Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 13

On the way back, Amber was still a little muddled. What Noemi had said about the wages for recording really persuaded her. Noemi also said that if the ratings were good, there would be more rewards. If so, wouldn’t she become rich then?

It sounds a little pathetic to think that having several ten thousand dollars had something to do with being rich, but it was truly a great news for Amber.

Now that her uncle was sick, she had to be ready with a hefty amount of money. Having just been fired, she had lost her livelihood. If being a guest on this reality show could really make her money, she must take it up.

The car stopped at Amber’s apartment and she hurriedly got out of the car with all the documents. As she reached the entrance, someone was blocking there. It was Elliot, with both hands in his pockets, smiling at her like a rogue.

“Amber! I’ve been waiting for you for such a long time!”

“What for?” Amber was annoyed.

She wasn’t wearing the pair of black frame glasses and her eyes were luminous. The way she spoke wasn’t as slow and soft as before. She was acting like a completely different person. This greatly delighted Elliot’s heart and he shyly said, “I have something to tell you. Come with me.”

As he spoke, he reached out to pull Amber, but she jumped in fright and instinctively flung off his hand. “Elliot Thomson, what the hell do you want?”

Elliot immediately grabbed her hand again. “I really have something to tell you!”

“I don’t want to listen. Elliot Thomson, let go of me!”

“No, I won’t!” Elliot’s temper flared up and he dragged Amber away regardless.

Amber raised her hand in anger, targeting his face. Since he had been slapped in the morning, he was prepared for it and his other hand caught Amber’s in an instant. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

She couldn’t break free. Then, she was half carried and half dragged by Elliot towards his car.

Amber never thought that he would be so blatant. She immediately shouted for help, “Help, I’m assaulted!”

Some passersby stopped and looked at their direction. However, Elliot wasn’t afraid at all. He smiled at them and said, “She’s my girlfriend! I made her angry this morning, you see. Just here to coax her.”

Judging from Elliot’s attire, he was definitely someone noble and didn’t look like a lecher. Furthermore, his appearance was handsome and charming, while Amber was as pretty as a picture. The two of them seemed to match well and everyone believed him.

Seeing that Elliot had dragged her next to the car, Amber panicked. She lowered her head and bit Elliot’s hand fiercely. Not expecting her to be so ruthless, he instantly let go of her in pain.

Amber turned around and ran. Elliot’s hand was covered with blood, which made him grimace in pain. “This woman is so heartless!”

He was about to give chase and an ear-piercing screech of a car brake was heard. He turned his head and saw Rodney sitting in the car, staring at him intently.

They were both well-known individuals. Being stared by Rodney in this way, Elliot felt a little embarrassed. He let off an awkward laugh and asked, “Mr. Barron, how are you free to be here?”

Rodney put on a fake smile and replied, “What’s this all about, Mr. Thomson?”

“Since you saw it, then I won’t keep it from you. Women are all petty. Last night, she had asked me to keep her company, but I had something serious to do. I couldn’t make it so she got angry in the end. I came to apologise, but she doesn’t accept it. Women are really difficult beings.”

These words were stinging to Rodney’s ears. He sneered and said, “Mr. Thomson, you’re really a skirt- chaser, aren’t you?”

“No, no, no. I just put on an act with the others, but this one is the one that got my heart. I’ll introduce her to you on another day.”

“She got your heart?” A dangerous glint flashed through Rodney’s eyes as he clenched his fist unnaturally. “Mr. Thomson, your taste has been getting worse, it seems?”

“Is she bad? I think she’s pretty good though. She’s many times more beautiful than the women I’ve toyed with before. She’s also not just a little bit more gorgeous than your girl, the Chief Secretary’s daughter. Am I right, Mr. Barron?” Elliot was joking apparently, but he unknowingly insulted Rodney.

“Haha!” Rodney sniggered, “I’m afraid that her beauty is only skin deep.”

This utterance caused Elliot’s expression to change. He never had any conflict with Rodney. What was the reason for Rodney to come over and ridicule him like this? Since his hand was hurting badly, he had no intention of bickering with Rodney. “I’m leaving now. That little wild cat had bitten me like this. I’ll have to go to the hospital and bandage it to prevent infection!”

After watching Elliot drive away, Rodney punched the steering wheel. “How shameless of this fickle woman. Hooking up with Elliot so quickly!”
