Chapter 98 Chloe’s Arrest
“What should I do, Makenna? Amber has threatened to sue me,” Chloe cried.
Amber’s actions surprised Makenna as well. “Calm down, calm down,” she said to Chloe.
“How should I calm down? If she sues me, I’ll have a criminal record, and everyone will laugh at me,”
she said
nervously.
A lady with a criminal record would never be accepted by a wealthy family as a wife. If she failed to
marry into a wealthy family and help with her family’s business, her father would find her useless and
bring his illegitimate
daughter into the family to replace her.
The more she thought about it, the more feared she became. “You have to help me, Makenna, I did
everything for
you,” she said, clutching her phone tightly.
Did she? Makenna bit her bottom lip, irritated. She only hinted Chloe to prank Amber, but she didn’t tell
her how to
do it.
Despite unwilling to, her lips said otherwise, “I know, I will help you,”
“Oh yeah, you said to seek help from Mr. Farrell last time; I’m sure he’ll help if you ask, and Amber is
no match for
him,” Chloe sighed in relief.
“That’s correct, but Jared rejected me the last time I asked, and if I ask again…”
“Please ask him again. He loves you, he will listen to you,” Chloe cut her off before she could say no.
Makenna was upset, but she didn’t show it, “But…”
“You promised to help, Makenna,” Chloe interrupted her once more.
Makenna was on the verge of losing her patient. “Alright, I’ll try again,” she said.
“Thank you, Makenna,” Chloe said before hanging up the phone.
Following their conversation, Makenna went to the Farrell Group.
“Mr. Farrell, Ms. Gardner has come to see you,” Ben went into Jared’s office and informed him of
Makenna’s
presence.
“Let her in,” Jared said, looking up from his work.
“Yes,” Ben said, inviting Makenna into Jared’s office.
“Did you smoke, Jared?” Makenna asked, frowning when she smelled cigarette smoke the moment she
stepped inside.
“Yes, one bud,” he said, nodding.
“Why did you smoke? I hate the smell of cigarettes,” she said, fanning the air in front of her.
“Really? I had no idea you dislike the smell of cigarettes. Tonce asked in the letter whether you mind
me smoking, and you said no You even suggested a mint flavor cigarette to me, which was the one I
smoked just now,” Jared
said, looking at her skeptically.
Makenna’s heart throbbed and she hid it with a smile, “I didn’t mind, but after six years in a coma, I
can’t stand the
smell of cigarettes anymore.”
Jared accepted her explanation without suspicion.
Makenna sighed inwardly, relieved that Jared believed what she said. She now wished she hadn’t
burned all the
letters before reading them. But there was nothing she could do now.
“Try to quit smoking. It’s bad for your health,” she said quickly, changing the subject.
“All right,” Jared said, nodding.
“You are the best, Jared,” Makenna said, clutching his arm.
Best? Jared looked down as he remembered Amber’s words from the conference.
He had been mistreating her for six years because of his skepticism. Was he the best?
He was slightly irritated by this and pulled his arm free from Makenna’s grasp. “Makenna, why did you
tell Amber I
was just your friend six years ago?” He asked coldly.
He would not have treated Amber the way he did if she had told the truth.
Like what Amber said, she wouldn’t have asked to marry him if she knew he was Makenna’s boyfriend.
However, Jared became slightly depressed when he thought about the possibility that Amber did not
want to
marry him.
“I’m sorry Jared, I was young and mom and dad forbade me from involving in a romantic relationship
while at school, so I lied to everyone,” Makenna said as Jared questioned her.
“Go ahead and scold me,” she said, looking down, pulling his sleeves.
“Let’s forget about the past, Jared said, his heart softening as he saw her pitiful face.
“You are not upset are you, Jared?” Makenna raised her head, her eyes twinkling as she looked at him.
“Hmm,” Jared nodded, his lips pressed together.
Makenna hugged him and sunk into vile thought behind Jared.
Her parents were not the reason she lied; rather, they were overjoyed and hoped Jared and her would
tie the knot soon. She lied to Amber solely to embarrass her.
Her evil plan at the time was to reveal that Jared was her boyfriend when Amber confessed her love to
him and
thus shamed her, but an accident occurred before her little plan could be carried out.
Makenna hated the driver who had hit her; Jared and she were already married, and Amber would
have been forever if it hadn’t been for that accident.
“What brings you here, Makenna?” Jared inquired as he gently pushed her away.
gone
“Amber wants to sue Chloe, do you think you could help?” Makenna was pulled back from her
thoughts. She bit her lip and asked.
Jared’s face darkened as he realized why she was here. “I told you I wasn’t going to help, even though
she- claimed she did everything for you, but what she did is wrong, and she deserves to be punished.”
“I know, I’m just sad knowing what she’s going through,” she sighed.
“Don’t worry, she didn’t commit any serious crime; she might be detained for a few days, that’s all,”
Jared said as he brushed Makenna’s hair.
Makenna nodded, “Yes, I hope she learned her lesson and will no longer act recklessly.”
Jared was determined not to help this time and she couldn’t stop Amber on her own.
It appeared that Chloe would be detained; all she could do now was wait until she served her sentence
and then coaxed her when she was out of the prison.
“I’ll go to the restroom,” she said.
“All right.”
Makenna called Chloe while in the bathroom; the call was answered immediately because Chloe had
been
waiting for her news.
“How are things going? Did Mr. Farrell agree to help?” Chloe inquired, hopeful.
“No, I’m sorry Chloe, I tried my hardest,” Makenna said, shaking her head.
“What…” The news shocked Chloe to the core, and she nearly collapsed.
If Jared refused to help her, who else could?
“Chloe…” Makenna’s conversation was cut short when someone knocked on Chloe’s door.
“Who is at the door?” Exclaimed Chloe, lowering her phone.
“Maintenance,” someone replied from behind the closed door.
Makenna went to open the door without suspicion and was met by two cops.
Shit! She knew they were coming to arrest her, so she slammed the door shut in terror.
However, the cops were quick to respond and blocked the door while one of them displayed his ID.
“Hello, Ms. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Mendez. A Ms. Reed accuses you of slandering: please follow us to the station.”
“No! I’m not going with you!” Chloe screamed as she stumbled backward.
“If you refuse to go with us, we will charge you with resisting arrest, which is a separate charge from
defamation,” the cop stated sternly.
Chloe was terrified and brought back the phone to her ear, “Makenna, the police are here to arrest me,
help me, save me!”
Makenna did not respond, and when Chloe looked at the phone, she realized Makenna had already
hung up. She couldn’t believe what was happening and fell sitting on the ground.
The cops exchanged a look before they took her away.
