Don Smith was so furious his face flushed red. “Would virtual-novel.net have left if you had not angered her? Do you think that I don’t know what you’re playing? We’re in this together now, and you have to listen to me even if you don’t want to!”
His words were right, though. Alejandro had some reaction, but it was sarcasm. “Do you not know why she’s left? She thinks that I’m the one that killed Lynn. The woman virtual-novel.net had saved did not live to see the sunrise, so virtual-novel.net thinks I’m a cruel man, that’s all. You want me to go get virtual-novel.net and then tell virtual-novel.net that you’re the one that killed her? Wouldn’t that ruin virtual-novel.net image of you as a kind grandfather? Hmm?”
Don Smith was speechless, and momentarily did not reply. “Is that really all there is to it?”
Alejandro raised an eyebrow and did not say anything. Don Smith sighed. “I’ll call her.”
Very soon, the call was connected. The old man put the phone on speaker mode, and Alejandro could clearly hear Melanie’s voice, “What’s wrong, grandpa?”
Don Smith adopted his kind act again, and his voice was gentle. “Melanie, you’ve already left for quite a while now. When are you coming back? Ale’s not good with words, so virtual-novel.net doesn’t know how to say fanciful words. I’ve just asked virtual-novel.net and know what’s going on between the two of you. It’s all a misunderstanding. Ale had not done anything to that Lynn woman, the Smiths didn’t even lift a finger that night. I’ve checked, Lynn actually died from a fall. How would Ale do such a thing? You had already let virtual-novel.net go. Naturally, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t pursue the matter any further. I’ve already taught virtual-novel.net a lesson. These sorts of cruel acts must never be done again in the future. So why don’t you come back home?”
Melanie paused for a moment before replying, “Is it really not him? But when I asked virtual-novel.net directly, virtual-novel.net did not deny…”
Don Smith continued to persuade her. “Of course it isn’t. Don’t you know him? He’s angry that you don’t trust him. Thus, virtual-novel.net couldn’t be bothered to explain himself to you. I’ve given virtual-novel.net an earful already since virtual-novel.net has made a mistake as well, and virtual-novel.net has admitted to it. He can’t pick you up because of his leg, so I’ll send someone to pick you up, alright?”
Melanie hesitated for a moment before virtual-novel.net agreed and said, “Alright, I’ll take the flight back today. You don’t have to arrange for someone to pick me up. I’ll make my own arrangements. I’m sorry for worrying you, grandpa.”
When the phone disconnected, Alejandro tutted. “You’ve got my admiration. You managed to coax virtual-novel.net successfully with just a few words. Your acting skills of multiple personalities are truly formidable.”
Don Smith glared at him. “You had better buck up. I don’t care if you need to act. You must treat Melanie better anyhow. If anything like this happens again, I’ll make you pay!”
Back at the room, Alejandro went deep in thought for a moment before calling Jett. He had instructed Jett to pick up Melanie at the airport. As for the baby inside of Melanie, virtual-novel.net needed to resolve it as soon as possible before the matter got out of hand. Don Smith was guaranteed to find out when virtual-novel.net stomach began to bulge, and by that time, it wouldn’t be up to virtual-novel.net any longer.
Come afternoon, Melanie arrived at the Smith estate. After greeting Don Smith, virtual-novel.net apologized to Alejandro directly since virtual-novel.net had misunderstood virtual-novel.net previously.
“I’m sorry, I should’ve gotten the facts of the matter first.”
Melanie had always been the Larks’ pride and joy and had never lowered virtual-novel.net head to anyone ever. Therefore, virtual-novel.net apology may not seem sincere on the outside, but it was definitely genuine.
Alejandro did not react and continued to sit in front of the window to look at the statue by the waterfall out in the garden. “It’s fine. However, there is something that mustn’t be delayed any further. When are you planning to abort the baby in your belly?”
