I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 412 Top Financial Conglomerates Jeffrey pondered for a moment and replied, “My family doesn’t even have this medicine.”

“Yes. I’ve instructed our men to follow this lead and investigate whether there are any women matching Mrs. Morgan’s description among the relevant individuals, and whether they've had contact with Harlow. However, I’m not sure if some major families have secretly purchased this medicine. I'll keep an eye on it,” William said

shrewdly.

Jeffrey nodded. “Focus on investigating families that have recently had someone injured, and need to recuperate.”

“Yes!” William acknowledged.

The search for the biological mother of the boy hadn't yielded any results yet. On the other hand, the Yorks had given an explanation.

After the commotion caused by Cyrus and the pressure exerted by Jeffrey and Leo, Joseph ordered the retrieval of most of Harlow’s assets within the company, suspended his position within the company, and confined him to the home until the investigations into the fire and assassination incidents were cleared.

“It seems the Yorks still want to protect Harlow.” Melanie lowered her gaze. Although not entirely unexpected, she still felt displeased.

Harlow was involved in both the murder and arson incidents. However, the final decision of the Yorks was to confine him at home, which meant that when the dust settled and Joseph’s mood improved, his assets would

return to his hands.

“Recently, there have been changes in the international business world. With the joint pressure from me and Elder Gibson on the York family, even if they want to protect him, Harlow wouldn’t dare to cause trouble during

his house arrest. Once he does, Joseph won't be able to justify it to the outside world,” Jeffrey reassured her. Melanie nodded. As long as Cyrus and Jeffrey continued to suppress him, Harlow’s house arrest wouldn’t be too short. This period would be enough for her to have some peace of mind.

Knowing that Jeffrey was afraid she might find the result unsatisfactory, she added, “Don’t worry. | know the status and position of the Yorks. With Harlow being one of the two heirs, we can’t be too hasty in dealing with

him.”

“Then let’s take our time.” Jeffrey smirked, revealing a cunning smile.

“Are you no longer pretending to be innocent in front of me, President Morgan?” Melanie smiled. This was the first time he had shown his scheming side in front of her.

“Do | still need to pretend in front of you?”

Melanie chuckled, and teased, “Weren't you planning to take revenge at first? Don’t think you can foot me. Don’t think I’ve become stupid due to pregnancy.”

“I'd say you've become more articulate.” Jeffrey lightly pursed his lips, conceding defeat.

One week later, Melanie’s second fragrance, “Solution,” was successfully formulated. All the participants had submitted their fragrances, and the organizers convened all judges and participants for the awards ceremony.

Only one participant would be awarded the first prize, while three would be awarded the second prize. Five people would be awarded the third prize.

After several rounds of evaluations by over a dozen judges and with scores given separately, the first place was secured by Cyrus as expected. Following closely were other popular candidates like Gabriel. Melanie’s score, although incomparable to Elder Gibson and Gabriel, secured her the fourth position and the last second

After announcing the list of winners, according to the rules of the competition, they needed to ask the participants if they had any objections. If there were no objections, the award ceremony would proceed directly.

However, someone unexpectedly stood up to challenge them. “I have a question!”

“May | ask what your question is?” The host managed his expression well, disguising his surprise.

“I'm doubtful of Melanie Jones’s score. | request to see her scorecards!”
