Chapter 373 Showing No Mercy

“You Shut up!” Harlow yelled in frustration, with no way of refuting Melanie.

“Why are you getting angry, Mr. Harlow? Did I say anything wrong?” Melanie’s voice turned cold,

refusing to spare him.

Everyone else understood what was going on and that everything turned out to be Harlow’s ploy.

He wanted Melanie and Gabriel to be photographed together in the fragrance blending room, and

deliberately created an opportunity to show the Yorks the footage so Melanie’s reputation would be torn

to shreds.

The Yorks knew that Leo was pursuing Melanie. If Melanie’s reputation was ruined, Leo would in turn

become the butt of everyone’s jokes.

The Yorks’ heirs were brothers, but everyone knew how insignificant brotherly ties were in the face of

inheritance issues.

“I’m sorry for ruining the mood. The dinner is about to start. Leo, bring Melanie here.”

Joseph kept his gaze down, making it difficult to tell his mood right now. He finally urged Leo to bring

Melanie to the dinner banquet after he had enough of listening to everyone’s whispers about what just

happened.

Melanie nodded at Joseph’s suggestion, and left with Leo.

“Everyone, please head over for dinner.”

The butler knew what Joseph wanted to do, and echoed his sentiments to the family members standing

behind them.

As everyone started leaving the backyard, Harlow wanted to seize the chance to slink out. Just then,

Joseph

said in a low voice, “Harlow! Stay right here!”

Harlow trembled with fear, and stayed back obediently.

Leo was walking Melanie out of the glass room when his phone rang. His face changed when he

glanced at

the number on his screen, and he momentarily forgot that he was leading the way for Melanie.

After pausing for a moment, he looked up and said awkwardly to her, “Pardon me, I’ll let one of the

servants

bring you to the hall. I need to make a call.”

“Sure, go ahead,” she said, nodding understandingly.

The dinner banquet was held at a huge hall with three doors. A servant let her through two corridors

before

finally arriving at the hall. By the time they reached, she was panting and sweating at her brow from

brisk- walking all the way.

She wasn’t as physically fit as she was before, she thought darkly.

Just then, someone handed her a napkin from behind. She looked up, and saw that it was Jeffrey. Her

hand froze midair, and she didn’t take the napkin.

Just then, Leo rushed over from behind and scolded the servant who brought Melanie over. “Miss

Melanie is wearing heels. Why did you walk so fast?!”

“It’s not her fault, I didn’t rest well these two days.” Melanie smiled politely. “I’ll just freshen up in the

washroom.”

“I’ll escort you,” Leo said, as hurriedly led the way.

Some guests couldn’t help but gossip behind them. “I heard she has become quite the star in the York

family

these days.”

“Yeah. That malachite jewelry set she’s wearing was the set that Mr. Leo York bid for and purchased for

a huge sum just a few days ago! It’s worth 7.5 million dollars…”

“Seriously… Things are getting serious between them…..”

Jeffrey’s face turned dark.

When they reached the washroom, Melanie told Leo to head back to the hall to receive guests while

she headed in to freshen up her makeup.

Leo nodded. “I’ll come back to look for you. I have something that I need your help with.”

“What is it?” Melanie said with surprise.

Leo smiled graciously. “I wanted to sponsor the Siberian Butterflies you.concocted the last time, but I

was too late. I don’t want to miss out on sponsoring your entry for the international competition this

time.”

Melanie smiled coyly. Since Leo had made his request clear, she said, “Sure. We’ll talk about this in

further detail later on.”

Outside the washroom, Harlow immediately saw Leo and Melanie chatting so intimately with each

other. He pulled out his napkin, and spat out a whole mouthful of blood!

Grandpa didn’t show him any mercy at all!

Seeing Leo’s smug expression made him uncomfortable.

He just didn’t understand. Grandpa clearly wanted him to inherit the family business. The man had

never held his weak and sickly younger brother in high regard.

Why did Grandpa suddenly find Leo such a great support in the form of a capable woman like Melanie

Jones? Even the most neutral member of the family could tell that Grandpa was having second

thoughts about the potential heir of the Yorks’ business.
