"Did you tell Stella that your family is poor, and you work three jobs a day?" Amber sneered, and she contemptuously looked at Hayden, "It's such a pity that you didn't enter the entertainment industry. Otherwise, you would be one of the best actors."
Hayden shrugged and responded, "I went to an automobile store for my car maintenance, but she thought that I was the car mechanic there. I have no idea if she works for your company. I was just teasing her, but I didn't expect her to believe me and ask me to drive for you."
Amber rolled her eyes and said, "Were you interested in Stella because she was naive and pure?"
"You misunderstood me. She was always the one who approached me first," Hayden replied arrogantly and continued, "It was her who was interested in me."
Amber recalled, and it appeared that it was indeed Stella who had feelings for Hayden.
"Where are you going, Ms. Reed?" Hayden turned back to fasten his seatbelt and continued, "This is my first time driving for someone with such a bad conditioned car. You're far too fortunate to enjoy this service."
Hayden complained about Jared when they were on the way, "This car is such a trash, and the driving experience is so bad for me. Jared drives a Maybach on his own, but he didn't give you a fancy car after the divorce. What a douchebag."
"Why didn't you call me back about the issue I asked previously?" Amber calmly changed the topic.
"There's isn't anything wrong with the waiter or the water, so why should I call you back?" Hayden's eyed looked strange, and he continued, "I watched the surveillance that night, and you walked staggering out of the bathroom. You were just overthinking it as you had indeed drunk too much that day."
Hayden then laughed and teased Amber, "You were quite bold last night, Ms. Reed. Is this Jared's first time to see you act like this?"
Amber was embarrassed, and she felt uncomfortable as she listened to Hayden.
She was afraid of Hayden being a busybody, yet he used his authority as a boss to watch the videos!
"Since there's no problem with the water, then just let it be. Let's head to Edgeworth School. I'm exhausted and will take a rest first, notify me when we arrive," Amber pretended to sleep and ignored him as she finished.
At the same time, at the Trident Group.
Trenton had just heard the news that the Goldstone Co. owned by Amber was about to take over Maxmatch, and she was looking for the owner.
Trenton didn't expect that Amber could become so capable in such a short period.
"But what makes the difference even if she is capable? Goldstone will collapse easily!" Trenton sneered and sent a message to the people outside.
He wanted Goldstone to fall down without ever rising again!
He was eager to get rid of the Goldstone and pay tribute to his dead eldest daughter with the victory.
Trenton had just given the order, but the computer on his table suddenly flashed and flickered. He was just about to press the power button, but the computer desktop was back to normal again, and a video window popped out.
The lighting in the video was bright enough that he noticed a man dressed in the Blue Moon's uniform lying on the ground, with blood under him.
Trenton's pupils constricted because of the sudden shock.
He hadn't been able to contact this person. How did he appear in the video?
The person on the ground groaned weakly, and he was obviously suffering. A man wearing a fox mask soon appeared in the video.
The man approached the camera. He stared coldly at Trenton through the lens and said, "Mr. Gardner."
"Who are you? How did you hack into my computer?" Trenton frowned, and he wished he could turn off his computer. However, the power button did not respond, and the computer couldn't be shut down.
The man in the fox mask laughed and said with a deep voice, "Not only your company computer, but I can easily hack into your phone and your wife's phone too. I'm here today because I've got a warning for you."
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? Are you all idiots?" Trenton cursed angrily. He trembled in rage and nearly passed out.
So, this was the sixty million dollars mentioned by the man in the fox mask!
Trenton was terrified by the man's tactics as he couldn't catch the enemy.
Trenton suppressed his temper. He called his staff immediately, his teeth gritting, and he instructed, "Cancel the plan and withdraw the news too. Don't take any actions against the Goldstone Co.!"
"Didn't you tell me to notify you after the things are done? Why…"
"Just do what I say. Withdraw it right now!" Trenton scolded angrily and continued, "If anything happens to the Goldstone Co., I'll let something happen to you too!"
"Alright, noted."
Trenton's heart throbbed with pain. Then, the branch office in Kongham called as he just caught a breath of relief.
"The accountant ran away with forty million dollars, Mr. Gardner," The person on the other end of the phone spoke warily and continued, "The accountant took a plane to Cambodia last night…"
Trenton was so enraged that he nearly passed out.
Didn't the man in the fox mask mention sixty million dollars? Why did he transfer another forty million away? That was brutal!
Trenton couldn't take the shock of losing a hundred million dollars all of a sudden. His blood pressure skyrocketed, and he fell on the table with a thud without spatting out a word.
"Mr. Gardner?" The person on the phone asked, "Are you listening, Mr. Gardner?"
