Chapter 124 Chapter 124 Clyde had only injured his hand. Other than that, he was fine. Kayla had got simported medicine, costing thousands of dollars per pill. No wonder it worked wonders.
As for me, I needed regular check-ups to ensure I was in good health. When I left the hospital, Jade and Eliana waited at the entrance with flowers, cheering, "Let's celebrate Melanie's discharge. May God bless her forever!" I quickly put on a hat and a mask, pretending I didn't know these two clowns, but they caught up with me. Clyde seemed over the moon, insisting on keeping the flowers at home. It looked like the kidnapping had brought Clyde andcloser, almost like when we first married. Everything was great except that we weren't hitting the sheets.
After resting for several days, I returned to work, only to find everything had changed. Almost everyone greetedwarmly, their eyes no longer filled with disdain.

It confirmed the office rumors that I was Clyde's true love. No one sawas the gold-digger anymore but the cherished Mrs. Patterson. Seven said ours was a love story that blossomed after marriage, with Clyde being the prodigal son who had finally seen the light.
I paid no mind to the gossip, focusing instead on the overpass project. Because of my ordeal, the project had fallen behind schedule, but there was no room for further delays.
When Vinson dropped by the office, I was stunned. He had lost weight, looking utterly exhausted. He had textedduring my absence, inquiring about my well-being but never mentioning his own.
When thinking about it, I found it was odd. Knowing what had happened to me, Vinson should have visited, but he didn't.
"Sorry, I had strouble with a project overseas and just got back. How are you holding up?" Vinson asked. It becclear he was juggling too much, running himself ragged.
I answered with a faint smile, "You can see for yourself. I'm fine now. Don't worry. Here to discuss the overpass project?" Before bringing up the project, Vinson gavea once-over, ensuring I looked good.
Everyone knew the significance of the project. it pulled off successfully, it could improve our chances in future bids, not to !! mention the lucrative profits. We might have started collaborating if it weren't for Clyde's interference.

"Vinson, I do recognize your capabilities and those of Aspire m World. Ideally, we should join forces, but Clyde... Let's go to see him together. The Patterson Group is still his domain." Vinson nodded. "Your husband is quite the handful." I let out a sheepish chuckle. That was putting it lightly.
Clyde was normally all calm and collected, but for sreason, he was really butting heads with Vinson.
Approaching Clyde's office, I was surprised to find a stunning woman dressed provocatively, leaning across the desk, laughing and chatting with Clyde.
"Mel, watch out for this one. She's trouble," Lina warned, clutching an stack of files and giving the woman a disdainful look. "Who is she?" I frowned at the woman. Her profile seemed familiar, but I couldn't place her.
