Chapter 1007 Femme Fatales

Author: Bright Eyes
"Based on what you just said and my understanding of Tempest, the person Joseph fears the most is Carson, whom you said is your grandfather. Years ago, when Carson suddenly disappeared, it was rumored that he had died. However, in reality, he was living in seclusion in Harbor City, raising your father. But why did he hide his identity again later? Was he avoiding his enemies, or was there another reason? You mentioned that Maximilian said Carson hasn’t shown up because the time isn’t right. What exactly is he waiting for?"

Jeffrey had a lot of questions.

"Joseph and my grandfather had a falling out back then. My grandfather is likely hiding from Joseph. The York family is holding Eagle, who is Tempest's trump card. Since Eagle is in Joseph's hands, my grandfather has to be cautious." Melanie analyzed.

"I've been investigating Tempest for over a year, but from what I've found, it doesn't seem that there is any business conflict between Joseph and Carson. Was it because of women?”

    Yancey Group, Medonia Branch, Top Floor Conference Room.At the head of the table sat Mrs. Yancey, with seats on either side reserved for Linda and Jefford. Jefford appeared confident, but Linda's seat remained empty.New and old shareholders were gradually arriving.Melanie also attended with Richard. When she entered, she greeted Mrs. Yancey with a nod. Mrs. Yancey smiled back at her. "I haven’t seen you in a while; I missed you so much. I didn't expect to see you again as the heir of the York family.""Not quite yet," Melanie smiled.“You are being humble, Miss Melanie. During the York family celebration last week, Joseph personally introduced you to us. He even sent his butler to accompany you to the board meeting. There’s no way you’re not the heir." Someone flattered Melanie.“That’s right. We’re waiting for Joseph to hold a press conference and officially announce it to the public,” another chimed in. In less than two weeks, two powerhouses of international trade e

    In the conference room of Yancey Group, Linda’s loyal shareholders frowned in displeasure."Master Jefford, what is the meaning of this?""Did you ask Quentin to stop Miss Yancey from coming here? Did you also install surveillance for us to watch? You’re despicable!"Seeing the shareholders supporting Linda grow agitated, Jeffrey smirked. “Come on, continue watching, and you'll see that what I’ve done is insignificant compared to Linda's actions."“The topic of their fight is none of our business! We’re not gossip reporters!” An old shareholder protested."Silence!" Mrs. Yancey slammed the table. Everyone kept quiet immediately. Mrs. Yancey stared intently at the screen, her eyes glistening with hatred. Everyone knew that Cambree's death was a sore spot for Mrs. Yancey and her husband.Now that Quentin had brought it up again, something must be behind it. Mrs. Yancey wanted to know the truth.-"Quentin, you broke my heart! Haven't you tormented me enough over the yea

    “Madam…”Everyone panicked.The old shareholders exchanged worried glances, not expecting things to escalate to this point. The situation was spiraling out of control.Melanie was focused on the big screen. Upon hearing that Linda had poisoned Jeffrey’s mother, she was filled with hatred for Linda and sympathy for Jeffrey.Lost in her own emotions, she didn't notice that Jefford sitting next to Mrs. Yancey seemed even more agitated. Though he could barely remember his mother's face, the pain of losing her made Jeffrey feel like doing the same to Linda. “Call the police!” Mrs. Yancey ordered her assistant.The assistant nodded and immediately called the police.The shareholders supporting Linda were anxious and pleaded, “Madam, think about it… What happened back then has long passed. Do we need to involve the police?” “She has admitted to her crimes. Why wouldn’t I report her to the police? Are you suggesting that I let Cam suffer injustice even after she’s gone?” Mrs. Yance

    "For a long time now." Jeffrey was honest with Mrs. Yancey. "I encountered Melanie when she was giving birth. Seeing her on the brink of death, fragments of my memory came together, and I remembered everything.""That was indeed a long time ago." Mrs. Yancey sighed."Grandma, I didn’t intend to keep it from you, but the situation was very unfavorable for both me and the Morgan Group. Hiding my identity was the best option for everyone," Jeffrey explained."The Yancey Group has relentlessly pressured the Morgan Group to the brink of collapse. Now that you remember your identity, how do you plan to deal with the Yancey Group and me?" Mrs. Yancey asked tentatively."Linda's actions against the Morgan Group were hers alone. I won't make things difficult for the Yancey Group," Jeffrey answered."I didn’t stop her, and you should be smart enough to know that I disliked the Morgan Group too," Mrs. Yancey said.Her frankness made Jeffrey relax. He smiled faintly and said, "Is it because

    Melanie returned to the York family estate, where a servant hurriedly reported to her and Richard, "Master York is awake and in good spirits. He wants to see you both as soon as you return."Melanie and Richard exchanged glances and quickly made their way to Joseph's room. Joseph was propped up in bed, looking much better than before."How… did it go?" His speech was still slurred."All went well." Melanie smiled as she sat down. "Jefford has completely overthrown Linda. I also publicly expressed our support. With Jefford in power, he will remember the York family’s kindness."Joseph nodded in satisfaction. "Well… done.""Indeed, Master York. You don’t have to worry about anything. Melanie handled everything with great tact. I didn't even need to point out anything,” Richard chimed in.Melanie smiled modestly. "Thank you. You've been a great support.""Hahaha!" Joseph laughed heartily and gestured between Richard and Melanie.Richard quickly understood his meaning and turned

    Upon hearing the news, Melanie closed the file in her hands and urgently asked, "Where is he?""He's in Medonia. Nathan has been hiding him. The watch on him loosened after Nathan fled, allowing us to find him. He's being taken to the hospital now.""Is he... badly injured?" Melanie asked with concern."Yeah,” Jeffrey said solemnly."I want to see him.”"Is it safe for you to travel? Should I come to pick you up?" Jeffrey was worried about her safety."You are looking down on the York family already, huh?" Melanie joked.Jeffrey chuckled. "I'll send you his location. We’ll talk when we meet there.” “Alright.” Melanie put away the files on her desk and glanced at the clock. It was nearly 11 PM. No wonder she felt so tired. It seemed she would be pulling an all-nighter again with the little one in her belly.-After calling Melanie, Jeffrey couldn't sit still. He paced back and forth, rubbing his hands anxiously.He had decided that the next time they met, he would revea

    The doctor told Melanie and Jeffrey that Mr. Smith had multiple injuries all over his body, and there was also a blood clot in his brain; he would not be able to wake up anytime soon.Melanie immediately sent Mr. Smith's medical records to Professor Turner and video-called him to discuss Mr. Smith's treatment plan.Finally, Professor Turner concluded that it was not an issue for Mr. Smith to regain consciousness. As long as the treatment was continuous, he should wake up in a few months. Melanie was relieved to hear that. It was past midnight by the time she finished talking to Professor Turner.She yawned and told Jeffrey, “Please have people guard Mr. Smith. I'll also send some people so that they can rotate shifts.""It’s fine. I have enough men." Jeffrey didn't want her to exhaust herself."I insist," Melanie insisted.To Jefford, Mr. Smith was just a passerby in his life, but to Melanie, he was a friend. He was someone who saved her life. She felt more at ease having her

    However, Jeffrey was confused. Melanie’s belly shouldn’t look this way if she didn’t lose the baby. Her belly looked the same as it did two months ago. Jeffrey wondered if the baby didn’t grow. He sighed inwardly.Frowning, he gently brushed against her belly and reluctantly adjusted her clothes before covering her with his coat.-Melanie slept the entire way.When she woke up, she realized the car was parked outside the York family estate. She instinctively checked the time and was surprised to know that she had slept for a long time. What surprised her even more was that Jefford was still by her side. "Why haven't you left?""I... have something to tell you.""It's late, and I'm tired. Can we talk another day?" Melanie stretched, still feeling that she hadn't slept enough.Noticing her tired eyes, Jeffrey couldn't bear to push her and relented, "Alright, get some rest. We'll talk another day."“Mhm.” Melanie shook off the grogginess and got out of the car. But

    Pleasantly surprised, Melanie turned around to see the man she had been looking for. She never stopped saying his name in her head. 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. I've nearly gone mad from dealing with him. I finally got him to regain some of his sanity today… That's how I had the chance to find you…""How did you know where to find me?" Melanie asked."Today is the day of Nathan's trial. I know you'd definitely be in the courtroom," Jeffrey said confidently.Melanie finally calmed down a little. After letting go of him,

    "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. Mr. Oliver and I have been on the run from Nathan's shadowy pursuits. I only managed to sn

    Three days later, the trial was officially in session.Leo's attorney was practically defenseless because the York family's allegations of him poisoning Joseph had been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Leo was directly sentenced to life in prison.Nathan's attorney, on the other hand, was clever. They tried everything they could to deflect Nathan's allegations.After the presiding judge evaluated the case, he looked up. "Does the plaintiff have any more evidence that the defendant, Nathan, intentionally killed someone?"Hank sat silently at the plaintiff's table.They could only provide evidence of the time when Nathan had tried to murder Hank. However, they had no evidence of Nathan being involved in the explosion on the island this time.Hank looked at Melanie in the audience. She was also frowningThe presiding judge's implication was well understood. Without more evidence, Nathan would not receive a life sentence…"The plaintiff simply does not have sufficient evidence to

    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. You can't afford to hurt your body anymore than you already have. I checked your pulse earlier. It's not loo

    Buzz!Melanie's vision turned black. She began falling backward."Melanie! Melanie!"Carson propped her up and called the doctor over.However, Melanie opened her eyes after a few seconds and tried to stand up. "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. He sighed and frowned before requesting for a ride. He met up with Hank. The two of them accompanied Melanie to look for Jeffrey.Jeffrey, Kenneth, Mr. Oliver, and Eagle waited at the drop-off point near the York family's residence. Nathan had instructed them to not do anything rash.Mr. Oliver and Eagle were still useful to Nathan.Once Nathan acquired Joseph's signature, he would meet up with them.However, the small hotel they were waiting at was already in ruins. There was smoke everywher

    '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.
