Chapter 5 I ept
"Liam! You investigated me!"
Amber was so angry that she couldn''t care less about her manners.
How could he send someone to pry into her life?
Are all wealthy people so audacious?
"That''s right. I''ve sent someone to look into your background. I know that you are 5''3 tall, and you
weigh 100 pounds. You go to South X University. You''re in your senior year, majoring in journalism and
Your mother left home and abandoned you when you were two years old. Your biological father and
stepmother died in a car ident 12 years ago. Unfortunately, that same car ident also caused your
sister to lose her sight."
Amber was so angry that her entire body was shaking!
She felt so naked in front of him now that he had revealed all of her past!
Seeing that Amber was quiet, Liam continued, "I even know that neither you nor your sister like egg
yolks, and your sister''s dream is to be a traveler. And you want more than anything to cure your sister''s
eyes so that she can fulfill her dreams."
"So?" Amber asked coldly as she controlled her breathing, trying to calm herself down.
"I came to help you achieve this dream. I''ve checked Abby''s medical records. To cure both of her eyes,
all she needs to do is go to the US and get an operation done. This surgery, with a 99.5% sess rate
in the US, is almost foolproof."
99.5%? Amber was stunned by the number. Her head buzzed as if a bolt of lightning had struck it.
"Does 99.5% mean..." Amber could feel her entire body quiver!
"Yes! I ept!" She shouted those words to Liam without hesitation, as though she was afraid that he
would backtrack.
"I ept your offer. But you must ensure that my sister''s eyesight is restored!"
Liam chuckled slightly on the other end of the phone. "No problem, I can sign a contract with you. Let''s
have a nominal marriage for six months, and I will never touch you throughout this period. After the
contract is signed, I will arrange for someone to send your sister to Country M for surgery immediately.
You may stay beside her during the entire process."
"Deal."
After hanging up the phone, a news notification popped up on Amber''s phone.
"BREAKING NEWS: Liam Croft''s new lover is a homewrecker!"
Soon, the news spread throughout City C. The headlines in every newspaper were news of Liam and
her getting married.
Some dedicated reporters even made a specific feature story about both of them. They also released
photos of the two of them at a hotel during Valentine''s Day and analyzed the rtionship between
Liam, Mia, Amber, and Oliver in detail.
As a result, Amber became a shameless gold-digger who pushed herself onto the wealthy CEO, while
Mia and Oliver became the deeply hurting and abandoned exes.
Only Liam, who had managed to escape all me and scorn, was portrayed as the perfect gentleman
who was forced to pay a price out of obligation, even though he was being tricked.
As soon as Amber arrived in the ssroom, everyone was in a frenzy. Her best friend, Emma, pulled
her by the arm and screamed excitedly, "Amber! When did you hook up with Liam? Isn''t he the CEO of
the Waston Group? He is the most sought-after bachelor of the city! How did you be his fiancée?"
Before Amber could answer, a group of gossipers gathered around and asked, "Is the news on the
papers true? Why did Liam’s ex-fiancée willingly let go of her position?"
"Only a silhouette of Liam was published in the newspaper. Is he handsome in person? How tall is he?
Have you guys had sex?"
"Ahem…" Amber was almost choked to death on her saliva. Her ssmates were all out for the juicy
details!
As she was about to flee the scene with Emma, the crowd suddenly parted. A pretty girl was making
her way towards Amber.
Other than Emma, everyone looked at Amber with expectant hearts because the pretty girl who walked
over was none other than Mia''s cousin, Cynthia White.
"I guess shameless women nowadays can get their hands on whatever they want without any
difficulty!" Cynthia scrutinized Amber from head to toe with her arrogant eyes. She was clothed in
luxurious-looking clothes, looking as though she came from a wealthy family. On the other hand,
Amber''s old jacket looked shabby and worn out.
"Cynthia White, keep your mouth shut! Who are you to speak like so? What a bitch!" Emma held
Amber''s hand tightly and stood alongside her as she fired back at Cynthia.
"Who are you calling a bitch? Shrew!" Cynthia, relying on the power and authority of Mia''s family, had
always been domineering at school. Therefore, no one had ever dared to say anything to her face. That
was why when Emma publicly rebuked her, she was so furious that her body shook. "My cousin has
been with Liam for three years! If some shameless mistress hadn''t interfered, they would have gotten
married by the end of the year!"
"Who are you calling shameless?" Emma was still worked up and looked as if she was ready to
continue arguing, so Amber hurriedly dragged her away. "Forget it, let''s go! Let her say whatever she
likes!"
Amber felt that she was indeed a little in the wrong, even though Liam proposed the deal; she did, after
all, stole away Mia''s boyfriend.
She sat with Emma at a field that was located behind the ssrooms and told her everything about the
incident from the beginning to the end.
"Amber! How could you be such a fool? If you divorce Liam in six months, you''d be known as a
divorcee! Then the news would talk about you being a mistress and how you ended up in misery!"
Emma scrunched her brows in worry. "No Amber, you can''t do this! Call Liam and tell him that you''ve
changed your mind!"
Amber shook her head and sighed, "It''s toote for that."
Gritting her teeth, Emma replied upsettingly, "Liam is such a sinister person. He must have manipted
the tabloids, portraying himself as high and mighty, and then me everything on you!"
Amber lowered her head and let out a long sigh. "He knew that I would put up with it for Abby''s sake.
You''re right, this man is indeed terrifying, and he''s good with reading into people''s hearts."
Holding Amber''s hand, Emma continued persuading her, "Amber, it''s not toote to turn back now!
Both of you haven''t registered for marriage! As for Abby, I''ll find a way to help you raise some money
for her surgery!"
Touched by her pure intentions, Amber gently hugged her best friend. "Emma, thank you! But your
family isn''t doing great as well. Just forget it. Since I chose this path, I will face all the consequences
myself!"
The duo chatted for a while longer. Halfway through their conversation, Emma noticed Amber''s
troubled expression, so sheforted her and said, "Amber, why don''t we skip ss today? There''s a
newly opened dessert ce near the South Gate. I''ll treat you to your favorite strawberry cake, okay?”
"Sure, but you don''t have to treat me. Let me treat you instead!" Knowing that her friend was worried,
Amber gathered herself together and winked at Emma. "Soon, I''ll be the CEO''s wife. I can definitely
afford to treat my friend to a piece of cake!"
"Haha, whatever you say! Let me enjoy the benefits of being the best friend of a CEO''s wife then!"
Their happyughter was carried far and wide through the air…
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Having eaten the cake, Amber and Emma proceeded to head back to school to study. As they reached
a road, the green light came on. The two of them followed the flow of people on the marked crosswalk
to cross the road.
"Wow, isn''t that a Bentley? It looks extraordinary! Even the wheels seem to have more texture than
anyone else''s!"
As she walked, Emma signaled Amber to look at a car that was parked behind the marked crosswalk.
"What''s so special about a Bentley? Which is more powerful, a Bentley or a Ferrari?"
Amber looked in the same direction as Emma.
At once, she froze!
