The arrogant Emily was just like a clown in the corner now, making people laugh.
Emily's face grew paler, and her eyes were almost like knife filled as she looked at Melinda.
She also had no idea why Jonas held the party, or it could be said that she was not qualified to come
here at all. It took her a lot of effort to get the invitation.
Jonas stood tall and clear in the royal blue suit, which made him look mysterious and dignified. And
Melinda, who stood beside him, was petite.
When they stood together, people felt that they were well matched.
Melinda had a gentle appearance. When she stood beside the cold Jonas, she seemed to soften him a
little bit.
Their clasped hands seemed to be whispering something.
The audience were all worldly wise, and many of them knew the identity of Melinda as Jonas's ex-wife,
but standing here now made them feel that she was not simple.
"First, thank you for coming to this party." Jonas held the microphone and looked around. The invisible
pressure soon spread to everyone's heart.
He was just the center of attention. As soon as he appeared, he drew many people's attention. He was
the center of attention, and the eyes of Melinda were filled with infatuation with him.
'This is the man I love. I feel stressed to stand beside him. It seems that I'm not excellent enough to
stand beside him.'
"I believe that many people are curious about why I held this party tonight." When Jonas said it again,
he unexpectedly turned to look at Melinda and showed a comforting smile at the corners of his mouth.
Many people under the stage felt choked. The public display of affection was so shocking. Was it real
when Jonas was so gentle?
Was the man on the stage the real Jonas?
"I don't want to keep you in suspense. Linda is a novelist, and her novel has been paid attention to by
Director Elmer and he is going to turn it into a TV play. That's why I invite you all to celebrate it."
Hearing this, people burst into an uproar. It turned out that this was the purpose of the party, and it was
only a simple celebration for Melinda.
Elmer was surrounded by a lot of people who couldn't wait to get the first-hand news.
"I hope all of you can support the TV play when it is on. Help yourself now," said Jonas, with his hands
holding Melinda's all the time.
Though Melinda did not say a word, everyone knew that this woman was now held in the palm of the
hands of Jonas and they wanted to flatter her.
Thinking of Melinda's status in the Gu family and how she had been bullied, everyone sighed, 'The
world is inconstant.'
Without further ado, Jonas turned off the microphone and gave it to a waiter aside. He took the hand of
Melinda and went off the stage. There was music on the spot and many people went to the dance floor
to dance.
As soon as he appeared, a lot of people surrounded him. Worried that Melinda did not like this kind of
occasion, Jonas gestured to them. He lowered his head and said to Melinda, "Do you want to find a
place to have a rest?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry. This is your place."
Melinda winked her eyes, which made Jonas smile. He wanted to touch her hair but found it out
depressingly that her hair had been done today. He couldn't ruin it.
His hand finally fell on Melinda's cheek. He pinched it slightly, but he was not even willing to use too
much strength.
"Okay. Be careful and go back to rest if you feel uncomfortable. This is also your place," said Jonas.
Then Melinda smiled to the group of people waiting for him, turned around and walked outside.
There were so many people in the room, and the air was not very good. There was also a strong smell
of alcohol, which made Melinda feel uncomfortable.
The Gu's mansion was located in a relatively remote location. As it was at night, there were still some
stars in the night sky. Melinda looked up at the sky, and smiled when she thought of all things that
Jonas had done.
Melinda didn't eat much that night. There was a special meal in the kitchen for her, which made her
want to eat.
She took a small plate with dessert, the red evening dress was very eye-catching.
Not far away, Emily was looking at her with jealousy. All that happened today should belong to her.
Just now, she also heard what Jonas said by the side, and she did not expect that Melinda would also
come to the entertainment circle one day.
This was her circle.
While thinking of this, Emily moved closer to Melinda unconsciously. There were only two persons who
were dressed so wildly tonight, one was Melinda and the other was Emily.
When she approached, many people gathered around to watch.
"Melinda." Emily approached her and shouted in an arrogant tone, but her jealousy could not be
hidden. The dress that Melinda was wearing were hand-made by a famous foreign designer. Even in
the peak of her career, Emily could not obtain one.
Just as Melinda was picking some food, a shout came from behind and she recognized the voice.
The gentleness on her face disappeared in an instant. When she turned to look at Emily, there was a
sneer on her lips.
Melinda was taller than Emily. However, she wore flat shoes because of her pregnancy, which could
not be noticed by careful people. While Emily wore high heels. At this moment, she looked at Melinda
from a disdainful sight.
"What's up?" After such a long time, she and Jonas gradually settled down, but Emily was always a
shadow in her heart, and as soon as she appeared, nothing good would happen.
"It's a good chance for the old friends to catch up, isn't it?" Emily had an evil and charming smile on the
corner of her mouth and a cold look in her beautiful eyes. Melinda frowned and stepped back.
However, she touched the table behind her.
She froze and then stood aside.
"The smell of your perfume makes me want to vomit. Stay away from me, please." Melinda's words
were from the bottom of her heart. She didn't say that because she was Emily, but because of the
strong scent of Emily's perfume.
She hadn't vomited for a long time, and she didn't miss this feeling at all.
Emily's face suddenly grew dark. Melinda was simply too arrogant.
"Linda, even if you hate me, you can't do this to me. You're really heartbreaking," said Emily, wiping
away the tears that did not even exist in the corner of her eyes.
Seeing them standing together, many people couldn't help glancing at them.
Melinda didn't want to talk to Emily at all. Seeing that Emily began to feel wronged, she could not help
standing a little further.
Emily used such technique often and committed some unwarranted charges on her.
"Since you know you are annoying, then don't appear in front of me. I'm curious how you came in
tonight,"
Melinda said as she looked at Emily with cold eyes. She believed that Jonas was not silly enough to
give the invitation to Emily. Would he want to create conflict between them?
Emily's face was frozen, and then she said confidently, "It was Jonas who invited me here."
She could not show her embarrassment in front of Melinda.
"Oh, really? I told Jonas not to irritate you. Why didn't he listen?" Melinda said, pretending to be
annoyed. Everybody could say these words.
Hearing that, Emily's face darkened.
No matter what Melinda said was true or not, she still felt very uncomfortable.
"I heard that your novel will be shot into a TV series, right?"
Emily asked, raising her eyebrows. She still couldn't believe that such a good thing had happened to
Melinda.
With a gentle smile, Melinda couldn't help but place her hand on her lower abdomen.
This was what she always did recently no matter what kind of mood she was in.
"If you are not deaf, you should have heard it clearly,"
Melinda said. She was the heroine of tonight's party. This was her place and she had enough
confidence, so she didn't need to be afraid of Emily.
The corner of Emily's mouth was going to twist because of anger. Melinda was getting more and more
difficult to deal with.
"Congratulations!" Emily said hypocritically. Melinda accepted it calmly, but her hand could not help but
put on her nose.
Emily just calmed down, and now she was irritated again. She couldn't help thinking of what Melinda
had said in the beginning.
"Thank you." No matter what had happened, Melinda couldn't lose her manners.
Although Emily was smiling now, she must be extremely angry in her heart. When her life was about to
fall into a valley, Melinda was on a higher position.
"Although I don't like you very much, I'm still interested in the leading role of the TV play,"
Emily said provocatively. Melinda felt sick when she heard that. It was a great insult to her work to have
Emily to act her role.
At this moment, she was glad that she asked to participate in the making. If someone really chose
Emily, she would be the first one to object.
"Miss Bai, you are so funny." Melinda covered her mouth with a hand and smiled. Then she continued
in a challenging tone, "I heard that you don't even have one work now."
'An actress, who didn't even have one role, wants to take part in the shooting of the TV series? It's a
joke!' she thought.
But she couldn't say it in a direct way. Melinda was very clear that this circle had a lot of dirty deals.
She could see that from the fact that Emily could get into the party.
Emily was irritated and was about to lose her temper. But before she could do it, Jonas walked up to
Melinda and naturally held her hand with one hand.
"Why are you standing here?" He asked gently. His eyes were full of Melinda. Emily was not even as
good as a furnishing.
Seeing the worry on the face of Jonas, Melinda smiled and said, "I'm having a catch-up with my old
friend."
Melinda's words were quite ironic. They would never be friends, and it was better to be enemies.
"Are you finished?" Leaning against Jonas, she asked in a calm voice and looked at Emily indifferently
as if it was a provocation.
