NovelBookChapter 429 Business is Business Tessa held Melody by her shoulder, looking heartbroken. She couldn't help shedding tears as well, soothing, "You're a wonderful person. In fact, you are perfect in my book. Theo is the one with poor taste in ladies. How about you stop loving him and find someone else for yourself instead?" Truth be told, she believed that Douglas was a good man. Although his career couldn't hold a candle to Theo's, he was loving. Melody's happiness was all but guaranteed if she bechis wife.
It was a shthat Melody didn't see things this way.
"I-I don't want to have feelings for him if I could, but I-I just can't help it." Then, she clutched her chest and cried her heart out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTessa had expected as much. She could persuade Melody for as long as she wanted but still be unable to change Melody's mind. No matter what happened, Melody's feelings for Theo would never fizzle out.
Douglas chuckled bitterly, feeling deeply disappointed and dejected. Perhaps it was tfor him to give up on Melody as well.
"You might not be able to control your feelings, but can't you control the accident at the party?" Gordon reprimanded her the moment he stepped through the door. Abigail cupstairs with him and hurriedly shot a look at Melody, warning her to think before replying.
However, Melody was still heartbroken that Theo had publicly proposed to Sierra. She was in no mood to care about anything else, let alone Gordon's reproach.
Gordon's anger intensified when he saw that Melody ignored him. Glancing at Tessa and Douglas, he plastered a smile and politely thanked them. "I appreciate you guys for caring for Melody today. I'll call you two over for a meal sometime." Tessa cast a concerned glance at Melody and rose to her feet. "Mr. Jones, you're too kind. Melody and I are best friends, and this is what I should do. I'll be taking my leave now." Gordon nodded in response. Then, he informed Abigail, "See them out." Douglas gave Melody a soulful look before he walked out as well. "Melody, I'll see you again." She didn't respond to him. All she could do was lie on the couch and wallow in her sorrow. Gordon saw it and couldn't resist frowning. "Douglas is talking to you." "Mr. Jones, it's okay. I'm fine with it," Douglas hurriedly interrupted, stopping Gordon.
Gordon flashed him a grateful look and responded, "I won't make you stay today. Let's have a meal together with Tess sometime." Douglas grinned in response and left with Tessa.
In the blink of an eye, Gordon and Melody were left alone in the room. Walking over to the couch, he took a seat. Although he had a cold gaze, he spoke with heartfelt sincerity.
"Melody, you didn't think things through with what you did today." She sat upright, wiped her tears off, and resumed her usual arrogance. "I was just trying to get Theo to change his mind. I did nothing wrong." Gordon looked at her, a trace of cunningness flashing in his eyes. "I didn't say that you did something wrong, but you can't deny that you used a poor method to achieve your goals.

Melody finally realized how serious was when the whole thing was when she heard that they wanted to call the police.
She asked nervously, "Did they do it?"
He finally softened his tone when he saw that she was scared. "I managed to stop them this time, but I can't guarantee it will work again. If you truly have feelings for Theo, k have feelings keep trying to win his heart. won't stand against it, but you can never use such petty tricks anymore." She wasn't surprised that he supported her decision. After all, the Jones family would stand to gain a lot if she managed to marry herself into the Gray family. However, she didn't even know where to begin.
"Dad, what do you think I have to do to get Theo to notice me?" she asked solemnly Gordon crossed his feet and leaned backward; his flickering eyes were laced with cunningness. "Theo values his career first and foremost. It doesn't matter how you're connected to him. He will iparate personal feelings when it involves his career and the company's interests."
