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
After driving for a while, Melanie looked at the road sign and said, “Can you please drop me off at the next intersection? I want to visit my master first.”“Grandpa already knows you’re coming back. Maybe you can visit Elder Gibson next time?” Leo turned around and asked.“You know how bad his temper is. After not seeing him for so long, he told me that I must see him first. I can’t say no to that,” Melanie said with a smile. “I’ll have lunch at Elder Gibson’s and then visit Mr. Joseph in the evening. It’s more official that way.”Since they weren’t really family in the first place...“True.”Yelena knew that she had something that she needed to worry about, and so she agreed to it.-This time, the ones greeting Melanie at the gates were no longer only the servants, but also Elder Gibson himself.“Why are you here personally?” Melanie said in shock as she got out of the car.“We haven’t met for so long. Isn’t it natural for me to want to make it somewhat grander?”Elder Gib
The atmosphere was tense. Cyrus recounted the things he had done for Yelena during this period, but Melanie shook her head as she listened. As it turned out, everything he did were simply romantic gestures from when he and Yelena were younger... Cyrus was puzzled and anxious. "Why are you shaking your head?" "I think you’re wasting your time," Melanie said. "You're treating Pamela as the old Yelena, rather than her current self." Cyrus didn’t seem to understand, so Melanie continued to explain, "Pamela has amnesia. When she came back, she told me she still has no emotional attachment to the Yorks. She doesn't feel like it's her home at all. She doesn't think much of your romantic gestures in the past. If you want to impress her, you need to get to know her again and treat her new self wholeheartedly. Only then is there a chance of her falling in love with you." Cyrus’s eyes widened. He felt that what Melanie said made sense. He had been too eager to help Yelena recover
The driver acknowledged Melanie’s order and turned the car around, following the car that Pam left in. It seemed Pam was still the same innocent girl. She wasn’t on guard, and did not notice the car following her. The car sped up and drove for a long time until it finally arrived at the seaside. Two luxurious yachts were parked there. Many men and women could be seen enjoying themselves. Melanie instructed the driver to stop the car. She happened to see Pam getting out of the car and heading straight for one of the yachts. As Pam reached the stairs, she took off her hat and coat. Unexpectedly, she was wearing only an orange bikini inside. The color matched her tan skin. Melanie was not used to seeing her dressed this way. She frowned, and picked up her phone to call Annie. "Annie, when I got off the plane, you said that Nathan was also in Delfino, right?" "Yes, why? Did you see him? Is everything okay?" Annie asked, worried. "Not exactly, but please have your people che
