Although Amber complained internally, she said no more. Instead, she squeezed a little hand sanitizer and replied in a cold, quiet voice, “It’s not much a coincidence, because we’re all in the main part of Olkmore, and the main part of Olkmore is not big, so it’s normal that we see each other occasionally.”
Makayla Gardner did not expect this response from Amber. Her face stiffened and she said, “Well, you’re right.”
Amber raised her eyebrows, paused from rubbing her hands, and looked back at her, “You seem nervous, from the moment you saw me. You’re not afraid of me, are you?”
Makayla Gardner’s eyes widened and her voice rose sharply, “No way! How could I possibly be afraid of you? You must be joking, Miss Reed.”
Then she looked down and rubbed her hands quickly.
She acted as if she were trying to scrape off a layer of injured skin, and it looked painful.
Amber narrowed her eyes, “Am I?”
She gave an inscrutable chuckle, “Miss Gardner, you’re not acting like I’m joking. Your face and your actions told me that you are panicked and upset. Before you saw me, there was nothing wrong with your expression except that you were sick after throwing up. And then you saw me and you’re all flustered and nervous and scared, which makes me wonder if you’ve done something wrong to me, huh?”
“No!” Makayla Gardner jerked up her head and replied hastily, “Miss Reed, I absolutely didn’t do anything wrong to you. If I did, there’s no way that Mr. Farrell would let me go.”
When she spoke, she looked extraordinarily sincere.
Amber could see that she was telling the truth, so she frowned and said, “If you haven’t done anything to me, why are you so nervous when you see me? What are you nervous about?”
Even if the woman did not secretly do anything to her, but based on the woman’s behavior when she saw her, she had to suspect that this woman had something in mind.
Makayla Gardner felt even more guilty when she saw Amber’s penetrating eyes. She stared away from Amber, not daring to make eye contact, “I’m not nervous.”
“You’re lying!” Amber couldn’t go on listening to that, so she frowned and said in a stern voice, “I made it so obvious, you were guilty when you saw me, and then, at the end of the day, you’re still lying. Judy Lashley, you’re getting more and more hypocritical, just like Trenton Gardner. You two really are father and daughter.”
This remark might have struck a sensitive spot for Makayla Gardner, who suddenly smiled sarcastically and looked at Amber with a look that Amber didn’t understand, “Thank you for your compliment, Miss Reed, but you are wrong.”
She and her dad, they were not really father and daughter.
Yeah, why wasn’t she a Gardner?
Why couldn’t God have allowed her to be a Gardner?
Amber froze as she watched Makayla Gardner’s sudden anger and jealousy.
Jealousy?
Why would Makayla Gardner be jealous of her?
What did Makayla Gardner have to envy about her?
The Gardner family was richer and more powerful than she was, and if anyone was jealous, it was she who was jealous of Makayla Gardner.
Why was Makayla Gardner jealous of her now?
It was impossible for her to be jealous of her wealth. Again, the Gardner family was richer than she was.
Was she jealous of her looks?
She wasn’t bragging, and she was better looking than Makayla Gardner, but Makayla Gardner was not bad either. Especially with her improved skin and makeup, Makayla Gardner was a real beauty now, so it was impossible for her to be jealous of her looks.
If it was not about money and looks, was it because of the man?
That was all women cared about. Except for money and looks, there are only men left.
Jared’s physique, gorgeous looks, and wealth made him the best man in the world, and he had got a ton of women eyeing him.
She could say without hesitation that more than 90 percent of Olkmore’s rich girls had feelings for Jared, so adding a Makayla Gardner wasn’t that much right now.
The thought of Makayla Gardner hitting on Jared made Amber jealous.
