Melanie subconsciously reached out and touched her lower abdomen.

She was hesitating because she was afraid of harming the child, and she was also afraid of messing up such an important occasion for Derrick.

The fact that Derrick was willing to showcase the dress he designed for his deceased daughter indicated that he attached great importance to this show and intended to overshadow Linda in their battle.

"My team has discussed this for a long time and thinks this is the best solution. Melanie, are you willing to help me?" Derrick earnestly asked over the phone.

Melanie had no way to refuse and could only agree. "Yes. I'm willing to help you, but I'm afraid I won't do well..."

"With my guidance, you cannot fail! Besides, you're so outstanding!" Derrick sounded excited. He hurriedly said, "I know it’s sudden, but if you're available, can you come for a fitting and practice walking the runway tomorrow?"

"Okay. I will come early."

Melanie sighed inwardly. She had to go for t

    Since Derrick had already brought out his trump card, Melanie knew how much effort he had put into this show. With a head-on confrontation, Linda wasn’t sure that she would win. Moreover, her current focus was not on her position in the fashion industry. As long as she successfully inherited Yancey Group, she wasn’t worried about not getting any resources. She could take this opportunity to test Jefford. She wanted to see if Melanie still had any lingering feelings for him, and also if Jefford had regained his memory! "But Mr. Jefford might not agree to go..." The subordinate expressed his concern. "The shareholders have been quite critical of the image of Yancey Group recently. The board has hinted multiple times that it's my and Jefford’s fault for not maintaining our familial relationships in public. Just tell Jefford that it’s a good opportunity to fix it. As long as he shows up at my show, people won't think we're fighting anymore," Linda instructed confidently. "Yes!" T

    Seeing Melanie hesitate, Derrick dismissed the assistants in the studio before asking her, "Are you... pregnant?" "Probably." Melanie nodded, admitting it openly. "Is it Mr. Jefford’s?" Derrick asked curiously. Melanie bit her lip and nodded. Derrick laughed. "Last time after you brought him to meet Mr. Sheppard, Mr. Sheppard told me that you and Mr. Jefford are actually a couple. It’s just that no one knows! Now that you're expecting a child, I don't find it surprising!" Melanie blushed slightly and smiled. "Instead, I think it's great! You being with Mr. Jefford definitely won't do any favors for Linda!" Derrick laughed heartily, feeling quite pleased with himself. "So, the reason I hesitated before was also because I was worried I couldn't fit into your dress..." Melanie explained. Derrick tutted and waved his hand, "You could have just said so. The heels that go with this dress are low, but if you're still worried about stability, I can switch them to boots or flats

    After a busy day at the fashion show venue, Melanie returned to the research base. It was already late in the evening by then. The pharmacy near the commercial street was closed again, and she couldn't help but furrow her brow. The matter of whether she was pregnant or not had been hanging over her head. It made her feel unsettled, especially after seeing Jefford in the crowd at Linda's rehearsal today. She would most likely see him again tomorrow during the official show. If she could confirm the pregnancy, tomorrow might be the right time to tell him. She could have directly tested at the research base, but Melanie didn't want it to become common knowledge. She gave up and decided to wait until after tomorrow's show. To ensure she was in the best condition for tomorrow, Melanie went to bed. Before sleeping, she took a shower and even used one of Annie's luxurious face masks. The next morning, she woke up glowing. "Darling, your skin has been looking good lately! It’

    "Did you practice martial arts when you were young?" Melanie asked Jefford. She had been wanting to ask this for a long time. "Which wealthy heir hasn't?" Jefford walked in with a bag, closed the window, and went to check if the door was locked. "Although that's true, the other heirs only practice for self-defense, but I think you could make a living with your skills," Melanie teased, praising him. "That's because I have talent." Jefford sat down next to her, smirking proudly. "Alright!" Melanie laughed along. "I shouldn't have given you the chance to be proud. Have you eaten?" "Yes. I even ordered soup for you." Jeffrey opened the bag, revealing a container of chicken soup. "How did you know I was here and eating?" she asked curiously while indulging in the soup. "I've been keeping an eye on you," Jefford replied. Melanie was even more surprised. "But I haven't seen you all day. Have you been here for a while?" "That means you weren't paying attention. You were very

    Jeffrey nodded slowly, affirming Melanie's thoughts. "Of course, we'll walk the runway together." "Is Linda trying to test us using this?" Melanie pondered for a moment, still skeptical. "What conclusion can she possibly get? Even if our relationship isn't good, we won't tear each other apart on the runway. We're mature adults. We can pretend if necessary." Jeffrey caressed her smooth belly, feeling inexplicably addicted. He unconsciously continued to gently rub it. "So I came to remind you. I don't know what Linda might do behind the scenes to test our relationship, but we just need to remember one thing. In the current stage of our relationship, I'm the one groveling to you while you are disdainful of me. You won’t even acknowledge me, so I'm a bit resentful. As long as we stick to this setup, she won't see through it." "Okay, I'll remember that." Melanie couldn't hold back her chuckle. "You really know how to grovel. You play the part so naturally." After saying that, she coul

    Melanie quickly got up and walked to the bedside, deliberately blocking Jeffrey’s way out with her body. She was silently warning Jeffrey not to come out from under the bed! Gabriel thought it was weird that Melanie chose to stand there, but he still opened the thermos for her and advised, "Drink it while it's hot. It’s more effective this way." "I'll drink it in a bit," Melanie said. She started to glance toward the door. Gabriel, of course, understood that she was seeing him out. Concealing how awkward he felt, he stood up and said, "Then you rest. I'll leave now. See you tonight." "See you tonight." Melanie couldn't wait to walk over and open the door for him, send Gabriel off, and then lock the door in an instant. When Melanie turned back around, Jefford was already sitting on the bed. He stared at her unblinkingly, demanding an explanation. "What kind of medicine have you been trying to buy over the past two days?" he asked. "Well... there was one time when Gabri

    "Of course not," Melanie quickly responded with certainty. "Then why?" Jeffrey remained suspicious. "Because... my stomach hurts a little..." She had run out of excuses. "Then why not drink the honey?" Jeffrey pressed on. "It has angelica in it, and I don't like the taste of angelica." She fabricated yet another excuse. "Why are you acting like a child? Medicine isn’t supposed to taste good; it just needs to cure the illness." Jeffrey relaxed his expression and prepared to bring her the honey. "Besides, this isn't even medicine. It'll make you feel better." "No..." Melanie grabbed his wrist, stopping him, and said coyly, "I really don't want to drink it..." Jeffrey was rendered speechless. She rarely behaved this way. Even before, when he was still Jefford, she had only acted coyly a handful of times. Jeffrey turned to look at her clear eyes and her adorable face, and his Adam's apple bobbed. Damn it! She had walked right into his trap again. Jeffrey strode toward h

    "Melanie, can we talk privately?" Wenona, along with her assistant, walked toward a less crowded area backstage. Melanie hesitated but followed. "Surprised?" Wenona turned to face Melanie. Standing at 5'9", Wenona was tall. Now that she was wearing heels, she was a head taller than Melanie. Despite Wenona’s strong presence, her smug expression was nauseating and unrefined. "Did you ever think, Melanie, that one day I could be the finale guest?" "Why not? I remember your skills," Melanie replied honestly. Mentioning the past seemed to agitate Wenona even more. "Really? You knew how good I was back then? Then why do I remember being benched all the time?" "Seems like you were too busy playing on your phone during meetings." Melanie remained confident and spoke calmly. "Back then, I emphasized to everyone that the company's resources were limited. Each person would be allocated resources according to their level, and then based on each person’s performance, their level w

    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. Can I trouble him to be a

    "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.
