“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
Everyone was shocked.They didn’t know what happened, but they were all shocked by Linda’s desperate scream and they were all stressed out.Linda had already escaped, and her bodyguards all chased after her, covering her...But two seconds later...Boom!First, a firecracker exploded and it blew up the earth that was covering the “explosives”. Then...Hiss!After a screeching sound, a red bolt fired up above, slicing through the night sky.And then... Boom! Boom! Boom!The sounds of fireworks started to ring as they streaked directly into the sky, bursting in a parade of prismatic hues in the dark night.“How dare you trick me, Melanie?!” She cursed under her breath as she gritted her teeth.The bodyguard finally realized what happened and quickly asked, “They’ll be looking for you to thank you later, miss. Do... you want to go back?”“What for? Am I not embarrassed enough?”Linda yelled at him angrily. After she finished, she walked away angrily.The guests who were watc
Melanie gave a bright smile. “Of course. I personally set this up, so of course it’s going to be pretty! But you already missed the best part of tonight...”“What?” Jeffrey asked.In order to make it easier for them to chat, Melanie turned the camera back to herself. “Your aunt told her bodyguards to dance in front of everyone tonight. I even recorded it. I’ll send the video to you later so you can watch. I heard that the song is called ‘You’re So Pretty’.”Jeffrey also laughed.He had not laughed out loud like that for a long time.Just imagining it was enough to make him smile, not to mention that she was also laughing on the other side of the camera.Her smile was able to infect him well. “After that dance, I put on a firework show to entertain everyone. I heard that many of the partners that worked with Linda for a long time are going to pay you a visit next time. Heal up and be prepared soon.”“Sure.”“Linda’s dug her own grave this time,” she couldn’t help but say again.
“I want to be alone tonight.”Melanie’s voice was low.And then, she hung up.Jeffrey put down his mobile and picked up the Endless Love perfume that William had just sent over and opened the perfume cover...The familiar scent entered his nostrils.It was the perfume that she made for him.He almost lost his memories, almost forgot everything that was burned into his bones...He didn’t know how she was able to have the bravery to pick up this perfume again... And to face “him” who was already dead...But he knew why she wanted to be alone for tonight.That was because in an hour... After midnight... It would be his birthday.-Melanie went back to the research base, immediately going to her room and not seeing anyone.Everyone thought that she was just too tired and that she went to bed. However, she wasn’t asleep. Once it was midnight, she grabbed a small cake and quietly headed to the rooftop of the research base.The wind at night was a bit strong. The candle only lit
“Jeff...”Before Melanie could say his name, she saw Jefford sitting in the wheelchair.Most of the tears in her eyes dissipated.“Disappointed?”The man got closer to her in his wheelchair.Melanie turned her head away and didn’t want to say anything else. She simply asked, “How did you get your hands on Endless Love?”“Since my ally didn’t give me one, I bought one myself,” Jeffrey said, teasing.Only the gods knew just how much effort he had to muster to suppress his emotions when he sprayed the perfume on his arm.“It’s lucky that I made it limited then.”Melanie also started to joke around thanks to how relaxed he was being.“You set a limit to have everyone buy five of them at most, but how do you know just how many people I sent to buy it?” Jeffrey said with a smile. “Maybe, half of your sales tonight is thanks to me!”“Ha.”Melanie shook her head as she didn’t really care. “As long as someone’s willing to pay, who cares who’s buying it.”Jeffrey smiled. She was sti
“This...”It was the emerald necklace that Jefford won in the auction. Melanie was stunned. “Isn’t this for your cousin? Why is it with you?”“Ha.”Jeffrey let out a laugh. “You finally know who she is. You're not mistaking her as my fiancee anymore, are you?”Melanie glared at him. She didn’t want to think about the stupid mistake she made in the past.“It’s not too late to give it to your son,” Jeffrey said sincerely.Melanie pouted and pushed his hand away. “He doesn’t need this.”“Then keep it for him. Consider it a gift from your ally,” Jeffrey said as he was worried that she would say no again. “Give me a chance.”“That’s right. Only I can get the support of the Yorks for you. It’s not a loss for you even if you buy ten of these necklaces for me.” Melanie finally extended her hand and accepted it.“Here...”Suddenly, the man extended his hand toward her face.Melanie wanted to move away and raised her hand to block him, but she hesitated. That was how the man managed t
