    Chapter 170 Would He Bring the Children Along?


    Meanwhile, Jennifer watched Melinda leave the house from her bedroom window. She wasn’t going to


    stop her because she was certain she would


    As soon as Melinda left Repulse Bay, the air became significantly sweeter, which uplifted her mood.


    Then, she gged down a cab and set out for Sunnyvale, eventually making her way to the heart of


    town. She wanted to get

    on her life.


    As soon as she stepped out of the car, her eyes met Jessica’s as she emerged from a nearby shopping


    center


    “Melinda?” Jessica eximed with a shriek. Then, as if she had just found a priceless treasure, she


    hopped excitedly to Melinda.


    Melinda stumbled back in fright while Jessica frantically screeched to a stop before her and asked,


    “What brings you here? It has been ages!” As soon as Jessica caught a glimpse of Melinda’s right


    cheek, her grin dissipated as shock and concern filled her eyes. “What happened to your face?”


    “Huh?” Melinda was startled. Is the bruise so obvious that she notices it right away?


    “Did Stanley hit you?” Jessica’s eyes glowed with rage, and she demanded. “That man actually tried to


    hurt you? Why do you look so exhausted? What on earth happened?”


    “No, no, no!” Melinda hurriedly grabbed Jessica’s arm. “Quiet down!” She didn’t want to draw unwanted


    attention because they were in a crowded area.


    At that moment, a video about Alice, the daughter of Edward, the sessful businessman, and her


    birthday party began ying on the massive LED screen that hung outside the mall. The broadcaster’s


    enticing voice drew the attention of passersby, who all stopped and turned to watch the screen, and


    Jessica and Melinda were no exception. Anovelxo fast updates seen from the drone, the castle


    estate resembled a scene from a fairytale, creating a grand and spectacr event that left the viewer in


    awe.


    Then, the female broadcaster reported, “One of the party’s highlights was Stanley Fox, President of


    Fox Group, who attended with his vice president, Monica Keller. He also brought two cute children with


    him. They surely are a perfect couple in both looks and talents. Mr. Fox once called Miss Keller


    extremely talented and an indispensable partner. Every photo the reporters took filled our hearts with


    warmth. What a pity she is not the children’s mother. They looked like the perfect family in the photos of


    the group. Those photos are now trending online.”


    After that, a slideshow of photos was shown on the screen.


    On the other hand, Melinda was overwhelmed with emotion after seeing the photos. They are clearly a


    happy family of four, as evidenced by the images, in which both adults and children can be seen


    smiling broadly.


    “What is the meaning of this?” Jessica’s temper red as more and more of the photos appeared on


    the screen. “Is he cheating on you?” After uttering this, she immediately pulled out her phone. I’m going


    to make him exin this! Stupid scumbag!”


    “Jessica!” Melinda calmly grabbed her wrist. “You’re mistaken. This is just a misunderstanding the


    media outlets made up. You know how they like to stir controversy.”


    “They even have photos! How are they lying?” Jessica refused to calm down and refuted, “If they were


    even


    photographed in this state, what happens when no cameras are present? What if they’re sharing beds


    at night?”


    After hearing that, Melinda reasoned, “Would he bring the children if he were to cheat on me? They still


    had school, so he specifically applied for leave. Since he was the one who handed in the application,


    he had to take care of the children. If he likes Monica, why wouldn’t he marry her? He’s already 38!”


    Jessica was at a loss for words. What she says makes perfect sense.


    Then, Melinda added. “If they truly liked each other, they would have already gotten together, and I


    never would have had a chance.”


    Again, Jessica struggled to find the right words. I can’t argue that what she says is wrong, though. “So,


    what happened to your face?” She stared at the bruises as pain pierced her heart. “There’s also your


    mouth. Not even your concealer could hide the bruise from me.”


    “Is it that obvious?” Melinda inquired anxiously, knowing that Stanley would return home the following


    day.


    “Tell me!” Jessica barked out in panic. “How did this happen? Is he involved? Who bullied you? Tell me,


    tell me! I’ll kill them!”
