Semua Bab I Became His Sweetheart: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Lena put on a heavy layer of makeup concealing the paleness caused by her weakened state. She wore her sexiest dress as she boarded the yacht by the seaside.With the information Olivia gathered, Lena discovered that Michael had just arrived in Harbor City. Several wealthy businessmen from the city had already hosted extravagant parties for him, one of which was a sensual affair held at sea.It was an opportunity Lena couldn't afford to miss.Disguised as one of the party girls, she mingled on the yacht and located Michael amidst a crowd of admirers.After a few rounds of drinks, Michael was already half-drunk, surrounded by women. However, he seemed somewhat bored.Wearing a half-face mask reminiscent of an Egyptian queen, Lena, with a silver-white cane in hand, flaunted herself in front of Michael and successfully captured his attention.As the alcohol flowed, Michael approached her, attempting to touch her waist. Lena skillfully avoided his advances several times, leaving Mich

Michael clung to Melanie like a hungry old fox, his eyes roaming over her.Despite disliking her arrogance, he was captivated by her outstanding beauty and couldn't wait to embrace her."Mr. Brooks, I came here today to discuss a collaboration on perfume development. Have you seen Jones Enterprise's proposal?" Melanie deftly avoided his hands."Huh?"Michael waved his hand dismissively in front of her face. "Forget about those boring things. Meeting again must be fate. Let's go upstairs!""Mr. Brooks, the invitation clearly states that we're here to discuss a collaboration," she emphasized.Unsatisfied, Michael furrowed his brow. "What's this talk about collaboration? The Jones family has fallen so low as to sell their daughter. If you satisfy me tonight, I can offer you more than you could imagine!"Melanie chuckled coldly. While she wanted to discuss collaboration, he only wanted to take advantage of her."Our paths are different. I think we can't work together." She turned t

"Speak."Jeffrey's tone was impatient."I heard Michael's party is still going on, and his company has been bought. The original team is intact, except for Michael. Does President Morgan know about this?" Melanie asked casually, assessing Jeffrey's expression.Jeffrey's eyes showed no emotion, "What do you want to say?""I'm sure you know that Jones Enterprise is currently looking for a suitable manufacturing partner for the perfume line. I'd like to know who acquired Michael's factory." Melanie probed.Jeffrey looked up, his gaze intense. "Can't Jones Enterprise handle this on its own? I can't assist."Melanie pursed her lips, then changed the subject, "Do you know what brand of perfume you're using, President Morgan?"Jeffrey looked at her, his eyes showing increased impatience.Without waiting for his answer, she went on, "I caught scents like ambergris, bergamot, and cedarwood in your perfume. But pricier doesn't always mean better; it's crucial to pick one that suits you."

Melanie worked on her computer, tweaking the perfume development plan. At some point, tiredness took over, and she dozed off on the sofa. The next morning, she woke up to hear that Jeffrey had already left for work after finishing breakfast.Melanie got ready quickly and checked the stock market, pleased to see a sea of red for West Corp. Though she had made it known that the engagement would be called off, Bryan had been too overwhelmed to try to appease her. That suited her well, allowing her to focus on the perfume development.Heading to Jones Enterprise, Melanie instructed Mr. Lincoln to gather the top executives for a meeting to discuss the revised plan. However, the meeting was interrupted by Daniel and Lena.Lena, with innocent, bare-faced makeup, entered the room and bowed deeply, her voice trembling with a feigned apology, "I'm here today to apologize to all of you. My actions had a negative impact on the company. I'm sorry-""You're overthinking it," Melanie coldly

Melanie had a plan. When she returned to the dressing room, she found the gown and shoes labeled with her name and inspected the dress inside and out. However, she didn't find anything amiss.Melanie tried it on and felt nothing wrong, so she left.Only after seeing her in that dress did two women in the shadows breathe a sigh of relief and start talking."Do you think tampering with her dress was just loosening the shoulder straps or something?""I'm not that basic!"Another woman's voice, with a touch of arrogance, chuckled, "I stuck a nail in her shoe!""A nail? Won't she notice it quickly? What if she changes it before reaching the banquet hall?""I did it quite skillfully. I guarantee she'll feel the power of the nail bit by bit. It won't pierce the sole until it's time to dance. Then, let's see if Melanie can still be proud!" The woman triumphantly declared.Just as Jeffrey exited the elevator, he overheard the women's sinister plot. He narrowed his eyes, recalling th
