NovelEnglishWithout waiting for Carl to respond, Amber lowered her head timidly. "If it's a no, then... forget about it." "It's just driving a car. No problem." Carl didn't know how he should react. He lifted his hand and caressed the top of her head.
"I may not have command over the major things, but I can still make decisions over small matters like this. If no one drives that high-end Ferrari Mr. Schmidt gifted you, it will eventually be scrapped. That was also Mr. Schmidt's kind gesture toward you. Don't waste it. Drive it." Amber beamed. Yet, that alluring smile of hers was not reflected in her eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe drove her red sports car toward Solana City's largest antique jewelry gallery. They planned to get a birthday gift for Jameson from there.
A crystal oil burner caught Amber's eye. The shop owner sang praises of her for having a good eye.
She smiled sweetly. Just as she was about to swipe her card, Carl jumped ahead and paid seven million dollars without batting an eyelid.
"We've agreed that this will be my gift to Mr. Schmidt..."Amber furrowed her brows uneasily.
"It doesn't matter who pays for it. It's the scoming from either of us." Carl smiled at her as he returned his black card to his wallet. "I'm glad that you are being considerate of Mr. Schmidt. Even if it's 70 million dollars instead of seven million, I'm more than happy to pay for it. Plus, it's difficult for you to save up that bit of money. Just keep it." They left the gallery. Amber drove herself and Carl in her bright red sports car back to The Millennium.
Carl seemed to be transfixed by her the entire way. His eyes were fixed on her the whole time. She didn't dare to make any suspicious moves.

If she still didn't get it, Jameson would surely continue keeping her captive once he was discharged from the hospital. He might even make her disappear from Solana City without a trace! A drop of cold sweat trickled down Amber's face.
Just then, a white car was driving toward her in the opposite lane.
Amber gritted her teeth and braced herself. When Carl was distracted she seized this opportunity to turn the steering wheel and step on the accelerator. "Amber, be careful!" Carl's eyes widened in shock. He wanted to grab the steering wheel, but it was too late.
An earth-shattering boom sounded. Amber's Ferrari smashed into the white car! Her luxurious car was crushed. Even the car's airbag was deployed. Fortunately, she wasn't seriously injured.
"Amber! How are you? Are you alright?" Carl was drenched in sweat. He checked up on her worriedly. "Mm... I'm fine..." Amber panted heavily. Her face was as pale as a sheet. Her fragile appearance tugged at his heartstrings. "Carlton, are youolalright? I'm sorry... It's been too long since I last drove..." "It's alright. All's good as long as you are fine!" "Hurry on out to take a look... I'm not sure if the other driver is alright. We still have to handle this as a traffic accident." "Okay! Wait for me. I'll take you to the hospital shortly!" Upon saying that, Carl dashed out of the car.
Immediately after that, Amber unbuckled her seat belt. While enduring the throbbing pains in her body, she got out of the car quietly when Carl was interacting with the owner of the white car. She knelt on the ground, reached under the car with shaky hands, and scrabbled around for something. Suddenly, her hands froze. She touched a USB that was attached to the chassis of her car.
Amber welled up with tears of excitement. Her eyes turned red as she clenched tightly onto the USB in her palm.
