Chapter 30 Miss Reed, Please Come to the Police Station
“Yes. Makayla died on this day…”
When thinking of their eldest daughter who di, Mrs. Gardner trembled when holding the flowers. Finally,
she burst into
tears and cried in agony.
Because it was too hard to bear the death of her eldest daughter, she put all her attention on her
younger daughter. But every year when it came to the anniversary of Makayla’s death, she still felt the
excruciating pain.
“There, there don’t cry.” Trenton hugged her and comforted, “Today is not only the anniversary of
Makayla’s death but also the engagement day of Makenna. If Makayla knew this, she would be happy
for her sister.”
She cried her heart out with gritted teeth, saying, “If it wasn’t for Hugo Reed that bastard, how could
Makayla… How could
she…”
She was choked with the unbearable sorrow.
Trenton also looked gloomy, “The Reed family is gone, with only Amber Reed left.”
Six years ago, he avenged his eldest daughter and forced Hugo Reed to death and ruined the Reed
family. But due to
Amber’s marriage with Jared, he could not lay hands on her.
He didn’t expect that six years later, Amber would get the shares of Goldstone and become the major
shareholder of the
company.
“Amber has nothing but Goldstone and it’s easy for me to deal with her.” Thinking of his late daughter,
he was also heartbroken, and his hatred towards the Reed family grew deeper.
She was a little hesitant and said, “Forget it. After all, she is Jared’s ex–wife. If Jared knows, things
could be difficult for Makenna in the Farrell family.”
He hummed and said, “Don’t you know why Jared chose to marry Amber? He did not love her at all. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Otherwise, how could he watch her family be ruined and let Goldstone go downhill with cold
shoulders?”
“Don’t worry about it. I will handle all these things.” He added, “That tiara was something that Makayla
took a fancy to when she was still alive. Remember to ask Makenna for it when coming back home and
hide it away in case she gives it to others again.”
She nodded and looked at the baby’s breath in her hand sadly.
Amber intended to go to the company to take care of some urgent matters, and then return home to
rest.
As soon as she arrived at the company, Sheila came over and said, “Miss Reed, Mr. Longman from
Wisemas has come here and is chatting with Mr. Lyon in his office.”
Amber sneered, “Okay, I will go over and take a look.”
Last Friday, when they played cards at Red Plum Club, Mr. Longman said he would have someone
bring the contract here the next day, but he broke his promise. She was not stupid and knew he wanted
to play hard–to–get and waited for her to call him personally.

Chapter 30 Miss Reed, Please Come to the Police Station
Luckily with help from Hayden, she had already got a better partner for her company.
She knocked on the door and entered Cole’s office.
Seeing that Cole was chatting with Mr. Longman, she walked in with a smile and greeted, “Hello, Mr.
Longman. It’s been a
long time.”
“Miss Reed, hello.” Mr. Longman stood up and shook hands with her politely.
Noticing that she simply drank tea and did not bring up the subject about the contract, he said first, “I
am sorry, Miss Reed. My business department was too busy these days and did not come over to sign
the contract with you. So I came here
in person to say sorry.”
While saying this, he pushed the contract towards her side and continued, “Read it. If there’s no more
problems, we can
sign the contract.”
Cole frowned and wanted to say something.
She gave him a look and stopped him. Then she said to Mr. Longman, “My secretary said that she
could not get through to your business department. Since our batch of goods were urgent and could
not be delayed, I got another factory to do it
for me.”
“Miss Reed, my company is the best manufacturer at home.” He thought she said this simply to bargain
about the price, so he became a little proud. “You keep saying that you attach great importance to
product quality, but you chose a random factory to do it just because of time limit?”
Amber smiled, “Besides your company, there is another one called Yutoga.”
He got speechless.
“I heard that Yutoga’s orders are scheduled until next year.” He asked in disbelief, “Miss Reed, did you
really sign with
Yutoga?”
Back then at the card table, he just said those polite words to her because of Jared’s presence. But he
did not expect that
she would go to Yutoga.
She was new to the business circle, but how did she get to know the boss of Yutoga?
Could it be that Jared was helping her?
Thinking of how Jared defended her during the game that day, he thought it was likely for Jared to help
her build
connections.
Within a moment or two, Mr. Longman figured out the situation. Then he decided to tell her the truth.
“Miss Reed, in fact, I Tied to you about the long–term client placing more orders. A few days ago, Mr.
Gardner called me and asked me not to take
your order.”
Hearing this, Cole snorted, “I was just wondering why you gave up an opportunity to make money! I
guessed that someone must be targeting Goldstone Co.! Well, it turned out to be true!”
“We have a lot of collaborations with the Gardner Group. And it’s pretty awkward for me to handle this.”
Mr. Longman smiled sheepishly, “But I still want to work with Goldstone. Otherwise, I would not risk
offending Mr. Gardner and come here
today”
She was in urgent need of partners now.
Besides this, there were no enemies in the business world. As long as there were interests, companies
would work
together.
She smiled, “I can see your sincerity, Mr. Longman. But I’ve already signed a contract with Yutoga. But
in the future if I have more demands, I will contact you first.”
Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief. After exchanging a few pleasantries with them, he left.
As soon as he left, Cole asked her, “I tried to contact Yutoga but failed. How did you get in touch with
Yutoga’s boss
successfully?”
She replied, “Hayden Cohen helped me.”
She then told him about her visit to Red Plum Club and how Hayden decided to introduce her to
Yutoga.
Cole finally spoke, “If you had known Hayden would help you, you should’ve taught Mr. Longman a
good lesson at the car table so that they would be scared to play cards with you again!”
She chuckled, “They were quite good at playing cards.”
Back then after she married Jared, she never touched cards again. Over time, except Cole and her
close friends, everyone around her thought she did not know how to play it..
When she chose to play cards with Mr. Longman, it was her first time to touch it after six years.
“Don’t be so modest” He rolled his eyes at her, “We grew up together, of course I know how good you
are at cards! Even your father was defeated by you, let alone others.”
She thought of her father who had committed suicide and suddenly felt a bit sad. “Let’s go. I’ll treat you
to dinner.”
When she got up and put on her coat, her phone rang.
“Hello?” she answered it.
“Is this Miss Reed?” a serious female voice came on the phone. “Your bother is here at our police
station. Please come over here now.”
