Chapter III Can’t Let Her Enjoy Herself
Stanley stood still as his gaze focused on Mervin through the telescope, his deep and piercing eyes
carrying a hint of iciness. Turns out she woke up early just to see him, huh? I suppose they chose such
a desolate meeting place to avoid the media,
In the courtyard on the other side of the river, there was laughter and joy as everyone chatted and
enjoyed themselves in a relaxed atmosphere.
Mervin handed the grilled squid in his hand to Melinda. “Give it a try. This is my specialty. I control the
heat and timing very well.”
“Thank you.” She reached out and took it, still wondering about his relationship with Stanley,
Meanwhile, he took the undercooked food from her hands and continued grilling it for her, their entire
interaction observed by Stanley. They look really intimate!
“Mr. Fox.” Max approached him and reported softly. “If you think there aren’t any problems with this
piece of land, we can finalize this project since the others find it suitable.”

His reaction surprised Max. What’s wrong with him?
Just as Stanley got into the car, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. The pain was intense!
“What’s wrong, Mr. Fox?” asked the driver as he turned around.
At this moment, Max came over and noticed that something was wrong with Stanley. “Mr. Fox, what’s
wrong?”
“My stomach hurts….” Stanley leaned back against the seat while covering his abdomen with one
hand, his anger simmering within him..
Max quickly said a few words to the executives, then got into the car as well. “To the hospital! Hurry!”
The driver realized what was happening and quickly started the car.xo.com fast update
Stanley had never felt such pain in his stomach before, so he didn’t refuse to go to the hospital. Soon,
sweat beads started to appear on his forehead.
At such a sight, Max couldn’t help but worry. “Drive faster, Zack!”
“Okay!” However, the car was already speeding.
Stanley closed his eyes and leaned against the seat, his expression filled with pain. It was then he
realized the overnight cake he had eaten in the morning upset his stomach. As he frowned slightly, it
was obvious that he was bearing the discomfort.
Just then, the scene of Mervin having a barbecue with Melinda flashed across his mind. Suddenly, a
burning anger coursed through his veins. Did she arrange to meet him in such a secluded place to
avoid the media? Why did she go to the company last night, then? What a hypocrite!
“Hold on a little longer, Mr. Fox. We’ll arrive at the hospital in no time. Feeling distraught, Max picked up
his phone and contacted the hospital’s ER department as the car raced toward the hospital.
“Call Melinda,” Stanley said with a tinge of jealousy. “Tell her to go to the hospital.” How dare she enjoy
herself with Mervin? I only got a stomach ache because of the cake she made!
At his words, Max was momentarily stunned, but he took out his phone. “What’s her number?”
Stanley recited the number effortlessly without even opening his eyes.

As instructed, Max dialed the number.
At this moment, Melinda had eaten the squid and was now enjoying some delicious grilled corn at
Jessica’s villa. As her phone rang, she took it out and glanced at the caller ID before answering
the call.
When Max informed her about the situation on their end, she put down the corn right away and
grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth. She then sought out Jessica, who was having fun with her friends.
“Jessica, I have to go now,”
Instantly. Jessica stopped Melinda in her tracks. “What’s so urgent?”
Melinda didn’t say anything. After all, she didn’t know Stanley’s current situation, and since there were
many people around, she was afraid of creating gossip. In the end, she just smiled at Jessica and
gently tugged on her arm. “Let’s meet some other day. I have something urgent to attend to.”
With that, Mervin watched as Melinda got into the car. He didn’t chase after her, nor did he know the
reason for her departure.
Melinda was a skilled driver, and she drove 200 miles per hour. While gripping the steering wheel
tightly, she headed straight for the hospital. From the tone of Mar’s voice, it seems that Stanley’s
stomach ache is quite serious!
