Even so, this mysterious man would always be the one who gave Melanie a way out whenever she
encountered any kind of trouble.
Five years ago, this man had been the one who told her about what happened between Vania and
Hanson.
This was how she managed to find Vania, seize two children from her, and use them to stay by
Hanson's side.
To this day, she did not know who that man was or why he gave such information to her, and why he
delivered her to Hanson's side.
She also had no idea how the man managed to stop Hanson from finding out the truth about that night.
What was his goal? Melanie could not make head or tail of the situation. Why would that man be so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwell-informed about everything that happened?
However, she could not dwell on this right now. The most important thing now was to attend the
celebratory dinner and meet Hanson.
Melanie rushed downstairs and took the invite before saying to Josie, "Mom, can you find a way to get
some money from Dad? I want to buy a new gown."
"Why do you want to buy a new gown? Aren't you going to wear what you wore when you two first met
to stir his memories?" Josie waited for Melanie's answer.
"He has probably already forgotten all about our first meeting. I want to wear a style I've never worn
before today and show up in front of him in a whole new light." In Melanie's mind, she could already
picture the scene.
Josie nodded and agreed to her request. "I'll get you that money. Oh, by the way, how have you been
getting along with the piano?"
Melanie was confident that she could play the song well, so she said, "Don't worry, Mom. I've practiced
it countless times. I'm ready."
"Great."
Once Melanie got the money from Josie, she went to her favorite boutique to buy an incredibly sexy
gown. She had never worn such a daring gown before.
After changing into her new gown, she made sure her makeup was immaculate before rushing over to
Hammond International Hotel without further ado.
Inside the hotel, many guests had arrived for the celebratory dinner.
Melanie hurriedly handed her invite over at the entrance, and once the guards checked that it was
valid, she rushed in out of fear that someone might recognize her. She kept walking with her head
bowed and did not dare to catch anyone's eye.
She walked to a corner and chose the most discreet seat possible before sitting down in wait for the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmright moment.
Melanie kept a close watch on the entrance. She wanted to see Hanson, who she had not seen in a
long time, and she wanted to see if Vania came with him.
Just as Melanie was occupied with all these thoughts, she heard a voice beside her ring out. "Nice to
meet you. May I have a drink with you?"
At first, Melanie feared that someone had recognized her, but now that she realized it was an unfamiliar
voice, she looked up at the man in front of her.
She found that the man was studying her carefully. He seemed like a man in his thirties with average
looks. There was nothing about him that stood out at all.
His eyes were curious, but she did not see anything else in his gaze, so she did not know what his
intentions were.
Melanie frowned, but a thought flashed across her mind. Anyone who managed to score an invite to
this event would not be someone ordinary.
Therefore, she smiled and raised the wine glass in front of her. "Of course."
The man clinked his glass with hers before taking a sip of wine. He smiled and gave a simple
introduction. "Hi, my name is Chris Jonas. I'm a manager at Epic Media Inc."
