“Will you wear that tonight?” Annie asked out of curiosity.“I will,” Melanie said with a sigh. “Jeffrey will be going to the dinner, too. If I don’t wear it, it’ll be obvious that I agreed to go just to anger him. He’ll never sign the divorce papers that way.”Jeffrey was going to the dinner too?Annie nodded. She felt more assured with Jeffrey accompanying Melanie to the dinner.Melanie put the box containing the gown and jewelry aside, and got changed into a casual set of shirt and long pants that was comfortable to move in. Very soon, she received a message from the Snow family’s private investigator. “Gabriel has entered the fragrance blending room.”“I’m going there too,” Melanie said to Annie.“Have you thought this through?” Annie asked, still concerned.“It’s fine. I have to actively enter the lion’s den instead of being a sitting duck,” Melanie said as she patted Annie’s shoulders. “Jeffrey’s men are also stationed nearby the fragrance blending room. Don’t worry.”

“You… Shut up!” Harlow yelled in frustration, with no way of refuting Melanie.“Why are you getting angry, Mr. Harlow? Did I say anything wrong?” Melanie’s voice turned cold, refusing to spare him.Everyone else understood what was going on and that everything turned out to be Harlow’s ploy.He wanted Melanie and Gabriel to be photographed together in the fragrance blending room, and deliberately created an opportunity to show the Yorks the footage so Melanie’s reputation would be torn to shreds.The Yorks knew that Leo was pursuing Melanie. If Melanie’s reputation was ruined, Leo would in turn become the butt of everyone’s jokes.The Yorks’ heirs were brothers, but everyone knew how insignificant brotherly ties were in the face of inheritance issues.“I’m sorry for ruining the mood. The dinner is about to start. Leo, bring Melanie here.”Joseph kept his gaze down, making it difficult to tell his mood right now. He finally urged Leo to bring Melanie to the dinner banquet after h

Another hand grabbed Harlow’s hand in midair. He struggled against the hold, and the realization that he was overpowered embarrassed him.“President Morgan! Why are you interfering?!” Harlow yelled at Jeffrey, furious.“Show some self-respect!” Jeffrey flung Harlow’s arm, and he winced in pain. Harlow glared at Melanie as he rubbed his arm. “I just don’t understand. Why does Grandpa like you so much, a social climber who’s still entangled with Jeffrey Morgan?”“Why don’t you ask him yourself if you’re so curious?” Melanie said coldly.“Hmph!” Harlow left in a huff, mumbling under his breath, knowing that he had no chance of taking advantage of Melanie.Jeffrey looked at Melanie. When Harlow raised his hand, he saw Melanie subconsciously protecting their baby. That meant that she wanted to keep the baby, despite her saying that she wanted to leave him…That meant he still had a place in her heart…Jeffrey was moved by that thought, and set his mind on being wherever she went

Kelly’s face darkened with displeasure when she saw how the tables had turned. “Mr. Leo, thank you for the gown and jewelry you gave me. Many guests praised me for them,” Melanie said, raising her voice deliberately.Leo smiled, and waved his hand. “You’re the one who accentuated their beauty. It’s a mesmerizing scene to see stunning jewelry worn by a true beauty!”“Jewelry pieces have collection value. I’ll return this set to you after tonight, Mr. York. Since you bid for and purchased it from an auction, I’m sure you like it very much. You should be the one keeping it,” Melanie said.“Huh? Why would I take back a gift that I’ve given?” Leo said, waving his hands profusely.“Alright, then,” Melanie went on with a smile. “I won’t put you on the spot then, Mr. York. Why don’t we make a promise to cooperate on the two Unraveling Enigmas perfumes? If the results aren’t stellar, I’ll gladly return you this jewelry, okay?”“You have a deal.”Leo’s eyes shone as Melanie reached out h

Melanie stood up, and followed the medical staff to the guest room on the first floor. The doctor had to treat Jeffrey’s wound, and outsiders weren’t allowed in.She stood outside anxiously. Very soon, all the bodyguards of Morgan Group were gathered outside, standing behind her and William while waiting for instructions.The butler was waiting outside, while the servants kept him constantly updated on the situation. Melanie could hear them saying that the attacker was a subordinate of Charles Miller, and that he had come to seek revenge on her…But she had no mental capacity to try to figure out what was going on. Her focus and attention were all turned to the door before her that was still tightly shut.Melanie finally heaved a sigh of relief when the doctor came out and informed them that Jeffrey wasn’t severely injured, and that his main artery wasn’t wounded. Jeffrey would be able to recover with some rest and recuperation.“Mrs…” William blurted out, almost making a mistake
