Chapter 96 I Don’t Love Him Anymore
Amber didn’t let Chloe off the hook easily at the press conference, saying, “Chloe mentioned online
that! entangled with my ex–husband after divorce, involved in a love triangle with Mr. Farrell and Ms.
Gardner six years ago, and requested Mr. Farrell to marry me, apart from the last statement, the others
are not true.”
Her announcement stunned the audience, and a journalist seized the opportunity to ask, “Did you
mean it’s true that you requested Mr. Farrell to marry you?”
“Yes.” Amber nodded, her gaze fixed on the journalist.
“What are you saying, babe?” Cole was nervously watching from the side.
How could she have said such a thing so openly?
Jared who was watching at the Farrell Group also scoffed at her statement.
“Though it is true, saying it out loud in public will only make her an even easier target and put
Goldstone in trouble,” Hayden said, looking at Jared, “What’s going through her mind, Jared?”
Jared did not respond.
Meanwhile, at Gardner’s residence.
Makenna had been watching the live streaming and smiled vilely as Amber admitted that she had
requested the marriage with Jared, believing she was digging her own grave.
Amber, on the other hand, remained unchanged despite the journalists‘ delight.
She was aware of the consequences of her acknowledgment, but she had no regrets.
“Ms. Reed, why did you do that?” The journalist inquired.
“Why? Because I loved him,” Amber said after a brief pause, looking down.
Jared’s eyes widened and he sat straight subconsciously. He could tell she loved him by the way she
looked at
him during their six–year marriage. But it never occurred to him that she would make it public.
Jared made a light fist and smiled as he heard that. However, the happiness was short–lived.
“Yes, I loved him, but not anymore,” Amber said as she looked into the camera.
Jared’s expression changed, and his heart was suddenly filled with emptiness.
“Do you think she’s telling the truth, Jared?” Hayden whistled.
“It’s none of my business!” With his fists clenched, Jared snapped.
Hayden sensed his displeasure and smirked, “Is that so? can tell you care, and you care a lot!”
“You should get your eyes checked!” Jared cast a glance over at Hayden.
“All right, I’ll shut up now.” Hayden shrugged unconcernedly and returned his gaze to the live
streaming.
“Don’t you think you’re despicable for using love as an excuse to request Mr. Farrell to marry you in
exchange for saving Ms. Gardner? Mr. Farrell and Ms. Gardner were already in love…” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“First and foremost, I did not interfere with their love, that is not true,” Amber cut him off knowing where
he was going.
“Because I had no idea they were dating. I asked Ms. Gardner if she was in a romantic relationship with
Mr. Farrell while we were at university, but she denied it, saying she only sees him as a friend, so I
went ahead and pursued. him. While requesting him to marry me…”
Amber took a deep breath before continuing, “I have to admit that I was wrong to ask for marriage with
Mr. Farrell in exchange for saving Ms. Gardner after her accident, if…”
“If…” the journalist inquired.
“If I had known they were a couple, I would never have made such a request,” Amber said, raising her
voice. “Why would I be the other woman in a relationship? I come from a wealthy and powerful family, I
have a reputation to uphold, and my dignity will not allow me to do so.”
“So she had no idea you were dating Makenna?” Hayden looked at Jared, dumbfounded.
Not only Amber’s words caught Hayden off guard, it also had a major impact on Jared.
He knew she was Makenna’s roommate at university, so he assumed she took advantage of
Makenna’s condition in a coma and requested him to marry her despite knowing their relationship. He
despised her for it, but he had no idea she didn’t know he was Makenna’s boyfriend.
Jared’s faced turned grim as he learned these. Why did Makenna deny their relationship by claiming he
was just a friend?
Meanwhile, on the national basketball team practice court.
Logan, who was also watching the live streaming following his training session, was taken aback by
what he heard.
“What? Amber had no idea Jared was Makenna’s boyfriend. I misunderstood Amber all along?” Logan
exclaimed,
stunned.
His hands were tightly gripped on the phone as he looked guiltily at Amber on the screen.
He loathed Amber for interfering between Jared and Makenna, but he was mistaken!
“In addition, when I made the request, I didn’t think Mr. Farrell would agree to marry me. I was nothing
more than a stranger to him, and who would have guessed that someone would say yes to a marriage
proposal from a complete stranger?” Amber kept going, rubbing her glabella.
“That’s true!” Almost all of the journalists agreed with Amber.
They would never agree to a marriage proposal from a stranger; only the insane would do so.
“But didn’t Mr. Farrell agree?” The journalist inquired once more.
“Yes, and I was shocked and overjoyed despite knowing he didn’t love me, I married him feeling thrilled
thinking I would win his heart over, but I was wrong.” Amber bit her lip, “It took me six years to realize
I’d never have his heart.”
“Isn’t this a foregone conclusion? Ms. Gardner is and has always been Mr. Farrell’s true love,” the
journalist
stated.
Amber nodded, “Yes, he loves Makenna, but I had no idea. And as a result, I’ve had a difficult life for
the past six years. It irritates me at times to wonder why he didn’t reject my request. I would force him
anyway.” She was not someone without dignity, and she would not push her luck if Jared rejected her
request.
Hearing this, the crowd nodded knowingly. Jared could say no, and Amber wasn’t forcing him, but why
did he say yes?
Hayden was intrigued as well, and he asked Jared, with one hand supporting his chin, “Why didn’t you
reject?”
Jared lowered his gaze to hide his emotion. He wanted to reject at first, but when he saw Amber’s eyes
full of hope, he blurted out a “Yes,” and it was too late to regret later.
“I’m sure you’re interested in my life after marrying him,” Amber said, looking around the room, while
the crowd nodded in unison,
“My married life was downright melodramatic. Suffering cold violence from my husband, mother–in–law
always giving me a hard time, brother–in–law scorning me on a daily basis. How wonderful this
marriage was, huh?” Amber mocked.
Wonderful? It sounded like a living hell.
“Ms. Reed has been suffering cold violence from Mr. Farrell. He is such a scumbag. As a husband, he
had treated Ms. Reed so badly,” someone commented.
