Chapter 72

She had no idea how they ended up checking into a hotel, sharing a bed, and having sex.

However, the gangsters they had beaten up called the police, and they were taken from the hotel to the police station before daybreak.

After the police looked into Michael’s background, they informed their chief, who then gave the Gibson family a call.

Melanie understood that she did not even need to appear because of the Lambert family’s influence.

However, Roderick had been waiting for her outside Rising Star when she received a call from Angie.

No matter how stupid Melanie was, she knew her good cousin was part of this set- up, judging from Angie’s nonverbal cues.

Melanie became aware that she was the one who had been duped after hearing all

this.

Roderick was so persistent. Did he spend the entire day trying to get close to her because he had nothing else to do?

No wonder Roderick said it was a good thing.

But then she exclaimed inwardly, ‘Oh, no!‘

Melanie’s face turned pale at the thought of what Roderick had said.

Angie said that she and Michael adored each other and were willing to sleep together for the night.

Had something terrible occurred that resembled her experience from seven years ago?

As she was thinking this, Melanie saw the police chief walk Roderick out with humility.

Michael followed behind with a happy and smug face.

Chapter 72

Angie had been glancing at Michael ever since he appeared.

She didn’t even give her angry cousin a look.

Melanie suppressed her anger and asked with great difficulty, “Angie, did you. really…”

“Yes, I’m dating him. He said we would get married soon.

“So I can’t take care of you anymore, Melanie. You have to find someone to take care of you.”

After saying that, Angie leaped toward Michael like a child.

Michael reached out to hold Angie in his arms.

Their behavior gave the impression that they had been in love for a long time and had finally reconnected after a long separation to those who were unaware of their real story.

Melanie was stunned.

W–What was going on?

They hung out together for one night, slept in a bed, and were about to get married.

How could this happen? That wasn’t acceptable!

Michael walked toward Melanie with Angie in his arms before Melanie could process what she was seeing.

“Melanie, I’ve officially gotten together with Angie. We have decided to get married at the end of this month. Would you like to tie the knot on the same day?”

Melanie felt anxious as she looked at Angie and Michael, who were standing in front of her, hugging each other.

Without glancing at Michael again, she grabbed Angie’s arm and dragged her aside.

“H–How can you do this? I disagree.” Melanie thought she was going to burst into a rage.

“You two don’t know each other at all. You two do not know one another’s disposition, habits, or temper.

“You two just spent one night together, and now you’re getting married?!

“Grandpa and your dad won’t agree to it either!”

In an attempt to calm Angie down, Melanie gave a series of reasons.

However, Angie didn’t calm down but got cranky.

“Melanie, you have the son of the Lambert family and three sons. I am one year younger than you. Why can’t I get married?

“Maybe I already got pregnant after what happened last night!”

Angie responded to Michael in the distance by making a heart shape with her hands as she spoke.

Her remarks astounded Melanie.

“Angie, listen to me. What do you know about Michael? How can you marry him before knowing anything about him?”

“He is the second son of the Gibson family in Beloris. He graduated from Yingon Imperial Medical University and is now a famous general practitioner in Beloris. “He treats me well and is attractive and skilled in bed. He promised to spoil me.”

Melanie was fuming at Angie’s blatant characterization of Michael’s traits.

She was about to lose it.

“Angie, you only have a cursory understanding of him. Who can guarantee that he won’t change in the future even if he promised to treat you well?”

Melanie didn’t give up trying to persuade her.

Hearing this, Angie said seriously, “No, Melanie, you are wrong. Some couples may not know one another even after spending their entire lives together, but some can see through their partners with just a glance.

“Michael and I are destined to be together, and we must be together!”

Chapter 72

Melanie was still in disbelief as she saw Angie’s serious expression.

“Angie, do you mean what you say? You don’t intentionally do this to get me to be with Roderick, do you?”

Before Melanie could say anything else, Angie remarked decisively, “Oh, my dear, I really want you to be with Roderick, but I can’t miss Michael because he makes me happy.”

Without giving Melanie a chance to speak, Angie grabbed her hand and continued, “Melanie, the idea that someone will treat me the way the Lambert family’s son treats you makes me happy. You should be happy for me.”

“Are you telling the truth?!” Melanie still didn’t give up.

“Yes. Tomorrow, I will take Michael back to the island to meet my father and grandfather. I’m getting married!”

Angie kept talking happily as she held Melanie’s hand.

“Melanie, feel happy for me!”

Melanie could think of only one thing as she stared at the insane Angie.

“You’re crazy! You both are crazy!” Melanie said.

“Melanie, Roderick is really nice. His eyes are full of love when he looks at you. Don’t you feel anything?”

Hearing Angie’s words, Melanie turned around and left.

She didn’t want to talk with Angie anymore. Michael could take her away if he desired.
