Philip's eyes darkened. Upon hearing Melody’s question, pain and struggle could be seen on her face.If possible, he wanted to keep this secret forever, but now, it was impossible to hide it anymore.He looked at Melody seriously, and said hoarsely, "Mel, we're cousins."Melody was stunned.Melody took a step back, and looked at him in disbelief, "What did you say? You're my cousin?"Linette never told her that!Philip saw Melody move away from him. Although he had been mentally prepared for it, his heart still ached when he saw Melody's reaction."It’s true," he said. It was too shocking for Melody.Philip looked at her shocked face; he was about to say something, when his phone rang. When he looked at the screen, disgust flashed in his eyes.He glanced at Melody. After answering the call, he switched it to speakerphone."Philip, where are you?!" Cyril's furious voice came from the receiver. "I let you approach Melody to harm her, not to protect her! I'm your father, so yo
Karls was still thinking about Lisa, and was a little absent-minded. He didn’t come back to his senses until Alice touched him."Huh?" He looked at Alice, confused.Alice shot him a helpless look, and explained everything to him again.Karls left it to Alice to decide. "Go ahead if you think it's workable." Karls and Alice left after they agreed on the cooperation.Melody turned around, and met Christopher's eyes."Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked, puzzled."Why did you suggest the cooperation? Is there anything wrong with the materials?" he asked doubtfully.Melody recalled the information Irwin provided. The former supplier had reached an agreement with Organization V. Not only would they stop supplying the materials to Nolan Enterprise, but they would also restrict other suppliers from supplying the materials to her company.So, she needed a new partner to import the materials.She told Christopher briefly about that.Christopher frowned. "A mysterious org
Christopher immediately stood up and left the room, intending to inform Melody about that.They met at the corner."My family is in danger!""Your family is in danger!"Both exclaimed in unison.Melody had run here all the way; her hair was messy, and she was panting hard. Before she had time to think about it, she immediately took out her phone to call Vincent.Christopher also called Luke, and instructed him to send more guards to protect the Nolan family.Melody curled her fingers together nervously. "Vincent, is everyone okay? Are you hurt?" Vincent's voice came from the receiver, mixed with the background sounds of other family members talking. "Don't worry. I had a bad feeling about the culprit, so I brought everyone to a safe place."Melody was relieved. Fortunately, they were safe."Thank God." Melody breathed a long sigh of relief and cast a reassured look at Christopher, who also looked nervous."After we evacuated, our home was attacked by men in black. The culpri
Melody extended two fingers onto the screen, enlarging Cyril’s figure several times.Her gaze settled on the hands behind his back and the closed feet. How could someone maintain the same posture for so long?Lisa's words echoed in her ears. Cyril never performed this action. Her eyebrows furrowed. Could this man not be the real Cyril?Melody quickly spoke into the earpiece, "This man's habits don't quite match Lisa's description. I think he might not be your father."At the words, Philip stared in shock at the figure of his father ahead. He took several large steps, only to find a featureless mannequin. He froze in place.Melody and Christopher, through the camera on Philip's clothes, also saw the true face of this person. They hadn't expected Cyril to use a dummy to deceive them. Where could the real him be right now?Philip frowned, his face tense. He groped around the mannequin. In its lining, he found two small devices emitting sporadic blue lights. Presumably, one was the s
Melody intended to pull Christopher and Philip down, but she felt both of them holding onto her at the same time. Together, they jumped from the plane.At that moment of descent, Philip noticed that Melody was facing Christopher, who was protecting the back of her head. Witnessing this, he looked desolate and released his grip.All three fell to the ground together.Melody's head was shielded by Christopher, so she didn't feel any pain. She emerged from his embrace, breathing lightly. "Are you okay?" she asked."I'm fine," Christopher replied, lips slightly curved.Hasty footsteps echoed. Immediately, the three became alert, swiftly getting up and looking towards the source of the sound.Alice, watching them rise from the ground, appeared puzzled. "What's going on with you guys?"Melody noticed Alice's abnormal expression, and asked, "Princess Alice, you don't look well. What happened?"Alice looked ashamed. "Sorry, Miss Nolan. While you were all at the airport, my father sec
As soon as the plane landed, Melody took Lisa to meet Cyril's mistresses. In just half a day, Lisa's love vanished completely.Seeing her saddened, Melody said, "A man like that isn't worth your devotion. I have a way to make him honest and stop him from harming other women, but I need your help.""What do you need me to do?" Lisa's eyes, devoid of the earlier despair, were now filled with hatred and anger.Seeing her finally awaken completely, Melody smiled with relief. She had saved the love-stricken brain; all the effort had not been in vain.Melody smirked, and said mysteriously, "First, you need to arrange a meeting with him.""Okay."Without hesitation, Lisa took out her phone and dialed the number she had long since memorized by heart. The phone rang for a long time before someone picked up."What is it?" a familiar voice said.Listening to that familiar voice, Lisa covered the receiver, took a deep breath, then flashed a smile."Cyril, I miss you. I want to see you,"
As the abrupt ringtone echoed, Melody had an unsettling premonition. While silently praying that nothing else would go wrong, she reached for her phone.Seeing that the call was from Ethan, she relaxed and answered.Through the receiver came Ethan's carefree laughter. "Miss Nolan, long time no see."She leaned back on the sofa, and gently massaged her temples. "Yes, indeed, it's been a while."After a brief exchange, Ethan cut to the chase. "Have you figured out a solution for Modish Group?" Melody shared the agreement between Modish Group's former supplier and the Organization V with him."I have some free time lately. Why not let me handle this matter?" Ethan offered.Seeing his initiative, Melody hesitated for a moment. She was currently stretched thin. Entrusting this to Ethan might work, but the Organization V's methods were too sinister and unpredictable. It was too dangerous for him to handle this."I'm also a partner in the new energy project. Miss Nolan, do you undere
"I never expected to fall into the hands of the Nolan family in the end. It truly is a disgrace to me!" Cyril burst into mad laughter.Suddenly, the sound of a helicopter came from above.Melody and Cyril both glanced out the window at a helicopter parked outside.Observing this, she couldn't help but twitch her lips inwardly, thinking, that this man was exaggerating too much. She had instructed Christopher to bring people to subdue Cyril's men, but she hadn't anticipated such an elaborate setup, even involving a helicopter. Was it because they feared she couldn't handle Cyril, so they sent a helicopter specifically for her?Thinking of Cyril still under her blade, Melody quickly redirected her gaze back to him, her eyes carrying a hint of mockery. "Throughout your scheming, did you ever consider that the past was just a misunderstanding?""A misunderstanding? Don't deceive me!" he exclaimed.Seeing his sudden change to a fierce expression, Melody remembered Philip and sternly
Luna nodded solemnly.Levian smiled, and rubbed her head. "Thanks for considering. I appreciate it."He took out his phone, and typed something.Luna watched curiously, and leaned forward to take a look. She was stunned when she saw that he had posted their photo on Facebook.She said quickly, "Delete it before they see it!"She regretted telling him that.Levian put the phone back into his pocket, and hugged her. "Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry."Luna understood his intentions, and said nothing."I promised you I'll never let you down. That's not the reason for you to be my secret lover. I don't have to please my fans. I'm rich. I'm a professional racer, not a gigolo."Levian words sounded so sincere, Luna was touched. She raised her head to look at him, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his lips.Levian was stunned. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled. "You amaze me, Luna.""Huh?" Luna looked at him confusedly."You’re brave enough to kiss me now."She blush
The sales assistant grabbed the old lady’s hand, and demanded, "You must pay for this dress!"Levian grabbed the sales assistant's wrist, and threw her to the side. The sales assistant staggered a few steps away due to the force."That’s not how you should talk to an elder."Luna stood before the old lady, and looked at the sales assistant coldly.The commotion attracted the crowd. The sales assistant looked panicky."It’s none of your business!" the sales assistant yelled, staring angrily at Luna and Levian.Luna blocked the old lady from the sales assistant's sight.The sales assistant observed them, and said sarcastically, "Tourists, huh? Mind your own business."Levian stared coldly at her. The sales assistant was frightened by Levian’s gaze."It seems your parents didn't teach you good manners. I don't mind teaching you today," he said coldly.The sales assistant shuddered. She had seen all kinds of people in the store, and could feel the pressuring aura of Levian.Her
Luna and Levian saw him, and smiled.After noticing their gaze, McCain's expression returned to normal. He walked toward them casually."Luna, did you sleep well last night?" he asked with a gentle smile.Luna was disgusted by his smile, and responded coldly, "Yeah."Levian grinned playfully, and said, "How about you? You looked tired."McCain’s smile froze. He looked a little panicky, and made an excuse to leave. "It's almost time. Let's find our seats."He left quickly afterward.Luna stared at him coldly. McCain looked weird to her."Why are you staring at him? Charmed?" Levian asked. He seemed jealous.Luna looked at Levian, and smiled, "Yeah, by you."Levian’s smile widened.McCain left the building and called Matt, but Matt didn’t answer. He gripped the phone, tightly and cursed under his breath.-A spotlight shone on a man, who walked to the stage under applause.Luna also clapped."That’s Gerald Bell, the president of Bell Group, the leading Group in Franconia,"
Luna opened the door, and saw Levian leaning against the door frame with a helpless expression."What's wrong?"Levian shrugged. "The door lock of the smaller bedroom is broken. I can't get in."Luna glanced at the smaller bedroom, then looked at Levian suspiciously. "You didn't break it, right?"Levian immediately retorted, "Of course not!"Luna stared at him doubtfully.Levian touched his nose, and said in disappointment, "I'll take the sofa, then."Luna pondered, and whispered, "The master bedroom is enough for both of us."She couldn’t bear to let Levian sleep on the sofa in the living room. Besides, she trusted him.Levian smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead. "Thanks, Luna."Luna blushed, and her heartbeat accelerated. She was curious, how did Levian know that?Levian put his arm on Luna's shoulders, and entered the master bedroom."You go take a shower first," he offered."Okay."Luna walked to the bathroom with her clothes. Not long after, the sound o
Benito looked at Juan, and winked at his subordinates. His subordinates walked toward the Hellers."I want to know who sent them," Benito commanded in a deep voice.The Hellers were terrified, and spilled everything.One of Benito's subordinates walked to Benito. He nodded politely to Levian, and reported in a low voice, "A man named McCain sent them."Levian's expression changed.He knew it!"What should we do with them?" Benito's subordinate asked.Benito looked at Levian, and asked, "Levian, what do you say? I can keep McCain under custody.""Teach them a lesson, and make them cooperate," Levian said with a dangerous grin. "As for McCain, I have a plan for him."He looked at Luna in the car. McCain would never take the risk if he actually had feelings for Luna and cared for her. He wondered if he was McCain's target, or if this had something to do with the business summit."Okay," Benito said. He turned around and commanded his subordinates, "Take care of them and make the
The cemetery was ahead."Levy, they slowed down," Luna said. She frowned, confused.Levian quickly turned the steering wheel, and made an emergency 180-degree turn.Luna quickly grabbed her seat belt and closed her eyes after seeing the bright lights from the car tailing them. She then looked at Levian in confusion, wondering what he was up to.She was terrified when she saw Levian drive toward that car. They were going to collide! Suddenly, she heard a sharp friction sound, and both cars passed by each other.Levian turned the steering wheel again and circled around that car.He smiled and assured Luna, "Don't be afraid, Luna. Everything will be fine. Trust me."Immediately, Luna was calm.The driver of the car tailing them seemed irritated by Levian's provocation; he sped up, and tried to slam into their car.Levian grinned; he sped up as well, and drove away from that car.The driver seemed to realize something; he quickly slowed down, and turned around to drive out of the
Luna carefully poked Levian's arm.He grabbed her hand, and quickly pulled her toward him, "I'm your boyfriend."He gritted his teeth. No one knew how much he wanted to punch McCain when he saw that slimeball approaching Luna.Luna grinned, amused. "He's just a friend. You're my sweetheart."Levian was the best! No one deserved her attention except him.Hearing that, Levian was pleased and smiled. He put his hand against Luna's palm, their fingers intertwined.The driver suddenly braked when passing through an alley, and their bodies leaned forward."What happened?" Luna asked. She looked anxiously at Matt, the local driver she and Levian hired."Something ran through just now," Matt explained while unbuckling his seat belt. "I wonder what that was."He left the car and walked around.Luna heard a meowing, and saw a black cat pass by. She pointed in the direction, and asked, "Was it that cat?"Matt looked in the direction of her finger. "I don't see any cat. Probably a stray
Levian looked handsome and gentle under the spotlight. He took the microphone, and said slowly, "It's my honor to deliver my speech today. This summit brings together business talents from all over the world..."Levian kept his eyes on Luna as he spoke, and she concentrated on his speech.They noticed each other's gaze, and smiled.McCain tried to chat with Luna but noticed her gaze. He bit his lip, jealous. He quickly took his phone, and showed it to Luna, "Hey, Luna, I found the emails."Luna was too focused on Levian's speech, so McCain’s interruption annoyed her. She grabbed it, and read the emails. While Luna was reading the email, McCain looked at Levian and smirked. Levian's expression changed, and he spoke faster.Luna briefly read two emails. They were McCain's remarks about music, and how much he missed her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn’t find any confession.Still, she was a bit moved by the memories. She returned the phone to McCain, and said, "Than
Levian and Luna turned around, and saw a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes."You look so beautiful today! It took me a while to recognize you."He observed Luna as he spoke.Luna frowned, uncomfortable with his gaze, and asked politely, "Do you know me?"That man was a stranger to her."Oh, don't you remember me?" The man clutched his chest as if he was hurt, and sighed. "I'm McCain. We were in the same music camp for three months, when you were seventeen."Luna thought for a while, and finally remembered him. She nodded, and smiled politely. "Oh, yes. It’s nice to meet you again.""I'm so glad I come. It's good to see you again." McCain smiled happily.Levian stared at McCain with a frightening expression that hinted at anger.Music camp, huh?He could sense McCain's intention.Luna noticed Levian's expression, and said to McCain politely, "The party is about to start. Let's take our seats."She wanted to leave, but McCain blocked her way. "I missed you so much. I l
