Chapter 218 Looking for Trouble at the Banquet
When Amber heard those comments, she smiled and ignored it.
She had heard these words for countless times.
"Amber, aren't you angry?" Jeremy asked.
Amber took a sip of juice, "Why should I be angry?"
"They slander you." Jeremy narrowed his eyes and scanned at them, as if he wanted to remember
them.
Amber smiled and said, "Take it easy. They say what they want, and I can't seal their mouths. Besides,
there are so many people, and I can't deal with them one by one."
"But I'm angry." A trace of ferocity flashed across Jeremy's eyes and disappeared in an instant.
They insulted Amber, and he would not let them go!
Amber didn't know what Jeremy was thinking about. She patted his shoulder and said, "Well, I know
that you want to defend me, but I'm not angry anymore, so don't bother with them. Just let them talk.
They're nothing but dickheads with a mouth."
Jeremy nodded with a smile, "I see."
"I want another glass of juice." Amber put the empty cup aside and went to the fruit area.
Jeremy and Cole did not go with Amber.
Cole put his hand on Jeremy's shoulder and whispered, "Are you gonna deal with those people?"
Jeremy pushed Cole's hand away and said coldly, "They slander Amber. I must teach them a lesson."
"I support you, but you should be careful and don't make them suspect Amber."
"I know." Jeremy interrupted him.
Cole patted Jeremy's shoulder again, "Well, Amber is coming back. Don't expose yourself."
Jeremy agreed.
Amber walked over with a glass of mango juice and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?
You looked so serious just now."
"We are talking about what we should give you on your birthday." Cole laughed.
Jeremy nodded, "Yes. Amber, what do you want?"
Amber smiled, "My birthday is in June next year. Don't you think it's too early to talk about this?"
"I don't think so. Some gifts need to be customized in advance." Jeremy shook his head and replied
gently.
Cole said, "Yes."
"You're talking about preparing birthday gifts for Amber? Count me in." Hayden suddenly came over
and interrupted.
Cole looked at him, "Amber's birthday has nothing to do with you!"
"Why? I'm also Amber's friend." Hayden puffed out his chest and said.
Cole sneered, "Your friend is Jared."
"So what? You don't put a limit on how many friends you make. Besides, Amber and I are business
partners, right?" Hayden winked at Amber.
Cole pursed his lips and had nothing to say.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes and asked, "Amber, what are you working with Mr. Cohen?"
"There are some very important things. I can't tell you the details for the time being." Amber replied with
a smile.
It was the grudge between the Reed family, the Gardner family, and the Cohen family. There was no
need to tell Jeremy.
If she told Jeremy, he would be worried about her.
Seeing that Amber was unwilling to tell him, Jeremy felt quite dejected.
"Amber, I'll introduce you to some big shots in business." Hayden suddenly said.
Amber's eyes lit up slightly, but then she looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you so kind to help me?"
"Just take it as a thank-you for taking care of Jayden last time. Well, let's go. Don't let those big bosses
wait too long." Hayden grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
Although Cole was dissatisfied, he did not stop Hayden for the sake of Amber's career.
Jeremy looked at Hayden's back with a gloomy face, "Cole, when does he get on so well with Amber?"
He knew that Hayden was Jared's friend, but he had never seen Hayden interact with Amber before.
How did Hayden and Amber get so familiar with each other after two months? And Jeremy really
disliked the way he looked at Amber.
"Because of business." Cole shook his glass and replied.
Jeremy turned to look at him. "What kind of business is it?"
Cole spread out his hands. "Drop it. Since Amber doesn't want to tell you, I can't go against her. Let's
go. I'll take you to meet some big shots in the entertainment industry."
On the other side, with Hayden's help, Amber met many important figures and got their business cards.
Although many of these bosses gave her business cards for the sake of Hayden, some of them did so
because of her. They were impressed by Amber's eloquence and wits.
Although there were not many of them, it was still a delightful thing for Amber.
At least, she got some support. She believed it would be of much help in the future, maybe a smoother
path for her.
"Amber, sorry, I need to go to the washroom. You..."
"I'll go to the rest area. I've been standing there for a long time, so I want to have a seat." Amber
interrupted Hayden and said to him with a smile.
Hayden nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the bathroom first."
Hayden put the wine glass on the waiter's tray and turned to leave the hall.
Amber put the business cards into her clutch bag and was ready to go to the rest area.
Just as she had taken two steps, she was stopped by an affected female voice. "Isn't this Amber? Why
are you alone now? Where are your boyfriends?"
Amber pursed her red lips and turned around to look at Chloe and Makenna, who were walking
towards her.
Makenna pulled Chole's arm. "Chloe, don't do this."
Then, Makenna smiled sheepishly at Amber. "Miss Reed, I apologize for her. I'm sorry. She didn't do it
on purpose. She's just being straightforward."
"She is straightforward?" Amber sneered. "Do you know what 'straightforward' means? It means that
someone blurts out the truth without hesitation. So, you're suggesting what she says is true? In that
case, why are you apologizing? Don't you think it's just hypocritical?"
"Miss Reed, how could you say this...?” Makenna bit her lip, looking as if she had been wronged. "Even Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
if I didn't use the right word, you don't have to accuse me of being hypocritical."
"Yes." Chloe raised his head and said indignantly, "Makenna said something wrong, but you don't have
to be so pushy. And I didn't say anything wrong. You are flirting with those men..."
"Are you envious?" Amber crossed her arms and looked at Chloe mockingly.
Chloe blushed and shouted, "I'm not jealous!"
"Since you are not envious, why did you mention Hayden and others? Even if you want to pick on me,
you don't have to use the men around me as an excuse." Amber sneered.
"I... I..." Chloe was so pissed that her eyes turned red and she couldn't say anything.
Amber gazed at them with disdain. "When you come to pick on me the next time, I advise you to think
of a better argument. Otherwise, you'll just make a fool of yourself!"
After that, Amber turned around and was about to leave.
Makenna bit her lower lip. As a fierce glint flashed across her eyes, she suddenly reached out to grab
Amber's arm.
As soon as Makenna touched Amber's arm, the look on her face had changed into a frightened
expression. She started to walk backwards and suddenly stumbled to the ground, and the glass in her
hand was broken, wine soaking her dress.
This scene silenced all the people at the banquet and people all looked over.
Seeing this, Makenna raised her head and looked at Amber with tears all over her face. "Miss Reed,
you've gone too far. I just touched you. Why did you push me?"
