It was time to show off her acting skills! When Jane saw how saddened Melanie was and how overwhelmed Jeffrey was, she thought that they had fallen for it and immediately tried to make things worse. “Please listen to me, Miss Melanie! Mr. Morgan wasn’t fully awake earlier. That’s why this happened between us. Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about this...” “Scram!” Jeffrey stared at Jane. The fury in his eyes was reaching a boiling point. Jane instantly wept. “Jeffrey Morgan... I never thought that you're someone this irresponsible! I’m trying to explain things to you, but you’re trying to get rid of me. You’re afraid that she will see us, right? But she has already seen it! What’s the point of getting rid of me?!” Jeffrey’s anger exploded as he turned around and grabbed the mobile on the desk before dialing a number and giving orders to the person on the other end. “Get someone in here and drag this madwoman out of my room!” When Jane saw that Jeffrey was doing this for
Jane saw that he looked extremely cruel, and was even scarier than Luis and Nathan. With a mumble, she said, “I simply took a picture while posing with him. Jeffrey’s injured... So, I can’t really...”“And you cared about him?!” Harlow gave her a mocking stare.“Is Jeffrey’s wound quite bad?”Nathan asked, “Morgan Group had hidden the news of him getting injured, and despite all my men in the Yorks, they didn’t get any pictures of his injury.”“If you ask me... It’s quite severe...” Jane answered carefully.“Did you get a picture of his injury?” Luis asked.Jane nodded. “I did. I took it all.”“Very good. You performed admirably well. You’ll be rewarded.” Nathan smiled.“Not only will we be able to make Jeffrey leave Melanie, but we can also make the pictures of his injuries publicly available. Jeffrey’s public image had always been a cripple in a wheelchair. Now that he’s injured again, the Morgan Group’s shares will be affected. Harlow, we need to take advantage of this and the Morga
“Tonight when she was alone with Jeffrey, all she did was simply pose and take pictures without doing anything. How confusing.” After Melanie said that, she didn’t care what Nathan wanted to say, and she immediately told him why she was there. “Nathan, by coming here to see you, it proves that I’m not here with any hostility. “It’s unfortunate that your sister left this world in her youth after the car accident, and I can feel your pain because my father passed away during a car accident as well. We weren’t prepared at all before losing him.” Melanie then said with sincerity in her eyes, “I’m also very grateful that your sister gave me her heart. Without it, I would have died a long time ago. If you’re approaching me because of her heart, I’m willing to be your friend. But if you have other plans that will affect my life, I’m afraid I won’t agree to that.” After finishing saying all that in one breath, there was a spark in Nathan’s eyes as they slowly turned red. “To be honest,
"My dad..." Melanie staggered, her vision darkening for a moment. "Are you saying that my father's death was not accidental, but a murder instead?" Nathan neither confirmed nor denied it. "In Harbor City, who can compare to Jeffrey when it comes to manipulating the situation and covering up crimes?" After calming down, Melanie asked, "Why are you telling me all this?" "Perhaps I haven't mustered the courage to move on from the pain of losing Emma. That's why I value you so much. I don't want you to be deceived by Jeffrey," Nathan said solemnly. "But I heard that you and Jeffrey were as close as brothers back then..." Melanie trailed off. Nathan's eyes flickered for a moment before he replied, "In the past year, we've had too many disagreements. Our goals and paths have diverged. Things are not as they used to be." "I suppose the disagreements between you two are because of me?" Melanie said calmly, poker-faced. "The relationship between the three of us is intricate an
"At first, I did have the intention of seeking revenge. I planned to recover my health as quickly as possible abroad, and return to seek revenge once I was healed. However, before I returned, your father had an accident. "I did send people to investigate at that time, but all evidence indicated that it was a genuine accident. The driver responsible for the accident was drunk, and is still in prison. I didn't pay much attention to that incident afterward, until you mentioned that the Snows found out and caused others to look into it." Jeffrey began explaining, trying to share everything he knew with Melanie. He trusted her sharp mind to make the right judgments. "Regarding the surgeon who performed your surgery back then, Nathan lied to you about one thing," Jeffrey continued. "After completing your surgery, Clement continued working in the hospital for more than a year. He disappeared suddenly only after your father's accident. Several other medical staff who knew about the surge
"Pfft." Stephen couldn't hold back a laugh that announced his presence. In the next second, he was coldly stared at by Jeffrey, causing him to quickly lean back into the sofa. "No need to be embarrassed. Judging by your appearance, you're deficient in vitality. No wonder it's so hard for me to hope for a great-grandson," Madam Morgan declared, picking up her phone and sending a message to someone. "Grandma, isn't your eldest great-grandson here?" Jeffrey asked helplessly. "Him?" Madam Morgan glanced at Stephen, who was holding a pillow and not sitting properly, and shook her head. "This child is a waste! I want a great-grandson who I can teach properly. If it's a great-granddaughter, that’s even better. If she’s as beautiful and clever as Melanie, I'll pass on my lifelong knowledge of fashion to her!" "Granny, daughters usually look like their dad," Jeffrey said, a smile playing on his lips. He really wanted a daughter. "What do you know? As daughters grow older, they become
The traditional medicine practitioner prescribed a fifteen-day course of traditional medicine tailored for Jeffrey. After bidding farewell to the doctor, Madam Morgan immediately instructed the kitchen to prepare the medicine and insisted he start taking it today. Smelling the bitter aroma wafting from the kitchen, Stephen looked at his uncle’s miserable face and asked, "Grandma, why didn’t you ask for a prescription for Aunt too? Giving birth is a joint effort, isn't it?" "During conception, men play a more important role.” Madam Morgan glanced at Stephen with dissatisfaction. "And just by looking, it’s obvious the problem lies with your second uncle! With such kidney deficiency, I can't bear to watch! Your aunt has back problems, and the current priority is to care for her back. Otherwise, when she gets pregnant in the future, back pain will be a hardship." "Grandma, you're truly wise," Melanie genuinely laughed. An hour later, under the intense gaze of three pairs of eyes,
The next day, Melanie took Jeffrey's private plane to Medonia. Throughout the journey, she enjoyed the full-service treatment from the entire staff on the plane. She had even better treatment than the injured Jeffrey. Cyrus also arrived at the venue for the fragrance competition. Knowing that Melanie was back, he specifically asked her to take him to the fragrance blending room to smell the fragrance she had created. "Is this fragrance a mystery, or a solution?” Cyrus asked. "Mystery," Melanie replied. "The fragrance base is deep, melancholic, with middle notes of mimosa and musk. When you smell it, it immediately accumulates in your heart, bitter and lingering. What mystery are you creating?" "Emotion," Melanie said. "Emotion?" "Yes, the most unpredictable thing in the world is emotion. The word emotion is like flowers and dew, or clouds and moon. They appear to be intertwined, but are forever separated. What’s love supposed to be? It makes one hold no fear in the face
