Love Letters From My EX

The attorney told Amber that even if she appealed, the second and the third trials would only uphold the verdict of the first trial, so the appeal wouldn’t make any difference.

“That is infuriating!” Cole punched the seat.

Jeremy remained silent and lowered his head, deep in thought.

After Makenna was taken down, Trenton and Mrs. Gardner also left.

Seeing Amber, Trenton and Mrs. Gardner gave a smug look.

Mrs. Gardner even wanted to walk up to Amber and laugh at her face.

Mrs. Gardner had thought Makenna would be sentenced to jail, so she had went to ask so many people for help, and got rejected and cold shoulders for countless times.

An hour ago, Amber and Jared even looked at her like she’s some disgusting garbage, which infuriated Mrs. Gardner.

But now, Mrs. Gardner was at ease. Instead, Amber was in a fury.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gardner caressed Makenna’s head and gave a proud smile to Amber.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Amber clenched her fists, looking at Mrs. Gardner coldly and then at Makenna.

Makenna lowered her head, so Amber couldn’t see Makenna’s expression. However, Amber could feel that Makenna was proud as well.

After the Gardners left the court, Amber began to wait for Luis Evans’ trial.

Compared with Makenna, what Luis did was outrageous. He splashed sulfuric acid over Amber.

Makenna was good at playing in the shadows.

But Luis was different. He directly attacked Amber, so he was sentenced to three years in jail.

The others who sent funeral wreaths and knives to threaten Amber were either detained or criticized.

As for those mercenary accounts and media, they not only spread rumors about Amber but also went against other laws. Their verdicts were suspended because they have to be sentenced separately from this incident of Amber.

Amber was not interested in this, as long as those mercenary accounts and media would get what they deserved.

Walking out of the court, Amber looked up at the sky. The sky was smoky, so it would be raining.

Cole also looked up and said, “It is said that it will be a clear day when justice prevails, but it is a rainy day…”

“Amber, are you alright?” Jeremy looked at Amber with a worried look.

Amber pursed her lips and forced a smile. “I’m fine. Although the verdict is not what I wanted, Makenna won’t dare to harm me anymore. At least she will behave herself. That is not bad.”

Amber was pretending to be happy, but Cole and Jeremy looked at each other and said nothing.

After a few seconds, Cole said, “What about canceling the celebration banquet?”

Jeremy nodded in agreement.

Amber wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t say anything.

She found that she was not as fine with the verdict as she thought.

Otherwise, she would have been in the mood to hold the celebration banquet.

They walked silently to the parking space near the road.

As soon as they got to the car, a group of reporters rushed over.

“Miss Reed, what do you think of the verdict on Makenna?”

“Miss Reed, are you satisfied with it?”

Amber lowered her eyes with a cold face, ignoring the reporters.

Jeremy and Cole were even angrier.

They drove the reporters away while escorting Amber into the car.

After a lot of hard work, Jeremy and Cole finally broke free of the crowd, got into the car, and drove away quickly.

On the way, Cole saw the reporters, who were following them, through the rearview mirror and banged on the steering wheel angrily. “Damn it. These reporters are such a pain in the ass!”

“Enough, just be quiet.” Jeremy looked at Amber, who was sitting in the back seat with her eyes closed, and said in an annoyed tone.

Cole realized that, so he glanced at Amber and became quiet.

Everyone in the car was silent, while the mood was very subdued.

In the building of the Farrell Group, Jared had just sent the partners away. Jared walked out of the reception room and headed to his office.

Ben was waiting for Jared at the door. Seeing Jared, Ben said with mixed feelings in his eyes, “Mr. Farrell, Makenna’s trial is over.”

Jared’s eyes darkened. “How many years was she sentenced to?”

“Five years’ probation.” Ben adjusted his glasses and replied with some regret.

Jared stopped pushing the door and turned around. “Seriously? Five years’ probation?”

“Yes, Makenna didn’t cause any substantial harm to Miss Reed, and Makenna is sick, so she gets probation and has to give one million to Miss Reed in compensation for Miss Reed’s reputation. She is also sentenced to give five million to the Goldstone Group,” Ben said.

Jared sneered. “The verdict is too good for Makenna!”

“According to the law, we have no choice. I have consulted our legal department after watching the live broadcast, but I get the same answer.” Ben sighed.

Jared pursed his lips.

After a while, Jared narrowed his eyes. “Keep an eye on Makenna and set a trap for her.”

Makenna got away with being in jail.

Then Jared decided to personally put her in jail.

Ben had served Jared for so many years, so he got what Jared implied. “Mr. Farrell, do you want Makenna to break the law during her probation?”

“Yes.” Jared nodded.

Ben’s eyes sparkled. “I see, I will find an opportunity to do it.”

Jared hummed and waved. “Go where you’re needed.”

After Ben left, Jared took out his mobile phone and called Amber.

Jared knew that Amber wanted Makenna to be in jail.

Amber must be in a bad mood about the verdict.

The connection was quickly made. Amber took her phone and answered the call. “Mr. Farrell, what can I do for you?”

Amber pressed the phone against her shoulder with her head and entered the password on the door of her apartment. In a low mood, she kept making mistakes, which irritated her even more.

When Jared heard it, his voice softened. “I’ve heard the result of the trial.”

“Well. Are you trying to laugh at me?” Amber bent down, concentrated, and entered the password again.

This time, she managed it.

The door opened. Amber walked in, put off her shoes, went into the living room barefoot, and slumped onto the sofa, exhausted both physically and mentally.

Hearing this, Jared frowned. “Why do you think I want to laugh at you?”

“Don’t tell me you care about me.” Amber sneered.

Jared replied, “Yes, I know you are in a bad mood, so…”

“Shut up!” Amber looked at the ceiling blankly. “I don’t need your concern, and I’ve got through the period when I needed it.”

When Amber needed Jared, he never showed up. And even if he was not absent, he ignored her.

But now, Amber had so many friends who cared about her, so she didn’t need Jared anymore.

Jared was upset by her words.

He clenched his phone and said in a guilty tone, “I’m sorry, Amber. I…”

“Well, that was a long time ago. Is there anything else? If you’ll excuse me, I need to hang up the phone.” Amber couldn’t help rubbing her sore temples.

For some reason, Amber felt very groggy. She put one hand on her forehead and found she didn’t have a fever.
