Chapter 19
“Is Melinda so important?” Monica couldn’t believe it. Did Stanley allow her to live here?” As far as she was concerned, Stanley wasn’t interested in getting intimate with women.
Gael’s silence was the best answer
Monica looked at him, feeling dejected all of a sudden. Her heart seemed to have broken into pieces. Her alluring eyes were filled with disbelief as she was reluctant to accept the truth,
Meanwhile, in the living room, Melinda picked up her phone and dialed Stanley’s number. She sat down on the couch and said, “I’m warning you, Stanley. I don’t care how you flirt with other women outside, but please make sure they won’t come looking for me. It’s making me vexed. I might default on the agreement, you know. If some reporters catch me strolling around with a handsome guy on the street, don’t blame me for tarnishing the Fox Family’s reputation. It’s not like you’re the only man on Earth.”
With that, she hung up the call.
In the minimalist yet stylish president’s office of the Fox Group, the well–dressed man was bewildered Just then, Max entered the office and said, “Mr. Fox, about the things you’ve asked me to look into-”
Stanley raised his hand to cut him off and dialed Gael’s number before whispering. “Did anyone visit?”
“It was Miss Keller who came to visit, Mr. Fox.”
Stanley frowned and ordered calmly. “Modify the security system and make sure her car won’t pass through the gate. Also, ban her from now on.”
“Yes.”
After putting down his phone, Stanley looked at Max and said, “Go on.”
Max then reported respectfully, Tm sorry, Mr. Fox. I’ve failed to find out the relationship between Madam and Shawn. They’re like two strangers.”
That’s odd. At Jessica’s birthday party that night, the way Melinda looked at Shawn showed that they were not strangers Stanley fell into his thoughts, while Max went on to say, “We’re not certain about her relationship with Emma either. You’ve suspected that Madam might be Emma, but we haven’t found any concrete evidence to prove it.” novelxo.com fast update
That’s a futile investigation.
Stanley remained silent. He was certain that Melinda had done something to her background because everything was perfect.
Suddenly thinking of something, he ordered, “Find out how she and Jessica got to know each other. Also, I want information on the man named Jaxon Woodworth from Sunnyvale.”
“Madam is well–versed in medicine. She managed to cure Miss Skarsgard’s grandfather in the past. That’s why Miss Skarsgard admires her and wants to be her apprentice. Those from the village said that Miss Skarsgard had been driving her luxury car to Madam’s house every day for half a year before Madam agreed to be her friend.”
Stanley was surprised at that.
Max continued, “As for Jaxon, he’s 20 years old now. He’s Madam’s apprentice, and he’s been staying by her side since he was 15. Now, he’s a doctor in the village. He’s a young man who focuses on studying medicine and isn’t after fame. Samuel and Pamela get along well with him.”
Max had done a great job. However, Stanley felt that everything was out of hand. His gaze was as dark as ink. He was determined to find out everything about the woman closest to him and ensure she wouldn’t be a ticking time bomb
Contact Jessica. I need to talk to her.”
“Yes,”
Ten minutes later, at a cafe near the Fox Group, Jessica sipped her coffee and looked at the cross– armed man across from her. She felt that the man was incredibly handsome.
As their eyes met, one of them was distant and aloof while the other was innocent and starry–eyed.
“I have no idea about her relationship with Emma. Even if you ask me the same question a thousand times, you’ll get the same answer.” Jessica felt uneasy because of the man’s stare. She put down the coffee and let out a sigh.
Just then, her phone started ringing. She took a look and said, “I have a yoga date with a friend, so I have to get going now.” She picked up her bag and rose from the chair. “Even if you threaten to kill me, you won’t get a different answer!”
With that, she turned around and dashed out of the cafe.
Stanley furrowed his brows. It seemed that he had made the wrong decision to meet up with her, for it was a complete waste of time.
At the same time, he grew curious about Melinda. Why is the mayor’s daughter willing to help her keep a secrét?
Meanwhile, Monica returned to Emerald Harbor. She wanted to drive her car into the place, but the security guard stopped her from doing that.
“I lost an earring!” She looked at him and demanded. “Let me go in and look for it!” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“I’m sorry, Miss Keller.” The security guard turned her down. “Mr. Fox ordered that without his permission, you can never step into Emerald Harbor again!”
