“Miss Melanie, please hear me out…”

The department head was afraid that Melanie might get angry, and explained everything in a hurry.

“We had no choice. We didn’t invite them in the first place…but this afternoon, Daniel Jones brought a bunch of men and caused a scene at our office. He said he had a part to play in Jones Enterprise since its establishment. Although he was no longer part of the enterprise right now, he insisted on being at the anniversary celebration.

“There were many people crowding around, including reporters. We had no choice but to agree to his request to avoid any negative press coverage…”

“I got it,” Melanie said with a nod.

The moment Daniel and his family set their minds on causing trouble, the outcome would be the same even if Melanie tried to stop them from attending. She decided to just wait and see what happens.

Melanie assured the department head, “Don’t worry, there’s no need to be so tense. Just send someone to keep an eye on that family.”

    That evening, Jones Enterprise’s anniversary celebration was held in its banquet hall. Invited guests started streaming in two hours ahead of the start time.Annie and William returned to the country in advance to help Melanie with the event. When they saw Gabriel arriving, Annie asked in surprise, “Mr. Lindsey, why are you here today?”“Today’s occasion is so important to Melanie, of course I have to come,” Gabriel said sincerely. Annie pursed her lips. After much hesitation, she said, “You’re right, it’s a very important occasion for Jones Enterprise and Melanie herself. See how romantic the event decoration is… Jefford…will be proposing to Melanie during the banquet later…”“I know…” Gabriel said with a nod.He had long heard about it. That was why he said that today’s occasion was very important to Melanie. He wanted to witness it for himself.Annie saw the sincerity in Gabriel’s eyes, and her heart ached for him. She couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Lindsey, you might not be f

    Melanie heard the mockery in her voice and turned to see Lena, whom she hadn’t met for a while. Lena’s parents were standing right behind her, as if they were her bodyguards.“Relatives?” Melanie sneered.She couldn’t even be bothered to take another glance at Lena. Instead, she turned to the reporters’ camera. “How do all of you understand the term relatives? She never once appeared when either I or Jones Enterprise met with trouble. Conversely, she insists on being part of the picture when Jones Enterprise is at the peak of its glory. People like this can hardly be considered family!” she said.“Well said, Miss Melanie!”Some of the media partners remembered what Lena had been guilty of before, and eagerly stood on Melanie’s side.Just then, Annie squeezed through the crowd and grabbed Melanie’s hand.“Lena Jones! Are you trying to get yourself on the headlines once more, now that news of your scandal have just been suppressed? Or shall I look back on your glorious achievemen

    Five minutes ago, at a junction one kilometer away from the banquet hall, Jeffrey’s car was trapped in between three cars. He found himself stuck in the corner of a street.A few masked men rushed down from the three cars to his car, and knocked on the window. “Mr. Yancey, please come with us!”“The likes of you, trying to take me away?” Jeffrey said in disdain, as he glanced into the rearview mirror.“There are more of us coming,” said the masked man standing outside his window.Jeffrey could see a few more cars in the distance, parked discreetly along the roadside and blocking off all possible exits on the road.“You can forget about taking me away if I’m not willing!” Jeffrey said confidently.The masked men chuckled.“We know that. If you really want to pit yourself against us, we are ready to perish with you. But… I trust you won’t choose that, Mr. Yancey.”“Oh?” Jeffrey looked up at the masked man, who spoke confidently.He pulled out his phone from his pocket, and showed

    “Call him one more time,” Annie said to Melanie. “He’s supposed to come and propose to you. There’s no reason for him to ignore your call!”Melanie suppressed the uneasiness rising in her chest, and dialed Jefford’s number again. This time round, she heard the automated voice saying that the number she just dialed was unable to respond.The anniversary celebration was in full swing now, and it was held in the most lively district in Harbor City. Even if Jefford hadn’t arrived, he would at least be nearby and certainly within signal range.If he were out of signal range, he probably wouldn’t be able to make it to the anniversary celebration in time.Her eyes dimmed.Annie saw the change in her eyes, and comforted her, “It’s fine. Perhaps he’s driving down a street where the signal is poor? And he’s always trying to be secretive and mysterious. Perhaps he might walk in and propose to you at the very last moment.”Annie went on, “I found out that staff members have all the engagemen

    Everyone realized that something was wrong, and Melanie herself sensed the temperature in the air dipping.If this were truly a surprise, it was a huge one indeed. So much so, it had become frightening!Jefford even arranged for international media partners to live-stream the event to hype up the engagement ceremony, and make sure that every single shareholder in Yancey Group didn’t miss the news.International media partners, invited guests, friends, and relatives of the Jones family were in shock.Proposal segment? Did the groom flee the scene?At that moment, the crowd burst into an excited flurry of murmurs.Lena’s brow arched. Hah! Melanie was now as embarrassed as she was proud just now!Her mother Lily jabbed her back, and said, “Hurry up! Add fuel to the fire that your good sister started!”“Yes!” Lena received her mother’s hint. She hurriedly leaned into the crowd, focusing on the area where reporters were nearby. She pretended to be a passer-by, and said, “Hey, do y

    In order to get on with the engagement segment, the groom-to-be leapt on stage instead of walking up the stairs on either side of the stage and stood right next to Melanie.Seeing Melanie’s dazed face, he stepped forward and said sincerely, “I’m sorry I came so late. I promise this won’t ever happen again.”He said it softly and without a microphone, but his voice echoed through the silent banquet and everyone could clearly hear what he said. His voice was deep, affectionate and emotional, pure and untainted.Melanie remained in a daze. He leaned in closer to her and said with a smile, “What’s the matter? Are you still shocked? Here, give me a hug…”With that, he pulled Melanie in his arms and hugged her gently, whispering into her ear, “If I don’t come onstage, you won’t be able to give everyone else a satisfactory explanation. Just give me this chance to put on this show with you.”Gabriel’s voice rang in Melanie’s ears.Tears fell down her cheeks, and landed on his suit.He d

    The gift inside the brocade box wasn't just any jewelry, but an exquisitely polished, top-quality emerald necklace with gold embellishments. Seeing this necklace, Melanie was somewhat bewildered. Hadn’t this been in Ermin's room? After Jefford gave it to Ermin, she had stored it in Ermin's bedside cabinet the same day... She blinked, carefully examining it, and noticed that this emerald seemed newer. It was likely that this necklace was an imitation of the one given to Ermin... Why did Jefford give her this? What did it mean? Even Gabriel was puzzled. At this moment, laughter erupted from the audience. The host couldn't resist teasing, "Mr. Frost, you are impatient... to give Miss Melanie a necklace right after your engagement? It seems that not long from now, everyone should prepare to attend your and Melanie's wedding!" Upon hearing this, Gabriel tensed up. He suddenly remembered Annie's worries before the anniversary celebration. At that time, Annie expressed c

    "Melanie!" Suddenly, Damon's voice came from behind. Melanie and Annie turned around to see Damon and Mr. Lincoln walking over together. Mr. Lincoln said, "Miss, if we had known that your fiance was Mr. Frost from the Frost family, you wouldn’t have had to hide it from us. We have long heard that he has feelings for you." "Yes, Mr. Frost is a good man. You have good taste!" Damon also patted Melanie's shoulder. "Cough, cough, cough." Melanie almost couldn't stand being patted. "What's wrong?" Damon hurriedly asked. "Mr. Jones, Melanie hasn't been feeling well lately. She might have been too busy these past few days..." Annie quickly made up an excuse to help Melanie. "Yeah, she's been too busy. Look how thin she's become." Damon sighed and said with concern, "Then we'll go to Mr. Frost first. Take care of her, Annie." After speaking, Damon and Mr. Lincoln walked away together. Melanie took a deep breath, feeling a bit suffocated, but she didn't have an urge to c

    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

    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.

    '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.

    "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.
