Chapter 189 I Picked It Up
Jennifer stood at the doorway of the living room, watching the plane fly further and further away. Her expression changed slightly. She took out her phone and dialed Hobson’s number, suppressing her frustration. “Buy the plane ticket another day. A small problem came up. After speaking, she hung up the phone.
Just as she turned around, she noticed Stephanie standing behind her. Jennifer stopped in her tracks and saw that Stephanie was motionless as if she had something to say. “What’s wrong?” Jennifer asked.
“Miss Fox,” Stephanie looked up at her and gathered her courage to speak. I think Mr. Fox and Madam Fox are a perfect match. The most important thing is that they love each other and have children together Why do you want to stop them from being together?”
Jennifer furrowed her eyebrows. She didn’t expect Stephanie to ask such a question.
“Miss Fox, please let them be!” Stephanie could no longer stand it and quickly expressed her opinion. “I know Miss Keller is outstanding and a very kind person, but Mr. Fox doesn’t love her!”
“You’re too young, and you’re still thinking immaturely like a little girl. Jennifer smiled and looked at her. her eyes filled with amusement. “In the adult world, there is no such thing as love. Love is only something that young girls believe in.”
-Stephanie hesitated, not knowing how to argue with her.
“Maybe love does exist,” Jennifer said, her thoughts drifting back to the distant past. Her expression became more serious. “But that’s something only in the time of youth before we enter the adult world.
Stanley is already 38 years old. He has been adept in the business world for many years. If he didn’t prioritize his own interests, how could the Fox Group be so powerful?”
Stephanie felt sad.
“Did you know?” Jennifer stated with certainty. “In this world, only self-interest is everlasting. The things Monica can provide to Stanley are more tangible and capable of upholding his position.”
Stephanie didn’t understand. She just felt that it was a pity if marriage only had business interests and no love. That marriage would be like a prison.
On the private plane flying to Navelic….
“What’s in your bag?” Stanley noticed this and asked with a smile. “Where are you planning to go?”
Melinda smiled and tried to hide the truth. “They’re just some small items. I’m not going anywhere.”

“Let me see.” He was curious and reached out, taking the bag from her. Then, he opened the bag as she tried to stop him.
Inside were the teacups and keychain he had given her, along with a jade pendant which was half a piece.
“Why are you carrying these?” Stanley wondered. “There’s no water in the cup.
“I thought the sunlight in the yard was perfect, so I wanted to take some close-up shots of them.” She came up with a suitable reason with her quick thinking. “After all, they were gifts from you, so they are meaningful. Plus, I can share them on social media and brag about them.”
Looking at her beautiful smile, he believed her.

“What about this jade pendant that only has half a piece?” Putting the other two items back into the bag, he held the jade pendant in his hand, examining it closely. The jade is pure and delicate. It’s not flashy at all. It’s intriguing. It really is an excellent piece of jade. Where’s the other half of it?”
As he finished speaking, he looked up at her.
Melinda’s smile was elegant and beautiful. Her face also exuded a gentle maternal glow. “I picked it up from the streets.” She reached out her hand toward him. “Can you give it back to me?”
Picked it up from the streets?
Stanley glanced at the jade pendant, not fully believing her but also not asking further questions. He discreetly memorized the appearance of the pendant and returned it to her. The radiant sunlight streamed through the window, casting a soft, luminous glow over them. Melinda put away the jade pendant and hooked her arm around his, gently leaning on his shoulder. Stanley turned his gaze toward her, his fingers clasping her hand.
“Why are your hands so cold?” he asked.
“Can you warm them up for me?”
“Sure.”
Her breath brushed against his ear. It was so close and clear. This scene was like a beautiful painting. he wished time could freeze.
At Fox Group in Riverdale, Monica was enveloped in a restless state, feeling particularly uneasy.
She felt that she was completely done for! Since Jennifer cured Melinda. Monica missed the opportunity to become Mrs. Fox and occupy that position.
She couldn’t understand why Melinda miraculously recovered after she had added corrosive iodine to the medicine. It was something she couldn’t comprehend. Suddenly, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. Seeing the caller ID. she quickly composed herself and gave a smile.
