Joseph smiled again. "Each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses. To be honest, neither of them is the best choice in my eyes. “First of all, the heir I want must understand fragrance and be skilled in blending scents, because this is the foundation of the York family. But they’re both not qualified. “Secondly, they must have offsprings. Alas, one avoids relationships with women and the other has a wandering eye. I don't have high hopes for them having descendants." "Your answer is equivalent to not answering at all," Melanie said bluntly. Joseph remained smiling. "You're right, but I'm also very helpless. I wish I could confidently tell you that I have a perfect heir in mind, but in the current situation, whoever ends up in my position will depend on their own abilities." Melanie frowned. "Are you allowing them to fight each other to the death? You're not stopping them, but encouraging them?" Was this the way to survive in the Yorks? By advocating bloodshed and e

"Having descendants and being skilled in perfumery. Who else could it be if not you?" Professor Turner continued. "That may be true, but…" Melanie pursed her lips. If it weren't for Professor Turner saying this, she really wouldn’t have thought about it. At that time, she only focused on winning Joseph's support or trying to find out his intentions. When it came to heirs, she had only thought of the two brothers, Harlow and Leo. She never considered herself. Moreover, she had never thought about inheriting any family business, especially since the Yorks weren’t her own family. Professor Turner seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and said, "After hinting at this, he talked about giving you the power to make decisions. Joseph is careful and experienced, so there must be a reason for this. If he intends to make you heir, what would you do?" "I refuse." Melanie shook her head subconsciously. "The reason I came to the Yorks was to help Jefford, and also to resolve my e

Yelena stepped out, and declared loudly, "Everyone, my father isn't feeling well and has just fallen asleep. He won't be able to see you for the time being," On the sofa, Robert squinted and stood up. "Miss York, we came today to see Mr. York for an important matter. Since he's sleeping, we can wait." Yelena didn’t give them any room to negotiate. “The doctor advised him to rest fully. Even if he wakes up, he may not be able to see you all.” "Well, that's a bit inconvenient." Robert shrugged, feigning helplessness. "Since Miss York is here, why not discuss it with her?" He added, "Miss York, you probably know that it's almost time for the annual perfume competition to take place. The committee needs to prepare in advance. Since Mr. York can't participate this year, we've come specifically to consult him. We want to see if he has any young talents in mind to recommend, as the chairman of the committee." The Yorks frowned. Ever since the Angle family’s name became well-know

Half an hour later, the car parked by the beachside.There were no luxury yachts in sight; only an old rowboat in disrepair, lying on the seashore crowded with seagulls.“Coo…coo…”The seagulls’ coos and their pure white feathers ruffling in the wind as they eagerly seek for food soothed Melanie’s furrowed brows. What a peaceful and soothing scene!“Here.”Jefford handed her something. She realized it was a paper bag overflowing with popcorn.She immediately understood what he meant with it. She opened the door, stepped out of the car and threw a handful of popcorn in the air. Hordes of seagulls immediately surrounded her.The corners of her lips lifted in a smile.When she was through with the bag of popcorn, Melanie smiled apologetically to a seagull that landed on her shoulders. Upon realizing there was no more food left, the bird eventually flew away.She turned around to see Jefford seated in that rowboat, looking at her with a smile.The ocean, the sky, the birds and th

After hanging up the call, Melanie’s racing heartbeat slowed down.Would he come to her rescue?Even if he does, would he be in time?Bam!Bam!Melanie could hear the hitman running in her direction, his hastened footsteps drawing near.She clearly had no time left…The gears in her mind shifted as she realized that she should call the Yorks for help. Her first instinct was to reach out to Yelena, but when she tried calling her, she realized that her phone received no signal.She didn’t know if it was due to the weak signal in this place, or if the hitman might have installed a signal jammer outside to stop her from getting help.Whatever it was, her call with Jefford just now was her only glimmer of hope…Melanie’s grip tightened over her phone as her heart fell.Thankfully, there were many storerooms in this area and all the doors were shut. With no idea of her whereabouts, the hitman would have to search through every room.She could hear the hitman opening and slamming
