Chapter 232 Like a Puppet
Lady Georgia nodded and said, "Yes, you are different from the way you used to be. You weren't so
aloof. It could even be said that you were mild in the past. But six years ago, you seemed to have
changed into another person after that incident. If it weren't for your birthmark, I would have thought
that you were replaced by someone else."
Jared's face stiffened.
According to his grandmother's description, he used to be a totally different person. However, he had
no impression of his previous character.
How could this be?
Jared pressed a hand on his forehead, and his head began to ache again. The strange images popped
up in his mind again. They flashed by so fast that he couldn't catch them.
"Jared, what's wrong?" Seeing Jared's expression, Lady Georgia hurriedly asked.
Jared pinched the space between his eyebrows and said, "I'm fine. Grandmother, tell me what I was
like."
"Sure." Lady Georgia happily agreed, "In the past, you weren't reserved but instead talkative, and you
treated everyone politely. However, ever since you told me that you and your pen pal Makenna were
together, I noticed that there was only Makenna in your eyes. You could no longer see anything else.
You just tagged along Makenna like a puppet."
"No, it's impossible." Jared clenched his fists and subconsciously retorted that this was not true.
How could he be like a puppet?
However, when he thought of how he doted on and protected Makenna, he lost his voice.
He knew that Makenna had done a lot of wrong things, but he had never thought about criticizing her or
punishing her. On the contrary, he helped her to end it. Because she cried, he was softhearted to do
so. What else could he be but a puppet?
He shouldn't be like this, but the memory in his mind told him that he had indeed become such a
person.
Seeing that her grandson had fallen into deep self-doubt, Lady Georgia sighed.
"All right, all right. It's useless to talk about this now. Let me ask you. Why did you have a car accident
near Amber's home? Were you going to see Amber?" Lady Georgia caressed Jared's forehead and
asked.
Jared's eyes became evasive, and he didn't answer.
Lady Georgia curled up her lips and said, "Forget it. I'd better go to rest. Amber said that even though
I'm worried about you, I still have to rest."
"Amber knows that I had a car accident?" Jared's expression changed slightly and he immediately
asked.
Lady Georgia nodded. "Yes, you're on the headlines because of the car accident. How could she not
know?"
Jared looked down to hide the emotions in his eyes, "Then did she..."
He wanted to know if Amber had asked about his condition or come to the hospital to visit him.
"Is there anything?" Lady Georgia looked at him.
Jared's thin lips opened, but in the end, he didn't finish his sentence. He just replied, "Nothing."
"How childish you are." Lady Georgia glared at him, "Forget it. I'm leaving. Rest now."
Jared replied with an "hmm" and a trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
It seemed that Amber had never asked him, let alone come to see him.
Otherwise, how could his grandmother not tell him?
Knowing that he had a car accident at Kelsington Bay, it was impossible for Amber not to figure out that
he was there to see her.
However, she still did not come to visit him. Was she really that cold-hearted?
Jared's handsome face was calm but he felt uncomfortable in heart.
In the Goldstone Co.
Jeremy drank afternoon tea with Amber in the office for a while. Then he received a call from his agent,
which asked him to go back to the company for a meeting.
As soon as he left, Stella came.
When she learned that Jeremy had left, she pouted in dejection, "I'm late."
"Why are you so concerned about Jeremy?" Amber pointed at the chair opposite her and gestured for
her to sit down.
After Stella sat down, her expression became serious, "Ms. Reed, let me tell you the truth. I suspect
that he is the one I have been looking for."
"Eh?" Amber was puzzled.
Stella picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Ms. Reed, you should know that I have been looking for
someone, right?"
Amber nodded, "I know. You asked for leave twice because of this person."
"Yeah." Stella sighed, "In fact, I'm from Capital. I'm a bodyguard of a powerful family. I came to Olkmore
City this time to look for the youngest son of my master."
"So now you suspect that Jeremy is the one?" Amber raised her eyebrow.
"Yes, because Mr. Lynch looks very similar to the master, and his age matches the Young Master's, I
am now very sure that he is Young Master." Stella said.
Amber smiled and said, "What if he's not? Besides, Jeremy has parents. Although they passed away
long time ago, I have seen them in photos. There was also resemblance between Jeremy and them."
"I have found some evidence. First of all, Ensford Town is the place where Mr. Lynch grew up. And we
found that the young master used to live in Ensford Town, too. In addition, Mr. Lynch and our old
master looked really alike. What a coincidence, so how could he not be the young master?"
"That's true." Amber nodded.
Stella grasped her hand and said, "Ms. Reed, can you do me a favor? Help me get a few hairs of Mr.
Lynch. I want to do a DNA test."
"Well... I'll ask for Jeremy's permission. If he doesn't want to, I can't force him." Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Stella held her hand and looked at her gratefully, "Thank you, Ms. Reed. It's very kind of you to help
me. If he doesn't agree, I'll think of my own way. Well, Ms. Reed, I still have work to do. I'll go back to
the finance department first."
After that, Stella let go of Amber's hand and went out while humming.
"She's really a woman of action." Amber shook her head.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Amber put down the pen and picked it up. Seeing Hayden's name, she answered directly, "Hello."
"Auntie." However, it was not Hayden's voice coming from the phone, but a child's sweet voice.
Amber suddenly laughed, "Is it Jayden?"
"It's me, auntie. Jayden misses you." Jayden held the mobile phone with both hands and spoke timidly.
Amber's heart melted, "If you miss me, you can ask your uncle to bring you here."
"Okay, my uncle..."
Before Jayden finished speaking, Amber heard Hayden's voice, "Boy, give me the phone."
"No." Jayden hid the phone behind his back.
Hayden looked at his movement and chuckled, "Boy, do you think I can't get it just because you hide it
behind your back?"
As he said this, Hayden bent down and snatched the phone directly. Then he put his big hand on
Jayden's head, making Jayden unable to kick him no matter how hard he tried.
Seeing this scene, Jayden pouted and was about to cry.
However, Hayden smiled proudly and put the phone to his ear with the other hand, "Amber, it's me."
"Did you do anything bad to Jayden?" Amber questioned.
Hayden rolled his eyes guiltily but he replied in a serious tone, "No, he is my nephew. How can I bully
him?"
"Really?" Amber narrowed her eyes in disbelief.
Hayden nodded repeatedly, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, I'll ask Jayden to tell you in
person."
He put his mobile phone in front of Jayden, but he raised his chin at the pile of toys on the ground,
warning Jayden not to talk nonsense, or he would take his toys away.
Jayden understood the look in the bad uncle's eyes. Tears welled up in his eyes, but he dared not cry
loud. He could only swallow the bitter water of grievance under the threat of the bad uncle. He forced a
smile and said, "Auntie, uncle really didn't bully me."
Hearing Jayden's words, Amber finally believed it.
Hayden gave Jayden a thumbs-up, and then went upstairs with the mobile phone. "Amber, I've found
someone to play Makayla Gardner."
