Melinda President Fox’s Love

Chapter 17

After the children left, Monica stood there as if she had lost her soul, with no more smile on her face.

Surprisingly, Stanley felt no disgust, just like how he could eat that egg–tomato pasta Despite not eating anything for years, he could eat what she made. It gave him the feeling of being reborn.

“I don’t believe you got married. How could you hide a marriage for seven years?” Monica wanted an answer to comfort herself.

“If there’s nothing else, you can leave now,” he said, ignoring her sadness and distress. “I’ll have the design department come up with a proposal for the custom jewelry project from the Kingdom of Brundela’s royal family. You don’t have to worry about it.”

*Please answer my question.” She struggled to control her emotions. “You can’t possibly hide your marriage, can you? You just don’t want to get married so early and live according to Mrs. Fox’s wishes, so you staged this whole thing, right?”

After closing his laptop, he stood up and left with cold and firm footsteps. Without looking back, he walked away with his hands in his pockets, not bothering to deal with her.

Left behind was Monica, gritting her teeth while watching his back, feeling a surge of resentment in her chest. Is it impossible for me to have his heart, no matter how hard I try? No way! I can’t fail; I can’t give up like this.

In Repulse Bay, there was a retro villa with a serene environment that was suitable for recuperation. Inside stood Jennifer Fox in the center of the living room, dressed in a long–sleeved white coat with a half–faced delicate mask. After looking at the information her subordinates had found on Melinda, she turned so angry that her chest convulsed.

“A community leader of a poor village!” The furious Jennifer slammed the documents onto the coffee table. “Is Stanley out of his mind?!”

The newspaper on the coffee table showed pictures and a report of her son’s announcement from last night.

“I will never allow a woman with no status to enter the Fox Family!” She was so shaken with such ferocity that she felt unsteady on her feet. Seeing that, her maid, Stephanie, quickly supported her. “Please don’t get angry, Mrs. Fox. You will only harm your body.”

“And those two children out of nowhere, how could they possibly be Stanley’s? That’s ridiculous!” As she glared fiercely at the messy documents on the table, she bellowed, “Call tnovelxo.com fast updatehat woman! Now!”

“Yes, Mrs. Fox.”

Meanwhile, Melinda was sunbathing in the yard of Emerald Harbor, sitting on a swing and feeling depressed about the future. How dare he send me a threatening message demanding that I make chicken soup and even ask the children to deliver it to his office at the time he wants? What act is he putting on again? I don’t even dare to watch TV or check my phone today. Why doesn’t he control the news when it is making such a big fuss? I really don’t know what he is thinking.

Just then, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. She looked at the screen and saw an unfamiliar number. The moment she answered the call, the caller asked in a forceful tone, “Are you Melinda?”

“Who are you?”

“I am Stanley’s mother.” The middle–aged woman’s voice was cold and domineering. “I saw the news. I want to meet you. Come to Repulse Bay.”

“What do you want with me?” Melinda asked calmly. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“What do I want?” Jennifer hated her attitude and barked, “Of course, it’s to find out about the relationship between you and my son! How could you have his child? And you kept the marriage a secret for seven years?

Whom do you think you’re fooling with such tactics? You only got your marriage certificate two days ago! Stop talking nonsense and come over here now!”

After saying that, Jennifer hung up the phone, leaving no room for Melinda to refuse. However, Melinda was not the type to be pushed around.

“Madam, your tea.” When Melinda turned around, she found Gael standing behind her, not knowing when he had arrived.

As Gael handed her the tea, he said, “Madam, maybe you should talk to Mr. Fox about Mrs. Fox asking for you.” He was worried that she wouldn’t be able to handle Jennifer as Jennifer had a peculiar temper.

“Okay.” In fact, she wasn’t conflicted at all because she had no intention of going, but after Gael left, she still called Stanley’s number.

At this moment, Stanley was in a meeting room when he saw his phone, which was on silent mode, light up with her name. He picked up the phone and slid his long finger over the answer button. This was the first time he had ever answered a call during a meeting.

After hearing that his other was looking for Melinda, he parted his thin lips. “Don’t go alone. I’ll take you back for dinner tonight. Prepare yourself a little and ask Gael about my mother first. I’m in a meeting now, so wait until I get back if there’s anything else.”

When the company’s executives heard his words, they all guessed who the caller was and were filled with gossip.

At the same time, Monica’s car stopped at the entrance of Emerald Harbor for a moment before being allowed to pass.

Meanwhile, Melinda was sitting on a swing, sipping ginger tea. She felt sore all over and embarrassed as the details from last night flooded her mind.

Not far away, a red Bentley pulled up, and as soon as Monica got out of the car, she spotted Melinda. With a cold gaze, she strode toward Melinda with determined steps.
