Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 48

Amber pretended to be asleep to avoid the conversation with Hayden.

As they were reaching Edgeworth School in the Olkmore City, Amber took out her phone, and she wanted to ask about Logan's whereabouts. But the news app notified her of the business news.

The news was about that the two executives from the two branch offices of the Gardner's corporation ran away with a hundred million dollars. Trenton passed out in rage because of this incident.

The following images were of Trenton, who fainted and was taken to the hospital.

Were Trenton's funds transferred away?

This was excellent!

Amber applauded the business news, and she even wanted to thank the two executives who ran away with Trenton's money.

She had been gathering evidence to clear her father's name since she discovered that the Reed family's bankruptcy was related to Trenton. However, she couldn't find any clues about it.

She was overjoyed when she saw Trenton being carried into the hospital!

Hayden parked the car when they arrived at the entrance of Edgeworth School. He unfastened his seat belt and asked Amber, "Why do you want to come here? I remembered that your family had few relatives to deal with after the bankruptcy of the Reed family."

Amber glanced at him and responded, "You cared about me so much that you checked all my information, Mr. Cohen?"

"We have collaboration. It's normal for me to check on you for the sake of my benefit," Hayden sneered and continued, "You think that I had a crush on you, Ms. Reed?"

"…"

"It's fine for you to think like that," Hayden stroked his chin and continued, "I'd like to try on a divorced woman who happens to be my mate's ex-wife, to see what the difference is from other women."

Amber felt that Cole was far better than Hayden.

Amber ignored Hayden's words. She approached the security guard at the school entrance, mentioned Logan's name, and she wrote "parent" in the "relationship" column on the registration form.

At this moment, her phone vibrated, and it was a new text message. A sum of money was deposited into her bank account.

Amber was stunned as she counted the numbers in the text message.

Was it twenty million dollars?

Was it a company that erroneously paid a project payment to a third party?

While Amber was in shock, she received a message from Jeremy.

Jeremy sent Amber a message: Amber, I had recently earned some money from a few jobs. I don't need the money for now, so you just take it in case the company runs out of cash.

Amber replied: You've only been in Bourbon for a short time, right? What kind of jobs are you working for to have such high wages?

When Jeremy accompanied her to the Goldstone Co. previously, he used a gentle tone to subdue those shareholders who were difficult to be dealt with. Also, Amber recalled the scene in which the mall manager had a respectful attitude towards Jeremy when they went to the mall together.

Amber then remembered what Cole had said to her before, and she started to doubt Jeremy as well.

Was he just a model?

Amber texted Jeremy again without waiting for his reply: The executive from the two branch offices of the Gardner's corporation ran away with the fund of a hundred million dollars. Was this related to you, Jeremy?

After a few seconds, Jeremy replied to her message: Trenton's money was swept away by his executive? That's so pity.

Jeremy replied: I'm just a model. I don't know anything about business. And how would I know the executives of those branch offices? I can't be that capable of letting them run away with Trenton's a hundred million dollars, how absurd?

Then, Jeremy sent Amber a screenshot of the contract.

Jeremy sent another message: This is my contract with the C company, Amber. Look at the amount. Is it consistent with the amount I transferred to you?

Amber felt relieved after looking at the contract, and she realized that she had gone too far.

Amber texted: Please accept my apologies, Jeremy. You were so concerned about me and Goldstone, yet I suspected that you had done something illegal. It was my fault.

Jeremy replied: It's okay, Amber. I won't be able to return to Olkmore City for the New Year. Remember to take good care of yourself.

Amber texted: Sure, you should take care of yourself as well.

"This male model seemed to care much about you. He transferred money to you by the millions," Hayden said and continued, "He's young and considerate. He seemed like the best candidate to be your second husband."

"He's like my little brother," Amber said as she closed the chatbox and gave him a disapproving look for his snooping action, "These are the money he spent to buy shares of Goldstone."

She couldn't accept Jeremy's money for nothing, and she would give him a part of the shares later.

"He is quite clever in knowing how to maximize his benefits with the close relationship," Hayden tsked, and he continued, "How about selling some stocks to me as well, Ms. Reed?"

Amber ignored his words, and she turned to leave after inquiring the location of the basketball court with security.

The national team coach had signed up several students in the basketball court, and he conversed with their parents since 10 am.

Logan's parents were the only ones who were late.

The coach looked at the time and approached Logan, "Logan Farrell, I've given you an extra half an hour. Why aren't your parents here?"

Logan looked outside the basketball court without saying anything.

He had been calling Amber since the morning, but she kept hanging up. It seemed that she wouldn't come to help him as she didn't show up until now.

"You're talented, and I do value you. But I'd also like to talk to your parents," The coach patted Logan's shoulder with a regretful look and continued, "There's nothing I can do if your parents don't agree with you playing basketball."

Logan clenched his fists tightly and responded in a low voice, "Could you wait a little longer? I'll make another call."

"The coach gave you an extra hour, Logan. It was clear that your family members didn't support you to play basketball as they did not show up," One of the boys said, and he continued, "I think you'd better not waste the coach's time. Let them go back to rest!"

There were several other boys who stood beside Logan, who had signed their tryout contract, and they all had smug smiles on their faces.

"…" Logan glared at him.

"Why are you glaring at me? Did I hurt your feelings?" The boy who spoke had a playful expression on his face, and he mocked Logan, "Hey! What's the point of being the young master of the Farrell family? You're still dependent on your family, and you can't even play basketball."

The boy who spoke shook his head as he said, "You're so pitiful and pathetic."

The boys who stood beside him smothered in laughter.

"Don't you dare to say it again!" Logan yelled at the boy, and he angrily intended to rush up to him and have a fight with them.

"Hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to fight my kid?" The boy's mother said as she stopped in front of Logan. She crossed her arms and glared at Logan, "Don't think I'll be afraid of you just because you're one of the Farrells, little brat. You'll see the consequences if you dare to touch my son!"

The coach hurriedly rushed up to stop Logan and explained, "Well, since the contract has been signed, you boys and the parents…"

"I think you're the poor one, little boy," a cold female voice interrupted.

The students and the parents on the basketball court looked towards the entrance, where a tall woman in a black coat entered. She had a gentle temperament, and a handsome young man trailed behind her.

Logan's eyes lit up when he saw that Amber had arrived. But he became nervous when he noticed Hayden standing behind her.

Did Amber tell his brother about this incident?

Was Hayden here to arrest him?

The mother of the boy who spoke just now raised her eyebrows and glared at Amber, "Who did you just call pathetic?"

"I'm talking about you and your son," Amber stood in front of the woman and spoke with a faint smile, "Of course it is useful for my brother to be the young master of the Farrell family. He had millions of assets to squander, and he doesn't have to do anything on his own."

Amber raised her chin and asked the boy who spoke just now, "Have you ever sat in a helicopter, boy?"

The boy shook his head subconsciously and responded, "No…"

"So pathetic of you that you've never sat in a helicopter before," Amber shook her head and continued, "Oh yeah, your parents are workers and don't have much money. So, you certainly don't understand the concept of enjoyment as you will have to continue working for others in the future."
