on her life.
As soon as she stepped out of the car, her eyes met Jessica’s as she emerged from a nearby shopping
center
“Melinda?” Jessica exclaimed with a shriek. Then, as if she had just found a priceless treasure, she hopped excitedly to Melinda.
Melinda stumbled back in fright while Jessica frantically screeched to a stop before her and asked, “What brings you here? It has been ages!” As soon as Jessica caught a glimpse of Melinda’s right cheek, her grin dissipated as shock and concern filled her eyes. “What happened to your face?”
“Huh?” Melinda was startled. Is the bruise so obvious that she notices it right away?
“Did Stanley hit you?” Jessica’s eyes glowed with rage, and she demanded. “That man actually tried to hurt you? Why do you look so exhausted? What on earth happened?”
“No, no, no!” Melinda hurriedly grabbed Jessica’s arm. “Quiet down!” She didn’t want to draw unwanted attention because they were in a crowded area.
At that moment, a video about Alice, the daughter of Edward, the successful businessman, and her birthday party began playing on the massive LED screen that hung outside the mall. The broadcaster’s enticing voice drew the attention of passersby, who all stopped and turned to watch the screen, and Jessica and Melinda were no exception. Anovelxo.com fast updates seen from the drone, the castle estate resembled a scene from a fairytale, creating a grand and spectacular event that left the viewer in awe.
Then, the female broadcaster reported, “One of the party’s highlights was Stanley Fox, President of Fox Group, who attended with his vice president, Monica Keller. He also brought two cute children with him. They surely are a perfect couple in both looks and talents. Mr. Fox once called Miss Keller extremely talented and an indispensable partner. Every photo the reporters took filled our hearts with warmth. What a pity she is not the children’s mother. They looked like the perfect family in the photos of the group. Those photos are now trending online.”
After that, a slideshow of photos was shown on the screen.
On the other hand, Melinda was overwhelmed with emotion after seeing the photos. They are clearly a happy family of four, as evidenced by the images, in which both adults and children can be seen smiling broadly.
“What is the meaning of this?” Jessica’s temper flared as more and more of the photos appeared on the screen. “Is he cheating on you?” After uttering this, she immediately pulled out her phone. I’m going to make him explain this! Stupid scumbag!”
“Jessica!” Melinda calmly grabbed her wrist. “You’re mistaken. This is just a misunderstanding the media outlets made up. You know how they like to stir controversy.”
“They even have photos! How are they lying?” Jessica refused to calm down and refuted, “If they were even
photographed in this state, what happens when no cameras are present? What if they’re sharing beds at night?”
After hearing that, Melinda reasoned, “Would he bring the children if he were to cheat on me? They still had school, so he specifically applied for leave. Since he was the one who handed in the application, he had to take care of the children. If he likes Monica, why wouldn’t he marry her? He’s already 38!”
Jessica was at a loss for words. What she says makes perfect sense.
Then, Melinda added. “If they truly liked each other, they would have already gotten together, and I never would have had a chance.”
Again, Jessica struggled to find the right words. I can’t argue that what she says is wrong, though. “So, what happened to your face?” She stared at the bruises as pain pierced her heart. “There’s also your mouth. Not even your concealer could hide the bruise from me.”
“Is it that obvious?” Melinda inquired anxiously, knowing that Stanley would return home the following day.
“Tell me!” Jessica barked out in panic. “How did this happen? Is he involved? Who bullied you? Tell me, tell me! I’ll kill them!”
