Chapter 17 The Party
Meanwhile at the Farrell’s Mansion.
Jared stared at the trending news and frowned tightly.
Ben stood warily beside him, “Mr. Farrell, I didn’t do this. Someone must have spread it on purpose. Do
you need me to get someone to take it down from the internet?”
“No need.” Jared pursed his lips with mixed emotions in his eyes, “It must have been done by someone
from the Gardner family.”
Ben got it.
The Gardner family deliberately exposed the video to crush Amber. If Jared helped her, the Gardner
family would not be happy. Mr. Farrell did not want to offend his future father-in-law because of Amber.
“Then this matter …”
“Don’t worry about it.” Jared turned his phone off, looked up, and asked, “Has the Corazón Azul arrived
yet?”
Ben nodded, “It arrived yesterday. I got Miss Gardner’s name engraved on it as you told me to.”
“Well, you can leave now.”
Jared looked down and pressed his temples, and his head hurt even more when he saw the divorce
certificate inside the bin.
…
The Trident Group was well known in Olkmore City. When the Gardner family was holding a party for
their daughter, the guests invited were mostly from the upper class, so naturally, there were some
people who wanted to climb the ladder to get a glimpse of Makenna.
Trenton and his wife wandered through the crowd with smiles on their faces.
He was an elegant, middle-aged man with a bearded chin, and his wife was a typical noblewoman.
The sound of a piano slowly started to play.
As the crowd looked on, Makenna, dressed in a green gown, sat gracefully and calmly at the piano.
She was the one playing, like a beautiful swam that had attracted everyone’s attention.
After the song, Jared emerged from the crowd and took Makenna’s hand. The two looked like a perfect
match.
Trenton was all smiles, “Thank you all for joining us today. Apart from celebrating my daughter’s
recovery, today, I have another big announcement to make.”
His eyes skimmed across the crowd and finally focused on Jared, “Jared Farrell, the president of the
Farrell Group, will be my son-in-law.”
As he finished, the crowd roared.
Everyone knew about Mr. Farrell’s divorce and now he was the son-in-law of the Gardner family.
And when they thought of the video that hit the news yesterday, people couldn’t help but sigh.

Jared was a handsome and elegant man, and Makenna, graceful and poised. They looked great
together.
He took out a golden box, opened it, and got down on one knee in front of Makenna.
It went without saying that he was going to propose.
Makenna was surprised and covered her mouth in disbelief.
At the moment, Jared spoke, “Makenna, will…”
Suddenly, an untimely laugh interrupted Jared.
“I’m so sorry, guys. I’m late.”
The voice…
Jared’s gaze turned unfathomable at the moment when he turned his head to look.
Amber, who was dressed in a sexily stunning way, sashayed slowly into the hall, followed by Cole and
Jeremy.
People were surprised to see her.
Everyone in the room knew that she was Jared’s ex-wife.
Yet she appeared at this moment …
Seeing that her son’s proposal was disturbed, Shonna suddenly jumped out and pointed at Amber,
snapping, “Who let you in? Get out!
Cole spoke with his arms crossed, “We’re here for Miss Gardner’s party.”
“Wen…”
Trenton stopped Shonna, who was about to speak, and eyed Amber.
He had passed the age of being impulsive, but the smile on his face was noticeably lighter, “I didn’t
send you an invitation, but you’re welcome here. The Gardner family welcome you.”
“She’s the one who had caused my daughter’s car accident?”
The first time Mrs. Gardner saw Amber, she found that the person gave her a strange feeling, but she
could not tell what was strange.
Then she remembered that this was the person who had almost killed Makenna.
Mrs. Gardner’s face turn completely livid and she couldn’t keep her composure anymore, “Miss Reed, I
still haven’t settled my score with you from six years ago. How dare you show up at my house?”
