Elliot proudly waved the phone in his hand. “This Mr. Black is Rodney Barron’s future father-in-law. I was worried that I wouldn’t have a chance to settle Channing, but unexpectedly, I got here just in time. I’ve recorded what he said to you just now, and now I’ll just have to wait for him to compromise.”

“Elliot Thomson, why are you so despicable?” Amber was so annoyed that she wanted to slap him in the face. Who said that Elliot was merely a playboy? He was better than anyone in availing oneself of every opportunity.

“You’re defending him?” Elliot was a little angry. “He can be your father at his age and has a family already. What’s so good about such a person?”

“The relationship between us is not what you think.”

“Then what kind of relationship is that?” Elliot asked.

“It’s hard to explain. I’ll tell you next time.”

“No! If you want to say it, then say it now, or I’ll report it tomorrow,” stated Elliot explicitly. Looking at how Amber defended Channing, anger was building up in his heart. “There’s no way I would tolerate anyone who tries to take my woman. If Mr. Black dares to covet my woman, I’ll end his life!”

“Taking your woman? Elliot Thomson, what nonsense are you spouting?”

“Amber Stone, no matter what you think, I have to make it clear to you. Now, you are the woman I fancy. No one should covet the woman I like, not even the king!”

Elliot was totally not a normal person, it was impossible to speak with him with a normal person’s line of reasoning. Amber was so angry that she stamped her feet. “He… he’s my father.”

“What did you say?” Elliot thought that something was wrong with his ears. “Your surname is Stone, and his surname is Black?”

“My mom’s surname is Stone!”

“How is this possible?” Elliot stared at Amber in surprise. After a while, he said “You… you’re an illegitimate child?”

“You are the illegitimate child!” Amber cut him off.

“If you’re not an illegitimate child, why didn’t anyone know about your relationship with Mr. Black?” Elliot asked.

“This is none of your business, just stop asking.” Amber had no patience to explain this issue to him.

Elliot suddenly thought of something. “Amber Stone, no wonder you knew so much inside story about the bidding. Was it Channing who told you?”

“Yes.” Amber nodded. “Elliot Thomson, I’ve already helped you win the urban construction project. As for the relationship between Channing and me, you have to help me and keep it a secret. You better not let a third party know about it.”

“No way!” Elliot answered firmly with a smirk on his face.

“Why not?”
