Chapter 310

– Live Broadcast

Errol was very reliable and responsible.

Melody bought a total of 12 houses in Eastern Garden. Besides the one she kept for herself, Errol found a seller of the other 11 houses for her.

The property prices in Eastern Garden were soaring. They had almost stabilized over the past few days, so it was the best time to sell.

Melody had earned 20 million dollars from 11 houses.

She could make use of the money to buy a house for Quentin.

Melody did not delay and went straight to sign the contract.

The 20 million dollars was quickly transferred to her account. She planned to find a house for Quentin after she was done with the gambling. At the same time.

On the other side, after Leo explained to Jennie, they suddenly realized that the whole thing was someone’s plan.

They exchanged a glance and said a name at the same time, “Melody!”

Jennie’s eyelids twitched and she said, “It’s all that girl’s trick. She tried to stop me from looking for Wilmot.”

Leo asked nervously, “Could she have guessed that we went to the hospital to kill Wilmot? She… She wouldn’t call the police, right?”

Jennie found it ridiculous and said patiently, “We didn’t do anything. How can she call the police? Even if she calls the police, she won’t even be able to file a case.”

Leo heaved a sigh of relief, but he had a bad premonition.

“Does she already know that we poisoned Wilmot with ?”

“Nonsense!” Jennie said with a sullen expression, “Go back to the hospital now!”

“Okay!” Leo quickly turned the car around and drove to the hospital.

However, when they arrived at Wilmot’s ward, they were told that Wilmot had already been discharged.

Leo had a bad hunch.

“Where did he go?” he asked quickly, grabbing the nurse’s sleeve.

The nurse pulled her hand away unhappily. “How do we know that?”

“You…”

Leo wanted to ask more, but he was pulled over by Jennie.

“Wilmot must have been hidden by now. Even if we find him, we won’t have the chance to do anything to him. We might as well prepare for tomorrow’s bet.”

The more Jennie spoke, the angrier she became.

Jennie couldn’t believe she lost to Melody, a chit of a girl, twice in a row.

What made her more concerned was that the girl’s acupuncture technique was very similar to Quentin’s.

However, before the malicious doctors’ faction was destroyed, she had killed Quentin with a fatal poison…

Moreover, there had been no news of Quentin in the past few years. He should have died long ago. Reason told Jennie that Melody could not have anything to do with Quentin, but she still vaguely felt a sense of danger.

If Quentin was alive, it would be a fatal blow to her plan to revive the malicious doctors’ faction.

Jennie thought she must investigate Melody’s background when the bet was over.

The more Jennie thought about it, the more frustrated she became. She reached out and hammered the elevator door hard, cursing, “Damn it.”

The ferocity in her eyes shocked Leo.

Jennie had always been cold and calm in front of him. He had never seen Jennie like this.

However, Leo did not think too much about it. He only thought that Jennie was upset for his benefit. He composed himself and comforted her. “Don’t worry, Jennie. Even if Wilmot has woken up and can attend tomorrow’s bet, it doesn’t matter. Without that instrument, Melody can’t develop and produce a new product in a short period of time. No matter if Wilmot is around or not, Icy Clear Cosmetics will definitely lose!”

Jennie was not as confident as Leo.

She frowned and asked, “What if she makes it?” Leo smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Jessica and I have made plan B. We have bribed the few experts who will be doing the test tomorrow, and one of them is in a position of unchallenged authority. No one will doubt her words.”

“Unchallenged authority? Who?”

“Mrs. Morgan. You just returned to the country not long ago. I don’t think you know her.”

Leo did not elaborate. Jennie did not expect it to be Zoe, Ander’s wife.

She nodded. “That’s good.”

“Oh right…” Leo hesitated and said, “I saw you eating with a girl today. She looks a little like you. She… What’s her relationship with you?”

Jennie’s persona in front of Leo was a single woman. When she heard Leo’s words, her eyelids twitched slightly.

However, she quickly said with a natural expression, “It’s my niece. She’s been staying overseas all this while. She’s coming to Halcyon for vacation these few days.”

Leo scratched his head and said with a smile, “So it’s your niece. No wonder she looks like you. I almost thought she was your daughter… By the way, we haven’t had dinner yet. Do you want to ask her to join us?”

“Leo…” Jennie suddenly said, “I don’t want to be alone tonight. Can you stay with me?”

As soon as she said this, Leo couldn’t care less about Jennie’s niece. He quickly said, “Alright! Let’s go home now. My servants cook well.”

Jennie threw a faint smile at Leo, which turned him on.

He felt hot all over and swallowed hard before calming down a little. He walked downstairs to the inpatient department with Jennie in his arms.

Just as Jennie reached the entrance of the hospital, she suddenly saw a beautiful figure from the corner of her eye.

The girl had a pretty face and a graceful figure, standing out among the crowd.

She recognized the girl at a glance. Her name was Mabel, Melody’s younger sister. She was the Best Celebrity of the last year.

Under her arrangement, Regina had gotten close to Mabel a while ago.

However, what caught Jennie’s attention was that Mabel seemed to have been poisoned by a poison she had developed.

Jennie narrowed her eyes slightly and quickly retracted her gaze. She decided to ask Regina what was going on later.

On the other side, Mabel took the test report and got into her car with an irritated expression.

She went to the hospital for a day of examination but was told that there was nothing wrong with her. But if there was no problem, why was her face so itchy? And why was there more and more hair growing on her face?

After much thought, Mabel contacted a beauty shop and decided to do facial cleaning.

However, after the call, Mabel became even more frustrated.

Wilmot’s beauty salon was the best in Silverlake, but she was still on the blacklist of Wilmot’s beauty salon.

“Damn Melody!”

Mabel clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles cracking. The driver in front was so frightened that he held his breath.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

It was the gambling day between Icy Clear Cosmetics and Silk Beauty Cosmetics.

Melody woke up early in the morning. As soon as she turned on her phone, she saw the news of the bet between the two pharmaceutical companies. The news immediately made the headlines. Countless netizens were waiting to watch the gambling game.

Jessica was confident. It was announced on social media that the whole process would be broadcast continuously.

In an instant, countless netizens subscribed to the live broadcast.

Melody sneered.

‘Live broadcast? Wouldn’t that suit me?’

Melody put down her phone and got up to wash up.

It could be foreseen that there would be a battle today.
