”You mean Lincoln?” Eliza immediately knew who Melanie had in mind. Melanie nodded with a smile. “Who else?” “I’ve been away for too long. Our family would’ve been ruined if it weren’t for Lincoln.” Eliza sighed before adding, “Lincoln was your late father’s most trusted aide, so I have no objections.” “I’ll contact Mr. Lincoln then.” Melanie nodded. “Alright now, your mother needs rest, so please go back,” Professor Turner said to Melanie and Jeffrey. Feeling reluctant, Melanie tugged on her mother’s hand before getting up with a smile. However, perhaps she had been sitting down for too long, the left side of her stomach cramped, causing her to bend forward and wince. “What’s wrong?” Eliza asked, feeling worried. “I’m fine… It’s just that my legs are numb,” Melanie lied with a smile. Jeffrey grabbed her arm from behind, gesturing for her to hold onto him for support. He was able to walk steadily even if she put her entire weight on him. Eliza turned to Professor

”That is possible. Otherwise, Melanie wouldn’t think to look for such an old item in Harbor City. She refused to let the other servants search for it and wanted it to be delivered in person.” “Haha!” Nathan laughed. “Do you know what to do?” “Of course I do.” Having said that, the caller hung up. Nathan put his phone down with a ferocious glint in his eyes. “Mr. Quinn, has Melanie’s mother woken up?” his subordinate asked. Nathan answered confidently, “So what if she has? The key here is the item they’re searching for. Don’t worry, the people in Harbor City won’t let them have it! And here I was wondering why Melanie decided to go to Delfino in person to choose the spices. So it was just a cover-up!” “What should we do then, Mr. Quinn?” “Since they love being reunited, I’ll make sure that all three generations of their family are reunited properly!” Nathan let out a wild laugh. “Mr. Quinn!” Just then, another subordinate hurried into the room to report, “We just che
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 967 A Strange Constitution
The diffuser Gabriel had made for her seemed exceptionally small in Jefford’s large hand. Melanie sighed. How did this man manage to influence her so easily? However, she found it baffling as well. The calming diffuser didn’t aid in her improving her sleep, but Jefford did… “You didn’t… hypnotize me without my knowledge whenever we slept together, did you?” Melanie scrutinized him as she thought of the possibility. “Hah.” Jeffrey shook his head in defeat. “You have quite the imagination! But what did you just say? Did you just say that I had been sleeping with you?” Melanie was dumbstruck upon realizing her mistake. She hastily attempted to change the subject. “Give me back my diffuser and leave!” “I’m not leaving. I’m sleeping with you here tonight. You’re too tired. I don’t think you can hold out much longer if you don’t get proper rest tonight,” Jeffrey said firmly. Melanie didn’t feel like arguing with him about the proper wording to use. She wanted to get some qu

”I was… bored after going to the restroom, so I walked around…” Jeffrey lied. “I understand now.” Melanie smirked. “It must’ve bored Master Jefford to stay here and keep me company, so you stayed out as long as you could, didn’t you?” “No, that’s not it…” Jeffrey had a feeling that the tiny favor he had so painstakingly gained had gone down the drain. “It’s late. You should go back to bed. I won’t leave this time, I promise.” “Give me back my diffuser,” Melanie said with an outstretched hand. “I won’t leave this time.” Jeffrey wanted to dig out his heart to prove it. “You will leave now and return me my diffuser!” Melanie had no patience left as she spoke without retracting her hand. After a moment’s hesitation, Jeffrey gave up. He took the diffuser from the bathroom and returned it to her before dejectedly being chased out of the room. Before he closed the door, he could see Melanie massaging her waist. The sight distressed him and he kept blaming himself. He stood

”It’s about Melanie’s identity.” Eliza got straight to the point. “I’m sure you’ve already initiated an investigation since you have the power to.” “But I’d still like to hear it from you,” Joseph said without sounding surprised. Eliza was right. Joseph’s investigation was almost complete, but he didn’t have conclusive evidence. “Back then, my mother-in-law brought Melanie’s father to Harbor City and lived concealing their identities. She cut off all contact between my husband and the York family. She even concealed the fact that Melanie was born with a heart defect and forbade her from making fragrances or getting involved in the family business. She did all of this to conceal her true identity. Melanie is actually… your granddaughter.” Eliza felt so much better after telling the truth. With this, she won’t have to regret carrying the secret to her grave should anything happen to her… “Back then… cough cough…” Joseph started coughing heavily mid-sentence. There was a c
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 970 He’s Heartbroken
”What?” Melanie suddenly felt dizzy with worry. She took a step back to lean against the wall and asked after quickly collecting herself, “How could this be? Did you search the osmanthus tree? The one in the southeast corner?” “I did. I’ll give you a video call!” Mr. Lincoln hung up and started a video call. The video showed the Jones’ garden with the soil beneath the osmanthus tree completely dug up. That was all there was. “Miss Melanie, I thought you might have misremembered so I had the soil around the remaining two trees dug up as well, but look. There’s nothing.” Mr. Lincoln moved the camera around to show her the state of the garden. The soil around the trees in the garden had been completely turned over... Yet, why wasn’t it there? Melanie felt lightheaded. She took a few deep but weak breaths before saying, “I got it, Mr. Lincoln. You can go back now. Let me think about this.” “Alright. Think whether you remembered the place correctly,” Mr. Lincoln said bef
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 971 Couldn't Hide It
"Why isn't it possible?" Jeffrey asked."As you've seen, I trust Mr. Lincoln. Mom trusts him more than I do. All these years, he's been working for my father without a word of complaint. Apart from my parents, he's the greatest contributor to Jones Enterprise. Why would I suspect Mr. Lincoln of doing anything?" Melanie asked.Jeffrey raised his eyebrows. "He worked very hard when your father was still around, but he was in no hurry to gain some benefits after your father passed away either. Instead, he's been fully supportive of your mother and consequently you as well. Don't you find that odd?"Seeing he was getting through to Melanie, Jeffrey continued to speak. "Everybody is selfish to some degree. Based on how well you knew him, do you think he had any ulterior motives?"Melanie thought hard before sharking her head.Mr. Lincoln was never married, had no children, and remained single all his life. It seemed… He was not interested in anything… However, he had worked in Melanie'

Eliza knew her daughter well.Even if Melanie had not spoken, she could tell something was amiss. She stopped hoping. "Did something happen?""Mom, I hope you're ready to hear this," Melanie said."Go ahead." Eliza nodded calmly.Melanie walked closer and picked up Eliza's hand. "Mr. Lincoln went there, but he couldn't find anything under the tree.""How is that possible?" Eliza frowned."Mom, could you have mistaken it for somewhere else? Or does anyone else know about this?" Melanie asked frankly.Eliza's frown intensified. She tried to recall while shaking her head. "Apart from your father and I, nobody else knows…""Just as I thought." Melanie looked downward."Well… What do you think of Mr. Lincoln?" Melanie asked when she looked up again."Are you suspicious of Lincoln?" Eliza asked.She nodded. "To be honest, this wouldn't be the first time…"Melanie explained how when Eliza had gotten into the car accident, Mr. Lincoln came to see her with a bunch of incomplete evid

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
I Became His Sweetheart Chapter 1076 What's So Good About Men?
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.
