Chapter 16
The next day.
When Melanie went downstairs, she just ran into Estelle and Simon who were about to leave for MR Group.
Melanie wore a red dress today, her long hair was down, her skin was fair, and her figure was perfect. The dress on her looked elegant
and a bit seductive.
Estelle’s eyes fell on Melanie’s dress, looking envious.
This dress was designed by Master Lily.
At that time, Master Lily sent the design sketch of this dress and added the caption:“Bestie exclusive.”
As soon as this post went up, a lot of people were super jealous.
Claimed how they didn’t have a friend as good as Master Lily.
I didn’t expect that this dress, which wasn’t for sale, ended up on Melanie.
As soon as Estelle thought about how Master Lily said Melanie’s clothes were all custom–made for her, she just felt really upset.
How did Melanie get so lucky to be friends with Master Lily?
Also, what kind of taste did Master Lily actually have?
She had such a strong background and was so talented, so why did she want to be friends with someone who was raised by a nightclub hostess?
Simon also noticed the dress on Melanie. His eyes darkened, “I know you’re close with Master Lily, but you didn’t have to show off like
that.”
Her doing that, where did it leave Esty’s face?
Melanie glanced at him and walked right over to him.
Simon instinctively took a step back, “What are you gonna do?”
Melanie snorted, “With guts like that, you still dared to lecture me? Mr. Rasmussen, go work on your courage first, then come talk to
me.”
When she finished talking, she didn’t even spare Simon a glance and just turned around and left.
Simon looked upset, his teeth grinding.
He really did hate Melanie.
If she kept staying at home, she might’ve been pissed to death one day.
He had to figure out a way to get Melanie out of the Rasmussen family.
Estelle was pretty mad too, but she knew it wasn’t the time to be angry. She said to Simon, “Simon, let’s go. The chairman of MR Group is meeting us in person today, don’t waste time.”
Who would’ve thought, just in one night, the assistant to the chairman of MR Group suddenly called and wanted to meet them in
person.

Estelle was so happy when she got the news that she couldn’t sleep all night.

To make a good impression on the chairman of MR Group, she spent the whole night working on countless plans and finally came up
with the one she liked best.
She thought, I’ll definitely make it today.
MR Group.
Estelle and Simon were led all the way to the chairman’s office.
Assistant to the Chairman of MR Group, Davon Swanson, was really arrogant and said, “You wait here.”
Davon left that sentence, turned around and walked away.
Didn’t even get a chance to ask Estelle one more question.
Just like that, Estelle and Simon were left hanging in the chairman’s office.
For two whole hours, they stood there properly.
Estelle was already in ten–centimeter heels, and her legs were getting weak. She was really struggling to stay upright. She said to Simon, “Simon, should we go ask Davon? I can’t stand much longer.”
Simon glanced at Estelle’s high heels and said worriedly, “How about we sit for a while? The chairman of MR Group probably had a last–minute meeting.”
He actually couldn’t really stand steady anymore.
Usually at the company, he hardly walked, and he didn’t get much exercise at home either. Now, after standing for over two hours, he felt a bit dizzy.
But he didn’t dare to ask Davon.
The chance to meet the chairman of MR Group wasn’t easy to get. Nobody knew if the chairman was testing them on purpose, so they
couldn’t ask.
Estelle hesitated for a moment and said, “Then let’s sit for ten minutes. I really can’t stand anymore.”
Estelle knew it wasn’t really okay to sit down before the chairman showed up, but she just couldn’t hold on anymore.
But they had already waited for over two hours, so in these ten minutes, the chairman of MR Group probably wouldn’t show up either.
Simon nodded and let Estelle sit down on the guest chair across from the chairman’s desk.
I had just sat down for less than a minute when the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Estelle got a fright and quickly stood up.
But because she got up too quickly, she accidentally twisted her ankle, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain.
But when she saw who it was, her face changed completely. She couldn’t pretend anymore and cried out, “Melanie, what are you doing
here?”
Simon’s face changed. He shouted angrily, “Who told you to come? Get out of here right now!”
Melanie glanced at him with no expression and sat right across from him, in the chairman’s special seat.
Simon’s eyes went wide, then he got really mad, “Melanie, are you crazy? That’s the MR Group chairman’s private seat. If you want to

get yourself killed, don’t drag us down with you.”

Estelle also said angrily, “Do you even know how hard it was to get this chance to meet the chairman of MR Group? All the hopes of the Rasmussen family were on this project. Melanie, even if you were mad at me, you shouldn’t joke about the fate of the Rasmussen
family!”
Estelle took a deep breath, “The chairman of MR Group is coming soon, so hurry up and get out. Don’t hold us up from doing real
business.”
Melanie leaned lazily against the back of her chair and glanced at them carelessly. Before she could say anything, Simon roared, “Didn’t you hear me tell you to get out? Melanie, if you mess up this deal, I won’t let off!”
you
Melanie crossed her arms and looked at Simon with a half–smile.“So, tell me, how are you not going to let me go?”
Actually, she didn’t have time to mess around with these two minor characters today.
She came to the company today to take back Warren’s shares and end their partnership.
A qualified ex should be like they’re dead, completely gone from the other person’s world.
She was a really decent ex, so since she broke up with Warren, she thought it should be a clean break.
But things between her and Warren weren’t that easy to split up.
MR Group was something she and Warren started together.
She had 70% of the funds, Warren had 30%.
She had 100% decision–making power in the group, and Warren could only follow.
But she and Warren had already broken up, so of course the company shares had to be taken back. That’s why she came here today to
sort this out.
As for working with the Rasmussen family, she had Davon draft the contract last night. She was going to give it to Grandma today, but then she suddenly remembered that Estelle seemed really confident about this plan.
Hmm!
She suddenly felt like playing.
Didn’t Winona care much about Estelle?
Wasn’t she supposed to have raised a bunch of super smart geniuses?
Then she really wanted to see what kind of level the genius Winona talked about was.
“You!” Simon was furious, but he knew he couldn’t do anything to Melanie.
Melanie had her grandma backing her up, and she also had Warren, her fiancé with a powerful background. Even if Melanie really messed up this collaboration, she might not get kicked out of the Rasmussen family.
But he couldn’t gamble.
Dad was already disappointed in him, he needed this partnership to secure his position in the company.
Thinking of this, Simon took a deep breath and said patiently, “Even if I have to beg you, can you just leave first? This chance really mattered to me. I’m begging you, don’t mess it up.“.

Melanie raised an eyebrow, “You sure you wanted me to leave?”
“Yeah! Get out of here!” Simon almost shouted.
He kept staring like crazy at the office door, scared the chairman of MR Group would walk in.
Melanie’s lips curled up a bit, “Fine! I’m leaving!”
Simon didn’t expect Melanie to be so easygoing, and he was a bit stunned.

Melanie had just walked halfway when she suddenly stopped and said, “The Rasmussen family’s eldest son with an IQ of 180 turned out to be an idiot!”
