Chapter 102 Horse Riding and Mountain Hiking
Makenna bit her lips tightly, feeling exasperated. Now, she was not in the mood to see the second trial
about Chloe, so she turned and left.
Half an hour later, she came to the Farrell Group.
“Jared…” Makenna didn’t care whether there was anyone else in his office. She walked directly to
Jared who was behind the table, sat on his laps and put her arms around his neck. Then she buried her
head in his chest, sobbing softly.
Jared froze for a moment. He frowned slightly and looked at the woman in his arms.
If he hadn’t heard her cry, he would have even wanted to push her away.
“Put the documents here. I’ll read them later. You guys can go back first.” Jared put down the paper in
his hand, rubbed his temples, and said to staffs on the other side of the table.
The man and the woman nodded, “Okay, Mr. Farrell.”
Then, the two turned around and went out.
After the door was closed, the woman couldn’t help but whispered, “That’s Mr. Farrell’s fiancée?
Where’s her manners? She didn’t even knock on the door before coming in. Didn’t she see us talking
business? She pounced at Mr. Farrell directly, Jesus, right in front of us!”
The man shrugged, “But Mr. Farrell loves her.”
The woman’s face was full of dissatisfaction, “Even if he loves her, she can’t do such things regardless
of the
occasion.”
“Okay, enough. If she hears it, we will be fired.”
The woman pouted and said nothing.
In the office, Jared gently pushed the woman in his arms away, “Makenna, come down first.”
“No!” Makenna buried her head on his chest again.
Jared was helpless, so he could only ask, “Tell me, what happened?”
Makenna raised her head. Her eyes were red, “Jared, why did they say that to me?”
“Who?” Jared narrowed his eyes.
Makenna sniffed, “Miss Reed and Mrs. Mendez. I was going to see Chloe’s second trial today, but I
saw Mrs. Mendez kneeling down to Miss Reed in front of the courthouse, begging her to forgive Chloe.
But Miss Reed refused Mrs. Mendez. I helped Mrs. Mendez to persuade Miss Reed…”
“Wait a minute, what did you do?” Jared raised his hand to interrupt her, “You persuade Amber to
forgive Chloe?”
“Yeah.” Makenna nodded, “I see Mrs. Mendez kneeling down and begging, so…”
“Makenna, you are wrong this time. You shouldn’t do this.” Jared looked at her.
Makenna seemed a little astounded, “Why?”
*This incident was caused by Chloe. Amber is the victim. It’s up to her that whether she forgives Chloe
or not. As a bystander, you have no right to ask her to do it. Do you understand?” Jared said in a deep
voice.
Makenna bit her lip, “But…”
“Well, I know you want to say that Mrs. Mendez has already knelt down to Amber. She has gone too far
if she still
refuses to forgive. But have you ever thought that Mrs. Mendez’s kneeling down might not be a real
begging, but a
sort of compulsion?”
“Compulsion?” Makenna seemed to be surprised.
Jared nodded, “Yes, Mrs. Mendez can go to Amber in private, but she chose to kneel to Amber in front
of the
public. It’s apparently that she wants to force Amber to agree.”
“That’s it.” Makenna lowered her head, looking very sad, “No wonder Mrs. Mendez hates me for
helping her up. It’s just because I ruined her plan.”
“Never mind. Just pay more attention before helping others next time.” Jared stroked her hair gently,
“Besides, The Mendez family aren’t decent people. You should have less contact with them in the
future.”
“Got it.” Makenna forced a smile.
Soon, she thought of something again. Then she looked at him expectantly, “Jared, how about we go
out this
weekend?”
“Weekend?”
“Yeah.”
“Why did you suddenly think of going out?” Jared smiled lightly.
Makenna replied, “Because I feel so bored. You’ve been very busy lately and you don’t have much time
to eat with me. I can only stay at home every day by myself. I’ve been so bored. Jared, just go out with
me.”
She shook his arms, acting like a spoil child. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Jared couldn’t do anything with her. It just so happened that there were few things to do this weekend,
so he nodded, “Okay, I’ll take you out this weekend, but I can’t go too far in two days. I can only be in
Olkmore. Where do you want to go?”
When Makenna heard him agree, she smiled brightly, “I don’t know. I just woke up not long ago. I still
don’t know which place is fun in Olkmore. Jared, where do you want to go?”
Jared thought for a while. Then he seemed to think of something. The light smile on his face became a
little
brighter.
“I remember you said in your letter that you like horse riding and mountain hiking, and you’re quite
good at horse riding as well. It just so happened that Mr. Morris owns a riding club, and it’s built on the
mountain. After riding, we could directly go hiking. What do you think?” Jared looked at her.
The smile on Makenna’s face was frozen.
Horse riding and mountain hiking! She could go hiking, but she couldn’t ride a horse at all!
She had an innate fear of these large animals.
“Do you not want to do these?” Seeing that Makenna didn’t speak for a while, Jared’s face turned
serious.
Makenna was afraid that he would suspect things, so she quickly nodded, “Yes, yes! I’ve thought about
it a long time ago. I’m just so touched and happy that you still remember this.”
“I’ve said this before. I remember all your preferences.” Jared murmured in a gentle voice.
Makenna forced a smile, “Really?”
Jared said, “Then I’ll contact Mr. Morris later.”
“Okay.” Makenna nodded absently.
It seemed that she had to go to the riding club.
As for riding a horse, she could make up an excuse to avoid it.
Thinking of this, Makenna was no longer worried.
In the courthouse, the second trial had come to an end.
Under the repeated questioning of the judge and Amber’s lawyer, Chloe finally couldn’t stand it any
longer. She
lowered her head and admitted that she did deliberately tweeted that post, in order to ruin Amber’s
reputation.
Although it was bad, the laws about cyber–bullying were inadequate. So Chloe was only sentenced to
be detained for 15 days and fined 30, 000 dollars.
“Not enough.” After walking out of the court, Cole pouted.
He actually wanted Chloe to go to jail rather than simply to be detained.
Amber smiled, “The law is like this. Accept it! Anyway, Chloe has also been punished. We should be
happy.”
“That’s right, why don’t we go celebrate for it? I heard that there is a new seafood restaurant on
Saurock Avenue,
do you want to have a try?” Cole looked at her with a smile.
Amber hadn’t eaten seafood for a long time. After she heard it, her eyes lit up, “Let’s go.”
“Okay!” Cole took out the car key. When he was about to press it, his phone rang.
“I have to answer it first.” Cole smiled bitterly.
The call came just in time.
Cole took out his mobile phone, looked at the caller ID, and raised his eyebrows, “It’s my mother!”
“Pick it up.” Amber urged.
Cole answered it and put the phone to his ear.
On the other end of the phone, a soft contralto voice came, “Cole, is the trial over?”
“It’s over.” Cole replied, and then asked, “Mom, what’s matter?”
