Harlow’s subordinate came over, and looked through the gap below the door. He found no one, and began pushing against the door. However, he was unable to push it open after trying a few times.

“Mr. York…this…”

His subordinate turned back to ask if he should continue.

Harlow said with a wave of his hand, “Forget it. We won’t bother each other. Let’s leave!”

With that, the opening and closing of another door sounded. Their footsteps vanished in the distance.

“Don’t think about other men while in my arms.”

Jeffrey’s low voice broke the silence in the washroom.

Melanie snapped back to attention, only to find her arms wrapped around his neck as she leaned against his chest and clung into his torso.

She leaped off from his embrace so quickly that Jeffrey tightened his arms around her out of fright.

“Slow down!”

“Shh!”

Melanie looked at the door cautiously, worried that the sound of the door opening and closing from outside was a ruse and that Harlow was still outside.

    “In that case, you might be pregnant,” the doctor said calmly.Melanie’s heart dropped.She quickly calmed herself down, and said, “I’ve been facing more pressure recently and even went overseas. My mood and physical circumstances can affect my menstrual cycle, can’t they?”“That’s right, but everyone’s bodies are built differently. You better do a blood and urine test to confirm whether you’re pregnant or not before we proceed with other tests,” the doctor said with caution.“Melanie, do the tests for peace of mind,” Annie prodded.Melanie nodded, and took the prescription from the doctor.On her way to do the urine test, she couldn’t help but find this entire fiasco fishy. She bumped into a nurse in the washroom, and approached her to ask, “Hello, can I still get a number for the orthopedic clinic?”“Not at the moment,” the nurse said with a shake of her head.“Is your orthopedic clinic very famous? Why are there so many people queuing up to see a doctor there?” Melanie asked

    She…was really pregnant!For five weeks, to be exact!Melanie thought back to more than a month ago. She and Jeffrey had been intimate when she wasn’t ovulating, so how did she get pregnant?No wonder she had been feeling weak, dizzy, nauseous and suffered a loss of appetite…“Melanie…” Annie had tried to mentally prepare herself, but she was in a daze as well. “Did you not have any suspicion at all?”“I’ve been so busy, this completely slipped my mind…”Melanie shook her head. She felt upset, even a little indignant.“What are your thoughts, then?” Annie grabbed Melanie’s hand, afraid that she might be too upset. “I don’t know yet,” Melanie said softly. She had made up her mind to leave Jeffrey, yet found out that she was carrying his child…“Do you…not want the baby?” Annie asked.Melanie didn’t know how to answer Annie’s question. From the corner of her eye, she spotted a pregnant lady seated down. Said lady was rather advanced in her pregnancy. Her hands would occasional

    All the media outlets feared they had missed out on breaking news, while Jeffrey was speeding all the way to the hotel that Melanie was staying in.In her hotel room, Melanie was looking at the invitation card in her hands as she said to Annie, “Take a good break today. We’ll postpone our return to tomorrow.”“Are you really going to visit the Yorks?” Annie asked with concern.“Their butler came in person to say that I helped Joseph York at the banquet yesterday, so he invited me to his house. What’s more, the heads of all the major families will be there, with the sole exception of my master. In other words, he wants me to attend on behalf of my master. What reason do I have to not go?”Annie grabbed Melanie’s hand with a worried look. “What you said makes me feel even more worried. They’re clearly forcing you to go. You’re in no state right now to be entering the lion’s den.”Melanie nodded. She knew the visit to the Yorks would be a tough trip, but the men of the Yorks were act

    Melanie looked down, avoiding his gaze. She said in a cold and business-like fashion, “This was adapted from the most typical divorce settlement template with no additional, special terms. I’ll leave without asking anything of you or Morgan Group, and I won’t make things difficult for you with the board of directors.”“Do you have any idea what you’re doing?” Jeffrey said hoarsely.“Of course, I do,” Melanie said with her fingers intertwined.“Is this really what you want?” Jeffrey said through gritted teeth as he raised the divorce papers up in the air.“Do you think I’m being rash about this?” Melanie looked up at him coldly, and it felt as though the air around them froze.Just then, someone knocked on the door.She took the chance to take a deep breath and walk past Jeffrey to the door. Opening the door, she saw a well-dressed man who asked courteously, “Hello, are you Miss Melanie Jones?”“I am.”The man outside smiled as he handed her an exquisitely wrapped box. “This i

    “Will you wear that tonight?” Annie asked out of curiosity.“I will,” Melanie said with a sigh. “Jeffrey will be going to the dinner, too. If I don’t wear it, it’ll be obvious that I agreed to go just to anger him. He’ll never sign the divorce papers that way.”Jeffrey was going to the dinner too?Annie nodded. She felt more assured with Jeffrey accompanying Melanie to the dinner.Melanie put the box containing the gown and jewelry aside, and got changed into a casual set of shirt and long pants that was comfortable to move in. Very soon, she received a message from the Snow family’s private investigator. “Gabriel has entered the fragrance blending room.”“I’m going there too,” Melanie said to Annie.“Have you thought this through?” Annie asked, still concerned.“It’s fine. I have to actively enter the lion’s den instead of being a sitting duck,” Melanie said as she patted Annie’s shoulders. “Jeffrey’s men are also stationed nearby the fragrance blending room. Don’t worry.”

    The dinner at the Yorks hadn’t officially started yet.The family was in the living hall downstairs. Only the older members of the family were surrounding Joseph, talking in the glass room above the backyard.Everyone saw the scene in Gabriel’s fragrance blending room, and started talking among themselves.“I heard yesterday, she concocted a fragrance for Gabriel in front of everyone using many types of roses as a base, saying that it results in a stark contrast between control and impulse. There’s definitely something between those two!”“Is that…how artists spice things up in their romance…in the fragrance blending room?” someone remarked with a chuckle.Joseph’s face turned dark with displeasure.He turned back and glanced at his two grandsons, his eyes glinting. Harlow couldn’t contain his gleeful expression, while Leo stood there looking aloof, which came as a surprise to Joseph.“Grandpa, this…is their personal affair. It’s not that appropriate for us to continue looking a

    “You… Shut up!” Harlow yelled in frustration, with no way of refuting Melanie.“Why are you getting angry, Mr. Harlow? Did I say anything wrong?” Melanie’s voice turned cold, refusing to spare him.Everyone else understood what was going on and that everything turned out to be Harlow’s ploy.He wanted Melanie and Gabriel to be photographed together in the fragrance blending room, and deliberately created an opportunity to show the Yorks the footage so Melanie’s reputation would be torn to shreds.The Yorks knew that Leo was pursuing Melanie. If Melanie’s reputation was ruined, Leo would in turn become the butt of everyone’s jokes.The Yorks’ heirs were brothers, but everyone knew how insignificant brotherly ties were in the face of inheritance issues.“I’m sorry for ruining the mood. The dinner is about to start. Leo, bring Melanie here.”Joseph kept his gaze down, making it difficult to tell his mood right now. He finally urged Leo to bring Melanie to the dinner banquet after h

    “Mr. Harlow, where did you go just now? Why didn’t you let me come with you?” Sylvia immediately clung onto Harlow upon his return.“Scram!” Harlow glared at her before leaving in frustration.Sylvia tried to hide her indignation and composed herself, straightening out her necklace, before approaching a group of ladies and exchanging pleasantries with them.Coincidentally, the ladies were complaining about Melanie. When Sylvia joined them, they asked, “Did Mr. Leo give Melanie Jones the gown and jewelry she’s wearing?”“Yes, he did.”Everyone knew Sylvia was Harlow’s new girlfriend, and would certainly be aware of things going on in the York family. Her words could be trusted.“How shameless! How dare she accept such an extravagant gift!”Some of the ladies were outraged and raged at Melanie behind her back, while deliberately looking at another woman who was the focal point amidst the group of ladies—Kelly Murray, the heiress of the Murrays.She was the only one who remained

    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.
