Melanie felt her heart stop.

Jeffrey had flirted with her in public.

The people around them did not hear Jeffrey's comment, thinking he was threatening Melanie because she lowered her head after just one sentence.

Jeffrey's lips curved into an imperceptible smile, then he turned to look at the staff present. "What's going on here?"

"President Morgan, it's like this. I feel that the advertising proposal isn't good enough, so I... just offered a small suggestion," Vivian spoke tactfully in front of Jeffrey, maintaining a good sense of propriety.

Jeffrey stared coldly at her. "Who are you?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Did President Morgan not recognize Vivian?

Then, what about the boasts she had made earlier about being highly regarded by the Morgan Group and being Jeffrey's rumored girlfriend? Something was not right here…

Vivian endured her discomfort, pretending not to hear the snickering around her. She forced a smile and then attempted to introduce herself. "P

    “Melanie, here we are again.”Grant was the first to speak.Grace followed with a sneer. "Yeah, here we are again. It seems fate has brought us together."Melanie's lips moved slightly. "Whether it's fate or not, you know better than I do."The filming director and scriptwriter in the car were coordinating the recording process. Melanie engaged with the staff to discuss the details. Grant wanted to interrupt but could not find the opportunity, and Grace, on the other side, kept making faces, but Melanie chose to ignore her."Miss Melanie, originally, you were scheduled to be the female guide for this trip to Azure City. However, Lady Grace was added later, so the explanation portion for cultural and scenic spots may need to be divided between the two of you.""We have already prepared the script, rest assured. You can prioritize selecting popular attractions when the time comes."Melanie nodded with indifference.Whether it was a priority or not, she did not care. The city prom

    "That person... looks a lot like Stephen, but it doesn’t seem to be him either. He has a much more noble demeanor." Grace’s eyes sparkled.The butler looked in the direction Grace was staring and said in surprise, "I didn't expect Jeffrey to come too.""You mean he’s the head of the Morgan family?"Grace's eyes brightened even more. "Didn't they say he was disabled?""It is said that he has been cured recently. At the international financial forum a few days ago, he has shown himself to be healthy," the butler said.Grace pursed her lips and smiled slyly. "Dad has always wanted me to get close to the Fowler or the Morgan family, but Stephen is a playboy, and Grant is a coward. Neither of them is worthy of me. Jeffrey, on the other hand, looks pretty good...""Jeffrey has the ability and ambition, miss. He might not be easy for someone as innocent as you to handle," the butler kindly reminded.Grace raised an eyebrow and widened her eyes in dissatisfaction. "Ever since I was a ch

    "Go!""Come on!"The onlookers began to cheer and shout.Grace, pretending to be fragile, lay on Jeffrey's back. As soon as he started running, she began to exclaim, "President Morgan, slow down. I'm afraid..."Indeed, she knew who he was, indicating that the duke’s family was very well-informed.Jeffrey's face darkened. He felt so foolish carrying this annoying woman to take embroidered balls. He couldn't fathom why he had made such an impulsive and stupid decision just moments ago.What a waste of his time!At the thought of this, they had already arrived at where the baskets of embroidered calls were. Grace’s sharp voice continued to ring in his ears. "President Morgan, you're amazing! We're so fast!""Even lower, President Morgan. If you go down lower, I'll be able to grab the ball!"Jeffrey gritted his teeth, feeling irritated by the woman's constant screams. He suddenly loosened his grip, and she tumbled into the basket in front of them.A wave of gasps echoed around th

    Jeffrey glared at Grant with dark eyes. He was carrying his own wife! It was none of Grant’s business!However, Grant was not afraid of his threat at all and continued to show concern for Melanie. "I just so happen to have brought an ointment for bruises. I will give it to you later.""Thank you. I'm fine." Melanie smiled lightly.Jeffrey's face was grim. Grant, this brat, actually dared to flirt with his wife in front of him, and not just once!He wanted to go over and pull her toward her, but the film crew recognized him and immediately gathered around him. "President Morgan? You’re here? Why didn't you tell us in advance? We were not prepared at all..."William saw that Jeffrey’s face was getting more and more grim, so he hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over. "President Morgan intends to invest in the shooting of this promotional video for the city.""Really? That's great!"Everyone in the film crew beamed with joy. "This way we will have more funds!

    Melanie sat at the end of the bed. Her racing heart trembled as she was caught off guard.Jeffrey, this aloof big shot, always managed to surprise her with his gentleness when she least expected it."Aren't you busy? Why are you still daydreaming?" Jeffrey, with his eyes closed, suddenly asked, startling Melanie. She quickly grabbed her script and hurried to the living room to continue memorizing, fearing that he might change his mind at any moment.It wasn't until she finished memorizing the entire script that she stretched lazily. Jeffrey was already fast asleep on the floor, and Melanie quietly covered him with a blanket before leaving the room to wash her face and do her nighttime skincare routine in the makeup room.On the same floor, another hotel room had been temporarily converted into a makeup room for the entire film crew to share.When Melanie entered, she was surprised to find that Grace was also there.It was already so late. Was she also rehearsing her script in her

    If everyone hadn't just heard Grace's distinctive voice moments ago, no one would believe that the person standing in front of them was Miss Grace, the darling of Duke Wilhelm."How... did you end up like this?" The director was shocked.Grace gritted her teeth and looked down while clenching her fists. "I had an allergic reaction...""What kind of allergy could make you look like this?" People around her expressed their disbelief.Only Melanie's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.Thinking about the mysterious disappearance of more than half of her royal jelly from the dressing table, could it be that this foolish woman used it as a facial cream?Melanie couldn't help but stifle a laugh, and Grace, seeing her smile, quietly gritted her teeth.After the director and a few scriptwriters had their fill of laughter, he said, "Alright, our shooting schedule cannot be postponed. It's all in the contract. If you can reduce the swelling by tonight, we'll shoot you. If not, all the ex

    The environment here was tranquil, with a sea of flowers blanketing a secluded valley. There was a river in the valley, and in the distance, there was a pristine snow mountain. As it wasn't the peak tourist season, there were few visitors, but the flowers along the road were exceptionally vibrant.Melanie walked deeper into the field.Suddenly, in a large area filled with camellias, she spotted a bluish-purple flower.Blue poppy!Her eyes widened slightly. This rare flower only bloomed in Azure City, and this was her first time seeing it in person.She couldn’t resist and approached to take a sniff.

    "Prepare the car!" After Jeffrey finished speaking, he got up and quickly went downstairs. As the car arrived at the filming location, it could be seen from a distance that all the staff were in chaos. William directly pulled the director over, and they stood in front of Jeffrey. Seeing Jeffrey with a stern face, the director thought he was dissatisfied with their work and didn't plan to invest anymore. He hurriedly assured, "President Morgan, it's our mistake this time, but we've never had such an accident before..." "Have they found her?" Jeffrey's voice was as cold as a poisoned ice blade, interrupting the director’s nonsense. The director trembled in fear. "Not yet... we are doing our best in the search..." Jeffrey's eyes twitched. He was usually rational and his emotions rarely took control, but now he couldn't help it. "President, the search and rescue team has dived into the river to search for the madam. Although this part of the water is deep, the current is no

    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. 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

    "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.
