Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Pay off My Bet

Jared who dressed in a black cloak entered. His attractive features and cool demeanor still cause a

flutter in Amber’s emotions. She locked her gaze on him for a few moments before lowering her head.

Even after their divorce, he was still able to influence her emotional state.

“Hello Mr. Farrell,” Chloe, the second person to see Jared greeted him. “Makenna mentioned that you

are busy working, yet, you are still here to pick her up?”

Jared responded with a simple nod and was slightly annoyed seeing Amber.

Did she forget what happened previously at Red Plum Club?

He didn’t believe Hayden when he told him Amber and Makenna were playing poker. He knew Amber

sucked at poker and wouldn’t do something stupid like playing with Makenna. But Hayden managed to

lure him here by sending him a photograph.

“Didn’t you mention you were coughing this afternoon?” Jared asked Makenna, who was looking a little

pale. “Why are you here instead of resting?” He asked softly.

“It’s not something serious,” Makenna said with a smile, “And I want to welcome Gigi to our

city.”

Jared had heard about Gigi from South Riverside and he knew Mel Garland.

He took off his scarf and put it around Makenna’s neck, causing the other ladies to look at her

enviously.

“Mr. Farrell, we know you care so much about Makenna but it’s warm in here, she isn’t that cold,” Chloe

said, “But your care for her makes us envy.”

“Get out you,” Makenna joked as she flushed at Chloe’s words.

“All right, I’ll shut up.”

Jared’s acts, such as putting the scarf around Makenna’s neck and bringing her hot beverage,

were like sharp blades stabbing Amber’s heart.

When Makenna challenged her for a deal, she wanted her to leave Jared and never return to Olkmore,

but after seeing how Jared treated her, she changed her mind.

“Ms. Reed’s isn’t good at poker,” Jared said, sweeping his gaze over Amber’s cards. “It’s no

pleasure playing with such a rookie, and let me play with you after this round.”

Makenna’s smile froze for a second as she heard this, but she accepted meekly.

Meanwhile, Chloe noticed Amber was winning and wanted to inform Makenna, but Amber didn’t make

a move, so Makenna called for the win instead. “Ms. Reed, I’ll take this round as

well.”

“Wow, Makenna, you’re a fantastic player; you’ve got a full house!”

“You must pay off your bet Amber,” Gigi stated as she handed the server a bundle of cash. “Find us a

tattoo artist as soon as possible.”

“Yes, right away.”

“What is all this about?” Jared asked Makenna, puzzled by what was going on.

“I’m informed that Ms. Reed has your initials tattooed on her body… It was her who wanted to

bet and promised to have the tattoo removed if she lost,” Makenna murmured gently, biting her

lower lips.

“Ms. Gardner, you were the one who initiated the bet at the restaurant earlier and wanted her

to remove the ‘JF’ letters on her waist if she lost, but now you’re claiming otherwise?” Stella

inquired. “You’re being nasty.”

“Stop spouting nonsense,” Chloe chastised, knowing that everyone was on her side. “Is it

terrible to not want her boyfriend’s name on someone else’s body? Also, Makenna invited her to

play poker but did not compel her to do so with a gun to her head; she agreed voluntarily.”

her.

“No one compelled her to accept the deal,” said another lady.

Apart from Stella, the rest of them were Makenna’s pals, and they would undoubtedly protect

The tattoo artist arrived with his toolbox right in the thick of their quarrel.

“That’s enough, I lost the bet and will pay off my debt,” Amber remarked calmly to Makenna as she

moved and laid on the sofa, lifted her sweater, revealing the JF tattoo on her waist, and the artist began

working immediately.

Amber lied silently while the tattoo artist worked on it. Jared scowled irritably as he looked at

the tattoo on her waist.

This sight reminded hint of what Maple Leaf said in the letter about one of her favorite

celebrities having his wife’s name tattooed on his body after she died, giving him the sensation that she

was still with him every day.

Maple Leaf stated that, despite her phobia of pain, she would endure it in order to get her lover’s name

tattooed on her so that he could be by her side at all times.

“Can you recall what you

said about tattoos in your letter?” He asked Makenna a question

“I can’t remember everything,” Makenna said, shaking her head and clutching his arm. “Jared, am I

wrong to make Ms. Reed remove the tattoo?” She said, her eyes wet.

“No,” Jared murmured tenderly as he stroked her hair.

Makenna leaned her head on Jared’s shoulder and nodded.

She was relieved that she had burned all of the letters after Jared left to work that morning; she wanted

to permanently erase Maple Leaf from his heart.

She was overjoyed to watch Amber in pain as the tattoo was being removed, and she eventually

defeated Amber!

“Makenna offered you a chance to surrender, but you blew it!” Chloe said, her arms folded in front of

her chest. “Before accepting a bet, Ms. Reed, you should learn how to play poker.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Hearing her comments, the other women chuckled while glancing at Amber.

Amber’s forehead was drenched in sweat during the process, and she didn’t have the energy to

entertain Chloe. In the midst of all of this, a server walked in asking for her, “May I know who

Ms. Reed is?”

“I am,” Amber responded.

“Someone called Mr. Lynch has sent you a present,” the server stated as he handed over a tiny

bag.

“Thank you.” Amber opened the bag and pulled out the box inside on the spot to distract. herself from

the pain. Inside was a ring beautifully put on top of a piece of blue silk fabric.

The ring was created in the shape of a wheatear leaf and glistened beneath the lights.

“This is a ring by the famous designer Maestro K”, Stella said, instantly recognizing the ring. “K

handcrafted this ring, which was sold in an auction last month at Rockinglet Island for over 800

thousand dollars.”

“Like Corazón Azul, this is the only design in the entire world.”

“It’s gorgeous!”

All of the women’s eyes were drawn to the ring, which they wanted to try on, take some photos. and

show off on Instagram.

Amber also received two text messages.
