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

    “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

    “What do you mean?”The captain asked Melanie.“From your expression, I supposed that I’m mostly accurate in this matter?”Melanie said with determination, “Then, please explain to me if, in theory, my fingerprints were really left behind by the murderer, does that mean that the tool he used is made of silicon?”The captain picked up that taser and sniffed it with his nose. Other than the smell of burnt metal caused by the electricity surge, there was no other scent...“Replicating one’s fingerprints does require the use of silicon, but because silicon has a strong smell, a professional would have removed the scent. There won’t be any scent left behind.”The captain suspiciously explained to them. “I’ve given it a sniff, and there’s no smell. Try smelling it yourself.”The other officers passed the gun around and sniffed, and they all agreed that there was no silicon scent.“Just because you can’t smell it, doesn’t mean I can’t,” Melanie said.“We can all be a witness to that.

    Joseph sat in the garden’s greenhouse. The angle he was sitting at allowed him to see Melanie inside the room. Only after a long while did he say...“Cyrus really likes his little disciple.”“That’s right. He’s been sitting by the door. He never left.” The butler agreed.At this time, a sharply dressed subordinate quickly walked over. He said something to the butler and gave him a document. The butler read it and his expression changed slightly.Before he could say anything, Joseph asked without turning his head, “The test results are out?”“Yes... Master Joseph.”“She’s not...?” Under Joseph’s eyelids, his eyes trembled.“No...”The butler walked over and put the results in Joseph’s hand. “Miss Melanie Jones is not the young master’s descendant... But someone has been tracking us all the way, wanting to sabotage the test results during the festivities. However, our people managed to avoid them without alerting them. The result is real... Master Joseph... Please don’t be sad...

    The entire area was in an uproar.The police didn’t find any trace of silicon!But Melanie had been so sure that almost everyone was deceived by her! Was she trying to buy time? Or maybe she had another partner in crime? Or did she have some other goal?“That’s impossible! I didn’t get it wrong!”Melanie was riled up. She couldn’t believe that this was how things were going to end.She was very confident with her sense of smell. Unless her body was injured, her sense of smell had never failed her.“Stop arguing, Miss Melanie! From now on, you have the right to remain silent. Everything you say can and will be used against you at court!”The high-ranking officer continued, “According to our analysis, there’s no silicon on the taser gun at all. And the grip of the taser is also not made of silicon. If you maintain your argument, the court will believe that you are trying to avoid taking responsibility for your crime!”“If the material isn’t made of silicon, then there’s no mistak

    The man had a bony face with very prominent cheeks. He had handsome features and his lips curved downward. His hair, brows, and sideburns were neatly trimmed, and even his collars were properly ironed.Melanie instinctively felt that he was probably the cleanest man she had ever seen in the past twenty-odd years.He was one of the Yorks’ heirs?Before coming to Medonia, she had read up on the Yorks. Because the Yorks had a hereditary heart condition, the family had always had few members.The patriarch, Joseph York, had one son and one daughter, but they both passed away when they were still young. They had left behind two young grandchildren for Joseph. One was said to be very violent, and the other quite hardhearted. She wondered which of these two he was...The high-ranking officer read the bloody report and called the police station’s laboratory, asking them to do the same test on the same sample.“Bring me the person that brought us the report with no silicon traces!” The hi

    “I know that this isn’t Harbor City nor your territory, but I’ll accompany her.” Jeffrey consoled him with a whisper when he saw Cyrus getting agitated.“Accompany her?”Cyrus gave a cold smile. “Do you think you’re the aegis of Melanie or something?”There were some murmurs from the people around them who were watching, as well as Leo’s coughing every now and then.Melanie gave Jeffrey a look. When she saw the certainty in his eyes, she knew that he had made arrangements. She calmed down a little and walked over to hold Cyrus’s hand and said...“It’s alright, Master. Let’s go home... There’s no use throwing temper tantrums, right?”“What temper tantrums?! You’re the one that’s being forced to stay here, not me!”Cyrus pretended to be frustrated and pushed her hand away before he got back into his car with his crutch.When the convoy finally reached the banquet hall on the island, they saw Joseph waiting for them with a group of people behind him.

    “Leo’s the one that protected the key evidence with his men, which proved my theory right. Otherwise, the test result for the silicon would have been changed. I believe that I owe him thanks for that,” Melanie explained.“Oh?”Joseph turned around and gave Leo a glance. “You’re being attentive for once!”He paused a little before turning around and said, “But it’s all useless. The culprit surrendered himself while you were on your way to the station. Even without the test results, Melanie is innocent!”“You’re right. Cough.”Leo nodded gently, pushing the wheelchair from behind.Joseph turned around and looked at Melanie before saying, “There’s no need to thank him. You youths have your own rules, so you can talk about it on your own. For now, let us eat.”“Sure.”Melanie nodded while Leo gave her a faint smile.She suddenly realized that the atmosphere was a little awkward. She turned around and saw Jeffrey frowning very deeply.She wanted to slow down and wait for him, sens

    The ending of a banquet was the start of another with a different reason.Melanie was getting tired of it, and for some reason Cyrus and Jeffrey weren’t with her.Joseph told his men to take her to a room for some rest and prepared several sets of outfit for her to change into, but she wasn’t that happy and simply went downstairs after fixing her makeup.The York’s old butler bent over while he was pushing Joseph’s wheelchair and said, “Sir, everything’s ready. Later, Miss Melanie will personally thank Leo. Leo will then take her to the next building. The atmosphere will be just nice.”Joseph’s lips formed a wry smile as he ordered, “Keep an eye on Jeffrey.”“He’s not here. Something seemed to have happened and he left the island to deal with it,” the butler said.Joseph nodded. “Then keep an eye on that dock and don’t let him return!”“Understood!”Melanie went downstairs and chatted for a while, and looked around. She then asked one of the servants, “Where’s your young master

    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.
