I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 70 The Signal
“A bunch of thugs, up to no good.”The private detective summarized, "But if they're following you here, it's unlikely for robbery or assault. This auction is not a good time for such activities.""I think so too."Melanie nodded in agreement, "I don't know who's behind them yet. For now, let's not startle the snake. Just keep an eye on their movements.""But Ms. Melanie, their seats are right next to yours. Aren't you afraid that-""I'm not."Melanie was confident, "The person directing them wants to witness my embarrassment firsthand. So, they won't take drastic actions during the auction. When I take off my hat as a signal, that's your cue to act.""Understood."The private detective agreed, then turned and left, swiftly blending into the crowd who were looking for their seats.Melanie settled into her seat, and soon, the two men who had been following her took seats nearby.The auction began.Melanie did not participate in the earlier auction items. She kept her head dow

The man next to her intentionally held up his paddle in front of Melanie's face but kept his face away, and Melanie knew her guess was likely accurate.Fortunately, she was prepared.In this way, as others began bidding, each time Melanie raised her paddle, the man next to her followed suit. She discreetly held her breath, noticing the man paying even more attention to her reactions.Seizing the opportunity, she pretended to feel a bit dizzy, rubbing her temples as she got up and headed toward the exit.The man beside her had not expected her sudden departure. Hesitating for a moment, he followed her out. Melanie walked briskly in front, feigning a stagger.Reaching the last row of seats, suddenly, an arm extended from her left, blocking her way. She lost her balance and fell into the arms of the person in front of her.She raised her almond-shaped eyes, looking at the man's face in the dim light. "Jeffrey..."How did she encounter Jeffrey everywhere?In such a small-scale auct

Inside the van.As soon as Melanie was tossed into the vehicle, those inside promptly responded, shielding her. Subsequently, the two men who followed were also subdued by those in the van.How they had treated her earlier was now turned against them with ten times the force."Ms. Melanie, we have control of the people who were assisting them outside. This is their leader. You can ask him anything." The private detective informed Melanie.The man who had been trailing her had no idea what was happening and was securely bound."Why were you sent to abduct me?" Melanie asked after removing her hat and fixing her disheveled dress."We really don't know, Ms. Please spare us! We're just doing it for the money." The three thugs began pleading for mercy."Tell me who instructed you, and I might spare you. Otherwise, there will be no mercy." Melanie's voice turned stern."We genuinely don't know. It was Damien who contacted the buyer. We were just messengers." The thugs wailed, terrifi

"Alright."The private detective agreed and asked, "Are you still going to the hospital?""Yes."Melanie thought for a moment and said, "Since Lena is so eager to see me, I'll go meet her and put an end to her fantasies.""Okay, we'll be outside, ensuring nothing happens to you," the private detective assured.**Love City Hospital, Room 903.Melanie pushed the door open and saw Lena, with casts on her hands and feet, lying in bed looking quite miserable. Lena, who usually wore heavy makeup, now appeared frightened with her pale and unhealthy complexion."Melanie?"Surprised to see her enter, Lena muttered under breath, "This Damien!"They sent her over without any notice. Lena had not even had a chance to groom herself. She looked thoroughly unprepared.She was covered in injuries, while Melanie casually strolled in. Anyone unaware might think Melanie had come to mock her!Lena adjusted her hair, widening her eyes theatrically, "Looks like my people have been too kind to y

Melanie calmly sat in the private detective's car, and a cold, determined glint appeared in her almond-shaped eyes.Lena was not very bright. Someone always had to clear up her mess."Ms. Jones."The private detective's voice interrupted her thoughts. "Your people, are still following behind."Melanie raised her almond eyes in surprise, looking at the rearview mirror.Seeing Jeffrey's black Maybach steadily parked behind, she smiled helplessly. "Well, there's nothing more happening today. Thank you for your help. I'll take my leave now.""You are my young lady's best friend, no need for thanks," the private detective responded politely.Melanie walked towards the Maybach in the back, and the driver opened the door for her.She glanced at Jeffrey, casually opened the car's mini-fridge, took out a bottle of water, and took a few sips. The icy sensation helped her fully wake up."You walked unsteadily in the auction house. Did you get drugged?" Jeffrey asked."Yes," she replied

"President Morgan, what do you mean?"Melanie who had turned her back to Jeffrey, felt annoyed by the reprimand."Don't understand anything, do you? Do you think you've fulfilled your duties as a wife?" Jeffrey's voice lowered a few degrees, carrying a strong warning.Melanie took a deep breath, trying to stabilize her emotions, and retorted, "If you demand that I fulfill the duties of a wife, why don't you first inquire whether the duties of a husband are being fulfilled?" She was genuinely irritated, and after saying this, she slammed the door and left.However, just as she walked a short distance, she saw a housemaid with Dr. Noah sitting in the study, waiting."Dr. Noah? Why are you here?" Melanie asked with suspicion."I came to treat Mr. Morgan's injuries," Dr. Noah said as he smoothed his white beard.At this moment, the bathroom door opened, and Jeffrey, using a crutch, slowly walked over. The housemaid assisted him to sit down, allowing Dr. Noah to perform acupuncture a

Melanie nodded, leaving the box behind, she put on her coat and grabbed her bag before hastily heading out.The investigative team was there to look into the plagiarism of the proposal.They conducted their inquiry professionally, questioning each member of the project team, including Melanie. Almost everyone involved in the proposal discussion could recall the details effortlessly.During the lunch break, Melanie politely inquired, "I wonder if the experts have concluded this incident?"The members of the investigative team shook their heads.They explained to Melanie, "To be frank, we came to your company after completing the investigation at White Group. Before coming here, the chairman and a few judges who were present at that time briefed us on the basic situation. We have a general idea, but unexpectedly, collecting evidence has proven to be difficult."Implicitly, Melanie understood that the White Group had been meticulous this time, making it challenging for the investiga

Melanie, unaware of many details, had a satisfying lunch and returned to continue her diligent work as an employee.In the afternoon, the investigation team concluded their questioning and began packing up to leave.Before departing, they left with a firm attitude. "Ms. Jones, Jones Enterprise cannot produce any evidence to prove its innocence. Now, with the testimony from White Group and public opinion online pointing fingers at you, we have reason to believe that Jones Enterprise is finding it difficult to shake off the responsibility for the plagiarized proposal.""Dear experts, please give us another chance. Our new product line is ready. Calling a halt at this moment would have a tremendous impact on Jones Enterprise." Melanie and several leaders from the Perfume Division chased after the investigation team, doing their best to advocate for themselves."Now, saying anything won't help unless you present evidence!"The investigation team showed disdain, continuing to walk away

Pleasantly surprised, Melanie turned around to see the man she had been looking for. She never stopped saying his name in her head. He stood right behind her.At that moment, she stopped thinking completely.Without even hesitating, she ran toward him and dove into his arms."Ughh."Jeffrey groaned in pain. He did not dare to press against her stomach. Instead, he arched his back to hold her."Where the hell have you been? Do you have any idea how I…" She cried so much that she could not speak."Alright, alright. Good girl. Don't cry. I've come back."Jeffrey kept rubbing the back of her head. "Eagle was too neurotic. I've nearly gone mad from dealing with him. I finally got him to regain some of his sanity today… That's how I had the chance to find you…""How did you know where to find me?" Melanie asked."Today is the day of Nathan's trial. I know you'd definitely be in the courtroom," Jeffrey said confidently.Melanie finally calmed down a little. After letting go of him,

"We're not together…"Kenneth's facial expression changed as soon as he saw Melanie.Melanie noticed there was a hint of guilt in his eyes. This was an unsettling feeling for her. "Then where is he? What happened to you guys?"Noticing that she was shaking, Annie and Carson, who had accompanied her to court, rushed forward to assist her."Eagle had a prior arrangement with Nathan. Once Nathan and Leo's plan at the York family's residence was thwarted, Nathan would press a button. Eagle would then receive a code to detonate a bomb. He'd blow us all up," Kenneth explained."Jeffrey was the one who noticed Eagle wasn't in the right state of mind. That's why he informed me to leave with Mr. Oliver. He… Stayed behind to persuade Eagle…" He added."What happened then?" Melanie's voice was shaking."All I knew after that was that the hotel blew up. I waited for him to contact me but he never did. Mr. Oliver and I have been on the run from Nathan's shadowy pursuits. I only managed to sn
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 1082 I Have Evidence
Three days later, the trial was officially in session.Leo's attorney was practically defenseless because the York family's allegations of him poisoning Joseph had been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Leo was directly sentenced to life in prison.Nathan's attorney, on the other hand, was clever. They tried everything they could to deflect Nathan's allegations.After the presiding judge evaluated the case, he looked up. "Does the plaintiff have any more evidence that the defendant, Nathan, intentionally killed someone?"Hank sat silently at the plaintiff's table.They could only provide evidence of the time when Nathan had tried to murder Hank. However, they had no evidence of Nathan being involved in the explosion on the island this time.Hank looked at Melanie in the audience. She was also frowningThe presiding judge's implication was well understood. Without more evidence, Nathan would not receive a life sentence…"The plaintiff simply does not have sufficient evidence to

Carson sighed. It was time to explain everything to Hank…Although Carson had spent a lot of time in Hank's hospital as Professor Marshall, and he would also tend to their men's wounds, as well as discuss a variety of topics with Hank, they had never acknowledged their relationship…Besides, Carson knew Hank hated him.Hank hated him for being heartless to his grandmother back then. That was why Hank changed his last name to Castillo instead of Yule…"Let's take Melanie back to rest. I'll explain the rest to you myself," Carson said. Hank had already figured out half of it."Grandpa, I'm not going back. I'll wait for the news here," Melanie said firmly.There was no sign of Jeffrey's corpse yet. She would wait until the rescue team confirmed that they could not find any corpse.She wanted a clear answer."Okay. I'll get the trailer ready for you. You can lie down inside. You can't afford to hurt your body anymore than you already have. I checked your pulse earlier. It's not loo

Buzz!Melanie's vision turned black. She began falling backward."Melanie! Melanie!"Carson propped her up and called the doctor over.However, Melanie opened her eyes after a few seconds and tried to stand up. "I'm fine… Grandpa, take me there… I want to go to the scene of the explosion…""You're in no state…""I'm fine. I can hold up," Melanie promised."If you don't let me go and see it with my own eyes, I'll be even more paranoid," she added.Carson knew his granddaughter too well. He sighed and frowned before requesting for a ride. He met up with Hank. The two of them accompanied Melanie to look for Jeffrey.Jeffrey, Kenneth, Mr. Oliver, and Eagle waited at the drop-off point near the York family's residence. Nathan had instructed them to not do anything rash.Mr. Oliver and Eagle were still useful to Nathan.Once Nathan acquired Joseph's signature, he would meet up with them.However, the small hotel they were waiting at was already in ruins. There was smoke everywher

'Chief… Frankie?'Leo turned around in surprise. Nathan did the same. They saw Chief Frankie and several Interpol agents walking out from behind a screen in Joseph's room.Melanie was a part of that group!"Aren't you… dead?" Leo pointed at Melanie in shock."Thanks to you, I'll live a long life." Melanie sneered.Chief Frankie waved his hand. The police behind him charged forward to put handcuffs on Leo and Nathan. Leo narrowed his eyes and quickly pressed a button on the remote in his hand."We'll all die together!" He shouted.However, no matter how hard he pressed, nothing happened in the room."What's going on here… Eagle?" Leo's voice was trembling.His hands were cuffed, and the remote control was confiscated by the police."Leo, you are suspected of poisoning Master York and attempting to murder Melanie and others on the island. We are arresting you for premeditated murder!" Chief Frankie uttered calmly."No… No…" Leo struggled but to no avail. He had no idea what wa

At the same time, Melanie and Carson were on a plane with Professor Turner. They soon arrived at Medonia.Carson contacted Hank ahead of time and asked him to pick them up with his men.After the exhausting journey, Melanie's face was pale. She seemed to be in very poor condition. "I've already contacted the maternity hospital for you. You can go there and wait for your delivery. Leave the rest to me.""No…"Melanie shook her head. "I have to go back."Jeffrey was still in Nathan's hands. She would not be able to wait peacefully if she went to the hospital.Carson knew his granddaughter well enough. "Let her go. Professor Turner and I will be with here. We'll be ready for anything."Carson was still disguised as Maximilian. Hank did not know he was Carson. Hank nodded in agreement.“Mr. Castillo, there's something I need to trouble you with.” Melanie said."I heard from Professor Marshall that you're on good terms with the chief of Medonia's Interpol. Can I trouble him to be a
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 1077 Petty Romantic Affairs
"Wait a minute! Isn't Jefford actually Jeffrey?" Leo asked while running after Nathan.Nathan ignored him and continued to walk forward.Leo did not give up and followed Nathan closely. "Who exactly is Jeffrey to you?""Are you being unreasonable right now? Why are you still so unsure at this point?" Nathan glanced at Leo contemptuously."I'm dealing with serious business. Don't get in my way with your petty romantic affairs!"After saying that, he glared at Leo and exited the cabin.Leo felt chills in his heart, but he could not make Nathan stay…-Jeffrey was tied up on the deck all this time. His body was freezing, and his lips were turning purple from the cold."Hey, President Morgan, fancy seeing you like this!" Nathan laughed grimly when he saw the miserable state Jeffrey was in."Thanks to you, I've been more miserable than this on many occasions. This is nothing." Jeffrey made it sound like a walk in the park."Hehe." Nathan sneered."I know. You've had strong willp

Lynette seemed stunned. She could not help but stand up with the help of the railing on the speedboat. Her eyes turned red as looked at the island burning in the distance. There was a look of disbelief on her face…If they had not evacuated five minutes ago…By now…She would not have even been able to breathe and think…The explosion sent shockwaves across the ocean's surface. The ride became even more bumpy. With sea water splashing against them, they had all become wet."Are you alright?" Carson protected Melanie. He was worried she would not be able to take it.Her stomach did feel awful, but she braced herself and tried not to tense up. Her emotions would affect her baby.When Lynette heard the voices behind her, she turned around to look at Melanie. Her gaze had become much softer than before. "You're not going to give birth on the boat, are you? I'm a woman, but I don't know how to be a midwife!""I won't give birth now. There are still things left to do," Melanie said.
