Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)

Chapter 269 Roommate

Outside the door, Ben Channing was still holding Cole Lyon's arm in hand since he was afraid that Cole

would got inside and make the situation worse. Cole had no choice but staring at the ceiling with a

disappointed face.

Then the door suddenly opened.

Cole immediately fixed his eyes on one who opened the door. He thought it was Amber, but it turned

out to be Jared. His face suddenly became dark and he began to struggle out of Ben's arms and

shouted, "Farrell you bastard! Tell your boy to let me go!"

Jared had a cold glimpse at him before he said to Ben, "Let him go."

Ben nodded and freed Cole.

The moment he was freed, Cole walked over to Jared, "You've been in the room for a long while. What

did you say to my honey?"

"None of your business," said Jared before he walked straight to the elevator.

Ben followed him instantly.

Cole stared at their back inimically until they got into the elevator and moved his arm which had been

held by Ben for a long time. Then he pushed the door open and walked in.

"Honey, did the bastard do anything to you?" Cole quickly strode towards her desk and asked

earnestly.

Amber was sitting on her chair with her eyes fixed on the floor blankly.

Cole bent over to wave his hand before her face and said, "Honey?"

"Ah?" Amber said absent-mindedly before she became sober and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said ‘Did the bastard do anything to you'. Why were you staring at the floor blankly?" Cole looked at

her skeptically.

Amber lowered her eyelids to hide her emotion form him, "I was thinking. Don't bother. He didn't do

anything to me."

"Then what did he say to you?" Cole asked with one hand stroking his jaw.

His intuition told him she was stunned due to Jared's words.

Amber rubbed her temple and said, "Something unimportant."

"But you look like …"

"Cole, just stop, okay? Just leave me alone." Amber looked upwards at him and said sincerely.

With what Jared had said to her in mind, she just needed some time to calm down.

Cole looked at her and shrugged, "All right. Then I'm leaving. Call me if you need."

"I know." Amber nodded.

Cole left worriedly.

With her hand supporting her forehead, Amber looked quite downcast.

After a while, he picked up her phone and clicked into a group chat in which she found a member

called "SashayLiz". She gave the member a voice call.

Soon, the voice call was answered. It was a woman's voice which was energetic yet surprised, "I am

quite surprised that you would call me! Amber!"

"I am also surprised that I would do so, Lizzie," Amber said with a cold smile on her face.

Lizzie was her roommate. Though they were not close, they were friends anyway.

There were four girls in her dorm room. Since Makenna had always been behaving arrogantly and

looking down upon the other three, they wouldn't bother to talk with Makenna as if she were a stranger

to them. Lizzie and the other roommate of Amber, Kelly, had even complained about Makenna with

each other.

It had never occurred to her that someone who hated Makenna as such would help Makenna to

deceive her!

Lizzie did not sense anything wrong in Amber's voice, and she laughed, "You haven't kept in touch with

us since you graduated. I thought I was in my dream when I received your call.

Amber sneered, "Maybe you were in your dream when you fabricated the message?"

The woman on the other side was now nursing her child. The smile on her face suddenly faded when

she heard the word "fabricated", "What are you talking about, Amber? I don't understand."

The message.

The one six years ago?

Over this, Lizzie was stunned. She felt cold all over her body.

Noticing her affected hesitation, Amber raised her head and took a deep breath before she said coldly,

"You know what I'm talking about. When I was talking with my pen pal Zack over the phone, you were

the only one present. You must have known the date and time we agreed to meet each other!"

Lizzie's face suddenly became pale and her heart beat quickly, "I … I …"

"You are a bad liar," Amber looked at her nails and said indifferently, "I know you well. You will stumble

over your words when you lie."

Those words instantly stopped Lizzie from telling another lie.

"I'm so sorry, Amber. I'm so sorry…" Lizzie lowered her head and burst into tears.

Hearing her crying, Amber did not change her cold voice, "I was the one who was betrayed. Why are

you crying? You are the culprit to blame! Are you pretending to be the victim in this case?"

"I …" Lizzie stopped and a sense of shame welled up in her mind.

Indeed, she should not cry as she was the culprit, especially not in the face of the victim.

"I'm so sorry, Amber." Lizzie apologized again.

Amber sneered, "Tell me, why would you do that?"

Lizzie bit her lips and did not answer instantly as if she were in a struggle.

After a few seconds she finally opened her mouth after a deep breath, "It's money, Amber. You know I

am poor. I have no spare money to buy the things I like and then I had just met my boyfriend. There

was another girl chasing him. She was rich and I don't want to lose my boyfriend. So, I accepted the

200 thousand dollars Makenna offered." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"So?" Amber said word by word.

Lizzie placed her child back to the baby's cot before she continued, "The morning you were going to

meet Zack I said the battery of my phone had run down so I had to give a phone call through yours.

And when I gave the phone back to you, I said I saw Zack sent a message to you. And I lied to you. He

didn't change the time of date. Then I said I deleted the message by mistake."

"Well done!" Amber said angrily yet disappointedly with her phone clenched in her hand, "Did you

know, Lizzie? I have never suspected you until the moment I knew the truth. We were friends in

college. I believed you no matter what you say. But you betrayed me for the mere 200 thousand

dollars!"

Hearing those words, Lizzie just kept crying and apologizing.

Amber rubbed the corner of her eyes and said indifferently again, "Why did Makenna know I would

meet Zack? You told her that?"

"I didn't do that on purpose," Lizzie explained hastily, "I hated Makenna so much and I will never tell

those to her deliberately. I told the thing to Kelly in the canteen. Makenna just eavesdropped our

conversation when she passed by."

Amber bit her lips, "So Makenna found you and gave you 200 thousand dollars to hire you to change

the time I met Zack?"
