Chapter 90 Mommy Knows Everything
Stanley had a gentle expression, with a mere smile on his lips. Since he did not take a stance, Melinda did not escalate the situation. She let go of his hand and changed the subject in a relaxed tone. “What were you thinking about alone by the fountain? Why didn’t you chat with the Queen?”
“Having you by my side is enough.” He took her hand and said, “Come, let’s try the cake. The pastry chef tonight is from Findel, and he’s very skilled. He put down his glass of wine as he talked. Ever since he had been drugged seven years ago, he had learned his lesson.
When they arrived at the long dining table, he took a piece of cake for her. “Here, try it.”
“Don’t you want any?” she asked, only realizing then that he could not eat. Under his gaze, she carefully tasted the cake. “It tastes pretty good.”
“Have some more if you like it. Stanley’s eyes were gentle.
The crisis of the design sketch leak in the company was officially resolved. The Queen paid three times the original price to buy those design sketches because they were too good. Everyone at the company breathed a sigh of relief, except for Stanley, for he still had a few mysteries to unravel, namely Melinda’s identity.
When the news came out that the Queen of Brundela had ultimately chosen the work of Melinda and bought them at several times their original price, it sparked a wave of discussions online. Could Mrs. Fox, who helped with poverty alleviation in the village, turn out to be a designer?
Various versions of speculation had emerged. The most widely circulated version was that Stanley had done everything he could to give her his work to prevent the public from talking about his marriage to a country bumpkin.
Jennifer, who was in Repulse Bay, was infuriated when she saw this news. “This is absurd!”
“Mrs. Fox, regardless of anything, the crisis in the company has been resolved. You can sleep well tonight.” Stephanie brought her a cup of tea.novelxo.com fast update
“Stanley is letting this girl steal Monica’s thunder!” Jennifer’s eyes grew colder. “He’s doing this on purpose to go against me.”
“Mrs. Fox-”
“She can design? And even catch the eye of the Queen of Brundela?” Jennifer sneered. “Does she not know her worth? What did she do to make my son so infatuated with her?”
“Don’t be worked up, Mrs. Fox. It’s not good for your body.”
“Since this woman married Stanley, the number of times he has visited me has noticeably decreased!”
That night, in a brightly lit mansion at Emerald Harbor, Melinda, dressed in comfortable home clothes, entered the children’s room with a serious expression before shutting the door.
Samuel and Pamela stood before her, looking like two children who had done something wrong. The silence in the room made their heads buzz.
“Did you two have anything to do with the leak of the design sketches?” Melinda questioned sternly. “Tell me the truth.”
As expected. Mommy knows everything. Samuel had no choice but to nod, but he was also aggrieved. “Even Daddy didn’t ask me Why are you asking me? And you seem very angry. You should be happy that you’ve gained the recognition of the Queen of Brundela. No one would dare say you’re not worthy of Daddy anymore.”
Outside the door, Stanley withdrew his hand from knocking and stopped in his tracks.
“Did you know these sketches almost ended up in the trash?” Melinda’s gaze was sharp. “You didn’t discuss it with me and acted rashly. That’s taking a risk! You’re risking your Daddy’s company!”
Hearing that. Stanley furrowed his brows lightly.
“If I had discussed it with you, you would never have agreed. Samuel had his reasons.
Meanwhile, Pamela lowered her head. “Don’t blame Samuel, Mommy. He did it for you.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Do you still not realize you’re in the wrong? You still have the nerve to justify it?” Melinda glared at them coldly. “Samuel, if it weren’t for me cleaning up behind you, I wouldn’t even bother with the Fox Group’s business. Do you not know that the more I expose myself, the more he’ll get triggered by me? You think you’re doing this for me?”
“But he’s Daddy. We said we would face hardships together.” Samuel was being stubborn.
This hardship was caused by you!” Melinda pointed at him, warning him. “Listen to me. If there’s a next time, I’ll disown you.”
Outside the door, Stanley’s face suddenly darkened, and he turned and left. Back in his room, he opened the liquor cabinet and took out two highball glasses and a bottle of red wine. As he poured two glasses of wine, he recalled Melinda’s conversation with the children. Designer Emma, the Herbs Expert, Chloe Blackwood… She is a treasure. How can she be so low-key? It’s no wonder she raised the kids so well.
When Melinda entered the room, she smelled alcohol and saw him by the window. “To express my gratitude, I plan to take you out on a date tomorrow,” he said, holding up his glass as he turned around.
