Both Melanie and Jeffrey looked over together.

They saw a man with many bags with him, including a very large fruit basket... It was Grant, here to visit Melanie.

Jeffrey’s expression instantly turned cold as he looked at Grant, who came uninvited.

Grant greeted him before putting his whole focus on Melanie and said, “I heard from my sister that you’re hurt, so I went to visit you at the hospital, but you weren’t there... It’s so hard to visit you sometimes.”

“It’s alright. Why don’t you put the things down first?”

Melanie looked at Grant, who was completely blocked by the fruit basket and had no choice but to give way.

When Grant went in, Jeffrey did as well. He wasn’t going to leave when a thief was right there!

Melanie hadn’t even spoken to them before receiving a call from the company. She apologized before going to the next room to deal with the call. Grant was a little awkward and couldn’t help asking Jeffrey, who was sitting on the sofa as if he owned the place...

    Melanie had already asked Annie about this a few days ago, but Annie refused to tell her. And she even avoided her for the next few days. She didn’t expect Melanie to ask about it again when she came here.“I didn’t get anything out of it... I just felt that he really was treating you sincerely. That’s why I gave him some ideas,” Annie said with her head lowered.“What kind of ideas?”“Strong women are scared of persistent men.”Annie’s head got even lower.Melanie sighed.

    Recalling Mr. Smith’s friendly reminder when she last shot the cover of Waukeen’s Agora, Melanie asked without a hint of surprise, “Why does he want this room?”“He sent an assistant saying that the last time he was at this hotel, he stayed in this room. So, he also wants this room this time.” Elder Gibson’s assistant frowned impatiently.Melanie raised her eyebrow and said without even thinking, “Switch the rooms then.”He was a prodigy, right? So of course, he had plenty of quirks. Not to mention that she remembered Mr. Smith’s reminder not to provoke this prodigy.“You’re really going to switch, Melanie?”This assistant was very close with Melanie, so he had to think on her behalf. “The room that the prodigy wants to switch with you is on the top-most floor and is quite out of the way. I heard that the organizer was trying to fulfill his request for a quiet place.”The assistant sighed and said, “Now it is not a question of whether to change or not to, but our dignity! Since y

    Without hesitation, he slipped into the room after he spoke and closed the door with a bang, locking everyone outside.Melanie blinked.She had not argued with someone like that for so long. She had just wanted to say that she didn’t want to switch rooms anymore. Gabriel was worried that he was wasting time, right? Then he might as well continue to waste his. However, she didn’t expect him to suddenly close the door and not give her a chance to do it at all.Elder Gibson’s assistant came over and asked Melanie, “What should we do?”“What can we do?”When a dog bit you, you couldn’t bite the dog back, could you?Melanie took her luggage and said, “Take me to my new room.”The room door had been locked tight by Gabriel, and there was nothing they could do, so he took Melanie to the room on the top floor that she had exchanged with Gabriel.That night, Gemma gave her a call and Melanie told her what happened.

    The source of the fire was the bedroom where the smoke was the densest. Everyone behind her was scared. Soon, Melanie saw Gabriel lying on the floor next to his bed.She ran over and yelled, “Quick! Save him!”With that, she began to drag Gabriel out of the room. The few men behind her saw what she was doing and ran in to help her drag him out.Very quickly, someone began bringing in water to douse the flames while another helped others. Gabriel was lying on the floor of the corridor, his assistant crying out his name nervously.Melanie coughed and said, “Move away!”“He needs fresh air!”Everyone was shocked and instantly opened up some space. Melanie said, “Open the windows and doors to the side. Let the fresh air flow! Call the ambulance!”Everyone realized what they needed to do and did as she commanded.Three minutes later, Gabriel slowly opened his eyes.He saw Melanie sitting next to him. He blinked. “Why are you here?”“Stop being choosy. If it wasn’t for me, you’d al

    Gabriel didn’t gain any ground as he argued with Melanie. With a look, his assistant moved him away. When he rolled past Melanie, he mumbled, “What bad luck it is to encounter you! Even a hotel can burst into flames!”The light in Melanie’s eyes dimmed as she mumbled, “If it’s just pure bad luck, then I’m the one that’s really unlucky.”-The next day at the International Fragrance Gathering, Gabriel appeared before everyone. He was cold and arrogant as usual, showing not a sliver of his weakness compared to when he was at the hospital yesterday.The world’s master perfumers were all gathered here together, and Elder Gibson introduced Melanie to each of them.They all had two Shining Star tokens. Once they presented their fragrances, they could vote for the fragrance they loved the most.The five fragrances with the most votes would be presented at the end to all the spectators and viewers in front of the screens, sharing the great banquet with everyone.After communicating with

    So, the fire that was started last night was because someone was targeting Melanie, to make her embarrass herself in the International Fragrance Gathering. It was not simply an accident. Gabriel narrowed his eyes and snorted. That meant that she was the one who was supposed to say thanks!If it wasn’t because he insisted on switching rooms, she would be the one to almost die inside!“What do you think, Miss Melanie?”“Come on. Show it to us. Choose any fragrance and broaden our horizons.” The reporters attacked Melanie in unison.Melanie was in a difficult position.Just then, Gabriel walked to her, put his fragrance on her table, and said in disdain, “Then I suppose you can analyze my fragrance! If you can explain all the elements used inside, on behalf of everyone here, I’ll acknowledge that you’re worthy of today’s recognition!”The light in Melanie’s eyes shone brighter.Looking at how Gabriel was making it difficult for Melanie with a frown, all the reporters that led the

    If that were really the case, then the reputation he had built up over the decade would go down the drain in an instant!Gabriel started to panic. Unfortunately, he had no way out as he had lost his sense of smell.Melanie’s brows arched, but she wasn’t in a rush to reply. The foreign perfumer said, “But… Even after thinking very hard, I still can’t figure out what scent it is. Ms. Jones, would you please grant me the answer?”His words calmed Gabriel down.All the cameras and perfumers turned their attention to Melanie, waiting expectantly for the answer regarding her surprising fragrance.Melanie said, “The scent everyone’s so curious about isn’t the traditional kind many are familiar with. I just collected the scent of my friend.”“Is it your boyfriend?” one reported asked excitedly after a few moments of silence. Everyone could sense gossip in the air.The perfumers on stage began to tease her. “No wonder the fragrance you made is so pure and moving, Ms. Jones! You made

    “What’s the matter?”Mr. Smith was shocked at Melanie’s reaction, but his finger subconsciously pressed a button to scroll back to the previous photo. Melanie stared unblinkingly at it.“I took a photo of a bridge opposite the hotel while standing at the window. Is there a problem?” Mr. Smith subconsciously explained.“Zoom in,” Melanie demanded.Her sudden tension affected Mr. Smith, and he did as he was told.“Zoom in further.”Mr. Smith zoomed in on the photo as much as he could. Melanie swiped the photo and found two people standing in the bottom right corner of the bridge.One of them looked tall and muscular, with a t-shirt with a flattop haircut. A green scorpion tattoo gleamed on his arm.The man standing opposite him wasn’t tall. He had a lean figure, and was handing a paper bag to the tattooed man…“So it is him,” Melanie said.Mr. Smith looked confused. “What are you talking about? These two people look just like insignificant ants in my photo. Why are you so int

    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.
