Another hand grabbed Harlow’s hand in midair. He struggled against the hold, and the realization that
he was
overpowered embarrassed him.
“President Morgan! Why are you interfering?!” Harlow yelled at Jeffrey, furious.
“Show some self–respect!” Jeffrey flung Harlow’s arm, and he winced in pain.
Harlow glared at Melanie as he rubbed his arm. “I just don’t understand. Why does Grandpa like you so
much, a social climber who’s still entangled with Jeffrey Morgan?”
“Why don’t you ask him yourself if you’re so curious?” Melanie said coldly.
“Hmph!”
Harlow left in a huff, mumbling under his breath, knowing that he had no chance of taking advantage of
Melanie.
Jeffrey looked at Melanie. When Harlow raised his hand, he saw Melanie subconsciously protecting
their
baby. That meant that she wanted to keep the baby, despite her saying that she wanted to leave him…
That meant he still had a place in her heart…

Jeffrey was moved by that thought, and set his mind on being wherever she went from now on. He
would do everything he could to protect Melanie and their baby!
“Are you alright?” Jeffrey asked.
“I’m not,” Melanie replied coldly to him.
“How are you not? Do you feel unwell?” Jeffrey said in a panic.
Melanie took a step back, keeping a polite distance from him. “Even Harlow knows that we haven’t cut
ties. You’re in the way of me getting married into the Yorks, so of course I’m not alright.”
Jeffrey was stunned to hear her reply, and pursed his lips.
“Please leave me alone, President Morgan,” Melanie said as she made a move to leave.
Jeffrey hurriedly said, “You exposed Harlow’s ploy before everyone in the backyard. His reputation in
the family is ruined, and you’ve achieved your goal, Leave as early as you can.”
“I just came, how could I leave so fast?”
Jeffrey looked at the stubborn woman standing before him, and his brows furrowed. “I know aside from
hitting back at Harlow, you’re here to address the doubts in your heart. But this isn’t Harbor City, and
dangers lurk all
around. You’d better…”
“Since you know that I have other plans, you should stay far away from me. Otherwise, I won’t be able
to find out anything and all I’m left with are the dangers you speak of,” Melanie interrupted. She then
left immediately.

Jeffrey saw a few women intercept Melanie on the dance floor with very hostile expressions.
He wanted to shield her from all dangers, but she insisted on being alone. It made him anxious, but all
he could do was to watch her from afar.
“Melanie Jones?” Kelly intercepted Melanie, looking down on her haughtily from her skyscraper heels.
“You are?” Melanie asked.
“She’s the heiress of the Murray family, Kelly Murray.” Sylvia joined in, and made the introductions.
“Miss Jones is an important guest who came from afar. Are you used to the food here?” Kelly said with
feigned kindness, a wicked look in her eyes.
“I’m not picky.”
“That’s good.”
Kelly sneered, as she turned around to grab a plate. She pointed to the buffet line near them, and said,
“Try this beef. This is superior wagyu sirloin, and its price matches that of the jewelry you’re wearing
around your neck right now! But this is probably your first time eating such a rare piece of steak, I
suppose?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHer tone and her eyes were filled with disdain and provocation.
Melanie sighed inwardly–there was more to Medonia than what meets the eye. She didn’t want to
make more enemies for herself, but she had no intention of tolerating anyone.
“Superior wagyu sirloin does taste good, but I’m afraid it’s not good for you to eat too much of it, Ms.
Murray.”
Kelly was helping herself to the beef when she heard what Melanie said. Kelly looked at Melanie,
wondering
what she meant.
“This superior wagyu sirloin is well–known for its texture as it melts in the mouth and explodes with
flavor in every bite. But aside from flavor, every bite comes with fats and cholesterol. The more marbled
the beef is, the more expensive it is. See how marbled the beef is? You can just imagine how much fats
are in it.”
“Are you calling me fat?” Kelly accused furiously, so much that her eyelashes were trembling.
“Not at all,” Melanie said with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “80% of young people in our midst are
obese. I’m talking about a general trend.”
“Can your words be trusted?” Kelly tried to throw shade on Melanie.
“I’m not the one who made this claim. It’s from the latest big data research results of the agricultural
industry for the last quarter. Just read more and pay more attention to news, and you’ll definitely be
aware of such things,” Melanie explained calmly.
