Chasing My Rejected Wife

Chapter 38

After Elliot left, Ashton cleaned up the mess. Amber’s leg was injured so she couldn’t help. She lay on the lounge chair and surfed the Internet. In view of the aggressive questions from Rodney last night, she opened the TV station’s blind date website to see what had happened. The result shocked Amber a lot.

Looking at those posts that were full of attack and abuse, and the people who had threatened to human flesh search her ex-husband and evil mother-in-law, Amber had a headache. Things seemed to have developed in an unknown direction. This was not what she wanted to see. She called up Noemi and said, “Noemi, how can we let these public opinions disappear?”

“I was just about to call you,” Noemi replied. “It was indeed out of our expectations that things would turn out like this. Now, it’s not just about someone wanting to human flesh search your ex-husband and evil mother-in-law. This afternoon, a group of posts appeared, questioning about you. Those people believed that all of this was caused by you, for the fame and by the TV station, to hype things up. They also believed that there was no jerk or evil mother-in-law at all, let alone a mistress. When this post appeared, it was immediately reposted many times. Judging from how fast it happened, I suspect that Rodney is behind all these?”

“Him? He shouldn’t be so lame, right?”

“It’s hard to say. Now that the Internet is full of cursing. Although no one knows that the evil mother-in- law and the jerk are his mother and him. But as the person involved, seeing such posts must have felt unbearable. He will definitely find a way to distract the attention away from it.”

“He came to find me last night,” Amber told her about Rodney coming to see her last night.

Noemi sneered. “What reason does he have to come to you? Amber, you are too kind. If I were you, I would definitely reveal his name. Not only would I let him bear the pressure of public opinion, but also ruin the reputation of that mistress.”

“Forget it. It’s all in the past. Noemi, I really don’t want to have anything to do with him. Do you understand?”

“I know. I’m just very angry. Amber, you don’t know how disgusting Rodney Barron is. In order to suppress those comments and attacks, he actually asked someone to call our chief operator. Saying that he invested and sponsored the program not for the TV station to hype up a certain person. Our chief operator was so stressed that he held a special meeting just to talk about this matter and asked everyone to come up with a way to deal with it.”

“Was there any idea?”

“Since all that happened because of you, everyone agreed to have a customised round of blind date for you so that we can find a man that you like as soon as possible. If you found a person you like, as you leave, this matter will definitely come to an end.”

Noemi told Amber the content of the TV station’s meeting on that day, “Now we’re having an audition for the participants based on your conditions for a partner. There’s a continuous stream of people applying. The announcement of the audition was made at noon today. The number of people who signed up has reached thousands. I’m confident that you can find a man who really loves you and that you’ll like.”

“I hope so!” Amber sighed. Noemi had tried her best, then this shall be it for this matter. Hopefully, she could find the person who would accompany her for the rest of her life among so many candidates.

The person who called and pressured the TV station was not Rodney, but his special assistant, Deon. It can be said that Deon knew everything between Rodney and Amber. When he saw his boss being scolded, he was naturally unhappy, so he called the superiors of the TV station to put pressure on them.

Because of this phone call, the public relations team of the TV station immediately changed their strategy. They began to widely spread the news on the customised round for Amber. Although doing so reduced the scolding towards the evil mother-in-law and the scumbag ex-husband, but it was not much of a good thing for Rodney.

When Rodney turned on the computer and saw that the TV station was publicly seeking potential partners for Amber and was even making a customised round for her, he ferociously scolded Deon, “Who asked you to make that call? Are you too free?”

“I was just angry when I saw those comments….” Deon felt wronged.

“I would rather be scolded than see her choosing a man! B*stard!” Rodney was so mad, Deon remained silent and thought, “Boss had finally told the truth just now.”

To watch one’s beloved woman choosing a man like a queen, which man would feel good in his heart? He had indeed settled this in a wrong way, and he deserved to be scolded.

Elliot was very irritated by Amber’s customised round of blind date as well. He sneered at Amber. “It seems that you’re really amazing now. Oh, so popular!”

“Isn’t it all because of your good deeds?” Amber glared at him. “If you didn’t go, I would stay till the end and then quietly receive my reward. But now? Great, I have to endure all these before even receiving my benefits.”

“That’s definitely not what you mean!” Elliot looked at Amber from top to toe. “You must be very happy in your heart. After all, this round of blind date is specially made for you. To put it bluntly, it’s you choosing a man. Don’t you feel like a king choosing a concubine?”

“Elliot Thomson! Nothing good comes out of your filthy mouth!” Amber glared at him.

“You see, since I’ve already sacrificed myself for you once. You should thank me anyway, right? It makes me angry when I think about it now. I actually went all out for you, but how did you treat me? You didn’t even accept the flower, I don’t know how’s my reputation now. How do you expect me to continue to live in the future?”

“Thank you in your dreams!”

“Amber, I’m serious. If you can’t find someone you like this time, why don’t we compromise and settle with each other?”

“What do you mean?”

“Since I’ve been tricked by you. Surely I can’t find a woman in the future. Why don’t we make do with each other and spend our lives together?”

“I’m a divorced woman, and a single mother. Mr. Thomson, are you really willing to make do with me?” Amber reminded him.

“I’ll just suffer some loss, it’s fine.” Elliot smiled cheekily. “It seems like a good thing to have a son for free.”

“Thank you, Mr. Thomson, for being willing to suffer losses. Although I’m ordinary, I never want to make do with something. Please don’t make such jokes, thank you.”

“This woman is really shameless, do you really think that I’m interested in you? I’m just teasing you, okay?” Elliot’s face was flushed red.

This woman was really f*cking arrogant. She actually looked down on him. Elliot felt that he had been greatly embarrassed. Fortunately, it was just a joke to test her. If he was serious about it, wouldn’t heOriginal from NôvelDrama.Org.

have been even more embarrassed? Thinking about it, he was still angry. “Why are you standing there? I’m thirsty. Hurry up and make me some tea!”

Amber took the cup and went out quickly. There was a bang behind her. Elliot smashed something to the ground.

Amber sighed in her heart. “This playboy is so weak. At the first moment, he’s just fine and the next moment, he’d changed suddenly.” Thinking about their conversation just now, she didn’t offend him, right?

Because of this incident, Elliot’s attitude toward Amber began to worsen. He had been putting on a gloomy face for the past few days. When men became petty, there was really no way to say anything. Elliot was the best of the petty men. With this lesson, Amber secretly made a decision in her heart that she must never offend Elliot in the future.

In the blink of an eye, her customised round of blind date had also officially begun. When she went to ask for leave from Elliot, his face was as stiff as if Amber owed him a lot of money. Although he was all stern, he did not make things difficult for Amber at the end.

Because this round of blind date was specially held for Amber alone, Amber did not wear a mask. She appeared on the scene in a very ordinary attire.

Although she wore very ordinary clothes without any makeup, her appearance still stunned the whole audience. Her natural beauty without any retouch made the audience applaud for her appearance for a long time.

Amber sat on the stage in the seat that was prepared for her. She was very familiar with this stage already, so her behaviour was very natural. After sitting down, she naturally looked at the male guest seating area. Suddenly, she felt a chill. Amber withdrew her gaze subconsciously and looked at the source of the chillness. She was shocked. “Why is Rodney here?”

Amber was nervous when she saw Rodney. “What is he doing here?” she wondered.

Rodney had a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes. He looked at the woman on the stage coldly. When he saw her looking at the male guest seating area after she sat down, he felt very upset, as if his heart was stabbed.

“Amber Stone, are you really so eager to get married?”

The host began to host the show with a smile. “After a week of selection, we selected 50 male guests from the 20,000 male guests who participated in the selection process, who are most suited to Miss Amber Stone’s condition for a marriage partner. There will be two rounds of this customised blind date. The Barron Enterprises have provided great support for this customised round of blind date. We invited Mr. Barron, the president of the Barron Enterprises, to come to the scene. Let’s invite Mr. Barron invite to say a few words.”

As the ex-husband, being asked to say a few words while his ex-wife was seeking new marriage, this was undoubtedly the greatest insult for Rodney. However, no matter how ironic it was, he would still come. He had to come. He wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of man this woman would choose.

Rodney walked up to the stage with his usual calmness and a smile. He took the microphone from the host and walked over to stand next to Amber.

Seeing him walking to her side, Amber felt nervous. She obviously felt an invisible pressure and subconsciously clasped her hands together.

Rodney took note of her actions. Whenever Amber was nervous, she would hold her hands together. This habit was still maintained. “D*mn woman, you can actually be nervous?” He had wanted to take the opportunity to insult Amber with a few words, but he couldn’t bear it because of her action.

The words that were about to come out of his mouth were immediately cut off. “Although this blind date program is sponsored by the Barron Enterprises, it is so popular because of the appearance of a beautiful woman like Miss. Stone. Today, I came here to witness with my own eyes the finding of true love. I hope that the longer this show, the better it will be. I also hope that every single man and woman who participate in the show can find their own happiness.”

Amber didn’t expect him to stand beside her and speak a few words in such a business-like manner. Her heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, was immediately relieved. Rodney gave her a meaningful look and walked back to his seat.

The host picked up the microphone and began to explain about the rules of the night. This time, it was completely reversed. Everyone knew Amber’s information, so the male guests would introduce themselves to Amber. Amber would choose based on the information about the male guests and her first impression of them. The male guests who failed to be chosen would leave the stage, and the remaining would continue with the second round.

In the first round of self-introduction, Amber eliminated eight people.

Looking at the eight people who had been eliminated, the audience were very surprised because the eight people who had been eliminated were the best in all aspects among the 25 people.

Amber turned a blind eye to the surprise of the audience. She had already experienced such a painful lesson from Rodney, so she regarded men with good family backgrounds and good looks as a group of people who are ready to cheat from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, the eight people who were eliminated were actually innocent.

In the second round, she continued to eliminate a few more people. Now there were less than ten male guests remaining on the stage.

The third round was an interaction game. Amber would interact with the male guests to see their rapport. There were only two male guests left on the stage after the third round.

The last round was a love declaration. The remaining two male guests on the stage made their love declaration to Amber. In the face of their affectionate confession, Amber’s expression did not change at all.

Without exception, all the 25 male guests were eliminated that night.
