Triplet Mommy’s Triumphant Return by Quinn Hart

Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Congratulations To Vanessa!

After settling down in Harbour Villa, Melanie went to work at Rising Star the next day.

Since Melanie returned to Zerivia this time, her uncle, Stanley Thomas, gave her full support and directly appointed her as the CEO of Rising Star Auction Beloris Branch.

Standing in front of the French glass window of the CEO’s office, Melanie stared at Steve’s Art Gallery on Springerglow Avenue in the distance.

Melanie remembered Sherry saying that what she wanted most was to run a small gallery with Steve. She wanted to paint and hold exhibitions. She wanted to live a lively and peaceful life.

But when Melanie was one year old, Steve suddenly upgraded the small gallery into an art museum.

After more than a decade of operation, Steve was now one of the top art dealers in Beloris.

“Mom didn’t want it at all,” Melanie murmured with her fingers clenching.

Just as Melanie was lost in thought, Angie pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Melanie’s upset face, Angie reached out and stuffed a chocolate into Melanie’s mouth.

“Melanie, I have good news for you,” Angie said mysteriously.

“What good news? Did Sam have any discovery?” Melanie asked. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“How did you know?” Angie was a little surprised.

Then Angie continued with a smile, “Tomorrow is the engagement of Vanessa and Ryan Smith. Oh, there’s quite a surprise in store for them!”

“Okay, just do it neatly,” said Melanie.

While they were talking, Jeff Lewis, Melanie’s assistant, came in with an awkward look.

“Ms. Robertson, there are many people outside who want to see you. One of them claims to be your father…” Jeff said.

“Steve?” Angie blurted out and looked at Melanie in surprise.

Melanie didn’t say anything and was lost in thought with a cup of coffee in her hand.

The steam in the coffee cup clouded Melanie’s face. Angie and Jeff couldn’t see her expression clearly.

However, Angie smiled and said, “He’s here soon. He came to recognize you as his daughter on the first day you come back to work.”

“Let him in,” said Melanie.

Then Melanie put down her coffee cup and said, “Please bring him in, Jeff.”

When Steve came in, he saw Melanie sitting on the spacious chair.

Melanie was dressed in decent business attire. Her pretty face was still attractive.

Melanie’s bright eyes were even more captivating.

Steve was slightly shocked.

His daughter looked more and more like his dead ex-wife.

Their eyes, as pure as the finest diamonds, appeared capable of illuminating all the world’s impurities and perceiving everything within.

Steve calmed himself down and put on a smile.

“Mela, it’s really you. I thought it was…” Steve said.

“What? Did you think it was an impostor?” Melanie said.

She stood up and smiled at Steve.

“My dear father, do you really think I was dead?” Melanie asked.

Hearing this, Steve turned embarrassed. His lips trembled slightly.

“Mela, I had no choice back then. Please forgive me!” Steve said.

“Forgive you?”

Melanie sneered and continued, “Was I not considerate enough? I have been considerate of you to let your dear daughter Vanessa slander me when I have been abroad these years. What else do you want from me?”

“Mela…”

Steve was a little flustered.

He didn’t expect that his obedient daughter was so sharp now.

Her every word was precisely and fiercely pierced into his heart.

“Mela, it’s the first time we have met after so many years. Can we stop talking about the past first?” Steve asked.

Steve dodged Melanie’s stare and continued, “Now that you are the CEO of Rising Star, I will count on you in the future.”

Looking at Steve’s cowardly appearance, Melanie suddenly had a strong doubt in her heart.

Was this man really her father?

Was he really the man whom Sherry would marry even if she had to fall out with her parents?

Melanie felt disappointed and suddenly bored.

“Mela, tomorrow is your sister’s engagement day. I hope you can attend as the CEO of Rising Star,” Steve said.

“Well, what a pity, father. I don’t have time,” said Melanie.

She sneered and added, “But I will send the gift on time. Congratulations on Vanessa’s happy marriage!”

Steve looked surprised. Thinking of the gift that was about to shock the whole Beloris, Melanie was beyond delighted.

Melanie believed the Robertson family would be pleased with the gift.

“Mela… You…”

Steve opened his mouth wide and couldn’t say a word for a long time.

Originally, Steve had planned to invite Melanie to the engagement party of Vanessa and Ryan so that he could show off.

After all, most of the people who dealt with Steve were art dealers or industry players.

For those people, most of their annual income came from the annual Four Season Auction. If they could connect with the world’s largest auction company, Rising Star Auction, it would bring them great benefits.

But Melanie’s simple refusal was out of Steve’s expectation.

She was like a completely different person.
