Chapter 425 Suicide
Adam was kept busy with preparations for tomorrow’s show the moment he arrived at the hotel. Make–up trials, outfit tryouts, jewelry matching and stage rehearsals filled his schedule.
It was only when he finally had time to eat that he heard about the organizers taking the liberty to find a new partner for him without his agreement–and it was the rich heiress of an organization he had never heard of in his life!
He was sought–after by many and born for the stage, but he was also equally fearful of the stage.
That was why it was a pursuit of perfection for him each time he appeared on stage. He would communicate in advance with the organizer of each and every event he made an appearance in, and he had to agree to the partner that the organizer had planned for him.
This time round, they had agreed for the finale of the show to be his personal catwalk without a female partner. The last minute change made his blood boil!
He snapped harshly, “I’m done with organizers who don’t know how to respect others!”
Adam was well–known in the industry to keep to high standards and have a mind of his own. What’s more, his popularity had risen sharply as of late, and his schedule was packed to the brim with people fighting to work with him.
If it weren’t for Linda Yancey, it would have been impossible for him to make an appearance on
this stage.
Kelly figured out the reason behind Adam’s fury, and crooked a finger to signal her subordinate to come over. She asked in a low voice, “Were we the ones who angered Adam O’Shea?”
The subordinate thought about it before saying, “Mr. Wright said earlier that he had settled things
with Adam. I think Melanie was the one who privately contacted Adam’s staff member to try to
make herself his partner, that was what made Adam angry.”
Kelly pondered for a moment, and thought that it makes sense.
Just then, Mr. Wright arrived, surrounded by a bunch of people. Linda Yancey handed such affairs
over to Mr. Wright to handle, and he was here to appease Adam and his anger.
The moment Kelly saw Mr. Wright arrive, her fears dissipated in that instant. She was sure it was
Melanie’s ignorance that angered Adam. She would sit back and see how Melanie explain herself
to Mr. Wright and Linda Yancey!
Adam sat on a swivel chair with his back facing the door, completely ignoring whoever entered

AJ’S ANNOYr was trying to persuade Adam, but his efforts were all in vain. The moment he sa A. Wright arrive, he began to vent his frustrations on him.
WE WON, it was originally because of your sincerity that we decided to reject a few other shows azanced and accept the invitation to Als. Yancey’s jewelry show. This is our first collaboration, and you’ve screwest things up. Are you trying to make this our last time working together?”
Trevone pezse calm down, I can settle this issue.” Mr. Wright said in a placating tone.
Adam’s ey couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush, and deliberately said sarcasticald, “Adam said we’ll go today. Your show is too high–class for us to be a part of.”
Mr. Whight started pankking. “Please, don’t We can talk things through…”
Ats. Yancey specifically requested for Adam to model the latest jewelry series “Sun and Moon” that she personally designed as part of the show’s finale. If Adam were to leave right now, what would happen to tomorrow’s show?
He had no way of explaining things to Linda Yancey.
“Adam, please don’t be angry, Everything you heard is just rumors. They’re true. That person just thinks too highly of herself in wanting to be your partner. She’s not your partner, I am!”
Kelly tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear, and walked past the crowd into Adam’s room with a
coy smile.
Mr. Wright saw her coming out and creating trouble. He glared hard at her, but Kelly simply thought that Mr. Wright was in agreement with what she said.
She went on boldly, “I specially hired a teacher to teach me how to catwalk at home. I even watched videos of your previous fashion shows, and know exactly how to catwalk with you. I
won’t be as thick–skinned as someone else!”
Adam furrowed his brows, utterly confused. Where did this madwoman come from, and why was
she spouting all this nonsense?
He didn’t intend to turn around, but curiosity got the better of him. He turned around, wanting to
see who this fool was.
That made Kelly even more smug. She managed to successfully coax Adam when everyone else
failed!
Adam stared at her and asked, “What are you talking about?”
“I said that I’m your partner. Did you not see the information that Mr. Wright gave you? I’m Kelly

“Who?”
Adam was puzzled and frustrated at the same time. Kelly’s mention of Melanie’s name sent his mind into further chaos.
Just then, the crowd parted. Mr. Wright and Kelly turned around, to see Linda Yancey walking
toward them.
They lowered their heads and stepped aside.
Linda walked into the room, and said, “Adam, I heard everything everyone said just now. I have an idea of the situation. Don’t worry, I’ll deal with those on my side who made the mistake. We’ll
have the solo segment as agreed previously and nothing will be changed. Please stay on my
account.”
Adam’s stance softened at the arrival of Linda. He paused for a moment, and spotted Melanie in
the crowd.
“Ms. Yancey, I heard this lady say that…..Melanie Jones wants to be my partner, too? Is that true? Is that the same Melanie Jones that I know?”
With that, he lifted a finger gracefully and pointed at Melanie.
“If it’s her, I’m willing to do the finale with a partner.”
