Chapter 74 It Has to Be One of These Two
“I’m not defending her. I’m stating the facts,” Jared said with a gentle shook of his head.
“But...” Makenna’s clutch on her sleeve halted Mrs. Gardner’s comments.
“Mom, forget about it; we should trust Jared when he says these aren’t Amber’s doing,”
Makenna stated while forcing a smile on her face.
Jared grimaced at her words, which appeared to be twisted yet were not.
Mrs. Gardner knew what Makenna was saying and locked her gaze on Jared.

Makenna informed her that she overheard the kidnapper claiming that he acted on Amber’s commands to get revenge on
Makenna. Nevertheless, despite being saddened by Jared’s act of defending Amber, Makenna continued to support him.
“Mr. Farrell,” Ben said as he knocked on their door.
“Yes?” Jared asked.
He swept a glance at Makenna and continued, “I’ve got information on Jeremy Lynch.”
Jared narrowed his eyes and said, “Wait for me outside.”
As he went out, Ben said, “Yes.”
“I’m going out for a while,” Jared told Makenna as he pulled his arm free from her grip.
Makenna smiled as she nodded.
Before leaving, Jared assisted her in lying down on the bed and putting on the blanket.
“This is all I discovered about Jeremy Lynch,” Ben said outside the room as he handed Jared a file. “He is an orphan who grew
up in Ensford Town and only began attending school after ten years old with the sponsorship from Ms. Reed and her father. He
was later discovered and eventually became a model. He does not match the description of the fox mask man.”

“You’re sure it wasn’t him?” Jared frowned.
“Yes,” Ben said, nodding. “I asked Mr. Gardner, he met fox mask man twice and could tell that the man was a top–notch hacker
whereas Jeremy had no experience in this sector. Furthermore, he is now ill as a result of a shooting in a snowy location, but the
fox mask man displayed no signs of illness.”
“What should we do next?” Ben asked Jared.
“Investigate everyone related to Amber; I’m sure the is one of Amber’s acquaintances; check every one of them.” After a brief

pause, Jared gave instructions.
“Yes!” Ben nodded.
“Hello, Mr. Farrell,” said a voice from behind.
Jared turned around to see Chloe Mendez and Gigi Garland approaching him with a bouquet in their hands.
“Is Makenna there in the room?” Chloe inquired, avoiding the man’s gaze. “We came here to pay her a visit after learning that
she was sick,” she stated, her voice quivering slightly.
Jared pointed to the door and said, “She’s inside.”
“Thank you.” Chloe said as she turned to Gigi, “Let’s go in.”
“Yes,” Gigi answered, elevating her chin.
Chloe knocked on the door while Gigi gazed at Jared. She hadn’t gotten a good look at this man in the private room before, but
now that she had, she thought Jared was far better–looking than her husband Nathan Lehman. Her eyes grew gloomy as she
thought of the man who
wanted to divorce her.
“Makenna invited us in,” Chloe said as she opened the door and waved at Gigi.
“Coming,” Gigi murmured as she walked in after politely nodding to Jared.
“Let’s get going,” Jared told Ben and proceeded to the elevator while putting the documents in

Ben’s hand.
“Are you not staying here with Ms. Gardner?” Ben asked as he followed behind Jared.
“No, she has the company from her pals,” Jared responded indifferently before leaving a voice mail for Makenna, telling her he
left.
Makenna bit her bottom lip as she listened to the voice message and reluctantly replied: Okay.
“What’s the matter, Makenna?” Chloe inquired, noticing her change of mood as she placed the flower on the table.
“Nothing, thank you for coming Makenna said as she placed her phone down.
“It’s no big deal; we’re best friends,” Chloe said with a wave.
“I heard you were abducted, is that true?” Gigi sat in the chair next to the bed, her legs crossed. in an elegant way.
Although it wasn’t on the news, Makenna’s hospitalization was not a secret; with a little digging, anyone could find out the story.
“You were kidnapped?” Chloe asked, her jaw dropping, “Who did that?”
Makenna’s eyes welled up with tears. “An admirer of Ms. Reed.” She forced a grin as she admitted, “I accidentally hurt her a few
days ago, and so her admirer abducted me as payback.”
“What? But you didn’t do it on purpose, yet her admirer abducted you?” Chloe screamed angrily.

“Perhaps he believed I hurt Ms. Reed intentionally, therefore...” Makenna grumbled bitterly, not finishing her line.
“I assume this has something to do with Amber, she could be the mastermind of this kidnapping,” Chloe fumed.
“No, Jared stated that Ms. Reed had nothing to do with it.” Makenna hastily waved her hands no, fearful that they might misread
the situation.
“How did he know Amber is innocent?” Gigi wondered as she rubbed her chin.
Makenna shook her head, unhappy, and said, “I’m not sure, maybe he asked Ms. Reed.”
“I’m convinced that Amber had lied to Jared, Makenna, and we can’t let her fight...” Chloe remarked as she crossed her arms
across her hips.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

“But...” Makenna nibbled her lower lip in hesitant.

Gigi offered, “Leave everything to me.”
“What do you intend to do, Gigi?” Makenna inquired.
“I know Goldstone is attempting to acquire a loan; I can interfere and make sure the banks reject her application, putting
Goldstone in financial jeopardy,” Gigi remarked, flicking her nails.
Makenna’s lips curled up slightly as she looked at Gigi take out her phone and call the banks, while Chloe gazed at Gigi with
awe.
In Goldstone.
“Ms. Reed, we’re in trouble,” Sheila rushed into Amber’s office.
“What’s the matter?” Amber raised her eyes from the piles of documents to look at her.
“All of our applications were denied. Many banks stated that we were not qualified for the
loan. For the banks that had given us the loan, they claimed that they had made a mistake during
the verification process and requested that we immediately return the approved loan.”
“What?” Amber clenched tightly on the pen in her hand, and he face turned livid. “What exactly is happening?”
“I have no idea, I guess someone must be targeting us, otherwise the banks wouldn’t all be like this so suddenly,” Sheila said,
looking at Amber.
“Trenton Gardner!” His name came to Amber’s mind.
“Are you saying the Trident Group is behind it all?”

Amber took a deep breath and said, “I couldn’t think of anybody else.”
If it was truly him, either the land or Makenna had to be the cause. It had to be one of these
two.
“What are we going to do now?” Sheila wondered..
