Chapter 90 Mommy Knows Everything
Stanley had a gentle expression, with a mere smile on his lips. Since he did not take a stance, Melinda
did not escalate the situation. She let go of his hand and changed the subject in a relaxed tone. “What
were you thinking about alone by the fountain? Why didn’t you chat with the Queen?”
“Having you by my side is enough.” He took her hand and said, “Come, let’s try the cake. The pastry
chef tonight is from Findel, and he’s very skilled. He put down his glass of wine as he talked. Ever since
he had been drugged seven years ago, he had learned his lesson.

When the news came out that the Queen of Brundela had ultimately chosen the work of Melinda and
bought them at several times their original price, it sparked a wave of discussions online. Could Mrs.
Fox, who helped with poverty alleviation in the village, turn out to be a designer?
Various versions of speculation had emerged. The most widely circulated version was that Stanley had
done everything he could to give her his work to prevent the public from talking about his marriage to a
country bumpkin.
Jennifer, who was in Repulse Bay, was infuriated when she saw this news. “This is absurd!”

tonight.” Stephanie brought her a cup of tea.xo.com fast update
“Stanley is letting this girl steal Monica’s thunder!” Jennifer’s eyes grew colder. “He’s doing this on
purpose to go against me.”
“Mrs. Fox-”
“She can design? And even catch the eye of the Queen of Brundela?” Jennifer sneered. “Does she not
know her worth? What did she do to make my son so infatuated with her?”
“Don’t be worked up, Mrs. Fox. It’s not good for your body.”
“Since this woman married Stanley, the number of times he has visited me has noticeably decreased!”
That night, in a brightly lit mansion at Emerald Harbor, Melinda, dressed in comfortable home clothes,
entered the children’s room with a serious expression before shutting the door.
Samuel and Pamela stood before her, looking like two children who had done something wrong. The
silence in the room made their heads buzz.
“Did you two have anything to do with the leak of the design sketches?” Melinda questioned sternly.
“Tell me the truth.”
As expected. Mommy knows everything. Samuel had no choice but to nod, but he was also aggrieved.
“Even Daddy didn’t ask me Why are you asking me? And you seem very angry. You should be happy
that you’ve gained the recognition of the Queen of Brundela. No one would dare say you’re not worthy
of Daddy anymore.”
Outside the door, Stanley withdrew his hand from knocking and stopped in his tracks.

discuss it with me and acted rashly. That’s taking a risk! You’re risking your Daddy’s company!”
Hearing that. Stanley furrowed his brows lightly.
“If I had discussed it with you, you would never have agreed. Samuel had his reasons.
Meanwhile, Pamela lowered her head. “Don’t blame Samuel, Mommy. He did it for you.”
“Do you still not realize you’re in the wrong? You still have the nerve to justify it?” Melinda glared at
them coldly. “Samuel, if it weren’t for me cleaning up behind you, I wouldn’t even bother with the Fox
Group’s business. Do you not know that the more I expose myself, the more he’ll get triggered by me?
You think you’re doing this for me?”
“But he’s Daddy. We said we would face hardships together.” Samuel was being stubborn.
This hardship was caused by you!” Melinda pointed at him, warning him. “Listen to me. If there’s a next
time, I’ll disown you.”
Outside the door, Stanley’s face suddenly darkened, and he turned and left. Back in his room, he
opened the liquor cabinet and took out two highball glasses and a bottle of red wine. As he poured two
glasses of wine, he recalled Melinda’s conversation with the children. Designer Emma, the Herbs
Expert, Chloe Blackwood… She is a treasure. How can she be so low-key? It’s no wonder she raised
the kids so well.
When Melinda entered the room, she smelled alcohol and saw him by the window. “To express my
gratitude, I plan to take you out on a date tomorrow,” he said, holding up his glass as he turned around.
