The crowd turned around and saw Linda walking in gracefully.Except for Joseph, everyone else hurriedly stood up to greet her. Robert practically ran to her side and asked, "Miss Yancey, why are you here?""I came to visit. Do I need to report what I do to you?" Linda frowned slightly, then went straight to greet Joseph. After exchanging pleasantries, she walked over to Melanie and asked with a smile, "So, what do you think of my suggestion just now? Set the rules according to how you usually make perfume. The more detailed, the better!""This method seems a bit risky," Melanie replied with a smile."Why do you say that?" Linda chimed in."With several perfumers present, I'm afraid that if I actually implement it, they'll all follow suit. It'll be a vicious cycle if it happens again in the friendly competition we're hosting in Harbor City, right?" Melanie explained."Hahaha!" Linda burst into laughter.Seizing the opportunity, Melanie continued, "Besides, the Angle family is t
A few days later, the York family hosted a grand banquet. There were numerous guests filling the expansive hall to its limits.Yelena adorned herself in an elegant dress, stunning even Shane and Pam. They had heard about their mother's beauty, but they never imagined she could be this stunning! She looked like a figure straight out of a painting.When Joseph instructed Yelena to take the stage, the butler turned to Melanie. "Miss Melanie, would you accompany Miss Yelena on stage?""Me?"Was it appropriate for her to accompany Yelena on such an occasion?However, it was clearly Joseph's idea, and Melanie knew they had a plan. But seeing how much Yelena wanted her by her side, she agreed.She simply stood beside Yelena on stage, who didn't speak. The butler spoke on her behalf.Melanie wondered if she was asked to accompany Yelena on stage to subtly indicate to the audience that she was the vanguard of the York family.After the butler introduced the lost lady of the York famil
"President Morgan, what's the meaning of this?" Harlow asked sharply.Jeffrey wrapped his arm around Melanie's shoulder before everyone."Since you've stolen the spotlight from Miss Yelena, why don't I take this opportunity to announce something as well!" Jeffrey declared loudly. "Melanie is my woman! If you're proposing to her, you should have asked for my permission first!"Jeffrey's words were resolute and authoritative, instantly silencing the entire room.Unexpectedly, Jeffrey and Melanie's secret marriage was being revealed in public under these circumstances.As people said, plans could change in the blink of an eye.But Melanie remained calm. She knew Jeffrey's move was inevitable, and there were no better options available. If they didn't announce their relationship, Harlow would never relent.It seemed that Harlow's attempt to curry favor with Yelena, who had just returned to the York family, had reached a fever pitch. He intended to marry Melanie to gain Yelena's supp
"Let me put it simply."Professor Turner stepped out of the car. Despite his small stature, he looked up at Jeffrey with an unwavering demeanor."I saved your life once. But back then, it was Melanie's grandfather who saved mine. I inherited many of my medical insights from him. Melanie is closer to me than my own granddaughter. So, tell me, who should I see, her or you?""..."Jeffrey was once again taken aback. When he thought about it, there would be no Professor Turner without Melanie's grandfather. His fatal accident would have undoubtedly been the end of him."Professor Turner, today is the first time I've learned that my grandfather also saved you!" Melanie exclaimed in surprise."That's ancient history."Professor Turner waved his hand, reminiscing about his long-departed old companion with a touch of sadness. "Back then, I discovered a medical treatment in modern medicine that could tackle complex diseases. I insisted on delving into its research, but your grandfather d
"What do you think? My darling granddaughter has been taken from me! Should I congratulate you?!" Professor Turner waved his hand discontentedly. "Forget it! We'll wait until she gives birth before we do the test!""You also know about her heart condition, right? I've been worried about her pregnancy. Her body might not be able to handle it," Jeffrey added."With me around, I'll ensure the safety of both mother and child!" Professor Turner patted his chest reassuringly.Jeffrey's brow twitched slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.After waiting for about half an hour, the gates of the York estate opened again. Melanie accompanied Yelena as they walked out, followed by Shane, Pam, a few servants, and seven to eight bodyguards."Grandpa, I'll accompany her for treatment," Melanie said.Professor Turner waved his hand, gesturing for his assistant to help Yelena into the car, but he stopped the servants and bodyguards behind. "One member of the York family is enough. Too many
"I doubt he'll want to learn medicine from Professor Turner. I saw the medical notes he wrote when I was a child. Those words are simply impossible for a human to write..." Melanie said with a straight face.Jeffrey's eyebrows shot up, amused by her seriousness, and he burst into satisfied laughter.At that moment, Melanie's phone rang. It was her mother calling."Mel, are you still at the York estate? I heard Mr. Turner went to see you?" Eliza asked as soon as she answered."Yes, I'm at Professor Turner's research base now," Melanie replied.Eliza breathed a sigh of relief. After a few seconds of hesitation, as if making a difficult decision, she said, "I'm at the airport now. I'm flying to Medonia tomorrow. There's something important I need to tell you.""Can't you tell me over the phone?" Melanie's heart started to race."I've hesitated about this for a long time, but I still feel that I should tell you in person," Eliza insisted. Then she added, "I've already met Madam Morg
What a joke!Melanie glanced at Jeffrey, who was heating milk for her not far away in the kitchen. She took a deep breath and said, "Jeffrey is right beside me. Who made you accuse him again?""He wants to kill me! Obviously, he's not going to do it himself!" Judas's voice on the phone was low but twisted with fear. "After I got out of prison, we agreed to settle our debts. I just want to live peacefully with my wife. I don't want to kill anymore! He doesn't believe I'll keep his secret. He won't let me live! His people are about to arrive. Please come and save me!""How can I save you?" Melanie asked, playing along."I know the York family values you a lot. Please ask them for help. I'm begging you. I don't want to die! I don't want to see my wife die either..."Judas's words continued, and then the call suddenly disconnected.Melanie blinked in confusion. When Jeffrey approached her with a glass of milk, she casually answered his unasked question, "It was Judas.""What did h
When Melanie woke up, she found herself in Professor Turner's research base.Opening her eyes, she saw Jeffrey with dark circles under his eyes."Are you awake?" His voice was hoarse as he approached, and she could clearly see his bloodshot eyes and the stubble on his chin."My mom... Where is she?" she asked."Mom has been transferred here. She's in the infirmary.""Take me to her," she said.Jeffrey wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent. He carefully helped Melanie out of bed. They stood outside the infirmary and looked through the window where Eliza was breathing through an oxygen mask.Melanie's eyes were slightly moist, but she didn't let herself cry."How did the accident happen?" Her voice was very calm.Jeffrey gestured, and William immediately walked over from the corridor. He handed her a tablet with the accident investigation details on it."The driver of the car Mom was in had a sudden heart attack, and the car crashed into a pillar. The driver di
