SWNOVELS Chapter 396
Chapter 396 A Great Son–in–Law
By the time Melanie reached Annie’s apartment from the hospital, she was fully engrossed in everything that
was happening in the ice–cold monitor, refusing to eat or drink.
“Hey, you’re pushing yourself too hard, aren’t you?”
Annie shook her head helplessly. “What can he do when he knows that you’ll be watching his every move?
Come on, drink this orange juice.”
Melanie took the glass of orange juice and sipped it mechanically.
She had seen Jane have dinner with Jeffrey in the ward. Night had descended. Jeffrey said he was getting
tired. He lied on the bed while Jane handed him a wet towel to wipe his face.
Jeffrey frowned but didn’t refuse.
“He didn’t refuse it!” Melanie gritted her teeth.
“Please. Didn’t you personally tell me that you allowed that woman to do anything she wanted to Jeffrey?” Annie gave her a
snicker. “Is wiping his face that bad?”
Melanie bit her lips. “She’s doing more than wiping his face.”
“What else was she wiping?”
Annie instantly became interested and hopped over to have a look. “Tsk. She’s just wiping his hands. Just
think of her as a nurse.”
“Is dinner ready?”

Melanie asked.
“You’re a national treasure now. I wouldn’t dare let you eat just whatever. I’ve asked the nanny to prepare five different dishes for
you to guarantee that you have all the nutrients you need. Come on, let’s eat,” Annie said.
Melanie decided to toss the monitor to the side when she smelled dinner. She got angrier the more she
watched.
Once she and Annie had finished dinner and she picked the monitor back up, she noticed that Jeffrey had
already fallen asleep.
But Jane hadn’t left?
After a while, Jane started to test him. “Mr. Morgan? Mr. Morgan?”
Seeing that Jeffrey didn’t respond after she said his name a few times. Jane unbuttoned his top and removed her own clothes.
She lied down next to Jeffrey and started taking pictures with her phone...
Melanie blinked as her lips formed an icy smile. The oldest trick in the book...

After the party at the Yorks‘ ended, Melanie and Jeffrey weren’t the only ones that rushed back to Harbor City.
Harlow and Luis did too.
In a private vineyard.
Luis led Nathan to meet Harlow.
Luis was smiling like a gentle god as he looked left and right, saying, “I’m glad to be given the opportunity to introduce both of
you to each other. This is the first time both of you are meeting, and I hope we can all be friends after this. Harlow, this is Nathan
Quinn. Nathan, this is Harlow York.”
Nathan had a friendly smile on his face as well.
However, Harlow still had the same icy demeanor he did during dinner. “I heard that you’ve been getting quite close to Leo, Luis!
And you, Nathan. You’re Leo’s peer in the past, weren’t you?”
“That’s right. Leo and I have been peers for three years. Before coming here, you must have already investigated the
relationship between Leo and I. If we’re friends, you wouldn’t have come to this dinner willingly, correct?” Nathan confronted him
calmly.
Harlow didn’t respond.
After pausing a little, Harlow turned to look at Luis with judging eyes. “What about you, Luis? Is the reason you side with me now
because the benefit that Leo gave you isn’t big enough?”
“Stop teasing me, Harlow. The Romeros have always been your ally. You’ve helped me remove quite a few obstacles... You
know this, right?”
Luis quickly guaranteed it. “The only reason I’ve accepted Leo’s invitation lately and worked together on two minor projects is for
our strategy, Harlow. If Leo trusts me, I’ll be able to provide you with his movements on demand, won’t I?”
“You say that, but can you prove it?” Harlow sneered as he opened his eyes.
“I can.”
Nathan waved his hand, and a subordinate behind him approached Harlow with a stack of documents. It was some information
that they got after Jane had approached Jeffrey.
“Luis and I have set this up. Luis wants Jeffrey as his son–in–law, so I found this woman and trained her. She has successfully
gotten in between Melanie and his relationship. Haven’t you noticed Melanie’s treating Jeffrey completely differently this time in
Medonia?”
Harlow held the evidence in his hand and thought about it. No wonder Melanie avoided Jeffrey during the party a few days ago.
Nathan found a woman that looked like her sister...
“However, if Luis manages to get him as his son–in–law as he wishes, but Melanie becomes Leo’s wife, what should I do? My
old man is very impressed with Melanie!” Harlow said with doubt as he put the document down.
“They won’t. It’s impossible for Leo and Melanie to get together!” Nathan said with certainty.

Harlow looked at Nathan and said, “So you know about the rumor as well? That Leo has already fallen for
someone else?”
Nathan narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Some time ago, Leo had fallen for someone when he was studying at the university. For some reason, they
broke up. After that, Leo refused to have anything to do with love. It could be seen that he still couldn’t forget
about her after so many years.
As for his courtship with Melanie... Harlow simply believed that he was obeying Joseph’s orders.
If he could get Joseph’s support by courting a woman, anyone would do it. If it was him, even if Joseph had
his eyes on a mute, a blind, a deaf, or a lame, he was willing to court her as long as Joseph gave him the green
light.
Harlow paused before asking, “But Jeffrey blocked an attack for Melanie!”
A woman could be very soft–hearted. If Jeffrey continued to move her, they could get back together with this
chance.
“This woman is together with Jeffrey in his ward right now, taking care of him through the night...” Nathan said with an egotistical
smile. “Melanie will also find out very soon. So... There’s no possibility of them getting
together.”
