"He's in the country?" Melanie was curious. "He has no fixed residence. I can email him, but I don't know when we will receive a reply," Jeffrey replied. Melanie smiled. She felt that whenever Jeffrey mentioned this medical genius, his tone became involuntarily respectful, completely different from his usual decisive and ruthless style. It showed the magnificence of a lifesaver's halo. After a pause, she said, "When the fire started, I initially thought someone was trying to harm me. I thought it was probably Harlow. Later, after the child crawled out and was caught by the men outside, they threatened him, so I felt like they were targeting him. I'm not sure if it was orchestrated by Harlow. Moreover, that child is his son... "But now that my master has already caused a ruckus at the York family, this matter probably won't end well. I might as well take this opportunity to bring the evidence linking Harlow to the assassin at the banquet to Joseph York, and see how he handles it

The one questioning Melanie's score was none other than Aiden, the participant from Medonia who had created four fragrances with food flavors. As soon as the audience saw him, they began to whisper among themselves. Cyrus’s assistant muttered to Melanie, "He's just a sore loser! Last time, you publicly defeated him and said his fragrance didn’t have good middle and base notes. Now, he's just seeking revenge. Just ignore him!" Although Cyrus’s assistant said that, the organizers decided to display the scorecards given to Melanie by the judges. After Aiden saw them, he squinted and boldly stepped forward. "Look, everyone! The scores given to her show a clear polarization. Some are very high, while others are very low. Therefore, I question her receiving the second prize!" Melanie looked at the large screen projecting the scorecards, and blinked. Aiden wasn't wrong. She didn't understand why someone would give her such low scores. Seeing her remain silent, Cyrus’s assistant

Robert also stood up, taking the initiative to greet her. "Miss Yancey, when did you arrive? I thought you might not come..." After Robert agreed to be the main judge of the competition, he personally sent an invitation to Miss Yancey, hoping that she would attend. With her presence, the attention on the competition would undoubtedly double. Robert also wanted to take advantage of being the main judge to showcase himself in front of the international media. "I arrived late, so I snuck in. How could I disturb everyone?" Miss Yancey spoke self-deprecatingly, instantly silencing the entire venue. Melanie looked at the woman with a royal aura in the audience, her eyes full of suspicion. Cyrus’s assistant, thinking that Melanie didn't know who Miss Yancey was, whispered some information to her. "That’s Miss Yancey, the world's top luxury jewelry designer. No one dares to claim the top spot after her. She is an undisputed figure in the fashion industry!" The assistant secretly g

“Shouldn’t you congratulate me, President Morgan? It feels great finding a backer who’s even more powerful than you are,” Melanie said, grinning wickedly.She had a precious baby inside of her right now; Jeffrey couldn’t bear to say a harsh word to her, even jokingly. He admitted defeat, and turned back to ask William, “Is the orange juice ready?”“Right away, sir!”William had instantly transformed into a kitchen assistant, and hurriedly served Melanie a glass of orange juice without delay. “Mrs. Morgan, enjoy.”“Thank you.” Melanie sipped on the juice, and looked up at William. “It’s been tough on you, William. Your job description probably doesn’t include serving the president's pregnant wife, does it?”“Cough, cough.” William choked on his saliva, and responded in between coughs, “Please don’t say that. This is what I am supposed to do.”“You don’t need to fear him that much. Annie and I are best friends. With me around, you don’t need to be treading on thin ice with a desp

“What’s going on?” Cyrus asked. He instructed his assistant to switch to the news channel.Melanie summarized the situation for him. “Next month, Aiden and a few other perfumers from Medonia will be organizing a friendly competition in Harbor City in the name of sparring with fellow industry players from neighboring countries. They specifically mentioned my name, saying that they want to continue exchanging notes with me.”The issue had escalated quickly, and the phone call was quickly becoming a group chat.Cyrus’s assistant chimed in, “The news channel emphasized that the purpose of the friendly match is to blend fragrances in the simplest way possible. Participants shall bring their own ingredients, but they cannot bring more than ten of them and the total cost cannot exceed 150 dollars. How is that simple? That’s just cheap!”Melanie pursed her lips.The friendly match had yet to begin, but its promotional efforts were thorough. It seemed Aiden was worried she would ignore h
