Chapter 186
Chapter 186
“Don’t look at me like that. I thought a lot last night. I basically didn’t sleep all night. It was my fault that you and Amber ended up like this. In the past, I always wanted to find a woman of equal status to you, so my requirements were inevitably higher. I was also a lot harsher to Amber. In fact, I didn’t have bad intentions. Now I know I was wrong, so I went to apologize to Amber and let her marry you again.”
Rodney couldn’t believe that his mother would be so reasonable. “Mom, are you talking nonsense?”
“What nonsense? What I said is true. Amber is so pitiful. He has no mother at such a young age and has gone through so many hardships. And he also met his mother’s mother-in-law who was so unreasonable… What happened in the past was all my fault. I have figured it out. I will not stop you from being with Amber in the future. You can ask her for help.”
“Mom, why did you change so much?” Rodney was really too surprised.
“My child, why do you have so many questions? You were unhappy when I stopped you and Amber in the past, but now I agree to let you be together. Why do you have questions?”
“I just can’t believe it. Mom, you didn’t change your mind just because you wanted to sleep, did you?”
“No, don’t worry. Go and beg Amber to turn back. I’m still waiting for my grandson to call me grandma.”
“Thank you, mom!” Rodney left home excitedly. Rachel looked at the smile on her son’s face and suddenly realized that this was the first time she had seen such a comfortable smile on his face in recent years. She sighed in her heart.
Why was she so pedantic in the past? If she had figured it out earlier, her son would not have had such a bitter face for so many years.
Rachel and Rodney were in a good mood, but Riya began to feel nervous.
Because she had asked someone to take care of her, Rachel’s dependence on her was getting less and less. Today, she didn’t take her with her when she went out, so she didn’t know why Rachel went out.
After Rachel came back, she had always wanted to figure it out.
Coincidentally, Rodney came back. The more she hid aside, the more clearly she heard the conversation between Rodney and Rachel. If Rachel went to ask Amber and Rodney to reconcile, what about Celia?
Riya knew why she stayed in the Barron family. No, she had to tell Shannon about it and let her find a way to deal with it.
Hearing Riya’s report, Shannon panicked. She immediately called Itzel and asked her to go to Rachel’s place to find out what made Rachel change her mind and beg Amber.
Itzel immediately bought some fruits that Rachel liked to eat and went to the Barron family’s house. Rachel was very happy to see her and said, “It’s fine as long as you’re here. Why do you bring things with you every time?”
As she spoke, she asked Riya to quickly pour tea. Itzel took a sip of tea and deliberately mentioned Celia. “Celia went to the hospital for a check-up today. From NôvelDrama.Org.
I heard that everything is very good.”
“Don’t mention her! It will affect your mood!” Rachel frowned when she heard Celia’s name.
“What’s the matter? Is it also because of what happened last time?” Itzel pretended to be a person. “You’re wrong about Celia. I heard that it was a lie made up by Zoe. She blackmailed Celia. Celia ignored her, and she tried to get revenge.”
“Really? I heard that Zoe’s leg is broken and she lives in the hospital. Why is her leg broken?”
“What happened this time? How come I don’t know?” Itzel pretended to be surprised. “Since Zoe didn’t learn well, she must have offended someone.”
“Don’t you think it’s too coincidental?” Rachel asked, “She just talked about Celia’s embarrassing things, but her leg was suddenly broken. It seemed that someone had deliberately taken revenge.”
“I don’t think it was Celia who did it. As a rich young lady, she is weak. How could she know those people?”
“She doesn’t know her mother. I heard that her mother had a very good relationship with some local ruffians before.” Rachel felt uncomfortable when Itzel spoke for Celia and her daughter. “Itzel, why did you always speak for Celia?”
“I didn’t speak for them. I just thought that Celia was weak and didn’t look like that kind of person.”
“So she disguised herself well!” Rachel sighed. “I’ve seen so many people in my life, but I didn’t expect that she would fall into a trap. She’s really shameless! Celia and Shannon are not simple people. I was deceived by her false image and realized that I didn’t realize it until today. Fortunately, Rodney has always insisted. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be looking for trouble if I married such a disgusting person back home? She’s also the daughter of a mistress, and she’s so vicious. If I really let her marry Rodney, wouldn’t I lead a wolf into my house?”
“Do you mean that you don’t intend to let Celia and Rodney be together?”
“Of course. She’s such a vicious woman. How can I let her in? It’s too late to avoid her.”
“But she’s pregnant with Rodney’s child?” Itzel reminded him.
“Speaking of the child, I have something to tell you. You know that Rodney has never liked Celia. Whether she is pregnant or not, he doesn’t like her.
This time, Rodney has always been tough to let her have the child. I was dizzy and forced Rodney to not dare to do anything. Now, think about it. If the child is left behind, it will be a disaster. I already have two grandchildren. It’s not like I can’t have any grandchildren in the future. There are plenty of opportunities to have grandchildren. Why do I have to have a baby with such a vicious woman? I can’t keep the baby in Celia’s belly, which will affect the relationship between Rodney and Amber.”
Itzel didn’t expect that Rachel would change so much. For a moment, she had no idea. “But Celia has a problem with her health now. She can’t lose her baby. If she does, she can’t give birth to a baby.”
“That’s a problem.” Rachel sighed. “Why do you think this Celia is so shameless as to insist on having Rodney’s child? She clearly knows that Rodney doesn’t like her. Why does she have to give birth to a child for Rodney?”
“She likes Rodney, doesn’t she?”
“No! I don’t believe that she loves Rodney. If Rodney is poor, would she choose to be with him? Amber is different. When she was pregnant, she didn’t choose to stay. Instead, she chose to give birth to the child and raise it alone.
How ambitious do you think she is? So Amber and Rodney are suitable for each other. No matter how poor and rich Rodney is, she can fight with Rodney.”
Hearing Rachel praise Amber and Itzel, she was really upset. In the past, she had been at a disadvantage compared to Ashley, but now her daughter was at a disadvantage compared to Ashley’s daughter. How could she be angry?
However, it was not the time to be angry. They had to see how Rachel was going to deal with Celia. “Now that Celia’s child can’t be removed, how are you going to deal with her?”
“What else can we do? She must give birth to the child, and then let her give birth, but she can’t talk about the child. Anyway, I won’t be fooled, and Rodney won’t be fooled either.”
“What if she asks you for children?”
“I don’t have the money to give her. I have to make it clear to her and find a lawyer to make an agreement. She is willing to give birth to the child, and it has nothing to do with us. Either we give birth to the child and raise it for us, we don’t want her to give us any money, or we can get rid of the child.
Anyway, if we don’t listen to us and give birth to the child, we won’t give her a penny.”
Itzel didn’t expect Rachel to say something like that. Rachel’s ruthlessness to Amber had been replaced by Celia’s. Itzel hated her in her heart, but she was afraid that Rachel would suspect her, so she didn’t dare to say good words for Celia, so she had to leave.
Itzel didn’t feel good about leaving the Barron family. Although she used to think that Rachel was good at changing things, she had never been targeted at others.
Rachel’s change of mind at this time was a big blow to them. If Celia was not pregnant, and if Celia’s health was fine, they could take a step back now. But now they had no way back.
Celia had to give birth to this child, and she had to be recognized by Rodney.
However, Itzel was very clear about Rachel’s personality. When she liked someone, she liked him unconditionally, and when she hated someone, she also hated him unconditionally.
Because she knew this characteristic of hers well, she had never forgotten to belittle Amber and raise Celia. Therefore, Rachel hated Amber so much that she had never changed her mind.
Itzel never dreamed that the trick she had used to deal with Amber would be used on Celia. What should she do now?
She had to discuss it with Shannon and find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
Shannon did not have a good time these days. After she was sent to the police station by Rodney, the police interrogated her again and made a special confession.
Because Channing had a special case of Casen, after the interrogation, people in the police station called Channing to report this matter to him.
When Channing heard that the person who framed Amber was caught, he immediately went to the police station in person. After reading the interrogation report, Channing’s expression began to become abnormal.
The person who had instructed Casen to deal with Amber was Little Nine, the leader of the local ruffians in Little Parkview Street? Little Nine and Amber had never known each other before, so how could she have thought of dealing with Amber?
Blake was definitely not the real mastermind behind the scenes. There must be someone else behind the scenes, but who could it be?
Amber was kind and never made trouble. Channing was sure that Amber would not offend anyone. So who wanted to hurt Amber?
When he heard that Casen was sent here by Rodney, Channing went to see him and asked him what he thought about this matter. Rodney smiled faintly and said, “Didn’t Casen say that it was Blake who ordered it? Since someone has been confessed, let’s wait until the police catch Blake.”
“Do you think that the mastermind is Blake?” Channing asked.
“Or what?” Rodney smiled politely, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes. What did Channing want to ask him about? To find out the truth, or to find out who was behind this.
Rodney used to have some respect for Channing, but recently, he despised him very much. He slept with his wife’s best friend, made a mistress, and left his own daughter outside for so many years. Was this a human thing?
He didn’t believe that Channing was sincerely helping Amber. To Channing, his black cap was more important than anything else. If he knew that it was Shannon who dealt with Amber, he might not really want to help Amber. On the contrary, he would find a way to suppress this matter because of his reputation and reputation. What Rodney needed to do now was not to let Shannon get away with it, but to let Shannon get the punishment she deserved.
“I don’t think it’s that simple. Blake is just a gangster who has no grudge with Amber. How could she think of harming Amber? There must be someone behind this.” Channing had just told Rodney about his worries. “I suspect that there are other people behind this.”
“Who are you suspecting?” Rodney asked in reply.
“I…” Channing had just suspected that the person was Shannon. Shannon was from Parkview Street, so she naturally knew Blake and the others.
However, there was no evidence. Besides, Shannon was his wife. How embarrassing would it be to say that this wife schemed against his daughter?
Channing suddenly realized one thing. If this matter was found out to be true, it would have a bad impact on him. His reputation would definitely be ruined, and there would be no hope for him to improve his reputation.
Channing swallowed back his words. This matter couldn’t be exposed. He had to investigate it slowly. If it was Shannon who rushed him, he would have a thousand ways to kill her.
Seeing that Channing was hesitating, a look of mockery appeared in Rodney’s eyes. This Channing was just as bad as he thought. Fortunately, he had already fallen into a trap.
