HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 228: Don't Go There

“What? Aurora became the legal person of the company?” Melody, who was talking on the phone, asked in shock, and her face turned pale, “Did Tim go to the company?” “Yes,” the man on the other end of the line said. “Is Mr. Mysterious really Tim?” “It should be him. And he wanted to repay the debt to Estelle. The amount of the debt is more than ten million dollars! There are few people so rich and generous in Hadale. If Mr. Mysterious was not Tim, who else could it be?” Gritting her teeth, Melody said, “So, Tim helped Estelle solve the problem?” “No, Estelle refused his help.” “Is she out of her mind?!” Melody exclaimed in utter disbelief. “I can’t say for certain what happened. While they were in the meeting room, I could only observe from a distance and couldn’t hear their conversation clearly.” “Then why was the legal person of the company changed?” Melody hurriedly interrupted him and asked. “Did Estelle cajole York into changing the legal person? Or did she take advantage of her relationship with Tim and force York to do that?” “No. Mr. Grantham took several people to control Estelle. He went to the hospital and forced Aurora to sign the agreement on changing the legal person. Now... maybe the relevant formalities have been completed, and Aurora has become the legal person.” “Is York crazy? It took him a lot of effort to get the company. Why did he do such a thing? Where is he now? I’m going to see him!” “Mr. Grantham has gone abroad. His flight left an hour ago.” Melody was speechless. “How did things become like this?” “I have a guess...” “Say it quickly!” “The amount of debt is large. If it can’t be paid back in time, the company’s legal person will likely be sued and face imprisonment. I guess that Mr. Grantham can’t repay the debt and doesn’t want to go to jail, so he made Aurora a scapegoat.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing this, Melody regained her composure. Then she started thinking. ‘If that’s the case, it is not a bad thing to change the company’s legal person.’ ‘Aurora is not in good health. If she went to jail, she would probably die soon.’ ‘As for Estelle, she is a divorced woman with two children. The Roberts family may not allow her to marry Tim.’ ‘I just need to drive a wedge between Tim and Estelle, just like what I did to Cristofer and her before.’ ‘Once Tim breaks up with her, she will have no one backing her up. And then I’ll have a chance to get back to the company again.’ “Mrs. Grantham, what should we do now?” “You just need to work as usual in the company and keep me in the loop if anything happens.” “Okay.” At this time, Gretchen went downstairs. “Mom, Tim didn’t pay the money for Estelle, right?” she inquired immediately. “No. But I feel that there is something wrong about it,” Melody said, her face darkening. Hearing this, Gretchen said happily, “As long as Tim doesn’t provide financial support for Estelle, she won’t be able to solve the company’s cash problem. Then York won’t allow her to work in the company. That’s just what we want, isn’t it?” “But Aurora has become the legal person of the company!” Melody said and glared at Gretchen, exasperated at her stupidity. **** It was almost eight o’clock at night when the meeting was over. When Estelle left the company, she looked up at the starry sky and sighed. York’s influence on the company was much more serious than she had expected. It was not until today that she knew that York had dismissed many experienced staff members who had worked for her father for various reasons. Currently, most of the employees in the company were newly recruited by York these years. York was a good-for-nothing, and the employees he had hired at high salaries were all incompetent

like him. With these people working in the company, it was not strange that the company went downhill. And if the Hudson Group and the Hans Group hadn’t merged into a big listed company, they would have gone bankrupt three years ago under York’s management. ‘You are off duty? I’m waiting for you at the cafe on the south side of the company.’ After receiving the message from Mr. Mysterious, Estelle walked quickly to the cafe. She was familiar with that cafe. It was a small cafe, but the coffee there tasted good. In her student days, Cristofer often brought Estelle to this café as final exams approached, offering guidance while they enjoyed a cup of coffee together. It was a routine that helped Estelle stay refreshed and focused. As Estelle reached the café, she noticed Mr. Mysterious standing beneath a street lamp just outside. The light cast a long shadow of him onto the ground. Leaning against the lamppost, lost in contemplation, Mr. Mysterious seemed absorbed in his thoughts. Approaching him, Estelle spoke softly, “Have you been waiting here for long?” Hearing her voice, Mr. Mysterious wrenched his mind back to the present and gently touched her face. “Are you tired?” “No, I’m not tired.” “Would you like some coffee? Let me buy you a cup of your favorite hazelnut latte.” Mr. Mysterious suggested. When he was about to walk toward the café, Estelle quickly pulled his arm. “No. Don’t go there.” “What’s wrong?” Estelle then looked around vigilantly. After making sure that the owner of the café didn’t see them, she pulled him and ran away quickly. They didn’t stop until they had run a long way. Being pulled by Estelle, Mr. Mysterious ran with her and couldn’t help smiling all the way. “Sir, that café... Cristofer has taken me there many times, and the owner of the café knows us. If you went in just now, she would mistake you for Cristofer. And if one day in the future Cristofer goes

to the café again and talks with her, he will know your existence and your identity will be exposed!” Estelle explained to him. Hearing this, Mr. Mysterious chuckled. Seeing her out of breath, he let her lean against his chest and said, “Calm down and take deep breaths slowly.” “Okay...” Mr. Mysterious caressed her back to help her breathe smoothly and said, “Even if the owner of the café mistakes me for Cristofer, it doesn’t matter. Maybe Cristofer won’t come here again. He won’t know about my existence.” Estelle nodded, thinking that his words made sense. ‘Cristofer and I have got divorced, and he will start a new life. Maybe he will never come back to such a place full of memories of our past.’
