“Amber…”
Jack’s expression changed drastically, and he felt like his heart was going to jump out of his ribcage.
He hastily broke into a chase.
However, the Mercedes-Benz G-class was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, it almost disappeared from view.
All of a sudden, on a mountain path not far away, two strong rays of light pierced through the darkness.
With a loud screeching sound, the cars stopped abruptly when they almost banged into each other.
Jack had a massive shock when he saw that. He hurriedly rushed to the scene, but when he was almost at the scene, he saw someone getting off the car.
He was completely stunned.
After a moment of being in a daze, the surging anger accumulating in his heart could no longer hold itself back anymore.
In an instant, Jack seemed to have transformed into a blood-seeking beast who had a pair of red eyes. He couldn’t stop himself from rushing towards that figure not far away.
At the same time, Amber emerged from the the G-class car.
Amber had a forlorn and hopeless expression on her face as she stared at the figure in front of her.
She could only mutter bitterly, “You’ve succeeded!”
The one emerging from another car was none other than Katherine!
Katherine had a long hair draped over her, and she was studying Amber with a complicated expression.
When she was about to say something, Jack was already in front of her.
He gaped at her and his fury seemed to have broken free from his restraint. They were pouring out at the moment.
So, everything had been planned beforehand. Everything was part of a conspiracy.
All of his efforts had seemed to go down the drain.
Worst came to worst, he might even lose Amber.
What had happened was not merely challenging his limits, but rather, his limits had been shattered violently!
“Katherine, you have really come up with such a vicious plan. Are you here to watch the good show unfold?”
Jack was clutching Katherine’s shoulders, and because of his immense strength, Katherine felt a jolt of pain course through her body. She couldn’t help but frown.
“Jack, stop it!”
Amber called out with tears staining her eyes.
Jack trembled violently as he turned around and shot a glance at Amber.
Almost immediately, he came back to his senses and started to explain, “Amber, things are not how you think it is. It was my fault just now for overreacting, but you really need to believe me.”
As he said that, he looked at Katherine with his reddened eyes.
“The Parry family has brought misfortune to me for the whole three years I was with you, but are you planning to bring even more harm my way? I believe I have been very tolerant of you guys, so why are you still doing this?”
Jack was really flustered at the moment.
His expression was one of anxiety, and he even looked lost.
He had never been that nervous even if DT real estate agency had experienced any kind of danger and even if the price of the building was about to crash.
That was because compared to DT real estate agency and everything in his life, Amber was way more important!
Jack was almost howling at Katherine, “Please explain everything to Amber now. Please don’t hurt me like that…”
Not far away, Brent who was seated in the Rolls-Royce was at a loss for words when he watched this scene.
Was that person really his master?
In his impression, Jack had never acted like that!
However, Amber raised up her head stubbornly while trying to clean her eyes of her tears, “Stop it, Jack, You should stop acting like that. I even feel disgusting seeing you like that. That’s not the Jack that I know in the first place…”
Jack was stunned by her words. Her words had morphed into a sharp blade that pierced through his heart.
He weakly let go of Katherine while staggering backwards.
At the moment, he felt like his soul had left his body.
After saying that, she produced a meek smile, “I wish you a lifetime of happiness.”
Then, she turned around and got back into her car, and off she go.
Jack watched her car disappear in the darkness of the night and the tremendous anger in his heart finally dissipate bit by bit.
Katherine’s sudden appearance was something he never expected, but to his surprise things were developing in a better direction now.
“So… everything was just a misunderstanding?”
Amber’s soft and weak voice broke the silence first. She didn’t sound as cold as previously anymore.
Jack showed the palm of his hands and said, “Or else? To put it simply, we’ve been framed. That was just a farewell, nothing more. It should have lasted at most five minutes.”
The moment he said that, Amber suddenly plunged into Jack’s embrace and started to sob, “You fool, I am so scared that you don’t want me anymore.”
Lately, Amber was just breezing through her days in a forlorn state. Her mentality was being tortured all the time because of that photo.
Now, since she had learnt that it was just a misunderstanding, she could finally set free all of her indignation and grievances.
Jack felt very sorry for Amber as he felt her tiny frame tremble and shiver in his embrace. He said with emotion, “I will never betray you. Don’t forget our promise.”
The night breeze was cool.
The image of them hugging each other was taken in by Steve and Rosie in a Mercedes-Benz G-class vehicle not far away.
The couple let out a sigh of relief.
Rosie couldn’t help uttering some complaints towards Steve, “Look at you just now, you’re too aggressive and impatient.”
“You’re blaming me now? What’s wrong with a father taking care of his daughter’s feelings” Steve’s face was slightly blushed as he shot a sideway glance at his wife.
After some time, Jack lightly removed Amber from his body and pointed at a peak not far away that housed TM Villa District.
“So now, do you allow me to propose to you when we go back to the villa?”
Amber’s face was completely flushed as she nodded with her eyes fixed on the ground.
Jack was ecstatic as he held Amber’s hand and led her back to the G-class vehicle. He then declared seriously, “Everything that happened tonight is within my plans. I’m doing this for your sake!”
