Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 38

However, the receptionist shook her head.

The smile on Melanie’s face instantly vanished. She frowned and asked, “What do · you mean? When on earth will I get to see her?”

Melody explained with a smile, “Please don’t worry, Miss Greyson. Master Mia has agreed to meet you, and she is a woman of her word. Unfortunately, someone has spent 7.5 million to book all her time today. Therefore, I’m afraid you’ll just have to wait, Miss Greyson. I’m sure that soon enough, Master Mia will arrange an appointment for you. Please be patient, Miss Greyson.”

As soon as Melanie heard that, her expression turned sour. 7.5 million? Are they trying to scam me? It was impossible for Melanie to bring such an amount to the table, so she could only leave a warning with the receptionist. “You better not be lying to me, or else, I won’t let you get away with it.”

Hanson arrived at Luke Estate and immediately ordered Finley, “Take Morales and Morgan out for the day and don’t come back so soon.”

Finley had no clue what happened, but he did not dare to make any wild guesses either. He quickly answered, “Yes, sir.”

He had been working for Hanson for quite a long time now, so he could tell that Hanson was currently fuming.

Hanson took a seat on the couch and started reading some documents on his phone.

A short while later, Melanie opened the door and stepped in. When she saw that Hanson was home, she was pleasantly surprised. He had been gone on a business trip for the past two days, so she did not expect that he would be home so soon.

She smiled sweetly as she walked over to share her good news about her appointment with Mia Stravinsky. “Hanson, I have some good news for you.”

However, before she reached Hanson, she was startled by the expression on his face. His brows were furrowed with great displeasure, and his eyes that were glinting coldly seemed to be staring daggers at her. His pupils were dark, and she could not identify the emotion within them.

Before she could even open her mouth to ask what was happening, Hanson’s lips curved ever-so-slightly into a chilling smirk. He was giving off an icy aura that sent chills down her spine, and she even felt a hint of bloodlust mixed in with his callousness.

Melanie had a panicked smile. “Hanson, what’s the matter? What happened? Why are you looking at me like that?”

She even touched her face to check if something had gone awry with her beauty treatment earlier.

When all this fell into Hanson’s eyes, all he could see was the shallow vapidness of her acting. She was just putting on a show for him.

He picked up the documents on the table and tossed them toward her. As the sheets of paper scattered at her feet, he coldly suggested, “Before you speak, think very carefully about what you plan to say.”

Melanie was wide-eyed and flustered as she scrambled to pick up the documents. What did Hanson find out? She never thought that he would find out about what happened in Eastland.

When she saw the words “beauty treatment”, her eyes grew even wider and she uneasily hurried through the rest of the documents.

Melanie gulped and tried to compose herself, but it was impossible for her to calm down. She eked out a weak smile that was very unnatural as she asked, “Hanson, do you believe that this is true? Why is it

always my fault whenever something happens to Vania? Don’t you think that there’s something unusual about her? Why is she suddenly coming between us and stirring up all this trouble? Does she have some sort of ulterior motive? Hanson, we should stay away from this sort of conniving person. As for the things that are being described in these documents, I never did any of them. It’s all a lie.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

She had planned every single detail and made sure that she would not be implicated at all. Every single part of her plan was carried about by someone else, so it should not have been traced back to her. Also, she had sent someone to keep an eye on things and they told her that all had gone to plan. Even though the phone with the recording had gone missing during the fight, they had already found the chip and would soon be delivering it to her.
