Chapter 110 Stanley Is Infuriated
However, Melinda knew that she couldn’t leave now. Otherwise, it would seem like she had something to hide.
At this moment. Jessica noticed Melinda’s grim expression. She quickly rushed over and asked, “What’s the matter, Melinda?” She had no clue that Mervin was the other person in the news.
“What is Mervin and Stanley’s relationship?” Melinda asked in a low voice.
“What?” Jessica was surprised. “Do they know each other?”
Melinda’s eyes glinted. Jessica doesn’t look like she is lying. Maybe she doesn’t know anything.
By then, Mervin had reached the crowd. He smiled, looking like a Greek god.
Melinda remained calm.
“My friends, it’s been a long time since we last met. Mervin greeted the others happily. He looked at the others and raised an eyebrow when he saw Melinda. Never would he expect to see her here.
Melinda had her head hung low as she grilled the eggplants. Images of an angry Stanley flashed through her mind, and she had mixed emotions. Now that she was with Mervin again, she felt guilty.
Mervin deliberately walked up to her and said, “Hi. What a coincidence.”
“Hey.” Melinda smiled slightly.
“Let’s start the feast. What do you want to eat, Mervin? Here, pick your own food!” one of the girls said.
“Okay.” Mervin smiled as he looked at the girl. Then, he took a skewer of cuttlefish and walked to Melinda. “Do you like to eat this?” he asked softly.
“Did you have something to do with those pictures yesterday?” asked Melnovelxo.com fast updateinda with a calm. expression. “Why isn’t your face in any of the pictures? Moreover, isn’t it too much of a coincidence that the paparazzi managed to take those pictures?” She was straightforward.
“Are you suspecting me?” Mervin smiled at her playfully. “You are Mr. Fox’s wife, so you would be in the spotlight wherever you went. No matter who you are with, there is always a risk of being caught on camera. As for not showing my face, I guess they must have specifically chosen that kind of shot. Only then would they be able to catch the public’s attention.”
Melinda said nothing and smiled. However, deep down inside her heart, she knew Mervin was not as innocent as he looked.
Meanwhile, a Lamborghini left Emerald Harbor, but the destination of the passenger in the car wasn’t Fox Group. Stanley sat in the backseat and was talking on the phone. “Are you guys there
yet?” His voice was deep and husky. After some time, he said, “Okay. I’ll be right there.”
Recently, Fox Group had been eyeing a piece of land. They wanted to develop real estate there. The executives had surveyed and inspected the place multiple times, but Stanley only had the time to visit it today. They would start working on the project as soon as he approved of it.
Half an hour later, the Lamborghini stopped at the other end of the riverbank, where a few other cars were parked. Max and the others were already there. The driver opened the door for Stanley, and the latter exited the vehicle gracefully.
“Good morning, Mr. Fox.”
Everyone bowed toward him respectfully and gave him information about the land.
Max had been here twice and knew this place was a gem.
“We can build about 50 houses here and develop a big neighborhood. On the west side, we can build a school. That way, the house price will skyrocket in a short amount of time.”
“The new train station will be in that direction, which is not far from here.”
“We can also build a hospital nearby. If we build enough facilities nearby, this place will be popular.”
As Stanley heard them talking, he observed his surroundings. Then, Max gave him a pair of binoculars. Stanley took it and used it to look around. This place has a nice view, he thought. Suddenly, he saw a group of teenagers in a villa on the opposite side of the riverbank. Smoke filled the air as they were having a barbecue party. Just as he was about to look away, he saw Melinda among them and frowned deeply. Although he didn’t know what she was grilling, it seemed to be done. Then, he saw a familiar person seasoning the food that she grilled. It was Mervin!
