Chapter 399 Her Reversal
Jane saw that he looked extremely cruel, and was even scarier than Luis and Nathan. With a mumble, she said, “I simply took a
picture while posing with him. Jeffrey’s injured... So, I can’t really...”
“And you cared about him?!” Harlow gave her a mocking stare.
“Is Jeffrey’s wound quite bad?”
Nathan asked, “Morgan Group had hidden the news of him getting injured, and despite all my men in the Yorks, they didn’t get
any pictures of his injury.”
“If you ask me... It’s quite severe...” Jane answered carefully.
“Did you get a picture of his injury?” Luis asked.
Jane nodded. “I did. I took it all.”
“Very good. You performed admirably well. You’ll be rewarded.” Nathan smiled.
“Not only will we be able to make Jeffrey leave Melanie, but we can also make the pictures of his injuries publicly available.
Jeffrey’s public image had always been a cripple in a wheelchair. Now that he’s injured again, the Morgan Group’s shares will be
affected. Harlow, we need to take advantage of this and the Morgan Group’s moment of weakness!” Luis cracked a smile,
smiling like a bandit.
“Are you sure that Melanie had completely given up on Jeffrey?” Nathan started to probe into the details.
Jane nodded. “She was mad. Jeffrey tried to get to her twice, but she avoided him both times. I also left some
lipstick marks on him, so even if he tried to explain it, Melanie would never believe him.”
“Alright. Leave.”
Nathan waved his hand and told Jane to leave.
The three of them chatted for a little while more.
Harlow was the first one to leave the restaurant. And then Luis left, leaving Nathan alone in the private room
to have a drink.
Behind him, his subordinate said, “Sir, this Harlow isn’t a good person. He didn’t have an ounce of respect
when he spoke to you earlier. But the moment he heard that you’re in control of ‘Tempest‘, he instantly
changed his tone. Such hypocrisy.”
“Hmph.”
Nathan snickered coldly. “How many of those that succeeded in the business world aren’t hypocrites themselves? It’s just that
Harlow is much more obvious than the others. He’s just a simple–minded pawn. One
day, we’ll have no use for this pawn. Let him have his fun for now!”
“Sir, after you’ve reestablished connection with that person, he’s still somewhat suspicious of Melanie’s identity. He’s still
investigating it in the shadows. Will this threaten your cooperation with him?” his
subordinate asked.

“I heard that Joseph York had already tested Melanie’s DNA twice, but they weren’t a match both times. It’s
normal for him to be suspicious,” Nathan said with his eyes narrowed.
“So, is Melanie really from the York family?” His subordinate was confused.
“If she isn’t a York, how can anyone explain her hereditary cardiovascular disease and her powerful sense of smell? Something
must be behind this. Inform Tempest to press on with the investigation and see if there’s someone secretly ruining the Yorks‘
analysis,” Nathan ordered.
“Understood!” His subordinate nodded.
After drinking the last drop of tea, Nathan put down his teacup and was about to leave after straightening his outfit. Suddenly, his
subordinate outside reported, “Sir, Melanie is here. She says that she wants to see you. Will you see her?”
“Melanie?!”
Nathan was shocked.
How did she find this place?
Nathan’s mind started to spin quickly as he frowned.
He thought that everything had been too smooth today and was somewhat suspicious. Looked like he was right all along.
Melanie had used his schemes against him...
All he could do right now was be flexible. With a wave of his hand, he told his subordinate to bring Melanie in.
“How did you manage to find me here?” Nathan said.
“I followed your people,” Melanie answered as she stood at the doorway.
“My people?”
“Jane.”
Melanie immediately said, “In order to avoid any awkwardness, you don’t need to deny that you know her.”
“I do know her. She looks like my sister,” Nathan said.
Melanie blinked and said without a change in her tone, “She looks like your sister, so you used her to get close to Jeffrey and
me?”
“Why are you saying that I’m using her?” Nathan asked.
“I can’t think of any reason why she wants to get close to me and Jeffrey.”
“Maybe because she heard she looks like Jeffrey’s first sweetheart, and she started to have her own plans about it?” Nathan was
still trying to muddle the waters.
