I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 9 Refuse to Marry Him Again, Melanie stood in front of Jeffrey and rejected him. “I'm sorry, | don’t think | can accept your request.”

Jeffrey did not raise his eyes as he did not care about her answer at all. He continued. “There was a man in here. Did you get yourself into some trouble?”

“You don’t have to worry about me. | can handle it myself.” Melanie rejected him firmly.

Jeffrey narrowed his eyes after hearing this. With her intelligence, she must have figured out that he was the man she slept with that night. Did she not want to marry him this badly?

He then spoke in a strange tone, “But | can get another one in here anytime | want.” Melanie lowered her eyes. “Are you threatening me?” “| don’t want to.”

Jeffrey continued calmly. “As long as you accept my request, the Morgan Group can provide you with unlimited support. Don’t you want to restore your family’s reputation? | can fix your leg, too.”

His condescending tone disgusted Melanie. However, his words hit her in the right spot.

Melanie looked at her left leg. If she did not fix her leg soon, how was she going to make a comeback? What was she going to use to fight the shameless couple?

Her uncle had taken over the board of directors of Jones Enterprise. Therefore, even if she wanted to straighten things up, she would need to think of a long-term plan. However, would reality give her enough time to do so?

Melanie took a deep breath and asked, “How are you planning to fix my leg? How long do you need?”

“Go to this place. The doctor will prescribe you a special medicine. You'll be able to walk again in three days.” Jeffrey left a name card on the table.

In three days? Melanie narrowed her eyes a little.

She had had this leg injury for two years. Even her most trusted doctor could not guarantee her recovery. Did he just say her leg would recover in three days?

What a joke!

However, the man’s firm look sparked hope in her. “If there’s such a doctor, why don’t you fix your leg first?”

“It’s up to you to believe me or not!”

No one had talked to him like this before! He had never thought that someone with such audacity would appear here! Jeffrey's eyes were filled with hostility as he signaled the man behind him to push him out of the room.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“All the women in the Morgans are not allowed to be a cripple! In three days, if your leg recovers, someone will pick you up to obtain our wedding license.” Jeffrey's voice was deep, and even his back looked terrifying.

Jeffrey got out of Melanie’s room. His phone rang, so he picked it up and an impatient voice came from the other side. “Mr. Jeffrey, are you planning to marry Melanie?”

Jeffrey narrowed his eyes and replied in a deep voice, “I'm impressed by your intel.”

The man on the other side of the phone said hurriedly, “Don’t forget the vengeance that you’ve planned before you return home!” “No rush.”

Jeffrey's Adam’s apple twitched a little as he spoke in a deep tone. “This time, | have a more interesting way to play the game.”

After Jeffrey left Melanie’s room, she sat on her bed, clenching the name card in her hand. Melanie recalled the unwavering confidence in the man’s eyes when he spoke those words to her. Should she believe him?

+15 BONUS Not long after, Annie’s voice came from her earpiece. “Just now Bryan went upstairs with Lena and went into ner room.

Annie ordered her men to start working, and the moaning sound of the couple came from her earpiece. It was similar to what Melanie had heard when she was in the trunk.

Melanie frowned and said, “That’s enough.” Hearing this, Annie quickly cut off the sound that the bug in Bryan’s breast pocket was recording.

“My men had placed the doctored fragrance in Lena’s room. With the special ingredients, I’m confident our plan will work out perfectly! By the way, although you can’t work as a police dog with your nose, it’s obvious that your nose is built for the perfume industry.” Annie was amazed by Melanie's sense of smell.

Back then, after Melanie’s father, Tyler Jones had established their medical business, he led his technical team and began research in the perfume industry to diversify their family business. Melanie was very sensitive to smell, and she always wanted to help out in the development department, but Tyler did not allow her to do so. Hence, no one in their company knew that she had this hidden talent.

Maybe Melanie’s father wanted her to live her life as a carefree young lady. However, she went to work for Bryan and gave him everything she had. In the end, she almost lost everything.

Melanie felt like crying but she quickly reminded herself to stay calm and said, “They’ll pass out tonight. Instruct your men to leave them alone. Let's wait for the news tomorrow.”

The next morning. Before Melanie woke up, she heard a series of knocking sounds. “Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The people outside her room were knocking impatiently. Were they afraid that something would go wrong if they were late to expose her? With that, Melanie got out of bed and tidied her hair. She wanted to see who was on the front line.

“Screech.” She opened the door.

Lena’s parents, Daniel and Lily, stood at the front. Bryan’s parents followed behind them, and even some of the directors from Jones Enterprise were with them. What a warm gathering!

It seemed like Lena’s intention was not only to make Bryan’s parents witness her loss of virginity before marriage and to cancel their engagement. In addition, she wanted to suppress Melanie’s position within the board of directors of Jones Enterprise.
