How could it be possible?
How could he fail?
Bernardo couldn't accept such a result for a while.
In his opinion, men should be like what he thought. Every man would mind his woman's family background, especially the man with higher status. So, Jared should mind more.
After all, he had a high status, but his girlfriend was an orphan, which would make people laugh at him.
Men, on the other hand, were all sensitive about their reputations. They cared very much about these matters.
Looking at Bernardo's trembling face, Amber couldn't help sneering, "it seems that Mr. Delgado doesn't believe what you said."
She gently poked Jared's waist.
Jared trembled slightly. He pinched her naughty finger and shackled it in his palm. "Don't be naughty."
A man's waist was one of the most sensitive parts of his body. He would have a strange feeling when she touched it.
She was provoking him!
Looking at Jared's dark eyes, Amber also realized why he asked her to stop. She blushed and she pulled her fingers back, as if nothing had happened, turning her head away.
Jared was amused by her cute look. She was like a playgirl who seduced him but didn't take responsibility. "I'll punish you later."
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear. Then he turned to look at Bernardo again with his cold eyes. "I have to say that you don't know me well, Mr. Delgado. Not all men think the same as you. You may be that kind of person, but it doesn't mean that we are the same."
The implication was that Bernardo was the kind of man who cared about a woman's family background and was sensitive about his reputation.
Bernardo understood what he meant. He felt extremely embarrassed, but he could not admit it. He could only force a smile and explained. "Mr. Farrell, you must be joking. I didn't mean that. I'm Amber's uncle. How could I have such a bad idea? I just want her to be happy."
Amber and Jared had exposed Bernardo's plan clearly, which meant that they had already broken up.
But Bernardo didn't want to admit it and was still lying. Amber rolled her eyes and thought Bernardo was so amazing.
After all, she had never seen anyone who was as shameless as Bernardo.
"You want her to be happy?" Jared repeated the words in a playful tone.
Bernardo nodded in a hurry, "Of course, I just feel sorry for Amber. I didn't mean to hurt her or sow discord between you and her. Mr. Farrell, please trust me. If I had such thoughts, I would have done it long ago, wouldn't I? Why should I wait until now? I just feel sorry for Amber. She was abandoned by her biological parents when she was a child, and she was finally adopted and had new parents. But her new mother suddenly fell ill and died when Amber was one year old. Fortunately, when she was five years old, she had a stepmother. But the stepmother was not as kind as her mother."
Speaking of this, he took another look at Amber, but pretend not to see Amber's sullen face and her cold eyes. He pretended to feel sorry for her and continued "Although Hugo was still nice to her, he didn't care about Amber as much as he had done at the beginning. So I think maybe Amber hasn't got much father's love since she was a child, so she likes to stay with all kinds of men after she grows up and wants to get care from them. First, it's the boy from the Lyon family, then it's the male model in the entertainment circle, but I don't know his name, and then it's the man from the Cohen family. Of course, I don't mean anything else by saying this. I just want to tell you that Amber needs love, so there are always men around her. So, Mr. Farrell, you must take good care of Amber. Don't blame her. Let bygones be bygones. Amber is a poor girl."
He had made it clear that Amber was a b*tch who had a relationship with so many men. He didn't believe that Jared didn't mind it at all!
If Jared didn't mind, he would doubt whether Jared was really a man!
Bernardo had made a good plan.
First of all, he stressed that when Amber was one year old, her mother died of an illness. Didn't it mean that her coming was a kind of curse to her mother?
After all, her mother was fine before she came to the Reed family.
Then he said that Amber's father didn't love her, so she lacked love since childhood. When she grew up, she couldn't live without men. She was a skittish woman, so Jared, her current boyfriend, should break up with her.
The last plan failed, but Bernardo believed that this one would work.
