Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 286

Thinking about those men, Makenna pinched her phone tightly and squeezed words between her teeth, "You found those men who bullied me. You must give them to me."

She wanted to end their lives in person.

Elias leaned against the back of his seat. "I can't. After you were on the news, those men realized you were not Amber Reed, so they ran away. They were afraid we would avenge."

"What? Ran away?" Makenna exclaimed harshly.

Elias spun the scalpel casually. "Yep. I'm looking for them as well. It's been two days, but I have no clue."

"Shit!" Makenna was furious.

How was she gonna avenge if those men had run away?

However, thinking about Amber, she had an idea.

Since they ran away, Makenna didn't mind venting her anger on Amber.

"Elias, you must keep looking for those men. Keep me updated if you have any clue," Makenna ordered in anger.

Elias pushed his glasses and answered, "Okay."

After finishing the conversation, Makenna put down her phone and tabbed to browse all the social media platforms, reading her news.

Seeing the negative comments and the unkind mockery, she wished to find out all those netizens in real life and kill them.

However, she looked much better after reading the comments in the recent two days.

Those comments were defending her. The netizens believed that she was a victim.

Hence, she decided to stick to being the victim.

As she thought, Makenna dialed a phone number. "Hello, is this Sona Media? This is Makenna Gardner..."

On the other side, Hayden called Amber out. They arrived at a quiet coffee shop.

Amber yawned, looking at him in anger. "What is wrong with you, Hayden? Why did you call me out so late at night? I was going to bed."

Hayden giggled. "I'm sorry, Amber. I do have something to talk to you about."

"What is it?" Amber stirred the milk, picked it up, and took a sip.

Hayden looked solemn. "I let the fake Makayla show up in front of the Gardner couple."

Upon hearing it, Amber paused when drinking the milk.

Soon, she returned to normal and put down the milk. She asked, "How is it going then?"

"Quite smoothly. The Gardner couple is watching Makenna Gardner in the hospital. I let the fake Makayla go there to find them directly. According to my spy, Mrs. Gardner has believed she is the real Makayla. However, Trenton Gardner is still rational. Although he was excited, he insisted on doing the paternity test with her," Hayden took a sip of his coffee and answered.

"It seems the Gardner couple truly love their eldest daughter," Amber said while playing with the straw.

If not, why would Mrs. Gardner be so eager to recognize her daughter?

Even Trenton was excited.

Thinking of that, Amber had a weird feeling, but she couldn't tell what it was.

However, she didn't keep on wondering about it. She suppressed the weir feeling soon.

Hayden answered with a shrug, "Of course, they do. After all, Makayla Gardner is their only biological daughter. Makenna was adopted to comfort Mrs. Gardner."

"To comfort her?" Amber was confused. "What do you mean?"

"I didn't find it out until a few days ago. More than twenty years ago, Mrs. Gardner saw Makayla be drowned in person, and she had a mental disorder. Whenever she saw a baby the same age as Makayla, she thought it was her daughter and wanted to snatch it. Or, she was holding a pillow in her arms every day as if it was her daughter," said Hayden.

Amber widened her eyes in surprise. "For real?"

"Yep." Hayden nodded.

Amber sighed. "Mrs. Gardner doesn't look like a person with mental disorder."

"She's recovered already. More than twenty years ago, to comfort her, Trenton adopted a replacement of Makayla from an orphanage. That was Makenna. To make her look more like Makayla, Trenton put some unique marks on Makenna, such as a birthmark that took after Makayla's," Hayden said while drinking the coffee.

Amber nodded. "I see. Trenton must love his wife a lot."

"They used to be the childhood sweethearts, so they loved each other a lot. However, the most important reason was that, besides Mrs. Gardner, no other woman would want to marry him," said Hayden with a gloating smile.

Amber became interested. "Oh? Is there something wrong with Trenton?"

"Bingo!" Hayden clicked his fingers. "My Amber is such a smart girl."

Amber rolled her eyes at him. "Knock it off. I'm serious. What is it?"

Hayden laughed out. "All right. I'm serious, too."

As he spoke, he coughed to clear his throat and continued, "Trenton has necrospermia. I put a great effort into digging this out. It was already a miracle that Mrs. Gardner could give birth to Makayla for him. Makayla is also his only child in this life. Hence, he purchased a customized necklace for his daughter when she was born."

Upon hearing it, Amber raised her chin in a trance. "No wonder that even though Trenton treasures the Trident Group so much and he knew Makenna wasn't talented in business, he still didn't want another child."

"Isn't it incredible?" Hayden smiled.

Amber hummed. "Indeed. However, it's not important. The most important is if the paternity test you've arranged is reliable."

"No worries. I used some privilege to make it done. Whoever uses the hair of the fake Makayla and the Gardner couple for the test, the result would show they were her parents. Of course, it only worked in all the testing institutes of Olkmore City. It won't work if they do it out of town," Hayden spread out his hands.

After all, the Cohen family's power stayed in Olkmore City.

Also, they couldn't meddle in the businesses in other cities. Otherwise, they would end up like the Garland family.

"That's good, then." Seeing that Hayden was so affirmative, Amber breathed a sigh of relief.

She gathered that it wasn't very likely for them they to go to another city for the paternity test.

They didn't leave the coffee shop until two hours later.

Hayden sent Amber back to Kelsington Bay. "Jayden always wanted to visit you. I'll take him with me next time."

Amber nodded with a smile. "Sure. I also miss Jayden a lot."

A light flashed through Hayden's eyes. "That's a deal, then."

Perfect. He had another excuse to meet her next time.

"Ehn." Amber nodded.

"It's getting late now. Hurry up and go home. I must go now. Good night." Hayden waved his hand, pressed up the car window, and drove away.

Amber stood motionlessly to watch him. When his car vanished in her sight, she turned around to enter the apartment building.

When she turned around, she heard a familiar male voice. "Amber."

Amber stopped her pace and looked in the direction of the voice.

Around ten yards from her, a car's door was opened. Jared got down and strode to her.

Amber frowned.

She didn't expect him to drive such an ordinary car.

No wonder she hadn't noticed him earlier.

Jared stopped in front of her. Looking at her, he asked in a deep tone, "Where have you and Hayden been earlier?"
