“Y–You…” Melanie stammered. She stared at Jeff, speechless.

She suddenly felt that she didn’t know what she could do about this kind of ridiculous behavior at all!

Melanie thought. The worst thing is that Roderick is so everywhere.

“First, he played up to Gary. Even Angie and Enzo tried to put in a good word for him.

‘Now he is targeting Rising Star and has already casually bought off everyone here.

They even started to betray me, their boss, the CEO of the company!”

Jeff said, “Ms. Robertson, after Mrs. Lambert sent Lavazza coffee here last time, everyone knew about it.

“We know that you and Mr. Roderick Lambert got married secretly a long time ago and you already have children. You just haven’t announced it publicly yet…”

Listening to Jeff’s babbling, Melanie felt a headache and a violent drumming in her temples!

Melanie thought, “What the hell is going on?

‘When did I marry Roderick?

‘Wait! They know we have kids!

‘Who made it leaked out?”

Melanie said, “Go out and shut them up with the coffee! Now!”

Melanie closed her eyes and repeatedly waved her hand to drive Jeff out!

She wanted to be alone!

Melanie thought, All right, ‘Roderick, what kind of tactic is this?

‘You can’t achieve your goal internally so you decided to take external means?

‘Are you trying to use public opinion?‘

Just as Melanie was analyzing it angrily, her personal phone rang.

Melanie thought it was a call from Roderick. She wanted to reject the call and throw it away.

But she looked down and was shocked when she saw the number!

Melanie was puzzled and picked up the phone. She murmured, “Police station of Kdeal? What’s this about?”

She heard a strange male voice. “Are you Ms. Melanie Robertson?”

Melanie said, “Yes, and you are…”

“We’re from the police station of Kdeal. Ms. Angie Thomas is detained here. Please come here now!”

Melanie said, “Angie? She’s in the police station?”

Melanie was totally confused. “Excuse me, but what did she do?”

The man on the other end of the phone said, “It’s a bit serious. Please come to the police station and you’ll know!”

Then the man hung up in an instant.

Melanie called, “Hello?”

Melanie almost thought she was having an allusion if she was not looking at the records on her phone!

Melanie thought, ‘Isn’t Angie in Beloris?

‘Why did she go to Kdeal and get arrested?

‘Where is Michael? Wasn’t she hanging out with Michael? What did she do?”

Immediately, Melanie became very anxious.

If there were still people who could cause Melanie’s mood swings. Angie must be one of them.

Angie was not only Melanie’s cousin but also her best friend.

Chapter 68

If anything bad happened to Angie in Zerivia, Melanie could never forgive herself.

Melanie grabbed her phone, about to call Michael. Only then did she realize that she didn’t have Michael’s number.

So she called Angie. But Angie didn’t pick up her phone!

Instantly, regret and anger overwhelmed Melanie!

She thought she should have called Angie in the morning.

She thought it was all her fault. She didn’t understand why she didn’t call Angie in the morning. She completely forgot that her cousin Angie didn’t come back last night!

Melanie thought angrily, ‘It’s all because of Roderick!”

Suddenly, an idea occurred to her: call Roderick!

She thought Roderick definitely could get in touch with Michael so that she would know what had happened and be prepared for it!

Thinking about this, Melanie dialed Roderick’s number, worried about if Roderick would answer the call.

However, the phone was picked up in no time.

Roderick said, “Mela!”

Before Melanie realized that the call’was already answered, she heard Roderick’s mellow and deep voice.

Melanie said, “Give me Michael’s number. I don’t know if he is with Angie. The police of Kdeal just called me and said Angie…”

Melanie’s words were a bit confusing because she was too anxious.

She didn’t know why Angie was arrested by the police but the police had called her, which meant that it was pretty serious.

Before Melanie could finish her words, she heard Roderick’s mellow and deep voice again.

Roderick said, “Mela, don’t worry. I’m downstairs at the office of Rising Star. Come

downstairs.”

Somehow, Melanie suddenly felt like she finally could rely on someone hearing his gentle and deep voice.

She went downstairs and hurried out of the gate of the office building and saw

three luxury cars parked in the front parking lots, which attracted a lot of people’s attention.

Seeing this, Melanie felt a headache.

Suddenly, the door of the car in the middle was opened. Roderick’s long leg stretched out and he walked out of the car.

Melanie was nervous when the crowd gathered around the cars.

She heard someone screaming, “He’s Roderick Lambert!”

Without hesitation, Melanie hurriedly trotted to Roderick.

Melanie said, “Get into the car. Now. Let’s go!”

Roderick grabbed Melanie’s hand.

Roderick said, “Don’t worry. Mela, it will be fine.”

Melanie said, “Hurry up! Let’s go now!”

Some people even took out their phones. It seemed that they were taking photos. of Roderick and Melanie.

But Melanie couldn’t care less about it. She grabbed Roderick’s hand and got into the car!

Seeing this, Roderick smiled mildly.

Roderick thought, ‘It works well. It seems that Mela is afraid of lots of things. When she’s scared, she is proactive!”

Roderick smiled with satisfaction. His glistening eyes betrayed his naughty thoughts!

Melanie said, “What happened to them? Why did they go to Kdeal? What happened? Did they crash the car into someone or…”

Chapter 68

As soon as Melanie sat down in the car, she began to ask all kinds of questions.

She knew that Angie loved driving cars at a very high speed.

Angie used to do it on the island at midnight.

It didn’t matter on the island because she had a special place to do it.

But Beloris was a busy and crowded city.

If Angie suddenly wanted to do it, Melanie couldn’t imagine what kind of disastrous thing would happen.

Melanie couldn’t calm down at the thought that Angie might be sued for manslaughter in Zerivia.

Roderick said, “It’s okay, Mela. I’m here with you. Don’t be afraid.”

After getting into the car, Roderick still held Melanie’s hand firmly.

Roderick said, “Now let’s get her back. Don’t worry. I’m with you, Mela!”

Melanie asked, “Do you know what they did?”

Melanie still felt uneasy and she couldn’t calm down.

Melanie didn’t know what she should do if someone really was hurt or killed.

Last night, Melanie warned Darrin not to be involved in murder but now she was thinking about what she could do to save Angie from jail time if she really killed

someone.
