She felt her hands shake with anger, yet she managed to keep her composure and replied softly, âWhether heâs charming or not doesnât concern the Smith family in the least! Heâs Marcus and Iâs son, and he certainly wonât have anything to do with the Smith family.
â
Weldon got the hint.
If he tried to take Matthew by force, Melissa would ensure to involve the Fowlers.
Weldon couldnât help but sneer, his decades in business giving him a certain poise.
Melissa, on the other hand, seemed young and less experienced.
However, she showed no fear.
She reminded herself to stay strong for Matthew and herself.
With determination, she met Weldonâs gaze without blinking.
Feeling unsettled by her stare, Weldon finally stepped back.
Eventually, he got back into his car and drove off.
It was only then that the secretary sitting next to Melissa sighed and said, âThat was terrifying!
Mr.
Smith can be so intimidating.
Mr.
Scott, on the other hand, is much more approachable.
â
The assistant hesitated, then asked, âBy the way, how do you know Mr.
Smith?â
Melissa responded without showing any emotion, âHeâs my biological father, But apart from the sperm cell he offered, I have nothing else to do with him.
â
The secretary was left shocked by her words.
After a brief pause, she quickly changed the topic, saying excitedly,
âRegardless, your ties to the Fowler family could really come in handy!â
With a slight smile, Melissa whispered, âIt is.
â
The assistant paused before asking softly, âWhat about Mr.
Fowler? The companyâs been buzzing with rumors about you two, especially about Mr.
Fowlerâs ability in that aspect, you know.
â
Hearing this, Melissa abruptly stopped the car.
The secretary quickly stuck out her tongue and rushed to apologize, âIâm sorry, Miss Brown, I was just rambling.
Please donât be upsetâ¦â
After this incident, Melissa returned to the office.
She hadnât heard from Alan yet, but she wasnât worried.
From what she knew, if Alan had decided, he wouldnât take long to reach out.
In other words, no news could actually be good news.
It suggested Alan might be planning to invest.
Comforted by this thought, she pulled out her phone to check the latest news and noticed a message from Marcus.
âIâve heard through someone that weâre on good terms again.
Is it true?â
Melissa glanced at the text on her screen for a few moments before quickly deleting it.
