“That’s right. I hope that the investigators can give us a conclusion soon,” Annie said in agreement.“One more thing. Annie, can you check if the Yanceys have any family heirloom or something similar? It has to be something very important.”Annie nodded. At this time, one of the staff from the first floor yelled, “Doctor Melanie? You have a friend coming to see you.”Friend?The three of them came out of the room curiously.Melanie had just appeared behind the second floor’s railing when the man on the first floor raised his head and yelled out to her excitedly.“Miss Melanie...!”“Quincy? What are you doing here? Why didn’t you inform me beforehand?” Melanie was also excited and went downstairs to greet him.William and Annie left, leaving some space for them to chat.“I’m here in Delfino for work. Originally, my schedule was quite tight, and I had no time for private matters. But suddenly, our partner didn’t show up, so I suddenly had two hours to visit you... and the boss
Melanie had a bad feeling about it.She recalled the time after she got back from the mountains. Jeffrey’s leg was injured for a long time, and his injuries were far worse than hers.But he had his bodyguards protecting him... How did he get hurt so badly?...She suddenly had a headache. The thoughts for Jeffrey that she had been suppressing so much instantly burst out, and all the tears started to pour forth...At the time, they hadn’t told each other of their love yet...Could it be that... He had been protecting her since then? Why didn’t he tell her anything? Why? Why did she only find out about it now?Quincy had heard about her relationship with Jeffrey. Seeing how emotional she had become, he stood up and said, “I need to see another client in the evening. I feel much better after seeing you. I’ll be leaving now.”“I’m sorry... About that... I need to confirm something, so I won’t ask you to stay any longer,” Melanie got up to see him off.“Please, there’s no need for
Before returning to the country, Professor Turner did a detailed genetic analysis on Melanie.She wanted to do it after giving birth to her boy, but the professor said that the test wouldtoll as well, so it was best for her to fully recover first.But because she wanted to go back, the professor carried out the test early.Seven hours later, they finally saw the result of the analysis.Professor Turner gave her the report. “Someone did something to your birthmark...” “This is... During my heart transplant surgery...?”Melanie first looked at the time it was planted. It matched the time that she had the heart transplant.However, it was filled with digits and special symbols. She looked at it curiously and asked, “What are these things, professor?”“Looks like I’ll have to arrange for you to get familiar with advanced medicine...”The professor took the report in his hand and explained it to her, but she still asked suspiciously after listening, “That means even you don’t know
“Do you still remember it? The fragrance that I shared at the International Fragrance Gathering? The unique perfume that I made for my friend.”When Melanie talked about that perfume, everyone in the meeting room glanced at each other.“Miss Melanie... The perfume had an extremely high demand in the market at the time. We even asked for your opinion about this. But didn't you say that the perfume is for your own private collection and won’t be marketed to the general public?” her personal assistant asked.Melanie narrowed her eyes...The reason that she wanted to save it was because she wanted to give it to Jeffrey.She didn’t want anyone else to share it with him.Or rather... She didn’t want to share his scent with anyone else.But he wasn’t around anymore. Suddenly, she wanted everyone in the world to know just how much she loved him.If the entire world knew about it, would he feel it on the other side?Melanie opened her eyes and spoke in a determined voice.“I’ve alread
“Are you still the same fragrance blending prodigy that I know?”Melanie got closer with a smile and looked at Gabriel in disbelief.“What? Even if I’ve changed my outfit, I haven’t forgotten who I am.” Gabriel couldn’t help smiling in return.Melanie didn’t waste her time and spent the entire day in a meeting. Gabriel didn’t stay idle and changed his style as well.He switched out his discreet and cold outfit. His hair was wilder and he even dyed his hair and wore a suit the color of avocado green... All so he could get her to smile.And he did it.Gabriel opened the trunk for Melanie and helped her with her things. Then, he opened the car door for her. He didn’t forget to ask, “Am I handsome?”“You are.”Melanie smiled again. “Those that don’t know might think that you’re going to debut as an idol.”Gabriel got into the car from the other side.Melanie looked at him. He had styled himself so well. Curiously she asked, “What happened to you? You want to have a new life?”“J
True.There were fewer perfumes that used oakmoss as a base. Many fragrance blenders used Patchouli or Vetiver to replace oakmoss. Some of the brands even used artificial oakmoss.However, that was not what Melanie wanted.“No.”She refused it without hesitation.“Only natural oakmoss essence has the earthy, natural, dense fragrance. The type that would make us feel like we’re in a tropical forest. Even when it’s less than 0.1%, it can be used as a stabilizer. The forest accent that it has cannot be replaced.”As she said that, Gabriel nodded to express his agreement.“Understood. I’ll do as you ask. We’ll think of some other way.” Her colleague on the other end of the line agreed with her.“I’ll think of something from my side as well.”Melanie hung up then looked at Gabriel, who was next to her.He was more familiar than she was with the fragrance market, so she told him about the situation. “Oakmoss isn’t exactly a rare fragrance, right? Why is it suddenly out of stock?”
As Melanie’s heartbeat accelerated, Jeffrey reached her side.When he got closer, he noticed how thin her face was and it made him feel hurt.He didn’t take care of her when she was in the final phase of her pregnancy or during the period that she was recovering. He even became the source of her being upset. The guilt was slowly creeping up on him again.With a frown, he spoke to her gently.“You lost weight.”“...”Melanie was stunned, and she subconsciously avoided him.She recomposed herself before saying with a sneer.“You’re alone, Master Jefford?”“Yeah.”Jeffrey nodded.“No wonder.”Melanie smiled. “So you’ve changed your way of flirting?”“Hm?” Jeffrey wasn’t sure what she meant.Seeing how he didn’t understand, Melanie could only feel disgusted.When his fiancee was around, he would avoid her. But when she wasn’t, he would come over to flirt with her. Her losing weight had nothing to do with him, correct?She took a step back, making some distance between them.
“I heard it’s someone from the Morgans...”The discussion was anything but discreet. They weren’t afraid of her hearing it.“But looking at how close she is with Mr. Gabriel, maybe it’s their lovechild?”“But if she really did give birth to a child belonging to the Morgans, then what bad timing. She must have wanted the child because of Morgan Group’s influence. But the moment she had the child, Morgan Group was on its last breath... Tsk tsk...”“She must be a black widow.”“...’When Gabriel heard that, he couldn’t hold it anymore. He slammed his glass down and wanted to argue with them, but Melanie held his arm and pulled him back.“Let’s have a dance!”Gabriel’s legs froze.He had never danced with her before, and she had just invited him. He naturally let her take control. Very quickly, the two of them got to the dance floor and started dancing.“You really don’t care?” Gabriel cared about her emotional wellbeing.Melanie blinked and she said, “So what if I care? They’re
