After walking into the living room, Melinda said to Gael, “I’m going to drop by Sunnyvale today. One of

the residents hurt his leg yesterday. If Stanley calls, tell him I’m sleeping. I’ll be back before he gets off

work.”

“Alright.” Gael felt grateful and was willing to cover up for her when it wasn’t an unreasonable request.

Melinda had gone upstairs to get her bag when Jennifer came walking in with Stephanie and two

bodyguards behind her.

Gael was taken aback by this. Jennifer was of frail health and couldn’t be out in the sun, so she rarely

came

over.

“Hello, Mrs. Fox.” Gael bowed in greeting.

Stephanie passed the black umbrella to the bodyguard behind her before holding Jennifer by the arm.

Jennifer was wearing an exquisite mask that covered half her face. Her long–sleeved, floor–length

dress and white lace gloves kept her skin completely covered up. She gave off an imposing aur

aura with every step

– she took.

“Where’s Melinda?” Jennifer’s tone was icy.

“Madam’s upstairs,” Gael carefully replied. “She went up to get her things, so she’ll be right back.”

Then, he secretly took his phone out to make a call.

Jennifer saw what he was trying to do. “Whom do you intend to call?” she questioned coldly.

Gael’s phone nearly fell out of his trembling hands. He dared not look Jennifer in the eye.

Before he could explain himself, Jennifer declared threateningly, “Don’t you dare call Stanley!” Her

piercing eyes swept across the room. “If anyone calls Stanley, I’ll fire them right away!”

The maids froze in their places. They were so frightened, they could scarcely breathe.

Stephanie helped Jennifer over to the couch, and the latter fixed her eyes on the staircase as she

waited for Melinda to come down.

Meanwhile, Stanley was sitting in the back of the Lamborghini that was taking him to the office. The

soft morning sunlight filtered through the window and fell upon his face, making him look even more

dashing.

I know I should keep my guard up against Melinda. I know full well that she’s an enigmatic person.

Yet, before his subordinates reported her movements to Stanley, he had already gone to Sunnyvale to

look for her.

Not only did he eat the spaghetti she made, but he even brought her back to his place and got her in

bed with him…

Stanley had no idea what was up with him. All he could think about was her. In his 38 years of living, it

was his first time losing control,

The light dazzled in the large living room at Emerald Harbor. The marble floor was smooth and polished

enough to see one’s reflection.

Chapter 39 An Ominous Arrival

Jennifer and Melinda sat across from each other with the coffee table between them while Gael and

Sherry stood behind Melinda.

Stephanie and the two bodyguards stood behind Jennifer. It looked like a parley was about to happen.

“I came here to take a look at my grandchildren.” Jennifer’s gaze was as sharp as a knife. “I want to

see what they have become after spending six years with you.”

“They’ve left for their kindergarten. It won’t make any difference if you saw me instead.”

Melinda’s calm, unruffled response made Jennifer’s eyes flash with fury. Even Gael worried on

Melinda’s behalf. The atmosphere in the living room grew even tenser…

Jennifer’s eyes darkened. “Leave us, all of you.”

Melinda didn’t say anything, but she didn’t seem afraid either.

On the other hand, Stephanie was worried. She was afraid that Jennifer would be at a disadvantage as

she had seen how tough Melinda was the last time and knew that the latter was not one to be trifled

with.

Gael and Sherry had to comply with Jennifer’s command. They walked out of the living room despite

their concern.

Stephanie also had to follow the bodyguards back out. She stood by the door to the living room and

kept her eyes fixed on what was happening inside to make sure Jennifer didn’t suffer any grievance.

Melinda leaned forward and carefully poured two cups of tea.

Jennifer eyed her the whole time, her expression as cold as ever. “Have you heard of someone named

Monica Keller?”

Melinda remained quiet.

“She’s an orphan. When she was 11, I began supporting her financially. From the very first moment I

laid eyes on her, I knew she was a special girl. She has the kind of determination in her eyes that

people in the business world have. The Fox Family has provided financial assistance to countless

students, but she’s the only one who stood out among them. She’s willing to work hard and defy the

odds against her, but she never complains about her situation. She worked hard in her studies and

often stayed up until 5.00AM. Everyone else had a hard time just keeping up with one major in college,

but she took over a dozen at once. To me, she’s an extremely talented girl. She did her internship at

Fox Group and worked her way to becoming a vice president. She’s the one both Stanley and I trust

the most. She’s Stanley’s right–hand woman and they make the perfect couple.”

Melinda wasn’t interested in Monica’s background at all. In fact, she wasn’t interested in Monica in any

way.

“In case you don’t understand, I’ll put it this way. I groomed Monica to be my daughter–in–law.” Jennifer

took a sip of tea before seemingly announcing, “That’s why I gave her power in the company.”

Then, she set the cup down and eyed Melinda with scrutiny. “Are you listening?” She realized that the

young woman in front of her had no reaction at all, not even a crease in her brows.
