Chapter 315 Know Very Well

“President Morgan?”

Leo turned around, and saw the extraordinary figure of Jeffrey standing directly next to Melanie. He

couldn’t help but cough a few times involuntarily.

“So, Jones Enterprise has already decided to cooperate with Morgan Group?” Leo asked Melanie

again.

Melanie nodded, smiling. “Although the cooperation hasn’t been finalized, Morgan Group’s proposal is

indeed impressive.”

“President Morgan, you’re indeed ahead of the curve. No wonder Morgan Group stands out in the vast

business world,” Leo said.

Leo’s words carried mockery, but Jeffrey didn’t mind. He picked up his wine glass and said with a smile,

“Mr. York, you’re too kind. I just understand better than the average person when and with whom to

seize

opportunities.”

“Cough…cough…”

Jeffrey spoke provokingly, but Leo didn’t back down. He smiled with a touch of malice.

“President Morgan, who do you want to seize? Oh! By the way, I heard that President Romero came

from the

Medonia to Harbor City a few days ago just to let his precious daughter meet you. I met President

Romero

yesterday. He said that you and Miss Romero are getting along quite well, isn’t it?”

Jeffrey instinctively turned his head to look at Melanie. He hadn’t finished dealing with Melanie’s

jealousy of

Isla last night, and now, Leo deliberately chose to talk about this. It was truly adding insult to injury!

“Mr. York, you’ve only taken over your family business. I thought you’d be very busy, but unexpectedly,

you

also indulge in baseless rumors,” Melanie interjected.

Leo coughed lightly twice, and said, “A little relaxation amidst all the busy times.”

At this moment, Melanie’s phone in her handbag vibrated. Seizing the opportunity, she said, “Excuse

me, I

need to take a call.”

She went to the balcony.

“Annie, what is it?”

“Is it convenient for you to talk now?” Annie asked on the other end.

Melanie glanced around. There was only her on the balcony. “Yes. Did you find any new leads?”

“Following our last deduction, I had private investigators check several major companies in Harbor City

one by

one. In the end…”

Melanie had a bad premonition. “In the end, what?”

Annie hesitated for a moment before saying, “Morgan Group is the prime suspect, but this doesn’t

Afraid that Melanie might misunderstand, Annie hurriedly defended Jeffrey.

Melanie paused, then said, “I understand. I won’t jump to conclusions. You can rest assured.”

With a pensive expression, she hung up the phone and was about to go back. She was startled to see

a pair of men’s feet next to her.

“What are you thinking? You seem to be in a daze.” Jeffrey said. He had been standing next to her for a

few minutes, and she hadn’t noticed at all.

Melanie lowered her gaze, and remained silent.

Jeffrey thought she was concerned again, so he said sincerely, “Just now, Leo deliberately mentioned

Isla. You should understand that he’s trying to provoke you and sow discord between us.”

“Aren’t you both provoking each other?” Melanie retorted.

Jeffrey was stunned for two seconds. “That’s different.”

“How is it different?”

“My relationship with you and your relationship with him are not the same.” He suddenly took a step

forward,

bending down to gaze into her clear eyes.

Melanie couldn’t stop her heart from pounding. To stop the atmosphere from heating up, she voiced out

her

doubts. “There’s something I want to ask you.”

She spoke very formally, and Jeffrey also responded seriously. “Go ahead.”

“Are you investigating my father?” She didn’t add a single extra word.

“No, I’m not.”

Jeffrey’s gaze was equally firm. In a direct confrontation, he dared to face her scrutiny without any

panic. This

wasn’t the reaction of someone guilty.

Melanie breathed a sigh of relief. For now, she believed him.

“Why do you ask?” Jeffrey asked.

“Nothing. Just that someone has been investigating my father recently, and I don’t want my mom to

know about it.” Melanie sighed softly. “She finally accepted that it was an accident. Going back to the

past would be

too cruel for her.”

Jeffrey’s narrowed eyes flashed. Someone was investigating her father again recently?

“It’s cold outside. Let’s go back.” He changed the topic and suggested.

Melanie nodded. The two of them walked back to the banquet hall, together but encountered someone

at the

edge of the balcony.

Said someone looked surprised to see them. However, he only greeted Melanie.

“Miss Melanie, now that you’re back in Harbor City, you should be safe.”

“Yes. Thank you for saving me and my master abroad, Mr. Quinn.” Melanie looked at Nathan, and

added,” Have you been abroad all this time? It’s been a long time since we last met.”

Nathan’s eyes narrowed, and he said tensely, “I returned to the country early, but I’ve been in

Willowfort. As for what I’ve been busy with, a certain someone should know very well!”
