Chapter 357 1 Admit That I Like Her After Jeffrey hung up the phone decisively, he instructed William to drive straight to the Perfume Blending Competition.
While on the road. Jeffreyâs phone rang again. He quickly glanced at it, and saw that it was Nathanâs number. Why was Nathan calling at this time?
Impatiently, he answered the call.
On the other end, Nathanâs voice sounded dark. âYour people are investigating me. When are you going to stop?â
âDonât you know why Iâm investigating you?â Jeffrey countered. âOr are you feeling guilty?â
âInvestigate if you want, but donât disturb my life!â Nathanâs voice turned colder. âBut I really didnât expect that you would come to this. Throwing away your pride to chase after a woman, and even going abroad?â
âIt seems youâre well aware of what happened.â Jeffreyâs eyes narrowed.
âPresident Morgan, with your reputation in the upper circles, how could I not know?â Nathan sneered. âI guess Melanie already knows that you approached her because of Emmaâs heart. Your plan has been exposed, but youâre still relentlessly pursuing her. If you still deny that you like her, I wouldnât believe you.â
âWho said Iâm denying it?â Jeffrey calmly refuted. âNow that Iâve realized my feelings, whatâs wrong with admitting it?â
âWhat did you say? You admit...liking the daughter of the enemy who killed Emma?â Nathan was dumbfounded.
âYou heard me right. I said I have feelings for her. Even if Melanieâs father killed Emma, Melanieâs innocent.
She didnât know about it.â Jeffrey calmly expressed his thoughts.
Nathan was on the verge of madness. âThatâs why you have no qualms falling in love with the daughter of your enemy?â
âWhat happened back then is still not clear.â Jeffreyâs tone was heavy.
âJeffrey, have you lost your mind?â Nathan roared.
âIf anyone has lost their mind, itâs you!â Jeffrey didnât back down. After saying that, he hung up the phone.
When Emma tragically died, he was severely injured and sought treatment abroad.
Overwhelmed with grief and physical exhaustion, he learned everything from Nathan himself...which made him hate the Jones family to the core.
However, in the past year since he returned to the country and heard about Tylerâs deeds, he felt that Tyler didnât seem like that kind of person.
There was a shadow of Tyler in Melanie as well. He had a firm sense of justice and medical ethics. He probably wouldnât take a life, even for the sake of his own flesh and blood...
143 +15 BONUS The phone continued to ring in Nathanâs ears. He angrily threw the phone at the door.
Startled, his subordinates, who were just about to enter, dared not approach. After a pause, Nathan shouted angrily at the door.
âWhat are you hiding there for?â
âMr. Quinn, our people have just found out that Melanie Jones is likely related to the Yorks.â
Only then did the subordinate step forward, handing the information they found to Nathan. Nathan looked at it.
and his eyes sparkled with determination.
No wonder Joseph paid special attention to Melanie during the Angle familyâs centennial celebration! Later when Melanie became a suspect in Charlesâ murder, the Yorks also stepped forward to help her.
So, Melanie had a hidden background.
âThe Yorks checked Melanieâs DNA, but the results donât seem to be as expected. Also, theyâre still unaware of Melanieâs heart surgery. Speaking of which, the Joneses are quite smart. They hid Melanieâs congenital physical defect for so many years. The heart surgery was done so discreetly that even the Yorks didnât find out.
âSomeone must have secretly helped the Joneses.â
Nathan squinted his eyes, and added slyly, âAlthough the Yorks donât know about these things, I do. Melanieâs olfactory talent and heart defect are inherited from her father. I heard Joseph was in love with a woman back then. They had a son in their old age, but that son went missing for many years. If you calculate the time, he just happens to be around the same age as Melanieâs father, Tyler.â
âSince the Yorks donât know these things, Iâll do them a favor and tell them. However, Iâll only tell one of them, Bring me my old phone at once. Iâll find the right time to call him.â
Him? The subordinate reacted after a second, asking in surprise, âMr. Quinn, didnât you break ties with him already?â
âI have no more feelings toward him, but I have my interests,â Nathan sneered coldly. âNow I can help him get what he wants, and he can help me deal with the Morgans and the Joneses. Heâs so clever, so how could he refuse?â
Melanie entered the fragrance blending room, spent half a day selecting ingredients and testing fragrances, and then spent another half a day officially blending the fragrance. It wasnât until a whole day later that she walked out of the fragrance blending room.
Although she felt relieved, her body clearly couldnât bear it. She felt dizzy and hungry.
As she walked out, she pulled down the zipper of her work uniform, leaning against the wall to catch her breath. Suddenly, she was startled by a manâs voice in front of her.
âWhy arenât you careful with your own health? Normal people canât endure a whole day without eating, let alone you!â

213 +15 BONUS Melanie took a moment to catch her breath, and straightened up. âPresident Morgan, passing by again?â
In a timely manner, Jeffrey handed over a supporting hand, but she evaded it.
âIf youâre just passing by, please, President Morgan, stick to the role of a passerby. The fragrance blending room is private, and not just anyone can enter,â she said unceremoniously.
âI sponsored this competition,â Jeffrey stated concisely.
âBeing wealthy is truly remarkable,â Melanie sneered, and walked ahead.
âTake it slow.â
Jeffrey followed behind her, not caring about her sarcasm, afraid that she might faint from low blood sugar. âll take you to eat something. Your health is important.â
