In the evening, Rodney came back a little earlier than usual. He found that he had a lot of questions to
ask Amber, but he didn’t know how to answer them.
Ashley’s mother had been remarried and married to Issac’s father. Although Issac had nothing to do
with Amber, he was Amber’s uncle according to his seniority. Thinking that he and Amber knew little
about her in the past five years, Rodney felt sad.
Before the wedding, he had asked about Amber’s family. She said that his father and mother were
dead, and he had no doubt that there was only one uncle. Now that he thought about it, he could not
blame Amber for not telling her. At that time, he only knew that he was with her and did not care about
what she was thinking at all. It was no wonder that Amber would hide his thoughts in his heart.
Rodney was conflicted. Finally, when he was strolling with Amber after dinner, he began to ask
tentatively, “Amber, is there any other siblings in your mother’s mother other than your uncle?”
Amber was stunned. “No, I don’t think so!”
Since she could remember, she knew that there was only one uncle. Other children would go back to
her grandmother’s house with their parents during the holidays. She was also very envious at that time,
so she asked her mother this question. Her mother told her that both her grandfather and grandmother
were dead. Later, she also took her back to the South City to visit the grave, but she only saw her
grandfather’s grave.
She once asked where her mother’s and grandmother’s grave was, but her mother didn’t answer.
Seeing her mother’s angry look, she didn’t dare to ask again.
She had never asked about how many siblings her mother had. In her impression, Ashton was the only
uncle. At that time, the relationship between her uncle and her mother was not very good.
Her mother rarely took her back to see her uncle, but her uncle always remembered her. He often
asked someone to bring delicious food to her, and also bought gifts for her on the New Year’s Day.
Channing seemed to dislike Ashton very much. In her impression, Channing had never mentioned her
uncle, so she guessed that the relationship between her mother and her uncle at that time should have
something to do with her father.
Later, her mother died in a car accident, and her uncle, Ashton, appeared in her life.
At that time, it was his uncle who dealt with the funeral for his mother. Channing had just had a meeting
in a foreign place. When he heard that his mother had rushed back because of something, his uncle
had already burned his mother.
It was the first time that she had seen Ashton get angry. Her eyes were red as she punched and kicked
at Channing. Channing had been beaten black and blue. She didn’t have many interactions with
Ashton. On the contrary, she had a deep affection for Channing. But that day, when she saw Ashton
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthitting Channing, she didn’t hate him at all.
Later, when Ashton wanted to take her away, Channing did not allow it. She remembered that
Channing had warned Ashton viciously, “Don’t force me! Let me expose your past and it’s not good for
everyone!”
Later, Ashton gave up taking her away, but told her, “Uncle has been in the tube-shaped building in the
South City. When he misses you, he will come back to see you. He will often come to see you in the
future.”
Later, Shannon appeared with Celia. Looking at the several-year-old Celia, Amber finally understood
his uncle’s anger. She didn’t want such a shameless father, so she resolutely left Channing and
returned to Ashton’s side.
Now Rodney suddenly asked what he wanted to do with these questions. He was not bored. There
must be a reason to ask. Amber asked again, “Why are you asking this?”
“I don’t want to do anything. I just want your mother to die early. You were still young at that time. You
don’t know if you have other relatives…”
“Other relatives?” Amber stopped and looked at Rodney. “I only have one uncle. I’ve never heard of
any other relatives.”
“Could it be that your mother didn’t tell you?” Rodney probed.
Amber glared at him. “What do you mean? It’s a good thing that I have other relatives. Why didn’t my
mother tell me?”
Amber’s question made Rodney speechless for a moment. He suddenly realized a problem. Ashton
was Issac’s son, so Amber’s mother must know about it. What was the reason why she didn’t tell
Amber? Was it because Amber was too young or did he have other considerations?
If it wasn’t a good thing that Ashton was the son of Issac, then Amber’s mother had her reason for
choosing not to tell her daughter. She didn’t want to affect her daughter. If that was the case, would it
be appropriate for him to tell Ashton that he was the son of Issac?
The key point was that this matter had not been confirmed yet. It was still too early to say this now. It
was better to wait for Kelsey and Itzel to meet and see the result.
As for why the matter of Issac shaoye becoming Ashton was so strange? This matter still needed to be
investigated carefully before making a decision.
After Kelsey and Itzel recognized each other, they hugged each other and cried. Kelsey was so happy
that she cried, while Itzel was acting. She soon stopped crying and tried to persuade Kelsey not to cry.
After the two stopped crying, Itzel began to explain to Kelsey that she had no other choice. At a young
age, she was forced to be pointed at. Later, she was pregnant and could not bear to have an innocent
child, so she chose to give birth. However, it was very difficult for an unmarried woman to take the
child, so she sent her to the orphanage. Anyway, she was saying how she had no choice and asked
Kelsey to forgive her.
After Kelsey forgiven her, she asked again how Kelsey had been through these years. Kelsey naturally
told her everything that had happened these years. Itzel had no interest in Kelsey’s life these years.
She just wanted to ask about how Kelsey had found her from the side.
When Itzel found out that Kelsey had started searching for her because of the jade pendant that Amber
was wearing, she was shocked. It was not a good thing to be found out by Rodney. She made a few
turns in her heart and then made a request to Kelsey.
It was said that she had been forced to do this at the beginning, which would affect her reputation. She
begged Kelsey not to reveal the fact that she was a mother and a daughter, even if it was Rodney.
Kelsey hesitated. Rodney was so kind to her that she didn’t want to lie to him. Itzel could tell that she
was hesitating. She told Kelsey that she was a friend of Rodney’s mother and that no one knew that
she was forced to get pregnant before getting married. If she told Rodney about this and he wasn’t
paying attention to Rachel, she wouldn’t be able to lift her head anymore.
It was cruel for Kelsey to work hard to find her mother, but she couldn’t make her relationship public. It
was just that she was a kind person. She didn’t want to find her mother for anything else. She just
wanted to fulfill her wish. Kelsey knew that Itzel was not an ordinary doctor now. She was an expert on
TV often. Thinking that it was not easy for a woman to get her current position, she chose to agree.
When the two of them walked out of the restaurant, they realized that it was already late Club Cobalt.
Itzel had repeatedly instructed Kelsey not to tell Rodney about her relationship with him before
breaking up.
On the way back, Itzel began to plan in her heart. It was a big problem for Kelsey to stay in South City.
She had to find a way to keep her far away. However, she would never appear in South City, and Celia
could not delay any longer. She had to make a quick decision, so she immediately went to find Rachel.
Rachel was surprised to see Rachel at this time. “What happened?”
“I saw Shannon in the hospital yesterday and talked about Rodney and Celia while chatting. Shannon
told me something. I thought about it and decided to tell you.”
“What did she say?” Rachel was naturally interested.
“I said you went back on your word, didn’t keep your word, and treated the engagement as a child’s
play. Fortunately, she didn’t choose to believe you.”
Hearing this, Rachel was furious. “Isn’t this caused by her daughter? What does it have to do with me?”
“Don’t be angry. Let me finish.” Itzel knew Rachel’s temper. “The most important thing is not that
Shannon said you didn’t like credit, but about the sports meeting. I heard from Shannon that she had a
card up her sleeve.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You’ve held back a trick?”
“When Amber came back, she didn’t want Rodney to see her change of mind, so she left a hand in the
matter of the sports meeting to prevent you from going back on your word. I didn’t expect you to use it
now.” Itzel was good at lying.
“What can Shannon do?” Rachel was suspicious.
“Don’t look down on Shannon. She is so capable. I think she wants me to tell you this. After all, she
knows that I have a good relationship with you.”
“What does she mean?”
“Shannon is disappointed with Rodney, but Celia likes him. She has no choice. Shannon means that if
you can let Rodney and Celia be together, she will find a way to leave the bid for the sports meeting to
the Barron Enterprises.”
“I knew it. They said that it was fair competition. It turned out that they had kept it a long time ago.”
Rachel was furious when she heard that.
“This is also human nature. The bidding of the sports meeting is not a small matter. Think about it.
There are so many companies looking at you covetously. Many companies are lining up to give you
gifts. If you are not sincere, how could they give you for free?” Itzel analyzed. “You are also on your
guard against them. It’s normal for them to guard against you.”
“It’s normal for them to guard against me. I have to guard against them. Who knows if what she said is
true?”
“That’s simple. According to my suggestion that day, you should find a way to let Rodney and Celia be
together to show your attitude. Shannon is naturally relieved.”
“It’s just that Rodney doesn’t listen to me now. Look, he’s not back at home right now. What can I do?”
“If he doesn’t usually go home, won’t you go home on your birthday?” Itzel reminded him. “This Monday
is your birthday. When he comes back, you can create an opportunity to let Celia and Rodney be
together. As for the future, it depends on her luck.”
“Will it work?”
“Why not? Anyway, if you don’t suffer any losses, you can get the money for the sports meeting in vain.
As for the future, if Celia can get pregnant, you can marry her. If you can’t get pregnant, you don’t have
to worry. Anyway, if you try your best, Shannon can’t do anything to you.”
Rachel thought for a moment and said, “That’s a good idea.”
Hearing that she agreed, Itzel fell to the ground. Rachel was the only one who could help. As long as
she could create an opportunity for Rodney and Celia to live in the same room, even if Rodney did not
touch Celia, she would have a way to make Celia pregnant with Rodney’s child.
