Chasing My Rejected Wife
Chapter 102

The Hanks Group was a well-known company in South City. The tenth reception would definitely be held in a very grand manner. Many people would be invited to the reception, and Mr. Barron would take the time to attend it tonight.

The VIP hotel was the territory of the Hammond family. As long as he greeted Pierce, he could act. This time, he wanted to let Mr. Barron know how powerful he was.

At the same time, he also received an invitation from the Han family. He had to attend the tenth birthday party of the Han family no matter what, but he didn’t want to attend it at all. There must be Elliot at such a banquet. Thinking of Elliot and Amber showing off all over the place, he didn’t feel happy.

The secretary didn’t know that he was annoyed and asked him in a gentle voice, “Mr. Barron, do you want me to inform Ms. Black?”

Rodney didn’t want to take Celia to attend at all, but it would be unreasonable if he didn’t bring Celia on such a big occasion. After all, they were an unmarried couple now. He sighed heavily and said, “Call her!”

At seven o’clock in the evening, Elliot took Amber’s hand and entered the banquet hall. Amber was wearing a shoulder-length dress today. His long hair was wrapped behind his head, and his slender and white legs attracted countless people’s attention.

When he saw Elliot appear with his arm around Amber’s waist, Rodney’s gaze could not help but be drawn to it. As soon as Elliot entered, he used his gaze to search the hall.

Glancing at the figures of Rodney and Celia, he showed an evil smile. He lowered his voice and whispered in Amber’s ear, “I have prepared a generous gift for him tonight. I hope he will be satisfied.”

“What do you want to do?” Amber was very curious.

“Don’t you think tonight is a perfect opportunity?” Elliot winked at Amber.

“Tonight?” Amber immediately understood what Elliot was going to do. She lowered her voice and said, “His fiancee is here. It’s not good for him to act.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already made the necessary arrangements!” Elliot said as he led Amber over to Rodney. They greeted each other politely as if they had never had any grudges.

Celia was wearing a top-cut and floor-length dress tonight. She was tall, and the dress vividly outlined her sexiness. Elliot’s evil eyes swept over Celia a few times, and he said with a faint smile, “Mr. Barron’s good news is coming soon, isn’t it?”

The man surnamed Qin did it on purpose. Rodney glanced at Amber subconsciously. Amber had a smile on his face, but there was no trace of displeasure in his expression. He felt a little stifled in his heart, so he nodded.

“Don’t forget to send an invitation when the time comes.” Elliot naturally saw the way Rodney looked at Amber and added.

“When the time comes, I will definitely invite you, Mr. Thomson,” Celia said with a smile.

During this period of time, someone familiar came in. Elliot ended the topic and chatted with the others enthusiastically. Riley, the third son of the Han family, also came over with a female star.

Riley had a good relationship with Elliot. When he heard Elliot’s question about Rodney and Celia, he interrupted, “Mr. Barron and Miss Herrera are about to get married. Brother Wang, don’t be idle. Hurry up and propose to Miss. Stone to get a beauty.”

“Isn’t the beauty in my arms?” Elliot held Amber’s waist tightly and looked at Rodney provocatively. Although there was a faint smile on Rodney’s face, he wished that he could break Elliot’s claws when he held Amber.

A waiter came over with a glass of wine. Elliot reached out and took two glasses of wine. One was for Amber, and the other was for himself. Rodney also reached out to take two glasses and handed one of them to Celia. At this time, the waiter suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground. The wine in the tray was scattered on Rodney and Celia.

Celia’s face was covered with wine, and her hair was also wet. The snow-white gift was stained with red, which looked shocking. Rodney was slightly better, but his suit was also stained with wine stains. His face was a little ugly, but he didn’t lose his temper in the end because of the occasion.

Hearing the noise, Elliot turned around and looked at it with some gloating. Riley’s face changed and he glared at the waiter. “How did you do it? Such a mess happened at this time?”

The manager of the hotel came over in a hurry and apologized to Rodney with an apologetic look. “Mr. Barron, I’m sorry!”

Elliot said slowly, “What can I change if I’m sorry? Look at what Ms. Black has become.”

Being stared at by so many people, Celia lost all her face. Naturally, she didn’t want to stay at all. So she looked at Rodney and said, “Rodney…” She meant to let Rodney send her home.

Riley was also very angry, but his anger couldn’t change anything. Rodney had a special identity, so he couldn’t leave just like that. He looked at Elliot and said, “Elliot, do you have a spare suit in your car? Can you change it for Mr. Barron?”

Everyone knew that there was a suit in Elliot’s car. The key was that his figure was about the same as Rodney’s. Elliot was smiling.

“Yes, I just bought a suit and put it in the car a few days ago. I haven’t worn it yet. Mr. Barron, you can put it on!” After saying that, he took a meaningful look at Celia.

“I also have a dress in my car. If Ms. Black doesn’t mind, you can change it as well! I just don’t know whether it fits the size or not.”

Elliot’s spare dress in the car must have been prepared for those young models and stars. Celia thought that she was noble, so how could she wear it? So she refused. “Thank you, Mr. Thomson. I’d better go back and change clothes.”

Riley apologized repeatedly and ordered the driver to take Celia home. Since Riley had come forward to replace a suit for Rodney, he had to give him face. The key point was that he felt that the waiter’s behavior was a little strange.

Looking at Elliot’s cheeky smile, it was possible that he did it on purpose. He wanted to see what Elliot wanted to do, so he didn’t choose to go to the hotel suite to change Elliot’s suit.

The banquet continued. After Rodney changed his clothes, he returned to the banquet. Riley came to toast him again and said some words of apology. Naturally, it was not easy for him to refuse, so he drank a glass of wine.

Later, someone tried to persuade him not to refuse with his stomach. Most of the people who attended the banquet knew that Rodney’s stomach was not very good, so no one tried to persuade him. However, Elliot did not care about this. He smiled and walked over to Rodney with a glass of wine in his hand. “I’m happy today. Let me propose a toast to Mr. Barron.”

Rodney did not take the wine glass from his hand. Instead, he looked at him coldly. “I wonder what Mr. Thomson is happy about?”

“Mr. Barron, are you willing to listen to me?” Elliot actually sat down beside Rodney. “Mr. Barron and Ms. Black are very happy!”

“Mr. Thomson and I are just acquaintances. I don’t understand why you’re so happy.” Rodney retorted.

“I’ll tell you if you don’t understand.” Elliot was still smiling. “After Mr. Barron and Ms. Black get married, we are relatives. Isn’t it okay for us to be unhappy?”

“Mr. Thomson, you must be drunk, right?” Rodney naturally knew what his so-called relative meant. He was extremely unhappy. “As far as I know, Mr. Thomson has nothing to do with the Black family. I don’t know where this relative came from.”

“You are such a man. Don’t you understand such a simple reason? Although Ms. Black belongs to Xiaosa, she is still the son of Mr. Black. Although Amber does not admit it, Amber is her sister in b***d. You are a mistress man, and I am Amber’s boyfriend. So you should call me brother-in-law at least.”

“Elliot, shut up!” Rodney glared at him fiercely.

“Why don’t you drink it? What’s wrong with you?” Amber came over. “What’s wrong with you?”

“I said congratulations to Mr. Barron and Ms. Black. Mr. Barron is unhappy.”

“It must be that you don’t know how to talk.” Amber took the wine glass from Elliot’s hand. “Mr. Barron, please don’t argue with Elliot. You and Ms. Black are about to get married soon. I haven’t congratulated you yet. Take this glass of wine as a gift from me.”

Amber handed the wine to Rodney, but he didn’t take it. He just stared at Amber. Amber looked at him and smiled like a flower. “Mr. Barron and Ms. Black, how lucky you are! Love is eternal!”

The corners of Rodney’s lips curled into a smile. He reached out to take the wine glass from Amber’s hand and said, “I’d rather accept your offer. Thank you very much, Miss. Stone!” Then, he raised his neck and took a swig of the wine in his glass.

Seeing that Amber and Elliot looked at each other after drinking, joy appeared in their eyes. Rodney waved his hand, and a waiter came over with a glass of wine. Rodney took a glass of wine from the waiter’s hand and handed it to Elliot. “Mr. Thomson, it was me just now. This glass of wine is my apology!”

“You’re too serious!” Elliot took the glass and clinked it with Rodney’s. Then, he drank it all in one gulp and even raised the bottom of his glass to Rodney. Rodney did not say anything else and drank up the wine in his hand.

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Barron. Let’s go there!” Elliot put down the cup and left with Amber’s waist.

Rodney watched Elliot and Amber leave with no expression on his face. After a while, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell on the sofa in the hall. At this time, a hotel waiter came over and asked, “Sir, what’s wrong with you?”

A familiar voice sounded. “Mr. Barron must have drunk too much. Please send him upstairs to rest. This is the room card!”

Someone helped Rodney up and walked to the guest room. Elliot winked at Amber, which meant that he had succeeded. Amber gave him a grateful smile and said, “Thank you for your hard work! You’ve drunk a lot of wine. Do you want to go to the guest room to have a rest?”

“No need! I’m not drunk!” Elliot suddenly covered his abdomen with his hands, and his face showed a painful look. “I’m going to the bathroom!”

Elliot went into the bathroom for a while before he came out with his hands covering his belly. “How are you?” Amber asked with concern.

“I… I have diarrhea!” Elliot was embarrassed to look at Amber.

“Is it serious?” Amber reached out to hold him.

“It’s serious!” After that, he let go of Amber’s hand and ran into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, he came out with his hands covering his belly. As soon as he reached Amber, he rushed into the bathroom. Seeing his appearance, Amber was also anxious. She immediately called Walter and asked him to send Elliot to the hospital as soon as possible.

Elliot was unwilling to leave. He was still waiting to see a joke, but he had already collapsed. Walter was worried about his health, so he insisted on sending him to the hospital. Before leaving, Walter handed Amber a room card. “This is the room card of his next room. You can wait in the next room. Someone will inform you when the time comes. I will send Mr. Thomson to the hospital first. If you have something to do, remember to call me.”

Amber took the room card and went to the room upstairs. Elliot had already told her that there was a knockout powder in the wine she gave to Rodney when he went to change clothes tonight.

After Rodney fainted, someone would send him to the guest room. There was a beautiful woman waiting for him in the guest room. When the time came, the beautiful woman would inform them that Elliot would go to the room with her to get the s***m.

There was no such thing as Elliot’s diarrhea in the plan. Amber was very nervous. She didn’t know what was going on in the battle next door, but he must have become a piece of meat on the chopping board after seeing Rodney faint. There was no way for him to escape.

Amber waited in the room for a long time, but the beauty did not come to inform her. She was very clear about how strong Rodney was, so she waited patiently for another half an hour. Later, she really waited for him, opened the door, and went out.

Rodney’s room was right next to Amber’s. Amber quietly walked over and placed his ears close to the door to listen. He didn’t hear any unusual sounds coming from the room. Could it be that the beauty was tired and had fallen asleep?

When she thought of how she had often been tortured by Rodney to the point of fainting, she became more and more certain that the beauty inside had fainted.

She couldn’t wait any longer. Although the s***m had survived for a long time, she had to get her hands on it as soon as possible and send it to the hospital in order to ensure that nothing went wrong. So Amber knocked on the door twice gently.

As she knocked on the door, the door opened. Before she could see what was going on inside, Amber quickly covered her mouth with one hand. She smelled a faint fragrance and immediately lost consciousness.
