Chapter 11 An Exchange

As a familiar voice rang in Melody’s ears, the warmth of the man's chest and the faint scent of his white dress shirt enveloped her five senses. Lifting her head, she saw the man's sharp jawline. Under the bright light, it looked even more defined. There was a dashing smile on his face.In that very moment, the figure in her memory slowly merged with the man before her…She smiled, surprised. "Albert! What brings you here?" The young boy had already grown into a tall, handsome man. Now, she had to lift her head just to look him in the eye.Albert was practically the embodiment of elegance and youth. Melody couldn't help but caress his face. However, her gesture served to enrage Christopher even more."Don't worry, Mel. I'm here. No one can hurt you now." Albert shot Christopher a dirty glare, looking cautious as he held her closer to him."Aww! You really have grown a lot!" Melody cooed.She was a bit tipsy, so she was acting differently from her usual calm self. She smiled b

Chapter 12 A Young Yet Wild Mind

The next day, Melody woke up with a splitting headache. Scratching her messy hair, she scanned at her unfamiliar surroundings as she tried recalling the events from last night.'Did I black out from drinking?'Her mind was blank as she tried retracing her steps. She knew that she went to a club last night, and went dancing while feeling tipsy…Suddenly, her eyes widened. 'I bumped into Christopher last night, and I slapped him on the face too!'Hell yeah!'I loved him so desperately for so long, but I never fought back! Slapping him sure felt good!'And it was so funny seeing how pissed he looked! I still want to laugh about it now!'Just then, her phone started ringing, interrupting her thoughts. Glancing at the phone next to her pillow, she noticed that she had over a hundred missed calls from Irwin."Boss, why didn't you wait for me before leaving yesterday? Where are you now?!" Irwin sounded quite anxious, as he couldn't find Melody after receiving a call last night.Wai

Chapter 13 One By One

Albert was about to strike, but a hoarse male voice sounded through the air."Boss, I finally found you!" Irwin cried. His eyes were slightly bloodshot, a messy stubble around his mouth. It wasn't obvious that he hadn't gotten a wink of sleep.Albert narrowed his eyes slightly, and he grabbed Irwin by the shoulders. "I didn't expect you to still be around Mel, Irwin."He was actually quite upset that his alone time with Melody had been interrupted, especially since the opportunity was rare.Before Irwin could reply, Albert immediately turned to look at Mel with teary eyes—like a puppy that had just been abandoned. "Are you going back already, Mel?"Seeing him like this, Melody's heart melted in an instant. She subconsciously caressed his hair. "Be good and wait here. You can move in with me once I've taken care of some things.""Okay!" Albert nodded obediently upon hearing this.He let go of Irwin and held Melody's hand, and said sincerely, "I'll be very good and wait for you, M

Chapter 14 Kicked Out

Faced with Melody's cold gaze, Belinda couldn't help but wince.It had only been three years, but the Melody before them had changed entirely. Although she hadn't changed much appearance wise, her menacing aura was enough to intimidate Belinda.She smiled warmly. "I wanted to keep it, but you have no idea how many insects have plagued the place during the warmer seasons! I didn't have a choice but to take it down. We couldn't possibly let those bugs mess up a beautiful house, right?"Melody scoffed. 'Bugs? How could she even come up with such a poor excuse. Doesn't matter. I'll make them pay soon enough.'"Fine, then let me ask you one thing. Who allowed you to move in here?" Melody sat down on the sofa elegantly, awaiting Belinda's response. "Well…" Belinda rubbed the back of her neck gently. "You went missing, and your parents died in an accident, so that means this wonderful place would be empty. Don't you think it's a waste? Your mother's relatives are all living abroad anywa

Chapter 15 Mr. Bolton Would Like To See You

A lot could happen within three years.Melody lost her memories after an accident on her cruise ship, and her parents were soon met with a car accident.When she found out about the news of their passing from Irwin, she herself couldn't believe it at all. That was, until Irwin showed her their forensic reports. Only then was she able to gradually accept this new reality. For the past two days, she had been acting nonchalant just to hide the pain in her heart.Now, Melody's entire body quivered as she caressed the photo. Whenever she closed her eyes, all she could think of were her parents’ corpses, burned beyond recognition. She couldn't fathom how much torture they endured during that time, nor did she dare to imagine how they handled the news of her cruise ship exploding. 'They probably felt like their world was crumbling before their eyes.'Now, despite having returned, everything changed.Melody balled her fists tightly, her eyes bloodshot as she clenched her jaw. 'I'll

Chapter 16 Everything Went Wrong After He Divorced

Luke swallowed. Cautiously, he reported in a shaky voice, "Three years ago, Ms. Melody appeared in Chinoria out of nowhere. She doesn’t have any relatives, and our background investigation of her resulted in nothing. We’re still working on it, sir."Christopher was displeased. Turning to Luke, he snarled, "You’re disappointing!""I’m so sorry, sir."Luke was trembling, but he had to continue the report. "Also, we need your authorization regarding the continuation of our project with Nolan Enterprise."Christopher frowned.When the ex-president was still alive, Nolan Enterprise and Bolton Enterprise had several projects together. After the man passed away, Nolan Enterprise fell into a mess. The current president made massive changes in the company management, and all their collaborative projects weren’t extended. Christopher wondered if things had changed, now that a new president had risen."How’s Nolan Enterprise now?"Luke quickly replied, "Ms. Nolan has regained control o

Chapter 17 Regretted After Divorced? No Way!

Christopher’s voice was a low whisper. "Grandpa, I have work to do...""Work?” Jonathan roared. “Bah! Stop making excuses! Get back here now! Cough, cough, cough..."Jonathan hung up. Forced to face his grandfather, Christopher felt himself growing weary.The moment he reached the Bolton Manor, his mother Olivia greeted him with a smile."Good job, son! You’ve made the correct decision. That Melody is no good, no good at all. A poor woman like her can’t possibly be the honorable Mrs. Bolton!" she said happily.Christopher frowned.He had seen with his own eyes how harsh his mother had been to Melody for three whole years. He was quite impressed with Melody—no matter how cruel his mother was to her, she never complained or went against his mother’s will. She had acted with perfection."Mom, Melody did a great job as my wife," he said.Olivia was startled to hear it, and looked at Christopher in disbelief. She didn’t expect her son to refute her.Still, she didn’t dare to argu

Chapter 18 I’m the President

Christopher nodded, satisfied.Seeing Christopher’s mood getting better, Luke went on, "Sir, what should we do in response to Ms. Talia’s interview? The world and the media are paying attention to her now. Some shareholders are unhappy with its impact on Bolton Enterprise, and may go after her. Shall we warn Ms. Talia about that?"When Luke mentioned that, Christopher grew irritated."No, I prefer the direct approach," he said. Luke went silent; he knew Christopher was furious with Talia. He prayed Christopher would show her some mercy. -Melody knew nothing about the conversation between Christopher and Jonathan. If she did, she would’ve put up fireworks to celebrate. The next day, she went to work as usual.Melody knew very well that there were many complicated affairs in the company and that it was impossible for her to correct everything in a short time. Although most people were terrified and seemed to obey her, they didn’t respect her. Nolan Enterprise had been under B

Chapter 19 She Slayed

Melody was startled, and hesitated. She wanted to tell Frederick everything, but she didn’t know where to begin.She pursed her lips, and clenched her fists."It's a long story. Let’s talk about it next time. “I need your help, Frederick. Nolan Enterprise is facing a great challenge because of Benjamin and his minions. I want to bring it back on the right path—in fact, I want to bring the company to the next level. I have to keep what my parents have achieved! “I know you were forced to resign. Even though I’ve regained control over the enterprise, the majority of them don’t respect me. I need someone competent to assist me. I can only trust you! Will you help me?”Frederick was touched by Melody’s sincerity. He was ecstatic. He had been waiting for this moment for two years!"Your wish is my command, Miss!" he declared.Melody was relieved to hear his promise."I’m sure you suspected someone was behind the tragedies, too. I want them to pay for what they did. I need your a

Chapter 20 How Bad Could He Be?

Victor immediately panicked. Seeing as Melody wasn’t saying anything, though, he assumed she hadn’t heard him.He smiled, and asked her politely, “Going down, Ms. Nolan?”Melody ignored him, and glanced at Benjamin.Benjamin noticed her stare. He smiled, and pressed the elevator. "Your father would be very proud of you if he’s watching you from heaven."Melody thought differently. ‘If my father really is watching from heaven, he’d kill you, or maybe go after you in your nightmares!’"This is Nolan Enterprise. Instead of getting me more assistants, why don’t you put more effort into generating revenue? You’re paid to work. I hope you’ll keep this in mind," she said. The smile on Benjamin’s face froze. Melody’s rudeness made him seethe. He was sure she was incapable—he couldn’t wait to see her fail!At the same time, Albert was sitting by the window of the foyer. He attracted a lot of attention.Dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans, he was the picture-perfect image of a beautiful
