Chapter 279 The Suspect Was Caught
Chapter 279 The Suspect Was Caught
It turned out Jared had a chance to know Amber was the real Maple Leaf three months ago.
He had just divorced Amber at that time. If he had known Amber was the real Maple Leaf, Makenna
wouldn't have any chance to harm Amber. Probably, he had already won Amber's heart back.
However, he couldn't turn back the time.
Although Logan made a mistake so that he couldn't recognize Amber at that time, Jared had to admit
that it was because of himself as well. If he could have a firm faith when Logan had grabbed the letter
and grabbed the letter back, things wouldn't become like this.
Jared could only tell himself that it was all because of God's plan.
On the other end of the line, Logan felt uneasy after Jared directly hung up the phone. He walked back
and forth while holding the phone. "I'm so doomed! Jared must hate me to the core now."
He also regretted why he didn't let Jared read that letter.
If Jared had, Makenna wouldn't have had any chance to do anything. Jared and Amber would have
remarried already.
However, Logan believed that he had screwed everything.
"I must make up for them." Logan rolled his eyes and dialed Amber's phone number. "Hello, Amber.
Help me!"
Amber was dealing with some files. She didn't check the caller ID when hearing the ringing tone. She
swiped to answer directly, but it turned out to be Logan on the other end of the line. He asked her for
help as soon as the call was connected.
"What's wrong? Were you arrested by the police again?" Amber asked, putting the phone between her
neck and shoulder.
Logan said, "Bah! I'm not arrested. Amber, can't you wish me well?"
"I do wish you well, but you look like a frequent visitor to the police station," Amber answered while
signing the documents.
Logan blushed in displeasure. "You've gone too far, Amber!"
"All right. I'm kidding with you, Logan. What's wrong? Tell me directly. I'm super busy." Amber put away
the signed document, picked up another one, and continued to read through it.
Logan scratched his hair and muffled, "Here is the thing. I might be hated by my brother."
Then he told Amber about that letter.
Amber listened to him and paused when writing. Only then did she know what happened after Logan
had taken away the letter.
Since Amber didn't speak, Logan panicked. "Amber, my brother must hate me to the core now. You
must help me."
"I'm sorry, but it's your family affairs. I can't meddle in," Amber answered while reading the document.
Logan didn't expect her to refuse. He gaped and blinked. "Why not? It's about you as well. If I hadn't..."
"Enough. Stop it!" Amber interrupted him with a frown. "I know what you mean. You want to tell me it
was all because of you, so your brother didn't recognize me earlier, right?"
Logan nodded hard. "Exactly. If I had let Jared read the letter, probably, you and he have already
remarried."
"You are wrong." Amber turned a page of the document expressionlessly. "Even if you had shown
Jared the letter, I wouldn't have remarried him."
"Why not?" Logan was agape.
Amber parted her red lips and answered flatly, "No reason. If you insist on knowing the reason, it's
because I don't love him. Why would I remarry a man who I don't love?"
Then she hung up the phone directly.
Right then, there were a few knocks on the office door.
Amber said without raising her head, "Come in." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Sheila put down her hands and walked in. Standing in front of Amber's desk, she said, "Ms. Reed, the
police station called just now. They asked you to go to the police station. They said they had caught the
person who projected the skull on your window."
Upon hearing it, Amber raised her head instantly. "Did they catch him?"
"Yes!" Sheila nodded.
Amber smiled.
The police didn't contact her for a long time, so she had thought they failed to catch the person and
terminated the case.
"I see. I'll be right there." Amber put down the pen, picked up her purse, and walked out of the office.
As soon as he left the office, she saw Jeremy walking towards her.
"Are you going out, Amber?" Jeremy asked while seeing the purse on Amber's shoulder.
Amber slightly nodded. "Yep. I'm going to the police station."
"The police station?" Jeremy narrowed his eyes slightly. "What happened, Amber?'
"Nothing much. They caught a suspect who projected a skull on my window in midnight," Amber
answered neatly.
Jeremy looked annoyed. "Someone projected a skull on your window?"
"Yeah."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier, Amber?" Jeremy pulled Amber's hand. His eyes were full of
disagreement. "What if it's a vicious criminal?"
Looking into his nervous eye with concern, Amber felt quite warm. With a smile, she patted the back of
his hand. "Don't worry. I'm fine. The man has been caught."
"I know you are fine, but it means you'll be well next time." Jeremy couldn't rest assured.
Amber smiled. "All right. All right. I know it. I'll be the first one telling you if it happens next time."
Only then did Jeremy nod in satisfaction and hum.
Amber didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "All right. I'm going to the police station now. If you want to
talk to me. Let's wait after I come back."
"I'm not busy. I just came over to check on you. Let me go with you."
After finishing his words, Jeremy was afraid that she would refuse. He directly took her hand and
walked to the elevator.
In the car.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Amber suddenly recalled something. She turned to look at Jeremy, who
was driving, and said, "By the way, Jeremy, I asked you last time that Stella wanted a bit of your hair,
you remember? You said you would consider it. How did it go?"
Jeremy's eyes twinkled when hearing her question. Soon, he returned to calm and answered with a
gentle smile, "Forget it. My parents are my biological parents. How could I be someone else's son? She
said I looked like her grandfather. Probably, it was just fate. After all, a lot of strangers like each other in
this world."
"That makes sense." Amber supported her head. "I've seen your parents' photos before. You look like
them indeed. Probably, Stella made a mistake. Well, I'll tell her not to think about your hair anymore."
"Ehn." Jeremy nodded with a smile.
When Amber turned to peer out of the window, the smile disappeared from his face instantly, which
was twisted with hatred now.
Edmund Rylands was just a jerk. He abandoned Jeremy and his mother. Now, he was dying and knew
that all his other sons were unreliable. Hence, he wanted to take Jeremy back home.
Did he think he would be relieved after taking Jeremy back?
How naive!
Jeremy wished him to die more than other brothers did.
Less than twenty minutes later, they arrived at the police station.
Jeremy stopped the car. As soon as Amber got down, a car rushed over. The driver honked at her to
ask her to drive away.
Amber frowned. She walked forward, and the car followed her. Then the car was parked in the parking
space that Amber had found earlier.
Soon, the car door was opened and a man got down. A familiar face— it was Trenton.
They looked at each other. Trenton asked with a stern look, "Why are you here in the police station?"
"It's my personal business. It has nothing to do with you, Mr. Gardner," Amber answered with a faint
smile.
Jeremy glanced at Trenton and directly said to Amber, "We don't need to waste time with unimportant
ones, Amber. Let's go in."
Amber slightly nodded.
When she turned around, Trenton suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "Stop."
