This wasn't his usual phone number!Melody instantly fell silent, not daring to make a single sound.Christopher could hardly contain his excitement. "The girl you saved today is my sister. Our entire family is deeply grateful to you. I..."Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden, abrupt exclamation from a woman interrupted him. "Natasha! Natasha’s awake!"It was Olivia. Melody could even imagine her startled appearance.After several days of unconsciousness, Natasha finally woke up. Christopher was deeply concerned about his younger sister's condition, and hurriedly said, "Sorry, Miss Althea. My sister has awakened. I'll call you later."The call abruptly ended, and Melody breathed a sigh of relief.How did Christopher know her phone number?He wanted to call back later? That’s absolutely unnecessary!Melody detested unnecessary entanglements. His gratitude earlier made her feel complicated, but it wasn't enough to sway her.She would maintain her secret the way she in
Christopher’s unease was confirmed when, after a busy signal, he could only hear a cold mechanical female voice on the other end. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently unreachable."Christopher tried two more times, but the result was the same. He hung up, dejected and frustrated, not understanding the reason behind it all.He merely wanted to express gratitude. Why was Althea unwilling to meet him? Or was there another hidden story behind this?Irritated, he opened the photo album and pulled out the picture Luke had taken. Her back seemed as far as the moonlight he could never reach...Sensing his displeasure, Luke tactfully lowered the air conditioning temperature and drove silently towards the company.No one spoke a word throughout the journey.Luke didn't dare to slack off. Reaching the company, he and Christopher headed straight to the Christopher's office.Upon opening the door, a group of people was gathered around the table, discussing matters on the compute
This was Luke's third time serving as a high-speed driver today. He pushed the steering wheel to the point it emitted smoke, all in a bid for every second.By the time he reached the Bolton Enterprise, he was feeling a bit dizzy and disoriented.Inside the CEO's office, the hackers from before were still gathered around the computer, deeply engrossed in their research. Christopher stepped in and announced, "Make way."Everyone promptly made space, assuming that the CEO had brought in an unparalleled expert. Upon closer inspection, they saw a stunningly beautiful woman trailing behind him. She exuded an otherworldly elegance and remarkable grace.Despite her beauty, she was undeniably a woman. She looked every bit like a spoiled young lady. How could she possibly have any hacking skills?Everyone exchanged glances. No one dared to say much, and pondered in silence. Melody paid no heed to their stares. She pulled out a chair, sat down, and began operating the computer.Upon start
Melody pouted in silence.Talia barked shamelessly behind Melody, "I thought Miss Nolan was a dashing and straightforward person, I did not expect her to be so nostalgic. She is already his ex-wife, yet she still comes here to curry favor with Chris. Nobody could ever know where she stands. To keep pestering her ex, she is just so thick-skinned. Perhaps the education she received from her family was mediocre."After saying that, she laughed coldly.Hearing the insult, Melody's long eyebrows twitched slightly, and she turned around."Apparently, you know that bad family education produces a bad personality. I do not have an aunt who is a mistress that personally teaches her niece to destroy other people's families. So I suppose if it is not a profession chosen by the elders of your family, you wouldn't be so good at it.""You!"Talia flushed in anger but was unable to refute it because Melody was telling the truth. "Stop changing the topic! Only the one who is not loved is the t
Olivia shook her head decisively. "No! I have to stay with Nat! What if she wakes up later and cannot see me?"Christopher was still as calm as usual and reasoned, "If you keep staying up like this, you will collapse before Nat wakes up. Do you want her to see you lying in a hospital bed as well? Would she be happy about it? Or do you want her worrying about you while she is sick?"The son knew his mother well. Christopher knew that she would not be convinced by simple words, so he coaxed her by manipulating her fears. Sure enough, she hesitated. She wavered while staring at her daughter."Okay. But you have to tell the caregiver to turn her body regularly and wipe her face and body every day with warm water. Don't use hot water. And one more thing, she has to call the nurse once the infusion is finished…"After listening to her nag for a while, Christopher brought her down and let Luke send her back.Meanwhile, Talia, who had been hiding in a corner, watched all of this in si
Madam Nolan's cooking was amazing. Melody had been very skinny because she was a picky eater when she was young. But after being fed with the former's delicious and nutritious food, her face finally got rounder.Though she had been ordering delicious meals from good restaurants, Madam Nolan's food was still incomparable. When Melody drank a large spoonful of soup, her chest immediately filled with warmth, and a considerable amount of fatigue that accumulated in her body dissipated.The soup was so tasty that she could not resist asking her grandmother for the secret of making good soup with the intention of improving her own cooking skills. During the conversation, Madam Nolan occasionally asked Melody about her work. But when she suddenly realized it, she quickly waved her hands and ended the topic."What am I doing? Being old makes me forgetful. Let's not talk about work during meals. Just focus on eating.""It's alright, Grandma. I know what I am doing. There's no harm in talk
Benjamin dodged and shouted bitterly, "Mother! I am your son! Why do you always side with her?"He did not finish what he wanted to say. "She will become a member of another family once she gets married, there is no use taking her side!""How dare you say that when you make your daughter into a liar!"Melody quickly held Madam Nolan, not because she was afraid of Benjamin getting beaten up, but because she was worried that her grandmother would accidentally trip and fall. "Grandma, be careful."When comparing the gentleness of her granddaughter to the wickedness of her incompetent son, Madam Nolan felt even more disappointed. She waved her hand and shouted, "I don't want to have lunch with you anymore. Get out of my sight!"Benjamin knew that it was impossible to gain any favor with Melody around. He pressed his lips bitterly and glared at Melody, then unwillingly left the house under the gaze of the maid. After he left, Madam Nolan was still angry, so Melody quickly brought h
The director was dumbstruck when he heard that and quickly defended himself, "We follow the rules and regulations closely. There is absolutely no favoritism, Miss Nolan!""Enough! Are you guys not going to join the show anymore?"The loud voice of the crowd drowned out Melody's voice. It was impossible to draw their attention.Albert immediately helped clear the way for her. While pulling them apart, he shouted, "Make way, the boss is here!"Melody was figuring out a plan when someone who seemed to enjoy watching the fight shouted, "Don't just gab on the matter, fight if you can!"The moment he said that a few boys were aroused.Calvert winked at his partner. He quickly immobilized the security guards and quickly broke through the crowd.In a flash, Calvert stood in front of Oliver. This was when the fight started!Oliver was a hot-tempered boy who could be provoked easily. His punches became heavier every time he swung his hand. Nigel, who was still sensible, immediately pulle
