I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 416 | Find Her Cute

“Oh?”

Linda’s smile remained on her face as she looked straight into Melanie’s eyes. She asked, “Did we used to know each other?”

“| feel a sense of familiarity with you,” Melanie said, as she observed the look in Melanie’s eyes.

“Haha...” Linda laughed brightly. “To think that | gave you that feeling. Do all beautiful women feel such affinity when they meet each other?”

“Perhaps, Ms. Yancey. Sorry for holding you back. Maybe I'll see you again next time,” Melanie said, bidding. her goodbye with a nod.

Linda raised her hand from the white jacket over her shoulders, and waved adorably at Melanie. “Bye bye.....* Just then, Cyrus walked over from behind and saw Melanie spacing out. Confused, he asked, “What's the matter?”

“Oh, nothing.” Melanie said with a shake of her head. She followed Cyrus and the rest out.

Back at the hotel, Melanie opened the door and saw cushions arranged neatly on the sofa opposite the door. She noticed that the teapot and cups on the coffee table were arranged neatly, too.

She asked sarcastically, “President Morgan? Are you trespassing private property again?” Jeffrey walked out from inside and asked with narrowed eyes, “How did you know | was here?”

“This and that. They are all clean.” She pointed a finger at the spots she had noticed. “Unlike me, you're a clean freak. William diligently makes sure that wherever you go, your environment is spotless.”

The corner of Jeffrey’s lips lifted. His woman was simply intelligent... “Why didn’t you think that it was the hotel staff who cleaned the room?” he asked.

“Hotel staff have all received training, and they keep to strict rules in their housekeeping. They’d alternate the designs of the cushions, one black and one spotted, and so on. Clearly, that’s not so in this case... What’s more, I’m very familiar with William's style as a straight man. This is definitely his work,” Melanie said with

certainty. William walked out and said awkwardly, “Mrs. Morgan... You're being too direct...”

Jeffrey held back his laughter, and helped Melanie to her seat. William swiftly poured a cup of milk and took out a colorful basket of fruits from the kitchen that had been thoroughly washed.

“Have some.”

Jeffrey picked out a kiwi, and cut it into half. He took a spoon, stuck it in one half of the kiwi and handed it to Melanie.

Melanie took it and ate as Jeffrey watched on, as if he could vicariously taste the tangy fruit in his mouth.

“| heard about how Mr. Locke made things difficult for you at the scene,” Jeffrey said.

“I've settled things.” Melanie said without looking up, her hands still busy digging the flesh of the fruit with the spoon. This kiwi was so sweet, she didn’t taste even a hint of sourness. “Ms. Yancey helped me out.”

“Oh yes,” Melanie said, as she looked up at Jeffrey. “| wanted Annie to help me check on Ms. Yancey, but since you're knocking on my door, perhaps | should ask you first. Do you know about Linda Yancey and the Yanceys?”

“Can | trouble you to please consider me first when you encounter problems next time?” Jeffrey said with pursed lips, clearly concerned.

“I've known Annie since | was a kid. What about you?” Melanie said. Jeffrey's tone softened and he conceded defeat. “What do you want to know?”

“Didn't you mention that you got someone to check out if there were other conglomerates with activities in Medonia? Linda’s considered one. What's more, she’s a lady who’s elegant and sharp-witted...”

“Do you suspect that she’s the biological mother of that boy?” Jeffrey asked.

Melanie nodded, but then shook her head. “Her voice is similar, but it sounds younger than the girl’s voice | heard. How old is Linda Yancey? | heard she’s still unmarried?”

Jeffrey nodded and analyzed the situation for Melanie, “She’s unmarried, and is probably over the age of 40. Based on what | can remember, the Yanceys and the Yorks don’t have much interaction. The Yorks cannot compare to the Yanceys in terms of power and status. Given Linda’s status and personality, she couldn’t possibly fancy someone like Harlow York.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What kind of personality does Linda have?” Melanie asked with curiosity.

“An absolute strong woman, mysterious and dangerous. She could have just lived a comfortable life as a rich heiress without a care in the world, but she single-handedly beat her brothers and is now the most highly- regarded successor of the family. She relies not just on her abilities but also trickery, to a certain extent,” Jeffrey explained.

Melanie nodded. “She sounds domineering.”

“She was originally named Lindsey Yancey, but she changed her name of her own accord when she was younger. On her 14th birthday celebration, she announced her name change before hundreds of guests. claiming that her original name sounded too weak,” Jeffrey added.

Melanie arched her brows. That was gutsy for a 14-year-old girl. “She wouldn’t help you out for no rhyme or reason.”

Right after saying so, Jeffrey instructed William to check out the relationship between Linda and Harlow. He knew Linda forcefully invested in Melanie’s two new fragrances, which worried him more so than Leo’s

investment.

“You have to keep your guard up against Linda,” Jeffrey reminded Melanie.

“| find her quite cute.”

Melanie smiled as she thought about how Linda looked when they bade each other goodbye. Somehow, she found Linda amusing.

“She said all beautiful women feel an affinity when they meet each other, and it really did feel that way.” Jeffrey's brows knitted tightly. “I heard that Linda likes women. You’d better watch out!”

“Hah, that works out well!” Melanie said with a bright smile. “Since the Yorks can’t compare to the Yanceys in

terms of power and status, I’ve lucked out!”
