Linette was silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly. "As long as Mel is happy, anything’s fine."Although she favored Christopher and Philip, she prioritized her granddaughter's feelings first and foremost.Melody, who had just got into the car, suddenly felt her nose going itchy. She sneezed.Philip turned to look at her worriedly. "Are you okay?" Melody waved her hand. "Yeah."Thinking of Levian and Linette making fun of her, she explained, "They’re just joking."Philip knew his place, and was grateful enough to be by her side like now. He didn’t dare to ask for more. It wasn’t possible, either.He suppressed his desire and smiled softly at her, revealing his beautiful white teeth. "I know."Melody stared at him, feeling that something was strange about Philip. However, upon thinking of what she had to do soon, she put her thoughts aside. She moved, and started the car engine.The sky gradually darkened, like thick ink that couldn’t be dissolved. She drove from the bus
The reporter's words sounded ridiculous. She had deviated from the track of exploring the facts. Her purpose was to piss Christopher off!If Christopher got angry on the spot, the launching ceremony would be ruined.Ethan realized the reporter's intention. He frowned, and shouted, "Security, take her away!"The reporter's hands were restrained, and her microphone was taken away. Furious, she shouted aggressively, "Answer me, Mr. Bolton! Are you feeling guilty? Are you too scared to answer?"Ethan glanced at Christopher standing beside him with a cold expression, and his frown deepened. What on earth was this woman thinking? Did she know who she was dealing with?"Wait." A cold voice rang amidst the commotion.Everyone's eyes fell on a woman in a long, dark blue dress.Melody's black hair and red lips brought a strong visual impact to them; her perfect face was dazzling and eye-catching."The answers to your questions can be found on Bolton Enterprise’s official website. Thi
"Since the launching ceremony went quite smoothly, let's have a meal together to celebrate," Ethan suggested with a smile.Melody rejected him without hesitation. "I still have work to do. You guys can go ahead. Enjoy your meal."She stood up, her dark blue dress rippling like the waters of a lake. Sunlight refracted from the window, illuminating her hair with fluffy golden circles. It was so beautiful, people couldn’t take their eyes away.Christopher stared at her, dazed. Her figure reflected in his pupils, and everything around her seemed blurred."You don't even have time for a meal?" he asked, his voice hoarse. He sounded confused.Melody frowned, and answered calmly, "That’s right."Seeing that, Ethan held his forehead. He could feel a headache incoming.Why did they always get so tense after just a few words? He quickly stood up quickly to act as a peacemaker."Ms. Nolan, you shouldn't skip your meals. You'll need energy to work. Join us," he persuaded.Melody was annoy
Christopher leaned towards Melody, his chest resting on her clavicle. Before he could touch her waist, he suddenly felt his arms being yanked forward.She grabbed his hand and threw it over his shoulder, pulling him forward forcefully.He reacted quickly, and predicted her moves. He clenched his jaw and pressed his knee against hers, preventing her from exerting force.As if she had expected this reaction, she raised her foot and clamped one of his legs, then hooked it to the side. With that, she escaped his hold.Christopher didn’t expect that. He was caught off guard, and staggered a few steps to the side. He held on to the wall, and managed to stand firm.Luke stood at the door, dumbfounded at the scene. He wanted to laugh when he saw Christopher almost getting thrown over his shoulder by Melody, but didn’t dare to do so openly.And so, he suppressed the grin on his face.The next second, he met Christopher's sharp gaze. He immediately covered his lips, and his face turned re
"Let them watch," Philip said warmly.The security guard stopped when he saw Philip.Philip walked to the basketball court. The photographer was about to adjust the camera position, so the shooting was paused for a while.Seeing him approaching, Leroy thought the latter wanted to give some suggestions, so he walked toward Philip first."Mr. Scott, is there anything to be improved?" Leroy asked, chuckling.Philip laughed as well, and pointed at the fans at the entrance."Those are your fans. Do you mind if they watch?"Leroy waved to them, and said with a smile, "No. Outsiders shouldn’t be here. I can take photos with them after I finish shooting, though."When Philip returned, he saw Melody running to the entrance and chatting with the girls.Looking at these enthusiastic girls, Melody remembered herself in the past. She smiled.Philip conveyed Leroy's suggestion to the fans."Sir, thank you so much! You’re so handsome and kind!""If you debut, I’ll definitely be your fan!"
The sun was setting, and tall buildings filled the skyline. Within the premises of Alvarez Group, the employees displayed a myriad of expressions, each brimming with anxiety and apprehension.A figure cloaked in black strode into the lobby, emanating an inherent aura of strength that he seemed to exude effortlessly. His piercing eagle eyes projected an icy chill, sending shivers down the spine.Christopher Bolton.In the entire business realm, there wasn't a soul unaware of him or his deeds."I'm sorry, Mr. Bolton, but without an appointment, you can't enter." The receptionist nervously held her ground, though her voice quivered, dutifully attempting to halt his advance.Christopher cast a cold glance her way, indifferent to her words, and continued forward.The receptionist hesitantly called security through the internal line. Moments later, several security guards flooded the lobby, all converging towards him.A faint curve of a cold smile graced Christopher's lips as he til
Philip suppressed the bitterness in his heart and asked considerately, "Mel, do you mind? If you do, we can change to another restaurant." "No need, this one's fine. It's just a meal anyway. It doesn't matter where we eat," Melody replied.The owner scratched the back of his head in confusion as he watched them. Had he misunderstood something?The waiter seated Melody and Philip at a table.The so-called couple's table had champagne roses and candles, with pink tables and chairs, all illuminated by a dim purple light, creating an atmosphere of romantic bubbles.Melody merely glanced briefly, and then withdrew her gaze. For her, as long as there was food, it was fine. Thankfully, she wasn't having this meal with Christopher. Otherwise, she didn't know how he'd tease her again."Mel?" A gentle male voice pulled her thoughts back.Melody looked at Philip, a hint of confusion in her eyes. "What's wrong?"Philip pushed a menu towards her, slightly amused. "Let's order. You seeme
Natasha's lips twitched slightly, her eyes gradually becoming clearer. The hand gripping Christopher's coat tightened slowly, the clear lines of her fair, slender fingers becoming visible.Hearing her soft murmur, Christopher paused and turned to look at her. "What do you remember?""I heard Talia mentioned that... She said..." Natasha recalled a painful memory, closed her eyes briefly, her voice choked. "She said your childhood savior was Melody."This revelation was like a clap of thunder in a clear sky, deafening. Christopher's pupils suddenly contracted, and his black eyes filled with shock."What...did you say?" he murmured softly, urgency flickering in his eyes, as if seeking a certain answer."Talia said that the person who saved you when you were younger was Melody," she repeated. This time, her voice was much calmer and more earnest. "Chris, Melody is your savior, not Talia."Perhaps realizing her mistake, Natasha now addressed Melody with respect.Christopher seemed
