Mrs. Lyon loved the Internet so much that she couldn’t miss what was going on online.
She was shocked when Amber and Jared showed off their love online.
After all, she knew Amber was gentle and reserved, and didn’t like to make a big deal out of it. She thought it was almost impossible for her to do something like showing love online.
Jared was even less likely to do any of these things. The Farrell Group was so big that he was too busy every day to do those things on the Internet.
Plus, Jared was aloof and arrogant, and certainly not the kind of guy to do that.
But these two men, neither of whom seemed capable of doing such a thing, did.
How could she not be surprised?
So, she called Amber.
“Amber, this whole Internet thing with you and Jared, it’s really hilarious. Not only did you make the stock price go up, but the entertainment industry went along with it. That’s a pretty impressive display of affection.” Mrs. Lyon said with a smile.
Amber blushed shyly, “I simply wanted to show off his gift to the employees of the company. I had no idea it would be posted on the Internet and cause such a stir.”
“It’s a good thing, though, that letting people know about you and Jared were together in the right way will keep a lot of other people off the hook. Like the one that Cole said that she stole from you a while back, and then apologized to you all over the Internet…”
“Alice.” Amber reminded.
Mrs. Lyon nodded, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s her. You should also show her and any other woman who’s after Jared how good your relationship is that they can’t get in the way of it.”
Amber heard this and laughed, “I didn’t think so much of it, but from what you say, it’s a good thing.”
“Yes, of course.” Mrs. Lyon snorted, “One thing I didn't tell you was that a while ago, I was out having tea with the ladies, and Mrs. White, who owns the seafood market, knew I was a friend of you, so she was snooping around on me about your relationship with Jared.”
“Really?” Amber was stunned.
“Yeah.” Mrs. Lyon curled her lips, “She has a daughter at home, about your age. Recently, there seemed to be something wrong with their seafood market. They seemed to take dead fish as live fish, which was investigated by relevant departments. In order to solve the problem, the White family asked about the unmarried young people in the circle and wanted to marry their daughter so that the in-laws could help them. Not just at Olkmore, but across the country there are few people who are better than Jared. So, they wanted to go after Jared, and they wanted to start with me.”
Amber purses her red lips and dropped her face, disgusted.
No one would be happy about being poached.
Mrs. Lyon continued, “How can I tell Mrs. White honestly when I know what she’s up to? If I did that, I’d be hurting you. So, I teased her, and you have no idea how embarrassed she looked.”
At this point, Mrs. Lyon covered her lips and laughed.
Amber smiles, too. “Thank you, Mrs. Lyon.”
“You’re welcome. Anyone would be disgusted by such a thing.” Mrs. Lyon waved her hand, “However, Amber, I don’t think the White family will be able to stop. They’ve been asking around for invitations to the mall party.”
“The mall party?” Amber frowned.
Mrs. Lyon nodded, “Yeah, this mall party is full of high-status people in Olkmore.”
“I know.” Amber nodded, “I also got an invitation.”
In the current state of Goldstone Co., she wouldn’t have gotten an invitation.
