Semua Bab I Became His Sweetheart: Bab 671 - Bab 680

One minute later, the door was opened from inside.Jeffrey was still wearing a towel as he said coldly to Leo, who was still standing outside the room and looking awkward, “Mr. York, are you here with my uniform? I’m going to be frozen solid very soon. I won’t be able to help your family out!”“Here you go.”Leo handed Jeffrey the uniform without even turning his head.“She asked you to go in,” Jeffrey said to him, not turning his head as well.The door was left open. Leo followed Jeffrey into the room after a moment’s hesitation.Jeffrey walked into the washroom to get changed as Melanie awkwardly explained things to Leo. “Please don’t misunderstand. His leg was injured, and I was treating his wound just now.”“Hmm, right,” Leo said, his lips twitching.“Pamela could have sent a servant to deliver the uniform. Why did she trouble you to send it to us in person?” Melanie asked.She didn’t want to dwell on the subject. Her conscience was clear; what’s more, there was no need fo

Jeffrey didn’t get any reply from Maximilian thereafter.However, he felt that Maximilian’s lack of response was an indirect admissionGiven the fact that Joseph was already over a hundred years old, it was likely that he used to be a member of Tempest—he might even be one of its founding members.Jeffrey used to hear his grandfather talk about this organization when he was young. Apparently, its founders were eight sworn brothers who formed the organization to support each other, realize their potential, and jointly find success in the corporate world.These eight sworn brothers were geniuses in the corporate world who each came to the fore in their respective industries after less than two years of the organization’s establishment. They helped each other out, and even managed to monopolize various industries on a global level at one point.The story was getting clichéd.The eight sworn brothers who started off with great solidarity gradually stopped seeing eye to eye as issues

After Leo left, Melanie called Professor Turner and Gabriel. She was worried she might have a lapse in judgment and thought it was a good idea to seek others’ opinions.After hearing the entire plan, both Professor Turner and Gabriel had no objections toward it.“Leo has no reason to lie to you, given the circumstances right now,” Professor Turner concluded.“Right now is a golden opportunity for him to gain your support,” Gabriel added. “Bringing Harlow together down will naturally land both of you in the same boat.”“I don’t want to choose sides at this point, but carrying out this plan is necessary,” Melanie concluded rationally.“You hate Harlow, but do you also dislike Leo? Don’t you two share quite a good relationship?” Professor Turner asked.Melanie pondered for a moment. She didn’t dislike Leo, but she wasn’t exactly close to him. “We’ll see after I get to know him better. I always get the feeling that he’s hard to get close to,” she said.“Do you need me there to hel

“Linda! Are you insane?!”Although Harlow realized something was wrong, Linda’s hysterical accusations and disdainful yells frustrated him to no end. His neck flushed red as he glared at her in anger.Linda tilted her chin and said viciously, “What? Are you going to hit me? I dare you to!” Harlow glared at her, but didn’t dare to make a move on her.Linda sneered in disdain. “Look at the stupid thing you’ve just done! Just you wait, a good show will be coming up soon! I’ll see how you explain things to your grandfather and everyone else in the York family!”Meanwhile, Melanie sighed. She pursed her lips from listening to the couple arguing with each other through the bug.What was the point?Harlow had wanted to hurt her, while Leo wanted to plot against Harlow and Linda. Everyone was a victim of a scheme, and everyone wanted to be the ultimate victor. It just all felt so exhausting.At least, that was how she felt.She removed her heels, and reclined on the couch.Leo seeme

Jeffrey arched his brow. She was still that stubborn and sharp-witted woman he was familiar with.“Come with me.”He led the way ahead of her. “If we hurry, we might even arrive earlier than those people.”Melanie caught up with him and asked doubtfully, “How did you know about the secret passageway in the Yorks’ residence?” Leo led them through the secret passageway from the study to the perfume blending room once, but that was within the underground portion of the Yorks’ residence. Aside from that section of the passageway, she was clueless about all other routes.What’s more, Leo said that even the servants of the York household weren’t aware of the passageway routes, hence why he had to lead the way for them. It was evident that only a few key figures of the family knew the map of the secret passageway.However, Jefford looked like he was very familiar with it…“Maximilian told me about it,” Jeffrey said, not wanting to hide anything from her.“Maximilian?” Melanie was s
