Chapter 304 Coordinated Performance

Pushing open the door of the private room, a gust of cold wind blew in. Melanie felt herself sobering up.

She suddenly thought of something.

Luis wouldn’t have invited her and Quincy as third wheelers for no reason. Could it be that he sensed

something unusual between her and Jeffrey, so he was testing the waters?

From the Angle family’s centennial celebration to the vast mountain racecourse, wherever Luis paid

attention, Jeffrey was there protecting her. Upon careful consideration, this was very likely Luis’s

intention.

If he found out that there was more than met the eye between Jeffrey and her, Luis might have other

plans. If he was determined to have his daughter marry into the Morgans, he might secretly deal with

her.

Having figured this out, Melanie’s heart suddenly felt less heavy. Leaning against the door, she took a

moment to collect herself before turning to go back. Just as she reached out to push the door, it

opened from the inside.

Melanie was startled. She unexpectedly ran into Jeffrey, who was also standing by the door.

“You…?” They both asked in unison.

“President Morgan, please-” Melanie quickly reacted and gave way to Jeffrey, maintaining a calm

demeanor.

Jeffrey pursed his lips. He had been sitting uncomfortably in the private room for a few minutes,

intending to come out to explain things to her. Luis seemed to have some ulterior motives tonight, and

he didn’t want her

to fall into Luis’s trap.

Unexpectedly, she returned so quickly, leaving him no choice but to go to the restroom to make it look

natural…

Just now, when Melanie went out, Jeffrey quickly found an excuse to leave. Due to this, Luis had some

suspicions, but now Melanie suddenly came back. She couldn’t have had time to meet Jeffrey outside.

Luis

was now puzzled.

After some casual conversation, Jeffrey returned. He took less time than Melanie.

“President Morgan, how do you know Miss Melanie and Mr. Quicksilver? I noticed that you. and Miss

Melanie seemed to be familiar with each other during the Angle family’s centennial celebration,” Luis

couldn’t help but

ask.

Melanie blinked and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. A cold smile played on her lips. It seemed

that… her guess was correct.

Before Jeffrey could speak, Melanie answered pre-emptively, “Before I entered Jones Enterprise, I ran

a small

company myself and once bid for a project of Morgan Group. That’s how I had the pleasure of getting

to know President Morgan. Otherwise, how could someone like President Morgan, a high-profile figure,

be acquainted

with us?”

“Cough!” Jeffrey was just about to take a sip of water, and accidentally choked.

“President Morgan has high standards for himself, and his management style is effective. He is a

and said, “I also propose a toast to President Morgan. I want to learn more from you!”

Jeffrey was stunned for two seconds. Just as he was about to pick up the glass, the articulate woman

across

from him spoke again.

“Oh. I forgot. President Morgan rarely accepts toasts from others. I’ll drink the wine myself, then.” After

that, she downed the glass of wine.

Setting down the glass, Melanie’s eyes flashed as she deliberately looked at Isla on the opposite side.

“Miss Romero, you are lucky. President Morgan drank a sip, even if it’s just water.”

After that, she sat down. Jeffrey’s expression became complicated as he looked at Melanie.

“Is that so?” When Isla, who was inexperienced, heard Melanie say this, she couldn’t contain her

excitement. “I thought I was too young and childish, and President Morgan might not like it…”

“How could that be?” Melanie immediately continued, “President Morgan, after being in the business

world for so many years, has seen through human nature. What he likes the most is the innocence of

those who don’t understand the ways of the world. Someone like you, Miss Romero. Isn’t that right, Mr.

Quicksilver?”

Quincy, who was suddenly cued, could only vaguely respond. “Yes, yes…”

Isla was overjoyed, her face blushing. She stared at Jeffrey, and Jeffrey pursed his lips. He decided to

let this

go for now.

After a brief awkwardness, Jeffrey guessed that Melanie already had other plans. Since that was the

case, he had to cooperate with the performance and not spoil her show.

Finally, the awkward dinner ended.

Everyone left the restaurant, all deep in their thoughts. There was a bit of rain outside, so it was cold

and the

road was slippery.

Luis was on the phone all the time, and Isla had no one to rely on. She deliberately took the opportunity

to walk beside Jeffrey. She was wearing high heels so had some difficulty with walking. She

occasionally pulled on Jeffrey’s sleeve, appearing cute, lovely, and ambiguous.

Melanie glanced coldly at the scene. She knew this was all part of her plan, but Jeffrey seemed to be

cooperating too much.

Melanie thought she wouldn’t care, but she couldn’t help but watch their interaction. It didn’t take long

for Isla to accidentally step into a puddle of water, and she fell into Jeffrey’s arms. She made a few

flirtatious sounds, seeming to have sprained her foot, and thanked him tearfully.

Jeffrey didn’t say anything, his deep eyes slowly looking at Melanie. He saw a flash of coldness in her

eyes.

She seemed furious.

He quickly signaled William to take Isla to the car. When he turned back around, he saw that Melanie

had already gotten into the car. He could only wait for William to come back.

In the car, Quincy asked in confusion, “Miss Melanie, at the dinner today… Did you really want to help

“Do you think they’re a good match?” Melanie questioned him instead.

“It’s quite a match, especially in terms of background. However, I wouldn’t dare speculate what his

preferences are.”

The phrase “quite a match” caused a slight ripple in Melanie’s calm heart for a moment. At this

moment, the car suddenly shook violently. The driver said anxiously, “What does the car behind want to

do?”

Melanie looked out the window. A car behind them on the right was rapidly approaching them with a

menacing momentum!
