Chapter 346 A Stranger
“You’re smart. You must have already figured out who I’m talking about, right? That’s right! You’re that high school student, Miss Melanie!”
When Jane finished everything she memorized from her script, even she got furious from it.
“You said you don’t believe in coincidence, but the heart you have belonged to Mr. Morgan’s ex-girlfriend. Isn’t that a coincidence? Are you going to deny that coincidences exist in this world?”
Jane let it all out as if she wanted to have her revenge. “Maybe I can’t get anything from him, but don’t worry. because he has never truly loved you either! Because the only person he ever loved was the woman who’s already dead!
“That’s not exactly right. It’s not right to say that he had never loved you, because he did love that heart of yours… That heart that never belonged to you in the first place!”
Melanie swallowed, stunned.
Her reasoning skills and her courtesy helped her to stand in place, but only she knew that her legs were shaking.
“You’re done?” she asked while trying to control her voice.
“I’m done.”
Jane turned around and returned to the room she was in just now. “I’ve finished my mission. As for how you make it, it’s no longer my problem!”
Melanie took two steps back and held herself up by holding onto the railing as she blacked out for a few seconds.
When Melanie opened her eyes again, she realized that Jeffrey was standing in front of her.
His eyes were red, and she could see nervousness in his eyes as he stared at her. It was obvious that he heard their conversation.
Melanie wanted to ask him later once she had calmed down, but his reaction had already given her the answer she needed…
“Is everything she said true?” she asked, her voice shaking.
“No,” Jeffrey answered decisively.
“Which part?” Melanie was very logical. “The earlier part? Of the latter part?”
Jeffrey was silent for a few seconds as he looked at her. “I didn’t treat you as anyone’s replacement.”
“What about my heart?”
Melanie couldn’t help but tear up as she raised her hand and wiped her tears away. “You knew who I was from the very beginning? And you knew her heart was inside of me?”
Jeffrey was quiet.
“Is that why you wanted to marry me in secret?”
Jeffrey remained silent.

“Since we’re never on the same level from the very beginning, how am I supposed to trust that you never treated me as someone else’s replacement?” She wiped the tears off her face clean before walking downstairs.
Jeffrey wanted to go after her, but she simply said without even turning around, “Don’t follow me.”
Her voice was so frigid, as if talking to a stranger.
“What did you say to Melanie?”
Leo saw Melanie coming downstairs and leaving the party hall. She didn’t even say goodbye, so he went
upstairs and asked Jane.
Jane felt the weight off her shoulders. Even when facing Leo, she was no longer afraid. “Mr. Quinn taught me
everything I said. I’ve done the mission he told me to. If you want to know what I said, you can ask him.”
With that, Jane left the place in her bathrobe, barefooted.
“That woman…!”
Leo was upstairs and saw how Jane was attracting attention from his guests as she walked around in her
unique outfit.” With disdain, he said, “Is Nathan alright? Getting a madwoman like that to act for him.”
“Didn’t Mr. Romero say that Nathan’s plan will work?”
His subordinate behind him calmed him down. “Melanie got in her car and left after she went out, as if she was missing a part of her. Which meant that whatever the madwoman did worked! Why don’t you chase after her? This is a good chance to get closer to her!”
“What do you know?!”
Leo looked at him unhappily. “If I were to find her right now, all I’ll be doing is making things.worse!”
At this time, his subordinate received a call. After finishing it, he quickly called and reported back to Leo.” Master Leo, our men had finally found out that when Master Joseph asked for someone to investigate Melanie in secret, he also sent her sample for a paternity test!”
“A paternity test for our family?” Leo’s eyes brightened up.
“That’s right,” his subordinate answered.
“Cough… Cough…”
Leo coughed as he narrowed his eyes. Could it be that Melanie had something to do with the lost son that his grandfather had been searching for?
But…

To think that things were becoming so complicated…
When Jane left the York residence’s gate barefooted, a car immediately stopped by her side and picked her up before leaving.
Inside the car, the man in the passenger seat said, “You did well this time. That can correct all your past
mistakes.”
“Then… Am I free now?”
Jane was still scared of Nathan when he was physically present.
“You’ll continue to stay with Jeffrey. You’ll have your use,” Nathan said coldly.
“But… Didn’t I already successfully split him and Melanie up?” Jane said, not sure what his intention was.
“We’ve only just begun.”
Nathan smiled coldly as he narrowed his eyes.
Melanie had only found out that she had Emma’s heart and was angry that Jeffrey’s treating her as Emma’s replacement. But she didn’t know… that Jeffrey didn’t approach her in the first place because he cared. He
was there to seek his revenge on her!
And her father’s death… Love meant so little in the face of all the bloody grudges.
