Chapter 55 The Wheel of Fate Is Turning

Melinda was speechless. “You’re the daughter of a mayor. Can you please speak with some decorum?”

“No. Not when it’s you,” said Jessica. “I talk with decorum with everyone else. They’re not my friends, after

all.”

Twenty minutes later, Jessica arrived at the coffee shop near Emerald Harbor. She was sitting by the window, looking pretty as a princess. And she was looking into the mirror, reapplying her makeup as she

waited for her friend.

Gael told Zack to give Melinda a ride. There was about a 20-yard distance between the place she was dropped off and the coffee shop’s entrance. Right after Melinda got out of the car, she saw a familiar figure coming to her, and she could feel something crushing her heart.

Shawn was getting closer and closer. Melinda could see the strands of white hair on his head, which went. unnoticed by her during Jessica’s birthday party. She stopped in her tracks and gave way to him. The man went by, but when he took his phone out, his key fell out of his pocket, dropping right beside Melinda. Not a sound was made, so Shawn didn’t realize he had dropped something.

Melinda bent over and picked the key up, but before she could give it to him, he had already gotten into his car. Just when she was about to go to him, someonnovelxo.com fast updatee patted her shoulder. She stopped and turned around, only to be met with Shirlene in a beautiful dress. Her shoulders were revealed. Melinda thought she looked gorgeous. Did she have another cosmetic surgery? She looks even better now. Her nose looks more aquiline.

Shirlene extended her arm. “Give it to me. That’s my father’s,” she said coldly.

Melinda met her gaze, and a hint of pain flashed across her eyes. She handed the key over. Her hands are beautiful. It’s obvious she’s never done a day of chores.

Noticing that hint of pain, Shirlene looked at Melinda for a few more moments before leaving soon after. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Melinda then snapped back to her senses.

After she got into the car, Shirlene handed the key over to Shawn and looked at Melinda, deep in thought. So, that’s Stanley’s wife. Everyone says she’s a village girl. I’ve only seen her once, but she feels familiar. It feels like it’s a memory buried deep in my mind.

“What’s on your mind?” Shawn looked at her gently.

Shirlene snapped out of it and answered, “Just thinking that you should not push yourself. The company’s a juggernaut, but you keep doing everything yourself, and I can’t even help.”

“Nonsense. You’re already endorsing our company’s products. That’s the biggest help you can give.” Shawn adored Shirlene. “And with Cavalier looking worse every day, you’re the only successor I have left.”

Shirlene was delighted to hear that, but she didn’t show it. “Acting is the only thing I like.”

“You’re smart enough to do both. Shawn held her hand. “You’ve been dealing with our clients easily. Besides, the entertainment industry is… volatile. You can’t be sure you can be famous forever. You need to plan.”

“Yes, Dad. Of course.”

Dusk had fallen, and Melinda was in the villa’s yard, sitting on a rattan chair. Beside her were patches of

blooming roses. She looked at the piece of the jade pendant in her hand. It had been half an hour since she stared at the pendant, and there was sorrow in her eyes. So, the wheel of fate has begun to turn.

Meanwhile, Shirlene was standing before the floor-to-ceiling window of her family’s villa, wearing a frilly dress. She kept thinking about Melinda. Shirlene couldn’t help but feel that something was off, and she had a foreboding feeling about what was going to happen.
