Melanie rolled her eyes and retorted, “Who said our alliance is firmer now? After this, I’ll have to be even more careful. Helping you is like committing suicide.”She then continued as she looked at the man’s confused expression. “When you were blinking, I thought your people were somewhere nearby and all we needed to wait for was for Harlow to be distracted so that we could capture him! That was why I took the risk and kicked him. But who could’ve known that you went there alone! You even used a helicopter to grab me away! Are you trying to get me killed making me fall to the ground?! You’re taking so many risks, and aren't exactly the best partner to work with.”“It’s called being brave,” Jeffrey corrected her.But she simply gave him a cold smile.However, Jeffrey’s eyes became filled with emotion as he asked her, “Why did you choose Gabriel at the time and not me?”She knew that the man wouldn’t let go of this.“Of course I’ll choose Gabriel. Even if I’m given another chance
“Are you mad?!”Melanie was both angry and helpless. She was thinking of taking care of him earlier!From the looks of it, Jefford wasn’t changing his lecherous behavior at all, even at the brink of death! He deserved everything that was coming for him!“All I need is to give your head a punch, and not even the gods will be able to save you!” She got up angrily, tidied up her wrinkled outfit, and left.She wasn’t going to watch a lecherous man like him through the night!Jeffrey smiled as he looked at her figure.He knew that he only needed to take things one step further and she would go back to her room to get some sleep.After Melanie left, Jeffrey quickly gave William a text. [Can I see Ermin tonight?][Boss, the madam will visit Master Ermin every night. She’s already gone over just now, and Master Ermin is already asleep. I’m afraid it may be difficult.] William replied.“Let him sleep. We can do this another time,” Jeffrey quickly replied.-Night. Melanie double ch
During the Jones Enterprise’s press conference, they would launch Melanie’s unique perfume and the first series of dresses marking Derrick’s return.As for the perfume’s name, Melanie had decided on the name “Endless Love” so that it could be easily accepted by the international market.In the beginning, when she first launched this perfume just for Jeffrey, she had named it while holding deep sorrow within her. But after everything she experienced, she felt that her love was actually endless.Even if they were eternally separated, she would love and miss him forever.Luckily, the series of dresses that Derrick designed also had eternal love as a theme.The entire press conference was decorated with love and romance in mind.Melanie and Derrick were there overseeing the work, and they were all very happy with the results.Derrick was also going to perform during the press conference. Originally, he wanted Melanie to be his accompanist, but she refused; she didn’t want to steal h
The final rehearsal was successfully completed.In fifteen minutes, the press conference would officially begin.Derrick would first have a speech about the Eternal Series wedding dresses.After so many years, his skills were still far beyond those of this era. He was still spearheading the fashion industry, sparking countless conversations about innovations. Half an hour ago, Derrick personally led the co-designer of the perfume series, Melanie.Melanie received the mic that was passed to her and got on stage.Only one spotlight was directly on her as she stood on stage, and everything was dimmed out. She was holding the first bottle of “Endless Love” that she had blended, and introducing its top, middle, and base notes, as well as the emotions that she wanted to invoke.In the last ten minutes, she would be open to questions from both the media and the guests that were present.After several normal questions, one of the reporters asked a particularly tricky question.“Miss
Although the question and answer section had ended, it was obvious that Linda was speaking to Melanie.All Melanie could do was remain on stage and make sure that she maintained her composure before walking off stage with a smile.“You’re a prodigious fragrance blender, and someone like you must have a lot of love to give. While unfortunate, your most beloved is gone. But now, you’re prepared to launch the perfume that you made especially for him... That means you’re ready to let it all go and open up a new chapter in your life. Congratulations!”Linda deliberately said all that despite knowing that Melanie couldn’t let go of Jeffrey at all.Melanie tried her best to smile, controlling the ebb and flow of her emotions.Linda understood her, and knew well where she would inflict the maximum amount of pain. She wasn’t planning to respond, because the more she said, the more mistakes she would make.Melanie once again prepared to leave the stage, but Linda continued to speak in a lo
“What do you mean?”Gabriel wasn’t sure why Melanie was worried.“I gave it a thought and I think we shouldn’t let our guard down. We should continue to expand our search. Earlier, we only checked the security cameras within the hall, but we didn’t check the ones outside.”Melanie continued, “According to the photos that Jefford sent me, Linda sent in five people. However, we only found two...”“Maybe the other three didn’t come in and are keeping an eye on things outside,” Gabriel analyzed. He didn’t want her to stress too much about it.“I know.”Melanie nodded. It was possible, but her sixth sense was telling her that things weren’t so easy.“Last time, Linda wanted to kill us by trapping us in a burning building. That’s how brutal she can be. But now, simply having two men in disguise slip in here so that Mr. Lynch’s unable to get on stage by triggering his asthma? This doesn’t fulfill Linda’s need for vengeance...”Melanie explained to Gabriel, “Not to mention that he has
Gabriel was responsible for dealing with the unexpected find in secret while Melanie headed back to the press conference.Jefford called her again, worried about her situation.If it wasn’t because he was still injured and the professor wouldn’t allow him to leave, he would be there personally to help her.“Thanks to your heads up, we found what Linda’s men were preparing to do and we’ve dealt with it. Allow me to show you a surprise later,” she said with a smile.Only now did she feel that her alliance with Jefford was something real, and she was willing to sincerely help him deal with his problem and remove the dangers in front of him.It felt good to be able to get an ally’s trust and protection.Half an hour later.Gabriel was done with his project in the northwestern corner of the hall according to Melanie’s request. Once back in the hall, he said, “Everything’s ready. My people couldn’t get too close so we’re not sure when they’ll make a move. That’s the only unknown left
Linda was staring at Melanie as she wasn’t sure what she had up her sleeve! Melanie stopping her from leaving could get her killed.But when more and more people looked at her, Linda quickly smiled seductively at everyone as she changed her expression.“I would like to ask all guests to please follow our staff outside so that we can go to the best place to watch this surprise,” the host once again said.The guests didn’t know what was happening. They simply walked to the door and spoke to Linda respectfully.“Ms. Linda, if you may...”Linda was placed at the forefront.Hundreds of people were looking forward to seeing the surprise she had brought for them and she couldn’t refuse. All she could do was lead the herd and glance at the bodyguard behind her.The bodyguard quickly left. He knew he had to delay the explosion, otherwise his master would be the first to die in that explosion!But Linda was even more shocked!The staff led her and everyone to where she had arranged her
