Chapter 1924 "If she really has gone abroad, then tellwhere she went, what her flight number is, and I'll follow her.
" The servant's eyes widened in disbelief at her audacity.
"Are you here just to cause trouble? I don't even know who you are.
How can you expectto give you her flight details? You're being unreasonable.
I've told you Miss Glyn is not here, yet you persist!” The servant firmly blocked Ryleigh's path, his patience wearing thin.
"If you weren't just a young girl, I would have called a bodyguard by now! Leave, now!" "No way! I'm going to wait right here until Melina comes back!" Ryleigh declared defiantly, setting her jaw.
"Then keep waiting here," the servant muttered, seemingly suspecting that Ryleigh might be disturbed. With a dismissive shake of his head, he turned and walked back inside, slamming the door behind him. Left alone outside, Ryleigh immediately tried calling Melina, only to be met with a busy tone.
"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off.
Please redial later..." Frustrated, she hung up and repeatedly tried the number, her fingers trembling as she poked at her phone screen.
Inside, the servant who had dealt with Ryleigh dialed Melina to report the encounter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Miss Glyn, Miss Hopkins clooking for you today.
Lying on a beach chair under the radiant sun, Melina responded lazily, "What did she want?" "She seemed quite panicked.
I suspect she didn't achieve what she wanted.
" Knowing Ryleigh's limitations, Melina took a leisurely sip of her drink and instructed coolly, "Get rid of her.
She's of no use to us.
Also, unless it's urgent, don't let anyone disturb me.
I'm on vacation abroad and I'm not interested in dealing with domestic issues right now.
"Yes, Miss Glyn," the servant acknowledged.
He covered the phone and glanced up the stairs, his voice dropping to a whisper.
"And what should I tell Mr.
and Mrs.
Glyn, if they ask...?" Melina's voice chilled.
"Don't worry about them.
Their schemes have failed.
They're too preoccupied to concern themselves with my whereabouts.
" After ending the call, Melina was just about to set her phone aside when it rang again.
She glanced at the caller ID, her eyebrows lifting slightly in surprise.
Swiping the screen, she answered, "Mr.
Moreno, to what do I owe the pleasure of your call?" Brodie's voice, tinged with exasperation, cthrough.
"Melina, why has the Glyn family withdrawn their investment?" Melina chuckled dryly, her tone laced with sarcasm.
"If we hadn't pulled our investment, should we have just waited to go bankrupt alongside you?" Brodie remained quiet for a moment, seemingly trying to contain his fury.
He then said, "Melina, since you have the nerve to leave the country, don't bother coming back!" "Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMoreno, there's no need for anger.
Remember, we've been business associates.
Even if we're no longer working together, we shouldn't damage our relationship over this," Melina replied nonchalantly.
"Or, are you the kind of person who plots against others without om considering the consequences and gets mad when others plot against him?" On the other end, Brodie's voice grew colder.
"Melina, don't forget that while you're abroad, your parents are still here.
If you refuse to return, I won't leave them be!" "Do as you wish.
They never cared aboutanyway.
In fact, you'd be doinga favor by dealing with them,” Melina replied with a chuckle.
Sighing, she continued, "But, Mr.
Moreno, maybe you should focus on your own problems first.
The Mitchell Group has strangled your company's funding and it looks like you're running out of time. How on earth do you still have tto make trouble for me?" Shaking her head, her tone sharpened.
"You'd better go sort out your mess.
I'm ending this call.
