I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 438 Distance Yourself from The Morgans “Mute, not deaf—mute.”

Nathan prompted his subordinate Irritably.

“O-Of course.”

“Two of our veterans from Tempest have personally met with Yelena. They said that other than her appearance, everything else points to her being Yelena,” Nathan said, eyes narrowed.

“But... Didn’t they say that her appearance was different? Not to mention that Yelena has been dead for so many years... How could a dead woman be walking around?” His subordinate still

doubted it.

“Who said that she’s dead?”

Nathan gave him a glare.

“There are plenty of people that the Yorks said are dead but are still alive, correct?!”

“Of... Of course.” His subordinate didn’t dare to retort anymore.

Melanie had just left the hotel when she received her mother’s call. “Melanie, I’m back! I've asked Nancy to prepare your favorite dishes! Will you come home for dinner tonight?”

“Sure, I'll head back home right now,” Melanie responded immediately.

During dinner.

Melanie asked. “Mom, there’s nothing urgent back at the company. Why are you back so suddenly?”

“An old friend is organizing a charity gala, and | intend to give her my support,” Eliza said with a smile.

Melanie blinked. Her excuse was a bit forced.

She was so busy overseas... Why would she come back for a charity gala?

She knew though; her mother had come back because she lost the competition and was worried that she would be upset. That was why she came back to visit her.

Melanie pursed her lips as she felt her mother’s silent love for her.

She and Jeffrey had already been married in secret for about a year and had kept it a secret. Seeing that she was with child, it was time to reveal everything to her mother...

But... She didn’t know where to start...

“Mom, why did our family never work with Morgan Group?” She tried to make it casual.

Eliza’s expression immediately became wary. After a short pause, she answered, “Didn’t Morgan Group just sponsor your perfume some time ago?”

“That’s fragrance-—related. I’m more curious about the medical-related side of things.”

When Melanie saw that her mother cared about that question, she became even more curious. Jones Enterprise has been in the medical industry for so long and is one of the leading companies in Harbor City. The Morgan Group is the top company in Harbor City, and they have a hand in almost all industries... How is it possible that we’ve never cooperated?”

Eliza was hesitating. Melanie thought about it and asked, “Is it because we’re avoiding them intentionally?”

“Why are you asking this question so suddenly?” Eliza shot back.

“| just thought about it and...”

Eliza observed her expression. She thought that Melanie and William were still in contact, so she didn’t think too much about it and said, “You can put it that way too... When your dad was still around, he refused to work with Morgan Group.”

“Why?” Melanie couldn’t understand.

“Anyway, you need to keep your own good,” Eliza

distance with Morgan Group as well. It’s for your

said.

“Reasons that you can’t tell me about again?” Melanie gave her mother a deep stare.

Eliza nodded. “When the time comes, I'll tell you why.” It was the same excuse...

Earlier on in life, despite her interest in fragrances, her parents had refused to let her get involved in this industry without ever telling her a reason why, and they'd also refused to let her join the company. And they’d told her the same excuse...

As soon as she asked about it, her parents’ expressions would become mixed.

Melanie didn’t want to make it difficult for her mom, but she had lost all her appetite. After a quick bite, she went upstairs first. It was not the correct time to tell Eliza about her relationship with Jeffrey...Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Not only was she not maintaining any distance between herself and the Morgan Group, she even had the future leader of the Morgan Group in her womb... The moment she thought about that, she could feel herself getting a headache.

Looking at Melanie’s lonely figure climbing up the stairs, all Eliza could do was sigh. The Morgan Group was a huge family with influence on an international level. They were also partners that the Yorks were doing their best to court. Their relationship was very tight.

She needed to find a way to prevent the Yorks from knowing about Melanie as much as possible. Melanie’s grandma had also explained many years ago that, in order to secure Tyler and Melanie’s safety, Madam Morgan could be of help, but they should also keep their distance.

But she couldn’t tell Melanie about any of this for now.

Eliza thought that if she could hide this from her daughter as much as possible, then the time she could buy could make her stronger as time passed.

Everything would be brought to light eventually, and she hoped Melanie would be strong enough to face it when the time came.
