Chapter 13

“Where did

this formation? Is it true?”

d you get t

Melanie sat at the wide desk and in the CEO’s office, looking at the documents in her hand.

“Yes, it is. It’s said that Zack Jones, the owner of the Vision Museum, announced it himself in public.”

“Any information about the stuff he’s looking for? Porcelain, jade, calligraphy, or paintings? Antique

or modern art?”

“Not clear yet,” Jeff said with embarrassment.

Hearing this, Angie, who was drinking coffee and playing with the computer, suddenly came over with a mysterious look.

“I heard that the man behind the Vision Museum is a big shot, Melanie.”

“How so?” Melanie asked casually, busy with the documents.

“It is said that this man is very mysterious. Up to now, no one knows what he looks like.

“Moreover, he has a complex background and everyone in Zerivia who dares to mess with him. ends badly.”

“Really? Guess he treats the law as nothing, doesn’t he?”

Melanie sneered at Angie’s description of that man.

“Yes, all I said is true. It’s said that he’s Roderick Lambert, the only son in the Lambert family.”

“That’s weird. You know his name but not his face.”

Melanie shook her head and smiled.

“I’m not lying. There’s no picture of him online and no one had ever seen him.”

“Really? Maybe he’s not attractive,” Melanie said carelessly.

“Maybe.”

Angie thought for a while and became excited again.

“Anyway, if the Rising Star Auction gets in this time, we’re gonna get a big boost in profit, Melanie.”

Jeff also nodded frequently, showing his agreement.

Melanie looked at them and nodded speechlessly.

“Then go and find out what the Vision Museum’s preferences are and what it needs.”

In the end, however, she was pulled to the Vision Museum by Angie.

Chapter 13

Melanie remembered that she had heard about this museum since she was a child, but this was her

first time there.

The museum covered an area of 108 thousand square feet.

It was very rare for a museum in a big city like Beloris. It could be seen that its owner was both wealthy and powerful.

In addition, the museum had a rich collection.

There were collections of ceramics, jade ware, bronze ware, ancient calligraphy, paintings, modern artworks, and so on, covering almost all times.

They were so immersed in the artworks that they forgot what they were there for.

Later, they came to the pet exhibition area. All kinds of small animals made of ceramic and jade made them linger.

“Wow, that’s so cute.”

Angie stopped at a jade cat, reluctant to leave.

“I should have brought the kids with me. They’ll love it.”

Melanie couldn’t take her eyes off a howling bronze dog.

She used to have a dog like this when she was a child, and it barked very loudly.

“I heard that they sell replicas as souvenirs. Let’s buy some, Melanie.”

“Go ahead. I’ll stay here a little longer,” Melanie said, obsessed with the artwork.

When she turned around, she accidentally stepped on someone’s foot. She lost her balance, but luckily, she was held in arms by a man.

“I’m so sorry. Are you okay?”

She hurriedly got up from the man’s arms and apologized.

However, she didn’t hear a word from him.

Instead, she was surrounded by a familiar and light fragrance.

She looked up in confusion and saw his brown eyes.

The man in front of her looked very handsome and uniquely noble.

He looked both knowledgeable and arrogant.

He had a delicate face and a beautiful nose. At this moment, he was staring at her with meaningful

eyes.

“We’ve met before.”

Chapter 13

His voice was as attractive as wine.

“What?”

Melanie widened her eyes in puzzlement.

“Have we met before?”

“Yeah. On the plane.”

The way the man stared at Melanie made her mind go blank for a moment.

She suddenly recalled the warm palms on the plane back home, then she blushed instantly.

“It’s you.”

The man stepped closer and said in a low voice, “How are your eyes?”

“They’re good. Thanks for asking.”

Melanie smiled and took a step back.

“Do you have anything else to say? I have to go now. My friend is waiting for me.”

Melanie turned around and left without looking back.

For some reason, she felt that it was about 31 thousand miles from the exit.

She could feel his gaze at her and he seemed to see through her.

It felt so strange.

She had seen countless men these years,

However, no one had ever put her under such stress.

In particular, the strange familiarity left her a little overwhelmed.

He was indeed handsome, just like her kids.

He had brown eyes too, and even his face was a bit like theirs.

Melanie shook her head repeatedly at this thought.

She thought, “How can I compare him with the kids? That’s ridiculous.

Putting aside her weird thoughts, she began to think about what the Vision Museum was looking

for.

What she didn’t know was that as soon as she left, the man was surrounded by several women.

“Is she the girl Michael was talking about, Roddy?”

Emma Lambert yelled excitedly.

Chapter 13

“We saw you hold her, Roddy. Is your allergy healed?”

Jennifer Lambert tried to grab Roderick’s arm.

Rachel Lambert also rushed forward, trying to grab him.

“Let me see. You hugged her just now.”

Roderick moved away hurriedly, saying, “No. Don’t touch me.”

However, he dodged Jennifer and Rachel but was grabbed by Emma.

In an instant, his white arms turned red.

Jennifer hurriedly took out the medicine from her bag and sprayed it on Roderick’s wrist.

“My poor boy. When can I have a grandson?”

Emma also apologized, “I’m sorry, Roddy. I didn’t mean it.”

“It’s so weird. I saw you hug that girl just now, but you didn’t have allergies.” It’s so

Rachel screamed as if she had found something surprising.

”

“Roddy. Are you…”

Roderick ignored the questions from his mother and two sisters and thought about something.

“Which family does she come from, Roddy? I’m going to see her parents and talk about your engagement!”

“Be patient, Mom. It seems that that girl doesn’t like Roddy!”

Rachel laughed.

“Nonsense. No girl in Beloris doesn’t want to marry into the Lambert family.”

Jennifer was a little angry.

She saw what happened just now, and she could tell that Melanie didn’t quite like her son.

When she finished her talk with her daughters, she found that Roderick had already left.

Jennifer felt unpleasant.

“Find that girl. Figure out who she is!”

There were countless billionaires and millionaires in Beloris but the Lambert family was unparalleled in power.

Everyone in Beloris must respect the Lambert family.

It could be said that the Lambert family was the real aristocrat there and they were richer than people imagined.

Chapter 13

Three generations of the family had only one son while their daughters were usually twins or triplets.

Geoffrey Lambert was Roderick’s grandpa and Sean Lambert was his dad. No one knew how powerful these men were.

However, when it came to the Lambert family, all men would be very respectful.

Even Roderick, who was said to be mysterious and always kept his distance from women, was known as “Mr. Lambert“.

+1

The Lambert family had three daughters, and apart from Daisy Lambert, who had been single and living abroad, the other two girls and their husbands were very capable.

However, even such a wealthy family had a problem they couldn’t solve.

As the only son in his family, Roderick was in his late 20s but never married.

He had an illness.

Ever since he was born, he didn’t like women holding him.

Every time a woman hugged him, he would cry loudly.

As he grew older, things got weirder.

At first, Jennifer could get close to him and take care of him.

Later, however, no woman could go near him.

Even if his three elder sisters accidentally touched him, he would get rashes all over his body.

The Lambert family had been exploring the medical industry because he couldn’t get close to

women.

Now they had a state–of–the–art medical laboratory.

Unfortunately, even so, they couldn’t figure out why he was allergic to women.
