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
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 406 Bastard
Sylvia knew Harlow's weaknesses, and targeted what he cared about. "It's not important whether that bastard lives or dies. The important thing is, someone isn’t taking your orders seriously! Someone’s disobeying you behind your back. If we don't find out who it is and make an example out of this person, how can you maintain your authority here in the future?" Someone dared not to listen to him? This point indeed hit Harlow where it hurt the most, and his temper flared. “Investigate! Investigate right away!" he ordered his subordinates harshly. "You don't need to worry. I've already had someone investigate these past few days." Sylvia flipped her hair, showing off her accomplishments. "None of the servants bought any anti-inflammatory medicine. In these few days, the only person who used similar medication in the York family is just one person. Can you guess who?" Harlow glared at her impatiently, and Sylvia hurriedly continued, "It's Leo! A few days ago, he got injured whil
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 407 Get Rid of Him
Joseph only received Cyrus and Melanie this time. Leo was also present, accompanying them for the meal. In the York family, such a simple dinner only served to highlight the guests' nobility. After the meal, Melanie took the opportunity to ask Leo, "How's your injury?" "Just a minor injury. All healed now,” Leo smiled. "The medications the doctor prescribed for me were very effective. In less than three days, the wound has already healed." As he said the last sentence, Leo looked at Melanie meaningfully. There was a change in his tone, as if implying something. Melanie blinked. Leo was perceptive, probably noticing that she had taken medicine from his room without permission. Yet, since he didn't make it explicit, it indicated that he tacitly agreed to keep it a secret. Melanie smiled and nodded. "That's good, or I would feel even more guilty." The two chatted for a while, and Leo left to answer a phone call. Cyrus’s assistant approached Melanie and said, "Today is th
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 408 Not Worthy of Living in This World
"Who are you?" Melanie shouted. However, she immediately breathed in more thick smoke, causing her to choke on the smoke and not be able to speak. Instinctive calls for help were often the least effective. Melanie forced herself to calm down quickly and took out her phone, only to find that there was no signal at all. It seemed that those people outside were well-prepared; they had set up signal interference in the vicinity, leaving her with no way to call for help. She instinctively thought that the people outside must be here to deal with her, and she had inadvertently involved the child. She had saved Gabriel from a burning room before, so she had some experience this time. Melanie quickly surveyed the room. She remembered that the woman taking care of the boy had fetched water from the room last time. Sure enough, she quickly found the wash basin. She wet two towels with soapy water, and tightly covered the boy's mouth and nose with one. "I-I’m scared!” The boy tre
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 409 Biological Mother
Melanie woke up from a nightmare. In the dream, she and the boy were trapped in thick smoke, unable to find a way out. She kept coughing until she coughed herself awake. "It's okay... I'm here..." The voice that entered her ears was, surprisingly enough, Jeffrey’s voice. Melanie was startled. She opened her eyes abruptly, and indeed saw that familiar face. Tears welled up in her eyes. "I'm not dreaming, right? Is it really you?" She reached out to touch his face. "It's me... I'm here..." Jeffrey held her hand in return, looking at her tearful eyes. His eyes were crimson as he frowned in worry. "What happened?" Seeing Jeffrey, Melanie instantly found a pillar of support. She calmed down, and her first reaction was to reach for her belly. "The baby?" "The baby is fine." Jeffrey gently covered her slightly cool fingertips, warming them. "Don't worry, he's very well." "But I inhaled a lot of smoke..." Melanie still had doubts. "The doctor said he's developing we

Jeffrey turned to look at William, who promptly replied, "Madam, Mr. Harlow York has been mingling with women ever since he was a teenager. Although he wasn’t yet thirty ten years ago, it would still be difficult to investigate..." Jeffrey shot him a look, and William hastily assured, "But I will immediately send people to investigate, difficult or not!" "Why investigate the biological mother of that child? What do you know?" Jeffrey asked Melanie. Melanie told him about the conversation she overheard between the man and woman while she was half-conscious. Jeffrey poured her a glass of warm water, watching her drink sip by sip. "So, you think she saved you and doesn't want to reveal her identity?" Melanie nodded. "Yes. And I have a feeling that the identity of the child's mother is crucial, and it hides a deep secret... Besides, since Harlow and I are already at odds, getting dirt on him would be advantageous and harmless to me." Jeffrey nodded, agreeing with her. "You me

"He's in the country?" Melanie was curious. "He has no fixed residence. I can email him, but I don't know when we will receive a reply," Jeffrey replied. Melanie smiled. She felt that whenever Jeffrey mentioned this medical genius, his tone became involuntarily respectful, completely different from his usual decisive and ruthless style. It showed the magnificence of a lifesaver's halo. After a pause, she said, "When the fire started, I initially thought someone was trying to harm me. I thought it was probably Harlow. Later, after the child crawled out and was caught by the men outside, they threatened him, so I felt like they were targeting him. I'm not sure if it was orchestrated by Harlow. Moreover, that child is his son... "But now that my master has already caused a ruckus at the York family, this matter probably won't end well. I might as well take this opportunity to bring the evidence linking Harlow to the assassin at the banquet to Joseph York, and see how he handles it

Jeffrey pondered for a moment and replied, "My family doesn't even have this medicine." "Yes. I've instructed our men to follow this lead and investigate whether there are any women matching Mrs. Morgan’s description among the relevant individuals, and whether they’ve had contact with Harlow. However, I'm not sure if some major families have secretly purchased this medicine. I'll keep an eye on it," William said shrewdly. Jeffrey nodded. "Focus on investigating families that have recently had someone injured, and need to recuperate." "Yes!" William acknowledged. The search for the biological mother of the boy hadn’t yielded any results yet. On the other hand, the Yorks had given an explanation. After the commotion caused by Cyrus and the pressure exerted by Jeffrey and Leo, Joseph ordered the retrieval of most of Harlow's assets within the company, suspended his position within the company, and confined him to the home until the investigations into the fire and assassination

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
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 1082 I Have Evidence
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
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 1076 What's So Good About Men?
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.
