Chapter 344 A Big Earthquake in Los Angeles

Early in the morning, the bright sunlight shone through the glass window onto Murray.

He opened his eyes in a daze and found himself lying in Melissa’s bed.

He rubbed his temples, and the memories gradually came back to him.

He remembered that last night, he went to attend the 50th-anniversary celebration of the Yale

Corporation, but Adela drugged him.

Fortunately, he had strong willpower, so he didn’t fall into her trap and left at the critical moment.

Later, Alex took him to Melissa.

His fiancée opened the door and entered the room. “Are you awake?”

“Yes.” He nodded.

Thinking of what Melissa had said to him last night, Murray looked sullen.

“Are you feeling better?” She asks as she walks up to him.

“Yes,” He replied coldly.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Melissa held his hand. “What’s wrong?”

“Why did you reject me last night?” Murray’s handsome face was tense, and his tone was upset.

Melissa suddenly realized that he was angry about this, and smiled.

“Didn’t I explain it to you last night? If you don’t accept it, I will need to reconsider our engagement.”

Murray was speechless.

Reconsider no more. You are mine,” Murray said domineeringly, stretched out his hand, and embraced

Melissa’s shoulder.

“I will respect you,” he said as he leaned over and moved his thin lips to Melissa’s ear.

Leaning against Murray’s chest and listening to his mellow voice, Melissa felt satisfied.

“Thank you,” she replied with a slight nod.

“I hope I will marry you as soon as possible,” He said as he ruffled her fringe and twisted it around his

fingers.

“Dream on.” Melissa smiled,

She suddenly remembered something and said, “By the way, I cook breakfast, Try it.”

“For me?’ Murray asked in surprise

“Yes.” Melissa curved her lips

She rarely cooked.

“Then I’m so lucky.” He smiled in satisfaction.

“Get up. I’ll wait for you in the dining room.” Melissa stood up, feeling delighted.

Murray finished washing up and went after her.

At the dining table, the hint of unhappiness disappered and Murray was overwhelmed by happiness

when noticed the breakfast made by Melissa

“Have a taste. Do you like it?” She picked up a fried egg and placed it on his plate,

The man raised his eyebrows and said in an exaggerated tone, “My wife is the best cook in the world.”

Melissa was speechless and rolled her eyes at him. “Who is your wife? You’re so shameless.”

“You will be my wife very soon.” Murray smirked.

“By the way, who drugged you last night?” Melissa changed the subject.

“Adela.” His face darkened as he thought of what had happened last night.

“I knew it was her,” Melissa muttered.

“You guessed it?” Murray was stunned for a moment.

She smiled as she took out her phone and clicked on the news.

Murray took the phone and looked down at it.

It was the shocking news of Adela fooling around with a gigolo at the 50th-anniversary celebration of

the Yale Corporation

“Adela’s reputation has been ruined.” Melissa pursed her lips thoughtfully. “Did you arrange the gigolo

for her?’

Since Adela had drugged him, she couldn’t have called a gigolo over.

Melissa guessed what had happened.

Murray returned the phone to Melissa and sneered. It was just a small punishment.”

“Adela loves you. Aren’t you afraid that she will be sad because of what you did?” Melissa said half-

jokingly.

“Are you jealous?’ Murray chuckled,

‘Of course not ” Melissa picked up a piece of tart and put it into his mouth

I have to leave for a few days.’ Melissa suddenly remembered something

Where are you going?” Murray a ked concerned

“I will go to Los Angeles with Nina,’ She replied, “We are going to ask Tom for an explanation”

Meanwhile, Melissa’s phone rang, it was Nina calling

“She must be calling to urge me to go to the airport”. Melissa thought.

She quickly answered the phone, “Nina, wait for me. “I’ll go to the hotel after breakfast and go to the

airport with you…”

“Melissa, a big earthquake happened in Los Angeles!” Nina said, before Melissa could fisnish her

words.

Melissa was shocked.

“What?” She asked

“Tom called me just now and said that there was a big earthquake there. His house collapsed, and he

was trapped under the ruins.” Nina cried.

“How could it be possible,” Melissa said subconsciously, “how could there be a big earthquake?”

“It’s true. Tom just called me, but he hung up after saying a few words. I called back but couldn’t get

through to him,” Nina said anxiously, “I’ll go to the airport right away. I want to go to Los Angeles to find

him.”

“Nina, don’t panic. Wait for me at the hotel. I’ll go to you immediately,” She pondered for a moment. “If

there was a earthquake in L. A, all the flights will be grounded. Even if we go to the airport, it will be

useless.”

“Melissa, I’m so scared. Will Tom be alright?” She was so worried about him that she became

incoherent.

“Wait for me.”

Melissa hung up the phone. Just as she was about to speak, Murray handed his phone to her with a

serious face. “The news just came out. A 7.8-magnitude earthquake happened in Los Angeles.”

“What? Is what Nina said true?” Her heart jumped.

A big earthquake did happened in Los Angeles.

Then Tom…

According to what Nina had said, Tom was trapped under the ruins. He must be in danger.

Melissa’s face tightened. She quickly packed up and walked toward the door. “I’ll go to Nina. Murray,

arrange a plane for me. I want to go to Los Angeles with her.”

“It’s too dangerous.” Murray raised his long legs and followed her. “Melissa, don’t go there. I’ll send

someone over.”

A 7.8-magnitude earthquake was scary. There would be a lot of aftershocks. If they rashly went over, it

would indeed be very dangerous.

“No,” Melissa said firmly. “I have to go by myself.”

She knew that if Tom was in danger, Nina would go to him.

How could Melissa feel at ease about letting Nina go to such a deadly place alone?

When she was in danger, Nina risked her life to save Melissa.

No matter how dangerous it was, she had to be there for her friend.

“I will go with you.” Seeing that Melissa was determined, Murray could only give in.
