Chapter 85 Difficulties
Amelia saw his state, gently furrowed her brows, and then didn't look at him again, instead sitting expressionless in her chair.
After Amber finished watching the video, she stood quietly in the same spot, cautiously looking at Rachel.
Rachel looked coldly at her and said, "Amber, you don't seem surprised to see such a video. Did you perhaps already know something about it beforehand?" she asked.
Amber pursed her lips, not understanding the meaning behind Rachel's question. She hesitated whether to tell Rachel about what happened at the hospital in front of Frederick.
During the time she was hospitalized, Frederick had actually used the pretext of visiting her to see Amelia. They had been together behind Rachel's back for a long time.
After contemplating for a while, Amber ultimately chose to keep quiet.
After all, she still wanted to leave a good impression on Frederick.
Amber said, "No, I don't know anything."
She whispered her answer, looking at Frederick to the side.
Frederick, however, was staring fixedly at the tablet, his deep expression suggesting that he was reminiscing about something.
Amber's expression stiffened suddenly.
Amelia also noticed Frederick's gaze, and she took back the tablet.
"The journalist who released this video is called Jimmy. Ms. Roberts, you are friends with Jimmy, right?" Amelia asked.
Amber nodded lightly and calmly said, "Although I am friends with Jimmy, he rarely discusses work matters with me. Ms. Davis, do you suspect that I instructed Jimmy to expose you and Frederick?"
Amelia, in response to her counter-question, lifted her head and calmly looked at her, leaving people unable to guess what she was thinking.
Amber felt a bit nervous. "Ms. Davis, if I wanted to do that, then I would have exposed you and Frederick back at the hospital. This has nothing to do with me."
Rachel raised an eyebrow, intentionally focusing on the key point. "The hospital?"
Amber looked a bit frightened and immediately stopped talking when she glanced at Frederick.
Rachel looked at Frederick, trying to figure out something. She was curious about what had happened at the hospital.
Amelia didn't react for a moment. 'What's happened at the hospital?' she wondered, looking at Amber with confusion.
Amber, however, didn't mention the hospital anymore. Instead, she looked at Rachel and said again, "Ms. Rachel, this has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe me, I can call Jimmy right now." Amber pulled out her phone to prove her innocence and dialed Jimmy's number.
Rachel didn't stop her and leaned back in her seat.
The lawyers from The Davis Group were already preparing to sue Jimmy.
The Hastings Group was also dealing with this matter.
So, Amber's phone call had no impact on them.
Rachel just wanted to suppress Amber a bit, to show her that her so-called dream lover didn't hold any position in Frederick's heart either.
Jimmy was still immersed in his own fantasy of promotion.
When he saw Amber's call, he didn't hesitate to answer.
"Hey Amber," Jimmy said.
Amber took a deep breath and put her phone on speaker, asking, "Jimmy, you filmed the video of Ms. Davis and Frederick. Why didn't you tell me anything? It will have a big negative impact on Frederick."
There were a few seconds of silence from Jimmy's side before he earnestly spoke, "I knew you would stop me, so I didn't tell you. Amber, I thought Mr. Hastings still had some genuine feelings for you, but I never expected to see that scene. If he's like that, why should you care about him?"
Amber's eyes welled up with tears, and she tightly bit her lip.
Rachel looked at Amber's reaction with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
Amber pursed her lips and continued talking to Jimmy. "But you shouldn't have exposed this just for attention."
Clearly, Jimmy didn't want to have a deeper conversation with Amber, so he casually found an excuse to end the call.
Amber sighed with relief. Luckily, Jimmy didn't say much, and she had fully proven her innocence in this matter.
She held her phone tightly and looked at Frederick, saying, "Frederick, I will talk to Jimmy and have this video deleted."
Frederick responded coldly, "No need for that."
The damage had already been done, deleting the video would not do much.
Amber's expression froze for a moment.
Rachel smiled and looked at Frederick, saying, "Mr. Hastings, you seem to want this matter to be exposed, don't you?"
Just now, Rachel had learned from Tina that the Hastings Group had increased the exposure of the video, instantly capturing the attention of netizens who wanted to see a show.
The relevant personnel from the Hastings Group had already started to clarify the situation and intended to expose Amelia and Frederick's secret marriage.
Amber listened to Rachel's words, her expression somewhat blank.
"She should not be so calm when betrayed by her own husband and younger sister," she thought.
She frowned and looked at Amelia.
Amelia pinched the bridge of her nose, took a deep breath, and her expression showed no remorse for what she had done to Rachel.
Amber noticed a hostile look from Amelia's eyes directed towards her.
If this matter was not clarified, both Rachel and her would be constantly targeted by those netizens. The Davis Group and the Hastings Group would also be affected.
So, despite being married to Frederick for three years without being exposed, they had now been exposed in less than a month after their divorce. She cast a displeased glance at Frederick, her eyes carrying blame.
Frederick looked at her and smiled.
At that moment, Felix walked in, holding a tablet in his hand and handed it to Frederick.
Frederick lowered his head and saw that it was the announcement prepared by the Hastings Group. He carefully reviewed it and then clicked the send button.
"I have already sent the clarification announcement," he said.
Rachel nodded and said, "I am also ready."
Amber's expression on her face changed slightly upon hearing the conversation between the two. Her grip on her phone instinctively tightened. She really wanted to know how the Hastings Group and the Davis family had made the announcement.
She took a deep breath, restrained her emotions, and resisted the urge to check her phone.
Amelia appeared cold and distant. She stood up from her seat and politely said, "Thank you, Mr. Hastings."
Rachel raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you going home? I'll have Carl escort you."
Amelia nodded and said, "Okay."
Frederick heard her and stood up from his seat to look at Amelia. "I'll walk you," he said.
Amelia frowned and declined. "You don't have to," she said, quickening her pace as she walked away.
Frederick watched her back and furrowed his brow.
After that kiss, Amelia seemed to be more resistant towards him.
Rachel sat in her seat, enjoying the spectacle, and clicked her tongue. "Mr. Hastings, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to win back my sister."
Frederick became somewhat displeased.
"Difficult? Nothing is ever difficult for me," he thought.
