Chapter 1 She’s a Cripple

Author: Bright Eyes
Harbor Mall. At the car park, a silver Audi was shaking.

There was a crack in the trunk.

Melanie Jones was hiding in the trunk as she listened to the sounds of a man and a woman panting in the car. Her heart twitched painfully.

Without telling her fiancé, Melanie had finished her work early to come home sooner. She decorated and filled the trunk with balloons. She then dressed up as a huge present and climbed into the trunk while holding her fiancé’s favorite limited edition tequila in her hands.

Feeling hopeful, she eagerly awaited the sound of the car door unlocking but what followed were words of betrayal…

“Bryan, today’s your birthday. Aren’t you worried that Melanie will come and find you?”

“Hmph, your lawsuit is a pain in the ass. She’s in Paris and doesn’t even have time for me. How could she possibly come back here?”

“Well, do you mean that I should create more trouble next time?” the woman said coquettishly.

“You bad girl!” the man replied in a pampering tone.

“Since I’m a bad girl, do you love me or your hard-working wife more?” The woman wrapped her hands around him.

They made out intimately for a short while before the man said, “How could you compare yourself to her? She smells like garbage! She’s a cripple, too! If it wasn’t because of her family business and my parents admired her business mindset, I wouldn’t even look at her once!”

Stuck in the cramped trunk, Melanie could not help but cry. Their voices were all too familiar to her!

Melanie would be officially engaged with Bryan West in two days. She had never thought that her fiancé would have an affair with her cousin!

“Melanie was lucky! Back then, the car accident that we had planned was perfect, but she survived! Fortunately, I asked the doctor to prescribe the wrong medicine which caused her to become crippled. Otherwise, it’d be a waste of our efforts!” Lena Jones, Melanie’s cousin, spoke wickedly, accompanied by a hint of disappointment in her tone.

“Well, she’s a cripple now. Besides, her business mindset is still in play. Didn’t she make you famous, my dear?” Bryan could not help but comfort Lena.

Melanie trembled upon hearing their voices. She could not tell whether her trembling came from her broken heart or the car’s intense shaking.

After both of them were done and left the car, Melanie slowly crawled out of the trunk. She was in a daze, stumbling and accidentally hurting her wounded left leg, which stung with pain. However, the pain in her heart was far more agonizing.

Then, Melanie limped out of the parking lot aimlessly…

A devastating car accident had made her go from Harbor City’s number one celebrity to a cripple ugly duckling. When she was at her lowest, it was Bryan’s companionship that touched her heart.

Since then, Melanie committed herself to Bryan’s media firm and helped him build his reputation. The influencer whom the company strongly supported happened to be her cousin, Lena Jones!

This time, Lena had breached her agreement and was sued by a production crew. Therefore, Bryan requested Melanie to solve this issue.

Melanie racked her brain, negotiating with the production crew numerous times. She had managed just two hours of sleep over the past three days! She did this because she wanted to get it done faster and rush back home to celebrate Bryan’s birthday!

In the end, Bryan, who said that he loved her with all of his life, had given her a huge surprise! What a joke!

Throughout these years, the hard work that Melanie had poured in by giving everything she had was just to fulfill the wishes of the couple who ultimately betrayed her!

She kept walking, not realizing how far she had gone when it started to rain heavily. Melanie raised her head. It was as if the heavy rain was pouring into her heart. Amid the sound of the rain, she could also hear the shattering of her relationship.

She was exhausted so she sat in the middle of the road under a signboard. She looked at the tequila in her hand, opened the bottle, and chugged all of it.

Half an hour later…

A black Bentley drove by. The plain color could not disguise the elegance of the car. It had already driven past Melanie, but it moved back and stopped beside her.

Melanie was swiftly dragged into the car, lying in front of a man. Melanie’s face, which was drenched by the cold rain, was pinched with no care. While she was in a blurry state, she saw a familiar handsome man and started guessing.

“Who are you?”

“You don’t need to know who I am. I know who you are, Miss Jones.” The man’s cold voice was filled with a hint of hostility.

Melanie shook her head, trying her very best to remain conscious. However, the man’s proud, narrow gaze resembles a cold winter pond. The more she gazed into his eyes, the more they seemed to draw her in as if she was gradually falling for him.

She turned her body but was held onto by the man’s huge hands. “I should’ve come to find you earlier!”

“What?”

Her gaze fell onto the man’s chest, where she noticed two unbuttoned buttons, exposing his strong chest muscles. The intense male hormones heightened the effects of the tequila in her blood in an instant.

Melanie pondered for a moment. Since Bryan could have an affair, why not her? The man in front of her was a hundred times better than Bryan in terms of physique and appearance.

Melanie then straightened her body and wrapped her hand around the man’s neck. “Are you so eager to see me? Come then, let me satisfy your needs!”

The man frowned as he stared at the woman who was half kneeling in front of him. He observed her gorgeous silhouette, like a mesmerizing siren emerging from the sea at night, breathtaking.

“Are you sure?” His voice was hoarse.

Melanie nodded softly in agreement. She then placed her other hand on the man’s leg and slowly moved downward.

The man stiffened. He then carried her onto his lap. His voice was as cold as ice as he uttered, “Let me help you!”

Several hours later…

Melanie opened her eyes and realized that a man was sleeping soundly beside her. She stared at the man’s jawline and strong muscles, and fragments of memories from last night slowly strung together…

Melanie was drunk at the roadside and a man brought her into his car. After that, she slept with him.

The lights were still on. The man looked handsome from the side, and he seemed familiar. So, Melanie took a closer look at him, and she was stunned!

It was him!

However, the voices around her started to grow and she could not help but get distracted by them.“Melanie’s a cripple. Why did Bryan want to marry her?”“How can you not know about it?

He continued, “There was a man in here. Did you get yourself into some trouble?”“You don’t have to worry about me. I can handle it myself.” Melanie rejected him firmly.Jeffrey narrowed his eyes after hearing this. With her intelligence, she must have figured out that he was the man she slept with that night.

Don’t you want to restore your family’s reputation? I can fix your leg, too.”His condescending tone disgusted Melanie. However, his words hit her in the right spot.Melanie

He stood right behind her.At that moment, she stopped thinking completely.Without even hesitating, she ran toward him and dove into his arms."Ughh."Jeffrey groaned in pain. He did not dare to press against her stomach. Instead, he arched his back to hold her."Where the hell have you been? Do you have any idea how I…" She cried so much that she could not speak."Alright, alright. Good girl. Don't cry. I've come back."Jeffrey kept rubbing the back of her head. "Eagle was too neurotic.

    "We're not together…"Kenneth's facial expression changed as soon as he saw Melanie.Melanie noticed there was a hint of guilt in his eyes. This was an unsettling feeling for her. "Then where is he? What happened to you guys?"Noticing that she was shaking, Annie and Carson, who had accompanied her to court, rushed forward to assist her."Eagle had a prior arrangement with Nathan. Once Nathan and Leo's plan at the York family's residence was thwarted, Nathan would press a button. Eagle would then receive a code to detonate a bomb. He'd blow us all up," Kenneth explained."Jeffrey was the one who noticed Eagle wasn't in the right state of mind. That's why he informed me to leave with Mr. Oliver. He… Stayed behind to persuade Eagle…" He added."What happened then?" Melanie's voice was shaking."All I knew after that was that the hotel blew up. I waited for him to contact me but he never did.

However, they had no evidence of Nathan being involved in the explosion on the island this time.Hank looked at Melanie in the audience.

    Carson sighed. It was time to explain everything to Hank…Although Carson had spent a lot of time in Hank's hospital as Professor Marshall, and he would also tend to their men's wounds, as well as discuss a variety of topics with Hank, they had never acknowledged their relationship…Besides, Carson knew Hank hated him.Hank hated him for being heartless to his grandmother back then. That was why Hank changed his last name to Castillo instead of Yule…"Let's take Melanie back to rest. I'll explain the rest to you myself," Carson said. Hank had already figured out half of it."Grandpa, I'm not going back. I'll wait for the news here," Melanie said firmly.There was no sign of Jeffrey's corpse yet. She would wait until the rescue team confirmed that they could not find any corpse.She wanted a clear answer."Okay. I'll get the trailer ready for you. You can lie down inside.

"I'm fine… Grandpa, take me there… I want to go to the scene of the explosion…""You're in no state…""I'm fine. I can hold up," Melanie promised."If you don't let me go and see it with my own eyes, I'll be even more paranoid," she added.Carson knew his granddaughter too well.

    'Chief… Frankie?'Leo turned around in surprise. Nathan did the same. They saw Chief Frankie and several Interpol agents walking out from behind a screen in Joseph's room.Melanie was a part of that group!"Aren't you… dead?" Leo pointed at Melanie in shock."Thanks to you, I'll live a long life." Melanie sneered.Chief Frankie waved his hand. The police behind him charged forward to put handcuffs on Leo and Nathan. Leo narrowed his eyes and quickly pressed a button on the remote in his hand."We'll all die together!" He shouted.However, no matter how hard he pressed, nothing happened in the room."What's going on here… Eagle?" Leo's voice was trembling.His hands were cuffed, and the remote control was confiscated by the police."Leo, you are suspected of poisoning Master York and attempting to murder Melanie and others on the island. We are arresting you for premeditated murder!" Chief Frankie uttered calmly."No… No…" Leo struggled but to no avail. He had no idea what wa

    At the same time, Melanie and Carson were on a plane with Professor Turner. They soon arrived at Medonia.Carson contacted Hank ahead of time and asked him to pick them up with his men.After the exhausting journey, Melanie's face was pale. She seemed to be in very poor condition. "I've already contacted the maternity hospital for you. You can go there and wait for your delivery. Leave the rest to me.""No…"Melanie shook her head. "I have to go back."Jeffrey was still in Nathan's hands. She would not be able to wait peacefully if she went to the hospital.Carson knew his granddaughter well enough. "Let her go. Professor Turner and I will be with here. We'll be ready for anything."Carson was still disguised as Maximilian. Hank did not know he was Carson. Hank nodded in agreement.“Mr. Castillo, there's something I need to trouble you with.” Melanie said."I heard from Professor Marshall that you're on good terms with the chief of Medonia's Interpol. Can I trouble him to be a

    "Wait a minute! Isn't Jefford actually Jeffrey?" Leo asked while running after Nathan.Nathan ignored him and continued to walk forward.Leo did not give up and followed Nathan closely. "Who exactly is Jeffrey to you?""Are you being unreasonable right now? Why are you still so unsure at this point?" Nathan glanced at Leo contemptuously."I'm dealing with serious business. Don't get in my way with your petty romantic affairs!"After saying that, he glared at Leo and exited the cabin.Leo felt chills in his heart, but he could not make Nathan stay…-Jeffrey was tied up on the deck all this time. His body was freezing, and his lips were turning purple from the cold."Hey, President Morgan, fancy seeing you like this!" Nathan laughed grimly when he saw the miserable state Jeffrey was in."Thanks to you, I've been more miserable than this on many occasions. This is nothing." Jeffrey made it sound like a walk in the park."Hehe." Nathan sneered."I know. You've had strong willp

    Lynette seemed stunned. She could not help but stand up with the help of the railing on the speedboat. Her eyes turned red as looked at the island burning in the distance. There was a look of disbelief on her face…If they had not evacuated five minutes ago…By now…She would not have even been able to breathe and think…The explosion sent shockwaves across the ocean's surface. The ride became even more bumpy. With sea water splashing against them, they had all become wet."Are you alright?" Carson protected Melanie. He was worried she would not be able to take it.Her stomach did feel awful, but she braced herself and tried not to tense up. Her emotions would affect her baby.When Lynette heard the voices behind her, she turned around to look at Melanie. Her gaze had become much softer than before. "You're not going to give birth on the boat, are you? I'm a woman, but I don't know how to be a midwife!""I won't give birth now. There are still things left to do," Melanie said.
