Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90 It Must Be Makenna’s Doing

Jared pressed his own shoulder and said, “I am fine.”

“Really? Logan was still a bit uneasy.

Jared nodded, “Yes.”

“That’s good.” Logan breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to Amber, “What about you, Amber?”

“I am fine too.” She shook her head.

She was well protected by Jared and did not get hurt at all.

After making sure that both of them were okay, Logan turned his head and looked at the players of Country K furiously and shouted, “Bastards! They could not beat me so they used such despicable tricks! I will teach them a

good lesson!”

He went back to the court with his fists clenched in anger, wanting to fight with those players of the other team.

But his teammates pulled him and stopped him from doing so.

If they really got into a fight, both parties would be banned from this game.

“Are you really okay?” Amber had heard Jared’s painful grunt, so she did not believe his words like Logan did.

Jared also knew he could not fool her, so he simply said, “I was hit by the ball on the shoulder. It’s nothing

serious.”

“Is that so?” Her eyelashes fluttered and she did not know what to say.

After two seconds, she forced herself to calm down and looked at him in the eyes, asking, “Why did you just save

me? Obviously, you could have left me alone, couldn’t you?”

He lowered his eyes and hid the feelings and replied in a light voice, “That person smashed the basketball

because he could not defeat Logan and got angry. And Logan looked at us many times, so that person guessed that

we were Logan’s close friends or families. To get back at Logan, he threw the ball towards us.”

“So that is how it is.” She frowned.

Why was the other team so mean?

How could they throw their tantrums at audiences when they felt unhappy during the game?

He added, “It’s because of Logan that the basketball almost hit you. If you were truly hurt by the ball, Logan would be guilty. As his big brother, I have the obligation to help him prevent this kind of thing.”

“I got it.” She forced a smile and found herself ridiculous.

It turned out that he did this for Logan. How could she believe that he did this just for her?

All of a sudden, the spark of hope in her heart was snuffed out again.

At this time, the manager came over with two staff members and said to them apologetically, “I am really sorry. Are you both alright?”

Amber pointed at Jared and said, “He got injured on his shoulder, so please find a doctor for him.”

The manager nodded and said, “Of course. Then please come with us to the lounge.”

“Okay,” Amber agreed.

Anyway, Jared was injured because of saving her.

She was obligated to accompany him to the doctor.

She stood up with her crutches.

Jared extended his hands towards her and said, “Let me help you!”

She glanced at his hand and refused, “No. I can do it myself.”

After that, she walked forward first.

Though it was hard for her to walk, she still rejected him. Jared pursed his lips.

Finally, he suppressed the feelings of irritation in his heart and followed her over.

In the lounge, he took off his suit and shirt, revealing his sturdy upper body and allowing the doctor to apply the

medicine.

She sat opposite him on a sofa, staring at his shoulder directly. It was red and swollen now. So that ball must

have hit him quite hard.

If he had not blocked the ball her, maybe her teeth would have been knocked off.

Thinking of this, she felt a bit afraid. Looking at his shoulder, she felt guiltier.

“Mr. Farrell…”

Just as she was about to say something, his phone rang and interrupted her words.

He took out his phone and saw the caller ID. He answered it with soft voice, “Makenna.”

“Jared, are you okay?” Makenna’s worried cries came from the phone.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, “You know about it?”

“Well, I saw the live stream. Jared, are you hurt?” she asked.

He felt a bit warm in his heart and replied in a gentler voice, “No. So don’t worry.”

“That’s great.” She nodded with tears of joy and then said, “Jared, since Logan’s game is almost over, what about I

come to you now?”

“Okay.” He agreed.

The call ended and he put down his phone, looking at Amber. “What did you just want to say?”

“Nothing.” She shook her head.

She originally wanted to invite him for a meal to repay for his kindness.

But when she heard that Makenna was coming over, she thought it was better for her not to do so. If Makenna

misunderstood her, she might do other terrible things.

Seeing that she did not want to say anything, he did not insist on asking. The whole lounge became quiet.

Suddenly she thought of something and hurriedly took out her phone.

She missed Cole’s phone call just now and she wondered what he wanted.

So she called him back.

He soon answered it, “Honey, big stuff!”

Hearing his anxious voice, she also became serious. “What is wrong?”

When Jared heard her words, he endured the pain on his should and turned to look at her.

“When you and Jared watched the game in the stadium, you appeared on someone’s live stream. Some people said bad things about you at Twitter. They said you are pestering your ex–husband after a divorce and that you disrupted Jared and Makenna’s relationship six years ago. What was worse, they said you forced Jared into marriage when Makenna had a car accident. Now people were condemning you online!” He quickly told her

everything.

She got shocked with her pupils tightened. “How could this happen?”

“What’s wrong?” noticing her pale face, Jared got serious and asked with unnoticeable concern.

She ignored him and asked on the phone, “Who did it?”

“I don’t know yet. But I am investigating in it. I suspect that it must be related to Makenna,” he replied.

After all, only a few people knew what happened six years ago. And only someone who had a grudge against Amber would deliberately distort the truth to discredit her.

In fact, only the Gardner families knew about this matter and had a grudge against Amber, so this matter must be Makenna’s doing or her family’s doing.

Amber also thought about it and tightened her grip on the phone. “I got it.”

“Honey, do we need to…” he said.

She took a deep breath and said, “Wait until I come back.”

“Okay.” He then thought of something and hurriedly reminded, “Honey, this thing is big, and many media must. have gone to the stadium to look for you. So remember not to exit from the front door.”

“Okay,” she replied.

After hanging up, she clicked into Twitter and read a punch of nasty comments. Feeling incensed and bummed

out, she trembled all over.

“What is wrong exactly?” Seeing that she almost broke her lips, he asked again with worries.

She sneered at him and said, “What else could it be? Your fiancée saw us sitting together from the live stream

and then went crazy and jealous and spread rumors about me online.”

“Impossible!” He denied her words directly with pursed lips.

“Impossible?” She clenched her fist and then handed him her phone. “This is what you call impossible.”

He browsed that post on Twitter and those terrible comments below with his brows knitted tightly. “This could be

someone else’s doing.”

Makenna had promised him that she would never target Amber again.

He believed in her.

“Tell me, if it wasn’t her, who would know about what happened six years ago?” Amber took her phone back and said, “I only know one person who can’t get along with me is Makenna. She is the most suspicious on the matter!”
