Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 5

Watching his indifferent face and hearing his ruthless words, Amber directed her gaze downwards to hide the sadness in her eyes.

Rodney Barron. What was his heart made of? It was five years of love and three years of marriage. She did nothing to him that she should be sorry for. Why was he so cruel to her?

Three years ago, he had divorced her without leaving her anything. Now, meeting for the first time in three years, he wanted to send her to the police station irregardless of what truly happened.

Men were the most heartless creatures in the world, and Rodney Barron was the best among them.

Was she blind? How could she had fallen in love with such a cold-blooded and vicious man?

Amber insisted on not apologising and was finally taken by the police to the police station.

The police interrogated her according to the procedure. Midway through the investigation, her phone rang. It was Elliot. Amber answered the phone and heard Elliot’s voice sounding flustered and exasperated. “Amber Stone, where the hell did you go? Didn’t I tell you to wait in the lounge?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Thomson!” Amber apologised repeatedly, “Something happened and I’m at the police station now.”

“What? The police station? Why did you go to the police station?”

“I… this….” Amber didn’t know how to word it. She couldn’t possibly tell Elliot that she bumped into the mistress who ruined her marriage, she became mad, caused a conflict, and was sent to the police station by her ex-husband, right?

Hearing her hesitancy, Elliot was impatient. “If you like to stay in the police station, just stay. I don’t want you anymore. I’ll call and tell Pierce Hammond right away!”

There was a beep sound on the other end of the phone, Elliot had hung up on her. Had she brought upon herself the disaster of being locked up and being fired? Amber’s heart sank.

Seeing her pale face, the police sympathised with her and kindly reminded, “Young lady, how did you even offend these people? One is Mr. Black’s precious daughter, and the other is Rodney Barron, a business tycoon. Why did you provoke them? Be sensible, just apologise and get over with it. By the way, I have Mr. Barron’s phone n

umber. Why don’t you call him and say something nice?”

Amber smiled faintly and answered, “Thank you, sir. Now I’ve lost my job, and have nowhere to go. At least I’ll get to chill while being locked up here, still having something to eat and somewhere to stay. So, there’s no need to apologise to them.”

Seeing that she refused to apologise, the police left with a sigh. Amber knew that Rodney would not let her off. Now that she was here, she just needed to settle down to wait and see what he could do. Could Rodney really be above the law? She didn’t think so.

…

As she was thinking, she heard heavy footsteps at the door. Soon, the door was pushed open, and Elliot was standing there with an angry face. “Amber Stone, how bold of you!”

…

“Mr. Thomson.” Amber greeted him in a low voice.

“I’ve never met an assistant like you, who couldn’t help with anything and only knew how to cause trouble!” Elliot scolded her harshly. However, when he noticed Amber’s pathetic state, he shut his mouth in an instant.

“What happened? How the f*ck did you become like this?” exclaimed Elliot.

“Nothing. I was just being poured all over with wine by someone.”

“Who did it?” Elliot asked through gritted teeth.

“Someone I didn’t know!” Amber lied. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“D*mn, you really don’t add to my reputation, do you? How could you let yourself get bullied like this?” Elliot casually picked up his phone and dialed. “Get me two people. My assistant has been bullied. Go and f*ck up that idiot who bullied her.”

“Mr. Thomson! That person is hospitalised now, so there’s no need to punish her. Now I’m the one she wants to punish.” Amber tried to stop Elliot.

“Good job!” Elliot’s face suddenly turned bright. “It’s fine. No one dares mess with you as long as I’m here. Get up and let’s go!”

“Let’s go?” Amber did not understand.

“Why? Do you want to stay here?” responded Elliot as he turned around to leave. Amber hesitated for a moment, then stood up and followed him.

No one stopped her. She followed behind Elliot and got out of the police station unobstructed. When they reached the parking lot, Elliot suddenly turned around and burst out laughing while looking at her.
