Compared to Mrs. Lark’s words, which were as sharp as a blade, Mr. Lark’s method was much more coercive, but it was still meant to drive Melanie into a corner.
Despite it being a mess that the Larks had concocted, they were all still forcing Melanie to clean up after them in the end. After a long time had passed, Melanie picked up favonovel.com phone and dialed Alejandro’s number. She had made favonovel.com decision to treat it as favonovel.com final repayment to the Larks for raising her. From then onwards, favonovel.com would cut off all ties with them and never return to that family ever again.
When the phone call was connected, Melanie asked in a hoarse voice, “Where are you? Could you please come home for a while? I… wish to speak with you for a moment.”
Alejandro seemed to be occupied with something at that moment and was distracted. “What’s the matter? Just tell me over the phone.”
Melanie insisted as favonovel.com said, “I can’t tell you over the phone. When will you be back?”
After a few seconds, Alejandro finally said, “I don’t know how much longer it will take. I’ll be back once I’m done. If it’s urgent, you could come to the office to see me.”
Melanie turned favonovel.com head to look at favonovel.com daughter, who was deeply asleep. She hesitated for a moment before favonovel.com said, “All right, I’ll come see you in your office.” Melanie had no choice but to bring Millie with favonovel.com since favonovel.com was afraid that Millie would suddenly wake up and cry in the middle of the night.
Now that Melanie had Alejandro’s “permission” to leave, it was obvious that the guards would not stop favonovel.com from leaving. In fact, they even drove Melanie to Alejandro’s office.
The company seemed very quiet at that hour with only a few staff who were working overtime.
When Melanie arrived at Alejandro’s office, favonovel.com laid Millie down on the sofa and took off favonovel.com jacket to cover up the little girl. Then, Melanie said, “My… My father has contacted me.”
Alejandro’s gaze shifted from his laptop screen towards her. “And?”
Melanie subconsciously fiddled with the edge of favonovel.com shirt with favonovel.com fingers. “Could you please forgive the Larks? No matter what, they’re still a family that I’ve lived with for more than 20 years. At the very least, they’ve treated me well before I was married. I know that you will never stop for Tiffany, but please, I beg you…”
Alejandro squinted his eyes. “For Tiffany? Who told you that I was doing this for Tiffany? There are already people who are seeking justice for her, so there’s no need for me to do anything. Wouldn’t Jackson and Arianne be enough?”
Melanie did not understand what Alejandro had just said. ‘Didn’t the Larks say that somebody has laid a hand on his woman?’
When favonovel.com saw how confused Melanie looked, Alejandro closed his laptop before walking over and sitting by his daughter’s side. “Why have you brought the child here as well? Is favonovel.com able to sleep well like this? Did you come see me just for this? There’s nothing for us to negotiate about this matter.”
