What an odd time for Luke to pass by and see the madam being intimate with another man. He wondered if Christopher would blame him for this, and if his job was at risk.Luke's mind was in a whirl, but he didn't allow any change in his expression. Unexpectedly, Christopher said calmly, "Turn around, and head to the company."Luke quickly nodded. "Yes, sir!"Only after making the U-turn did Luke dare to glance at the rearview mirror. Christopher had a poker face, but his aura was ominous.Melody had no idea that Christopher had just driven past her. As she drove away, she dialed Irwin's number."Miss, what are your orders?"Irwin knew that if Melody called at this time, it was for an important assignment. Thus, he responded promptly.Melody’s voice was cold as she instructed, "Keep an eye on Olivia and see what she plans to do next."Melody was well aware of how money-hungry Olivia was. The fifty million dollars she paid for the painting had probably emptied her coffers. Olivia w
Melody yanked the knife out of the tattooed man's hand, then pointed it threateningly at him.Blood gushed out of his hand, frightening him out of his wits. He continuously backed away on the ground.What stood before him wasn't a woman, but a demon!No, she was even scarier than a demon!"H-He's a middle-aged man! He didn't tell us his name, but we've seen him on TV! A-And he's an executive from the Nolan Enterprise! He gave us money and told us to violate you, then film it for him... He said he wanted to ruin your reputation!""Miss, spare us, please! We...we just got greedy! Under normal circumstances, even if we have all the courage in the world, we wouldn't dare lay a finger on you!"The two men cried and begged for mercy. Had they known they were offending someone so ruthless, they wouldn't have dared attempt it in the first place!Melody’s heart went cold. She found everything ridiculously absurd.An executive from the Nolan Enterprise with such malicious intent toward h
At this moment, Melody stood above, looking down at Benjamin. Her clear face was filled with an icy resolve. In her black gown, she resembled the Grim Reaper from hell."You!" Smack, smack, smack!Benjamin screamed in pain; but since he couldn't see who was attacking him, he could only beg for mercy in a lowly manner. Yet, no one paid any attention to him. Instead, a series of slaps landed harshly on his face. Melody watched him with a frosty glare. The first slap was for her father!Her father treated him like a real brother, but he only cared about the company assets!The second slap was for her mother!Her father was an innocent woman who knew little about the world, who lived life adored by her father! Yet he let her die in that car crash, all to satiate his selfish desires!’The third slap was for her youngest uncle!Her youngest uncle was Grandpa’s favorite son, but he had been so young at that time. He had no interest in the company. But because of Benjamin’s greed, h
Belinda understood what Benjamin meant. He was saying, "I was unlucky! I was extorted for money, and I got beaten up!"She couldn't hold back any longer and hugged him tightly, bursting into tears.Benjamin was both angry and frustrated. He had practically uttered those words through gritted teeth, his mouth almost filled with blood.Melody was unscathed. Yet he not only suffered a beating, but also lost money in the process!He and Belinda initially thought the project could proceed again, but now, they were back to square one.Indeed, relying on street thugs had been utterly useless!Melody watched this scene unfold with a cold smile in her heart. On the outside, she feigned a concerned expression. "Aunt, should we consider calling the police? Let them investigate what happened here. These thugs were so ruthless! Uncle got badly beaten up. What if they come after you next?"Belinda quickly snapped back to her senses. "No, let's not call the police for now."They absolutely
Melody wanted to turn around to get a clear look at the person, but what met her eyes was an explosion of fiery light. Amidst the crimson fragments that filled the sky, she suddenly woke up, seeing the warm sunlight outside the window. It made her realize that she was drenched in cold sweat.It was testament to how horrifying the nightmare was.Melody gasped for breath, rubbing her slightly aching head as she got up. She hadn't completely escaped the nightmare. Due to her previous memory loss, that scene felt just like yesterday.In the explosion's fiery blaze, she had fallen into the sea ahead of time. Because of that, she had narrowly escaped a calamity. Otherwise, Benjamin’s sinister plans would have succeeded by now. But… Why couldn't she see the person's face clearly?Melody clutched her chest, breathing heavily. She tried hard to recall the person who had pushed her into the sea. Yet no matter how much she tried, she could only draw a blank.A sliver of sunlight gradually
Melody was touched by his words."I'm fine, really," she said coquettishly, as if she was once again the pampered lady, "No one dares to trouble me. I can rely on Frederick at the company and Simon at home. Everything in my life is just perfect now. I'll visit you guys abroad once I have the time. Don't make me the reason you delay your work.""That's absolutely impossible! Work is nothing compared to you…""Listen!" she spoke sternly, "I have my own plan. Just don't let Vincent and Andrew know first, and don't try to mess up my plan or I won't make you good food when you come back!"It would surely cause a massive commotion in Bayridge if the three brothers returned, but she preferred to keep a low profile.Levian was a man with a crippling sister complex. He swore he would never allow himself not to get the chance to eat her delicious cooking. So he quickly begged for a pardon."Alright, alright. I promise you."And the two chatted over the phone for a while longer. But basica
Melody turned her head without thinking.The moment she looked behind, Christopher's stiff yet handsome face came into her sight. The man with a chiseled face was dressed smartly in a suit, exuding the detached coldness of a superior. As he was walking toward her, his assistant, Luke Parker, was following him from behind.'What's all this about? How unlucky it is to see this man so early in the morning!'She did not mind not getting a good night's sleep, but why did this man need to appear before her eyes to further irritate her?Christopher did not expect to see Melody here and looked at her in puzzlement. Luke's reaction was even more exaggerated. He opened his mouth wide, not only because of Melody's appearance, but also because his boss was very accurate in recognizing her just from her back.Melody turned her head around in annoyance and cursed Christopher inwardly.It was the first time that she felt that the elevator was too slow!She stepped into it the moment it arr
Not expecting Melody to be Ms. Nolan's secretary, Christopher's eyes flickered with a rare hint of bewilderment, then he directed his gaze at Luke.Luke shuddered at his boss's majestic aura and said quickly, "Miss Nolan, I have confirmed the appointment with a secretary before this, and Ms. Nolan agreed to the meeting. It's a disgraceful action to suddenly change one's mind in the business world, could you…"Melody interrupted coldly, "You should contact that person then. Anyway, I will make this clear to you. Ms. Nolan has nothing to do with the actions of the other secretaries pulling strings for you, and she has no reason to be accountable for their mistakes!"The door of the elevator opened just in time."Ms. N-..." The moment the clerk standing outside saw her and wanted to greet her, he was silenced by her glare. The stiff air made his scalp numb. Apart from occasional scoldings during meetings, Ms. Nolan normally treated the staff members kindly. But her eyes were way too
