After speaking, Melanie's eyes narrowed slightly. Her mind made up, she turned to walk toward the closet where Anthony had just hidden. Jeffrey's bodyguard naturally knew that someone had been here just now, so he followed Melanie closely to protect her. However, after Melanie searched around the closet, she found no sign of anyone hiding there. The window in the closet was narrow, and there were no traces of it being opened. Yet, Anthony had clearly hidden here just now, so how could there be no one? It could only mean that there was a secret passage here. She relaxed her wrinkled brows and went out. She then picked up a delicate bottle of perfume and said, "Wait for me. I'll go with you to deliver the medicine to Mr. Hardy." "Yes." The bodyguard naturally obeyed her. Melanie changed into another outfit and touched up her makeup. She poured the contents of the small perfume bottle into the sink, filled it with water, and then held it in her hand. Then, she followed J
Melanie downed a glass of alcohol without hesitation. "Good! You’re bold!" Anthony, on the side, squinted his eyes and smirked, waving his hand at the girls. In response, the girl who had been downing alcohol just now stood in front of Melanie, and the other girls began to set up drinks on the table, preparing for a showdown between the two. One of the girls handed Melanie a glass of liquor. Melanie's eyes flickered for a moment, but she didn't take it. It was a cocktail. She could smell its fruity aroma. It was rum, and without a doubt, it was Bacardi rum, the one she was most allergic to! "What's wrong? Are you afraid?" The girl offering the drink sneered at Melanie. Melanie was thinking about finding an excuse to replace all the cocktails set up behind her, when "Mr. Hardy" on the sofa said, "Cocktails are so beautiful, so how can they be used for drinking contests? Keep it simple. I want beauties, not drunkards..." Melanie took the opportunity to continue, "Mr.
Although she didn't want to, there were so many people watching her. Melanie knew that her current identity was that of a girl enticing Greg, so she could only smile as charmingly as possible. Then, she took a step back and lightly sat on Jefford’s lap, giving him a gentle peck on the cheek. Instantly, two red marks were left on Jefford's face... "Run along now." Jeffrey smiled indulgently. Melanie smiled, got up, and walked toward the private room's exit. As she walked, she cursed in her heart! This Jefford! Just wait until she left this place! The next time she saw him, she would definitely find an opportunity to teach him a lesson as revenge for this kiss! - Melanie lingered in the restroom for a while, but eventually had to return to the private room. Although she wasn't sure if Jefford would still take advantage of her, Nathan could come at any moment, so she had to stay with Jeffrey or she might miss the opportunity to act. On the way back, when she pass
The man's body was scorching hot as it pressed tightly against Melanie, whose clothes were thin. Only then did she realize why his face was flushed red and why he was sweating profusely. It was probably because someone spiked the alcohol in the private room just now! "No." Melanie pushed her elbows back and struggled in his embrace. But Jefford’s embrace seemed to tighten like magic as she struggled more. "They gave me some aphrodisiac... Melanie... I really want you..." "You need to calm down! Hold on!" Melanie bit her lip, feeling a bit flustered. She never expected Jeffrey to be manipulated by someone! She quickly reminded herself to calm down and tried to speak in a formal tone, "We still have important matters to attend to, and time is of the essence. I believe in your willpower; you can definitely resist it!" "Uh!" The man behind her paused at her words and loosened his grip. Melanie had been struggling, so she fell onto the sheepskin rug beside the sofa hard.
Jeffrey snatched the perfume from Melanie's hand, straightened his shirt, and walked toward the door. After hearing the report from his subordinate, Jeffrey turned to Melanie and said, "You go with him!" "Is Nathan here?" Melanie asked as she approached. "Almost." Jeffrey nodded. Without hesitation, Melanie threw away the baseball bat in her hand and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she saw Jefford taking a mask from another subordinate and putting it on his face. Then, he mounted a dagger at his waist. "What about you? Where are you going?" she asked, puzzled. "I will make anyone who dares to touch my woman pay!" Jeffrey's eyes flashed with determination behind the mask as he spoke to her. His woman? Did he mean... her? Melanie was puzzled, but she didn't have time to dwell on it. She leaned close to Jefford’s ear and whispered, "There's a secret passage in the closet. That's how Anthony came into the room." She wanted to give him a way out. "I got it. With me
When they were rescuing Hank from the club, Melanie noticed an opened sewage cover near the club's exit. It wasn't empty inside; she had vaguely seen a staircase! So, she speculated that it should be an exit for a secret passage. Furthermore, the bedroom she and Jeffrey were in had a secret passage in the closet. This club's underground probably had numerous secret passages. Once there was gunfire above, hiding in the secret passage would be safe. She wanted to go back and find Jefford through the secret passage. Besides, she had told Jefford that there was a secret passage in the closet in the bedroom. Perhaps Jeffrey was hiding in the secret passage, waiting for someone to pick him up. At this thought, Melanie hastened her steps without hesitation. With one of Jefford’s bodyguards with her, Melanie found the sewage entrance outside the club. Inside was indeed a narrow staircase leading to a secret passage! "Is this the southeast corner of the club?" Melanie asked. "Ye
When Melanie woke up again, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her head, but the pain felt distant and vague. It didn’t seem real. She numbly surveyed her surroundings and found that the room she was in was not large, and both her hands and feet were handcuffed to the bed. So, the person who opened the door in the secret passage was an enemy. When someone opened the door, she was so anxious that she fainted and fell straight down the stairs of the secret passage, injuring the back of her head... It was then that she realized why she didn't feel much pain; it was because her heart was numb. "Awake, my old friend?" Suddenly, a malicious voice could be heard. Melanie turned her head slightly and saw Nathan walking in from the door. It was Nathan again! So, the one who engaged in a gunfight with Jefford and threw the bomb must be Nathan's men! Melanie looked at him coldly, not saying a word. "I didn’t expect to see you here." Nathan smirked as he approached. He pulled
"Since you don’t intend to see me, why don't I join in the fun, Mr. Wilson?" Suddenly, Nathan's voice came from outside the door. "Sir, he said he has important things to tell you..." Anthony's subordinate, who had failed to stop Nathan, explained. Anthony waved his hand, indicating it was fine. Nathan walked in casually. "What do you want to say?" Anthony looked at Nathan, his gaze suspicious and uncertain. Those who engaged in big business like them valued integrity the most. They had agreed to meet tomorrow, but Nathan came early with his men and infiltrated the club. So, Anthony was wary of Nathan, suspecting that the gunfight was related to him. It was just that Anthony’s subordinates hadn't found any evidence yet. "Mr. Wilson, I know you still don't trust me, but I'm here to tell you the truth." Nathan's subordinate brought him a chair and he sat directly across from Anthony's bed, where he could see Melanie. Seeing Nathan staring at Melanie with an expression of en
