“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
What was even more difficult for Melanie was that she had to hide the tracker in such a skimpy outfit... After putting the mini tracker on the side of her bra and confirming that the signal was clear, she mustered the courage to open the door of the restroom. Before leaving, she glanced at the coat draped over her shoulders. If she wore the coat, she would feel a bit more secure. But… No one outside was wearing a coat. It would be too conspicuous. What if Nathan recognized her? Forget it! She gritted her teeth and threw the coat into the restroom, wearing only the police uniform. She walked out confidently, striding briskly inside. Although she had prepared herself mentally just now, telling herself to relax while walking and not to show any timidity, every step she took felt comfortable. It was as if she was the emperor wearing new clothes, and she was subjected to everyone's scrutiny. She could only focus on the feeling of the mask on her face, reminding herself that her
"I want money," the bunny girl said bluntly. "No problem," Melanie replied with a smile. To Melanie, that was the easiest condition to satisfy. "Would I have such good luck? There’s no free lunch in this world." The bunny girl scoffed, and continued to drink sullenly. Melanie pursed her lips, and said truthfully, “Do you see the girl in an orange bikini near Mr. Harrison? She's my sister. She doesn't want to accompany him. She's being forced.” The bunny girl lifted her head, and looked at Pam. She had already noticed that Pam wasn't willing to drink, but she didn’t know Pam. They were all strangers to each other, and she just wanted to make money. "I want you to get close to Mr. Harrison," Melanie continued. "Although your primary target is Nathan, it's too difficult and the chances are slim. Since Mr. Harrison is also here on this yacht, his status must be high too. If you can get close to him, you can get something. I'll even give you extra money after that." The bunny gi
Melanie didn't turn around, but she was sure the man behind her grabbing her was Nathan. She would recognize that voice anywhere! She didn't have time to be angry; her mind was racing, wondering if she had been exposed. She had kept her mask on the whole time, and hadn't said much. She wasn't sure if Nathan had recognized her. She could only use a fake voice and say, "I have something to attend to. I need to leave." "This is my territory. Since you're here, whether you leave or not depends on my will," Nathan insisted, pulling her without yielding an inch. She didn't turn around, so Nathan walked up to her and stared into her eyes, making her heart pound. "Do you two know each other?" Nathan asked, looking at Pam. Pam shook her head quickly. "I don't know her!" "Then why did you want to take her away?" Nathan's gaze turned cold as he turned to stare at her. Melanie had a premonition; he was suspecting her identity. "Everyone here is just here to have fun. Why can't yo
At the pier. Jeffrey placed Melanie in the back seat of the car, and sat beside her. It was silent and awkward in the car. Jeffrey turned to look at her, still wearing a mask, and narrowed his eyes. "Why aren't you speaking?" "You... Thank you for saving me..." Melanie continued to speak with a fake voice. Jeffrey raised an eyebrow. Huh. This woman still wanted to lie to him. Did she think he didn’t recognize who she was, even though she had a mask on? Forget about wearing a mask that only covered her eyes, even if she wore one that covered her entire face, he could still recognize her silhouette at a glance! She still wanted to play dumb, but he couldn’t be bothered to expose her. "Why aren’t you asking why I saved you?" "Why did you save me?" Melanie followed his lead. "Because you bumped into me and didn’t repay me, but you went to repay others." Jeffrey smirked cunningly. Melanie could sense an unusual meaning in his smile. She quickly covered her mask, and pr
