Chapter 36
When Melanie arrived at her office and opened the door, she saw Angie looking at her with a smile.
Melanie dropped her bag and sat opposite Angie.
“Angie? Are you still the deputy general manager of Rising Star?”
“I didn’t accept it. I work here because I want to help and support you. Otherwise, I would not have come and worked here.”
Angie said that casually.
“So you tricked me in the Lambert manor?”
Hearing that, Angie sat up straight.
“What are you talking about? When did I trick you?”
“How dare you deny it? Then why did you ask me to see Elias first at that time? And why did you leave early?”
Looking at Melanie’s cold face, Angie felt guilty.
“Melanie, can’t I have some private time? I just want to spend more time with
Michael.
“Do you have a crush on him?”
Melanie frowned.
“That man is gentle in appearance. But he has an air of self–importance. He is a bad guy. You can’t see him again.”
Angie jumped up and stamped.
“Melanie, why are you speaking like Grandpa now?”
“When I meet a man who is kind and gentle, you say the man is pretending to be gentle. And when I meet a man who has an air of self–importance, you say he is a bad guy.
“Then do you want me to be single forever?”
“Aren’t you afraid of marrying someone who is not sincere?”

“So what? I can dump him, can’t I?”
Angie looked serious.
Looking at Angie, Melanie was helpless.
“What if the man keeps pestering you?”
“Well, can’t I get rid of him with force?”
“Well, well, you’re capable. If you are not afraid of pain and trouble, just do it.”
Melanie shook her head helplessly and went to work.
Angie was an adult. Melanie couldn’t interfere in Angie’s personal affairs too much.
Two days later, Melanie talked about the preliminary review work for the spring auction with the senior executives of Rising Star.
When Melanie walked out of the conference room after the meeting, she saw Jeff who seemed to have something to report to her.
After Melanie returned to her office, Melanie found that Jeff followed her all the
way.
“What’s going on? Tell me!”
Melanie threw the papers in her hand on the table and picked up the coffee that had cooled.
Jeff immediately stepped forward and said, “Ms. Robertson, Ms. Thomas said you. can’t drink cold coffee.”
Just then, Angie came in. She took away the cold coffee in Melanie’s hand and handed her a hot one.
Melanie was refreshed by the smell of coffee and drank more than half a cup at a gulp.
“You blamed me before. If I’m not here, I’m afraid you would die of thirst,” Angie joked.
“How can I drink water in a meeting?”
Melanie looked at Angie with a smile and said, “This coffee tastes good. Buy more.”
“There are plenty of them. Your mother–in–law sent a truckload of coffee to you.
Jeff didn’t know how to deal with it. What should we do?”
“My mother–in–law?” Melanie was shocked. She then asked. “Who?”
“Jenifer from the Lambert family.” Angie winked.
Melanie was lost for words.
That day, Jennifer said she would send Melanie a truckload of packaged coffee. It turned out that Jennifer was not kidding. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“She sent it here?”
Melanie passed her hand over her forehead.
“So everyone in the company knows that it was sent over by someone from the Lambert family?”
Jeff hurriedly said, “No. The driver just said it’s your mother–in–law who asked him to send that over.”
Hearing that, Melanie breathed a sigh of relief. She said, “Go and distribute the coffee to our staff as gifts.”
After thinking for a while, Melanie added, “Buy something good and send it back to the Lambert Manor.”
Jeff nodded and left with a smile on his face.
When Melanie was worrying about how to clear the misunderstanding the members of the Lambert family made, Angie spoke again.
“When you were in the meeting, Dad and Enzo both called and said they had something to talk about with you.”
Melanie thought that Edward and Ethan had slipped out of the island as soon as she heard that, so she hurriedly called back.
It turned out that Ethan wanted to attend the exhibition in Tooncen with Enzo.
And Edward wanted to go to Yingon with Stanley.
Edward and Ethan kept pleading with Melanie on the phone. In the end, she agreed.
“Melanie, why don’t you let them come here? The three kids can be together again.” Angie stood aside and said casually.
“I’m still worried about Elias though he is in the Lambert family now.”
“Why? The Lambert family loves Elias. It’s a good thing.”
“That’s why he can’t stay there. If one stays in such a place for too long, he will get sick easily.”
Angie was about to ask what the disease was when her phone rang.
“Hello, Jordon.”
“Ms. Thomas, everything is ready. Do you need me to arrange for someone to do it now?”
Angie looked at Melanie and then answered, “Yes.”
“Did you prepare everything, including the proof from the hospital where Vanessa was born and all the doctor’s recordings?”
“Eric prepared those all. There are no mistakes.”
After a while, Angie sneered.
“Jordon said that Steve asked doctors about the human leukocyte antigens matching among sisters. It seems that he thought of you.”
“Really?” Melanie sneered, “It seems that he hasn’t given up yet. Why didn’t I find him so persistent before?”
“What are you talking about? Persistént? I think he is shameless. Jeff has been. careful these days. Otherwise, Steve might have sneaked into your office.”
“Accompany me to meet Vanessa tonight!”
“Why do you want to see her? Your eyes are normal these days. So you are eager to do something now?”
Angie was in a rage at the mention of Steve and Vanessa.
Melanie was silent.
“I want her to speak out about what happened back then.”
“You are looking for trouble. There is no need to do so.”
Seeing the determination in Melanie’s eyes, Angie didn’t say anything more.

“Okay, I can go with you. I’ll ask Roy and Sam to go there first. We can go there. when Vanessa is alone.”
