Hypnotizing Love

Chapter 270 The Engagement Must Be Cancelled

"You are right," Lizzie nodded ashamedly, "I didn't agree at first. But my greed just devoured me."

"Greed …" Amber murmured with her eyes downcast.

Then she suddenly cried in great wrath, "But you don't know that your greed ruined my love and my

marriage!"

"I … I have no idea …" Lizzie was stunned.

She didn't understand. She only deceived her on the time she met her pen pal.

It had never occurred to her that the little lie would have anything to do with her love and marriage.

Amber closed her eyes and then calmed down.

She bit her lips and said, "Farewell, Lizzie."

After that, she hung up the call directly and then threw the phone onto the desk. She lowered her head

so that her expression became invisible.

But the dead silence in the room had already betrayed the agony and sorrow in her mind.

She was wondering if Lizzie had not helped Makenna, she would have been the one who met Zack and

she would have found that Zack was Jared, the boy she loved secretly and Jared would have found

she was the girl called Maple Leaf who he loved so much.

Then they would have been a happy couple.

But she could not go back in time.

Over this, Ambler rubbed her face and picked up the phone to call Sheila Dawson.

"Ms. Reed, how can I help you?" Sheila Dawson looked at her and found her eyes were red so she

asked, "Did you cry, Ms. Reed?"

"No!" Amber's eyes tickled as she was surprised by her great discernment, and then she changed the

topic, "I want you to find a woman for me through the detective agency.

"My pleasure."

"Her name is Elizabeth Johnson. She was a roommate of mine when I was in college. I need her job

and the name of her boss." Amber said with a flash of cruelty in her eyes.

The betrayer must be punished regardless of the reason why she chose to betray.

It's the time for Lizzie, aka Elizabeth Johnson, to be punished.

"Copy that." Sheila nodded and left.

Meanwhile, on Jared's Maybach.

Ben kept looking at Jared on the rearview mirror while driving. Finally, he asked out of curiosity after a

while of hesitation, "Mr. Farrell, did you make it all clear to Ms. Reed?"

With his eyes fixed outside the window, Jared nodded slightly.

A sense of delight welled up in Ben's eyes, "Did she forgive you?"

"No." Jared bit his lips slightly.

Ben was so astonished by his reply that he almost pressed the brake by mistake, "Why? Didn't you tell

her that you were the pen pal called Zack and that you have mistaken Makenna for Maple Leaf?"

"I did. But what she cared about was that I didn't realize she was Maple Leaf during the six years of our

marriage," Jared said with his eyes downcast.

"Indeed," Ben said with his lips twitched.

He said to Jared, "If I were Ms. Reed, I would do the same. Though I wouldn't mind that you were

deceived by Makenna Gardner, I would certainly feel disappointed since you failed to realize that I was

the real Maple Leaf. But you were actually hypnotized, Mr. Farrell. Otherwise, you must have known

Makenna was a liar as soon as possible."

Something suddenly occurred to Ben and he said with his eyes wide open, "Mr. Farrell, Didn't Ms.

Reed say anything to you after she knew you were hypnotized?"

"I didn't tell her I was hypnotized," Jared said gently.

"Why?"

Why would he be so stupid?

With his face supported by his hand, Jared said, "That's not necessary. If I did so, I was merely seeking

her sympathy."

Actually, he wanted to tell Amber the truth. But after he was interrupted by Amber, he thought it was of

no use to do so.

Ben was speechless for a few seconds before he nodded, "You are right."

Jared rubbed his eyebrows and said, "If I had told her I was hypnotized, she might have forgiven me.

But she would never remarry me."

"Why?" Ben seemed a bit confused.

Jared said in a low voice, "She doesn't love me anymore. So, forgiving me is one thing, and remarriage

is another."

"I know." Ben nodded to show that he understood.

Then he asked again, "If Ms. Reed refuses to remarry you, then …"

"I won't give up!" Jared said with much determination in his eyes.

Indeed, he wouldn't give up the girl he had been loving for over a decade.

She was his girl.

Suddenly the phone rang to disrupt Jared from wondering.

He frowned a bit and took out the phone. It was Trenton Gardner again.

In Amber's office, he didn't answer his phone call immediately and Trenton hung up the phone himself.

And Jared didn't call him back. Now it was Trenton's call again.

A sense of reluctance flashed in Jared's eyes and then he answered the call.

Then suddenly the eager voice of Trenton came, "Jared, is Makenna in your place?"

"No," replied Jared softly.

Trenton became more eager and he said in a louder voice, "Then where is she?"

"No idea," said Jared coldly.

Having sensed the indifference in his voice, Trenton was stunned before he said with rage, "What did

you say, Jared? Makenna is your fiancée. She is missing! How could you be so calm?"

"Mr. Gardner!" Jared interrupted him suddenly.

Trenton was confused by his words, "What did you call me?"

Mr. Gardner?

He used to call him uncle!

"I remembered I have made it clear in your place that I want to break off my engagement to Makenna.

And Mrs. Gardner was present. She must have told you that," Jared said coldly.

Trenton was speechless. He said after a few second, "She did tell me. But it was a joke, right?"

A joke?

Jared understood immediately. Trenton was trying to smooth things over. If Jared agreed that it was a

joke, the engagement would not be canceled anyway.

But he was not someone that could be fooled easily.

His finger tapping on the door gently, Jared said with no mercy, "It's not a joke. I am determined to do

so. I will hold a press conference tomorrow noon to announce my decision formally."

Trenton was stunned. He couldn't believe that Jared would cancel the engagement through a press

conference without informing them. It would be a humiliation for the Gardner's family!

Suddenly his mind was filled with rage. His wrinkled face got reddened.

But he had to be polite since he didn't want the cancelation of engagement, "Jared, I know it's

Makenna's fault to meet you in the disguise of another girl. But she would do so because she loves you

too much. Couldn't you just forgive her? Don't you feel anything about her after years of being

together?"

"No, I had never loved her. What I did was not for her. She has stolen my love. So, I will cancel the

engagement anyway. After that, he hung up the call directly, leaving no chance for Trenton to continue.
