“Ha!”Melanie smiled coldly.Give the man an inch, and he’ll take a mile!She retracted her stubborn expression and sneered. “I just didn’t want to waste all the risk I took for a few days. You died from an infection after I saved you... Then I shouldn’t have saved you in the first place.”Jeffrey’s eyes darkened as he flapped his wounded arm. He had bandaged it in a rush, so he didn’t properly sanitize it. He pursed his thin lips and agreed.Melanie led the way and walked around to the back of the party.“How did you know that there’s an infirmary here?” Jeffrey asked in shock. This was where he’d found the medkit just now.Melanie didn’t answer.In order to get closer to Derrick, who had asthma, she had specifically asked where the infirmary was, just in case.The two of them soon reached the infirmary.Melanie opened the medkit, familiar with its workings, and removed all the bandages that Jeffrey had put on himself. While she had an idea of what his injuries were like, it

There was excitement in Melanie’s eyes as Jeffrey’s heartbeat accelerated.This was the first time he told her that he wasn’t dead.He hid the excitement in his eyes and said, “Take me there and I can tell him that I’m Jeffrey Morgan. That I’m simply putting on a disguise as I stayed with the Yanceys.”“...!”Melanie was shocked.She believed that she was listening to fiction!“You must be mad, Mr. Jefford! Or do you think I’m mad?! How can this help you? Don’t you want to have a hold on the Yanceys?!”“It’s exactly because I want to take a hold in the Yanceys.”Jeffrey handled her suspicion well. “There’s a condition for my assistance. If we succeed, then you have to promise me that you’ll support me against Linda and her faction.”“Me?”Melanie smiled coldly. “What do I have that can assist you?”“Your relationship with the owner of the Windborough Estate,” Jeffrey answered.“What does this have to do with him?” Melanie asked, confused.“He’s extremely important to the Y

The owner’s grayish-white brows twitched. He didn’t expect that Melanie would know so much. “Seems like you know more than I thought. However, you only know half of it.”“What do you mean?”“The jade ring is half of a pair. Mrs. Yancey has been keeping one of them, and she has passed the other one to Jeffrey’s mom...”“Is there a meaning to separating the two?” Melanie asked.“Of course there is.”The owner started to explain. “When overseas, all the Yancey Group’s employees will need to obey the orders of the one with the jade ring as if they have met the confirmed scion. However, that’s to the outsiders. For insiders, the Yancey Group’s board will acknowledge the one with both jade rings as the true scion.” That was why Jefford wanted to get his support!Melanie finally understood the reason!But...“If this is so important, why didn’t you take this back to the Yanceys after so many years?” she asked doubtfully.The owner then nodded and explained...“Your suspicion also

Melanie didn’t like to hear Jefford expressing his care for her. His half-genuine tone made her feel uneasy, and so she used this chance to tease him, saying, “Seems like the bathroom is your favorite place.”“Not exactly.”Jeffrey knew that she wanted to run, and so followed along with her conversation and said, “If you want to blame someone, blame how the Yanceys like to renovate things to the point that the best path to use is through the bathroom.”He came closer and looked at her under the moonlight.Every time after she had to travel a long distance, she would look very pale. This time, he was even more upset as her face had become pale due to the cold.Melanie didn’t notice how he was looking at her differently. She grabbed the remote control on her bedside table and switched on a small night lamp nearbyAnd then, she grabbed a stack of documents that she had prepared earlier from under her pillow. She needed Jefford to become familiar with Jeffrey’s movements and habits.

This grandson of hers... Since when was he afraid of the sun? He was coming out with all these ridiculous things. Not to mention that the weather wasn’t too sunny, the matron couldn’t help but think.But it was exactly because of his chaotic nature that made even Linda unable to do anything to him. Ever since she took Jefford back, had Linda had temporarily stopped being so brutal against those of her own blood.“You’ve been spending so much time outside for the past few days. You’re so skinny now. Don’t forget that you just recovered,” the matron told him.“I know,” Jefford answered.Everyone in the room had initially been chatting, but the moment Jefford showed up, they all fell silent. Everyone was there enjoying the show of a grandmother taking care of her beloved grandson.After a while, Mrs. Hoffman, who was next to the bed, then reminded her, “Madam, Doctor Melanie is here too.”Only then did the matron raise her eyes and looked at the back. She then noticed Melanie and sa
