My Ex-Wife is So Beautiful

Jeremy raised his eyebrow, “How did you…”

“Looks like I’m right. You are Edmund Rylands’ son.” Stella smiled.

Jeremy’s face looked quite hideous. He appeared not in a gentleman’s way anymore, “When did you know it?”

“Now,” Stella waved her hand, “But I’ve always been suspecting that you are the child of Mr. Rylands and you have already known it. But I have no evidence. That’s why I asked you that. Now your reaction tells me that I’m right. When I mentioned his name, the hatred I sensed in your eyes told me you do remember how you left the Rylands’.

Otherwise, he would not have refused her when he knew he was the son of Mr. Rylands.

The only answer was that he had his childhood memory and he was reluctant to return home.

Jeremy bit his lips tightly and remained silent.

Stella heaved a sigh, “For me, your silence means you agree my words. But I still need your hair for a paternity test.”

Though she was quite sure that the man standing before her was the young master, she still wanted to do a paternity test for security.

Over this, Stella reached out her hand to Jeremy’s head.

A sense of hatred flashed in his eyes and suddenly he attacked Stella.

Stella quickly dodged and defended herself.

Then they began to fight in the corridor.

Though Jeremy was a man and was quite tall, he could not beat Stella. That’s because Stella was trained as a killer when she was young. Soon, she caught Jeremy with ease and pressed him against the wall.

Seeing Jeremy struggling with his face filled with rage and humiliation, Stella patted his face, “My little boy, you were at school when I killed someone for the first time. Now your hair is mine.”

Then she pulled of some hair from his head.

Jeremy mourned out of pain and glared at Stella with rage.

Stella freed him fearlessly, “Okay. Now I got the hair.”

“I won’t let you go,” Jeremy said coldly with his hands clenched into fists.

Stella smiled, “Well, I can wait. If you get back to the Rylands’ and take your revenge on me, I promise I will not fight back.”

“I can deal with you even if I am not Jeremiah Rylands.” Jeremy replied while tiding up his clothes.

He could not beat her physically.

But he believed he was the smarter one.

Stella looked more serious, “That’s enough. I’m here to tell you that you have to get back home. My father told me yesterday that the Fourth Young Master’s men have been here in Olkmore. Obviously, they have known you are here. Then they will find you soon and you and the people around you will suffer.”

She stared at Jeremy, “You have your childhood memories and you know what kind of person the Fourth Young Master is. He would do everything as long as he can get all the things in the Rylands’. The first thing he needs to do is to eliminate you, the legitimate inheritor of the Rylands’. If he could not get to you at this moment, he will get to the one you value the most to make you suffer life-long agony. Do you want Ms. Reed to be noticed by the Fourth Young Master?”

Jeremy’s face changed frequently. But it remained quite dark.

Of course not.

He won’t let anyone hurt Amber.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Stella smiled as if she knew what Jeremy had in mind, “I know you hate Mr. Rylands. But for the sake of Ms. Reed and your mother, you have to come back home. Remember, your mother is his wife and you are the legitimate son of the Rylands’. Why would you give all those to the bastard? You’d better think it over.”

After that she picked up the files on the ground and wiped off the dust on it before she headed to Amber’s office.

She was at this floor. But she was in Sheila’s office and was discussing business with her. After that, she needed to find Ms. Reed to have some paper signed.

But when she got out of the office, she saw Jeremy standing here so she started a conversation with him. Now Ms. Reed must be waiting for her. She must leave.

Staring at Stella’s back, Jeremy clenched his hands into fists. In his mind, the words “for the sake of Ms. Reed and your mother” kept echoing repeatedly.

Maybe he should return home.

The next day, Amber went to the Farrell Group.

In the morning, she was informed that she should come to the Farrell Group to attend a meeting about new energy.

Now the technology in this field was advanced enough. Now they only need a field trial.

Then the new energy could be employed in all the major factories. That fact had made the meeting all the more important. No one should be absent.

Amber parked her car in the underground parking lot and headed towards the elevator.

Luckily, the elevator was at the basement level I. Amber pressed the button and the door was opened soon.

She walked in and was about to close the door. But then she heard someone said from the outside, “Please wait!”

Amber used her hand to open the door unconsciously.

It was Ben who came inside. He smiled regrettably at her, “Thank you, Ms. Reed.”

Amber was surprised a bit by his appearance.

But soon, she calmed down again.

It’s quite normal to see Ben here. After all, she was at Jared’s place now.

“You’re welcome.” Amber nodded as reply.

Ben held the button to keep the door open and had quite a few looks outside as if he was waiting for someone.

Amber bit her red lips.

She knew what he was waiting.

In the Farrell Group, there was only one man he could wait for, that is, his boss Jared Farrell.

As she expected, Jared appeared.

He was standing outside the elevator. Noticing Amber’s presence, he seemed to be taken aback before he strode in, “Morning!”

Amber walked sideway to dodge him, “Morning.”

Jared frowned as he noticed her dodging him and then he said, “What a coincidence!”

“What?” Amber turned away to look at him.

Staring at the door of the elevator, “We always meet each other when we attend the meetings about new energy.”

Amber’s eyes got wide open.

Indeed!

Ben who stood in the corner silently secretly rolled his eyes back.

That’s definitely not a coincidence!

When they met accidentally in the elevator before, it was pure coincidence. But this time Mr. Farrell waited in his car deliberately after he knew Ms. Reed would also be present in the meeting so that he could meet her “accidentally” in the elevator.

That’s only small tricks played by Mr. Farrell.

“Makenna’s trial is today, right?” Jared asked suddenly.

Amber nodded, “Right.”

She was not surprised Jared would know it.

The date of Makenna’s trial was already disclosed online.

“Congratulations. She could finally be punished by law,” Jared said with his hands in pockets.

Amber gave him a contemptuous look, “If it were not you, she would be punished by law earlier.”

Jared was stunned by her words and then he lowered his head, “Sorry.”

Though he did not do those things out of his own wish, he really did so.

“Okay. It has all passed and you’ve helped me a lot. I don’t mind what you did anymore. So, you don’t have to apologize.”

Then with a plinking sound, the elevator stopped.

Amber did not move. She wanted Jared to go first.

After all, Jared was the host.

Jared knew what she had in mind and got out of the elevator first. After that, Amber also got out.

But then she found that Jared was standing out there waiting for her.

“After all, I want you to believe me that all the things I have done for Makenna was against my will.” Jared said with his eyes fixed on Amber earnestly.
