Chapter 15
Rachel, who was driving also noticed two people on the roadside.
“What’s going on? Why is there someone stopping us at the gate?”
Rachel murmured, slowing down the car.
When she drove closer, she saw a cute boy raising his little arm..
She rolled down the window subconsciously and looked at him.
“Where are you from, kid? Why did you stop us?”
“I’m looking for my dad.”
“Your dad?”
Rachel looked Elias up and down, having a strong affection for him.
“We don’t have your daddy in the car.”
She stared at Elias and felt that he looked familiar.
She thought that he must have come to the Lambert Manor with his elders. He must be lost so he was here looking for his dad.
Therefore, Rachel turned to Luke and said, “Take care of this little gentleman. Although only the Lambert family’s cars pass by, it is dangerous for him to do such a thing.”
Hearing this, Luke stared at Rachel in silence and pulled Elias behind him to protect him.
Rachel didn’t say much. She smiled, started the engine, and drove into the Lambert Manor.
Finally, Jennifer in the backseat of the car was calmed down by Emma.
“Where did that kid you were talking to come from, Rachel?”
“I don’t know. He just said that he was looking for his dad!
“He looks so cute. I think I must have seen him before.”
Jennifer sighed and said, “I’ll die happy if Roddy has such a child.”
Having realized that Jennifer was about to cry again, Emma comforted her immediately.
“Aren’t you curious about that girl? Let’s ask Bill. He must know something about it.”
“You’re right. He and Richard follow Roddy every day and they must know everything about it.”
Jennifer walked to the living room quickly.
Emma and Rachel looked at each other, feeling relieved that they finally got rid of Jennifer.
At the same time, Angie hacked the traffic surveillance and found out where Elias was.
“Got it. Melanie. They’re on the Cloud Avenue.”
“What’s that place? Why is Elias there?” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“Well, let me check it out.
“Fm… It doesn’t look like an ordinary road. The Lambert Manor is the only building on the Cloud Avenue and the Lambert family is said to be the most respected family in Beloris.”
“What was Elias doing there?”
Melanie drove the car quickly towards the Cloud Avenue.
“You have to ask Elias,”
However, they didn’t get anything from Elias until they took him back to the Harbour Villa.
“What happened, Luke?”
Melanie looked at Luke angrily.
“Mr. Thomas said that I should listen to Elias. I can’t tell you unless Elias allows me to,” Luke stood straight and said seriously with his checks puffed out.
Melanie was so pissed that she wanted to kick him.
She held it back after thinking for a while.
She didn’t have to be mad at a child.
Therefore, she rubbed her forehead helplessly and looked at the three kids.
“Pack their things up and send them back to the island tomorrow, Gary.”
Hearing this, the three kids all got upset.
Elias, who had been lowering his head in silence, rushed into his bedroom and cried out loud.
Angie felt bad for him.
“Do you have to send them away so quickly, Melanie? You have Roy, Sam, and Luke protect them. They’ll be fine.”
“What makes you so sure about that? I don’t need them here if it’s safe for the kids here.”
Melanie looked at Edward and Ethan.
“Go comfort your brother, kids. I’ll send you back to the island tomorrow. That’s where you should
stay.”
The two kids nodded reluctantly.
Although Ethan was a naughty boy, he tried to act like an adult when he was with Melanie, and so
did Edward..
Melanie went to the Rising Star early the next morning to deal with an urgent task.
However, as soon as she entered the company, she was stopped by Steve.
“Listen to me, Mela.”
“What are you trying to say?”
Melanie sneered and said, “What else do you want to say to me? Are you gonna say that Vanessa has nothing to do with this?”
Steve froze.
“That’s not what I want to talk about, Mela. I’m here to tell you a piece of good news.”
“Good news? Good news from you?”
Melanie looked at Steve with a faint smile, feeling extremely disappointed in him.
When she was a child, she always thought that she had an ambitious and handsome father.
She used to think that he and her mother made a perfect couple.
However, she began to realize that she was wrong.
Although he had always considered himself an art dealer, he had never acted like an artist in all his years of working with it.
The drooping eyelids and puffed belly showed that he had been living a dissipated life for decades.
She was sick of that.
“Why would I lie to you, Mela? You’re my daughter.”
Steve smiled obsequiously.
“Shall we go inside to talk about it? I was gonna tell you last dinner.”
Melanie didn’t want to talk to him, so she led him to the meeting room.
“Why don’t we go to your office, Mela?”
“It’s quiet here and no one can hear us. It’s a perfect place for talks.”
Melanie sat down casually and looked at Steve, ready for the “good news
After meeting with him a few times, she got to know him better.
He always came to her with a purpose.
And she guessed that Steve was here for the spring auction because he wanted her to help him deal
D
with those celadons that no one bought.
She even decided to say yes if he asked.
Even though Steve’s celadons were not good enough, she had a way to sell them at a high price.
After all, he was her father.
He raised her. Although Melanie had a lot of doubts about him, she couldn’t bring herself to ignore him.
“Do you remember the man you saw that night who was named Owen Smith?”
“Owen Smith? What about him? I know that he’s a big shot in the media industry.”
She was surprised to hear Steve talk about the Smith family. She has been planning to reach them!
“Show some respect for Mr. Smith, Mela.”
Seeing his smiling face, Melanie somehow had a bad feeling!
“Just tell me what you’re here for. I have to attend a meeting in a few minutes,” she said indifferently.
Steve smiled with embarrassment.
“Fine, I’ll go to the point directly. I want to tell you this at dinner, but I know that you don’t want to come home.”
Seeing her indifferent look, Steve gave up small talk with her.
“Well,
for you.”
u’ve heard about the relationship between Vanessa and William. I think it’s a good thing
Hearing this, Melanie had guessed what her “loving father” was going to say next.
She stared at his chattering mouth and prayed in her heart, ‘Don’t say it, please.
‘As long as you don’t say it, I can still treat you as my father before my suspicion is confirmed.
