Semua Bab I Became His Sweetheart: Bab 171 - Bab 180

However, things didn't go as planned.When Melanie hurriedly accompanied Cyrus to the garden that cultivated emerald vines, they were informed that someone had bought it all at a high price."All of them?"Cyrus became anxious, his beard bristling with anger.The shopkeeper nodded. "I'm truly sorry, Elder Gibson.""If you wanted a higher price, I could've paid! Any price would have been acceptable. But how could you not leave a single one for me? We've known each other for so many years! This is deliberate humiliation!" Cyrus raged.The shopkeeper looked distressed. "This year's situation is truly exceptional. The buyer has a significant background. They insisted on purchasing all of them, leaving none for you. I couldn't possibly keep any aside..."Melanie held Cyrus back from erupting further as she asked, "Sir, can you at least tell us who the buyer is? We might be able to contact them privately."The shopkeeper shook his head. "I genuinely don't know who it is. I'm not lyin

Melanie was taken aback as she turned around.Why was Jeffrey here?Wasn't this Willowfort?Staring at each other, the covert glints between Jeffrey and Nathan's eyes made Melanie feel as if she were still in Harbor City."You know Miss Melanie, President Morgan?" Nathan's lips still held a hint of a smile.However, Jeffrey's face turned ashen with a hint of disdain. "I do, more than you'd think."With that, Jeffrey reached out and pulled Melanie away, not caring that Nathan could hear him. "Don't make perfume for him."As Melanie followed closely behind Jeffrey, she asked, "Aren't you afraid he'll figure out our relationship?""Not afraid," Jeffrey replied coldly.What he truly feared was Melanie's involvement with Nathan.Once they reached a secluded balcony, Jeffrey released her hand. "Remember my words. Stay away from that man.""I understand."This time, Melanie was more compliant.Nathan seemed like a thorn in Jeffrey's heart. Since he feared the pain of that thorn,

Jeffrey was stunned.He watched in disbelief as Melanie was led away right before his eyes by another man, the two seamlessly making their way onto the dance floor. The man introduced himself, chatting animatedly while Melanie responded with approving smiles.Jeffrey's eyes narrowed. Throughout his life, everything he desired was almost within his grasp.Yet, at this moment, his own woman had publicly turned him down!Just then, a woman stepped in front of him, obstructing his view of them. When Jeffrey looked up, he found Lena standing there!He calmed down and extended his hand to Lena.Lena was absolutely flabbergasted!Nearly on the verge of tears, she eagerly took his hand.Lena had come over initially to taunt Jeffrey for being upset with Melanie. She wanted to drive a wedge further between Melanie and Morgan Group. So, Lena was surprised by this unexpected attention.Taking Lena's hand firmly, Jeffrey led her onto the dance floor. As they danced, his gaze seemed fixed o

While Lena dialed Daniel's number, her heart was still pounding irregularly with excitement.She relayed the unexpected encounter at the ball to Daniel. On the other end, Daniel and Lily listened and practically danced with joy!"Excellent!" Daniel exclaimed enthusiastically, "Rest assured, I'll make the arrangements immediately! You won't be embarrassed by tomorrow's banquet!""It's not just about not embarrassing me. It's about not embarrassing President Morgan," Lena replied, her tone playful and full of pride."Exactly," Daniel echoed in excitement, "I’ll transfer some money to you soon. Buy yourself some high-end clothes and jewelry. We can't let President Morgan look bad in front of his friends."After hanging up, Lily was both shocked and delighted. She asked, "Lena… really managed to catch Jeffrey's eyes?""We're meeting for dinner tomorrow. What's there to doubt?" Daniel shot a skeptical glance at Lily. "President Morgan not only agreed to dine but also entrusted me with

Daniel had never attended gatherings of the highest echelons, fearful that any sign of hesitation might leave a negative impression on Jeffrey.Aware that influential figures preferred tranquility, he had painstakingly decided to reserve an entire private floor, ensuring their uninterrupted conversations.Once arrangements were in place, Daniel instructed Lena to confirm the timing with Jeffrey's assistant.William had already received instructions from Jeffrey that today's dinner would follow Melanie's arrangements.He relayed this to Melanie, whose gaze was icy as she said, "There's no problem with the timing or venue. We'll go along with their plans.""Yes, ma'am."William passed on Melanie's response to Lena, and they could hardly contain their excitement! Daniel never imagined that Jeffrey would agree so readily, boosting their confidence even further.The banquet was set for noon, and Lena and Daniel arrived first.Taking in the luxurious restaurant, Lena exclaimed, "Dad,
