Chapter 441 The Driver What delivery boy?

Melanie chased after Annie’s voice and saw that Annie had already left, leaving only Jeffrey standing at the door while looking at her.

“Why didn’t you come home?” He asked and closed the door.

“I bought this home myself.”

Melanie pointed behind her. “Speaking of which, I really don’t have any privacy when I’m with you... I didn’t go back to Marina Heights, didn’t go back to my family home, and am not staying with Annie, but you still know that I have a new place?”

Jeffrey didn’t explain. He simply approached her and asked, “You met Nathan during the gala tonight? Is it because he said something?”

“He did say something. Nervous?” Melanie asked.

“What’s there for me to feel nervous about? I’m worried about you,” Jeffrey said honestly.

Melanie then told Jeffrey about what Nathan had said. She even told him about her video conference with Clement, and that he personally admitted that someone from Morgan Group di look for him and force him to commit perjury.

“Do I look like someone so twisted that I can’t let the past go and unleash my hatred on the innocent?” Jeffrey asked.

“Hard to say.”

Melanie calmly answered.

Jeffrey choked. “You’re not coming back tonight because of this?”

“Can’t it be because I just want to be with friends and enjoy a moment of freedom?”

Melanie wasn’t to talk to Jeffrey tonight about all this. She needed time to digest it all.

But since he’s here, she wasn’t going to hide this from him.

“I believe in you. I’m not thinking of hiding anything from you,” she answered him earnestly.

Jeffrey nodded and, after a moment of consideration, said, “Then I don’t think I should hide this from you anymore.”

“What are you hiding from me?” Melanie suddenly felt nervous.

+15 BONOS “Don’t worry. It’s about something else. It’s Judas Chapman.”

Jeffrey held her hand and led her to the sofa. “I found some clues, but there’s nothing conclusive yet. I’m worried that you’ll get tired, so I didn’t tell you about it. But you’re right. We should be more honest with each other if we want to prevent others from provoking us.”

Jeffrey then told Melanie about everything he found out. “Originally, Judas had four more years left of his sentencing. However, In August this year, he used his severe diabetes as a reason to apply for parole.

“Back then, Judas was just a truck driver and was quite poor. But strangely, he bought a small homestead in Medonia this year for his ex–wife. Seems like after his parole was granted, he suddenly received a sum of money. I’m still checking the source.”

“My mom managed to find out that Judas had a sickly daughter back then and she needed money for surgery. That was why Judas forced himself to work so much and refused to rest. He even drank a lot of alcohol because of his bad mood. All of this became evidence for the judge to sentence him... How’s his daughter doing right now?” Melanie asked.

“His daughter died. She went through the surgery back then, but she passed away in less than two years.” Jeffrey said.

Melanie looked down as she nodded.

“I’ll let you know as soon as I find out something new about Judas,” Jeffrey said.

Melanie nodded. After giving it a thought, she said, “I’m going to Medonia in two days, so I’ll need to make some arrangements.”

“To see Clement?”

“That’s right. No matter what Nathan’s planning to do, I might be able to get more clues if I ask him on the spot.”

Jeffrey patted her head. “To be honest, there’s no need for you to do that. As long as you trust me, you can ignore everything that Nathan did. You don’t have to get yourself into danger.”

“Who said I trust you?”

Melanie pushed his hand away. “Before I know the truth, I’ll only trust myself.”

When she said that, Melanie’s mobile rang. She answered it. It was Pam speaking with an anxious tone on the other end of the line. “Melanie! Can you please save my mom?!”
