Chapter 197 To Provoke Her
Melinda’s eyes glistened with tears, and she smiled and nodded. “I do.”
In everyone’s presence, Stanley ced the ring representing true love on her finger and affectionately
kissed the back of her hand under the admiring gazes of onlookers. The audience erupted into
enthusiastic apuse.
He stood up, lightly cupped the back of her head with his hand, and could not help but kiss her lips.
“Wow!”
The scene was drenched with screams! Somedies’ hearts burst with excitement, and the sound of
camera shutters filled the air. Frames froze, capturing the beauty of the moment.
“You’re not allowed to take the ring off anymore after putting it on, he whispered in her ear. “This isn’t a
promotional shoot. It’s my proposal.” It resembled a secret conversation.
Melinda met his gaze, her smile incredibly sweet, but her expression seemed mismatched with her
eyes.
After finishing the promotional shoot, Stanley and Melinda bid farewell to Mr. Edward’s family and
boarded a private ne to return to Riverdale.
“We’ll n our wedding after I finish these two projects. Stanley could not help but reveal, “I’ve asked
Max to handle the preparations.”
Sitting by the window, Melinda leaned lightly against his shoulder. “Okay,” she murmured while flipping
through the photo album in her hands, reluctant to put it down.
“You’ve looked at it three times already. He could not help but remind her.
She happened to reach thest page and gently closed the album, turning her gaze to him. “Will you
treasure this album?”
“Of course. I’ll put it on the bookshelf once we’re back.” He said, “Not everything can be on my
bookshelf. Ordinary books won’t even cut it.”
She smiled, her eyes dark and transparent.
After the private ne arrived in Riverdale, Stanley apanied Melinda to Emerald Harbor. However,
nothing here belonged to her anymore. She was finally back to reality, knowing that loving someone
meant wanting what was best for them.
Monica was indeed a better fit for him as she was thepany’s vice president. One could not lose
their right-hand man, or there would be an imbnce. As a man, career shoulde first.
Monica entered the Fox Family at 11 and had been with Stanley for 22 years. They spent every
birthday and holiday together. Thinking about this, Melinda found that difficult to ept. She felt both
envious – and jealous.
The children went to school today, and the driver took Melinda to thepany not long after they left.
She stood by the bedroom window on the second floor, her face somewhat pale in the bright light. After
careful consideration, she picked up her phone and dialed Jennifer’s number.
“Where are you?” There came the cold voice from the other end. “I heard you’re back.”

“I’m at Emerald Harbor.” Melinda softly asked. “Am I leaving on my own, or will Hobson send me?”
“Hobson is sending you,” she replied without hesitation, enduringly. “Go to the airport now. He’ll be
waiting for you there. Do you have any city in mind you wish to go to?”
“Navelic.” She blurted out.
“Okay.” Jennifer casually added, “Don’te back!”

Melinda ended the call, fully realizing the reality. Jennifer would still want her to disappear immediately,
even if she had cured her. Staying behind would only lead to hostility between her and her son, not
something Melinda wanted.
Soon, Monica received a phone call when Melinda departed from Emerald Harbor in a ride-hailing car.
“Are you sure?” She heard the person on the other end report in the vice president’s office. A glimmer
of joy ignited in her heart.
“Yes”
“Good! I got it.” She hung up the phone and quickly tidied up her desk. “Lydia, I need to go out for a
bit!”
When Lydia looked up, Monica had already left the office.
Melinda peered at the scenery outside the car window, trying hard to remember this city. She held her
bag tightly, which contained a teacup, a keychain, half of a jade pendant, and a small photo album the
size. of her palm.
These were her most precious belongings.
At that moment, she no longer pondered about matters of the heart. However, she could not help but
feel reluctant to part with her children. Still, she believed Stanley could take good care of them and
would not let them suffer.
In the meantime, Monica’s red Bentley departed from thepany and sped toward the airport. Who
knows if Melinda is deceiving us? Is she genuinely willing to leave? There are some things I need to
say to her to make myself clear so she canpletely let go of him!
Yes. Monica was going to provoke her.
The cab arrived at the airport. While Melinda opened the car door, the red Bentley had also stopped not
far away.
