Hypnotizing Love
Chapter 154 The Old House of the Reed Family

Makenna took out Amber's proposal and flipped through it. As she was reading, her eyebrows were knotted more and more tightly. Although she did not know business, she could still tell the quality of a business plan.

Amber's plan was far better than hers.

She didn't expect that Amber only took over Goldstone in less than two months, but she could write such an excellent proposal.

No way! It was definitely not written by her!

Jealousy bubbled up in Makenna's heart. She insisted that Amber didn't have the ability to write such a good plan.

However, no matter who wrote this proposal, Makenna believed that Jared would choose it.

When thinking that Amber would get the project while her own proposal would be eliminated, Makenna simply could not accept it.

"No..." Makenna bit her lip and suddenly had a crazy idea.

She placed two proposals on the table. The two folders had the companies' names written on them. Then, she switched the documents in the folders.

So Amber's plan would become her father's, and her father's plan would become Amber's.

Makenna couldn't help smiling smugly about her little trick.

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the door.

Makenna thought it might be Ben, so she quickly put the two folders back in place.

Then, she sat back on the sofa, and took out her mobile phone to look at it.

Ben came in and said, "I am sorry to keep you waiting so long, Miss Gardner."

"It doesn't matter." Makenna replied with a smile.

Ben didn't replace anything strange in the reception room, and then he put the coffee in front of her.

Makenna was about to drink while her phone rang.

"Excuse me." She smiled and swiped to answer the call, "Hello. Chloe? You are out?"

Makenna felt surprised.

Ben looked at her and frowned.

Was Chloe Mendez discharged from prison?

"Okay, I'll be right there." After hanging up, Makenna looked at Ben and said, "Ben, please tell Jared that I won't go meet him for now."

Although she only treated Chloe as a lackey, she had to meet Chloe.

Chloe was very loyal to her, so she had to keep well their relationship. If there was anything wrong, she could ask Chloe to help her, so she could not break up their relationship. "Okay, Miss Gardner, don't worry. I will tell Mr. Farrell." Ben nodded with a smile.

Makenna left.

Holding a stack of documents, Ben went to the top floor and knocked on the president's office door.

"Come in." Jared said.

Ben went in and said, "Mr. Farrell, here are twenty cooperation plans."

Hearing this, Jared stopped writing and raised his head. He looked at the documents and asked, "Is that all?"

"Yes." Ben nodded.

Jared asked, "Does Amber hand in?"

As soon as he said that, he regretted it.

He only asked about Amber's plan, which was easy to make other misunderstand that he was very concerned about Amber. In fact, he didn't know why he cared so much about Amber's plan. But when Jared saw that Ben was not surprised by his attention to Amber, he didn't feel embarrassed.

Perhaps, Ben didn't think that he was caring about Amber.

In fact, Jared didn't know that Ben was not surprised because he knew that Mr. Farrell actually had feelings for Miss Reed.

Therefore, when Mr. Farrell asked Ben about Miss Reed's proposal, he was not surprised.

"Here." Ben took out Amber's plan and handed it over.

Jared took it and opened it with curiosity and anticipation.

However, when he saw the content, he was disappointed. Amber's proposal was too bad.

Her plan was too ordinary, without any attractive points.

Why did she hand over such a lousy plan?

Seeing Jared's dissatisfied look, Ben pushed his glasses and asked, "Mr. Farrell, is there anything wrong with Miss Reed's proposal?" "Look at it by yourself." Jared threw the folder to him.

Ben quickly caught it and looked at it.

After reading it, Ben felt awkward and said, "Maybe Miss Reed has never learned about new energy resources, so she can't write it well."

Hearing that, Jared felt relieved. He said, "I'll keep this proposal. For the rest of the proposals, you can eliminate the bad ones directly. If you think a good one, you hand it to me. I'll make the final decision." "Got it." Ben nodded and left with the remaining nineteen documents.

Mr. Farrell said that if the proposal was not good, he could eliminate it directly. So Miss Reed's proposal should be eliminated, but Mr. Farrell kept it.

It seemed that Mr. Farrell wanted to give Miss Reed another chance. But Mr. Farrell had promised that this competition was absolutely fair.

Ben rolled his eyes.

Mr. Farrell also had a double standard.

After Ben left, Jared opened Amber's proposal again. He picked up his pen and wrote down his suggestions.

At this time, Amber already arrived at the Reed family's villa.

The Reed family's villa was bought when her parents got married more than 20 years ago. It was the place where she grew up, a place full of her childhood memories.

However, twenty years ago, after her mother passed away, her father married her stepmother and gave birth to a younger sister. Everything had changed. This place was no longer her home, but merely an accommodation.

Six years ago, her father passed away and her stepmother took all money and ran away with her younger sister. Since then, she had never come here.

Now she returned back and felt everything different.

She sighed. Then she took out the key, and was about to open the door.

Suddenly, she thought of something. She frowned and quickly took out the key that Lady Georgia gave her.

"What?" Amber looked at the two keys.

When Lady Georgia gave her the key, she said it was the key to the Reed family's old house.

But she already had a key to the door of the old house; attached to the same keyring of the original key was an access card to this villa complex. The two keys looked different.

So the key given by Lady Georgia didn't match. Either it was that the lock on the door had been changed, or this key was used to open other doors.

Thinking of this, Amber looked at the door of the villa and walked over. Finally, she found that the lock had not been changed, so the key given by Lady Georgia should be for another door, but she did not know which door it was.

"Just go in and have a look." Amber muttered to herself. Then she opened the door and entered the house.

There was nothing in it. All furniture and electrical appliances were sold by her stepmother and younger sister. There was only thick dust covering the floor where Amber had left her footprints when she walked.00000
