Melinda’s smile disappeared from her face: "There’s never a place for me in your heart."
Elijah: "Go find someone who can."
Melinda turned and walked away.
That night, Melinda was feeling down, so she asked Derek to join her for a drink.
Seeing her in such a state, Derek bluntly said: "No guy will like you if you’re like this."
Melinda’s eyes filled with anger: "I’m already tired enough outside! Do I still have to pretend in my own
home?!"
Derek poured her a drink: "Melinda, we siblings need to stick together more. If you listen to me, you
can have anything you want."
"Can I have Elijah?" Melinda downed her drink and asked him with red eyes.
Derek put his arm around her, leaned in and whispered: "You can’t have him while he’s alive, but if he
dies, I can give you his ashes. That’s like having him indirectly, isn’t it?"
Melinda’s face changed drastically, and she pushed him away forcefully!
"Derek! Are you out of your damn mind?! Don’t you dare hurt Elijah!"
‘Bang!’
Derek slammed into the table behind him, feeling a sharp pain in his waist. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it!" Melinda helped him up, feeling guilty, "I didn’t mean to argue with you... But
Elijah is my bottom line, don’t become his enemy!"
" ... We’re already enemies." Derek gasped in pain, "He’s investing 500 million dollars in the Dennis
Group. Melinda, do you think it’s worth that much? He’s provoking me!"
Melinda stiffened.
"Is that true? How come I haven’t heard anything?"
"Because he doesn’t trust you. And he deliberately let the news leak to me. I bet he and Violette talked
privately." Derek slowly sat on the sofa, looking pained, "Melinda, get me some medicine."
Melinda went to get the medicine box
, while her thoughts were wandering.
Maybe she’d never see Elijah and Violette get divorced.
She had never seen Elijah treat any woman so seriously
.
She lost!
So thoroughly!
...
Derek’s father’s birthday party was held at the Marcia family’s villa in R City.
A City and R City were neighboring, just over an hour’s drive away.
Derek called Violette early in the morning, wanting to pick her and Albina up.
Violette declined politely: "My mom doesn’t want to go, and I have to go back to school for something
today. You don’t need to worry about me, just go ahead!"
Violette didn’t have anything urgent.
Derek knew she just didn’t want to be with him.
Derek: "Violette, try to come early, I have something to tell you."
Violette: "Mmm... I have something to tell you too."
After hanging up, Violette went back to sleep.
She had stayed up late last night writing a paper and was extremely tired.
At the R City villa.
At noon, the Marcia family’s huge parking lot was filled with luxury cars.
Elijah entered the gate and began searching for Violette in the crowd.
"Violette hasn’t arrived yet." Melinda said, "You two haven’t made up yet? I thought you’d come
together."
Elijah was calm: "We might make up tomorrow."
"I heard you want to invest 500 million in the Dennis Group. Elijah, as a friend, I think you’re being
irrational." Melinda poured him a glass of warm water.
"How much money I give her is between me and her." Elijah picked up the water glass and took a sip,
"You don’t need to worry about my family affairs."
Melinda’s face turned pale.
Family affairs!
He didn’t even care about a 500 million dollar investment!
"I will never comment on your relationship with Violette again!" Melinda said resentfully.
Elijah: "You’d better keep your word."
