Chapter 18 The Big Gift

There were people all around watching the fun, but Amber ignored them.

She just looked at Jared who was on one knee, with a wry smile on her face, then turned to Mrs. Gardner and spoke in an offhand manner, “First of all, I‘m sorry I came uninvited. Secondly, who can guarantee that the video that went viral online is real? You said you have a score to settle with me from six years ago. Well, I have to tell you, I was wrongly accused.”

“Yeah, look how she scared Miss Gardner! She‘s gone too far.”
