"Jack, are you trying to say that the test results have not come out yet? It's okay. I have already asked them to extract the DNA from the bones. Those instruments are also on the aircraft. Presumably, we can get the results when we land. Actually, it's fine if we don't verify it. She's Vivienne. I've already confirmed it this morning." Edwin patted his assistant on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.
This morning?
Jack was slightly startled.
His gaze turned to the priest, who was chanting prayer.
Oh my god! Had his master gone crazy?
How can he tell the identity just by looking at a skeleton?
...
Luther did not know that his father-in-law was coming to destroy his marriage.
At that moment, he was secretly observing the woman in the next room.
It was Melina, his wife.
In these few days, because he was busy, every time he went home, Melina had already fallen asleep. Thus the husband and wife could only communicate in the company.
But in the company, as his identity was the immediate superior, Mr. King, there were many things that he could not say or ask.
However, it was pleasant to look at her without being easily noticed.
However, Luther did not realize that the seed of love that she had planted in his heart began to take root and sprout.
As his right-hand man, Bill had intentionally or unintentionally let Melina go to Luther's office to sign documents and send coffee.
Melina didn't consider it seriously. As an administrative assistant, she must do these daily things. Attending meetings, writing documents, and sending coffee to the boss were necessary skills in the workplace.
But in the eyes of other people, things could be different.
Tina, the executive assistant in the office, expressed her envy and gloated at her experience. At lunch, she even mocked her and asked if she had offended Bill or offered him gifts.
Melina only replied with a sneer.
Who was Bill?
As Mr. King's top special assistant, Bill received a dividend from the group instead of monthly salary.
If she had money to send gifts to Bill, she would rather buy a limited-edition car model for his son!
As for the other person...
Luther was very proud. Look, he was still attractive. Melina came to his office many times a day just to see him more.
He touched his chin and picked up the mirror in front of him.
Well, he was still very handsome!
Coincidentally, Melina came to deliver the document for him to sign. Luther raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes, and posed like a melancholic prince.
Clack-
Melina's folder fell to the ground and made a sound.
Luther was even more proud of himself. Look, he was so handsome that Melina was stunned. Eh, but it seemed that he could not be too happy. What if Melina fell in love with him in this identity? Although she loved the same person, he could not explain it clearly.
"Melina." He narrowed his eyes and called her name. His hand deliberately tugged at his tie, revealing half of his smooth collarbone.
The plots in romance novels were like this. This behavior was said to be attractive to the heroine.
In reality...
Melina was also really attracted by him.
No, why was she staring at him with her big eyes?
Was this a love-struck face? Luther was a little puzzled. He felt confused and looked at the woman approaching him. Then, a small snow-white hand slowly touched his forehead.
What was she going to do? Would she kiss him?
Should he back off? Melina, how could she do this...?
Suddenly, the hand retracted quickly. Melina placed the document on the table and asked cautiously, "President, are you having a fever?"
"It is admirable to work with illness, but illness is dangerous. A strong body is the basis of success. Besides, a fever for a long time may harm your brain. I suggest you spare some time to see the doctor." Melina said with sincerity.
Luther,"..."
"Here's the document. Take your time to read it. Call me if you need anything. Take care of yourself!"
Just as she was about to leave, she turned her head back and said. As a result, Luther was totally disappointed.
What the hell? Wasn't she subdued by his charm?
Fever? Brain?
She was indirectly scolding him for having a brain problem.
Very good, really good! Since she cared for him so much, she should accompany him to work overtime!
Taking a few deep breaths, Luther picked up the intercom and said coldly.
"Inform the secretary's office to work overtime today."
"Okay, boss."
Bill replied seriously. He glanced at Melina, who was looking at her watch. He made a decision for his boss.
"Melina, go and send this document to the CAF company. Then, you don't have to come back."
He thought that it was normal for the boss to work overtime, but his wife had to go back to accompany their son.
Thus, he considerately found a reason for Melina to go home early.
He didn't need praise because he was just so great!
...
An hour later.
Luther temporarily stopped working and walked to the president's office.
Seeing him come, everyone put down the work in their hands and stared at him silently.
Especially Tina. Her big watery eyes were full of obsession.
Luther's cold gaze swept over them one by one before landing on an empty spot.
"Where is Melina?"
"Melina went to deliver the document. Because the place is far away, I asked her to go home directly. After all, she has a child to care for." Bill replied unhurriedly, feeling more and more that he was a talent. What he said was reasonable, logical, and practical.
But wait. Why did his boss's face turn dark?
Was it because he had to work overtime and could not go home to accompany his wife in time?
Well, a man in love was clingy. He didn't want to leave the person he liked for a while.
(Luther: Be quiet!)
...
In fact, Luther would not meet Melina even if he went home now.
She received a call on her way to that company to deliver the document.
It was from the only person who cared about her in her childhood.
That was Melina's grandmother, senior Mrs. Winslow.
The people in their village all had the surname Winslow. Only senior Mrs. Winslow was from outside and married into the village. She was said to be very beautiful when she was young.
But because of some family problems, her father and mother were sick and passed away early.
She came to Winslow family to seek shelter from her distant relatives. After meeting Roger's father, she fell in love with him and stayed here.
Senior Mrs. Winslow was from a well-educated family. Her handwriting was good. She could speak southern dialects with a soft and beautiful voice and also mastered several foreign languages.
Logically speaking, the child taught by such people should not be as selfish as Roger, who only cared about money.
However, Roger was not her biological son but the child of Grandpa Winslow and his ex-wife.
The villagers got engaged early, and Grandpa Winslow got married at the age of 18. Later, the woman loathed his poverty and the poor life quality in the countryside, so she ran away with a wealthy businessman and abandoned her son, who was just over five years old.
A five-year-old child had already begun to understand life, and early education was very important for such a child.
Thus, even though Senior Madam had a lot of knowledge, she had no way to correct a child who had already gone astray. In addition, senior Mr. Winslow was injured seriously during a fishing trip. After that, he could no longer have children in his life. Thus, he doted on Roger even more.
Back then, after Melina's mother died, Senior Madam disagreed with Roger marrying Florence. However, she could only give up because Florence was pregnant.
The relationship between the two women was not good. Also, the mother and the son were not related by blood.
Thus, Senior Madam stayed alone in the countryside with Melina, who could not rely on her mother's family and was disliked by her father.
It was not until Melina was about to go to high school that Roger, who made a fortune, realized that his eldest daughter had to go to a renowned university to marry a wealthy man in the future. At that time, he heard that wealthy families liked highly educated women.
It was fair to say that Senior Madam had personally brought Melina up.
So when Senior Madam said on the phone that she wanted her to go back to see her and have a meal together, she agreed without hesitation, even though she was tired of that family now.
She did not understand.
What exactly did she do wrong? Why would her father treat her like that?
Vanessa was his daughter. Was she not?
Thinking of her grandmother, Melina decided not to go empty-handed. She especially went to the pharmacy to buy a lot of supplements. It was not that she had never given her grandmother money, but the old lady was used to saving money. She saved up all the money, and in the end, she would give it to her and Vanessa.
In the past, she did not care about it.
In a family, they didn't have to be so concerned about such things.
But now, when she thought of her stepmother's face and her sister's request, she was so angry that she could not stand it.
In the future, no matter how rich she would be, she would not give a single cent to that selfish sister.
As she was lost in her thoughts, it was already eight o'clock when she arrived at Winslow family with her things.
In the past years, Roger was lucky enough to make a fortune. He had already made millions of money. He also bought a small villa in the capital. However, the location was very remote. It took an hour to drive from the house to the city.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Melina heard laughter from the house.
She also saw a familiar car parked in the courtyard.
The car belonged to Dorian's family.
She immediately wanted to leave, planning to come again when they were not here.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a stooped figure appeared in her sight.
"Is it Melina?" The old lady's questioning voice was mixed with dense anticipation.
"Grandma!" Melina quickly ran up and into the arms of the old lady who was shorter than her.
"Grandma, why are you standing at the door?" Melina took the things and walked in with the old lady.
"Well, I was waiting for you. Vanessa's future mother-in-law is here. Your father and the others are chatting with her. It was hard for me, a old woman to talk with them, so I just sat at the door and waited for you. I thought that if you didn't come, I would call you and ask you to stay at home. It's not safe for a girl to be out so late at night. I didn't expect to see a figure at the door. After I took a closer look, it is indeed my cute Melina."
Senior Madam kept saying as she grabbed Melina's hand tightly.
She had lived in the village for her life. Although there was no need to plant the land, she still more or less had to do some farm work. The old lady's palms had many calluses, and the rough touch felt like gravel.
But Melina felt very warm and safe.
When she was a child, the old lady had held her hand like this and walked along the lane for more than ten years. She would never lose her way on the road even if she closed her eyes.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was. Who would need Senior Madam to go to greet? What happened? Did you make a fortune in just a few days? Melina, you can even afford an LV bag. Is it fake? Or did you receive it from some dirty man?"
