With her silver tongue, Melanie quickly acquainted the two proud ladies with each other, even pulling them into a group chat. Annie humorously named the group "Avengers Alliance".With their plan set, Gemma returned home and quietly waited.Following Melanie's strategy, she leaked the news of her previous encounter with Melanie to Grace, intending to make Grace reach out first. Gemma knew she couldn't make the first move. Otherwise, she'd risk making Grace suspicious.However, Gemma only waited a day. A servant hurriedly informed her the next noon, "Miss! Miss Grace is here!"As expected, Melanie's prediction was right.Considering Grace's temperament, she wouldn't make Gemma wait longer than a day. Gemma couldn't help but admire Melanie's foresight."Let her in," Gemma instructed, then she turned to the servant. "Have you memorized the lines I gave you earlier?""Of course, Miss," the servant replied respectfully.Gemma nodded in satisfaction. She had prepared some items o
Gemma looked up. She followed Grace's gaze, her brows furrowing instantly."It's her...""Why would she come to a White Group hotel this late?" The glint in Grace's eyes became sharper.Grace had initially planned to deal with Melanie at the Azure City. It was remote and deserted enough, and she had used her most trusted individuals. Even if the Jones family investigated afterward, they would hardly find any evidence linking back to her. She had thought her plan was foolproof. But against all odds, she heard Melanie had returned unscathed after being rescued by an unknown person!This news left Grace seething.But now, with the recent news of Jacob's alleged affair, Grace felt as if a gateway to a new world had opened up before her. This was undoubtedly another opportunity to bring Melanie down! Even if she couldn't end Melanie's life, she could ruin her reputation. She could ensure Melanie would never show her face in public again!Almost instinctively, Grace followed Mela
After setting everything up, Melanie retreated to a corner near the stairwell and waited.Three minutes later, Mrs. White appeared outside the presidential suite with a dozen burly men. Without hesitation, she ordered them to push open the suite's door forcefully.She roared, "Let's see who the shameless vixen is!"Grace was still inside and searching for Melanie, and she barely had time to react. Suddenly, a bottle filled with an unknown liquid was hurled at her face, drenching her from head to toe. Shocked and panicking, she screamed for help!Hearing the commotion from the bathroom, Jacob hurriedly wrapped a towel around himself and stepped out, only to see Mrs. White. He instinctively asked, "Why are you here?!""What do you think? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed you'd keep such a vixen under my nose!" Mrs. White snapped.With a single gesture, her bodyguards rushed forward. One delivered a swift kick to Grace's knee, forcing her to kneel be
Upon hearing the media gathering at the entrance, Mrs. White restrained herself slightly.Seizing the opportunity, Grace broke free from the bodyguards. She disregarded her disheveled state and dashed away.Mrs. White was furious. She screamed, "Shameless wench! Try and seduce my man again! I'll make sure you regret it!"Melanie was wearing a duckbill cap and stood at the back of the crowd. She watched as Grace stumble and flee. Grace even tripped over a chair near the exit, looking utterly embarrassed."Hurry, disperse the media!" Jacob ordered his subordinates.Still catching her breath, Mrs. White addressed the media, "Why are you still filming us? That shameless woman has fled! Go after her!"Naturally, there were cameras focused on Grace. Numerous reporters trailed behind her. There were even more than those present during her fashion events. Grace hadn't anticipated that the media would appear so quickly when she asked Gemma to call them!The situation seemed increasingl
The one Eliza had invited was actually William?!This revelation left the three young individuals present utterly stunned.To ensure his safety, William promptly stepped forward. He greeted Eliza politely and said, "Madam Jones, this is Mr. Morgan.""Oh!" Eliza hurriedly stood up in respect.No wonder the moment they entered, she noticed the imposing and decisive aura around the man standing in front of William. He was, after all, the President of Morgan Group.However, since Jeffrey had only recently returned to the country, Eliza hadn't formally met him in such settings before."Mr. Morgan, would you like to join us?" Eliza courteously extended the invitation.With a stern face, Jeffrey accepted.The four found themselves seated at a square table in a tense atmosphere.Eliza kept firing questions, but they were all directed at William. She inquired about his origins, how he adjusted to living in Harbor City since he wasn't a local, his family back home, and when he had met
Melanie immediately began preparations to welcome the Lifetime Honorary Chairman upon her discharge from the hospital.The association handed her a detailed list that spanned two full A4 pages.The honorary chairman desired a room with a south-facing balcony, an authentic traditional breakfast, a black business car for transportation, a male driver aged between forty and fifty, and so on. The requirements were incredibly specific.For over a week, Melanie transformed into an administrative powerhouse. She conducted three rounds of interviews just to find qualified drivers.Finally, her persistence and effort paid off. Melanie had everything settled by the evening before the honorary chairman arrived in Harbor City. She arranged transportation and coordinated with the company's administrative team to greet the man at the airport the next morning.That night, Melanie received a call from Annie, who immediately inquired, "Darling, about the news of Grace sneaking into Chairman Wh
"Mr. Gibson is still waiting for his luggage. He sent us ahead to meet with you," one of Cyrus' assistants explained.Melanie and the administrative manager exchanged glances. Sensing their curiosity, the assistant added, "Mr. Gibson's luggage contains precious spices and fragrances, items that no one should handle casually."So, that was what happened.Cyrus seemed eccentric, prioritizing his fragrances above all else.Suddenly, a swarm of journalists appeared seemingly out of nowhere, encircling the group and bombarding the young assistants with questions. "Are you Mr. Gibson's assistants?" "Where is Mr. Gibson? Did he not arrive yet?"The two young assistants looked bewildered. One of them glanced warily at Melanie, "Miss Melanie, did you arrange for the media interviews as well?"Melanie's eyes narrowed. She knew it!John wouldn't remain passive for long.Realizing that the Morgan Group's celebrity wouldn't arrive anytime soon, Melanie tried to clarify, "I genuinely
"Melanie Jones, the heiress of Jones Enterprise..." the association representative responded somewhat hesitantly.Cyrus' tight frown relaxed slightly as his eyebrows raised in realization. So, it was her...!"Have her come explain herself to me," Cyrus demanded.The association representative was taken aback by the request. However, not daring to question Cyrus' intentions, he immediately had someone fetch Melanie. As soon as Melanie entered, Cyrus spun his chair around, turning his back to the entrance.Melanie smiled and said, "Mr. Gibson, my intention in receiving you was genuine. But as for why so many reporters suddenly appeared, I might need some time to ascertain the truth and explain."Melanie continued firmly, "But I can guarantee I didn't secretly contact the media. The entire industry knows you dislike interviews. I wouldn't have orchestrated such a scenario if I had even an ounce of sense. That would be setting a trap for myself, right?""Hah..." Cyrus coldly chuc
