There were only two people left in the bedroom quietly. Jonas wanted to catch up with Melinda and
explain, but was stopped by Vern.
Seeing that Melinda was so sad, Vern blamed himself.
It was his fault that Melinda felt uncomfortable.
"Jonas, you're a good boy and you've always been excellent. When my father said he wanted to marry
Melinda to you, I thought she must be lucky,"
Vern sighed with emotion. His family was just civilian, and he had a career, but that was to make his
family a little rich, which was not able to compare with Gu's family.
At that time, he wondered what irritated Leonard so that he could have such an impossible idea.
When what he thought came true, Jonas's indifferent attitude towards Melinda made him believe that
everything was true. Since then, he had been worried that Melinda might have a hard time in the Gu
family.
Melinda had always been keeping worries from them and only telling them good news. So many years
had passed, but he still knew nothing about the marriage.
"I'm so lucky to have met Linda."
Jonas always knew that the marriage was unequal in many people's view, but he didn't expect that
even Vern thought so.
What kind of pressure did Linda come under when she stayed with him?
"Don't beat around the bush. I only have one question to ask. I hope you can give me a serious
answer."
Vern's eyes became serious, instead of the kind and pleasant look he had had in front of Jonas before.
Jonas could not help but straighten his back.
"Is it because of Emily that you divorced from Mellie?"
If Jonas loved someone else, he would never let his daughter suffer this.
"Yes. But it's not because I like Emily, but because Linda's afraid that she might get hurt because of
Emily." Hearing this, Vern looked pale. Jonas explained more clearly, and then Vern's expression
became better.
"Dad, you and I can swear that I will only love Linda in my whole life. I don't love Emily at all. It's just a
mistake."
Afraid that Vern might retort him and take the side of Melinda, Jonas said hurriedly.
"Everyone can say sweet words." Vern hummed coldly and included himself.
"Dad, please trust me. I'll definitely woo Linda again and let her be willing to remarry me." Jonas had
always been a calm person, and now he was even more firm in making a promise in front of Vern.
At the thought of Melinda, Jonas didn't know whether he should laugh or cry. Melinda didn't know how
much her father cared about her, though she couldn't see.
"I trust you, son. I just hope that she could think it through as soon as possible," Vern said with a sigh.
Although Melinda looked peaceful, she was very stubborn in her bones.
"Dad, don't worry. I won't let you down."
Hearing that, Vern felt relieved finally, but he still warned him in a harsh voice. "If you make Mellie hurt,
I will never let you go so easily."
"I will spoil her."
The two men looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"She's a stubborn girl. I don't think it's easy for you to please her. Just go." Vern felt relieved a lot after
he got the promise of Jonas.
Jonas was about to go after her just now, but Vern stopped him.
"Take care of yourself and call us if you feel uncomfortable," said Jonas. He didn't stay long, because
he was worried about Melinda's safety.
At the same time, in Emily's apartment, after being cleaned up, Jerry finally looked human.
"Those we hate are different. Are you sure we can cooperate?" Jerry did not forget that last time when
they cooperated with each other, Emily had private interest in Jonas, which interrupted his long
prepared plan and ended up in such a bad situation.
"People we hate are not the same, but we have the same goal," Emily said confidently. She took a
bottle of red wine from her wine cabinet and mixed it with wine.
Jerry looked at Emily in confusion, wondering what she meant.
"Isn't Melinda Jonas's favorite person now? If something bad happens to Melinda, he will be the one
who suffers more, right?"
Emily swirled the red wine in her glass with a cruel smile on the corner of her mouth. If Jerry could turn
his target to Melinda, that would be the best ending.
Jerry squinted and thought carefully about the meaning of Emily's words. He thought it was very
reasonable and asked, "Have you thought about how to deal with Melinda?"
"Jonas is protecting her very well. I can't find a way out for the time being." As Emily spoke, she raised
the goblet and drank up the wine in it one gulp. She knew that she couldn't revenge immediately, which
made Jerry a little depressed. Thus, he drank up the wine in front of him.
Both of them were depressed. They had partners and goals, but they could do nothing.
"When can I take my revenge?" Jerry said. There was a rage in his chest. The anger accumulated as
he did not burst out.
Before Emily could say anything, the doorbell rang. She wondered who it was for no one had come to
the apartment since the accident.
"Your lover is looking for you now?" Jerry teased. There was some change in his eyes. Emily had been
getting along with these kinds of men over the years, so how could she not understand the meaning of
it?
"Stop looking at me with your disgusting eyes,"
she said, then put down the glass in her hand, and walked towards the door with a swaying waist.
The figure was standing at the door of Emily, dressed in black tight clothes, which outlined her hot
figure. Her delicate features and flaming red lips made her a special coquettish beauty at midnight.
Emily was wearing pink household clothes, which made her look listless.
"What are you doing here?"
The person in front of her was just Holley. Emily's eyes had changed with a kind of hatred and a bit of
envy.
Now she was even worse than a small model.
"I'm here to help you two, of course." Holley then made her way into the room. She greeted Jerry in a
flirtatious way. "Wow, it's been a long time since the last time I saw this handsome guy."
"This is my house. Please go out."
Emily came to the living room in a bad mood. She was more disdainful to see Holley was seducing
Jerry.
How could such a person compare with her?
"Why are you so irritable? If you want to deal with Melinda, I can help you. Why don't you sit down and
have a chat?" Holley was at ease. Sitting on the sofa, she picked out a glass from the mini bar counter
as she saw them drinking together.
"Would you like to have a drink with me?"
Holley raised the glass in her hand and shook it. Emily rushed forward to grab the glass. She wanted to
pour it on Holley.
"Hey, be gentle." Seeing this, Jerry did not ignore it. Just now, Holley said she could help them deal
with Melinda.
He and Emily could not think of a way. If the person in front of them really had a way, that would be a
good thing.
"Jerry, what do you mean?!"
Emily looked at him with anger. Jerry looked at her and shrugged. Then he took his position, quietly
watching the battle between the two women.
"Huh." A light smile appeared on Holley's face. She took a sip of the wine and said casually, "Do you
really refuse to consider it?"
"I have nothing to do with you," Emily said. Her disdain for Holley had existed at any time no matter
which situation she was in.
"Tell me your plan." Jerry didn't have much issues with Holley, as long as she could deal with Jonas.
"It's easy for me to help you, but there is only one premise, that is, after Melinda leaves, Emily can't
badger with Jonas."
Holley had never given up on Jonas. She had paid attention to these news, so it was a good chance for
her. But she could not do anything, so she thought of Emily.
"Don't even think about it!"
Emily said. She would never agree on this condition to make a wedding dress for Holley. She was not
such a great person.
"So you mean you won't agree?"
"Right. No way!"
"It seems that there is nothing to talk about." Holley put the glass on the table, stood up and wiped her
lips. She was going to leave at ease just like when she came in at ease.
"Miss Huang, wait!" Seeing that Holley was about to leave, Jerry quickly grabbed her.
Holley was very thin, and the body covered under the clothes was like a bone. For a moment, Jerry felt
that what he was grabbing was not her arm, but a skeleton. It was very frightening.
He withdrew his hand in an instant. With a sneer, Holley swung her arm and didn't look at Jerry at all.
"Anything else?" Holley had already walked to the door. Seeing that Jerry was chasing after her, she
felt a burst of joy in her heart.
But she appeared to be calm and even indifferent.
"Emily agrees," Jerry said sincerely, with his eyes full of schemes.
Holley was a little surprised. Emily changed her mind in such a short time. Anyway, she did not look like
a person like this. Holley's inquiring eyes fell on Jerry.
"Well, she regretted as soon as you left. As long as she can deal with Melinda, she will agree to all the
requirements,"
said Jerry with a straight face. It was completely hard to tell that it was all his own decision.
"She was firm just now," Holley said in a sarcastic tone. After making a lot of excuses for Emily, Jerry
finally came to the point. "Can you tell me how to deal with Jonas?"
Jerry's eyes were full of expectations, and he was eager to know what kind of method Holley had to
use to deal with Jonas.
The man's life was so perfect that he wanted to destroy it. At this time, Jerry's hatred was not hidden at
all. Seeing this, Holley smiled with satisfaction in her heart.
She had investigated Jerry and knew that he would be a good chess piece.
She could use the person who was full of hatred easily, but Emily could counterattack at any time,
which was frightening.
