Chapter 18


    Chapter 18


    Melinda remembered Stanley’s suspicion about her copying Emma’s workst night, so she carefully


    recalled their conversation Did he believe me or not? Has hepletely given up on his marriage? Is


    he really nning to tie himself to me for the rest of his life?


    It wasn’t until a pair of red high heels caught her eye that she slowly came back to her senses and


    looked up at the owner of the shoes


    A strange and aloof face then came into her sight. While standing, Monica stared at Melinda with a hint


    of hostility in her cold eyes.


    Seeing that, Melinda nced over at the dazzling red Bentley parked not far away and thought, How


    did she get in here?


    “Are you done ying your act?” Monica asked sarcastically, her eyes cold and disdainful. “Do you


    really think a nobody like you can marry rich? Maybe pigs will start flying tomorrow.”


    So much hostility and jealousy! Is she Stanley’s admirer? Melinda remained calm and elegant, like the


    roses behind her. She just put on a smile and ignored Monicapletely.


    “Melinda, right?” Monica’s eyes were deep, shing with disdain. “I don’t know what’s on your mind, but


    I know what Stanley is thinking.”


    Melinda remainedposed. “Oh? Do tell me. I’m all ears.”


    “Stanley isn’t interested in women. His career will alwayse first in his heart.”


    “So?”


    With a mocking tone, Monica announced, “He made such a big scandal with you just to go against Mrs.


    Fox because he doesn’t want to get married!”


    Meanwhile, Melinda calmly took a sip of ginger tea and smiled, not taking these words to heart. She’s


    saying that I was eager to marry him.


    Her unreactive attitude provoked Monica. “I’m talking to you!”


    Hearing that, Melinda looked up as she remained seated on the swing. “I know.”


    “Did you hear what I said?!”


    The more agitated Monica became, the calmer Melinda was. She just wants to pronovelxo fast


    updatevoke me and make me lose my cool. Well, I’m not letting her get under my skin. So, Melinda


    gently set down her porcin cup and asked with a smile, “And who are you? Why do you have such a


    big nose? You seem to have your nose in everyone’s business.”


    “You…” Monica’s eyes twitched.


    “What kind of reaction do you expect from me?” With a smile, Melinda shook her head and looked at


    Monica with clear eyes. “Have you ever heard of a person biting the dog that has bitten them?”


    At this moment, the furious Monica raised her hand to p Melinda.


    Instantly, Melinda stood up and grabbed Monica’s wrist, lifting her delicate hand high in the air.

    Gael, who had just walked out of the living room, saw this scene and hurried over, feeling nervous and


    worried.


    When Melinda applied some pressure with her fingers, she saw Monica’s pupils contract in pain.


    “Let go! Let go of me!” Monica gritted her teeth in pain.


    “If youy a hand on me, you won’t get away with it.” Melinda gave her a hard push, causing her to


    retreat several steps and almost twist her ankle in her high heels.


    Gosh! Does she know martial arts? Ouch!


    “My back hurts today, so I won’t y with you.” Melinda nced at her and then looked toward the bed


    sheets hanging nearby with a slight smile. “Stanley has such good stamina that he could keep me up


    all night and even mess up the sheets. I need to go back and get some rest.” Then, she looked at


    Monica again with a hint of warning. “If you’re angry that he married me, take it out on him.”


    “Stop right there!” Monica was exasperated. “Your back hurts just because of the long hours you spent


    working in the fields previously! Do you think wearing an evening gown makes you a princess? A


    bumpkin will always be a bumpkin! You’re not even worthy of him!”


    “I may not be worthy, but he has already married me. What can you do about it?” Melinda then walked


    away with an arrogant stride and didn’t even look back as she entered the living room.


    “You!”


    What is going on? Hurriedly, Gael approached Monica. “Miss Keller.”


    Monica, who was usually cold and stunning, regained herposure and realized that she had lost


    control of herself. This is all because of that woman!


    “What’s her rtionship with Stanley, Mr. Swanson? How could they be together?” she asked while


    trying to Control her emotions. “I’ve only been gone for two years. How could they have children


    already? Everything is


    just a lie, right? Why didn’t you stop them?”


    “I’m afraid that I can’tment on Mr. Fox and Madam’s matter, Miss Keller,” he answered calmly with


    a kind expression. “After causing a scene today, it may be difficult for you to enter the Emerald Harbor


    in the future.”
