Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 72

"You'll find out soon." Amber gave a frigid grin.

Rapid footsteps from the elevator were soon heard, and four security guards stood before their eyes.

Logan understood the gravity of the situation at this point and took a step back behind the door to make a phone call.

Amber watched his actions and knew who he was calling, but instead of stopping him, she directed the guards, "This lady here smashed my door, my phone, and my belongings," she said, pointing to Shonna, "I feel intimidated by her aggressive conduct, please have her locked up."

"Little floozie, how dare you! You…” Shonna shrieked angrily at Amber.

"As you can see, she's insulting me; please put her in jail right now!" Amber interrupted Shonna.

"Yes, Ms. Reed," four of them said in unison, arresting Shonna and taking her to the elevator.

"Mom!” Logan was panicked as he saw the guards take Shonna away and his call went unanswered.

Shonna was unable to free herself from the guards, so she turned to glare at Amber while cursing her way out.

Amber couldn't believe a lady from such a privileged family could swear and act so shrewishly.

As the elevator door closed, Shonna's voice faded away.

"Why did you do that?" Logan questioned angrily as he hung up the unanswered call.

"What did I do?" As she rested against the door frame, Amber asked lazily.

"You let them take my mom away," Logan gripped his phone firmly.

"Didn't she ask for it?" Said Amber. "I said it just now. I feel intimidated by her aggressiveness in smashing my door, and this alone is more than enough to have her locked up. And not only that, but she also destroyed my phone and cursed me!" Amber added, her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"I suppose you heard how she cursed me using such harsh and filthy language just now, am I wrong to have her sent away?" Amber said, pointing to Logan's ear. "If someone spoke such things to you, you'd do the same!"

"I…” Logan was speechless and could only stare at the ground.

Yes, he would have responded in the same way if someone had acted in the same manner against him; in fact, he might have beaten them until they stopped talking.

"Don't expect people to treat you with respect if you don't treat others the same way," Amber scoffed as she stared at Logan's helpless expression.

Logan's face was flushed with rage, "I didn't," he said emphatically.

Amber slammed the door in his face when she went in.

"Hey…” Logan's phone rang just as he was about to stop her, and he was glad to see it was Jared. "Why didn't you pick up just now?"

"Are you asking for money?" Jared asked, after hearing Logan's somewhat panicked tone. Having turned on the speaker and left his phone aside, he continued to work on his computer.

"Is money the only reason I'll ever contact you?" Logan said, frowning.

"Isn't it?"

Logan was speechless.

"Alright, I call most of the time to aski for money, but not this time, something happened," he added as he glimpsed at Amber's door.

"What happened?"

"Mom has been arrested."

"What? Tell me everything," Jared said, his eyes narrowed.

Logan told him the whole incident word by word, "So Amber had the security to take mom away.”

As he listened, Jared grimaced even more. "All right, I'll go to the police right away, and is she alright?" He asked coldly.

"Who?" For a brief while, Logan was perplexed.

"Amber.” As he pressed his lips together, Jared muttered.

"Oh, she's good, but why did you ask?" Logan was enthralled.

"You mentioned mom was aggressive just now, and if Amber's hurt, we'll need her forgiveness to bail mom out, which is why I'm asking," Jared explained, a little hesitantly.

"Ah, I see." Logan looked to the door, unconcerned, and said, "Don't worry, she's alright. She managed to avoid mom's attack."

"All well, then," Jared felt a weight lifted from his heart, despite the fact that he had no idea why.

Jared then donned his black cloak and left the office, heading for the station.

Shonna was bailed out since no one was hurt, but they paid a significant sum of fines.

"You are finally out," Logan said as he spotted them coming out of the station.

"How dare that whore put me in such a dreadful situation and humiliate me; I'll take my vengeance shortly!" Shonna became enraged and expressed her displeasure.

Whore? Hearing that, Jared's face fell; he hadn't realized that was how Shonna had been addressing Amber all along, and a sliver of rage erupted inside him.

"Mom, why didn't you listen when I told you not to bother Amber last time?" He said, somewhat enraged, casting a glance at Shonna.

"And you! Why didn't you stop her?" Jared said to Logan.

"I tried, but failed. What should I do? Mom raced to Amber after learning that she was engaged in Makenna's kidnapping." Logan grumbled, his lips pursed.

"I did it because Makenna told me in the morning that the kidnapper is one of Amber's admirers, so I figured that ugly slut must be the mastermind of this kidnapping," Shonna complained.

"Yes, the kidnapper is Amber's admirer, but she has nothing to do with the kidnapping," Jared said, irritated by Shonna's words. He trusted his gut and believed Amber had nothing to do with it.

"I feel the same way," Logan said with a nod.

"Which side are you on?" Shonna said, pulling Logan's ear. "Why are you defending that ugly slut?"

Even Jared was taken aback when he heard Logan defended Amber, because he knew how much Logan despised her and had not expected such an anomaly from him.

"Mom, let go, it hurt!" Logan was on the verge of collapsing from pain.

"Keep in mind that only Makenna could be your sister-in-law, and never defend that whore again!" Shonna said as she let go knowing he was in anguish.

"All right," Logan grudgingly agreed.

As he rubbed his glabella and opened the car door, Jared muttered, "That's enough, let's go back."

After sending them back to the Farrell Mansion, Jared left. On his way, he hesitated but called Amber.

He phoned her for the first time since their divorce.

Within seconds, his call was answered.

"Hello? Who is this?" Amber answered gently.
