Chapter 22 Do You Want Me to Dispose the Ring?
“The juice is so sweet.” Makenna smiled at Jared nicely and put the glass on the table. “Thank you for
remembering what I like.”
His lips curled up, “I remember all the things you like. I know a nice fruit farm. I will ask the owner to
send two boxes of mangoes to your house. If you want to eat something else, you can tell me.”
“Yeah,” she responded with difficulty.
She started to feel uncomfortable, pushing away the chair and stood up with a paler face. “I‘ll go to the
bathroom. Jared, you can chat with my father for a while longer.”
She lifted the hem of her skirt, turned around and walked away as fast as she could.
She grew up allergic to mangoes and only a bite could make her severely sick. Before she reached the
bathroom, she found it hard to breathe. Then she twisted her ankle and almost fell.
“Makenna, Makenna!” Mrs. Gardner hurried to her and held her.
Mrs. Gardner looked at her uncomfortable look and got anxious. “Are you crazy? You are allergic to
mangoes. Why did you drink the mango juice Jared gave you? You‘re killing yourself!”
“Mom, I feel so bad…” Makenna wheezed, clutching her mother‘s hand. “Go get a doctor and don‘t tell
Jared about it. If he asks you, you must tell him that I love to eat mangoes.”
“Don’t say these things now!” Mrs. Gardner scolded, trying to help her get to the rest room.
However, after only a few steps, Makenna fainted and collapsed on her directly.
“Makenna!” Mrs. Gardner almost cried out, not knowing what to do. “Help! Somebody helps
us!”
In the banquet hall, Jared had a long chat with Trenton. When he looked at his watch, he found twenty
minutes had passed. But Makenna still did not return.
Since her body was still weak, Jared feared that something might happen to her. So he got up, saying,
“Mr. Gardner, I‘ll go look for Makenna.”

“She accompanied us for a whole day and felt tired and sleepy. I let her rest in the lounge.”
She added, “Jared, you must be exhausted too. Go home and have a good rest. When she is awake,
we will bring her back home.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Gardner. When I am not so busy, I hope you and Mr. Gardner will be gracious enough
to have a meal with my mother.”
She smiled, “Sure. Be careful on your way.”
He took his suit jacket and left. When he turned around at the door, he saw Mrs. Gardner saying
something to Trenton. Then the two walked towards the back of the banquet hall in a hurry.
On the roadside, Ben, his assistant, was already waiting there. When seeing him come out, he
hurriedly pulled open the back door of the car.
The car drove smoothly towards the Farrell family house.
It was quiet in the car. But Jared felt more irritable, recalling the things that Amber did and said at the
banquet.
And he also thought of the gentle and handsome youth beside her.
He tugged at his tie and after a while, he asked Ben in a low voice, “Have you found out about Jeremy
Lynch‘s family background?”
“Yes.” Ben report to him truthfully, “Jeremy was born in Ensford Town which was a poor place near the
mountains with undeveloped transportation. There is a school ten kilometers away from that place. Six
years ago, when Miss Reed went there to visit the poor children, she met him and chose to sponsor
him.”
“After he came out of the mountains, he was scouted by FYM Entertainment on his way to a summer
job. Now he is the most expensive male model at FYM. He is also particularly smart. With his help,
Miss Reed became one of the shareholders of Goldstone Co. within a short time.” he added.
As he finished, Jared commented, “Amber controls Goldstone Co. with the shares in her hands. But if
the other shareholders do not listen to her, the company won’t survive for long. She hadn’t been in
business before, so she understands nothing.”
“Yes.” Ben agreed, “Mr. Farrell, although you were forced to marry Miss Reed, I could see that you still
care about her. She just took over Goldstone. Co. and you feared that Mr. Gardner would revenge on
her in business out of love for his own daughter, so you gave her Corazón Azul and let her leave.”
Jared closed his eyes for a rest and after a while, he said, “She often goes to the Farrell family
residence to accompany grandmother. I thank her for this.”
Ben smiled, “Yes. Lady Georgia likes Miss Reed a lot.”
Jared was well aware of it.
Every time he and Amber went back to the Farrell family residence, his grandma would hold Amber’s
hand and talked to her nonstop. But when he took Makenna to see his grandma, she showed her
dislike right in Makenna’s face.
Thinking that Lady Georgia did not like Makenna, he felt a bit irritated and said coldly, “Do you always
talk so much?”
Ben immediately shut up.
At this time, Jared‘s phone in his suit pocket vibrated and he felt a small hard object when fumbling for
his phone.
He checked his phone first. It was a message from Makenna. She asked him if he had arrived home.
After replying the message, he looked at the ring in his hand under the car light. Then he instantly
remembered that day he went to the court to divorce Amber. After coming out, he took off the wedding
ring and casually threw it into his suit pocket.
Maybe the maids saw it was something valuable and dared not to move it. So after cleaning his suit,
they put it back into his pocket.
Staring at the ring for a long time, he asked, “Did I buy the ring myself?”
Ben looked at him and the ring from the rearview mirror and said carefully, “When you married Miss
Reed, you said if you gave things like wedding dress and wedding ring to her, it would be hard for you
to face Miss Gardner in the future. So when you got married, there was no wedding dress, no wedding

“You let Miss Reed to choose the ring herself, but. After a slight pause, Ben added, “You didn‘t give her
any money, nor did you ask me to handle it. So Miss Reed bought the ring herself.”
Hearing his words, Jared stared at the ring with a gloomier face. He remembered the day of divorce.
She seemed to be in high spirit, so cheery and glowing and even a bit proud.
During their six years of marriage, she never asked anything from him. Even when they got divorce,
she took nothing from him.
When seeing him remain silent, Ben asked after deliberation, “Mr. Farrell, do you want me to dispose
the ring for you?”
“When you arrive at the office tomorrow morning, compile a file about Maxmatch.” Jared said in a quiet
voice, “Hayden’s company has partnered with Goldstone Co., so you can send the documents to
Goldstone in his name.”
“Okay.” Ben was familiar with his boss‘s working style and instantly understood what he meant.
“Goldstone has long been in decline. If they can get Maxmatch successfully, maybe they will have a
chance to turn around. But I am afraid that Goldstone Co. does not have enough funds.”
Jared said, “It depends on how Amber will handle the Corazón Azul. The fate of Goldstone is in her
hands.”
Ben could not help but say, “I think Jeremy is quite good. Since he can easily help Miss Reed become
a new shareholder of Goldstone, and if Miss Reed asks him for help, maybe the company wil.”
While saying that, he suddenly noticed the change of the atmosphere in the car.
He instantly shut up and drove quietly.
Jared landed his eyes on the ring again. All these years, when he attended all kinds of banquets and
parties wearing this ring, it helped him reject many women. In this sense, he felt the ring was not totally
useless.
After a few seconds, he put the ring back into his suit pocket and said to Ben, “If Goldstone was unable
to acquire Maxmatch, you send someone to help.”
Ben replied, “Okay.
