164 I Wonder How You Entertain Each Other

"Both of them are stronger when they are together, that for sure I can tell," was his last words before they heard Amber laughing downstairs in the garden.

Both went out to the balcony to see what's going on.

*****

The moment Ashton entered the room and Amber were alone on the garden, Carla approached her.

"Look at you now, you should really just leave him. Grandmother's words are the one being followed in this family."

Amber looked at her with a deadpan look as if she was bored at even looking at Carla.

"Still acting the white lotus, I see. And what other advise do you have for me?" she said in a bored manner.

"Simple, just give up. Someone like you who only has a humble birth and just an employee of SNN which is just on the starting line is no match for him," Carla didn't back down either and said.

"Wow," Amber scoffed upon hearing this.

She was actually sitting on the table with a fork and knife in front of her, for a dessert was served to her the moment she came out.

On the other hand, Carla was currently leaning on the tree facing her.

Amber picked up the knife and played with it, only looking at it.

"Tell me, I can hear from your voice that you are telling me that the one who should be beside him is you. But..."

She looked up and her eyes were sharp, "What can you do?"

"Are you threatening me with that look?" Carla scoffed as well.

"Easy, my father was a major shareholder of the Wright Empire, I can help him in many ways," was what she added.

Amber started laughing.

This was in time for Ashton to come but he remained inside not intending to interrupt them.

Gideon and Cathrine heard this laugh.

Carla furrowed her brows not understanding why Amber was laughing.

"Let me ask you then, what did you graduate with?"

The knife never stopped spinning on her hand.

"Business management and I am the top of the class," was her reply.

"Hmmm," Amber nodded.

"Then how will you protect him?"

"Huh?"

Carla didn't understand what she was asking.

"Well, he is in a line that was very dangerous. Are you going to just remain supporting him from behind?" Amber asked.

"I knew some martial arts, so he didn't need to worry about me and he can go full force in whatever he needs to do," was her reply.

"I guess you didn't hear my question, I'm asking you, how will you protect him?" Amber's voice turned dangerous upon saying this.

Somehow Carla felt shivers run down her spine and she broke into cold sweat.

Cathrine and Gideon who were listening from above were also shock.

Gideon knew she has strength and capabilities but this was the first time he witnessed her like this.

"And I told you, I knew martial arts," Carla retorted.

"I..."

"How about knives? Shall we try?"

The moment she finished, she threw the knife she had been playing with and it hit the tree, just beside Carla's head.

It didn't scratch her or anything, not even her hair was damaged, instead it was just a few centimeters away from the last strand.

Carla was too shock that she was trembling in fear, to which Amber laughed at.

"Trembling over such a simple thing? How will you stand beside him now?"

Cathrine remembered her stupid question of telling Amber that she didn't want Ashton to be put in danger.

Ashton and Amber were the same, she was not blindly going for revenge, instead she can back it up not just with her brain but with her as a whole.

"Amber..."

Amber heard him call but she heard a very different tone on it so upon turning around to look at him, she was already vigilant.

The moment she saw the gun pointing at her, she herself rolled to the side, pulling a small gun from her back.

She was wearing a lose shirt and jeans together with a jacket and rubber shoes, that the gun behind her was not obvious.

After pulling it out, she instantly aimed it at him.

These movements shock Gideon and Cathrine so much, even the guards stationed outside.

Kyle, Liana and Ashley couldn't help but to feel their hearts jump to their throats.

They didn't expect for these two to actually pull such a thing.

"Don't scare her too much," Amber said as she stood up and put back the gun behind her.

Ashton shrugged and put the gun on his holster.

Carla slowly looked at them, her feet gave way and she was now seating on the ground. The color of her face was drained and she was trembling so much.

"Still willing to take her place?" he asked Carla but compared to how he look at her in the past, this time it was very cold.

Carla couldn't speak she remained seated just looking at him, her eyes were filled with fear.

Cathrine looked at Gideon while pointing at them downstairs.

"Don't ask me, this is my first time seeing them do such thing as well."

Cathrine looked down again, she can handle knives and can use guns as if it was part of her. Her movements were smooth.

Compared to Carla who was all dress up today, even showing too much skin, Amber was wearing such casual clothes but it seems that Ashton wants that better.

She can also see how much the two of them were in sync.

Ashton just called for her name but she moved as if she was expecting what he just did, pointing a gun at her.

She didn't hear anything wrong with Ashton's voice but it seems that Amber did.

"We should really just support them, Price or whoever it is that they will face, I can tell that both of them will surely be fine," Gideon commented with a laugh.

But he too felt fear upon watching them, it's as if they were so used with holding their guns and were ready to kill anyone as long as they deem them unworthy.

"Ah, that's right. I kept forgetting, there's something I want to ask you," her voice turned cheerful.

Almost everyone turned agape upon hearing the 180 degrees change in her attitude, where was that scary person a while ago?

Cathrine even thought she was hearing things but even Amber's face turned completely different from her vigilant look a while ago.

"What?"

"This..." she raised her left hand, showing her engagement ring.

"Do you still dream of becoming a jewelry designer?"

Ashton furrowed his brows and realized she was talking about the fact that she was referring to him designing the engagement ring.

"No, that was just a whim when I was young, currently I am fine with what I am doing," he answered.

"Really?"

He nodded.

"Really, really?" she continued as she walked towards him.

Ashton chuckled and placed a hand on top of her head when she reached him.

"Really, I no longer have any desire in doing that."

Both were already on their own world as if Carla was not there trembling on the side.

Kyle and Liana looked at each other and couldn't help but to shake their heads, these two really.

"Oh that's right," Amber started as she look at Carla.

"Your father is a major shareholder of their company? Are you sure you are the only one?"

After saying that, Amber went inside and Ashton just followed.

Gideon furrowed his brows at the same time Cathrine looked at him.

"Did she know about her mother's family?" she asked.

"I don't know, she was not acting in any way that says, she knew him. If I remember correctly, James was in the gala but despite seeing him, she didn't show anything," was his reply.

Both of them fell into confusion but they didn't bother going down to ask. This was her family matter after all, if she knew of her grandfather, surely she has her own plans.

Carla who saw that no one is going to help her even seeing the two from above, who were not looking at her at all, slowly stood up and left without saying goodbye.

Her departure didn't bother anyone, even Cathrine, for she had seen all the changes in Carla. How much she became a devil on an angel's skin.

Plus, Ashton already found who he wants, she can no longer push Carla into him.

It was not long after that the two of them bid goodbye.

"You two, I wonder just how you entertain each other," Gideon commented as they were about to leave.

"You just witnessed it," Amber grinned.

Gideon shook his head defeatedly, "Go on and take care on your way home. Also I know you're just in vacation, take care of yourself over there."

"Got it, grandfather. Please take care as well. You too madam, please take care of your health."

Cathrine who remained silent was stunned when she suddenly spoke to her just like how she normally did in the past.

"We will be leaving now, auntie, uncle, you too brat. Study well."

"You don't have to repeat it, I will surely become successful just you watch," Ashley replied.

Despite being shaken from the display a while ago, she came to like Amber even more. She was strong inside out.

Amber smiled before bowing to them.

"Hey, it is your birthday, you should at least thank them for giving birth to you and for celebrating it today," she then said to Ashton who remained standing in the side.

To which Ashton followed, "Thank you for today, we shall be going now."

"Go and take care," was all they said.

They knew that these two will surely be fine. No matter what else they would face, now that they are together, they will surely be fine.
