Chapter 59 Apologize

Amber pursed her pale lips and said, “I fell on my own, but I don’t think my fall was that simple.”

“Amber, did you suspect anything?” Cole asked while looking at her.

Amber nodded and explained, “I fell because I stepped on something slippery when I came out of the washroom cubicle. I smelled a scent that reminded me of shower gel right before I fell.”

“How did it come to be the shower gel in front of your cubicle?” inquired Cole as he widened his eyes in surprise.

“I’m not sure.”

“Could it be that someone accidentally dropped the shower gel and it spilled in front of your cubicle, and you happened to be so unlucky and stepped on it?” Cole speculated while rubbing his chin.

Amber’s eyes narrowed and he added, “That’s one of the possibilities, but I think the chances are low.”

“Why?”

Amber tilted her head slightly to look at him and said, “Because I didn’t hear the sound of something falling when I was in the shower.”

In other words, someone had deliberately poured the shower gel in front of her cubicle door.

Cole said as he stood up, “It must be Makenna. We only have two enemies at this resort: Jared and Makenna. It was impossible for Jared to enter the female spa, so it had to be Makenna who did this.”

“It’s her. She was there when you called me last night. She should have heard I was going to shower and followed me there,” Amber stated as she clutched the quilt in her hands.

Cole became enraged and exclaimed, “Makenna was too malicious. We must call the police! We couldn’t forget this matter!”

Cole took out his phone from his pocket.

However, Amber stopped him and said, “It’s useless because there was no CCTV in the shower room. There was no evidence that she was the one who poured the shower gel. Even if we can prove that the shower gel spilled on the floor was similar to hers, she can still claim that she spilled it by accident.”

Cole frowned and added, “Then what should we do?”

Amber said after a brief silence, “Unless we can get a recording of her admitting to murdering me on purpose.”

*This was so simple,” Cole said with a sinister grin and added, “I can have someone pretend to have the recording to scare her, and she will definitely tell the truth.”

Amber’s eyes shone with hope. The doorbell rang just as she was about to continue the conversation with Cole.

“Who is it?” Cole inquired while walking towards the door.

When the door opened, Jared and Makenna were standing outside.

“Mr Lyon, Makenna addressed him with a smile.

Cole said with a nonchalant tone, “What are you doing here?”

“We’re looking for Amber. Is she here?” Jared asked while fixing his gaze on him.

Cole was dressed similarly to the previous night, indicating that he had spent the entire night in the room with Amber.

When Jared realised Cole and Amber had spent the entire night in the same room, his eyes darkened, and he became irritated.

“Cole, who is it?” Amber asked from across the room with a weak voice.

Cole didn’t hide anything from her and replied loudly. “Mr Farrell and Ms Gardner are here, and they say they are looking for you.”

Amber’s voice came again after a brief silence. “Let them in.”

Cole shifted his weight reluctantly to the side.

“Thank you,” Makenna nodded with a smile as she walked in with Jared.

Cole rolled his eyes and followed them after closing the door.

Amber leaned against the headboard. She was in loose pyjamas and her head was bandaged while her face was pale. She appeared frail and

weak.

When Jared saw her, he became concerned. He asked softly. “How do you feel?”

Amber looked at him with surprise and a wry smile and said, “Jared, are you concerned about me?”

Makenna immediately tightened her grip on Jared’s arms.

This action served as a reminder to Jared that he had an abnormal attitude towards Amber. Jared then pursed his lips and turned his voice cool while saying, “It is very normal to visit and give a proper greeting to a sick person.”

His words implied that he had only greeted her politely and didn’t mean to care.

Makenna let go of Jared’s arm and gave Amber a smug glance after satisfying with Jared’s action.

Cole took a stride to block Makenna before Amber could react. He said to Makenna while making a gouging motion, “If you keep looking at Amber with those disgusting eyes, don’t you believe I will gouge both of your eyes?”

“How dare you!” exclaimed Makenna while biting her lower lips.

Cole said with a smile, “Just wait and see if I dare or not.”

With that, he was about to chase Makenna.

Makenna was so frightened that she turned pale and hid behind Jared. She yanked on the hem of his suit and cried out, “Jared, help me!”

Jared used one hand to hook Makenna backwards and the other to block Cole. He said coldly, “Cole, don’t be too over.”

Cole snorted as if he was listening to a joke, “Mr Farrell, then I also give you a sentence, don’t be too double–standard. You only see what I did to Makenna, but not what Makenna did to Amber. Since you are so blind, why don’t you just donate your eyes?”

Amber couldn’t help but laugh and gave him a thumbs up when she saw all of this on the bed.

Jared knitted his eyebrows deeply and felt uncomfortable with her action.

What did she mean? She also thought that he was blind?

“That’s enough. This is my room and I’m still injured. Just hurriedly tell me why you want and leave. I still need to rest,” Amber said with impatience while yawning.

Jared pursed his lips and said, “We are here to apologize.”

Apologized?

Amber and Cole exchanged glances.

Jared pulled Makenna out from behind and continued, “Makenna accidentally spilled the shower gel on the floor and caused you to fall last night.”

“Ms Reed, I’m so sorry, Makenna apologized as she bowed to her.

Amber looked at her quietly with a cold expression and asked, “Was it really accidental?”

Makenna straightened her back and panicked when she met Amber’s gaze, which seemed to see through one’s heart. She hurriedly lowered her eyes and replied, “It’s truly accidental.”

Cole laughed coldly, “What’s truly accidental? The truth is that you purposefully spilled the shower gel!”

“No, I didn’t! Ms Reed, please believe me, I didn’t!” said Makenna with redden eyes as if she was going to cry.

“Come on, we won’t believe you,” Cole looked at her with disgust and added, “We would also like to know why you didn’t admit you caused Amber’s fall last night when we found her? Why you admit it now instead?”

Makenna’s eyes flickered slightly as she lowered her head and explained, “Because I didn’t realise it was me who caused Amber to fall yesterday. After you took Amber away, I saw the shower gel on the floor and realized I was to blame for her fall. That’s why I am here right now to apologise.”

“That’s true. You had to apologize immediately or else it would be a bad ending,” said Amber coldly.

Makenna was stunned for a while and asked, “What does Ms Reed mean?”

Jared and Cole were both staring at her.

Amber sneered as she swept her gaze across Makenna’s uneasy face. “You know what I mean, don’t you? You knew I would suspect you when I woke up, and you were afraid I would call the police, resulting in the uncontrollable progression of this incident. So, you use accident as your

excuse to conceal the truth.”

“So that’s why you’re all here?” Cole laughed in exasperation and added, “There’s no way to hide the truth!”

Jared, who had remained silent, knew that this would not be an easy matter to deal with. He stepped forward to look at Amber, asking in a deep voice, “Then what do you want?”
