Melody stepped forward and said coldly, "Albert, don't argue with the mad dog."She looked tired. With her slender frame, she resembled fragile white porcelain.Albert quickly went over to support her. "Mel, you don't look good."Melody waved her hand. "I’m fine, just a little tired."When Talia saw Melody approaching, she was so angry that her eyes were about to spit fire. She glared daggers at Melody, screeching, "Bitch! You've ruined everything! I’ll kill you!"Melody glanced at her with indifferent eyes. "Everything you have was stolen through deception, and that’s what makes you vulnerable. I’m not interested in being part of your bleak life."Then, she turned to Albert. "Call the police. Let them deal with this criminal who attempted murder."Albert nodded. "Will do!"In just a few words, Talia's fate was determined. No matter how much she howled, no one paid attention to her.Even as the police arrived and took her away, she was still turning around and swearing resentf
He lowered his voice, and frowned slightly. "But that group has an intricate network and is deeply hidden, so our investigation is always interrupted. Do we need to change our target...?"Melody took a sip of her warm coffee; her eyes sparkled, and it was proof of her unwavering belief."No, keep investigating. I believe we’re close to getting the results."Jenson nodded obediently. "Yes, Ms. Nolan."Immediately after he exited the door, Melody picked up the letters one after another, thinking about which products would fit Leroy's image without being too flamboyant and alienating the masses.While she was thinking, a sudden phone ring interrupted her thoughts.Her eyes were still staring at the report, so she picked up the phone casually without looking at the screen. "Hello?"She had received many calls from collaborators in the past few days, so she thought this one was one of them.But after the call was connected, there was a long silence on the other end.Melody was a li
A trace of pain could be seen in Christopher's eyes. "...We really can’t go back?"He was still unwilling to give in.Even if Melody once loved him only because she regarded him as a substitute, Christopher was unwilling to accept that they were over.He wanted to marry her again, become her legitimate husband, protect her, care for her, and make her stay so that no one could take her away.Melody sighed, her tone laced with sadness."Christopher, please let me go."Christopher did not expect that she would say that, and was stunned."We’ve missed the best time. I’m really exhausted, both physically and mentally." Melody picked up her bag, stood up, and said her goodbye. "Take good care of yourself, and don't overthink."After saying that, regardless of Christopher's attempts to ask her to stay, she turned around, left, and closed the door.When Luke came in to check, he found Christopher looking at the white ceiling. It took a long time before Christopher came back to his sen
Philip noticed what she was thinking. He caressed her smooth black hair gently, as he used to. "Mel, it’s not your fault. It is my instinct to save you. Even if it happens again, I’ll make the same decision. I’m glad that you’re safe." Melody wiped away her tears. She couldn’t express her feelings at the moment. All she could think about was that Philip was alive, and that he was finally back.Philip took out a piece of tissue for her. Nodding, he said, "I’m back, Mel. I'm glad I can see you again."His eyes were full of deep tenderness, like a sea was trying to accommodate everything Melody had. Looking at Melody up close again, he was overwhelmed with a happiness he couldn’t describe. "You’re running the company very well now. Whenever I check the internet, everyone’s recommending the reality show launched by your company." Philip didn’t hide his admiration for her. "Mel, you did so much better than I thought."Philip was like a guiding light in her life, so Melody was ecstati
Under the special care of the medical staff and the director, Christopher's condition gradually improved.Luke was sincerely happy for him. "Mr. Bolton, it looks like you can be discharged soon."Christopher wasn’t too concerned about the improvement of his condition. He was still in confusion, and was far from happy. He took the warm water from the nurse, and drank it. Suddenly, he remembered something and stopped.That day, Talia confessed that she didn’t save him. Another girl carried him out in the fire. Who was that?Christopher's eyes flashed. "Luke. Go and investigate what happened at the fire scene thoroughly. I want to know everything, no matter the cost."Luke knew that Christopher took it seriously, so he acted quickly. "I’m on it, sir."Christopher rubbed his brows, upset. He fell asleep after lunch. When he opened his eyes again, it was already dusk.Dinner was light lean meat porridge and a few side dishes. While they were eating, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Thinking of that, Christopher felt a little irritated. He said coldly, "I'm tired. You may leave now."Olivia protested, "Hey, I’m not finished yet! Aren't you still eating—"Christopher ordered, "Luke."Luke understood immediately, and took them away. "Ma’am, Miss Williams. This way, please."Olivia was still mumbling, "You brat! You’re so impatient! Why can’t you listen to me? Humph…!"In contrast, Jasmine was much calmer. She said softly, "It's okay, Mrs. Olivia. We can come again."Olivia was very satisfied with Jasmine’s common sense. She took Jasmine by the hand, and said, "Don't worry, Chris is still ill. He’s not thinking straight. I’ll persuade him, and he’ll figure it out soon.”Jasmine smiled in acknowledgement. Before she was about to step out of the corridor, she turned back and took one last look at Christopher's ward.Ever since she was little, she always got what she wanted. Christopher was no exception.-Knowing that Philip was still alive, Melody was grea
They talked and laughed, but Levian felt as if he had been struck by lightning.The moment he saw Philip, his pupils contracted and trembled violently.Was this handsome gentleman really Philip?! Didn’t he die three years ago?Philip was once his best friend. Levian was so excited, that he shouted in surprise, "Philip?!"Walking forward in disbelief, he pressed Philip's shoulders and touched the latter up and down. He acted the same way Albert did upon seeing his brother.After confirming that Philip was real and not an illusion, Levian was overjoyed. "Philip, it's really you... It's really you! I'm not dreaming, am I?!"Philip chuckled. "Didn't you feel it? I’m warm.""Mel, when did you know this? Why didn't you tell me?" Levian asked.Levian was agitated, but this wasn’t the place to talk. Melody lowered her voice, "Lev, it's a long story. I'll tell you later."Levian was so excited to meet his friend again after three long years. His eyes were slightly red at this moment.
Although the meal was enjoyable, everyone had their own thoughts. As an insider, Levian’s feelings were even more complicated. When he saw that the eyes of the Scott brothers were all on Melody, he, as her cousin, was proud of her charm.Philip was his best friend and ex-brother-in-law, so Levian subconsciously favored him. He had taken good care of Melody from the beginning. If he and Melody renewed their relationship, Levian would be at ease.When Levian looked at Melody again, she treated the Scott brothers equally. It seemed to her, they were just fiends.In comparison, the way Melody looked at Amelia was much more affectionate. After dinner, the Scott brothers left without staying any longer. "Grandma, you’re a good cook. I’ll gain three pounds after this meal!"Albert had a silver tongue, and was very good at pleasing elders.Linette was pleased, and said smilingly, "Silly boy! You’re so tall, nobody would notice that! Do come again, and I’ll cook you more delicious food
