Chapter 504

“It’s late. We should get some rest. Melanie is going to have a meeting tomorrow at eight in the morning,” Oscar uttered.

He was an extremely powerful person. Therefore, he had to get something beneficial out of the Economic Work Conference the next day.

“This woman is really terrifying. She became a high-ranking official when she was only twenty-eight years old. She’s even giving a speech at the Nations’ Union conference in three months,” Oscar muttered to himself.

A look of amazement appeared on his chubby face when he talked about Melanie.

The Sanchez family was not a part of the Ten Prestigious Families, but Melanie’s powers had surpassed everyone from the prestigious families.

“Sebastian, I know you’re a lecherous person, but you must never mess with Melanie. Do you understand?” Oscar turned around and cast Sebastian a frown.

Sebastian lowered his head. “I understand.”

“There’s something really suspicious about who tore down the Freedman clan’s mausoleum. Besides, you didn’t even tell your dad the truth. But that’s okay. I’ll get to the bottom of it during this trip to Pollerton,” Oscar said indifferently.

Sebastian’s father, Frederick, had been working madly ever since the Freedman clan’s mausoleum was torn down. He even had to get help from the Martial God of the Freedman clan to suppress the news.

Even the inside news of the matter was sealed off.

The Martial God of the Freedman clan had only said one sentence concerning the matter, and that was, “Don’t look into this matter anymore.”

Since then, no one in the Freedman clan dared to investigate the matter.

Oscar, however, ignored the instruction. He was determined to get to the bottom of it.

Pollerton was rather peaceful in the middle of the night. Nonetheless, private planes continued landing at the airport to make preparations for the Economic Work Conference the next day.

The purpose of the Economic Work Conference was to re-strategize the development of Pollerton, such as the collaborations and how to carry them out. That was going to be re-planned during the conference.

When it was eight o’clock the next day, Pollerton was already bustling with noise.

Meanwhile, Jennifer received a text from Braxton as soon as she woke up. It read: Jennifer, are you awake? This is Braxton.

Jennifer took a sip of soy milk and replied: I’m awake.

She also included a smiley emoji.

Right then, Kevin walked over with an icy expression. His eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw the words on Jennifer’s phone screen. “Jennifer, is that Braxton?”

Jennifer nodded.

Kevin became excited right away. “Is he interested in you? Jennifer, I’m telling you. You must seize this opportunity and not make stupid decisions. After all, he’s handsome and also the heir to a prestigious family, the Irving family.”

Hearing the commotion, Leonard and Linda rushed over immediately. “Are you guys talking about Braxton Irving? Oh my goodness!”

“Jennifer, this is our chance to turn things around. You’ve got to seize this opportunity!” Leonard said earnestly.

Linda chimed in as well, “Exactly. Haven’t you noticed it? Ever since you married Donald, all the youngsters you’ve encountered are better than him. So, stop thinking about that jerk already. He’s a piece of trash.”

Jennifer said exasperatedly, “You’re thinking too much. We’ve only met once. We’re barely even friends.”

“Look. He sent you another message.” Kevin spotted the incoming message and pointed at the phone.

Sure enough, Braxton had sent another text, which read: Are you going to the Economic Work Conference? I can pick you up.

“Say yes! Oh, say yes!” Linda leaped excitedly.

Alas, Jennifer shook her head. “Forget it.”

To her dismay, Kevin snatched the phone and quickly typed into the chat interface: Oh, yes. Please come and pick me up. I’ll be waiting for you.

Jennifer’s face fell. “Kevin, what are you doing?”

Holding up the phone, Kevin said proudly, “This is Braxton we’re talking about. He’s tall, rich, and handsome. What are you hesitating for? I would’ve said yes if I were a woman.”

Jennifer was exasperated. She felt as if everything was a total mess. “I don’t need you to interfere with my affairs.”

Kevin replied, “I won’t if you date Braxton.”
