Chapter 107 What Do You Like About Her?
Amber stopped chatting and put her phone down.
Cole curled his lips in jealousy. “It takes you such a long time.”
Amber could sense his jealousy, rolling her eyes at him. “Enough. Aren’t you going back to the
company? You
should leave now.”
“Ha! Woman! You always drove me away,” Cole stood up and said ironically.
Amber tried so hard to hold back her laughter. Ignoring him, she picked up a file and started reading.
The Gardner’s.
When Mrs. Gardner heard that Trenton had been arrested, she was shocked. She didn’t know what to
do but cry.
Sitting on the sofa, she held a box of tissue on her knees.
There was a pile of used tissues on the tea table in front of her.
“What should we do, Makenna?” Mrs. Gardner looked at her daughter opposite with her reddish eyes.
Makenna didn’t weep. Biting her bottom lip, she said, “I don’t know either. I’ll call the shareholders in
the group to
see if Dad could be bailed.”
“Go ahead. Hurry up,” Mrs. Gardner urged her.
Mrs. Gardner was just a housewife, relying on Trenton all the time.
Now, her husband had been arrested. She felt as if the sky had collapsed.
Makenna pulled out her phone and dialed a number of a shareholder who was close to the Gardner
family.
The call was soon connected.
However, a few minutes later, Makenna took off the earphone with a dejected look.
Seeing that, Mrs. Gardner had a bad hunch. She still asked expectantly, “How did it go?”
Makenna shook her head. “Uncle Fleming said Dad had hired someone to destroy the museum built by
the government. The evidence is solid, so he can’t be bailed.”
Mrs. Gardner paled, feeling the whole world spinning.
Covering her chest, she cried more loudly. “How could this be possible? Why did your father destroy
the museum
belonging to the government?”
Makenna lowered her head in silence, hiding the twisted look on her face.
She couldn’t understand. Her father had hired someone to destroy Amber’s factor, but why did it turn
out to be the museum belonging to the government?
She wondered what on earth had happened.
“Makenna, contact Jared.” Mrs. Gardner suddenly had an idea. She grabbed Makenna’s hand instantly.
Makenna looked at her. “Contact Jared?”
“Right. Since your father can’t be bailed, we should let the government release him. Isn’t Jared a friend
of Hayden Cohen? You should ask Jared to talk to Hayden Cohen so your father can be released,”
Mrs. Gardner said.
Makenna’s eyes lit up. She stood up and said, “I’ll go to him now.”
No matter what, she must rescue her father. Otherwise, the board of directors would dismiss her father
from his position. Even if her father still held the most shares, he would lose the authority of
management and decision- making in the group.
In that case, her status in the celebrity circle would reduce.
Makenna picked up her purse and left the Gardner’s, heading to the Farrell’s Mansion.
When Jared returned home after work, he saw Makenna in his house, chatting with Shonna.
“Hello, Jared.” Makenna saw him and stood up with a smile. “You are back.”
Shonna also smiled and said, “I wonder why Makenna didn’t respond to my words. It turned out she
had seen you. All right. I’ll leave you guys in peace.”
“Mrs. Farrell…” Makenna blushed, feeling shy.
Shonna covered her mouth and left while giggling.
“Why are you here?” Jared looked at Makenna, putting down his briefcase.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Makenna walked to him and held his arm. “Why? Can’t I come here?”
“Nah. You should inform me ahead. Then I can pick you up.” Jared led her to the sofa and sat down.
Makenna poured him a glass of water. “It’s alright. I can drive myself. You don’t need to pick me up.”
Jared hummed and looked over at her. “You came here all of a sudden. What’s the matter?”
Makenna hesitated for a while and asked, “Jared, you should know my father has been arrested,
right?”
“Yes.” Jared took a sip of the water. “So you came to me for your father, didn’t you?”
“Yes.” Makenna nodded. “Jared, can you help my father, please? He didn’t mean to destroy the
museum on purpose.”
Not on purpose?
Sarcasm flashed through Jared’s eyes and vanished immediately. He shook his head slightly. “I’m
afraid I can’t
help him. I’ve asked around about Uncle Trenton’s case. There’s solid evidence. The government
refused to let him
be bailed out.”
“I know. I didn’t ask you to bail my father out. Could you please ask Mr. Cohen for help? As long as the
Cohen. family speak, my father would definitely be released.” Makenna looked at him with her watery
eyes expectantly.
Jared frowned. “The Cohen family can save Mr. Gardner for sure, but they won’t do it. Once they did it,
their opponents would use it against them. Do you understand, Makenna?”
Moreover, it was time for Olkmore City to change the government officials. The Cohen family aimed at
the mayor
position.
Hence, they wouldn’t bear making any mistakes.
“I don’t understand.” Makenna’s eyes reddened instantly. “You haven’t tried yet. How do you know the
Cohen
family will be unwilling to do it?”
Jared frowned more deeply. “Do you think I’m lying to you, Makenna?”
“I didn’t,” Makenna answered in a low voice with evasive gaze.
However, Jared could tell she didn’t mean what she said. Pursing his thin lips, he felt exhausted.
“Anyway, please
stay away from this trouble. Uncle…”
“I can’t,” Makenna clenched her fists tightly and interrupted him, “He’s my father. I can’t just sit and
watch him go to jail without doing anything. If you don’t want to help me, I’ll figure out a way myself.”
Then, she left while weeping.
Jared wanted to stop her, but somehow, he didn’t.
On the second floor, Logan looked down from the handrail. “Aren’t you going after her, Jared?”
“No. She needs to calm down.” Jared rubbed his sore temples.
Logan curled his lips. “How could Makenna do that? You didn’t refuse her, but she thought you wouldn’t
help her. You planned to save her father in another way, but she couldn’t understand it. She even
blamed you. How
unreasonable!”
“Enough. Stop it,” Jared snapped impatiently.
Logan snorted. “Why should I? I’ve seen everything clearly. Jared, you refused Makenna’s request to
contact Hayden, but she blarned you. I can tell Makenna isn’t so nice as she looks. She’s such a
narrow–minded woman.”
Jared looked down in silence.
Seeing that he didn’t retort, Logan gaped. “No way, Jared! Do you also think she’s narrow–minded?”
Jared cast a cold glance at him.
Logan wasn’t scared. Instead, he trotted downstairs excitedly. “Jared, when did you realize she’s like
this? Since you’ve known it, why do you still like Makenna? What do you like about her?”
What did he like about Makenna?
Jared blinked. In fact, he also didn’t know what on earth he liked about her.
He loved the girl who exchanged letters with him. She was kind–hearted, beautiful, and lively. Like the
Sun, she brought warmth to others.
However, he could seldom see those characteristics in Makenna.
He even doubted several times if Makenna was the girl who exchanged the letters with him for real.
However, if she wasn’t, who would it be?
“Jared, what are you thinking about?” Logan noticed that he was in a daze. He waved in front of Jared.
Jared pressed his lips. “Nothing. I’ll go upstairs.”
“Jared, you haven’t answered my questions yet.” Logan followed him.
Ignoring him, Jared closed his bedroom door in his face.
