I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 261 She is His Fate
Cyrus instantly understood Melanie's intention and followed her without saying a word. When they returned to the door of the emergency staircase, Melanie deliberately left it wide open. She quickly took off her high heels, threw them downstairs without hesitation, and then led Cyrus back to the corridor near the restroom. This area was filled with restaurants, and the staff was loudly maintaining order. "Ladies and gentlemen, please do not panic. This is a temporary power outage, and the backup generator will start in just a few minutes. Please be patient and remain seated. Do not move around to avoid accidents..." Melanie quickly surveyed the surroundings and then took Cyrus into the restaurant with the highest customer occupancy. "Are we hiding here?" Cyrus asked. "No." Melanie shook her head. "The layout of the restaurant is well-organized. Once those people rush in to search, even if there are many people, we won't have a place to hide." Saying this, she took advantag
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 262 Friend or Foe
Outside, chaos had ensued for about half an hour. Just then, Melanie and Cyrus heard someone shouting, "The power's back!" This was followed by the noisy aftermath settling into silence. They were contemplating when to seize the opportunity to leave when suddenly, commotion erupted again. Someone shouted sternly, "Don't move!" This was followed by screams of the customers. Melanie and Cyrus both realized that the situation was getting worse. They exchanged glances, nodded at each other, and held their breath. Soon, those people found their way to the kitchen. "Did you see a woman and an old man?" a man with a hoarse voice asked. "No." Responses from the kitchen staff were intermittent. "You didn’t even check before answering me!" The man was furious. A bang followed, shattering something and startling everyone! "I really didn't see anything. It was so dark everywhere. I didn’t see any outsiders at all." Someone from the kitchen responded, but before he could finish hi
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 263 The Gibsons
"Master, should I take you home?" Melanie asked Cyrus. Cyrus hesitated for a moment, looked at Melanie’s clear eyes, and nodded. "Okay." Turning to Nathan, Melanie said, "Nathan, given what just happened, I'll take my master back to the Gibson family’s place. We need some time to calm down." "Sure, we'll stay in touch," Nathan replied understandingly and made way for them. Melanie supported Cyrus out. Cyrus’ assistant, who was outside, was anxious. Seeing them come out, he hurriedly said, "Elder Gibson, Melanie, are you both okay?" "If you had come a bit earlier, it might have made a difference!" Cyrus scolded, displeased. The assistant felt embarrassed and awkwardly scratched his head. At that moment, Melanie noticed a tall man in the crowd—the man who claimed he would protect her, but he arrived later than Nathan... - Seeing him signaling her to check her phone, she took it out. The signal was restored now. She found out that her bodyguard had messaged her twenty mi
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 264 Issuing a Challenge
Melanie slept well at the Gibson residence. The servants there were also very considerate, and everything in the room, from food to clothing, was prepared for her. The next afternoon, Cyrus took Melanie to attend the Angle family’s centennial celebration. In the car, Cyrus asked, "I heard that your grandfather was a skilled traditional medicine practitioner?" "You even found out about that?" Melanie expressed surprise. "Yes, my grandfather was a renowned local traditional medicine doctor. His house had a large courtyard filled with various medicinal herbs. I used to play there as a child and even sun-dried herbs with my grandfather." "Hmm..." Cyrus nodded thoughtfully. "With your grandfather around, even if someone in your family has health issues, it's like having a precious treasure in the family." Melanie didn't fully understand, and Cyrus didn't intend to explain. "During the celebration today, stick with me the whole time. Don't wander around, understand?" "Are you afr
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 265 The Final Medicinal Herb
Cyrus held considerable influence in the business world of Medonia. Moreover, he had cleverly transformed Charles’ so-called challenge into a competition between Medonia and Ustal, making it irrelevant whether the participants were from the York family or not. Everyone agreed with Cyrus, so Charles had no choice but to go along. Melanie was in a similar predicament and could only reluctantly participate. To ensure fairness, Melanie's twenty herbs were still selected by the five people who had chosen the medicinal herbs earlier. Cyrus stood at the end, placing the herbs into the last four boxes and closing the lid. "Inspection complete. Miss Jones, please begin your identification!" declared one of the judges. Melanie went to stand in front of the first box, took a deep breath, and focused her mind. Fortunately, she hadn't forgotten the knowledge she had accumulated from her time at her grandfather's house. She lowered her head to sniff and wrinkled her brow, saying, "Foul-s

The other two contestants signaled that they were ready, upon which the sound signifying the countdown started.Melanie finished identifying the scents first.And then, in less than a minute, Medonia’s prodigy also finished his turn.The judge walked over to the card that they’d written their answers down on and confirmed the results, then announced, “The male candidate has misidentified three scents, while the female candidate has misidentified two scents. The final result: Ms. Melanie comes out on top!”“Congratulations, Elder Gibson! You managed to recruit a good disciple!” The judge couldn’t help but praise him.Cyrus also walked up the stage at the time and stood next to Melanie with a smile. “My disciple’s sense of smell is mainly focused on medicine, but she still doesn’t know much about fragrances. Thank you for your praise, ever
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 267 The Answer in One’s Heart
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”When William saw how gloomy his boss’s face was, he couldn’t help but yell at his subordinate.The bodyguard didn’t dare to say another word. William turned around and looked at Jeffrey, “Boss, this is my mistake. I was thinking that it’ll be more convenient if I find someone with an unfamiliar face. He had just joined Morgan Group and didn’t know about the madam’s identity...”Jeffrey was unmoved as his mind continued to race.He had just personally seen the last contest and saw that the woman seemed to feel that something was wrong. With her abilities, it would be very easy for her to identify 20 fragrances. How could she get two wrong?That also wasn’t mentioning how his grandmother had asked him to come protect her. Was there something wrong with her being in the Yorks’ territory? He then remembered how Eliza and his grandmother were having coffee together. Was this something that Eliza had asked her to help with?Jeffrey had a thousand qu
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 268 Swap
Jeffrey quietly closed the door and sat in the lounge next door.After a while, William came back and reported, “You’re right, boss. After the servant left the lounge, she immediately went to report back to Joseph York. And then, the butler dispatched his subordinate to the paternity lab to conduct a paternity test...”“However, they didn’t exchange hands throughout the entire process. I couldn’t swap out whatever that the servant took from the madam in the lounge. However, I’ve made arrangements at the paternity lab so that we can swap it at the end.”Jeffrey nodded in agreement. “As long as the result that the Yorks receive is not what they want. As for how you achieve that... It’s up to you.”“Understood.”William received his order before asking, “Why don’t you go in, boss?”“Let her get some rest.”Jeffrey said with his lips formed a faint smile.“Sir, the Yorks have heard that you’re here and would like to invite you to sit with them...” William asked Jeffrey for his opi
