With her mind full of doubt, Melody pushed the huge door of the meeting room.The moment she saw the guests, she realized what the secretary was shyly excited about.Ethan and Christopher were both sitting on the sofa, waiting. The only difference was that Ethan was leaning lazily while Christopher was sitting upright.Though both donned a tailored suit for the business discussion, one was behaving casually and flirty, while the other one was aloof and reserved. The morning sun shone through the curtains and showered Christopher's face. His face glowed like a splendorous jade, making it hard for other people to move their eyes away from him.No wonder the secretary was so excited. However, it was the other way round for Melody!She had clearly only agreed to discuss with Ethan. Why did an extra person appear out of nowhere? Seeing her face, Ethan hurriedly stood up with the intention of explaining the situation. However, Melody threw him a sharp gaze, which he understood immediate
This was a question that had plagued him for a long time.Even if there had been a change in her state of mind before and after marriage, it was impossible for such drastic change to occur in such a short period of time. Her change was so great that he found her somewhat unfamiliar.Melody's face stiffened and said, "Frederick!"Frederick immediately stepped in between them, creating a chance for Melody to shake off Christopher's hand.However, Frederick alone was not enough to stop the determined man. Christopher easily freed himself from Frederick and ran out of the meeting room, drawing the attention of several employees passing by in the corridor.With an expressionless face, he grabbed Melody's wrist. "You don't have to hide it from me anymore. I have looked into everything. You married me because of Albert Scott. You did it to get him money from Grandpa!"He was breathing heavily, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest.It burned so much that his sanity compl
After watching the scene just now, Frederick realized that there might be some misunderstanding between Melody and Christopher.As someone who always prioritized Melody's interests, he thought it might be a good thing to help them clear things up.After a brief consideration, he led Christopher to a deserted stairwell.It was dimly lit, caging Christopher in murkiness. Anyway, he was not affected by it anymore and spoke first. "You should be aware by now that Melody and I were once husband and wife. I don't have any other intention, I just want to know why she is so different from who she was before the divorce. What exactly happened to her after she returned to the Nolan family?"Though a person's personality could change with circumstances, it should not have changed so drastically."Still, this is not a valid reason for you to coerce Miss Nolan, isn't it, Mr. Bolton?"Frederick could not make himself friendly to Christopher after witnessing the changes of his young lady. "
Ethan took a while to reply. He inquired, "Huh? Where have your inquiries taken you?""My research revealed that you spent a lot of time quietly promoting the art. You went so far as to bring in experts in the field of embroidery to provide guidance."Melody inched toward Ethan. Squinting, she continued, "Obviously, you wouldn't simply agree because you trust me. Profit-loss transactions are never undertaken by businessmen like us."Her comment emphasized Ethan's unique role in the partnership.For a split second, the man was speechless. Her deduction was spot on, but how did she find out about all this when he was being so discreet?When it came to dealing with company CEOs, he had seen it all. He had met a wide range of people. Some were susceptible to manipulation by flattery, while others were overly cautious and reluctant to take risks, which cost them opportunities.Melody was unique. She noticed every little thing, and she was immune to compliments. Sweet talk did not easi
"Who would that be?" Melody asked instinctively.Ethan blinked. He looked at her intently and questioned, "Who else could it be? There she is, right in front of me."Melody was speechless.Ethan pursed his lips. He had kept something to himself for quite some time. The atmosphere was right, so he asked, "Would you tell me what kind of man you are into? What did you see in Christopher? I want to learn from him."The world at large saw Christopher as handsome and wealthy. There were many female admirers, but they did not understand much about him.Ethan knew his friend could be brutally honest and insensitive at times. Even though Christopher was attractive, being with him could be exhausting.Ethan was confident in his appearance and his ability to be romantic and make Melody happy. He was puzzled as to why he was unable to win her heart.Melody scowled when she realized this. She said, "You don't have to look at a failure as a learning experience."The light in Ethan's eyes f
Christopher straightened his posture instantly.Luke was also too busy to stop and drink some water."I discovered that Ms. Nolan frequently traveled abroad three years ago. It's not clear what prompted her sudden adventure, but the cruise ship disaster happened around that time. I learned that Ms. Nolan's return was orchestrated by her uncle. Benjamin Nolan is very suspicious!"Everything was too coincidental.Christopher squinted his eyes. He was well-versed in such strategies, as his family had been grooming him to take over the family business since he was a child.Murdering the young heir was a common tactic used by warring family members to ensure that they would inherit the fortune. These kinds of schemes were all too common.Luke let out a deep sigh as he finished."Now that I think about it, I realize how difficult it was for Ms. Nolan. She had a lucky escape from death but lost her memory. Her parents had died in a car accident around this time, and her uncle had taken
Melody was completely unaware of what was going on.She and Albert went to a popular pastry shop.The staff recommended their most popular black forest cake to the two with great enthusiasm. The cream was sweet yet not overly rich. The decorative cream flowers on the cake were both intricate and charming. This delightful cake instantly captured Melody's heart.They picked a bright spot in the pastry shop and settled in.Albert flashed a bright smile. He raised an eyebrow and inquired triumphantly, "How is it? I know you'd like it."Melody chuckled and conceded, "You're right. It's delicious."Melody's phone was buzzing constantly as they casually conversed. She had completely missed it until Albert pointed it out. "Melody, your phone is ringing."He had hoped they could enjoy their date uninterrupted, but if someone kept messaging Melody, it must be urgent.Surprisingly, it was from Jenson."Ms. Nolan, today's news is bad publicity for our company. Someone is making stuff up
The issue quickly gained the attention of Albert's fans.Even though they had no idea who the "girl" in question was, his influence was overwhelming.All of Albert's devoted followers were convinced that their idol could not be wrong. More importantly, he had presented convincing evidence."Albert even made the video evidence public. Facts speak louder than words. What else do you have to say?""That's right, Albert is a man of character. There must be some shady story here if he's having problems with it.""You can't take one side of the argument! What are your intentions? Are all of you paid posters?"A popular idol's influence was immense. Albert was well known in the industry.The tide turned quickly in favor of Melody. Considering the evidence's weight, nobody could look the other way.Albert read the comments by scrolling down. His eyes twinkled with delight."Melody, everything is fine now. The dust has finally settled."He had used his ability to aid Melody in resolvi
