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
"Okay."Albert left hesitantly and glanced back at Melody repeatedly.She took a taxi back to the office. During the ride, she rested by shutting her eyes.She overheard the lively discussions of her staff once she entered the office building."It's Ms. Nolan!"The employees all turned their gazes toward Melody at the same time.Astonished by their excitement, Melody wondered, "What's going on?"The crowd began to gather around her and gaze at her in awe."Ms. Nolan, you are incredible! The stock market fluctuations sent us into a state of panic. You solved the problem before we could even come up with a solution.""And Albert! He's an international supermodel!" exclaimed a young girl with a ponytail. "How sweet is his post?""Yes! And you're absolutely right! He's handsome, and you're stunning! I'm totally rooting for you two."They showered her with compliments. Melody thought their excited expressions were adorable, but she did not say much. She gave a warm smile in res
As soon as the workday ended, Melody headed home.She opened the mahogany door to find a tall, attractive man standing by the living room window.Levian was talking to someone over the phone. His usually kind tone was tinged with coldness.He reprimanded, "How did you do your job? I thought it was very clear that I didn't want to see that model again. Are my words being ignored? You have one last shot at this. Keep her out of my sister's sight, or you'll be fired!" After hearing a squeak from behind him, Levian turned around to look.His hostility and hatred melted away the moment he laid eyes on Melody.He inquired with his gaze full of affection and care, "Mel, you've come home?"He walked up to her and sat her on the sofa.She asked him to join her and felt touched by his concern. She advised, "Don't get so worked up, Levian. It's bad for your health. I know you care about me, but you shouldn't get too emotional.""It's nothing, but those incompetent fools…forget it."
Levian's voice was almost inaudible as he spoke.Melody was too preoccupied with her tea and treats to notice his strange behavior."Miss." The butler interrupted Levian just as he was about to speak. He bowed and said, "Miss Evelyn is here and wishes to see you."A look of disgust formed on the butler's face as Evelyn was mentioned. He was sure that Melody would be troubled once more by this evil woman.Levian wrinkled his brows, and his eyes flashed a stern expression. "She has the audacity to show up here," he scoffed.Melody, on the other hand, kept her cool and set down the grape gracefully.She then gave the order, "Bring her in."Evelyn entered the manor in timid and small steps. She came to a halt in front of Melody with a timid expression on her face."Mel...cousin! I'm sorry..." Her tone was as gentle as a murmur.Her excessive drama was getting on Levian's nerves. She put on a show of submission and obedience, but she was brutal behind their backs."Can't you speak
