Chapter 62
Melanie looked at Darrin and saw him staring at Roderick with a wary look.
Melanie said, “Don’t you have an emergency to report to me? Why are you not waiting for me in th
study?”
Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson, he…”
Darrin blinked and then stopped talking!
Roderick glanced at Darrin coldly and then immediately turned to Melanie and said gently, “Mela, is it about the Robertson family? Why don’t you talk about it here?”
Melanie said, “Well, I’m afraid that’s not proper.”
Melanie didn’t know what Darrin had found yet..
Although Roderick was the father of her kids, she didn’t want him to know everything.
After the matter with the Robertson family was handled, Melanie would disappear from Zerivia as she did in Solustria seven years ago. She would never come back or see Roderick again.
Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson, I’ll be waiting for you in the study!”
Darrin gave Roderick a provocative glance and left.
Seeing the grievance glistening in Roderick’s eyes, Melanie comforted him, which even surprised herself, “Don’t worry. These things about the Robertson family have nothing to do with Ethan and Elias. They will be all right!”
Roderick called, “Mela!”
Melanie said, “Okay, go to bed now. You caused so much trouble tonight that I haven’t had a chance to sleep!”
Melanie turned around and walked toward the study.
Roderick remained motionless on the sofa.
He looked at Melanie’s back and frowned slightly.

He balled his slender fingers into fists, showing his complicated emotions.
After a long time, Roderick sighed slightly.
For the first time in his life, Roderick felt a sense of powerlessness and anxiety, sitting on the sofa in Harbour Villa.
For the first time in his life, he thought the most difficult thing in the world was to make Melanie love him.
The man in black who stood beside Roderick leaned over to him. “Sir, about that man named Darrin, do you want us to…”
Roderick waved his hand. “No need.”
Tonight, in front of Roderick, Melanie defended Darrin several times.
If Roderick asked someone to kill Darrin now, Melanie would never forgive him.
The other man in black whispered to Roderick, “Sir, Darrin dares to have a crush. on Ms. Robertson. You can’t let him get away with it easily!”
“No,” Roderick snorted coldly. “Let him live a few more days!”
The men in black answered, “Yes, sir.”
Roderick snorted in his mind, ‘As the scion of the Lambert family, I don’t believe that I will lose to a notorious killer.
‘Why doesn’t Mela allow me to protect her if she allows such a killer to stay around
her?
‘After all, I am the biological father of her three kids.
Soon, Roderick smiled.
Roderick knew that everything in this world had two sides.
He thought no matter how bad a situation he was under, he would win in the end. with careful planning.
He thought the existence of Darrin might be a chance for him to live with Melanie in Harbour Villa!
Roderick leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes with satisfaction.
Roderick needed to think carefully about it.
Roderick thought Melanie was kind but sly, indifferent but sentimental. He wondered how he could take advantage of it.
He wanted to make a plan to hug her!

Roderick thought silently and listened carefully sound from the study with his ears pricking up.
At that moment, it was as bright as daytime in the study. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Melanie was sitting upright behind her desk and glanced at Darrin, who was standing.
Melanie said, “Have a seat. What urgent things did you find on your trip to Eistar?”
Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson, all the things that I found are here!”
Darrin handed a small notebook to Melanie.
Hearing this, Melanie frowned.
Melanie thought, ‘I knew there was something fishy.
‘Darrin has already written down all the important information! Then why didn’t he just give it to me?
‘Why come into the study? Why make it so mysterious?‘
Thinking about this, Melanie didn’t say a single word but took the notebook.
The atmosphere in the study soured for a brief moment. Looking at what was in this notebook, Melanie was taken aback.
Melanie was surprised that Steve was so bold!
Melanie didn’t believe that Steve, an insignificant businessman involved in art. museums, was so powerful and dared to do such a bold thing.
She wondered, ‘Who’s behind Steve? Could it be Owen?”
Melanie suppressed her anger and looked at Darrin. “Are you sure it’s true?”
Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson, although it hasn’t been confirmed yet. I’m pretty sure it’s true! In the past years, Steve has been engaged in counterfeiting and selling cultural relics under the guise of Steve’s Art Gallery!”
Melanie asked somewhat anxiously, “When did it start? Does my mom know about this?”
Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson, I am pretty sure that Steve had been doing this before he met your mother!”
Melanie said, “So, he deliberately approached my mom back then. Maybe he was involved with my mom’s death!”
Melanie stood up in excitement.
Hearing this, Darrin fell silent for a moment.
After a short while, Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson, the details still need to be further confirmed!”
Melanie was reminded of something hearing Darrin’s words.
She was stunned for a moment.
What was the truth of what happened back then?
So many years had passed since Melanie’s mother’s death, let alone what happened. when Melanie’s mother and Steve met each other decades ago.
Where to start the investigation?
Melanie thought about this question in a daze.
Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson, in fact, it’s easy to avenge your mother’s death!”
Melanie was taken aback by Darrin’s words.
She looked up and saw a fierce look on Darrin’s face.
She said blankly, “Easy? Why?”
Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson, there is no doubt that Steve must be involved with
your mother’s death.
“As long as you want it, I can kill Steve and his family tonight!”
Melanie was amazed. “Kill him?
“Do you think that revenge means death? Do you think I just want Steve to die?
Darrin said, “Steve deserves to be dead. If I kill him, you can go back to the island. with your kids and never have to get involved with people and things in Zerivial again. Isn’t it a good idea?”
Melanie stared blankly at Darrin. “What? You…”
She had known Darrin for seven years but she had never seen him like this before!
Darrin never looked at her so boldly, let alone put forward this bold idea.
What Darrin just said made Melanie nervous.
She gave up her quiet life on the island and came all the way to Zerivia to take her revenge. Was Steve’s life all that she wanted?
No, absolutely no!
