Chapter 79 The Familiar Necklace
How did she know what to do? If she knew, she would not be so nervous now.
How exactly did Amber know that something would happen to the Garland family?
Makenna bit her lower lip and her eyes darkened as she looked in the direction of where
Amber left.
At this time, Amber had walked to the surgery with the help of Hayden.
The doctor in the surgery was surprised to see her, “Didn’t you come to change the dressing
last night, why are you here again now?”
Amber did not expect the doctor would recognize her, so she coughed a bit awkwardly, “Well,
I’m here to let you check my foot this time.”
“Check your foot?” The doctor bent down and looked at her feet.
Seeing her swollen ankle, he shook his head sympathetically, “Miss, you’re really plagued by disasters. The injury on your head hasn’t healed yet and your foot is injured like this. I advise you to go to the church to pray later.”
“Haha!” Hayden did not hold back and burst out laughing.
Amber was originally blushing upon hearing the doctor’s words and now when she heard his laughter, she was even angrier. She directly bent her elbow to hit him, “Shut up!”
“Ouch!” Hayden covered his waist in pain. His face was contorted, “What a woman, you did it
so forcefully.”
“Who allowed you to laugh at me?” Amber gave him a cold look.
He twitched his lips, “Okay, okay, I’m not laughing anymore, okay?”
Amber harrumphed and only then did she let him go.
When the doctor was applying ointment to Amber’s foot, Hayden did not forget to inquire about the Garland family.
When he learnt that the current head of the Garland family had been taken away by the discipline inspector and that other members of the Garland family were also being investigated, he slightly turned his head and looked at Amber with astonishment.
Even he also did not know that something would happen to the Garland family but this
woman actually knew in advance.
How strange.
Amber heard the contents of Hayden’s phone so she naturally knew exactly why he was looking at herself like that. Her lips curled into a smile, “You want to know how I’ve predicted something would happen to the Garland family, right?”
“Yeah.” Hayden nodded repeatedly, “Tell me about it.”
“No!” Amber smilingly responded with a word.
Hayden choked for a moment and then brazenly continued to move over and said smilingly, “Don’t be like that, at least I helped you when you confronted Makenna and the others.”
“That’s true.”
“So just tell me, what’s going on?”
Seeing that he truly wished to know, Amber did not tease him anymore and briefly told him the
matter, “Wasn’t Makenna kidnapped by someone? The person who kidnapped her seemed to be one of my suitors. Makenna then felt that I had asked that suitor to kidnap her so that I could get.
back at her.”
“Get back at her for this.” She pointed to the bandage on her head, “And in order to win back
Makenna’s dignity, Gigi used her identity as the daughter of the Garland family to get several major banks in Olkmore to reject my loan application.”
“Wait a minute, you mean Gigi used her own identity…” Hayden’s eyes widened with shock.
Amber nodded, “Yes.”
It took Hayden a while to calm down. He laughed mockingly twice, “I see. Meddling in the political affairs of other cities is an official taboo. Even her father also doesn’t dare to do so but. she actually dared. How dare she deceive her father, her father must be going to cry, right?”
Hearing his comical description, Amber smiled.
Hayden looked at her, “So it you reported this?”
Amber shook her head, “No, it was an employee of mine who has connections.”
“An employee with connections?” Suspicion flashed in Hayden’s eyes, “You’re really a lucky
one.”
Amber did not deny and just smiled indifferently, “Yes, my luck is indeed quite good.”
Since she took over Goldstone, although she had encountered many problems, each time she had been able to turn them into success because of the people around her.
Cole, Stella, Hayden and… Z. All these people had helped her a lot. How fortunate she was to
have met them.
“Since the Garland family had an incident this time, Gigi will certainly hold a grudge against Makenna. Makenna’s life won’t be easy. Gigi is a crazy woman,” Hayden said with a smile. The
gloating pleasure on his face was undisguised.
Amber’s lips curled. She did not say anything.
Makenna’s life would not be easy?
She did not think so. With Jared protecting her, Makenna would be just fine.
At this time, the doctor had already bandaged up Amber’s wound and even gave her two
crutches.
Amber refused Hayden’s assistance and slowly walked out of the hospital using the crutches
on her own.
When arriving at the parking lot, Amber saw a familiar face, Mrs. Gardner, who was talking to
the driver.
Mrs. Gardner seemed to notice that someone was looking at her. She stopped talking and
turned around with a thermal insulation box. Seeing that it was Amber, her originally elegant face with a smile suddenly turned cold and her eyes were even full of disgust.
Amber had seen a lot of such eyes. So naturally, she was not angry. She calmly walked towards the car using the crutches.
But when Amber walked past Mrs. Gardner, she caught a glimpse of the necklace Mrs.
Gardner was wearing.
The color on the necklace had faded and its style was vintage. It should be an old necklace from many years ago.
Being the hostess of the Gardner family, she actually wore such an outdated necklace. This was really surprising.
But what surprised Amber most was the familiarity this necklace brought her. She had
apparently seen it somewhere but she could not remember.
Amber did not think much about it, opened the car door and got in the car.
Hayden who was at the back greeted Mrs. Gardner.
Mrs. Gardner smiled at him and then asked, “Is Mr. Cohen very close to that person?”
Hayden knew who was she referring to and glanced towards Amber’s car, “Kind of. Since your ask me this, you seem to have something to tell me, Mrs. Gardner.”
“With all due respect, Mr. Cohen should stay away from that person. People with vicious minds will only bring misfortune to those around him,” Mrs. Gardner said in a tone that was full of unconcealed disgust.
Hayden’s lips curled, “Vicious minds? I don’t think so though. Why does Mrs. Gardner think she
is evil?”
“Makenna’s kidnap is a strong enough proof, isn’t it?” Mrs. Gardner frowned.
Hayden spread his hand, “But as far as I know, this matter was not done by Amber. Even if it
was, it was Makenna who harmed her first, she was just fighting back. The vicious one should be Makenna, isn’t it?”
“How could you…” Mrs. Gardner was so angry that her face darkened. Then, she coldly snorted, “I advised you to do so because Mr. Cohen is Jared’s friend. Since you don’t want to
listen, forget it. I hope Mr. Cohen won’t regret it in the future.”
Hayden responded smilingly, “Whether I regret it or not isn’t important. What is important is that I know Jared will regret it.”
He suddenly bent down, approached Mrs. Gardner and whispered, “Jared is blind and can’t
see through your daughter’s true colors, but I can see it clearly. Jared can’t be blind for life. He will know your daughter’s true colors one day. When the time comes, what should your daughter
do?”
Mrs. Gardner looked at him with eyes full of horror.
In Mrs. Gardner’s view, the smile on his face was like the devil’s.
Mrs. Gardner’s lips slightly twitched as if she was going to say something. But eventually, she did not utter anything. She grabbed tightly the handle of the thermal insulation box and walked away with a slightly pale face.
Watch Mrs. Gardner fleeing, Hayden stroked his chin and smiled even bigger, but his eyes
looked cold.

sake of Jared.
However, the Gardner family broke the rules. As an enterprise in Olkmore, they went to ask for the green light from the Garland family in South Riverside instead of the Cohen family. This simply indicated that they did not take the Cohens seriously at all. Thus, the Gardners should not blame Hayden for being disrespectful to them.
“What did you just say to her? How come she was so scared?” Amber asked curiously after Hayden got in the car.
