Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 356

As for how to cover it up...

Makayla bit her lips.

It was the red mole on Amber's wrist that revealed her identity.

If she could remove the mole, no one would know Amber's real identity.

Thinking of that, Makayla had already made the decision.

The phone rang suddenly.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Makayla took out her phone to see who was calling.

It was Mrs. Gardner. "Mom?"

"Makayla, come back as soon as possible!" came the urgent voice of Mrs. Gardner, as if she was gonna cry the next second.

"What happened?" Makayla straightened up. "Is there something wrong?"

"A few cops came and took Makenna away." Mrs. Gardner burst into tears. "They said she did something illegal during the probationary period. How is this possible? She had been with us all the time. I'm pretty sure she didn't do anything wrong. She must have been set up by those cops!"

Makayla rolled her eyes as she heard of this.

Even a person like her who never had higher education knew that the police wouldn't frame citizens.

How could her mother, a well-educated person, be devoid of the most common knowledge?

But it didn't matter. The important thing was that Makenna was taken away by the police.

So it must be the masterwork of Miss Reed, who asked Makayla to record Makenna's guilty plea and used this as evidence to send Makenna to prison.

Makayla hadn't expected Miss Reed to be so fast and managed to send Makenna in within only half a day.

She tried hard to cover her excitement up and pretended to comfort her mother: "Take it easy, Mom. There may be some misunderstanding. Maybe she's just cooperating with the investigation and will soon be back."

"But I've seen the warrant of arrest, which cannot be issued if she's only involved in the investigation!" Mrs. Gardner's eyes were red with weeping.

She wasn't familiar with the work-flow in the police system, but she indeed knew that following the execution of arrest was imprisonment!

That meant Makenna would not come back.

"Well...this seems serious." Makayla pretended to be worried, but she was actually elated at the result.

"What...what should we do now?" Mrs. Gardner asked in a choked voice.

Makayla rolled her eyes.

What else was there to do? Just let it go!

She expected her to find a way to save her sister?

Though she knew that her mom really meant it, she actually didn't want to save her sister.

But she couldn't speak out what was really in her mind. She closed her eyes for a few seconds to suppress her annoyance before replying, "I don't know what to do either. We'd better let Dad handle this."

"No! We can't involve your dad in!" Mrs. Gardner blurt out in a shrill voice as if she was irritated.

There was a twinkle in Makayla's eyes, and a smile played over her lips.

"Why not?" she asked as if she didn't understand her mother's words.

"Last time, your father made it clear that if Makenna broke the law again during the probationary period, your father would leave her alone, and no longer regard her as his daughter. The Trident Group had a hard time recovering after it almost went bankrupt last time because of what Makenna did. If the news of her breaking the law again comes out, the Group will be in turmoil once again and then..."

"Then what?" The upward curvature of the corners of Makayla's mouth went deeper.

"Then your father will have no prestige in the Group and his shares will be diluted because of the financing. By then, the Trident Group will no longer belong to our family," sobbed Mrs. Gardner.

"I see. In that case, I guess we have to hide it from Dad." Makayla nodded to show her understanding.

In fact, she had known for a long time that Dad wouldn't help Makenna this time because she overheard Dad's conversation by chance last time. That was why she was totally without scruple to ask her mom to tell Dad for she was pretty sure her mom wouldn't let Dad know and even if she did, Dad was not going to take out the helping hand.

She was just passing the buck to her father so that her mother wouldn't count on her to solve this.

"Makayla..." Mrs. Gardner still wanted to say something before Makayla interrupted her: "Mom, don't worry. I'll be back later and we then continue the talk. I'm on my way now and feel a little dizzy."

"Okay. Bye. Take care of yourself. Have a rest in the car." Mrs. Gardner immediately swallowed all the words she was about to say as soon as she heard that Makayla was not feeling well.

Makayla hung up the phone after a simple reply. With eyelids lowered, she was considering something.

At the police station.

After hanging up the phone with Cole, Amber heard several footsteps behind her.

Looking around, she saw Makenna was brought in by several police officers.

Good!

Fixing her eyes on Makenna, Amber smiled.

Sat in a wheelchair, Makenna kept her head down, hiding her expressions.

Amber had no idea whether she was scared or flustered at the moment, which was really a pity.

Noticing the gaze settled on her, Makenna raised her head to see Amber in front of her.

Amber couldn't find any sign of fear or panic in Makenna's face. Instead, she was pretty calm, even without hatred and anger.

Calm as if she was not someone who knew she was going to jail.

Her abnormality made Amber frown.

Even Ben beside her couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Makenna was soon taken away into the interrogation room.

Apart from the eye contact, they did not say a word during this period.

They seemed more like strangers, not enemies.

"There's something wrong with her!" sounded the voice of Ben.

Amber nodded: "Yes, it doesn't seem right. It's not like the reaction she should have."

In her view, Makenna was that kind of person who would only rush up to tear her apart out of hatred, instead of being such quiet.

"How about I try to find out why she's acting like this?" said Ben, who was looking at Amber.

Amber waved her hand and said: "No need to bother. I'm not interested in her reaction, as long as she is sure to go to jail. Well, I'm going back. You can go back too."

"All right." Ben nodded.

Amber walked out of the station.

There was nothing of her concern now. Just let the police handle the rest.

She just needed to wait for the result.

Amber called a taxi and headed for Goldstone Co.

She came across Cole as soon as she got off the cab.

"Darling!" Cole greeted her while carrying a bag in his hand.

Amber smiled: "Have you brought that?"

"Of course. But what do you need this for?" Cole passed the bag over to her.

"I'll give it back to Jared," Amber answered as she walked towards the gate of the company.

"What?" Stunned by what he had heard, Cole raised his voice: "You are gonna return the Corazón Azul to Jared?"

"Yes, you heard it right," Amber nodded.

Cole stopped her and asked: "Why do you want to give it back to him? We had a hard time getting it. If you are to return it, why did you want it in the first place?"

Amber replied with her eyes blinked: "Well, taking away Corazón Azul was only to teach Makenna a lesson because she slandered me for hitting her six years ago. Without Corazón Azul, her engagement ceremony was also put aside. But things are different now."

"What's the difference?" Cole frowned.

Amber looked at him and said: "She is going to jail and Jared helped me on this. I want to pay back this favor."

Even if she returned this favor, she still owed him a few other favors though.

But she still had to repay him little by little.lightnoveldaily.com
