Chapter 657 A Single Woman Doesn’t Need Anyone Around

Jaron was stunned. He didn’t expect that Melissa would reject him. Another girl would have been

overwhelmed by the favor.

Melissa’s calmness and composed posture, and right attitude towards money earned Jaron’s

admiration.

Marc saw that Julia’s face turned even paler and quickly interrupted.

’Alright. Everyone is tired. Let’s sit and eat.”

Marc clapped his hands and the banquet began.

He waved at Julia and smiled. “Julia, come here and eat with me.”

Julia immediately put on a smile and nodded her head. Then, she walked up to Marc tidying up her

dress. She looked at Melissa with a triumphant look.

Melissa ignored her and continued eating.

The servant brought Julia a chair and placed it next to Marc.

Julia’s eyes widened to the maximum, but Melissa ignored her. Julia felt kind of bored.

’Chat with Julia after the meal. Don’t make her feel bored.”

When everyone focused on eating, Marc asked Murray to spend some time with Julia.

Melissa was stunned for a moment, but she still didn’t slow down eating.

’I won’t, Grandpa. I need to stay with Melissa.’

Unexpectedly, Murray refused Marc in public, which made Julia embarrassed.

“Do as I say. Don’t talk this nonsense.”

Marc’s face darkened. He could tell that Julia had lost her face. If he didn’t do something to

compensate Julia, the Segar family would come to find faults.

‘I won’t.”

Murray refused again and forked a piece of steak into Melissa’s plate. “You like this. Eat more.”

Melissa was stunned. She didn’t expect Murray to be so protective of her. She nodded, her long curly

eyelashes trembling slightly.

Looking at Murray’s gentle eyes, Julia felt sour in her heart.

At the thought of his indifference and dissatisfaction in the office, compared with his gentleness now,

Julia felt upset and annoyed.

Due to Marc’s presence, Julia couldn’t say anything but eat silently.

‘It’s my banquet. You don’t even listen to me, do you?”

Marc got angry and directly criticized Murray in public.

‘I just did what I should have done.’

Murray would not back down at all and made a scene with Marc in public.

‘1 have a fiancee. Do you think it’s appropriate for me to stay with a single woman?”

“She was your friend!”

Marc was dissatisfied and defended Julia in public. Seeing the people looking at them, Melissa

hurriedly tried to comfort them.

“Alright. It’s fine. Let’s eat.”

Since Melissa said so, Murray didn’t continue to speak. Their faces darkened, and neither of them

continued to speak.

The banquet ended unhappily. On the way home, Melissa heaved a sigh of relief.

The next day.

Melissa stood in front of Keyon’s place, tidied up her clothes, and then pressed the doorbell.

After she waited for a long time, the door opened. Just as Melissa was about to greet him, she

suddenly discovered that the person in front didn’t match Keyon’s figure.

She looked up and saw that it was indeed not Keyon, but Jaron.

Melissa’s pupils shrank. Why was Jaron here?

‘Hello, Jaron.”

Melissa greeted Jaron. When Jaron saw Melissa, he was a bit surprised but only faintly nodded.

‘Come in. You’re here for Keyon, right?”

Melissa nodded. She didn’t expect Jaron to be a guest at Keyon’s home.

‘1 haven’t visited Keyon for a long time. I’m afraid that he’ll think that I’m impolite, so I came here.”

‘It’s kind of you.”

Jaron nodded. His impression of Melissa improved a lot.

Melissa was prepared for this trip. She especially brought a piece of jade of excellent quality, which

Keyon would like.

Jaron noticed this and nodded in satisfaction. He led Melissa into the room.

Keyon was sitting in the middle, brewing coffee. “Who is it?”

’Keyon, it’s me.’

Melissa replied, then placed the jade on the table. “I managed to find this for you.”

’It’s so considerate of you.”

Keyon smiled and nodded. Then he stood up and came to Melissa.

“Look at this girl. She looks pretty, right?” Keyon said proudly to Jaron.

Keyon raised his eyebrows to Jaron.

“Yes, indeed.”

Jaron could only say what Keyon wanted to hear. The next second, Keyon placed his hand in front of

Melissa’s belly.

’Let me show you something. Don’t blink.”

Then, Keyon used his internal energy. The veins on his hands slightly bulged. Melissa’s painting of

energy was displayed in front of their eyes.

Different from that of others, Melissa’s painting of energy was green. Compared to others’ dark gray

colors, her painting of energy was even purer.

This also meant that Melissa’s painting of energy was good. Even Jaron rarely saw it.

His pupils contracted as he clapped his hands. “Good indeed.”

The next second, Melissa took back her painting of energy.

She didn’t expect Keyon to do such a thing. She was somewhat embarrassed.

“I’m sorry for making a fool of myself in front of you.”

Melissa scratched her head, becoming a little unnatural.

“How could that be?”

Jaron quickly waved his hand and praised Melissa’s painting of energy. “Your painting of energy is

much better than that of my students. Many of them have cultivated for a long time to reach this level. I

didn’t expect you to have it at such a young age. It is really rare.”

Keyon laughed. He could tell that Jaron was very satisfied with Melissa. After all, talents like Melissa

were rare.

’No, Jaron, please don’t make fun of me.”

Melissa smiled tactfully, touched her belly, and slowly exhaled.

“It seems that none of the rumors about you are true. I wonder who spread the rumors.”

Jaron frowned. Many people were discussing Melissa. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes today, he

would have believed the rumors.

“We can’t decide what others think. Let them do whatever they like.”

Melissa faintly replied. Jaron grew even more impressed with her.

It was extremely rare for young people to have such wisdom and steadiness.

Keyon saw through Jaron’s thoughts and quickly stopped him. “Wait a minute. Are you up to something

again?”

Jaron stared at Keyon.

’Up to something? Mind your words!’
