Chapter 348 Worse Than a Scumbag
“Master Stephen, please don’t use rubbish plotlines from dramas like that to scare my boss.” William couldn’t
take it anymore and said to him as he stood up.
The madam was simply shocked… She wouldn’t be so surprised that she would kill herself!
After a while, William reported back the information he received. “Boss, the madam has finished checking on her heart and is now on her way back to the city.”
“Drive home.”
Jeffrey said coldly and the car started to move, leaving Stephen behind in the night, weak and helpless.
However, when Jeffrey reached their home at Marina Heights, Melanie was nowhere to be seen. Only after a
while did he receive news that her car was headed for North Street.
“North Street isn’t the direction heading to the Jones…”
William mumbled when he heard Jeffrey order, “Go and check where Annie Snow’s residence and company are
located!”
Three minutes later, William quickly said, “Found it, Boss! Annie’s company is in the same direction as North
Street and she’s working overtime at the office tonight!”
If she wanted to reach out to her friend, he would feel much better.
“Sir, should I still send you over to pick the madam up?” William asked.
Jeffrey waved his hand. She needed some fresh air and to speak to someone. He couldn’t force her too much.
“Annie’s company… Didn’t she sign up to tender for the company’s PR and marketing contract next season?”
Jeffrey suddenly remembered something and asked.
“That’s correct.”
William’s eyes shone with respect. Even when the boss was in emotional turmoil, he didn’t lose his intelligence. “The tendering is happening tomorrow. Ms. Annie might be working overtime tonight in
preparation for the tender.”
“You know what to do tomorrow.”
Jeffrey raised his head, narrowing his eyes, and William instantly knew what his boss meant and said, “The Snow’s PR agency has maintained a great reputation in Harbor City, and they are extremely professional. I will keep an eye on them tomorrow.”
Jeffrey nodded and waved his hand, and William quickly left.
Jeffrey closed his eyes and massaged his head. The sound of fabric brushing against each other was
magnified in the empty room, making things look especially lonely.

Once Melanie reached Annie’s company, she gave her a call. It was starting to rain and Annie quickly came over to pick her up with an umbrella, but she still got wet.
“Oh, my baby! Why are you so pale?” Annie said as she felt so sorry for her the moment she saw her.
Feeling Annie’s genuine care for her, Melanie hugged Annie tightly as she closed her eyes.
“Let’s get in. What happened?”
Annie protected her and took her in, leading her to her office before getting some clothes for her to change into while pushing her to get a hot shower, and the two of them chatted with a glass door in between them.
“You fought with Jeffrey?
“Since you’re not saying anything, I’m going to guess that I’m right.”
Annie then started mumbling after every few seconds. “That darn Jeffrey Morgan. He doesn’t look like a womanizer! What, don’t tell me that he cheated, just like Bryan?”
“He’s different. At least, Bryan was serious with me once.” Melanie’s voice echoed in the bathroom after she finished taking a shower and the sound of water splashing stopped.
“What?!”
Annie was shocked and she immediately sprang up from the sink she was sitting on. “He’s even worse than Bryan?! Don’t tell me he loves men? He’s faking a marriage? What else could be worse than that? What did he do to you?!”
Melanie opened the door and walked out wearing a bathrobe. “Annie, I need your help.”
“Just say it.”
“I want information about the person that donated their heart to me all those years ago,” she said.
“It’s top secret. Why do you suddenly want to know?” Annie was confused.
“It is quite difficult to check directly from the hospital’s system on organ donation. But… You can check using something else. Eight years ago, Jeffrey’s girlfriend died during a car accident…” Melanie said as her strength left her body.
“You’re saying…?”
Annie was a smart woman as well. After she compared the time, she finally realized what happened. “You’re saying… The heart you got…”
Melanie nodded. “You’re right. That’s why I said that when Bryan was with me, at least there’s a probability that he liked me. But Jeffrey didn’t…”
“That darn bas…!”
Annie continuously cursed for a bit. After she had cursed enough, she gave her a guarantee and said. “Don’t
“He’s Jeffrey Morgan. Don’t challenge him.” Melanie shook her head.

“So what if he’s Jeffrey Morgan? Even the gods can’t provoke my best friend!” Annie said angrily.
“There’s nothing to take revenge on. We’re all adults, and I didn’t lose anything from staying with him. At most, he stole my feelings. But it’s my own fault for getting lied to despite already being an adult,” Melanie said with
a cold, bitter laugh.
