Chapter 343 Shut Her Mouth The footsteps at the entrance were very light. Jane felt her heart thumping, feeling terrified. In the end, she simply covered herself in the blanket.
âWhere is she?â
Suddenly, there was a womanâs voice.
Jane was somewhat suspicious while she stayed under the blanket. In the end, she couldnât help popping her head out of the blanket. The woman that came in was standing right at the bedside, staring at her without much expression on her face.
âMelanie Jones?!â
Jane said in shock.
âYou know me?â Melanie asked with her eyebrow raised.
Jane realized that she had misspoke, quickly sitting up as she tidied her hair and said without being forced, âI drank a little wine just now and wasnât feeling well, so I came up here to rest.â
âI didnât ask why youâre here.â
Melanie walked around calmly and looked at her judgingly with a smile. âWho are you?â
âIâm Jane Kelley.â
âAh, I remember you. Youâre that staff from Morgan Group thatâs in the gossip with Mr. Morgan, right?â Melanie confidently asked her.
Jane was getting even more nervous. She could only nod and shake her head after getting caught by the actual girlfriend.
âTo think that you can get drunk, come up here to rest, shower, and even change your clothes at the party organized by Mr. York.
Looks like youâre not just a simple staff from Morgan Group,â Melanie said quickly as she walked closer, questioning her.
âNo, no... I...â
Jane didnât know how to answer her. On one hand, she feared Nathan. On the other hand, Melanie, who was standing in front of her, was similarly forceful. She didnât have the time to think of an answer at all.
âHow do you know me? Through Jeffrey?
âAnd the scent on you is the Purple Lapis, isnât it? What a coincidence. I believe that itâs the ladyâs fragrance that he said he liked in a past interview.â
âNo... Itâs a coincidence... Really just a coincidence...â Jane mumbled.
Melanie smiled coldly. âAll the coincidences in this world are made up through someoneâs hands. I donât believe in coincidences.
Now... Tell me, why are you getting close to Jeffrey?!â
+15 BONUS âItâs because... I think heâs handsome... And rich...â
At this time, Jane remembered one of the questions that she prepared with Nathan. If someone saw through her ploy, she needed to pin all the blame on herself. She still remembered that.
âIf you wanted to seduce Jeffrey, then you wouldnât have been hiding under the blanket when I came in. You would have been sitting by the bed in a seductive pose.â Melanie instantly revealed her lies.
Jane started to get anxious and cried.
âWho sent you here? Tell me. I wonât make it difficult for you. Trust me.â Melanie finally softened her voice for once since she stepped through the door.
Jane looked at her, sobbing. When she saw the sincerity in Melanieâs eyes, her sobs stopped.
âTo be honest...â
Jane had just wanted to say something when there was a beep at the door, and it opened again. Leo quickly ran in, and his voice filled with urgency. âMelanie? Why are you here? Iâve been looking for you everywhere.â
âOh? Well, I was feeling a bit uncomfortable, so I came up here to look for a room to rest,â she said as she turned around, her eyes cold.
âThis is...?â
Leo looked at Jane, who was crying on her bed.
âI saw her here. She said that sheâs feeling uncomfortable and resting here. Maybe sheâs feeling very sick. Can you get her a doctor?â Melanie spoke without emotion.
âSure.â
Leo turned around and ordered his servant before asking, âWhat about you? Do you need a doctor too?â
âIâm fine. Iâm just feeling a little nauseated. Iâm much better now.â
Melanie gave him a dry smile and said, âSince you personally came looking for me, letâs go down.â
Leo extended his hand toward her in a gentlemanly manner, letting her go first as he followed behind her. âYou should see a doctor too, even if itâs just some nausea. It must be because you forgot to eat again. Remember not to bear everything yourself when youâre uncomfortable.â
âDonât worry. When it comes to nausea, itâs sometimes not something biological, but psychological,â Melanie said icily.
