Chasing My Rejected Wife by J.Liu

His words didn’t comfort her. Celia sobbed and cried more sadly.

Compared to Rodney, Channing’s compensation was just a drop in the bucket. The most important

property was secondary. She loved Rodney and loved him so much that she would die. After so many

years of hard work and effort, how could she give up so easily?

Seeing her daughter crying sadly, Channing just handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears and

comforted Celia. “Don’t cry. Dad will definitely find someone who is better than Rodney for you!”

At this moment, a doctor came in to check Channing’s body. Celia stopped crying. Seeing that Celia’s

eyes were red, the doctor comforted her. “The secretary will be fine. Don’t worry.”

The doctor thought that she was worried that Channing would cry, so Channing did not say anything. At

this time, Celia’s phone rang. It turned out to be Rodney. Celia went outside to answer.

“Celia, do you have time now? Let’s meet up.”

“I’m taking care of my father in the hospital. I don’t have time.” Celia refused.

“It won’t take long. I’ll come to the hospital to find you!”

In the past, she was the only one who was shameless enough to see Rodney. She never saw him on

her own initiative. Celia realized that something was wrong. “I can’t leave. Dad is sick and can’t be

short of people!”

She was afraid that Rodney would not believe her and explained, “Dad’s situation isn’t very good. Mom

stayed here the whole night last night. I just came to change her and went back to rest.”

“How’s uncle?” Rodney had always been calling Channing Mr. Black, but now he suddenly called him

uncle, which made Celia very uncomfortable.

“The doctor is checking his body now.”

“Well, call me when you have time.”

This meant that she had to meet her. Celia hated it in her heart, but she readily agreed. Now she finally

understood why her mother asked her to take care of Channing in the same way.

It seemed that Rodney wanted to end it with her, but she couldn’t do it with him now. It meant that there

was no excuse to turn things around. If it didn’t end, there was still a chance of survival. Fortunately,

Channing’s illness was the best excuse for her. No matter what, Rodney wouldn’t add fuel to the fire at

this time.

Itzel went to the Barron family to visit Rachel. Rachel leaned back on the sofa, looking weak. When she

saw Itzel, she sighed and said, “You’re the only one who misses me. I’ve lost face. I don’t dare to see

anyone anymore!”

“Think about it!” Itzel comforted him.

“What do you want me to do?” Rachel couldn’t hold back her anger when she found a person who

could talk to her. She told him about the quarrel between Rodney and her.

“I don’t know what drug Amber fed him, but he dared to slander me in public regardless of the mother-

son relationship, and even quarreled with me openly. I’ve been holding my breath until now. I’m so

uncomfortable!”

“Rodney, you’re right. It’s not easy to find a woman. It’s not right to find a woman to go against her

mother!” Itzel naturally echoed Rachel’s words.

“It’s more than that. It’s simply immoral! I feel depressed when I think about it. It’s said that it’s better to

raise children than to prevent old people. I’m just trying to vent my anger on them. My life is really

hard!”

“Rodney isn’t such a cruel person. He’s kind-hearted and nice to you. I don’t think it’s his intention to do

such a thing. It must be Amber’s order. Heroes fall for beauties. If you want to blame someone, you can

only blame Amber. He’s too shameless. He’s already divorced and still hooked up with Rodney.”

Itzel was well aware of the fact that she didn’t like to hear others say that her son wasn’t good. She

could only blame it on Amber.

Sure enough, her words hit the nail on Rachel’s head. Her son used to be obedient and never

disobeyed her. But for the sake of Amber, he had gone against her several times. So she said with

hatred, “Yes! My son was ruined by the vixen just like that!”

“It’s just that Rodney doesn’t listen to you now. What are you going to do if you insist on going your own

way? After all, I’m too old to take care of my own business!” Itzel tried to sound him out.

This was also what Rachel was worried about. It was true that there was nothing she could do about it.

It was useless to seek death, which was why she was in trouble.

“I’m trying to figure it out. Anyway, I can’t let Amber and Rodney be together. Amber will get married

after the divorce, and he will be a burden. How can my son raise a child for someone else?”

“Yeah, it’s not like I can’t have a baby. Why do I have to raise a child for someone else?”

“I have to find a way to cut off all ties with Amber!” Rachel hated Amber as soon as she thought that he

had a son, but his son was still single.

“What are you going to do?”

“I’m helpless now. If I had a way, I would have taken action.” Rachel sighed. “By the way, you always

have a lot of ideas. Do you have any good ideas?”

“What can I do?” Itzel naturally wouldn’t reveal her trump card so quickly. “By the way, have you

discussed this with Celia’s parents?”

“No, Channing is lying in the hospital now. After coming back from the meeting in the provincial

province, he is so angry that he is in the hospital. Shannon is now worried that her husband has been

staying in the hospital all the time. If I go to find him at this time, won’t I make things difficult for them?”

“That’s right. It’s not appropriate to ask this question at this time.”

“You’ve come up with an idea for me. I can’t just wait like this. Amber is already giving birth to a baby,

and he’s now living with Rodney. If he’s pregnant, I’ll have to agree even if my grandson doesn’t agree.”

Rachel was really worried. “I have to think of a way. It’ll be too late.”

“If you say so, I have an idea. Why don’t you let Rodney and Celia be together? If Celia is pregnant

with Rodney, she has to give up.”

“It’s easy for you to say that. How can we let them be together?” Rachel shook her head. “Although

Celia is gentle, she doesn’t know how to capture men’s hearts. She won’t make any progress for more

than three years.”

“That’s because Celia is well-bred to know self-esteem and self-respect. How many people are still as

good as jade before marriage these days?”

“You’re wrong. Rodney said that he has no interest in her.” Rachel was especially angry when she

spoke of this. “That unfilial son actually said that he had no interest in any woman except Amber. I’m so

angry.”

Itzel was secretly angry when she heard that. “That was what he said on purpose in order to be with

Amber. Didn’t people say that men are animals who think with their lower bodies?”

“I know my own son well. Rodney is as stubborn as his father.” Rachel sighed. “He has no interest in

Celia. I have to find a good one for him again.”

“At a time like this?” Itzel shook her head. “When you find a yellow dish, it’ll be cold!”

“It’s impossible for him not to do anything, isn’t it? In the past, there were so many young ladies from

wealthy families who liked Rodney. I don’t believe that he didn’t like Rodney.” Rachel was ruthless, as if

she was going to do whatever she wanted.

“Forget it. In the past, I believe that as long as you speak, someone will immediately come up to you.

But now that Rodney has gone to make such a scene on TV, everyone knows that he likes Amber. At

this time, who would come out and stir up trouble?”

Itzel analyzed. “You’ve forgotten Amber’s methods. If you make her unhappy, you can just leak the

news online. Do you want others to live? It’s useless to do it. It’s better to find a ready-made one.”

“What you said makes sense.” Rachel sighed. “It’s just that I always felt uneasy. I used to think that

Celia was good, but now I’m not satisfied. Didn’t you say that she was the one who did this last time? If

she hadn’t asked someone to take photos, she wouldn’t have made such a big scene. The dog that

bites doesn’t bark. I always feel that she has a mother who is not a good person, so…”

“But now, apart from her, there is no one else suitable for her?” Itzel reminded him. “Rodney has

always been clean-minded. There are no other women around him at all.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Rachel’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Why not? Isn’t that Kelsey ready-

made?”

“Kelsey? Are you sure you want to find such a woman without a backer for Rodney? Isn’t that the same

as Amber?”

“I can’t care so much now.”

“You’d better think about it again!” Itzel would never let Rachel choose Kelsey.

“I’m telling you, you have to be careful about this matter. Channing is still in his position. As the saying

goes, business does not fight with officials. You can’t choose him out of his two daughters, but if you

choose someone else, it’s not certain.”

Itzel threatened Rachel with Channing’s incident.

Rachel smiled mysteriously and said, “I don’t want to hide it from you. A few days ago, I heard that

Channing couldn’t protect himself this time. It is said that he went to the provincial meeting to be

investigated, so he fell ill when he came back. If Channing was really caught, could I let my son marry

his daughter?”

“If what you said is true, you should think about it carefully. I’m afraid that someone with ulterior motives

deliberately let you out to confuse you. You have to think it through.” Itzel forced a smile.

“I know. I’ll think carefully about this matter. Right now, the most important thing is how to stop Rodney

and Amber from being together. I can ignore everything else. I have to see Kelsey. No matter what, if

she can cooperate to drive Amber away, even if she can’t marry Rodney in the future, as long as she

can give birth to a son for Rodney, I won’t treat her shabbily.”

Itzel said goodbye gloomily. She had always known that Rachel was snobbish, so she took advantage

of Rachel’s power to make a big fuss about dealing with Amber. She didn’t expect that Rachel would

use the same trick on Celia. No, she had to ask Shannon carefully if what happened to Channing was

true.

Shannon was also very surprised when she received Itzel’s call. Channing fell ill as soon as he came

back. She really didn’t know at all. If Channing was really investigated, he could imagine the days in the

future.

Shannon went to the hospital in a hurry. Channing and Celia were watching TV in the ward. When he

saw Shannon hurrying over with a pale face, he was a little surprised. “What happened?”

“Celia, go out for a while. Your father and I have something to say. Don’t go too far. Just wait at the

door.” Shannon told her daughter.

Celia went out obediently. Shannon walked to Channing’s bed and lowered her voice. “Mr. Black, is

there something wrong with you?”

“Who told you that?” Channing asked back.

“Is it true?” Shannon was very anxious.

“Yes, it’s a little troublesome,” Channing replied.

“It’s true! What’s going on?”

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t!” Channing frowned. “You’ll know when the time comes.”

“I’m worried. Just tell me, Channing!”

“I’m only telling you that the mayor has been fired! Think about the rest yourself!”

“What should we do?” Shannon was really anxious when she heard that the mayor was fired.

The top leader had been fired. This was definitely not an ordinary big deal. When she got to know that

Channing had a close relationship with the mayor, she began to be afraid. “If something happens to

you, what should we do in the future?”

“Don’t worry. It won’t affect you.” Channing frowned and sounded a little impatient.
