At ten o'clock the next morning. Melanie and Annie arrived on time at the conference room of Morgan Group's Delfino branch. Several business partners, who were prepared to negotiate, were puzzled when they saw Melanie and Annie. They asked, "Where is Mr. Moore?" After Jeffrey's accident, and before Madam Morgan fell seriously ill and was hospitalized, Madam Morgan personally signed a document that allowed William to temporarily take over the position of president. Today, the business partners came to negotiate the termination of the contract and wanted to talk to William in person. "Mr. Moore has entrusted us to hold the meeting with everyone on his behalf." Annie took out a power of attorney signed by William, and circulated it among those present. Some who didn't recognize them asked provocatively, "Who are you people?" "I am Mr. Moore's girlfriend, and this is the late President Morgan's wife, Melanie Jones," Annie asserted confidently. In the conference room, the
The live broadcast was a signing ceremony that drew attention from media that covered financial news. On the signing table was Mr. Sheppard from Sheppard Co and William from Morgan Group. The headline of the report was: Sheppard Co. Invites Morgan Group to Share the Market of New Superhard Materials. Skepticism could be felt in the Morgan Group conference room. The business partners weren’t stupid. Some made phone calls to inquire about the situation, while others quickly instructed their assistants to check the details of the cooperation between Sheppard Co. and Morgan Group. A few minutes later, after they confirmed the news they heard, they looked at Melanie and Annie differently, abandoning their previous arrogance and rudeness and becoming ridiculously polite. This was because Sheppard Co. had signed a five-year contract with Morgan Group in one go. Mr. Sheppard was a renowned figure in the business world, and his strategic vision was impeccable. This indicated that Mo
Melanie specifically made time to chat with Yelena in her room after dinner. "Where's Pam?" Melanie asked subconsciously. Pam used to stay in Yelena's room every day, eating and sleeping together, but this time, she was nowhere to be seen. Yelena shook her head. "I don't know what's gotten into that girl. She insisted on moving out a few days ago." A few days ago? Wasn't it because of her? After some thought, Melanie decided to say, "Yelena, do you know that Pam is dating?" Yelena nodded. "I know a little, but she doesn't want to talk much about it. Shane told me some things." Melanie paused before saying, "I should talk to Pam first, but...there hasn't been a good opportunity, and I feel guilty if I don't say it." She regarded Yelena as family. Pam was like her little sister, so she decided to be frank. "The person Pam likes is called Nathan, and his identity and family background is a bit complicated. We've had dealings with him before... I'm afraid Pam will get hu
“Can’t you play along for a little bit?” Melanie smiled. "You always tell others that I’m your apprentice to make me look good, so now I've come to show respect to my master." Professor Turner took a sip of coffee. "Hmm, it's quite fragrant. Let's get to the point." "I've heard you say before that you and a few other old miracle doctors often organize gatherings to study difficult and rare diseases encountered recently, right?" Melanie said, not beating around the bush. "Have there been any gatherings recently?" "Do you want to go?" Professor Turner raised an eyebrow. "Yeah..." Melanie thought for a moment and said, "I want to meet Dr. Maximilian." "Are you saying that if he's there, you'll go, but if he's not, you won't?" Professor Turner exposed her thoughts again. Melanie smiled helplessly and nodded. "Then you don't need to go." Professor Turner waved his hand. "Even if that fellow goes, he won't show himself." "Is that so?" Melanie was a little surprised. "Yeah.
Annie couldn't help but say, "Is it true, darling? I admire you so much." "You can admire me after I get the signature," Melanie joked. Melanie explained her plan to Gabriel and Annie. Both of their eyes lit up, and they said, "Don't worry, we'll make sure to bombard Robert with phone calls!" Melanie smiled. She deliberately kept a low profile when she went out, wearing a hat and a mask to hide her face. She took a taxi to the certification center, filled out the forms, and then discreetly queued up to get it signed. She was wrapped up so tightly that it wasn't until she was about to reach the front of the line that Linda's informant spotted her and quickly reported to Linda over the phone. "Miss, Melanie is queuing up at the certification center!" "Stop her! Don't let her in!" "It's too late. Her number has been called, and she's already inside..." "Quick, call Robert!" "I can't get through. I've been trying, but the line is busy..." "You’re useless!" Linda slam
"Robert! Why didn't you answer the phone?" Linda stormed in, furious. "Huh?" Robert was a bit confused. "How would I dare? Ms. Yancey, I told my assistant to answer the phone just now... There were just too many calls coming in..." After pausing for a few seconds, he asked again, "Ms. Yancey, is there something I can help you, seeing that you’re here?" Seeing Melanie standing there, Linda was furious. If she had arrived just a moment later, Melanie might have gotten the certification documents! "If it weren't for my support, could you have been in this position for so long? Do you still want to keep your job?" Linda scolded angrily. Robert was scared. "Yes..." He didn't know why Linda was so angry, but seeing Melanie in front of him, he could harbor a guess. Before, Linda had reprimanded him for targeting Melanie. She had also stood up for Melanie in front of him more than once... Linda must be angry because he had made things difficult for Melanie. In an instant, Ro
"You...!" Melanie was so angry that she laughed. "You really are a complete scoundrel!" "Accurate. So, the question now is, are you willing to marry this scoundrel?" Jeffrey continued teasing her. "You’re annoying!" Melanie forcefully pushed aside his arm, and turned to leave. Jeffrey wanted to stop her again, but then thought better of it and said from behind her, “You have three days to give me an answer. Otherwise, I'll take your silence as consent. Three days from now, I'll bring the betrothal gifts to the entrance of the base.” Melanie paused in her steps, grinding her teeth in anger. This man's arrogance and unreasonable behavior were simply outrageous! However, he knew her weaknesses and had her under control. She didn't want her friends and family at the base to witness his "proposal" three days later. Would she have to reluctantly agree to his so-called "proposal" under coercion? She was speechless. Her mind was in turmoil, so she decided not to think about i
Jeffrey was wearing a cap and mask. Although Gabriel felt that something was fishy, he couldn't tell who was sitting in the driver's seat. Melanie pushed them inside. "I got the certification!" "My dear, you're amazing!" "I knew you could do it!" This good news successfully diverted Gabriel and Annie's attention. The three entered the base, and everyone else was immersed in the joy of Jones Enterprise finally being able to officially enter the perfume market in Delfino. Melanie also gradually calmed down. She suddenly thought of something. Now that Jefford was seeking her support, what was there for her to fear? Even if she didn't agree to his unreasonable proposal, would he really dare to come here to propose? Wasn't he afraid that she wouldn't give him the jade ring? Moreover, he still had a "legitimate" fiancée. If he came to propose to her, wouldn't he be asking for trouble? Melanie sat on the sofa, finally feeling relieved. Strangely, why did her intelligence see
