Chapter 399 Her Reversal Jane saw that he looked extremely cruel, and was even scarier than Luis and Nathan. With a mumble, she said, âI simply took a picture while posing with him. Jeffreyâs injured... So, I canât really...â
âAnd you cared about him?!â Harlow gave her a mocking stare.
âIs Jeffreyâs wound quite bad?â
Nathan asked, âMorgan Group had hidden the news of him getting injured, and despite all my men in the Yorks, they didnât get any pictures of his injury.â
âIf you ask me... Itâs quite severe...â Jane answered carefully.
âDid you get a picture of his injury?â Luis asked.
Jane nodded. âI did. I took it all.â
âVery good. You performed admirably well. Youâll be rewarded.â Nathan smiled.
âNot only will we be able to make Jeffrey leave Melanie, but we can also make the pictures of his injuries publicly available.
Jeffreyâs public image had always been a cripple in a wheelchair. Now that heâs injured again, the Morgan Groupâs shares will be affected. Harlow, we need to take advantage of this and the Morgan Groupâs moment of weakness!â Luis cracked a smile, smiling like a bandit.
âAre you sure that Melanie had completely given up on Jeffrey?â Nathan started to probe into the details.
Jane nodded. âShe was mad. Jeffrey tried to get to her twice, but she avoided him both times. I also left some lipstick marks on him, so even if he tried to explain it, Melanie would never believe him.â
âAlright. Leave.â
Nathan waved his hand and told Jane to leave.
The three of them chatted for a little while more.
Harlow was the first one to leave the restaurant. And then Luis left, leaving Nathan alone in the private room to have a drink.
Behind him, his subordinate said, âSir, this Harlow isnât a good person. He didnât have an ounce of respect when he spoke to you earlier. But the moment he heard that youâre in control of âTempestâ, he instantly changed his tone. Such hypocrisy.â
âHmph.â
Nathan snickered coldly. âHow many of those that succeeded in the business world arenât hypocrites themselves? Itâs just that Harlow is much more obvious than the others. Heâs just a simpleâminded pawn. One day, weâll have no use for this pawn. Let him have his fun for now!â
âSir, after youâve reestablished connection with that person, heâs still somewhat suspicious of Melanieâs identity. Heâs still investigating it in the shadows. Will this threaten your cooperation with him?â his subordinate asked.
1/2 +15 BONUS âI heard that Joseph York had already tested Melanieâs DNA twice, but they werenât a match both times. Itâs normal for him to be suspicious,â Nathan said with his eyes narrowed.
âSo, is Melanie really from the York family?â His subordinate was confused.
âIf she isnât a York, how can anyone explain her hereditary cardiovascular disease and her powerful sense of smell? Something must be behind this. Inform Tempest to press on with the investigation and see if thereâs someone secretly ruining the Yorksâ
analysis,â Nathan ordered.
âUnderstood!â His subordinate nodded.
After drinking the last drop of tea, Nathan put down his teacup and was about to leave after straightening his outfit. Suddenly, his subordinate outside reported, âSir, Melanie is here. She says that she wants to see you. Will you see her?â
âMelanie?!â
Nathan was shocked.
How did she find this place?
Nathanâs mind started to spin quickly as he frowned.
He thought that everything had been too smooth today and was somewhat suspicious. Looked like he was right all along.
Melanie had used his schemes against him...
All he could do right now was be flexible. With a wave of his hand, he told his subordinate to bring Melanie in.
âHow did you manage to find me here?â Nathan said.
âI followed your people,â Melanie answered as she stood at the doorway.
âMy people?â
âJane.â
Melanie immediately said, âIn order to avoid any awkwardness, you donât need to deny that you know her.â
âI do know her. She looks like my sister,â Nathan said.
Melanie blinked and said without a change in her tone, âShe looks like your sister, so you used her to get close to Jeffrey and me?â
âWhy are you saying that Iâm using her?â Nathan asked.
âI canât think of any reason why she wants to get close to me and Jeffrey.â
âMaybe because she heard she looks like Jeffreyâs first sweetheart, and she started to have her own plans about it?â Nathan was still trying to muddle the waters.
