"I want to ask one more time. Are you sure you won't consider selling us even a little bit of the Oakmoss?" Melanie asked for the final time. Linda shot Melanie a disdainful look. "You can't get anything from the owner of Windborough Estate, let alone from me." "Alright, then." Melanie signaled for Gabriel's subordinate to take out a bag containing mud, and showed it to everyone present. "This was scraped off your bodyguard's car tire, commonly known as evidence," Melanie said. "Ultimately, the channel for Oakmoss lies in the owner of Windborough Estate. As far as I know, although you and him have reached an agreement, you haven't signed a contract yet, so there's still room for negotiation. What if the owner of Windborough Estate changes his mind and doesn't want to sell to you?" "How is that possible?" Linda's confidence was significantly diminished. She had probably realized what this bag meant. "In that case, I'll just say it straight." Melanie put down the evidence b

Melanie's gaze turned cold. "Why is it you?" Just last night at the Harbor City ball, she had clashed with Jefford. Why was he also here in Floravia, and at the same restaurant to boot? Melanie suddenly realized that the bodyguard who had hurriedly entered the restaurant just now to report to Linda was actually talking about Jefford. They wanted to capture him! Unexpectedly, he had hidden in her trunk. No wonder none of Linda’s bodyguards found him... "Give me a hand," Jeffrey muttered. He knew there must be someone watching nearby, so he tried his best to shrink back. "Why should I?" Melanie raised her hand threateningly. "There will be a reward." Jeffrey's eyes were determined, yet sincere. At that moment, she seemed to see Jeffrey's affectionate gaze again, and her heart softened once more. She sighed, and began to rummage through the trunk. "Hey." Jeffrey lowered his voice to stop her, afraid of being exposed. Melanie wasn’t moved, and raised her eyebrows threate

Jeffrey was dumbfounded. Yesterday, when he learned from William that Melanie was coming to Floravia with Gabriel to discuss the procurement channel for Oakmoss with the owner of Windborough Estate, he decided to follow her. He knew Linda was also there, and was worried about Melanie facing Linda's hostility alone. As a result, he arrived first and unexpectedly discovered that the owner of Windborough Estate was his father, whom he hadn't seen in many years. He had just learned this news, too. Because of his shock, he lost his bearings for a moment and exposed himself under Linda's surveillance, nearly getting caught as a result. This time, Linda was determined to monopolize the procurement channel for Oakmoss. Could Melanie really obtain the Oakmoss under such circumstances? Neither Quentin nor Linda would agree to it... Seeing his skeptical gaze, Melanie smiled confidently. "Don't believe me? Then just wait, Mr. Yancey. The Yanceys will give me the Oakmoss I need." Of

Melanie couldn't help but admit that what Jeffrey said just now was correct. Just now, she really did forget to resist... Now that she had reacted, she pushed him away and warned, “The female staff who came in just now is suspicious. Her muscles are well-defined, not something you can develop from cleaning rooms every day. How can you still play rogue at a time like this?” Jeffrey believed what she said. In such a high-end hotel, they wouldn't disturb a guest easily. The cleaning staff were well-trained and rarely made mistakes. No doubt, Linda had already suspected that he was hiding in Melanie's room. "I'm waiting for someone to pick me up," he replied. "It's been so long, and your people still aren’t here. They’re so inefficient. How can you still be so shameless to ask to be my ally? Are you trying to drag me along to be destroyed by our opponents together?" Melanie raised her eyebrows, mocking him. Jeffrey smiled bitterly. He had just received word that his people we

Filled with suspicion, Melanie replied, "I'll go down in a moment." After hanging up, she told the other three about the phone call. Gabriel was so anxious that he wanted to get up. "Let's end it here for today. I'll accompany you downstairs!" Melanie glanced at the time. The acupuncture was completed, and she began to remove the needles. Ten minutes later, Gabriel accompanied her downstairs. In the lobby, several people were waiting. The leader was indeed the same person they had met at the Windborough Estate. "Ms. Jones, the master would like to have a word with you," the man said. "Why?" Melanie asked straightforwardly. The Windborough Estate servant evaded the question. "The master's intentions are hard to guess..." Regardless of the intentions of the owner of Windborough Estate, Melanie knew she couldn't refuse this invitation as she was too curious about him. She nodded. "Please lead the way." Gabriel followed, but he was stopped by the bodyguards behind the
