Chapter 18 The Big Gift
There were people all around watching the fun, but Amber ignored them.
She just looked at Jared who was on one knee, with a wry smile on her face, then turned to Mrs.
Gardner and spoke in an offhand manner, “First of all, I‘m sorry I came uninvited. Secondly, who can
guarantee that the video that went viral online is real? You said you have a score to settle with me from
six years ago. Well, I have to tell you, I was wrongly accused.”
As she finished, she darted her eyes on Makenna.
Makenna’s face went pale and she hid behind Jared.
The crowd saw the scene and blamed Amber.
“This woman is unscrupulous. She hit Makenna with her car six years ago. But she has the nerves to
come to the party!”
“Yeah, look how she scared Miss Gardner! She‘s gone too far.”
Mrs. Gardner was in no mood for Amber’s nonsense when her daughter was scared, “You’re a sharp-
tongued girl. Since you say you’ve been wrongly accused, then go and explain yourself to the police.”
Mrs. Gardner was about to make a phone call when Jared stopped her.
After a long silence, Jared finally spoke, “Amber, this is not the place for you to be.”
Threatening her?
Amber was actually smiling, then raised an eyebrow with sarcasm, “Then where should I go, Mr.
Farrell? Although you haven’t treated me well in the past six years, I don‘t think I‘ve ever done anything
wrong to you. Do you really want to drive me into desperation by posting the faked video to smear me NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
online?”
Jared‘s eyes twinkled and he squeezed the box in his hand.
Ben was about to explain for his boss when Jared stopped him.
He looked at her with his deep-set eyes, “Makenna won’t hold you accountable. You don’t have to be
like this.”
Amber snorted as if she had heard the biggest joke, “Are you kidding me?”
She glanced at the crowd and sat back in her chair nonchalantly, “Jeremy, bring out the big gift I’ve
prepared Miss Gardner.”
So, with everyone looking on in amazement, Jeremy walked to the projector. After a minute or two, a
video clip was projected onto the wall screen.
The scene was different from what was presented on the internet.
Trenton, however, spoke up at this moment, and his face was a little somber, “Miss Reed, how do you
prove this is real? With all the technology nowadays, anything can be faked.”
Amber had expected him to say that.
She gave Jeremy a look.
Then he made a phone call. Soon, a man arrived.
The man who came was known to most of the people in the room; he was a famous computer
technologist in Olkmore City.
His word was more reliable than anyone else‘s.
“I can prove that Miss Reed’s video is genuine and that the one circulating on the internet has been
tampered with.”
When he finished, everyone’s faces changed, especially Jared‘s. The look on his face was simply
wonderful.
He sulked, “Amber, have you had enough of this?”
Cole sneered, “Jared, you’re pretty pathetic. You‘ve been taken for a fool! Let‘s put the video aside first.
That car accident back then, all you had to do was look into, find the people who were handling the
case, and the truth would have been clear.”
Jared’s face was cold to the core, and he looked at Makenna with his unemotional eyes, making people
feel dangerous.
Makenna panicked.
She hadn’t expected Amber to found the evidence!
She shook her head with fear in her eyes, “I … I didn‘t lie to you. Jared… I’m not… Listen to
me ...”
Her explanation at the moment was feeble.
The truth was put in front of her eyes and it was useless for her to say anything!
Seeing this, Cole couldn‘t have been more relieved and grunted, “Jared, I guess there‘s something else
you don‘t understand. During the years Makenna was in a coma, Amber had been going to the hospital
to donate blood for her. If she hit Makenna on purpose, why did she keep donating blood? She did it for
you. You think you‘re shrewd, but in fact, you‘re so blind!”
