Three days before the York family's celebration, Joseph finally asked Harlow to come back.Melanie took the opportunity to appear in front of Harlow. Naturally, he could not stand it. "You're an outsider. Why are you always staying in my house? Is that even appropriate?""Joseph thinks it's fine. Besides, the most important part of the celebration is to introduce my new fragrance. I'm probably much more useful here than you are."Melanie intentionally provoked Harlow. "Harlow, I admire your courage. Even now, you still want to fight me.""What are you trying to say?" Harlow walked closer and clenched his jaws."Haha."Melanie sneered intentionally. "You and Leo are both young masters in the York family. Leo gets to stay by Joseph's side and be involved in the preparations, while you're sent abroad for nearly half a year. You've only returned when it's almost time for the celebration. This apple seems to have fallen very far from the tree.""Melanie, don't celebrate too soon! Are
"Sir, Melanie and Linda really have something going on secretly. We've got evidence now. Are you sure you won't discuss this with Nathan?" Leo's subordinate cautioned.Leo’s expression became even more grim upon earring Nathan's name.He was upset Linda had lied to him, but he hated Nathan even more for lying to him."Nathan initiated the alliance with Linda. They formed an alliance first. Do you think he wouldn't know what Linda was up to?" Leo uttered.Since they all betrayed him, he did not care if he used to have a thing for Nathan.He could turn the tides on his own!-Melanie intentionally waited for Linda to go to the restroom before following her inside.Before she did so, Jefford sent her three messages and also called her once. He cautioned her so that she would not be hurt by Linda."This is the York family's turf. Linda wouldn't dare hurt me. Besides, for the sake of my plan, I'm sure we'll be friendly on our way out of the restroom." Melanie hung up after saying t
The York family's most valued contract perfumer, Melanie, was making waves tonight with her newly launched 'Hypnotic'.People around her congratulated her endlessly.After the fragrance presentation, the music became soothing. A circular dance platform slowly elevated in the center of the ballroom. Guests began to dance in twos under the beautiful lights.Melanie was finally able to sit down and have a drink.Nobody else knew she was still pregnant. She was nowhere near her prime, and she would feel tired after standing for a little too long."There's finally nobody around you." Gabriel suddenly approached her."You had to deal with so many people earlier. I didn't want to bother you," he added."Indeed, my family cares for me," Melanie said jokingly.Gabriel smiled.She said he was family, which was a way of thanking him for his thoughtfulness while keeping her distance at the same time."You're undoubtedly the queen tonight. I wonder if I could have the honor of dancing wit
Linda turned around to look at the photo on the screen. The joyful expression on her face instantly disappeared.After a brief moment of panic, she glanced hastily at the audience, signaling her trusted advisor to go backstage and deal with the people trying to cause trouble.However, the voice backstage continued to speak."Does anyone in the audience know this boy? How about friends of Yancey Group?"Several Yancey Group shareholders shook their heads, but they had probably guessed what was going on.“Over the years, I'm sure you've all heard the rumors about Miss Yancey's private life, and some even say that she has an illegitimate child."Then let me tell you, this is not a rumor. The boy you see now is Miss Yancey's biological son, but he grew up living with the York family. Why is that? That's because the child's father is no other than the York family's young master Harlow York!”A paternity test report was also displayed on the big screen.There was an outburst!"Did M
Melanie noticed the look in Jefford's eyes and gently nodded to him, signaling that she was fine with it.It was only then that Jeffrey had no choice but to turn away and say goodbye to Yancey Group's folks. He needed to go back and sift through the information.The evidence on the big screen was real, but he had no idea how much it would affect Linda. He needed a rough estimate to come up with a better plan.-Yancey Group's farce ended the York family's celebration early.By the time everyone dispersed, Joseph had already been brought back to his room by the maids. Melanie walked up to Richard. "Thanks for your help tonight. My plan ruined the celebration. I hope Grandpa isn’t angry."Richard chuckled. "Master York said the celebration was too lengthy. He wanted to go back to his room to rest long ago…"Melanie laughed.Although she was doing this to help Jefford get rid of his rival, it also broke up the alliance between Leo and Linda. Weakening Leo's power was also what Jos
"What are you up to?" Leo asked instinctively."If Joseph wants you dead, only he can save you," Nathan said calmly."Do you know who he is?"Leo felt uncontrollably nervous."He's an old member of Tempest. The rest of it isn't important. What's important is that I know he has something that can destroy everything. He was locked up because everyone in Tempest was afraid of him, including Joseph. Evidently, he's powerful. If you can set him free, he'll definitely help you in your fight against Joseph.""I know you've been researching your family's underground tunnels to protect yourself. It's time to use that knowledge. Bring that person to me. We'll come up with a grand plan!" Nathan exclaimed."Aren't you worried I might leave with him? Why should I help you?" Leo hesitated."That man has been locked up for many years. He went crazy a long time ago. If you want access to his mind and abilities, you'll need my help. I'm not worried about you going back on your words." With that,
"Can't I?" Jeffrey asked.Melanie looked away. She could not be bothered to look at him. "This is what you're supposed to do. Even children know they are responsible for their own tasks. What's the point of offering praise?"Although Melanie said this, she knew it had not always been easy for Jefford.Linda had control over the Yancey family for over a decade. She had connections far and wide. How could Jefford, who was new to all this, even compare?To win in one move, Jefford would have to play his hand differently. Trying to persuade those experienced businessmen one at a time was not feasible at all.However…Melanie suddenly thought of something. She looked at him. "Those shareholders may not be loyal to Linda. They only protected her because Linda has dirt on them. If they betrayed her, she would expose them, and they would lose a great deal. Hence, to enlist their support successfully, we would have to completely undermine Linda so that she cannot fight back. Your plan… Sh
"Your body hasn't fully recovered. Eating well and sleeping well come first. Don't think too much," Jeffrey said while massaging Melanie.He was prepared for her to argue with him, but she never said a word.Jeffrey turned around and saw that she was already asleep with her head tilting sideways…She was exhausted but still wanted to read…He frowned and tucked her legs under the covers.Naturally, he was reluctant to leave. Hence, he quietly sat at the edge of her bed. He retrieved his phone and sent a message to his subordinate. "Did you bring him?"Soon, the subordinate called Jeffrey.His phone vibrated, but he hung up almost instantly. "Send a message!" He quickly replied."The Owner of Windborough Estate is here. Master, when will you see him?""There's no rush. Wait for my news."After sending the message, Jeffrey put his phone down and looked greedily at her sleeping face.When she was pregnant, she could sleep peacefully as long as he was around. He wondered if it s
