Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)

Chapter 397 All Lies

The Gardner couple left home quickly, rushing to the police station.

Shortly after, they met Makayla.

Mrs. Gardner hugged Makayla and wept sadly. "You bad girl! I'm so scared. Do you know how worried I

was when hearing you were arrested in the police station?" All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

While she cried, she hit Makayla's back.

Makayla could feel Mrs. Gardner's nervousness and worry from the bottom of her heart. She raised her

arms and hugged Mrs. Gardner. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mom."

She wondered if this was the unreserved love from a mother to her children.

Finally, she felt it. It was beautiful, warm, and dear.

Hence, she couldn't be blamed for longing to be Makayla Gardner all the time.

Trenton didn't show his emotion so openly as Mrs. Gardner did, but he looked at Makayla with

concerns. "Did you get hurt?"

Makayla knew he wondered if she got injured when attacking Amber.

Makayla shook her head and answered happily, "No, I didn't."

"That's good, then." Trenton breathed a sigh of relief. He put on a solemn look and said, "Tell me. Why

did you attack Amber Reed? Haven't you seen how your sister ended up like?"

He had already planned to avoid Amber for the time being because he finally saved The Trident Group

and the Gardner family. He couldn't have the energy to be against her yet.

Much to his surprise, Makayla stupidly attacked Amber.

He didn't care if she had done so, but she failed and was sent to the police station by Amber.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't want to do it. I just saw Mom be sad about my sister, so I wanted to do

something for Mom and my sister," Makayla lowered her head and said, her voice becoming lower and

lower.

Mrs. Gardner was taken aback. "So, Makayla, did you do that for me..."

Makayla nodded slightly.

Mrs. Gardner was so touched that she hugged Makayla again. "My dear Makayla..."

Trenton was irritated by Mrs. Gardner's weep. In a hurry, he stopped her, "Stop it. Stop crying."

Mrs. Gardner sniffed and stopped weeping.

Trenton looked back at Makayla. "I can understand you've done it for your mother. You were just way

too reckless."

"I know. I'm sorry, Dad," Makayla apologized. Her eyes twinkled.

Trenton heaved a sigh. "Forget it. You've already done it. It's useless to scold you now. Tell me. How

was Amber Reed's injury? I'll see how to rescue you."

"Ms. Reed wasn't injured seriously. Her head was wounded," answered Makayla.

She knew her parents would definitely rescue her.

Hence, she didn't panic after admitting that she had attacked Amber.

She knew she was the only child of the Gardner family.

If Ms. Reed and Mr. Cohen wanted to expose her real identity...

Thinking about her secret weapon, Makayla curled up her lips into a smile.

"Her head was wounded. It seems not serious. It shouldn't be a criminal case. You will only have the

administrative detention for a few days at the most," Trenton said, squinting.

Makayla's eyes lit up. She hurriedly asked, "Dad, did you mean I wouldn't go to jail?"

Mrs. Gardner wouldn't want her daughter to go to jail, so she instantly answered, "Of course not. As

your father said, it's not a criminal case. You won't go to jail for that."

Makayla trembled with excitement.

Great!

Although she knew her parents would definitely rescue her, she didn't expect that she wouldn't need to

go to jail.

"You two stay here. I'll ask the police about the bail," Trenton said to his wife.

Mrs. Gardner nodded. "Sure. Come back soon."

Trenton hummed and walked out of the interrogation room.

Almost twenty minutes later, he came back, looking annoyed.

Seeing that, Mrs. Gardner and Makayla felt uneasy.

"How did it go, Honey? Can we bail her out?" Mrs. Gardner immediately asked.

Makayla also gazed at Trenton.

The latter rubbed his temples. "Yes, we can, but Amber must sign on the letter of understanding.

Otherwise, Makayla needs to be detained."

"Let's go to see that woman, then," Mrs. Gardner immediately said.

Makayla, however, stooped her. "No, Mom!"

Trenton and his wife looked over at her. "Why not?"

Makayla looked down. She dared not to look into their eyes, afraid the expression in them would be

exposed to them.

She couldn't let her parents go find Amber now.

If Amber told her parents about the red mole, it would be troublesome.

"Because Ms. Reed won't agree. She hates our family so much. Of course, she won't agree to sign the

letter of understanding. She will humiliate you two. I don't want you to be humiliated by her. Dad, Mom,

don't go to her. I'd rather be detained. Anyway, I will be set free soon," Makayla looked at them and

said with a smile. She seemed quite considerate of them.

Trenton and his wife felt warm.

Sure enough, their biological daughter was the best.

If it were Makenna, she wouldn't be like this. Instead, she would urge them to find Amber to sign the

letter of understanding.

"Makayla, are you really willing to be detained?" Trenton looked at her and asked seriously.

Makayla nodded hard. "Yes, Mom, Dad. Don't go to her. Ms. Reed might be waiting for you to find her,

so she could humiliate you. We can't step into her trap and make her wish come true."

"Trenton, I agree with Makayla," said Mrs. Gardner after a thought.

Trenton also believed what Makayla said made sense. He sighed and said, "All right. Please don't

worry, Makayla. I'll ask the police station to shorten the detention period."

"Okay. Thanks, Dad." Makayla smiled happily.

Although the detention wasn't a pleasant experience, she was willing to tolerate it for the future.

Trenton and his wife went to talk to the policemen.

Shortly after, Amber received a call from the police. It was about Makayla's punishment.

"Okay, I got it. Thanks for informing me," Amber slightly nodded to answer the police and hung up the

phone.

Hayden noticed that she looked a bit annoyed, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"The police informed me about Judy Lashley's punishment. She'll be detained for fifteen days," Amber

answered.

"Only fifteen days? That's light," Stella frowned and said while munching an apple.

Amber pressed her lips.

She was unhappy because it was too light.

She had asked the lawyer and learned that Judy wouldn't be put in jail because of attacking her, as her

injury was minor injury level II. Hence, Judy would be detained for at least twenty days.

However, she didn't expect Judy to be detained for only fifteen.

"It's not enough indeed. Should I talk to the police?" Hayden said, narrowing his eyes.

Amber shook her head. "Forget it. If you talk to the police, your opponent will catch you on it. Well, let it

be. For Judy Lashley, the most severe punishment isn't to be detained but to take away everything she

has had."

Hayden smiled. "I agree. When shall we tell the truth to the Gardner family?"

"We can do it now, but we can't tell them in person. Otherwise, the Gardner family would know we had

sent Judy Lashley as a spy to their family. Once they know it, our reputations will be impacted. You'll

drag the Cohen family into trouble. I'll also cause trouble to Goldstone," said Amber with a stern look.

Besides the dishonesty and scheming ones, spies were hated the most on the business battlefield.

If others in the business circle knew she and Hayden had sent in a spy, they would suspect if they had

spies in their companies. In that case, others would isolate Amber and Hayden.

For them, that would be a fatal blow.
