Chapter 1513:
“Should we check in with Alan to see if the materials are ready?” Jessica asked.
“No need,” Melvin replied calmly. “He’ll letknow when everything's done.”
Even so, Jessica couldn't help but worry. The online storm kept brewing well into the afternoon. Sreporters
even tried to catch Jayda at the hotel, hoping to snatch the first exclusive scoop about Melvin. Fortunately, the
hotel's security was tight—no unauthorized person could get through. To block out any fake guests, Alan had all
the rooms cleared for the day, canceling new bookings entirely.
By six in the evening, Melvin had dinner ready. As for Turner, he'd already arranged with the hotel staff to have
his meal delivered separately.

in about an hour. Don’t stress yourself.”
Melvin replied with thanks.

“I know no matter what | say, you'll probably end up exposing me, but have you thought this through?” Even
