Chapter 108
Zach shivered, caught off guard.
It had been ages since he heard such an exaggerated voice. He immediately felt the urge to turn his head to see who it was.
The moment he looked, he was stunned. ‘Melanie?
Trevor also glanced over.
Melanie had been waiting for a day, When she noticed Trevor looking her way, she felt like she’d found water in a desert. She quickly walked over, her high heels clicking. “Mr. Walters, what a coincidence,” she said.
She had arrived at the hotel last night, but it was too late to knock on Trevor’s door. Besides, Trevor was in the Presidential Suite, and she couldn’t just walk in.
This morning, she set an alarm for eight o’clock and waited until now to finally see Trevor.
She had touched up her up a couple of times. Fortunately, her persistence finally paid off, and she got her chance.
In Trevor’s calm and cold eyes, a hint of emotion flickered,
Zach had already picked up on Trevor’s displeasure.
Zach thought. From the very first time Mr. Walters met Melanie, he clearly disliked her. How could Melanie be so clueless about reading the room?
“What’s the matter, Ms. Lampard?” Zach asked,
Melanie felt a bit annoyed with Zach, thinking, ‘Can’t he see I am speaking with Mr. Walters? Why is he interrupting?” “Meeting Mr. Walters here today seems like fate, Melanie said with a graceful smile. “There were some misunderstandings in our previous meetings, and I believe I should explain it to Mr. Walters. I also want to talk about something concerning Kylie.*
Zach frowned, wondering. Something concerning Kylie? Does Melanie want to stir up trouble again?
Does she really think I haven’t thoroughly investigated her and the Lampard family?
‘I am clear about the details, and so is Mr. Walters. But Melanie isn’t aware of it.
‘Melanie thinks she is the center of the world. She believes everyone will revolve around her. Her parents and brothers in the Lampard family certainly focus on her, not to mention Mr. Walters. As long as she puts in a little effort, everything will be within reach.
“You take care of it. After tossing a few words to Zach, Trevor went straight to the elevator.
Melanie wanted to stop him but couldn’t keep up.
“Mr. Walters, Kylie deceived you,” she shouted anxiously. She wondered, “Trevor has clearly heard me, so why is he
me?
ignoring
Seeing Trevor enter the elevator, Zach turned to Melanie. Tell the whatever it is first. What has Ms. Thompson tricked Mr. Walters into?”
Melanie bit her lower lip, feeling upset. She thought. What has Rylie done to enchant Trevor so much that he won’t listen to

“Now, Trevor turns a cold shoulder on me definitely because Kylie has spoken ill of me.”
“Does Mr. Walters know that Kylie has a boyfriend?” Melanie asked.
Zach raised an eyebrow, wondering, What exactly does Melanie know? She misunderstood me and Kylie before. And now it also involves Mr. Walters.
“What does it matter anyway?” Zach replied vaguely.
“Of course, it matters. If Mr. Walters knows that Kylie has a boyfriend yet still spends time with her, wouldn’t that make him the other man? And if he doesn’t know, then Kylie is deceiving him. Even if Mr. Walters only considers Kylie a casual fling. he needs to know the truth. Plus, Kylie is part of the Lampard family. Her actions bring disgrace upon the family, and we share that shame. If she ends up angering Mr. Walters, it’ll be disastrous for all of us, Melanie said with a frown, clearly irritated, as she spoke to Zach.
Zach couldn’t help but chuckle. He thought, ‘Is Melanie out of her mind?‘
“Also, Kylie must have spoken ill of the Lampard family in front of Mr. Walters, leading Trevor Corp to stop collaborating with us. Now, our company has suffered significantly, and we might face bankruptcy. So, I must understand the complete backstory, and I hope Mr. Walters will give me a chance and time to sort this out,” Melanie declared confidently.
Zach chuckled, “How did Ms. Lampard find out about Mr. Walters’s whereabouts?”
Zach chuckled, “How did Ms. La
That question left Melanie at a loss for words. She immediately started to feel a bit uneasy.
Her eyes darted nervously. “I don’t know what you mean. I just happened to run into Mr. Walters today, and there’s no rule
says I can’t visit this city or stay in this hotel, right?”
that
Melanie thought, “How did Zach realize I got Mr. Walters’s location from others?
“No wonder Claude told me never to underestimate Zach. Anyone who is kept by Mr. Walters’s side is not a simple person.
“Oh, really? Do you think I won’t spread the news and find out which private detective did this? It won’t take long for someone to spill the beans. Don’t be too clever by half. If you dare bother Mr. Walters again, the Lampard family will be left with nothing.” Zach’s smile faded, replaced by a cold and intimidating aura.
Melanie’s expression changed dramatically with fear. “You!”
“Do you really think people can’t see through your intentions?” Zach looked at Melanie as if she were a fool.
What she did today had him in stitches.
Melanie’s face turped ghostly pale. She couldn’t believe how accurately her thoughts were guessed.
“You’ve all been fooled by Kylie,” she said in exasperation.
Zach was done wasting words on the stupid Melanie in front of lim.
He thought, ‘Melanie’s manipulative tactics might work on other but bringing them before me and Mr. Walters? Not at
chance.
I consider it a testament to my good manners that I haven’t lashed out at Melanie.
After a busy day, I still have to waste time with a stupid woman. What a day!”
Zach walked briskly toward the elevator.
Left standing there, Melanie felt utterly deflated. She never expected that, after all the effort of flying in and waiting an entire day, this was what she would

She gritted her teeth and said with hatred, “Kylie, I won’t let you have the last laugh. So what if Trevor is backing you up? your mom, dad, and brothers still like me better. Soon your foster mom and brothers will like me too, and then you’ll be all alone, with no one caring for you.”
She took out her phone, opened WhatsApp, and found Amanda. Glaring at Amanda’s profile picture, she sneered with contempt.
Without thinking twice, she recorded a voice message and sent it “Mom, I know I was wrong. I didn’t understand before, but now I’ve thought it through. You went through so much to bring me into the world, and I refused to acknowledge you. That’s really ungrateful of me. Please forgive me, Mom. I understand that because of Kylie, you might not easily forgive me. but I don’t blame you. If you have time this weekend. I’d like to visit you
She waited for a few minutes, but there was no reply from Amanda.
Melanie didn’t worry. She was Amanda’s real daughter, and she didn’t believe Amanda would actually be heartless enough to ignore her.
Amanda saw the WhatsApp message sent by Melanie.
Kathy was confused. Has Melanie really thought it through
After all, Melanie was her own daughter. Amanda couldn’t help but feel a bit soft–hearted.
After hesitating for a few minutes, she replied to Melanie that it was okay.
After Zach returned to his room, he took a shower and lay in bed, unable to fall asleep. Then he picked up his phone. He sent a message to Kylie on WhatsApp. [Melanie tracked down Mr. Walters’s whereabouts and followed him to the hotel. She probably guessed that you were with him, but had no clue that you two were married.]
