Chapter 999 A Massage

Author: Bright Eyes
"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

    "What?" The Owner of Windborough Estate stepped forward shakily until he was next to Jeffrey."Are… You…"The Owner of Windborough Estate had heard about this back when Jefford first returned to the Yancey family.Rumors had it that he looked a lot like Jeffrey…Back then, Jeffrey had not died for very long. He too suspected Jefford might have been Jeffrey.He had men secretly investigate Jefford's background. In fact, he sold many of his assets and spent a lot of money to hire private detectives. However, all of them came back with answers that Jefford and Jeffrey were not the same person.He gradually believed that they were not the same person. They only looked alike because their mothers were twins.However…"Are you really…" The Owner of Windborough Estate grabbed Jeffrey's arms with trembling hands, urging him to turn around.He had secretly looked at this face countless times in photos."That's right. I'm Jeffrey."Jeffrey nodded. "When the Yancey family rescued me, I

    "The things she said were disconcerting. The maids who looked after her were all terrified. The Yancey family hired many doctors and even spiritual ones, but none of them could cure her. In fact, as she grew older, her condition became worse. The Yancey family had no choice but to change her name and send her abroad."The Owner of Windborough Estate continued to explain what happened back then. "I heard she was never in good spirits even after she grew up. She was kept locked in a yard. The Yancey family never heard from her again. Your mother told me all this…"Jeffrey nodded. This was the first time he heard about the Yancey family's past generation.He had assumed that the rumor that Yancey Group had more than two daughters was false."I'm only saying this to make myself feel better. I'm not asking for your forgiveness… You don't have to feel bad." The Owner of Windborough Estate studied his facial expression while he stared into space.Jeffrey averted his gaze. "I don't plan t

    Doctors arrived and started carrying out emergency rescue on Joseph.The others were asked to leave the room.Richard frowned and gave instructions. "Go! Gather all our men and start hunting down Leo and the man he took with him!""Richard, what's going on? Who was in the secret passage?" Melanie and Yelena clasped their hands together. They wanted to know."Ahh…"Richard sighed. "At this point, there's no reason to keep it a secret. However, I need to wait for someone to come before I tell you.""Who is it?" Yelena couldn't help but ask."Maximilian," Richard replied."Maximilian?" Melanie was in shock."That's right, Miss Melanie. Maximilian was the one who told Master York about your birthright." It was out in the open now.Melanie blinked.Maximilian was Professor Marshall.Back when Professor Marshall secretly gave her the evidence about her birthright, he gave her copies of it. It turned out he had personally brought the original documents to the York family. He prove

    "When Tempest was first formed, there were five of us. Later on, three others joined us," Richard explained to Melanie."Were they Joseph, Maximilian, Nathan's grandfather, and my grandfather?" Melanie asked.Richard nodded. "And your grandmother too."Melanie's eyes went wide.Richard noticed her look of surprise. "Your grandmother was an extremely smart woman. Gender wasn't an issue there."Melanie recalled something and pursed her lips.She once saw a white statue in the York family's secret passage. It was the statue of a woman.Jefford even said the statue looked a lot like her at first glance.Could that statue be carved based on Grandma's appearance?"Eagle was also one of them."Richard's voice turned deep. "Tempest began to expand its influences. People started forming pacts and sects. There were more and more split opinions."The most unacceptable one was Eagle. Eagle was good at developing various genetic drugs and weapons. The reason why we locked him up was beca

    Maximilian's deathly gaze made everyone nervous. "Dr. Maximilian, was the poison administered by one of our own?" Richard asked.Maximilian withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and said, "The method of poisoning is quite unique. I've never seen it before, so I can't say for sure."Although he didn't specify, his words hinted at something. However, he didn't elaborate out of caution.Everyone present got his hint and didn’t press further. Maximilian continued with a nod. "If we continue treating with a single antidote, it will only double the side effects of the neurotoxin. This poison is the key to his illness. It’s up to you whether to believe it or not.”After saying that, Maximilian prepared to leave. Just then, a servant hurried in, reporting that Joseph had awakened.Richard and Yelena quickly went to his side. Melanie hesitated for a moment but then quickly caught up with Maximilian. "Mr. Maximilian, please wait up!""What is it?" Maximilian waited for her to speak. "Wh

    "Yes, Master York."Richard pulled out the middle document for Joseph to sign. “Don’t worry, Master York. I will follow the terms in this document to assist Miss Melanie as per your instructions. Rest for now and you'll get better soon."Joseph knew that Richard was only comforting him. He sighed and slowly closed his eyes.Richard instructed the doctors to keep a close watch as Joseph was in a critical situation now. He had to hurry and make arrangements. He notified all important members of the York family to leave their residences and move into the main building where Joseph was staying. He had to combine the York family's forces to protect the main building against potential retaliation from Eagle and Leo."What about Mr. Harlow?" One of his subordinates asked.Harlow went abroad after his disgraceful transactions with Linda had been exposed. He had been working at the overseas branch for the past six months. It seemed he had no intention of returning anytime soon."Let h

    "Based on what you just said and my understanding of Tempest, the person Joseph fears the most is Carson, whom you said is your grandfather. Years ago, when Carson suddenly disappeared, it was rumored that he had died. However, in reality, he was living in seclusion in Harbor City, raising your father. But why did he hide his identity again later? Was he avoiding his enemies, or was there another reason? You mentioned that Maximilian said Carson hasn’t shown up because the time isn’t right. What exactly is he waiting for?" Jeffrey had a lot of questions. "Joseph and my grandfather had a falling out back then. My grandfather is likely hiding from Joseph. The York family is holding Eagle, who is Tempest's trump card. Since Eagle is in Joseph's hands, my grandfather has to be cautious." Melanie analyzed."I've been investigating Tempest for over a year, but from what I've found, it doesn't seem that there is any business conflict between Joseph and Carson. Was it because of women?”

    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.
