Chasing My Rejected Wife
Chapter 171

In the end, Celia chose to meet Breanna in the tea room near the Black family. Breanna rushed to the tea room, but Celia had not come yet. She was a little angry. What was wrong with Celia? This tea room was in front of her door, but she asked her to wait for her?

While she was dissatisfied, Celia came in. She sat down and urged her, “Tell me what you want to say. I don’t have time.”

“Are you so busy, Ms. Black?” Breanna sneered. “Since that’s the case, I won’t say it anymore. You’d better go and deal with your own business.”

“Ms. Hammond, what do you mean? It’s not easy for me to replace time to see you. How can you play tricks on me like this?” Celia was unhappy.

“I’m not fooling you. What I want to tell you is very important. You have to show me your sincerity.” Breanna said as she ordered the waiter to serve the tea. She picked up the cup and took a sip, but Celia did not move the cup. Breanna felt even stranger, but she did not think about anything else. Seeing Breanna drinking tea slowly, Celia was anxious. She did not have time to talk nonsense with Breanna, so she asked, “What sincerity do you want?”

“Ms. Black, you have to answer a few questions honestly.” Breanna stared at Celia. “You have given up on Rodney, haven’t you?”

“This…” To Celia, Breanna was just an outsider. How could she tell an outsider that she had feelings for Rodney?

Celia’s reaction was human nature. Although Breanna was young, she was good at scheming. She did not ask Celia to answer this question. She just wanted to see her reaction to judge. If Celia was determined to give up, then it proved that she had no feelings for Rodney. Now that Celia was hesitating, her hesitation was very clear.

“You don’t have to answer this question, Ms. Black. I already know the answer.” Breanna put down the teacup in her hand.

“Ms. Black, you hid it because you don’t trust me. It’s understandable. Since I’m in love with you first, I don’t like your half-sister Amber very much. I believe that Ms. Black has heard of it. I won’t tell you the reason. Be straight. I came to you today to cooperate with you.”

“How do we cooperate?”

“I want to deal with Amber. I want her to stay away from my brother and my fiance. And Ms. Black believes that I have the same purpose. It’s not easy to cooperate with each other, so I came to see Ms. Black to show my sincerity. I hope that Miss Herrera also has your sincerity.”

At this point, Celia was a little more cautious. “Ms. Hammond, what’s your idea?”

This showed that she agreed to cooperate, which was expected by Breanna. “I think Ms. Black should know that Amber’s child is Rodney, right?”

Celia nodded, and Breanna asked again, “So Ms. Black knows that Amber is pregnant?”

“Pregnant? Amber is pregnant?” Celia was shocked. Rachel didn’t tell Itzel the news, so she naturally didn’t know.

Breanna always thought that Celia knew that Amber was pregnant. Seeing that she was so surprised, she knew that Celia did not know. She lowered her voice.

“Amber was pregnant with Rodney’s child in order to save his son. If this child is born, she and Rodney will have two children. At that time, it will not be easy for Ms. Black to turn the tables. Ms. Black, do you understand what I mean?”

Celia didn’t understand. She was shocked by the news and couldn’t think about it at all. Breanna looked at her and continued, “I want to discuss with Ms. Black a way to satisfy both sides… Ms. Black, are you listening?”

Looking at Celia’s absent-minded look, Breanna waved her hand.

Celia came to her senses and looked at the faint smile on Breanna’s face. Her face was a little hot. She had just lost her composure. Her mother was right. She was indeed not old enough and needed experience. Compared with her, Breanna was much more experienced.

Amber’s pregnancy was unknown. She couldn’t decide it on her own. She had to discuss it with her mother first. Celia controlled herself and tried to make herself smile as if nothing had happened. “Thank you for telling me about it, Ms. Hammond. I’ve been out for too long. I’m afraid that my mother will be worried. I’ll go back first. We’ll contact each other in the future.”

The meaning of Celia’s words was to go back and discuss it with Shannon. Breanna knew it very well, so she did not stop her. She handed Celia a business card. “This is my personal number. If Ms. Black has something to do, you can call me. I hope you can continue to drink tea and chat with Ms. Black in the future.”

“Thank you very much, Ms. Hammond. I hope we will be friends in the future.” Celia took the business card and tried to keep herself elegant and left the tea room.

Rodney, Kelsey, had never doubted him. But today, when he heard from Amber that Kelsey had once made up a lie to provoke Amber, he couldn’t remain calm.

Kelsey was kind-hearted in his heart. He had never thought that she would do such a thing behind his back. If it was someone else who said so, he would definitely think that the person had ulterior motives. However, it was Amber who said those words. Amber could not lie.

Rodney had a lot of questions in his heart. He had to ask Kelsey why she did this.

It was just that there had been no news from Kelsey since she went abroad to study. Her phone had been out of contact for a long time, and she didn’t have any new contact information about Rodney. Rodney called Deon, ready to ask for Deon’s contact information. After the phone was connected, Deon said first, “Mr. Barron, where are you? I have something important to tell you.”

Deon’s important matter was definitely not an ordinary one. Rodney guessed that his investigation during this period of time should have some new discoveries, so he replied, “I’ll come to the company in 20 minutes. Let’s talk about it when we meet.”

Twenty minutes later, Rodney entered the company and saw him come back. Deon followed him into the office. Rodney was eager to replace Kelsey to ask. Before Deon could ask, he asked, “Is there any news about Kelsey?”

Deon shook his head. “Ever since Kelsey went abroad, she couldn’t get through to us through her phone. She didn’t take the initiative to contact us. I checked the school where she went abroad to study. There was no such person in the other side’s reply.”

No matter how he looked at it, it was so strange that Kelsey had disappeared without a trace even though she was studying abroad. Rodney frowned. Could it be that Kelsey had been lying to him all this while? Hadn’t she gone abroad at all?

A feeling of being betrayed rose in his heart, and his face turned cold. “Go and replace out who she has been in contact with during that period of time.”

“I’ve checked. She has the most contact with Itzel,” Deon replied.

“Itzel?” Rodney was shocked. Previously, he and Kelsey had suspected that Itzel was Kelsey’s mother. Later, Kelsey had denied it herself. Since Itzel was not Kelsey’s mother, why did she have to interact with Itzel? This was very strange.

Thinking of the fact that Kelsey had called Amber to lie, Rodney became more and more uneasy. He controlled himself and told her that Kelsey had invited him to dinner. “What do you think of this?”

“Kelsey is such a person?” Deon was obviously shocked. Kelsey had been in contact with him for a long time, and he also had a good impression of Kelsey. Now that such a thing had suddenly happened, Deon obviously could not believe it.

“Amber won’t lie. Kelsey must have called her. What motive do you think she has?”

“Could it be that Kelsey was bribed by Madam?” Deon asked tentatively.

“That’s what I’m thinking as well. But what’s the purpose of her trying to get me drunk? Is it just to stimulate Amber and make her leave?” Rodney felt that it would be too much of a big deal if it was just a small issue.

The thing that happened that night would not be so simple. Although he could not drink, he would not be drunk after a few drinks. He thought of Celia, who suddenly appeared.

Rodney could not help but shudder. He remembered that he had only drunk a few cups of wine that night and was not drunk to the point of being unconscious. However, that day, he had fallen asleep and was sent home by Celia. This matter was very strange.

“Mr. Barron, do they want to repeat the birthday party again?” Deon reminded him.

“The birthday party?” After being reminded by Deon, Rodney also remembered the embarrassing thing that happened on his mother’s birthday.

Itzel had a good relationship with her mother. Did they bribe Kelsey? Did they ask Kelsey to drug her? Did they want her to be with Celia?

If this kind of speculation was true, then something must have happened that he didn’t know that night. Rodney didn’t dare to think about the result. His heart beat fast. “Has Celia done anything recently?”

“She went to the hospital to have a physical examination before, and I asked someone to follow her and see her enter the orthopedics examination. Later, I asked someone to check what she did, but nothing was found.”

“What do you mean? She didn’t have an examination?”

“No, the people following her can be sure that she has been checked, but there is no such thing as her in the hospital. That is to say, Celia used someone else’s name to check her body. I think it’s very strange. Why did she do it secretly? Is she planning something?”

“Don’t beat around the bush and get straight to the point.” Rodney was a little impatient.

“So I went to do an investigation in person. I asked the people who checked Celia’s photos to identify her, and then recorded all the check-up projects of Celia. Then I went to another hospital to replace a few see-up doctors and reached a conclusion that these check-up projects seemed to be doing an artificial physical examination.”

“What did you say?” Rodney raised his voice unnaturally. Celia was an artificial tutor? How could it be so incredible? “Why does she want to be an artificial tutor?”

“I’ve checked it out. Although Celia did these examinations, she didn’t do any artificial surgery, so I found it very strange. Because I couldn’t figure out what she was going to do, I came to tell you.”

This sudden situation made it hard for Rodney to think clearly. He felt that his mind was in a mess, like a mess. He couldn’t figure out anything.

Deon saw that he was frowning and didn’t say anything, so he didn’t dare to speak. After a while, when he saw that Rodney didn’t say anything, he said tentatively, “Could it be that Madam is going to let Celia get pregnant again?” Deon didn’t dare to be completely sure, so he was a little hesitant when he said that.

Her mother had always been dissatisfied with the fact that she was with Amber, and Celia had never given up on her. With the two of them combined, Rodney stood up immediately. “Oh no, I might really have been tricked!”

“Don’t panic, Mr. Barron. It’s just a guess. Maybe it’s not that serious. Let’s replace out what happened that night. Didn’t you invite a designated driver that night? Let’s go to the hotel immediately to ask the designated driver about the situation.”

Rodney and Deon rushed to the Huston Palace. They wanted to replace the designated driver that night to replace out more about the situation, but the hotel told Rodney that they didn’t have such a designated driver. When he found out that the designated driver was called by Kelsey, Rodney smiled bitterly. He knew very well that he had been scheming since the beginning of the meal.

Since someone had set up a trap to plot against him, it was impossible for him to replace the designated driver so easily. It was meaningless to continue to look for the designated driver now. Rodney walked out of the hotel with a sullen face without saying a word.

“Mr. Barron, what should we do now?” Deon also knew the seriousness of the matter.

“Let’s go home!” Rodney spat out two words.

“Madam is injured now…” Deon was worried that he would quarrel with Rachel when he went back, so he reminded him of Rachel’s injury. Rodney shook his head and said, “It’s meaningless to quarrel now. I went home because I wanted to know what happened that night.”

“If all this was planned by Madam, she wouldn’t tell you.”

“If she didn’t say it, someone would naturally say it.” Rodney sneered. “You forgot about the surveillance at home. I want to see what happened that night!”
