I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 122 Wanting to Touch Her Means Death
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

Melanie carefully observed Grace's expression. She had a plan in mind.The last time they met in Azure City, Grace's face had been left swollen due to mosquito bites. Given Grace's temperament, Melanie believed she wouldn't let this go easily. However, Grace didn't dare to bring it up upon their reunion, indicating her guilty conscience!This further confirmed Melanie's suspicion Grace had indeed orchestrated her fall into the water. Melanie found satisfaction in knowing that Grace's family was currently embroiled in conflict with the White family."These traditional dresses are luxurious and cost at least six figures each at minimum. You're just window shopping, aren't you?" Grace said, mocking Melanie to release some of her pent-up frustration.Although the Jones family was prominent, Jones Enterprise had faced setbacks since Tyler's death. Grace wagered that Melanie couldn't afford even a few dresses in this shop."Shouldn't I be asking you the same?" Melanie responded ca

The old man's expression softened considerably as he looked at Melanie. "I arrived not too long ago. I'm just out for a stroll," he replied.Remembering the many traditional dresses in the old man's wardrobe, Melanie figured he likely had someone close who adored them. She approached him and whispered, "Sir, if you're looking for traditional dresses, I can take you to a shop run by an old tailor. The ones here are all flashy. I'm only here because they're good for appearances."The old man chuckled at her remark, his wrinkles creasing in amusement as he nodded. "Okay, then. Please wait a moment. I'll try on some clothes," she said before turning to instruct the store clerk who was with her, "This gentleman is with me. Please take good care of him.""Of course," the store clerk replied.After Melanie had defused the situation, the store clerks were visibly relieved. They now had a newfound respect for her as they helped lead the old man to a waiting area.Grace sneered with d

Melanie's eyes widened with suspicion.But she understood that even if some of the store clerks wanted to stand up for her, they wouldn't jeopardize their job performance. So, was it true that someone had bought all the dresses in her name?Such an expenditure was astronomical...!She instructed the clerk to wrap up the ginger-yellow dress for her to take away. Seizing the moment, she discreetly questioned the store manager about the situation. The store manager explained that an anonymous customer had purchased all the dresses on her behalf but didn’t reveal their identity.Once the packaging was complete, several clerks and the store manager bowed respectfully as they escorted Melanie and the old man to the exit.Although she hadn't figured out who had been so generous, she couldn't disappoint the anonymous benefactor in front of Grace. So, with a proud and haughty demeanor, she declared, "Register this purchase to her performance." As Melanie said this, she pointed at t

Melanie was stunned by the sheer number of dresses. Busy directing the servants to organize them in batches within her dressing room, she completely missed the stormy expression on Jeffrey's face.Half an hour later, the dressing room was mostly organized. Melanie instructed the servants to take a break and continue the next day. As they left, she stood with her hands on her hips and gazed at the multitude of dresses and evening gowns with a sense of resignation.The old man had left her his contact before departing, suggesting he'd get in touch soon. But how many fragrances would she need to craft for him to repay such a generous favor...?Lost in thought, she was suddenly startled when she looked up."Ah!"Had she not been walking slowly, she might have collided with Jeffrey, who stood like an immovable boulder against the closet doors. His deep black eyes were fixed intently on her."Why are you here?" Melanie exclaimed."Can't I be here?" He retorted.She shrugged. Gi

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
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 1082 I Have Evidence
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
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 1076 What's So Good About Men?
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.
