Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 35

Elliot soon received the news that Amber had been attacked. He immediately ordered the public relations team to settle it, deleting the offensive posts, and also blocking the accounts that had been paid to post offensively. However, the impact of this matter had been expanded.

Everyone demanded Amber to give a direct response. Walter suggested for Amber to clarify herself, but Elliot shook his head. Seeing such a vicious attack, a man like him could not stand it, let alone a woman.

It was better not to tell Amber about this matter and to settle it privately.

Elliot called Noemi, who naturally knew about these negative comments as well. She was having a meeting with the public relations team of the TV station, discussing how to deal with the aftermath.

Picking up Elliot’s call, she angrily told him all about how Amber was bullied by her mother-in-law, how her husband cheated on her, impregnated the mistress, and how she was kicked out without a penny.

Elliot was very surprised and shocked. He never dreamed that Amber had actually been bullied like this. He was so mad. So he asked Noemi about the names of the evil mother-in-law and the jerk.

Of course, Noemi refused to say it. So Elliot had to give up. However, he already had an idea to help Amber clear her name. On that day, a post appeared on the Internet that helped Amber to clear things up.

The post was written in a very touching manner. It reported all about how Amber was bullied by an evil mother-in-law, cheated on by a jerk, and kicked out penniless.

Not only did Elliot help Amber to clarify, but he also got someone to find out those who attacked Amber online and sued them.

The websites that reposted offensive posts towards Amber had received summons from the court. The major websites and forums naturally did not dare to go against Elliot. They all deleted the previous offensive posts and replaced it with an apology statement, stating that the previous posts were all unsupported and that there were no factual basis.

The situation was suddenly reversed. The online attackers who posted the posts were wanted by the police. All of them were frightened and went far away to hide themselves. Celia’s offensive plan was declared as a failure.

The situation had reversed. The netizens were furious concerning Amber’s past. Especially the female netizens, who were all condemning the evil mother-in-law, the jerk, and the shameless mistress on the Internet.

The scoldings were far more intense than the previous attack on Amber. Celia had a decent ability in resisting and adjusting to stress, but she was so angry after reading the comments that she couldn’t bring herself to eat anything.

Shannon comforted her and said, “We should learn to let go. Let’s think of another way.”

Celia was also one who does not give up easily. After being depressed for a day, she came up with another idea.

Although she was not happy to see the changes in the current situation, but it was not necessarily bad for her. Because Amber had brought up the past, many netizens were cursing the evil mother-in-law, the jerk, and the mistress all day long. As the mistress, she had survived it.

But it may not be necessarily the same for the jerk and the evil mother-in-law. Back then, the evil mother-in-law and the mistress were not innocent, but the jerk was innocent.

If Rodney saw that he was indirectly mentioned and scolded terribly, he would definitely be crazy angry. So would Rachel. She had to tell Rachel about this matter. With Rachel’s personality, she would definitely hate Amber so much if she knew that she herself had suffered such a great insult.

With Rachel in the way, it would be nothing more than a daydream if Amber wanted to return to Rodney.

Celia immediately told Rachel about it as if she was wronged. Rachel was so angry that she almost fainted.

Rachel had always regarded herself as a noble woman, and the people she was in contact with never said swear words. However, the netizens were not noble women or virtuous ladies. They would swear and curse when they encountered unhappy things.

Seeing the netizens curse the evil mother-in-law and the jerk, “That old woman should go to hell! The son of the jerk and the mistress will be defected!” Rachel was so angry that she was gasping for breath.

She immediately called Rodney. “Rodney, look at how we’ve been defamed out there. Quick, make Amber shut up!”

In the past few days, Rodney had been busy with an outstation project. He had just returned to South City today, so he naturally had no energy to pay attention to entertainment gossips.

Seeing that his mother had angrily called to tell him about this, he turned on his computer and went on the Internet to have a look. As soon as he saw it, he was furious.

How could this woman be so wicked? How could she treat him like this? Rodney was fuming, he grabbed his coat and rushed out of the office.

After Amber got off work, Elliot brought her along to meet a client. They only got to go home around 11 o’clock. Although Elliot was quite drunk, he insisted on sending her home.

He called for a designated driver at the hotel and sent Amber to the apartment entrance before telling the driver to turn around. Amber also drank some wine and was a little dizzy. After watching Elliot’s car leave, she turned around and was ready to go upstairs. The staircase was dark and the lights had long malfunctioned. As soon as she stepped on the old stairs, a hand suddenly reached out from the darkness and grabbed her.

Amber was greatly shocked. She widened her mouth and wanted to shout for help, but a hand covered her lips in time.

Even though she was a little drunk, the familiar scent allowed Amber to instantly guess who had caught her. “Rodney Barron, let me go!”

Rodney had been waiting for her for a few hours here and had long been filled with anger. When he saw Elliot send Amber back, he was even angrier.

During the few hours of waiting in the car, he had turned on the computer and was clear about everything that was on the Internet. It was all because of Amber’s blind date. If she hadn’t participated in that d*mn blind date show, such a thing wouldn’t have happened.

It was ridiculous that he had become a jerk. During their marriage, his mother was indeed tough on her. He knew that and he felt really bad for Amber. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have been so mistreated.

His mother was the kind of traditional-minded person. Although her words were harsh, she was not the kind of person who was extremely bad.

His father passed away at a young age, and it wasn’t easy for his mother to take care of the company and raise him at the same time during all those years. To their family, it was important to have descendants. The Barron family only had one son in each generation for several years. After knowing that Amber couldn’t give birth, his mother was very disappointed. He knew that his mother was did not treat Amber well. He felt sorry for Amber, but he couldn’t cut off his mother.

That was his mother who had given birth to him and raised him up. He really could not choose between love and kinship. He could only be caught in a dilemma.

But there’s no way for him to abandon his mother. It was one thing to say and another thing to do. If he could abandon even his own mother, was he still a human?

It was understandable that Amber hated his mother, but on what basis that she called him a jerk? He had never betrayed her! Never! How could she be so self-righteous?

Amber was struggling, Rodney dragged Amber outside without saying a word. It was dark around the apartment. Rodney had been here too many times, so he was already familiar with the way.

Although Amber was drunk, she knew very well that she didn’t want to have anything to do with this man. So she struggled desperately, scratching him with her hands, and kicking him.

Her lack of cooperation had caused Rodney to bump into the walls on both sides for several times. Seeing that she was not obedient, he carried her in his arms and moved forward. Soon, Amber was carried out of the apartment corridor by Rodney.

Pulling open the car door, Rodney pushed Amber into the car. He squeezed his way in as well.

“Mr. Barron, what the hell is wrong with you?” Amber glared at him fiercely.

“Why did you let someone defame me?”

“Defame you?” Amber was baffled. When did she ever defamed him? “Are you out of your mind?”

“Don’t deny it! Do you dare to say that it wasn’t you who released those contents online?” Rodney stared at her.

Amber was so busy today that she didn’t even look at any discussions on the Internet. However, Noemi did call up to tell her that someone was attacking her online and the matter had been settled. It seemed that the comments on the Internet that Rodney was talking about was done by Noemi.

There was no difference between whether she or Noemi did it. Amber sneered and said, “Mr. Barron, can’t you tell me clearly? What did I defame about you?”

“Are you still playing dumb?” Rodney grabbed her hard by the shoulder. “Amber Stone, if you dared to do it, then have the guts to admit it. Do you need others to remind you of what you’ve done?”

“Rodney Barron, I don’t need you to remind me of what I’ve done. I, Amber Stone, did nothing unrighteous. If you think I was wrong, you can just sue me for slander!”

Amber rarely saw Rodney lose his temper. Seeing him out-of-control, she knew that Noemi must have done something earth-shattering.

She could not let Rodney know that it was Noemi who did it. Rodney was not a person who could be easily messed with. If he found out that it was Noemi who did it, he would definitely not spare Noemi. She must bear all the consequences by herself.

“How dare you be so self-righteous?” Rodney gritted his teeth and his hands continued to exert force. “You’re hurting me!” Amber cried out in pain. “Mr. Barron, say what you want to say properly. Take your dirty hands off me!”

Seeing that Amber was frowning, he let go of her. She reached out to touch her sore shoulder. He stared at her with a deep gaze. “Amber Stone, was the reason you joined the blind date show just to attack me?” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“Attack you?” Amber found it a little funny. “Mr. Barron, you think too highly of yourself, do you? Do you think that I’m the kind of person who can’t let things go? I’m telling you, I have my own bottom line in doing things. Even if I have to die, I won’t have any interest in an unfaithful jerk who once hurt me. You don’t have to worry about this!”

This was the first time she had uttered in his face about him cheating on her. When Celia had a miscarriage in the hospital, Rodney had asked his lawyer to bring her a divorce agreement. She did not refute or questioned any of the harsh conditions, and had signed them without hesitation. He thought that she had never cared.

After three years, when he heard the words, “unfaithful jerk” from her mouth, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He controlled himself and said, “Amber Stone, I’ve never cheated on you. I’m telling you, I didn’t have an affair! I didn’t do anything inappropriate with Celia!”

“What’s the point of saying all these things now?” Amber sneered. Celia even got pregnant, but he said that they actually never slept together. Did he think she was a fool?
