Chapter 992 Men Will Be Men

Author: Bright Eyes
For the next couple of days, Melanie secluded herself in the fragrance blending room.

She was doing the final testing for 'Hypnotic', her newest perfume.

Naturally, she did not forget about a more important task.

During meals and when she went on breaks, Melanie would sneakily get up and pick up a call from time to time. After a few times, Leo's facial expression clearly changed when he saw her reading a message or picking up a call.

One evening during the weekend, Melanie was returning to her room from the fragrance blending room. She was about to take a shower and rest when she received a message Jeffrey had personally left behind.

"Miss Jones, Leo sent someone to secretly plant something in your room. I checked twice. The York family also checked once. In the end, one listening device was retained under the sink. It was a very advanced listening device. We only found it after three checks. We decided to leave it behind. It should probably not arouse Leo's suspicion."

    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

    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.
