Chapter 189 Makayla Gardner Was Still Alive
Chapter 189 Makayla Gardner Was Still Alive
Though he thought so, but he didn't dare say so.
Ben cleared his throat and replied, "Yes, I'll send it to you right now."
Jared handed over his phone.
Ben took it and immediately sent it to him.
Jared saw the phone on the table from the corner of his eye. He lowered his eyes and said, "All right,
you can go out."
"Yes, sir."
Ben went out, leaving Jared alone in the office.
He picked up his phone and saw the photos sent by Ben.
There were two, and he had not seen the other one.
Jared clicked on the photo.
In the photo, Amber's background was still the same, but her posture had changed.
She held the long skirt part with one hand and put the other hand in the air, as if she was going to fly
away in the next second.
It was good-looking exactly, but he didn't like it.
Jared clicked on the photo and wanted to delete it.
However, when his fingers were placed above the screen, he just couldn't go for it.
After a while, he gave up.
"Jared!" Suddenly, Makenna's nervous voice came from the door.
Jared frowned. He put the phone back in the place where he had just been. "Come in."

In the mall, Amber and Stella finished buying shoes and came out of the store.
Stella touched her belly and said, "Ms. Reed, let's go eat something. I'm a little hungry."
Amber also felt a little hungry. She looked at the time and found that it was almost one o'clock in the
afternoon.
"Okay, let's go to the fifth floor. There are restaurants there. It's on me. Thank you for coming out with
me today." Amber put down her wrist and said with a smile.
Stella nodded. "That's my great pleasure."
"You're welcome. Let's go." Amber took her arm.
They had just taken two steps when Stella suddenly stopped and pointed to a shop opposite them.
"Ms. Reed, isn't that Makenna's mother?"
Hearing this, Amber looked in the direction and saw Mrs. Gardner.
She should have just finished her beauty routine. She looked radiant, not like a woman in her fifties at
all.
"It's not a good day to go out today. I saw both the pesky daughter and her mother. The world is so
small." Stella sighed.
Amber smiled and said, "Well, after all, everyone is in Olkmore. It's normal for us to bump into each
other easily."
Perhaps because their gazes were too obvious, Mrs. Gardner, who was opposite them, noticed them
and looked over.
Seeing that it was Amber, Mrs. Gardner frowned and looked unhappy.
Amber was not angry. Instead, she nodded and smiled at her.
Mrs. Gardner turned her head away coldly and walked into to a store in front of her without responding.
Stella rolled her eyes. "Look, like mother, like daughter. No wonder Makenna is such a pain in the ass."
"Well, forget them! Aren't you hungry? Let's go." Amber looked away.
Stella nodded and walked with her to the escalator.
However, they did not expect to meet Mrs. Gardner again after dinner.
However, this time, Mrs. Gardner did not find them. After coming out of the DT Jewelry Store, she left
directly.
And when she left, she didn't look well, as if she was very disappointed.
Amber couldn't help but think of the last time when she took her daughter's necklace to consult in the
store. Later, the people in the store told Mrs. Gardner about the daughter's necklace.
Therefore, Mrs. Gardner suspected that Makayla Gardner was still alive and began to look for her.
Just now, Mrs. Gardner had come out of the DT Store with a disappointed face. Was it because of
Makayla Gardner?
Thinking of this, Amber narrowed her beautiful eyes. "Stella, can you do me a favor?"
"What's wrong?"
Amber said in a low voice, "Help me find out why Mrs. Gardner went to DT Store."
"Why do you ask this?" Stella looked curious and puzzled.
Amber's eyes flickered. "Something's up. It's very important. Please help me."
"All right, I'll handle it." Stella handed her the bubble tea.
After Amber took it over, Stella went to the DS Store.
About a few minutes later, she came back.
Amber returned the milk tea to her. "How is it? Have you asked?"
"Got it." Stella took the bubble tea and nodded, "The staff in the store said that Mrs. Gardner wanted to
ask if they had seen a woman with a necklace who had come here recently."
"As expected." Amber bit her lips.
Mrs. Gardner didn't find Makayla Gardner, so she came to the store to try her luck.
"Ms. Amber, what kind of riddle are you playing?" Stella could not hold back her curiosity.
Amber laughed. "It's nothing. Mrs. Gardner is looking for her eldest daughter."
"The eldest daughter?" Stella was very surprised. "Does she have other daughters?"
"Yes, her eldest daughter is Makayla Gardner, and Makenna is her younger sister." Amber nodded and
answered.
Stella suddenly understood. "I see. But why are you so concerned about this?"
"Her eldest daughter has something to do with the Reed family." Amber pinched the space between her
eyebrows and said, "Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back first."
Stella nodded.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when they returned to Kelsington Bay.
Amber put the things she bought on the sofa, took her mobile phone back to her room, and dialed
Hayden's number.
Hayden was both surprised and delighted to see her call.
After all, it was very rare for her to contact him.
"Did you call because you miss me?" Hayden's casual voice came.
Amber knew his character and liked to say some fancy words, so she was not angry. Instead, she
smiled and said, "Knock it off. I have something important to say." NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
"Even if there is something serious, you can say first that you miss me." Hayden sighed.
Amber found funny and annoying. "Okay, okay, I miss you. Is that okay?"
Hayden knew that her words "I miss you" were perfunctory, fake, and to make him happy.
But he was still very happy.
"Fine."
Amber chuckled.
Hayden coughed and said, "Tell me, what's the important?"
"I met Mrs. Gardner today. Mrs. Gardner is asking about Makayla's whereabouts, so I want to ask you,
have you found something new about her?" Amber sat by the bed and asked seriously.
Hayden laughed and said, "You asked just in time. I did find something."
"What?" Amber straightened her back and asked, "What is it?"
"First of all, Makayla Gardner is still alive. To confirm this, I even went through the files and found an
old policeman who was in charge of this case. And he told me that the one your father threw into the
river was not Makayla at all, but a toy doll." Hayden replied.
Amber narrowed her eyes when she heard that. "I've guessed so. I've already guessed that my father
threw something else into the river."
"That's totally right." Hayden nodded.
Amber clenched her phone tightly. "Then where is Makayla now?"
"I don't know. Although your father didn't throw Makayla into the river, he did kidnap her. In fact, except
your father, no one knows about this, neither does the old policeman."
Amber's brows furrowed tightly. "How could this be? The clues are cut off again."
"Yeah, so it's not easy to find Makayla Gardner." Hayden scratched his hair.
Amber bit her lips, "You just mentioned you found something else?"
