Derrick’s performance was supposed to mark the end of the banquet, but the atmosphere reached a peak.

Gabriel found himself surrounded by elders he was familiar with, eager to exchange pleasantries with him. Melanie avoided the crowd, and headed to the washroom alone.

She felt great remorse.

It would have been all right if she were unaware, but she clearly knew about the grudge Yancey Group had against Morgan Group. Why was she still so careless as to allow Yancey Group to resort to decoy tactics, and thereby successfully attack Morgan Group’s most major business lines?

She stood before the sink in the washroom for a long time, rinsing her hands with cold water. The cold water pierced through her numb hands and right into her bones.

She forced herself to remain calm, reminding herself to remember this painful lesson. Morgan Group was on the cusp of collapse, and couldn’t withstand yet another wrong move…

Tonight’s banquet was organized by Mr. Sheppard.

    “Ha!”Melanie smiled coldly.Give the man an inch, and he’ll take a mile!She retracted her stubborn expression and sneered. “I just didn’t want to waste all the risk I took for a few days. You died from an infection after I saved you... Then I shouldn’t have saved you in the first place.”Jeffrey’s eyes darkened as he flapped his wounded arm. He had bandaged it in a rush, so he didn’t properly sanitize it. He pursed his thin lips and agreed.Melanie led the way and walked around to the back of the party.“How did you know that there’s an infirmary here?” Jeffrey asked in shock. This was where he’d found the medkit just now.Melanie didn’t answer.In order to get closer to Derrick, who had asthma, she had specifically asked where the infirmary was, just in case.The two of them soon reached the infirmary.Melanie opened the medkit, familiar with its workings, and removed all the bandages that Jeffrey had put on himself. While she had an idea of what his injuries were like, it

    “Calm down!”Jeffrey immediately raised his hand to stop her.This woman thought that he was Jefford Yancey and detested him. If she suddenly missed...Melanie sneered. “If you’re afraid, then you better hold your tongue. I don’t want to listen to any of your sexual harassment.” “Is it sexual harassment? It’s obviously normal for a man to flirt with a woman,” Jeffrey continued to speak with Jefford’s personality.Melanie rolled her eyes. “In your understanding, is this something that you can say to a woman so simply?”She was learning new things again.“Correction. It’s a man flirting with a woman that mutually likes him back,” he explained with careful use of words.Mutual?Likes?There was a bit too much information in that sentence of his!“First of all, allow me to emphasize that I don’t hold any “liking” towards you at all. Also, what do you mean by ‘mutually like’? Do you like me too?” Melanie asked attentively.Jeffrey was just going to answer when suddenly, there w

    There was excitement in Melanie’s eyes as Jeffrey’s heartbeat accelerated.This was the first time he told her that he wasn’t dead.He hid the excitement in his eyes and said, “Take me there and I can tell him that I’m Jeffrey Morgan. That I’m simply putting on a disguise as I stayed with the Yanceys.”“...!”Melanie was shocked.She believed that she was listening to fiction!“You must be mad, Mr. Jefford! Or do you think I’m mad?! How can this help you? Don’t you want to have a hold on the Yanceys?!”“It’s exactly because I want to take a hold in the Yanceys.”Jeffrey handled her suspicion well. “There’s a condition for my assistance. If we succeed, then you have to promise me that you’ll support me against Linda and her faction.”“Me?”Melanie smiled coldly. “What do I have that can assist you?”“Your relationship with the owner of the Windborough Estate,” Jeffrey answered.“What does this have to do with him?” Melanie asked, confused.“He’s extremely important to the Y

    The flash light from Gabriel’s mobile disappeared into the darkness. Only then did Jeffrey come out from behind the cabinet.He was still hurt.A few months ago, he had awakened from darkness and had to face the entire alien Yancey family.Most of the Yanceys were loyal to Linda; they rejected him and spied on him. And the small portion of people that supported him were all the matron’s men and not his.He disguised himself with an unruly personality, trying his best to find his missing memories. He thought that those would be the worst days. But it was only when he recovered his memories on the day the woman he loved the most was giving birth did he realize that just because he remembered the past, it wasn’t like he could return to it. That was even more painful.Just like today—Even if he knew that the Morgan Group’s core businesses had suddenly failed, he didn’t dare drink any alcohol.He was scared that he might say something he shouldn’t when he was drunk.All he could do w

    The owner’s grayish-white brows twitched. He didn’t expect that Melanie would know so much. “Seems like you know more than I thought. However, you only know half of it.”“What do you mean?”“The jade ring is half of a pair. Mrs. Yancey has been keeping one of them, and she has passed the other one to Jeffrey’s mom...”“Is there a meaning to separating the two?” Melanie asked.“Of course there is.”The owner started to explain. “When overseas, all the Yancey Group’s employees will need to obey the orders of the one with the jade ring as if they have met the confirmed scion. However, that’s to the outsiders. For insiders, the Yancey Group’s board will acknowledge the one with both jade rings as the true scion.” That was why Jefford wanted to get his support!Melanie finally understood the reason!But...“If this is so important, why didn’t you take this back to the Yanceys after so many years?” she asked doubtfully.The owner then nodded and explained...“Your suspicion also

    “How do we try?” Gabriel asked.When he looked into Melanie’s determined eyes, he knew that she had a plan.“I’ll go see him and deal with him accordingly,” Melanie said.They couldn’t delay. She asked her colleagues at the fragrance department to prepare all the verification documents. Once the materials were all ready, she would need to see Locke as soon as possible.However...Saving the Morgan Group was more important than the launch of her fragrance.The remaining partners that were not going to continue with their contract would have their contracts expire in five days.Which meant that she only had five days!Melanie opened her mobile. The first row on her missed calls list was an unfamiliar number that she hadn’t picked up. She gave it a look and made a risky decision.-Night.Melanie was in the baby’s room back in the base, trying to get little Ermin to sleep.They all said that babies who came unexpectedly were here to return the favor to their parents.

    Melanie didn’t like to hear Jefford expressing his care for her. His half-genuine tone made her feel uneasy, and so she used this chance to tease him, saying, “Seems like the bathroom is your favorite place.”“Not exactly.”Jeffrey knew that she wanted to run, and so followed along with her conversation and said, “If you want to blame someone, blame how the Yanceys like to renovate things to the point that the best path to use is through the bathroom.”He came closer and looked at her under the moonlight.Every time after she had to travel a long distance, she would look very pale. This time, he was even more upset as her face had become pale due to the cold.Melanie didn’t notice how he was looking at her differently. She grabbed the remote control on her bedside table and switched on a small night lamp nearbyAnd then, she grabbed a stack of documents that she had prepared earlier from under her pillow. She needed Jefford to become familiar with Jeffrey’s movements and habits.

    The next second, Melanie grabbed Jeffrey’s hand and held it to her face. She was craving the sweetness of this moment.“Don’t go, Jeffrey... Don’t go...”Jeffrey was stunned as he nodded. “Alright, I won’t go.”Melanie seemed to be very happy at his words, and she finally smiled and closed her eyes.Only then did Jeffrey know that she was only half conscious.He could relax because of that.He bent over and gave her forehead a deep kiss.Then, he once again moved the hair on her face and used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on itJeffrey didn’t sleep for the whole night because he was drowning in feelings of happiness from the documents that she had organized. He also kept on changing the wet towel on her forehead.By the latter half of the night, her fever was finally gone. Her breathing had calmed down, and he could let out a breath of relief.He extended his hand to comb her thick hair and touch her red face. She was right in front of him.

    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.
