Chapter 388: Chapter 397

Chapter 397 The Tempest “Hmph.”

Harlow looked at Nathan’s strategies and tactics with contempt. It looked like what women would do.

But he had to admit... If Jeffrey really did become the Romeros‘ son–in–law, his supporters would include Morgan Group. That would almost guarantee his victory.

“Is that your only worth to me? Helping Luis to get a son–in–law?” Harlow questioned Nathan.

Nathan had already prepared the answer. “I wonder if you’ve heard of this organization called ‘Tempest‘?”

“The intelligence agency?” Harlow’s eyes lit up.

The Tempest’s reputation was well known internationally, and they had top assassins among their numbers. But they had been quite mysterious all these years. No one knew who they belonged to.

“My father left them for me. Otherwise, how could I know secrets that even Joseph doesn’t know? If we partner up, ‘Tempest‘ will be yours to command,” Nathan said with a smile.

Harlow narrowed his eyes. He didn’t expect the Quinns to be the leaders of Tempest!

“You’re so discreet, Nathan. I didn’t expect you to keep such an ace up your sleeve!”

“You’re teasing me, now.”

Nathan’s phone suddenly rang. He listened to the short audio message and gave his subordinate a few words before turning to Harlow and Luis. “That woman I’ve arranged has prepared everything in Jeffrey’s ward. She’s now going to have a little chat with Melanie. After this, Jeffrey and Melanie would never be together again.”

After finishing dinner, Melanie went back to her bedroom. She continued looking at the monitor as she hid under the blanket, and she looked at every frame without blinking.

Four in the morning.

Her mobile finally rang.

It was a message from Jeffrey. “My wound hurts.”

When she read the message, Melanie immediately got out of bed and went downstairs.

She didn’t change her outfit, because she knew there was no avoiding this trip to the hospital.

Annie was already asleep. Melanie put on outerwear and told the driver to send her to the hospital where Jeffrey was at. There were very few cars on the morning road, and they arrived at the hospital very quickly.

She rode the elevator to the VIP wards at the top!

She knocked on the door.

142 +15 BONUS After waiting for a while, the door was opened. The moment it opened, a dense perfume smell entered her nose. Melanie instantly felt uncomfortable in her stomach and looked at the person in front of her while covering her nose.

Jane was walking casually without wearing any slippers, as if she had just gotten out of bed in a rush.

Her hair was unkempt, and her makeup was ruined. Her lipstick seemed to have been smeared after doing something that everyone knew. She was wearing a loose bathrobe and her belt was casually tied, revealing her neck and a deep V–cut. Melanie could see that she was wearing nothing inside.

Melanie paused and asked, “You asked me to come here?”

“What?”

Jane opened her mouth in an exaggerated manner and started mumbling while looking at her innocently, “Just now, Mr. Morgan was in somewhat of a daze and forced himself on me...”

Ha...

Melanie smiled coldly.

She didn’t expose Jane’s bad acting. When she saw Jane step backward rapidly, Melanie pretended not to know anything and followed her in. She was still waiting for the things that Jane planned after this so that Jeffrey and she could start acting on the specially prepared stage.

Jane finally turned to a place where she could see the inside of the room.

At this time, Jeffrey’s voice rang. There was a hint of fatigue in his raspy voice. “Why are you still here? Didn’t I tell you to leave?!”

“How can you do that, Mr. Morgan? If you didn’t force me to stay, I wouldn’t have... And now you’re ignoring me after you have your pants on?!” Jane turned around and wept.

Back in bed, Jeffrey was wearing nothing and his hair was similarly unkempt...

If she didn’t know that this was a scheme, she would have easily believed what she had seen, Melanie thought to herself.

“What did you say?!”

Jeffrey roared angrily!

He threw the blanket away and got out of bed, topless. He yelled as he held his wound, “Leave! I don’t want to see you again!”

“How can you do this to me, Mr. Morgan? Do you think I’m just some woman that you can sleep with whenever you want?” Jane cried even more.

Melanie walked over and held the wall, pretending that she was losing her strength. When faced with such undeniable proof, she shouldn’t be without any reaction.

Just then, Jeffrey walked out of the bedroom and saw Melanie around the corner. He was instantly stunned. ”

Why are you here?”
