Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 101

After Reece’s call, Remington immediately flew to South City. The first thing Old Master did after arriving in South City was to ask his bodyguards to treat Amber and Ashton to a meal.

The old man was really angry. Last time, he felt a little guilty about Amber when he let Amber retreat because of difficulties. But he didn’t expect that she would play tricks with him and provoke Elliot again. Since she didn’t want to give him face, he shouldn’t blame her for being ruthless. He had already thought of a way to deal with Amber.

Amber was taken to the hotel private room in front of Ashton. When she saw the grim-faced old man, she immediately understood why he was here. She was about to explain that she had nothing to do with Elliot when Ashton was taken to the private room.

“Uncle, why are you here?” Amber got up and stopped Ashton. “Uncle, there’s nothing for you to do here. You go back first. I’ll make it clear to the Old Master.”

“I invited him here.” Remington slowly picked up the teacup and drank tea. He didn’t even look at Ashton. “Miss. Stone didn’t take what I said to Miss. Stone to heart. I want to share it with you, Miss. Stone.”

“Alright! I was just about to talk to the old tutor about this matter!” Ashton stepped forward. “How have you been, old tutor?”

Remington, who was holding a cup of tea and drinking water, suddenly looked up when he heard this. When he saw Ashton’s appearance, his face was full of surprise and disbelief. Because the cup in his hand tilted in surprise, and the water in the cup flowed on his clothes.

Amber was very surprised that the old man had lost his composure. Ashton took a step forward and took the cup from the old man’s hand and placed it on the table. He turned his head and ordered Amber, “Amber, go out first. I’ll talk to the old man!”

“Uncle, I won’t leave. I’ll stay with you!” Amber was unwilling to leave. Remington had been in the business world for decades and was proficient in all kinds of means. Ashton had been growing up in the house. He was simple-minded and did not know how to scheme. How could he be a match for the Old Master?

The most important thing was that she was the one who caused this. She had to deal with it.

Ashton smiled faintly. He grabbed a piece of tissue and helped dry the tea on his body. “Don’t worry. I’m not that cowardly.”

The old man also came to his senses and immediately returned to normal. His voice was completely different from before. It was less overbearing and sounded much softer. “Miss. Stone, you go back first. I have something to say to your uncle.”

Seeing that Amber was not leaving, he raised his voice and ordered the bodyguards, “Send Miss. Stone back!”

Elliot also rushed over when he received the news. “Grandpa, if there’s anything, come at me. It has nothing to do with them.”

“Elliot, you came at the right time. Take Miss. Stone to dinner. I have something to say to Mr. Stone.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry. Grandpa won’t eat Mr. Stone.”

“That’s right. The lordmaster won’t eat me. Don’t worry, go eat.” Ashton chimed in as well.

Elliot took Amber away and left. The door of the box was closed. Remington stared at Ashton. He was really surprised. He never dreamed that Ashton was not Ashton. “What the hell is going on? How did you become Ashton?”

“It’s a long story.” Ashton sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of tea. His movements were elegant to the extreme, and his previous timid look could not be seen at all. “Not long after I returned to South City, the real Ashton died of illness. At that time, everyone was looking for my whereabouts. I was very annoyed, so I used Ashton’s identity to survive.”

“No wonder I couldn’t find you. I see.” The old man sighed deeply. “Why do you have to do this? Is it worth it for a woman?”

“It’s worth it!” Ashton replied. “Life is short. I only pursue what I think.”

“Hey! A talented designer like this is your pursuit?” The old man shook his head with a look of regret on his face. He had completely forgotten the purpose of finding Ashton.

Ashton smiled faintly. “Lordmaster, let’s get back to business.”

“You’re not the real Ashton. What’s the use of telling you?”

“To Amber, I’m her uncle, and I’m used to Ashton’s identity. You don’t have to worry about it.”

“How can I not be afraid?” The old man sighed. “Your appearance shocked me so much that I forgot what I was going to do tonight.”

“In that case, let me talk about it first. Old Master, we are acquaintances. I hope you won’t stop us from talking about Amber and Elliot.”

The old tutor let out a bitter laugh. “Ashton, you and I can be said to be old friends. I naturally won’t reject your request, but Amber is Ashley’s child. If Elliot knows Amber’s identity, this relationship…”

“Can’t we just tell them the truth? There are only a few people who know about this matter. If we don’t tell them, Elliot won’t know.”

“But paper can’t hold fire. Can this matter be hidden for a lifetime?” The old tutor felt that this wasn’t realistic.

“I know paper can’t keep fire, but Elliot has been wandering for so many years and finally found a woman he likes. Old Master, how can you bear to see your grandson sad? I’m an experienced person. To be honest, I think love can surpass everything. Reece and I are examples. We know that it’s impossible, but we insist on pursuing it. We don’t hesitate to bleed. Do you want to see Elliot become like us?”

Ashton tried to persuade him. “Furthermore, Elliot probably doesn’t know that Reece left the mother and son behind for the sake of incense. After all, there’s Itzel standing in his way right now. Elliot won’t suspect anything.”

“I…” The old man naturally did not want to see his grandson become the same as his son. However, when he thought of how his grandson, whom he had high hopes for, would be together with a woman who was divorced and had children, he felt very upset. However, Elliot’s character was not the kind of person who was submissive. If he was provoked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“I know what’s on your mind. I didn’t ask you to support them to be together. I just hope that you won’t stop them. If Amber and Elliot are fated to be together, how can you stop them from being together? On the other hand, it’s useless even if you tie them together with ropes. Do you understand?”

Ashton meant that it was up to fate. The old tutor was silent for a while before finally nodding. “I promise you that I won’t stop them. It’s all up to fate!”

“Many thanks, Old Master!” Ashton cupped his hands in thanks.

Although Elliot ordered dinner with Amber, they were not in the mood to eat. They had been paying attention to the movements in the box. Finally, the door of the box opened, and Ashton and the old man came out one after the other.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Both of them looked calm and emotionless. Elliot went up to them with Amber. Ashton said first, “Amber, send your uncle back!” Then, he turned to say goodbye to Remington and Elliot politely.

Amber helped Ashton out of the hotel. After getting in the car, he looked at Ashton with concern. “Uncle, did the old man say something unpleasant to you? I’m sorry!”

“No, Remington is a well-educated elder. He didn’t say anything unpleasant to me,” Ashton replied.

Amber didn’t believe it. “Uncle, I’ll make it clear to the Old Master. It’s my fault that it has nothing to do with you. Ask him not to disturb you in the future.”

“Amber, we’ve made it clear. Old Master heard of your experience and sympathized with you. He said that he would no longer oppose you being with Elliot. So if you like Elliot, you can rest assured. No one will disturb you in the future!”

Amber was a little surprised. She didn’t believe that her uncle could convince Remington not to object to her being with Elliot. But now, even if Remington didn’t object, she was not in the mood to start a relationship. After all, her son was still ill. As a mother, how could she not care about her son’s safety and fall in love with him?

“Uncle, I won’t like anyone anymore. I only care about Mel’s safety now. It doesn’t matter to me about other things.”

“Don’t worry. Good people are destined! Mel will be fine.” Ashton comforted him. “Uncle feels that Elliot is not bad. You can try to be with him.”

Amber naturally knew that Elliot was not bad, but did Elliot have to know that his mother was the woman he hated the most. Would he still like her? “Uncle, I have something to ask you. Did mom fall in love with Elliot’s father?”

“How did you know?” Ashton looked at Amber in surprise.

“Did Elliot’s father abandon his wife and son all because of his mother?”

“You can’t say that.” Ashton’s refusal made Amber’s heart sink to the bottom. Elliot didn’t even forgive his father. How could he forgive her? And how could she have the face to like Elliot?

On the other side, Elliot helped the old man get in the car and said, “Grandpa, I’m telling you very seriously that everything between Amber and me is my own initiative. It’s the result of my careful consideration. You know my character. Since you’ve made up your mind, you’ll do it. I hope you won’t disturb Ashton and Amber in the future.”

Remington sighed in his heart. If Elliot knew that Amber was the child of the woman he hated the most, would he still stick to his original intention?

He suddenly felt that his grandson was very pitiful. He finally fell in love with a woman, but she was the daughter he hated most. If he knew this, he would not know how sad he was.

“Forget it. Just do as Ashton said. It’s all up to fate!” He thought to himself. “Elliot, I won’t meddle in your private affairs in the future. I only hope that you focus on your work. I hope that you won’t disappoint me!”

This meant that he wouldn’t stop him from dating Amber. Elliot couldn’t believe that the old man would change his mind like this. “Grandpa, you’re not having a fever, are you?”

“Boy, do you know how to curse grandpa like this?”

“That’s good! That’s good!” Elliot’s face was full of joy. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I never dare to be careless when it comes to work. Just wait and see the result!”

When he heard that the old man had arrived, Rodney was secretly delighted. The old man must have come to stop Elliot and Amber. If the old man intervened again, Remington would soon cry, wouldn’t he?

However, it didn’t develop as Rodney expected. Remington stayed in South City for a few days and left without doing anything.

The development of the matter surprised Rodney. The Old Master’s departure was very clear because he acquiesced in the relationship between Elliot and Amber.

It was easy to imagine the result without any resistance between Amber and Elliot. Rodney found that he felt as uncomfortable as a cat’s paw in his heart. He was engaged to Celia, and there was no need for him to care about who Amber was with. However, he had never let go of Amber in his heart. He was sure that he could not watch Amber and other men fly together.

It seemed that Elliot knew that the Old Master’s visit to South City was caused by Rodney, so he didn’t hesitate to show his respect to him. He sneered at him in person, played tricks in secret, and even used the beauty’s scheme.

Rodney was completely immune to beauties, so the beauties that Elliot had sent over were all taken away by him. Although Elliot did not succeed, his repeated use of this method made Rodney extremely annoyed.

It was beyond his expectations that this Elliot would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Of course, in his dreams, Rodney would never have thought that Elliot sending a beauty to seduce him had nothing to do with revenge. Instead, he wanted to steal sperm for Amber.

Elliot also had a headache when he saw that Rodney was not fooled. Wasn’t this Mr. Barron just a fishy cat? Why didn’t he work even once when he sent so many beauties to seduce them?

“Looks like I’ll have to make a big deal of it, but how can I make it?” Elliot was racking his brain when Amber sent him an invitation to the tenth time of the Han’s banquet. When he saw that the venue of the banquet was at a high-end hotel, Elliot frowned and instantly had an idea.
