Picking someone up?As Melody's figure vanished, Christopher’s heart was filled with anger and jealousy. His face turned so ugly that he looked ghastly.She smiled brightly at other men, but remained completely indifferent to his apology and goodwill.This heartless woman!Seeing this, Luke was lost for words.He had thought that Melody's attitude had improved this time, and was hoping for a more pleasant conversation with Christopher. However, the arrival of someone else had made the atmosphere even colder.Dammit!He was likely to face this unnamed anger again once they got back. He sighed, and creased his brows.Who had arrived that Miss Nolan had to go pick up right now?Melody made her way down with incredible speed, eager to get to the airport as soon as possible.As she stepped out of the company's entrance, she saw a navy blue luxury convertible sports car parked on the side of the road. Levian got out of the car, his hair gently tousled by the wind.She ran up with
"Chris, I missed you so much, but you never see me."Hearing his icy tone, her voice trembled slightly. "You have no idea what kind of life I've been having in the company these days. They treat me like a newcomer, making me do all the dirty work and humiliating me…"Talia was being very tactful and subtle in her description. Deep down, she was cursing up a storm.She had been placed in the administrative department to do clerical work, but everyone in the company knew that she had betrayed him. Every employee sided with their boss and looked down on her as a fickle woman trying to climb the social ladder.As a result, they assigned all the unpleasant tasks to her. Her supervisor even ridiculed her, saying, "You’re flying too close to the sun. Who do you think you are? Take a look at yourself! You’re shameless!"Wherever she went, she faced unfriendly gazes and hushed conversations. All of these were like sharp needles, pricking at her.The crowd was against her, and she had no
At the thought of this, Christopher felt a sharp pang in his heart. He realized he wasn’t at all a qualified husband. Looking back, he had hurt Melody too deeply and too often. They had reached their current situation, and he couldn't deny that a large significant portion of the responsibility rested on his shoulders.Luke witnessed all of this, and couldn't be happier. Had his boss finally seen Talia's true colors? Would Melody be returning soon?He was contemplating how to handle Talia if she came back to cause trouble again when suddenly, the phone rang.With one call after another, he had no choice but to answer. As soon as he heard the words on the other end, his expression changed dramatically."Mr. Bolton, there’s bad news!"Christopher's eyes snapped open.Luke's entire demeanor was tense, and his voice held urgency. "Just now, the people I sent to investigate Miss Nolan called and said that she's in danger!"Christopher's face darkened, and he exuded a sharp aura. His
"Andrew?!"Although he was wearing a mask, Melody recognized him at a glance. As a movie star, Andrew had a tall and slender figure. Even with most of his face covered by the mask, his deep eyes and the perfect curve extending from under the mask to his neck were enough to make one imagine the stunning face concealed beneath the mask.He smiled at her as he hummed. His casual, deep voice carried a cold, metallic undertone.Melody's heart suddenly warmed. The two cousins exchanged glances quickly, deciding to join forces to deal with the thugs.Seeing this, the yellow-haired leader’s heart sank instantly.They already had a tough time dealing with this crazy woman. Now, a backup had come!However, Melody wouldn't give him the chance to speak.Andrew’s assistance made her feel invincible. The two cousins defended seamlessly, attacked, and coordinated with each other. It was as if they had rehearsed this countless times.He even rolled up his sleeves, and cheerfully encouraged a
Without allowing room for dissent, the man acted swiftly and with concern.He threw a punch at Andrew, who, not fully aware of the situation, was compelled to fight back, resulting in an intense exchange of blows.Melody, who had been unexpectedly pushed aside, looked up and froze.Christopher adjusted his tie crisply, rolled up his sleeves slightly, and exuded an aura that suggested he wouldn't stop until the opponent was knocked down.Upon his arrival, Christopher witnessed a sleazy man attempting to ambush Melody and take advantage of her. He had reached out to her during the attack.He acted without hesitation, and charged toward them. He couldn't bear to think of what harm she might have suffered if he had arrived a moment later.At this moment, he didn't realize how much he cared about her safety.He launched another strike. His tone was icy, laced with murderous intent. "You’re really digging your own grave."Andrew furrowed his brows when he heard that. Was he accused o
Christopher glared coldly at Luke.He immediately bowed and apologized. "I'm sorry, Mr. Bolton. I shouldn't have said that."Although Luke appeared apologetic on the surface, deep down, he didn't regret it. Someone had to speak up, since Christopher was unwilling to do so. Otherwise, they would keep arguing for goodness knows how long!Melody was also taken aback by the revelation that Christopher had come for her. She was momentarily stunned.Christopher had never felt so uncomfortable. He was tongue-tied, and all his reasons and excuses became futile as they were laid bare. He also noticed a mocking glint in Melody's eyes, as if she found his concern impulsive and reckless.He had to admit that after the divorce, she seemed to have transformed into a radiant and striking pearl. The sunlight accentuated her dazzling beauty, attracting the attention of every man—and now there was another one by her side.However, he no longer had the right to feel jealous. This irony left him fee
Irwin's voice came through the phone, bearing annoyance and longing. "Miss, you've finally remembered to contact me. I've been bored out of my mind!"Melody had been busy with her company's business these past few days, and hadn't contacted him much. "That's perfect. I have a task for you," she said seriously. "Digby Parham has been spotted in Ocenia. Keep a close eye on him. Don't let him escape. I have questions for him tomorrow."Irwin felt a surge of pride when she entrusted him with such an important task. He said confidently, "Don't worry, boss, I'll handle it."Digby Parham.Andrew keenly caught that name, his brows furrowed, his gaze as cold as ice in the dead of winter. He steered the wheel with one hand, and discreetly sent a text when Melody wasn't looking.They reached their destination quickly. Andrew was the first to get out of the car, opening the door for her and shielding her from the door frame.Melody's nose tingled as she observed this gesture. When she was
When Andrew heard that, his eyes flickered slightly."Not yet, but I've already sent him the location."Melody raised an eyebrow, her expression slightly tense. "Is there something more important than welcoming your family? He’s been so busy with his club."Levian was one who knew his priorities. If his family had traveled all this way to see him, he would make time for it, no matter how busy he was. What was going on today?Inside La Maison, it was peak dining hour.On the round table, graceful young women in beautiful dresses were playing music. Dining here was a triple delight for the senses.Coincidentally, Olivia had made a dinner date with Jasmine for today."There are so many people here, we had to wait for over an hour. My legs are killing me," Olivia grumbled as she entered.Jasmine gracefully took her seat. "I think it's worth it. The piece they’re playing on stage is quite good. If I remember correctly, it's a famous composition. It's quite challenging.""That's ri
