I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 357 1 Admit That | Like Her After Jeffrey hung up the phone decisively, he instructed William to drive straight to the Perfume Blending Competition.

While on the road. Jeffrey's phone rang again. He quickly glanced at it, and saw that it was Nathan’s number. Why was Nathan calling at this time?

Impatiently, he answered the call.

On the other end, Nathan’s voice sounded dark. “Your people are investigating me. When are you going to stop?”

“Don’t you know why I’m investigating you?” Jeffrey countered. “Or are you feeling guilty?”

“Investigate if you want, but don’t disturb my life!” Nathan’s voice turned colder. “But | really didn’t expect that you would come to this. Throwing away your pride to chase after a woman, and even going abroad?”

“It seems you're well aware of what happened.” Jeffrey’s eyes narrowed. “President Morgan, with your reputation in the upper circles, how could | not know?” Nathan sneered. “I guess

Melanie already knows that you approached her because of Emma’s heart. Your plan has been exposed, but you're still relentlessly pursuing her. If you still deny that you like her, | wouldn't believe you.”

“Who said I’m denying it?” Jeffrey calmly refuted. “Now that I’ve realized my feelings, what's wrong with admitting it?”

“What did you say? You admit...liking the daughter of the enemy who killed Emma?” Nathan was dumbfounded. “You heard me right. | said | have feelings for her. Even if Melanie’s father killed Emma, Melanie’s innocent. She didn’t know about it.” Jeffrey calmly expressed his thoughts.

Nathan was on the verge of madness. “That’s why you have no qualms falling in love with the daughter of your enemy?”

“What happened back then is still not clear.” Jeffrey's tone was heavy.

“Jeffrey, have you lost your mind?” Nathan roared.

“If anyone has lost their mind, it’s you!” Jeffrey didn’t back down. After saying that, he hung up the phone. When Emma tragically died, he was severely injured and sought treatment abroad.

Overwhelmed with grief and physical exhaustion, he learned everything from Nathan himself...which made him hate the Jones family to the core.

However, in the past year since he returned to the country and heard about Tyler’s deeds, he felt that Tyler didn’t seem like that kind of person.

There was a shadow of Tyler in Melanie as well. He had a firm sense of justice and medical ethics. He probably wouldn’t take a life, even for the sake of his own flesh and blood...

The phone continued to ring in Nathan’s ears. He angrily threw the phone at the door.

Startled, his subordinates, who were just about to enter, dared not approach. After a pause, Nathan shouted angrily at the door. “What are you hiding there for?”

“Mr. Quinn, our people have just found out that Melanie Jones is likely related to the Yorks.” Only then did the subordinate step forward, handing the information they found to Nathan. Nathan looked at it. and his eyes sparkled with determination.

No wonder Joseph paid special attention to Melanie during the Angle family’s centennial celebration! Later when Melanie became a suspect in Charles’ murder, the Yorks also stepped forward to help her.

So, Melanie had a hidden background.

“The Yorks checked Melanie’s DNA, but the results don’t seem to be as expected. Also, they’re still unaware of Melanie’s heart surgery. Speaking of which, the Joneses are quite smart. They hid Melanie’s congenital physical defect for so many years. The heart surgery was done so discreetly that even the Yorks didn’t find out.

“Someone must have secretly helped the Joneses.”

Nathan squinted his eyes, and added slyly, “Although the Yorks don’t know about these things, | do. Melanie’s olfactory talent and heart defect are inherited from her father. | heard Joseph was in love with a woman back then. They had a son in their old age, but that son went missing for many years. If you calculate the time, he

just happens to be around the same age as Melanie’s father, Tyler.”

“Since the Yorks don’t know these things, I'll do them a favor and tell them. However, I'll only tell one of them, Bring me my old phone at once. I'll find the right time to call him.”

Him? The subordinate reacted after a second, asking in surprise, “Mr. Quinn, didn’t you break ties with him already?”

“| have no more feelings toward him, but | have my interests,” Nathan sneered coldly. “Now | can help him get what he wants, and he can help me deal with the Morgans and the Joneses. He’s so clever, so how could he

refuse?”

Melanie entered the fragrance blending room, spent half a day selecting ingredients and testing fragrances, and then spent another half a day officially blending the fragrance. It wasn’t until a whole day later that she walked out of the fragrance blending room.

Although she felt relieved, her body clearly couldn't bear it. She felt dizzy and hungry.

As she walked out, she pulled down the zipper of her work uniform, leaning against the wall to catch her breath. Suddenly, she was startled by a man’s voice in front of her.

“Why aren’t you careful with your own health? Normal people can’t endure a whole day without eating, let alone you!”

Melanie took a moment to catch her breath, and straightened up. “President Morgan, passing by again?”

In a timely manner, Jeffrey handed over a supporting hand, but she evaded it.

“If you're just passing by, please, President Morgan, stick to the role of a passerby. The fragrance blending room is private, and not just anyone can enter,” she said unceremoniously.

“| sponsored this competition,” Jeffrey stated concisely. “Being wealthy is truly remarkable,” Melanie sneered, and walked ahead. “Take it slow.”

Jeffrey followed behind her, not caring about her sarcasm, afraid that she might faint from low blood sugar. ‘ll take you to eat something. Your health is important.”
