, he could tell Braylee's purpose in approaching him.
Hence, he had already been sickened.
"All right. Let's stop talking about her. Come on. Aren't you starving?" Jared pressed the elevator button.
On the other side, Braylee watched them leave, almost burned down by the flame of jealousy in her heart.
She knew Amber had married into the Farrell family and what the family meant.
However, she hadn't paid much attention to the Farrell family as she heard that Amber's ex-husband disliked her. Besides, he was a bald, old man with a big belly.
Hence, back in Country K, when Jonah Pratte called Jared Mr. Farrell, Braylee didn't associate Jared with Amber's ex-husband, the master of the Farrell family.
Now, she knew that the master of the Farrell family wasn't the bald old man in the rumors. Instead, he was extremely handsome.
Such a handsome, wealthy, and powerful man was exactly whom Braylee dreamed of having. She finally found a man to conquer.
Besides, Jared loved Amber. At this point, Braylee decided to steal him from Amber.
Anyway, she would steal everything belonging to Amber, including this man and Goldstone.
Thinking of that, Braylee raised her chin. She gazed in the direction where Amber and Jared had gone, her eyes full of determination.
On the other side, Jared took Amber to a restaurant.
He pulled the chair for her.
Amber took off her jacket and sat down.
Jared sat down opposite, passing her a menu. "Why did you keep Braylee Reed in Goldstone? Even you've given her five-point-five percent shares. You don't need to give her a position in the company, right?"
"Right," Amber answered while browsing the menu, "I thought it would be better to watch her under my nose. If not, probably, she would vanish again."
"Why do you want to watch her?" Jared asked, filling their glasses with water.
Amber pressed her red lips. "Nichole suggested I do so. You know I keep Braylee Reed by my side to find the evidence that she has drugged Dad. Also, I want to give birth to a child."
"A child?" Jared frowned in confusion. He didn't understand what Amber wanted to do.
Amber closed the menu, looking at him. "In fact... I'm not my parents' biological daughter."
When Jared heard her words suddenly, his eye pupils shrank. His hand holding the water glass trembled, almost spraying the water.
"What did you say, Amber? Aren't you the Reed family's biological daughter?" Jared tightened his grip on the glass, gazing at her without a blink.
He wondered how she had to know it.
Had Amber known she was the Gardner family's daughter?
