“Nonsense. I saw Ms. Robertson blushing when she saw our boss. Doesn’t it meant that she’s interested?” Bill said excitedly.

“It seems so, but I’m worried our boss’s entire effort will go in vain.”

“What are you talking about? Our boss is sincere with Ms. Robertson. Can’t she see it?”

Bill really wanted to slap Richard twice.

“It’s hard to say.” Richard shook his head while staring at the leading car ahead. “I’ve been playing with his sons these days. According to their narrative, a man named Pete Mason brought flowers to Ms. Robertson every day for the past seven years, but she always kicked him out..”

Bill became uneasy after hearing this.

“Really? Why didn’t you inform our boss of this information?” Richard was stunned.

“Huh!? Do I need to?”

Gazing at the silly look on Richard’s face, Bill was about to strike Richard in the head when he heard a cold voice from the back seat say, “Look into it.”

Bill was stunned for a moment before he realized that Roderick was speaking to him and responded hurriedly, “Yes, sir. I promise to investigate everything about him.”

Richard then realized that this sound insulation equipment had not been turned on at all along the way.

He was so frightened that he kept breaking into cold sweats.

He thought, ‘Fortunately, Mr. Lambert didn’t lose his temper. Oh, why didn’t he punish me for being stupid today?”

Richard rubbed his head, which Bill had given a slap, and went to find Ethan and Elias.

At this moment, Melanie was busy and unaware that someone had planned to

Chapter 78

move into Harbour Villa.

Melanie decided to go back to Harbour Villa as she believed Roderick would come to Rising Star again tonight.

She didn’t want to see any tidbits about her and Roderick the next morning.

Melanie originally planned to go back and talk with Angie about her relationship with Michael.

But when Melanie finished her work, Jeff reported to her that Angie had left Zerivia at noon.

Melanie shook her head at this, not understanding how her cousin could be so self–assured.

What made Angie believe that she could get the consent of her grandfather, father, and mother to marry Michael after returning to the island?

When leaving the office, Melanie unexpectedly saw Roy and Sam, who had come to pick her up.

“Where is Gary? Didn’t I tell you to follow Tracy? Is there any news?”

Roy responded calmly. “Ms. Robertson, Tracy has been staying at home and keeping a low profile lately. Gary is stuck with something tonight, so he sent us to pick you up.”

They couldn’t divulge Roderick’s plan.

They were not allowed to return to Harbour Villa without Melanie.

Moreover, he couldn’t disclose that it was Roderick’s idea to send them over instead of Darrin.

But Melanie was not that easy to

fool. After hearing Roy’s words, she was confused

and asked, “What’s Gary up to?! Or is he not feeling well?”

Roy knew she was concerned about Gary and refused to lie about it, saying, “Gary is fine, Ms. Robertson, but he is busy setting up a room tonight.”

“Setting up the room?”

Seeing Melanie’s suspicious face, Roy thought for a while before saying. “You were

out all night, Ms. Robertson. Gary said that you didn’t come home because you didn’t like the arrangement, so he has to reorganize it.”

Melanie smiled upon hearing this.

“Okay, Gary just thinks too much. I’m going home now.”

Wiping perspiration from his brow, Roy in the front seat thought that today’s task was tough.

He and Sam had been under a great deal of pressure ever since Roderick came to Harbour Villa. They had no idea whose commands to follow.

They had to listen to Melanie, and they dared not disobey the son of the Lambert family.

They were not afraid of the Lambert family’s guards… Well, they were actually afraid of them.

But most importantly, Roderick was the biological father of the three kids.

Additionally, Ethan and Elias were quite protective of Roderick. No one knew when Melanie would agree to marry into the Lambert family.

When they heard that the bodyguards of the Lambert family were skilled at hiding, they used to think it was all nonsense.

However, when Darrin returned late in the night on a previous occasion, he was countered by Roderick’s Twain Shadow Guards. It was then they confirmed that the legends held some truth.

Therefore, they desired to go to the Lambert family and level up themselves.

It must be nice to become a bodyguard of the Lambert family.

In addition, rumors had it that Roderick had given each of the Lambert family’s guards an opulent home. For the rest of their lives, those guards would not have to worry about food or clothing because collecting the rent was more than enough.

Sam and Roy also desired to be these types of guards.

Thinking of this, Roy glanced at Melanie in the rearview mirror with a big grin. “You seem a little strange and happy today, Roy. Has your wife given birth?”

“Huh?” Roy came back to his senses. “What? My wife has given birth. Isn’t it due. yet?”

Melanie couldn’t help laughing.

“You seem absent–minded. Are you worried about your wife? Well, you can go home with Enzo the next time he returns to the island,” she said.

“Huh?” Roy was confused again.

What was going on today? He was absent–minded, and Melanie gave him time off?!

“What? What’s wrong with you today?”

Melanie cast a suspicious glance at Roy and Sam, who had been silent.

“Oh, nothing. You’re right. I’m just worried that my wife will have a hard time during the delivery. I appreciate that you gave me time off,” Roy hurriedly explained with a smile.

“Look what’s wrong with you two today. Sam always talks a lot, but he doesn’t speak today. You don’t usually talk much, but you keep talking today.”

“Ms. Robertson, I can’t talk because I’m driving,” Sam uttered calmly.

“Yes, Ms. Robertson, I guess I become excited when mentioning my wife!” Roy also explained excitedly.

Even so, Melanie still sensed that something was off.

However, by this time, the car had arrived at the gate of Harbour Villa.

As soon as the car stopped, Roy got out of the car and opened the door for Melanie respectfully.

“Mommy!”

“Mommy!”

Before Melanie got out of the car, she saw Ethan and Elias running toward her.
