"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
"You've misunderstood." Melody turned to face Cyril. "Back then, Grandma had no choice but to abandon you in order to save you."Hearing this, Cyril paused, tilting his head back with a few hearty laughs."Melody, you truly are the dotted granddaughter of this old lady. You believe whatever she says. Abandoning me for the sake of saving me? What a touching and moving explanation! Try to make your expression a bit more sincere, and I might just believe it!" Malice ran rampant on his face."Abandonment is abandonment. No need to paint your sins with such noble colors."Seeing his disbelief and increased hatred, Melody pursed her lips, looking at him with a desire to speak but hesitated. Just as she was about to speak, her clothes were tugged by a hand. Looking behind her, Melody saw Linette gently shaking her head."Cyril..." Linette couldn't help but speak up to stop his malicious words.Cyril's face was full of mockery. "What, a couple of words about your precious granddaught
Seeing their firm attitudes, Melody knew she couldn't persuade them further; more words were futile. The group entered the appraisal room.After the paternity test was completed, neither Cyril nor John and Linette looked particularly pleased."The test results will take three days. Mr. Cyril, please stay temporarily at the Nolan family during this time," Melody said.Thinking of Cyril's previous actions, she did harbor some resentment. But considering his experiences, she also felt a sense of pity. As she spoke, she involuntarily made sure to be polite."You talk so nicely. Are you afraid I'll do something wrong again? Is that why you want to watch over me?" Cyril smirked, his face tinged with mockery.Melody's brow furrowed. Though that was indeed her intention, hearing it from him made her feel like she was the unpardonable sinner."I'm considering everyone's safety, given the things you've done before. It's only natural to be cautious of you." she replied calmly.He chuckled.
Melody stepped out, and knocked on the car window. After a brief pause, the car window slowly lowered, revealing Christopher’s face."Mr. Bolton, your recent visits to the Nolan family seem rather frequent, don't you think?" she asked coldly."How's your mood?" he replied, dodging the question."What about it?" She looked at him, puzzled.He gazed deeply into her eyes. "You found out the truth last night. Are you still upset about it?"Melody pressed her lips. After what happened yesterday, the emotions of those involved were all troubled. She didn't want to add to anyone's discomfort, so she was silently processing it alone.She thought she had hidden these emotions well, but Christopher seemed to have noticed. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.He got out of the car, and gave her a warm smile. "I intended to accompany you last night, but you all had family matters to discuss, so I stayed outside waiting.""Wait, you stayed in the car all night?" It was then she notic
Once again, the family fell into silence. Cyril smiled to himself, but his expression was uglier than crying."It's my fault, all my fault. I've harmed so many people. Turns out, I'm the one who's a complete joke," he murmured softly, followed by some unclear words no one could understand.Melody could see that perhaps due to the tremendous shock, his mental state had become somewhat abnormal."Mel, it's up to you how to handle this. You have the final say," Linette said, her eyes slightly red.Although she felt guilty towards Cyril, a mistake was a mistake, and she couldn't shield him. She didn't want Melody to feel disheartened, either.Cold determination flashed in Melody's eyes as she stated decisively, "He broke the law and should face legal consequences."She was determined to send Cyril to the police station. And so, she called the police in front of everyone.The atmosphere in the living room grew heavy. Melody went to the garden to relax.A set of footsteps followed be
Melody, vexed by their argument, cut them off coldly. "Stop wasting time bickering! If you're going, then go!"Seeing her expression, Albert and Christopher immediately quieted down.The private plane soon arrived, and the three of them boarded together. During the flight to Mrauca, Melody wasted no time, continuously reviewing information about Organization V.Sitting on either side of Melody, Christopher and Albert seemed somewhat displeased with each other. In the presence of Melody, they restrained themselves.The plane soon landed in Mrauca.Irwin was already waiting there. He hurried to Melody, looking tense. "Miss, what's the plan now?""We split up. You take your men and watch over Organization V's stronghold, while I'll go find the head of Modish Group’s supplier," she ordered swiftly."Understood."Once given the command, Irwin immediately led his men towards Organization V's base. Melody, with a few of her subordinates and Christopher and Albert, headed for Modish Gr
"It'm not. I wanted to ask him how the commercial shooting went," Melody said. She leaned back and closed her eyes tiredly.Albert was still jealous, but he didn’t disturb her rest.They went to the hotel where Irwin stayed. Upon returning to their rooms, Melody and Christopher received a strange text message at the same time.[Exchange Isaiah and Ethan with Bolton Enterprise, Nolan Enterprise, and Singh Corporation.]Melody went out to discuss with Christopher. As soon as she went out of her room, she saw Christopher coming out of his."I got a text message," they said in unison.Christopher turned sideways and opened his door wider, then raised his eyebrows at Melody.She pursed her lips, then walked into his room.Inside, she curled her lips and sneered. "It’s definitely Organization V. They’re greedy, alright!" Christopher sat on a chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest. The frequency was consistent with the pointer of the platinum watch on his wrist. A dark lig
Melody glanced at Irwin.Irwin got the hint. He immediately nodded in understanding. While Melody was talking with Melissa, he casually fiddled with his phone. In truth, he was instructing his men to look into the relationship between Cyril, Leroy, and Melissa.Melody asked carefully, "Why are you interested in Cyril?"Melissa smiled, but there was no humor in it. "I don’t have to tell you that." Melody frowned. She could only look for another way. While observing Melissa’s expression, she said casually to Irwin, "By the way, Irwin. Remind Leroy about the shooting today."She noticed a slight change in Melissa's expression when Leroy was mentioned.The next moment, the door burst open and in strode Lant. Melissa’s eyes flashed, and she suddenly said loudly, "That’s out of the question! Give me the shares of the companies, or they die!"Melody was stunned for a moment. What was wrong with Melissa?She glanced at Lant, who had already sat down, and frowned. This was confusing.
