Chapter 46 Who's the Poor One?
Chapter 46 Who's the Poor One?
Logan trembled with fear. After hanging up the phone, he nimbly picked up his school bag and rushed
towards the door without the need for Amber to chase him out.
When he opened the door to leave, he turned around and warned Amber, "Since you have accepted
my gift, you must come to school on Saturday to help me! If you tell on me to my brother, I'll also tell
him that you slept with a toy boy right after divorcing him!"
Amber was rendered speechless.
Logan ran at the fastest speed in his life towards the south gate in exactly two minutes.
As soon as Logan reached the roadside, he saw Jared's car. Jared was smoking in the driver's seat
with a leisurely posture and smoke lingering around his fingertips.
Logan gasped while getting into the front seat. Then, he buckled his seat belt.
Jared glanced at him coldly and exuded an oppressive vibe. It made Logan lower his head and dared
not speak.
When the car hit the road and drove up steadily, Jared finally spoke, "Didn't I tell you not to come to
her? You didn't take my words seriously, did you?"
"I do not have any money with me…"
Jared sneered, "There are several hotels under the Farrell Group. Who doeesnt' know that you are the
second young master of the Farrell family?"
"I have an upset stomach lately, so I went to her to get some nourishment." Logan said stiffly, "Brother,
didn't you know that my sister-in-law cooks very well?"
At that moment, Logan realized that he had said it wrong, so he immediately corrected himself. "It
should be my ex-sister-in-law. Although you guys are divorced, it's not like I can't go to her place and
eat, right? Besides, she opened the door and cooked for me. I didn't ask for it."
Jared gave another sneer and obviously did not believe Logan's nonsense.
"Brother, actually, Amber is quite nice," Logan spoke cautiously.
Since he was counting on Amber to go to school to help him, he wanted to say a few more good words
for her in front of Jared. Besides, he genuinely thought that Amber was kind.
Sometimes, one could not just listen to other people's words to judge whether a person is good or not.
One must see to believe.
Seeing that Jared remained silent, Logan mustered up the courage to continue, "I heard that her
family's company is not doing very well. Brother, why don't you help her out? Or you can teach her how
to do business when you have time. When she divorced you, she did not ask for anything. Her life is
quite difficult…"
Logan had decided not to tell Jared that Amber used to have an online relationship with someone.
After all, who did not have a past?
"Does your face still hurt?" Jared interrupted him.
Logan licked the inside of his mouth. "It did hurt just now, but not anymore after she applied medicine
for me."
"When you get back, apologize to mom. Stop playing basketball and study hard too." Jared put his
hand on the car window. His expression was cold, "When I was sixteen, dad handed me a bunch of
things. He even wanted me to enter the Farrell Group and learn from the higher-ups."
Logan lowered his eyes. When he wanted to speak, Jared spoke before him. "Or do you want to go
abroad to study tomorrow?"
Logan dared not talk back to Jared at all. He only lowered his head and fell silent.

Amber did not take Logan's words to heart. She was busy with meetings and dealing with a bunch of
things.
When Cole had the time to come to Goldstone, she called on the group and had a meeting with him.
They analysed the acquisition of Maxmatch and finally came to an agreement.
If they were to properly reorganize Maxmatch, it could become a great help for Goldstone. Besides,
Amber could afford the purchase price.
However, many people were also looking for the owner of Maxmatch, as they wanted to buy out the
company. The owner of Maxmatch got so annoyed that he went on a trip abroad in December and had
not returned ever since. He also did not answer his phone, so it was hard to get in touch with him.
Amber had been busy looking for relations to get in touch with the owner recently. However, she failed
to do so.
She was frustrated. However, several phone calls came in the morning. All of them were from Logan.
He asked her what time she would arrive at his school.
She directly blocked his contact number.
Later on, Logan called her on the school landline. Not only was he not arrogant at all, but he even
pleaded a little. "When my brother came to fetch me back that night, I even said good words about you
in front of him. Can't you help me once?"
"I am begging you. if you do not come, my life will be over."
Amber was angry but found him funny at the same time.
‘He is just a sixteen-year-old kid who has just started his life. Just because he can't play basketball, he
feels that his life is hopeless?'
She mercilessly hung up the phone and ignored him. However, when she finished her work and took a
break, she remembered the humble tone of Logan when he called. Her heart softened a bit.
She had known Logan for so long. This was her first time seeing him begging someone to such an
extent, except for Jared.
"Boss, are you busy?" Stella knocked on the open door and walked in, "My grandmother is not well. I
would like to apply for three days off to go back and see her."
Stella words somewhat reminded Amber of Lady Georgia.
After divorcing Jared, Amber also broke off contact with Lady Georgia. Hence, Amber wondered if she
was in good health.
"Okay, if you are in a hurry, you can leave today. I have granted it." Amber said, "If you want to stay at
home for a few more days, you can make up the leave application when you return."
Stella's eyes lit up. "Wow, that is very nice of you, Ms. Reed. You are beautiful and kind-hearted!"
However, after getting her to leave of absence approved, Stella did not rush to leave. Instead, she told
Amber, "Ms. Reed, I have a friend whose family is very poor and works three jobs every day. I want to
help him but don't want to hurt his self-esteem. Can you help him out?"
"How old is he, and what can he do?" Amber asked, "If he does not have any skills, he can work in
Goldstone as a security guard. I will pay him a higher salary."
Stella and Cole were alumni of the same institution. If Amber could help out Stella's friend, she would
be willing to do so.
"I 've made all the arrangements. All I need is your approval, Ms. Reed." Stella spoke with a smile, "Let
him be your driver. You can call him whenever you need a ride. I'll pay for his salary."
Amber indeed needed a driver to drive her around occasionally. "Alright, I will pay for his salary. After
all, your income is not high."
"It is okay. I have a house." Stella waved her hand and spoke in an unconcerned manner, "The house
in the city can sell for a lot of money. It will be enough to pay him a year's salary."
Amber froze and asked, "Is this the only house you have or…"
"I have many houses and also a few villas," Stella held her chin and tried to recall. "My mother was the
one who bought them. But I have forgotten which ones she bought. Ms. Reed, would you like to buy
one? I can sell you a villa at a 90% discount. What do you think?"
Amber rubbed her forehead in despair and got struck speechless.
She was worrying about Stella having low income just now. It turned out that Stella only got a job here
to gain some life experience. Amber was the poor one.
Since Amber had to go to Logan's school later, she gave her car keys to Stella and asked her to call
her friend to come over and drive her there later.
About fifteen minutes later, Stella called, "Ms. Reed, he is here and is waiting for you downstairs.
Please be cautious when you talk to him. Do not let him see through anything."
"Got it."
Amber packed up and left the company. When she saw her car, she went over, opened the rear door
and went into it.
"You are Stella's friend, right?" Amber asked while looking up. She was about to tell the driver where
she wanted to go. The driver also happened to turn around to look at her with a smile.
The two looked at each other for a moment. Hayden waved at her, "Hi, Ms. Reed."
