Chapter 39 What Are You Waiting for? Take It off!
Amber’s mood was lightened when she received a present from Jeremy, who was currently out of town.
She put the ring on her ring finger after replying to Jeremy, hiding the trace of her former wedding ring.
While Chloe glanced at Amber and her ring, her eyes were full of jealousy,
Amber’s happy face annoyed Jared slightly.
Chloe had never expected Amber would receive such a lavish gift, so she was surprised. “Isn’t Cole
your lover, Ms. Reed? You use his name to get here. And Mr. Lynch is your rumored lover, the model,
is he?” She said loudly.
“I guess both of you aren’t simply friends since he got you such an expensive gift.” Chloe ridiculed, “I
didn’t believe the rumor that you cheated on Mr. Farrell, which led to your divorce, but I do now,” she
said.
Amber laughed quietly to herself, knowing that no one knew why they were divorced better than Jared.
Amber turned to Jared, thinking that he would clear things up for her, but he sat next to Makenna and
did nothing.
She had just witnessed everything, so why was she still hoping? Her love for him was gone, as was the
tattoo on her waist.
“Does Cole know you received a present from Mr. Lynch? And does he know you’re a two- timer?”
“What is the point of having a big–mouth in a private room?” Cole, who was dressed in a black. T–shirt,
stated as he entered the room. “Where is the loud wench?” He asked, looking viciously at Chloe. “I
want to cut off her tongue!”
Chloe took a few steps back and nearly fell to the ground in fear, as Cole stood in front of her, staring
her down from head to toe, asking, “Why do you seem scared? Are you that obnoxious wench?”
“No…No…” Chloe was stuttering.
“I believe you are; you sound like one,” said Cole. “Bring me a knife, anyone?” Cole growled as he
yanked her hair and shoved her against the poker table.
“Be careful not to injure yourself, this is a sharp one,” Stella said as he handed him the little. knife
alongside the fruit tray.
“Makenna, Gigi, help…” Chloe screamed out, shivering in terror.
But no one dared to say anything. Makenna clenched her fist on Jared’s sleeve and wanted to walk
forward, but Jared motioned for her to stay seated.
He was curious about how far Cole could go to protect Amber.
“Am I talking to deaf–mutes here?” Cole looked around and noticed Jared and Makenna were also
present.
“What did they do to my babe just now?” He muttered and turned to Stella. “Did they bully her?”
“And that’s not all!” Stella was quick to reveal everything.
After the story, Cole cast a glance at Jared and tossed Chloe aside, telling Amber, “Go to our room, I’ll
be right there.”
“No, let’s go celebrate your birthday,” she said, holding his arm so he wouldn’t go against the Garland
family for her.
Jared’s heart was sunken by her move of gripping a man’s arm.
“No, I have to teach them a lesson for bullying my babe, but don’t worry, I’ll be gentle,” he added,
gesturing Stella to take Amber away.
“Let’s get out of here, Ms. Reed. Cole knows what to do,” Stella remarked as she pulled Amber out of Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
the room.
“Let’s play a few rounds,” Cole said as he sat down at the table and lit a cigarette. “I’ll kneel at your feet
and offered you two million dollars for each of your victories. But if I win, you must remove one piece of
clothing at a time and walk out of here dressed as you are.”
This offer drew the ladies in since it promised an excellent opportunity to earn a fortune, and removing
a piece of clothing was nothing compared to that.
“Be ready to kneel, Cole,” Gigi clenched her fists and sat beside him, enraged by his behavior.
As he reclined back in his seat, he added, “Sure, come on, don’t waste my time, my babe is waiting for
me.”
Without Gigi’s approval, no one dared to move. She chose a few players who were excellent at poker
and then turned to Makenna.
Makenna understood instantly, “Jared, Mr. Lyon has gone too far. Can you help?” Makenna pleaded,
knowing that Jared was a skilled poker player and that Cole might not be able to beat him.
“I have stuff to do, and you go ahead,” Jared said as he stayed sitting.
Makenna didn’t expect to be rejected, but she didn’t show it. “Alright then,” she smiled, “It won’t be
long.”
The girls were no match for Cole; he was quick and merciless, “What are you waiting for, stupid head?”
He said to one of them during the game, “Pick up the pace,” and the ladies were all enraged by his
comments.
Makenna thought she was good at poker and that she and her friends could easily beat Cole in a
three–on–one game, but she was wrong. After a few rounds, she had nothing but a white camisole top
left.
“I’ll take this round!” Cole said once again.
Makenna cursed silently, knowing Cole wanted to punish her for Amber!
“What are you waiting for?” He said as he tapped away the ashes from his cigarette and looked at
Makenna. “Take it off!”
