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

“Mm...”When Melanie got a kiss instead of the answer she expected, she was stunned for a second before pushing the man away. Jeffrey slowed for a little, locking his eyes with hers. He then said with an urgent tone, “I’m sorry.”Melanie had just wanted to say that she wasn’t having any of his nonsense, but the love in Jeffrey’s eyes coupled with his apologies devoured her, and she simply let him kiss her as they slowly moved toward the sofa.“This is just a lounge...” She tried to tell him her worries when she had a moment to catch her breath.“William’s guarding the outside,” he explained to her.They had finally moved over to the sofa when William’s voice came from the outside. “Boss, the Yorks have delivered the banquet invitation to you for tonight, and I need a response. Will you be attending tonight?”Jeffrey paused, his hand still behind Melanie’s head. He asked, almost growling, “Are you going?”“I am.”“Then I’ll be going!”Jeffrey yelled at the door as he raised his

Melanie quickly hid her worries and calmed Cyrus down. “Don’t worry. This time, it’s a genuine blackout.”And about a minute later, the hall’s lights were back on.The person managing the banquet hall awkwardly explained, “I’m so sorry, everyone. That blackout was a surprise, but our backup generator has been activated. There won’t be any more problems after this. Please, continue.”“Let’s continue, then.”On stage, Joseph York was the most highly regarded of them all. When he suggested they all continue with the signing ceremony, all of them exchanged a glance and realized that something was wrong.“Charles!”“Master?”“What’s going on?!”Melanie, Joseph and the other two patriarchs all screamed out.Melanie was holding Cyrus tightly in her hand, only to see him collapse in the chair as his entire body went numb, his mouth twitching...“Doctor! Somebody, get a doctor over here now!”Melanie screamed as she held Cyrus’s body. At this time, Cyrus’s assistant also ran up to th
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 271 Two Murderers
On stage, Cyrus was still lying on the stretcher that was temporarily moved here. He could already feel his muscles while Melanie and his personal assistant were guarding him.Melanie could feel the chill down her spine. She knew that it was legal to have a taser gun here, but she didn’t expect that she would be a witness to an assassination, especially when the murderer was so close to her and Elder Gibson!She raised her eyes and looked at everyone that was on stage.Joseph was sitting in his wheelchair, remaining still throughout the entire ordeal.Charles was already dead, and his corpse had been moved off stage by his servants.The other two families left were the Murrays and the Romero. The former had a steelwork-focused business while the latter started their family fortune through medicine. The patriarchs of both the families were confused, started by Charles’s butler.“We’ve already called the police! If we can’t find the murderer that killed my master, none of you can l
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 272 Found the Taser
“Are you implying that Luis Romero and I are the culprit?!”At this time, the patriarch of the Murray family, Kiefer Murray, stepped forward. He looked at Melanie with angry eyes.“I never said that.”Melanie predicted that this would happen, so she responded to him calmly. “We’ll only know the truth once the police and the coroner get a closer look. There are also a lot of things that are involved here, such as the margin of error for the electrocution’s duration and the source of the taser gun. I’m simply analyzing one of the possibilities.”“You’re obviously trying to get the Yorks and the Gibsons out of this while dragging us in instead!”Kiefer said angrily and refused to let Melanie escape. “Otherwise, why didn’t anyone else here say what you said? You’re the only one that’s meddling in this affair! You’re Elder Gibson’s disciple, and you even won two contests for the Yorks today! You must have your own intentions! Maybe you’re the real culprit!”“The only reason I stepped

Not long after, the police officers dispatched by the nearby station had reached the area and began their investigation. A coroner was with them.Under the police officers’ orders, all the guests that wanted to leave could leave without any issues as long as they were willing to queue up for a pat down and investigation.Due to the uniqueness of the case and the fact that the victim was a local wealthy man, not to mention that the witnesses and suspects were all local leaders, the police station had dispatched a large number of officers to investigate the case on the island, and all suspects couldn’t leave the island temporarily.About half an hour later, the coroner had completed his task, and he held the same opinion as the doctor on the island. The officer also found the taser gun buried in a flowerpot.“Calm down, everyone.”“We’ve already found the taser gun that was used for the crime. After investigation, the gun had only been fired twice when the crime took place. The micr

One hour ago.Jeffrey personally went to the testing lab after Melanie left the lounge.He was getting worried about his subordinate’s work. The Yorks could be quite brutal. If they did something wrong and they couldn’t control the result of the paternal test, then Melanie would be in the Yorks’ line of sight!The York family was a swamp, and lying within that swamp were the bones and flesh of those who were part of the family. He was thinking of personally overseeing it, but the moment he reached the lab, he suddenly received William’s report. “Boss! This is bad! Someone has committed murder in the Yorks’ banquet! Charles is dead, and now the madam is one of the suspects...”Jeffrey took a deep breath and had no choice but to let his subordinate take over the matter with the lab. He quickly got back into the car and drove as fast as he could.Once he was back on the island’s banquet hall, the police officer had already confirmed that the fingerprints were a match with Melanie’s f
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 275 Self-Help Is a Headache
“Ms. Melanie, solitary confinement doesn’t allow anyone else to accompany...” the police officer cut her off with her frown.“I’m talking about something else,” Melanie said calmly.Her insistence surprised those who were watching. Even the police officers themselves were surprised. No one could have thought that the first person that could regain their composure was the young woman in front of them, especially when she was accused of being Charles’s killer with all the evidence pointing at her.How could she be so calm? How could she even think of exchanging terms with the police officers?“This is a murder and a scheme. While I’m the primary suspect, I request to be a witness to the investigation,” Melanie said.“You don’t have that right,” the officer refused.But Melanie still refused to give up. “From what I know, your country also has no right to allow all those people in the VIP seats to be there when you’re gathering evidence, right? You still allowed them to do so either
