Chapter 44 Who Is Melissa?

Following Murray to the president’s office, Melissa glanced at Murray indifferently. “What’s up?

Murray sat on the couch, legs crossed, slender fingers pointing to his side. “Sit.”

Melissa was confused but sat down beside Murray after the slightest hesitation. “Murray, so what is it?”

“You started the whole thing, didn’t you?” Murray smiled and said coldly.

Did Melissa start the whole thing?Was Murray mad at Melissa for exposing Susie in public?Did Murray

feel sorry for Susie? Murray came to call Melissa to account, didn’t he?

“What? Murray, what are you trying to say?” Melissa looked sideways at Murray beside her warily.

Murray’s cold eyes met Melissa’s.

Murray’s eyes were fathomless.

Murray approached Melissa. “You knew Susie would replace the drawing. So you put Jenny up to this

and set up the whole thing, didn’t you?”

Murray knew what happened but wanted to hear it from Melissa.

If Murray was right, Melissa knew that Susie was going to deal with her and set this up.

As a result, Susie suffered the consequences and was expelled from the Gibson Corporation. Besides,

Jessie was warned to behave herself.

Everything that happened today was under Melissa’s control.

Melissa’s tactics were precise, ruthless, and decisive.

Murray appreciated Melissa so much,

It was hard to imagine that a girl from the country could be so intelligent and bold.

Inadvertently, Murray leaned toward Melissa.

They were pretty close to each other and Melissa blushed.

Melissa thought, Why is he so close to me?

Melissa moved aside and said seriously, “No. It’s Susie who’s behind this. I never intend to cause

others any harm, but I’m always careful to prevent myself from being hurt. Susie was going against me.

How could I take it lying down?

“If Susie hadn’t started it, nothing would have happened. I just dealt with her as she did to me. I don’t

think I did anything wrong.”

“Did I say you were wrong?” An evil grin spread across Murray’s face.

Melissa was confused. Didn’t Murray mean to call Melissa to account?

“Tell me if this happens again.” Murray leaned closer to Melissa.

Murray put his hands on the sides of the couch where Melissa sat, his thin lips close to her ear, and

said tenderly, “I’m not going to let my fiancée be bullied.”

“I can handle this. I don’t need your help, Mr. Gibson.” Melissa’s heart beat fast as she felt Murray’s

warm breath

Melissa thought, What’s wrong with Murray? Why is he talking like that? Isn’t he afraid Lily will be

jealous?

“So, who are you?” Murray gave Melissa a suspicious look. “Why can you design jewelry? If I’m right,

the drawing software you use today is designed by Ada. What is your relationship with her?”

Melissa was spooked. What did Murray suspect? Was Melissa’s true identity revealed?

Melissa stood up and smiled calmly. “As you said, I’m your nominal fiancée. If you’re all right, I’m gonna

go to work.”

With that, Melissa turned and left.

Staring at Melissa’s delicate back, Murray seemed to be deep in thought.

After some thought, Murray called Alex over and said coldly, “Do a background check on Melissa. I

want all her information!”

“Melissa?” Alex was surprised.

Wasn’t Melissa Murray’s fiancée?

But why did Murray want Alex to do a background check on Melissa?

“Why are you still standing there?” Murray’s face darkened when he saw Alex in a daze.

“Got it, Mr. Gibson.” Seeing that Murray was sulky, Alex left hurriedly.

An hour later, Alex reported to Murray nervously. “Mr. Gibson, I checked.”

“How is it?” Murray sounded impatient.

“That’s all I can get,” Alex said as he handed the paper to Murray.

Murray took the paper and saw only a few lines.

Melissa was a 20-year-old woman who lived in the suburbs of Pailbury City.

There was no other information about Melissa’s parents and qualifications.

“Is that all?” Murray narrowed his eyes. “Anything else?”

Alex scratched his head in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, Mr. Gibson. I can’t find anything else.”

“You can go out.” Murray tugged at his tie impatiently.

Murray looked down at the few pieces of information, deep in thought, his handsome face tense.

Even Alex couldn’t get a background on Melissa. It seemed that his fiancée was not a simple woman.

Murray decided to return to the Gibson’s house.

Since Marc got them engaged, Marc must know Melissa well.

Murray drove to the Gibson’s house impatiently. Marc was watering flowers in the garden.

“Murray, aren’t you at work at this hour? Why are you here?” Marc was surprised to see Murray.

“Grandpa, I’m here to see if you are well.” Murray took the watering can from Marc and watered the

flowers. wers.

“I am fine.” Seeing that Murray was absent-minded, Marc raised his eyebrows and asked, “What do

you want me for?”

Marc knew Murray very well. Murray was a workaholic. If there wasn’t something very important,

Murray wouldn’t come to the Gibson’s house during working hours.

“Grandfather, can you tell me who Melissa is?” Murray asked.

Marc looked sideways at Murray, who left work to be here for Melissa.

Murray was finally concerned about Melissa,

“What? You finally think Melissa’s good, don’t you?” Marc asked with a smile.

“I’m curious.” Murray was serious, but his eyes were cold. “Melissa’s different from what I expected.”

“You can only find out for yourself. I’m old, but I’m sober. I won’t pick the wrong woman for you,” Marc

said proudly, stroking his white beard.

“I got it, grandpa.” Seeing that Marc was so mysterious and refused to say anything, Murray didn’t ask.

Murray stumped out of the Gibson’s house.

If not for Lily, perhaps Murray would have tried to accept Melissa.

Melissa was beautiful, intelligent, confident, capable, brave, and indeed attractive.

However, Murray loved Lily with all his heart.

Murray promised Lily that he would marry her. His wife could only be Lily.
