Chapter 214 Conflict in the Toilet
Chapter 214 Conflict in the Toilet
Hayden covered his belly and couldn't stop laughing.
Imagine Jared being a middle-aged, bald and big-bellied guy in his forties.
Amber looked at Hayden, who seemed to be running out of breath from his insane laugh, and said,
"What are you laughing about! Am I wrong?"
"No." Hayden waved his hand repeatedly and said, "You're right. He is indeed in his forties. His hair is
bald. His belly is big, and his eyes are small. In short, he looks as ugly as possible."
Listening to Hayden's description, Amber couldn't help shivering and quickly stopped him. "Enough. I
can't stand it anymore."
Everyone loved beautiful things. Amber admitted that she was also a person who valued appearance.
In short, she really couldn't accept that she had sex with such a man. Even after such a long time, she
still felt disgusted.
"Okay. I won't say it anymore." Hayden rubbed his aching cheeks and nodded repeatedly.
Amber pursed her red lips. "I can't understand why you're making friends with such a person. Your
images are completely incompatible with each other."
"Didn't I tell you? We're not very close friends. We're just acquaintances." Hayden shrugged and
replied.
At this time, Cole came back after answering the phone.
Amber looked at Cole and asked, "What did Jeremy say?"
"He said he's back, and he's going to attend the auction tonight. See you at the banquet after the
auction." Cole put the phone in his pocket and answered.
Amber nodded. "Okay. But didn't we agree that we would pick him up at the airport? Why didn't he
call?"
"His plane is half an hour late. If we went to pick him up, we would be late for the auctions. So, he
might as well come directly. Well, Amber, let's go in first." Cole said.
Amber agreed.
They walked toward the entrance of the hotel and entered the auction site.
Amber and Cole shall be sitting in the back row, and Hayden's seat was among the first few rows. So
after entering the site, the three of them separated.
Amber found her seat according to the invitation card. As soon as she sat down, she felt a gaze falling
on her.
She froze for a moment and looked around, trying to find out who was staring.
However, after searching around and finding nothing, Amber gave up.
In a private room on the second floor of the auction site, after Ben pushed the door open and came in,
Jared left the windowsill and returned to the sofa with a crutch.
"What's the matter?" Jared picked up an auction catalog and read it.
Ben stood behind him and replied, "Mr. Farrell, the Gardner family is here. They want to greet you in
the private room."
"No need. We can meet at the banquet after the auction." Jared turned a page and said impassively.
Ben nodded. "Yes, I'll reply to them right away."
Ben knew that the Gardner family just wanted to sit in the private room and didn't want to sit in the hall
with others.
After all, a private room represented status and identity. Although the Gardner family was powerful,
they were far from being able to sit in the private room of this auction .
After Ben went out, Jared wanted to go to the windowsill again.
Just as he closed the auction catalog and was about to put it back on the shelf, he didn't notice and the
booklet fell to the ground. The originally closed book was opened because of that.
Jared frowned and bent down to pick it up.
As soon as he picked it up, his pupils contracted. "This is..."
Jared saw a familiar ring on it. It was he and Amber's wedding ring!
Although there was some difference in the design between the wife's ring and the husband's, the
difference was not too big. Moreover, it was a customed design, one of a kind, so he could recognize it
at a glance.
Jared quickly looked at the information below. As expected, when he saw the donator "Miss Reed"
printed on it, his face fell.
Amber had donated the wedding ring and participated in the auction!
For a moment, anger surged in Jared's heart.
He didn't throw away his wedding ring and even put it in a drawer in his room.
But Amber took her out for sale.
Jared felt as if he had been betrayed. He stood up, walked to the window, and lowered his head to
glare at Amber below with a gloomy face.
Amber felt that the gaze fell on her again, and this time, she clearly sensed that the owner of the gaze
was angry with her.
"Amber, what's wrong with you?" Cole, who was a few seats away, saw Amber's uneasy face and
hurriedly asked from a distance.
Amber wanted to say that someone was staring at her again, but then she thought that it was useless
to say it out loud. She might not be able to find that person, so she simply shook her head and said,
"I'm fine. I'll go to the bathroom."
Amber had finished reading the auction booklet. She was not interested in the lots on it, so she
obviously did not care that she would miss something good.
"Okay, come back early." Cole reminded her.
Amber nodded, got up, and left her seat.
In the bathroom, Amber came out of the compartment and went to wash her hands.
At this time, she heard the sound of flushing. Then, she saw a door behind her open through the mirror.
Makenna walked out of the room and happened to meet Amber's eyes in the mirror.
Makenna obviously didn't expect to see Amber here. Surprised, she smiled and nodded. "Miss Reed,
what a coincidence."
"Yes." Amber nodded and replied succinctly.
Makenna was very dissatisfied with her attitude. She walked to the sink to wash her hands.
At this time, Amber had finished washing. She took a hand towel from the box next to her and began to
wipe her hands.
Makenna felt a burst of anger when she saw that the hand sanitizer bottle on her side was empty. She
then turned to Amber and asked, "Miss Reed, can you pass me that hand sanitizer?"
"No." Amber wiped the gaps between her fingers and refused without hesitation.
"We were enemies, so why should I give you that?"
Makenna didn't expect Amber to reject her so directly. She bit her lip in anger.
Then, Makenna seemed to think of something. The corners of her mouth curled up coldly, and then she
stepped to the side, knocking Amber away and occupying Amber's spot at the basin.
Amber didn't expect Makenna to do this. After stumbling a few steps, she held the edge of the sink in
time to avoid falling down.
"I'm sorry, Miss Reed. I didn't do it on purpose. You won't mind, will you?" Makenna rubbed her hands
together and pretended to ask, but her eyes were full of malice.
Amber looked at Makenna expressionlessly, which she found a little creepy. Makenna's expression
stiffened.
At this time, Amber suddenly raised her bag in her hand and smashed it on Makenna's head.
Makenna was caught completely off guard. Her hair was in a mess and her makeup was also smeared.
More importantly, her head was throbbing with pain.
"Amber, how dare you hit me!" Makenna's body trembled as she gritted her teeth and glared at Amber.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
Amber took another handkerchief and slowly wiped away the cosmetics stain on her bag. She said in
an indifferent voice, "I'm sorry, Miss Gardner. I didn't do it on purpose, so you won't mind, will you?"
The familiar words rendered Makenna choke at words. A mixture of feelings made her face look like a
glitching TV.
This was exactly what she just said to Amber!
What a slap in the face!
